ura1 Ice Is Practically Unknown.
The New York Times" calls atten-
ton to the fact that Florida lies be-
tween the parallels Of % and 81 de.
grees forth latitude, every part of
California is a higher latitude the
southern boundary being the 32d
parallel, aud the state extending as
far north as the 42d degree, and yet
| all dong the coast the weather this
winter has been milder than in Flori-
da which lies neare. the equator than
the most southerly portion of South
elm California.
1t must be that the great Pacific
Ocean With the temp eraturc Of it's wa
ters modified by the great Kuro Sirro,
or Japanese Gulf stream, is RESPONSE
| BILE for the mildness of the climate
Of the coast In the interior particu-
larly in the mountain regions of the
state, there is a great deal of snow
and cold weather, but not along the
coast, and it is remarkable to see how
| far the mild coast climate extends
eastward and inward. Not until the
warm wave from the ocean is met and
counteracted by the chill of the snow
clad Sierra is there degree of cold
experienced which Is in any respect
| worth considering.
Here in San Francisco, as in all
countries which border Oh the ocean,
at least until we approach the Ore
gon line, it is extremely rare to see
natural ice, unless it be little thin
sheet over a pool formed by the rain
or little skim over a horse trough,
or something of that sort The frost,
even, is not enough to injure any but
the tenderest plants and flowers and
they must be protected by the exer-
else Of the most ordinary precautions.
We can take no credit to ourselves
for our climatic conditions, but we
may congratulate ourselves that we
are so happily situated. No extreme
Of climate is known in most of the
coast counties of California, and biz
yards are something's with which we
are acquainted by reputation only. In
10 degrees of latitude we have not
climatic variation enough, So far as
the coast is concerned, to make it
worth while to compare San Diego

TO USE THE KNIFE

And Submit to Painful Operation-This
 the Doctors Advised as the Only Hope,
 the Case Being Critical One-The Hap
 py Termination of Deep-Rooted Preju-
 dice.
 Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Hartville, Mo-, had an interesting experience with the doc tors recently, and was on the verge Of a painful surgical operation. He writes: 'I hereby add my unqualified endorsement Of your excellent remedy, s. s. $. For six years have been sufferer from scrofu- lous affection Of the glands of my neck, and all efforts of physicians in Washington, D. C., Springfield, Ill.,, and St. Louis failed to reduce the enlargement. After six months constant treatment here my physi- clan urged me to submit to a removal of the gland. At this critical moment a friend recommended s. s. s., and laying aside a deep-rooted prejudice against all patent medicines, I began it's use. Before l had used one bottle the enlargement began to disappear, and now 1t is entirely gone, and am almost cured. l am not through with my second bottle yet. Had l only used your $. s. s. years ago, could have escaped years of misery and saved over sl5O. If this endorsement will serve you in any way, use it.n
 This experience is like that of all who suffer with deep-seated blood troubles. The doctors can do no good, and even their re- sorts to the knife prove either fruitless or fatal 5. S. s. is the only real blood rem edy. It gets at the root of the disease, and forces it out permanently.

SWEPT BY FIRE.
Fearful Confiagration at San Fran cisco One Hundred Families and S2,OOO,OOO Worth of Property Destroyed.


 Worth of Property Destroyed.
 SAN FRANCISCO, June 2s-Shortly before 6 o'clock last night a fire broke out in the rear of the San Francisco box factory, located on the corner of Fifth and Bryant streets. The factory was two-story frame building filled with inEammable ma terinl. The flames spread rapidly and 1t soon became apparent that serious confiagration was threatened. Within few minutes the entire east end of the block bounded by Brannon and Bryant streets was a mass of flames. The flames soon spread all over the block, destroying in few minutes the yards of the Spring Valley water works and furniture factory of H. Euler. The box factory of Korbell Bros, also the stable of II. Washburn, the carriage factory of G. w. Phelan and the soda factory of J. Horstmann were all destroyed in short order.
 At s:30 p. m. the entire block bound- ed by Fourth, Fifth, Bluxom and Grammar streets was a mass of ruins The fire reached the Overland Trans fer Co.'S brick freight house, and the hardware storehouse of Baker & Ham, ilton. These brick buildings tempo rarily checked the flames, but they worked around to the yards. A num- Der of wool warehouses were de- stroyed. The enormous brick winery of Lachman & Co.,, which contained several million gallons of wine, caught fire at one corner. The wind was blowing half gale and the sparks were carried for blocks, greatly in creasing the spread of the fire.
 One death has been reported. A Miss Gilroy, while attempting to save some of her belongings, was covered with burning oil and burned to death. A number of people have received in- juries from falling walls and flying timbers. The people in the fire dis trict were panic stricken. Most of the people are of the poorer classes and were making determined efforts to save their small belongings. Express wagons and drays were at a premium and people were moving out blocks away from the fire.
 Probably 100000 people gathered at the fire and the police were powerless to keep them away. The fire depart ment officials pronounced the fire prac- tically under control at 9:30. Over 100 families lost their homes and all they possess. A large number of horses were burned in their stables. Proba- ply g, GOO, 900 will cover the loss. It is nearly total loss, however, as owing to the dangerous district insurance rates have been so high that insurance was almost prohibited.

American Yachtsmen Imprisoned by Span-
 iards in Cuba.
 NEW ORLEANS, June 29.-Ex-Commo- dore w. A. Gordon, of the Southern Yacht club, has received a cable dis patch from attorneys in Havana stat ing that the yacht Nepenthe has been seized by the Spanish authorities and that her owners, George Agar and Bishop Dudley, have been imprisoned. Both of these men are prominent in social and business circles of this city, being members of the cotton and sugar exchanges The Nepenthe left here a few weeks ago on a cruise along the Florida coast, and then sailed across to Cuba. It is said that the yacht was overhauled by Spanish gunboat and lowed into Havana.
 Although the cable is very brief, it is supposed from its tenor that the yacht was suspected of carrying filibuster- ing expedition. There are several others in the party besides the two owners, but it is not known whether they were all placed in confinement. The seizure of the yacht and imprison- ment of her owners created great ex- citement when the fact became known and steps were at once taken to lay the matter before Secretary Olney.

Influential po- litical friends, it was charged, pre- vented Scott's incarceration in the penitentiary, and while enjoying his freedom pending the supreme courts action, he was taken from his buggy by dozen masked men and hanged.

 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 2s.-The most disastrous fire which ever visited Minneapolis accomplished its work of destruction and death last night. Within an hour after the alarm rang in at Il o'clock six fremen paid the penalty of death for their faithfulness in trying to save the property of others. Several others were seriously injured, and it is thought that there may still be more dead who have not yet been extricated from under the ruins of the walls which fell and crushed them.
 The property loss consisted of the entire demolition of the building occu- pied by Mcdonald Bros, dealers in crockery, chinaware, glassware, silver ware and gas fixtures. The building was of four stories, brick walls and wooden interior framework and was we'll stocked. The total loss will ag- gregate over S100,oO0; insurance un- known
