VALLEJO, CAL, April 4.-The monitor
Monterey received orders late this alter
noon to proceed to Callao. The board of
inspection was on board to-day, and re-
ports that everything is in satisfactory
condition and the vessel well fitted for a
long sea voyage. 1t is understood in naval
circles here that at Callao she will receive
orders to proceed around Cape Horn to
New York. Preparations are now being
made, and the vessel will be got ready for
sea probably within the next twenty-four
hours.
With the departure of the Monterey the
only vessels remaining at the yard will be

An Old Resident of Battle Mountain
Perishes In the Flames of His
Cottage at Midnight.

VALLEJO, CAL, April A bold at
tempt was made last night to destroy the
residence of A. III. Wells of South Vallejo.
Had it not been for the vigilance of Night
Waterman Haugh serious confagration
might have followed.
In making his rounds Officer Haugh de-
tected the odor of burning cloth in the
vicinity of Wells residence. He made a
search and soon found out the cause. He
awoke the occupants and went over the
premises. While Haugh had gone inside
the house the flames had chance to get
under way, and on coming out of the yard
he found the cutters under the caves of the
house on fire. A large quantity of clothing
saturated with oil was found. The cloth
ing consisted mainly of female apparel.
The flames were extinguished, and little
damage was done.
A bunch of burned matches was found
lying on the ground beneath the spot
where the clothing was burning. Of late
South Vallejo has been infested with
tramps, who not only make themselves
disagreeable, but have been decided nui-
sance to respectable residents. 1t is sup
posed that some of these in a spirit of re-
venge committed the act. Evidence
strongly points to the fact that the rags
were saturated with oil first, poked in under
the caves, and then ignited.

SACRAMENTO GRAND JURY,
1T Will Not Investigate the
Alleged Combine of
- State Senators.
-Matters+of Local Importance Which
Portend Sensations Are on
the Tapis.

= SACRAMENTO, CAL, April 4.-The
Grand Jury, which has adjourned for a
week, has definitely decided not to investi-
gate into the alleged methods pursued by
the Senatorial combine in rushing through
A'cinch". bills for monetary consideration.
: One of the reasons they give for taking
.this course is that they do not consider
that sufficient evidence can be adduced to
ENABLE. them to procure indictments
against any of the Senators who, it is al
legged, have committed dishonest actions.
Another reason is that they have discov-
cred enough dishonesty in the administra-
ton Of local politics and the methods en-
ployed. in conducting county institutions
to occupy all the time at their disposal.
1t. is rumored that they have other
weighty matters to investigate and it is
said that when they reassemple new mat
ter viii be entered upon that may involve
one holding a high official position who, it
is claimed, has been conducting politics in
his precinct LIN favor of the Southern
Pacific Company.
The members of the Grand Jury are
close-mouthed upon the subject, but will
not deny the fact that sensational devel-
!opments are on the tapis.

OFFER FROM MARsHA1L FIELD.
He Will Giee Literally to the WomGn's
Christian Temperance Union.

He Will Giee Literally to the WomGn's
Christian Temperance linton.
CHICAGO, ILL.,. April A generous
offer OF Marshall Field to the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union is announced
Mr.. Field promises $4,000 with the pro-
viso that $275, 600 more be raised by Janu-
airy l. 1896. 1t is intended that this total
sum be applied on the debt overhanging
the Woman's Temple.
The building of the Woman's Temple is
the greatest financial enterprise in which
o coterie of women have engaged. 1t was
erected from money secured by the sale of
stocks and bonds. The association was
capitalized for $500, 600 and bonded for an
equal amount. The building cost $685.
400, leaving floating debt of $3.50, 900.
The trustees of the temple who disburse
the gift fund have purchased over $500, 900
of the stock, which gives them the con-
trolling interest in the building. When
the entire stock is owned by them and the
bonded debt liquidated the property will
be decided to the National Women's Chris
tan Temperance Union. Half of the in
come will go to the national society and
half to the States pro rata the amount each
State has paid toward the building fund.
The time has come when the union wants
to make the Woman's Temple it's own, in
fact. Lady Henry Somerset wrote to Mr..
Field, saying any financial failure in
Chicago would be disastrous to temperance
work all over the world. In few days
Mr.. Field responded with his offer, and
plans are already perfected to secure the
desired amount. Mrs. G. II. Mccormack
has subscribed $40, 900, and Sc veral smaller
sums have been added

AGAINsT THE CATTLE COMBINE.
The Grotcers Prepared to Reap Some of
the Profits From Beef.

CHICAGO, April 4.-The Post says: 1t
is learned from sources close to the foun-
tainhead that the cattle-raisers of the West
are bending every effort to the perfection
of an organiza ton during the coming sea-
son to fight the dressed-beef combine. The
advance in the price of beef has incensed
instead of modifying them. They claim
that they are only getting small and wholly
inadequate advantage from the advance
in the price to consumers, the combine
taking most of it and leaving them an in
significant end of the gain.
Cattle-raisers are now devoting them
selves to the consideration of scheme of
establishing markets at Chicago, Omaha,
st. Louis, Kansas City, New York and
other points for the sale of cattle for fu-
ture delivery sale to be made according to
recognized grades and descriptions. They
claim that under existing methods they
are absolutely at the mercy of the combine,
being obliged TO accept whatever price
may be named for cattle on arrival at the
packing centers or go the expense of carry
ing the stock and at the end of the contest
selling at heavier sacrifice than would
have been first incurred.
They argue that they can keep their
ranges and farms cheaper than at the other
end of the line, and that they need not
contract to deliver their property at
future date until satisfactory prices can be
obtained. In order to secure competition
in bidding for "cattle futures" the scheme
is said to comprehend the establishing of
packing-houses and distributing depots, as
well as necessary machinery for the ex-
portation of the product, so as to get in
touch with consumers at home and abroad.
This sort of thing has been talked about in
an indefinite fashion for a good while, but
it is stated on apparently the best OF
authority that the plans are now assuming
practical form with immense resources be-
hind the proposition.
