Is THE HORSE GOING oUTs

L. 81. Brockway of Boston says through
the Globe OF that city that the cry about
the decadence of the use Of the horse be-
cause Of the incoming of the electric car,
the motor carriage and the bicycle is all a
mistake. He is in the horse business,
and declares that his trade has actually
increased 80 per cent. since the introduc-
ton of the rapid and selt-means of move
ment on the highway.
The reason he gives is this, that the
horse has been cheapened and therefore
brought within the means of people who
before could not afford to own one. He
finds, for instance, that more horses have
been sold in Boston in the last year than
in any preceding year. The horse. he
says, is more used for pleasure now than
ever, and, in his opinion, good horses
will be more plentiful and more in use by
reason of the bicycle and the electric car,
instead of being run out.
Mr.. Brockway's reasons being based on
what he alleges to be facts cannot be gain
said, if his statements are true, and the
Globe credits Mr.. B. with being an au-
thority. But what is true in Boston is
not as yet true in this section. We in
cline however, TO the belief that it will
come about here as 1t has there, that the
introduction of the new modes of move
ment will actually bring the horse into
more general use than ever, and while
the animal is cheapened it will not follow
that it will not pay to raise horses.
In all sudden changes in the economies
of life there is in the transition stage
some hardship and friction, and so it has
been in this case of the horse and the
electric car and the bicycle.
As has been well said people are apt to
look at the immediate and the probable,
seldom recalling that in the great major
ity of cases it is the unexpected that hap
pens. We do not believe that the busi-
ness of raising, selling and using the
horse is to be ruined. On the contrary,
the new conditions that are complained
of may create new demand and use for
the horse. II is not improbable.

SOME steps should be taken to secure
for California representative at the Ma
tiona1 Road Parliament to be held at At
lanta on the 18th of October. The Execu-
tive Committee has one representative in
California, and is authorized to invite
all representative bodies to send dele
gates But the State should have dele
gates also. The Department of the In
terror has issued a general invitation to
States and organizations represent
alive OF agriculture, commerce, indus
try. education and political gov
ernment and commissions, to send
delegates. This invitation has been
printed in all the leading newspapers and
constitutes the general appeal, as it is the
official Endorsement of the parliament.
More can be learned at the convention of
road economies than by travel TO and vis-
itation of all the Bureaus OF Highways of
all the States. The Road Commission OF
every Eastern State will be represented,
and so should those OF the Pacific States.
While no fund is provided for the pur-
pose in California, yet doubtless dele
gates could be selected by some State au-
thority TO represent California and
provision made for them. The con-
vention will be really an exchange Of in
formation, backed by object lessons and
exhibits that will constitute liberal
education in road matters. 1t is now but
a little more than month before the con-
vention assemblies. We suggest that the
State Agricultural Society. the official
board of which is now in session, name a
delegate and that the Regents Of the State
University name another. The State
Grange should send one or more and SO
should the Technical Society of Califor-
MIA. In addition the State should be rep
resented by some one or more OF its
officials.

Associated Press Special Wire

HAVANA. Oct. l0.-Admiral Gomez
y'Mas arrived here this morning from the
Colorado reefs. the scene of the wreck OF
the Spanish cruiser. Cristobsl Colon. he
confirmed the details previously given
| by the Associated Press. saying that on
SEPTEMBER 18th the cruiser was on the
western extremity of the island IN 3
heavy sea and with the COLORADO reefs Co
leeward.
As night approached the weather de-
veloped into reuglar cyclone and the
cruiser could not hold out to sea. In adj
dition, her officers, owing to the total
darkness, were unable TO make any OBJ
servations. Some of them were in favor
OF attempting to round Cape San An
tonic and make Cienfuegos, and others
were of the opinion that it would be bet
ter to make an attempt TO reach Havana.
The majority. however. thought It best to
try to ride out the storm off the coast vi
Pinar del Rio.l But the cruiser was
driven nearer and nearer to the reefs snd
shortly after midnight she began to
ground and afterwa-d was almost fast on
the reef. The commander Of the Cristol-
bal Colon had previously done every
thing possible to keep her off the shore,
but without avail. as the cyclone blew
harder and harder, eventually. early in
the morning of September 80, driving her
right over the reefs. During the morn
ing of September 80 the commander OF
the wrecked cruiser ordered the crew to
their boats TO try to reach the shore. he
determined finally, however. TO remain
himself on board with twenty men.
The FIRST officer was sent with the boats
with orders to send back the boats if he
could in safety. but not TO send th am at
the risk of nybody's life.
The boats reached Santa maria with
great difficulty and were able to rescue
the captain ana the remainder of the
crew. The cruiser and her heavy artil-
lery Will beyond doubt prove a total
loss, although her light guns and ammu-
milton have been saved.
In conjunction with the column COM
manded by Colonel Palencia, the troops
commanded by Genearl Oliver, have left
for Seboruca in order to attack 200 in
surgents who are reported TO be occupy
ing a strong position there. A severe en-
gagement is expected.
4 dispatch from Remedies says the in
surgents have thrown dynamite shells at
a railroad train near Remedies il the
province of Santa Clara. one passenger
being killed and six wounded. This ac-
ton has caused great indignation
against them.
Today eight more political prisoners
have been sent to the Spanish convict
settlements in Africa.

FINE GRIT AND A REVOLVER
Save the Life of a Southern Pacific
Operator
The Lady Is Not Very Seriously Injured and
the Robbers. Unfortunately, Made
Their Escape

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10.-A fine
display of grit and the liberal use OF
pistol probably saved the life of Mrs :.
Leva Marshall, the Southern Pacific ope-
rator at Baden tonight.
About S:15 o'clock G. L. Hernst, the
office manager, left the Office, leaving
Mrs. Marshall III charge. About fifteen
minutes later Mrs. Marshall was sta rtled
by someone kicking on the door. She
was somewhat alarmed at the violence
displayed, and putting a pistol in her
pocket went toward the door TO open ii.
but before she reached it the door was
kicked in and tall, dark complexioned
man, wearing a mask, entered and de-
manded money, leaving companion
outside. Mrs. Marshall drew her revolver
for use, but the dark-hued villain was
too quick for her and fired at her heart,
missing 1t by few inches, the bullet en-
tering her left arm at the elbow.
Mrs. Marshall then com mepced to use
her revolver, emptying it on the 1eeing
robbers. She waited for some time think
ing that the shots would be heard. but
no assistance coming, she telegraphed to
Train Dispatcher Walters in this city,
VIII Immediately sent a special car to
bring her to San Francisco for treatment,
but before the train arrived a constable
appeared and commenced a search for
the men, but without success.
Two hard-looking characters were seen
lurking around the town this afternoon
and as fairly good description has been
obtained, it is very probable that they
will he apprehended.
Mrs. Marshall is now at st. Luke's hos
pital in this city. Ii or injuries are n OF
very serious. She is from Spokane.

THE MARKET FOR SILVER
An Upward Tendency Attracts Attention
From Dealers
Some Speculations as to Prosperity to Result
If Silver Prices Ever Go
High Enough

NEW YORK Oct. l0.-The upward ten
dency OF the market for silver is attract
ing close attention both here and in
Europe. The headquarters of speculation
in silver is in London. but Its price,
among other influences, has a distinct
bearing upon the securities of several of
our railway systems, as we'll as those of
the Mexican lines. The rise In silver, if
continued, would affect the last men
toned properties in three separate ways.
First, in the gross earnings, as the pre-
dominant industry in Mexico is the min
ing of silver, which has been continued
despite the fall in its price, and would
naturally De stimulated by an increase in
the earnings of the roads which traverse
the mining districts.
Second, the roads would be benefited
by reduction in their operating ex-
penses, about onc-third of which are
paid in gold.
Third. higher price for silver in
creases the capacity Of the roads to meet
their fixed charges, which are payable
In gold.
estimated that if the Mexican Central
railroad had received the same price in
1894 for silver as that obtained in 1892 in
stead of a deficit OF $4,000 for 1884, as
actually shown. the road would have
earned a substantial surplus above fixed
charges.
Also that the Mexican Natio nal. with
the same rate of exchange as existed in
1890. would have earned in 1894 full in
terest on both prior lien and "A' bonds.
In the United States the Rocky noun
tain rUads would be favorably affected by
further appreciation in the price of the
white metal and more particularly the
people who sre interested in the rehabl-
itation of the Union Pacific system. 1t
will be remem bered that after the Barring
crisis in 1890 the Union Pacific Difficult
ties were adjusted under the administra-
ton of Pierpont Morgan by the issue
of large collateral trust. For three
years from that time until the silver cri.
sis in 1893, the property reflected steadily
improving conditions with the result that
the securities advanced so that large
amount of collateral trust notes we're re-
tired.
When the silver collapse occurred. the
road went into the hands of receivers. al.
though no charges of Irregularities or in
com potency were brought against the
management. 1t was simply case Of
lost earning power. due to the fact that
the sustaining industry of tue regions
through which large portion of the
road traversed, had been raralyzsd.

EPISCOPALIAN CONVENTION
A Sensational Debate on a Bishop for
Alaska
A Faithful Missionary Is Somewhat Harshly
Criticized But All for the
Good of the Cause

MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 10.-The board
of missions of the Episcopal church this
evening debated resolution offered by
Bishop Gilbert of Minnesota, which re-
quired the house OF bishops to elect a
bishop of Alaska. The debate was quite
sensational.
Bishop Rulison of Central Pennsyl-
vania answered some of the charges that
have been made against missions in
ALASKA. He pleaded for a missionar y
bishop for Alaska. and he "hoped to God
the Methodists and Presbyterians would
occupy the field if his church did not
wake up"
Bishop Neely of Maine vigorously op-
posed what he called the spending of
money for the petty work in Alaska. He
moro equitably distributed. He declared
that tne people there we're mac cessible
to missionaries. He used some sarcasm
in referring to Alaskan statistics and fig
ured that there was some sort of a relig-
ious institution in Alaska already for
every seventy people, and that the Epis-
copalians would have hard work finding
a place to put their feet. Referring to
posed to make bishop, he said he would
not accept him as a missionary for Aris-
took county, Maine. He could not talk
the language after being there seven
years.
Bishop Tuttle of Missouri defended the
proposition for a bishop, and Bishop
Whipple of Minnesota observed that it was
the first time in the history of the church
that faithful missionary had been SO
harshly criticized.
Bishop Seymour and others mace Wig
orous replies to the bishop from Maine,
and Bishop Paret and others defended
him and said he deserved the thanks OF
the board for introducing new ora IN
missionary discussions.
The matter will come up again tomor.

MADRID, Oct. 10.-It has been noticed
recently that there has been quite un-
usual activity in the government dock
yards at the different ports of Spain and
that workmen are nusily at work reft-
ting cruisers and CUNT boats. In addition
it has become known that certain gov
eminent officials have been discussing
the question of arming the steam snips
belonging to the Spanish Transatlantic
company, and it is believed that these
preparations are due to the belief that
there is a possibility that the United
States muy recognizes the Cuban insur-
gents as belligerents. The minister OF
marine, Admiral Bsrnagos, confirms this
report, but he declares that this course
is not due to any idea of possible inter-
national conflict, but As merely carrying
out conviction previously made with
the company for the use of its steamers.
MADRID, Oct. 10. 1t is reported here
on the best of authority that the Ameri-
can government has notified the Spanish
minister at Washington that it is
necessary for Spain to act promptly in
crushing the Cuban insurrection. This
news has caused a profound sensation
here,
