| Isn't this glorious weather, Mr..
Editor: Such days and nights are
enough to Danish the spleen from the
misanthropist, and put one in a good
lumor with himself and all mankind.
Mono but the confirmed malcontent or
lncurable hypocondriac could resist the
sweet influence of such delightful Octo-
ber time.
The weather for the PAST mouth has
been very favorable for the gathering
of crops. Little rain has fallen and
but little fall plowing has been done on
account of the dryness of the soil. Last
Friday night we were visited by q
! heavy wind and hail storm. accOmpa-
MED with Il little rain. Tho hail was
as large as PARTRIDGE eggs, and re-
| manned on the ground some time before
melting. We had several heavy frosts
the latter part of September, the ear
liest which have occurred for many
years. Slight damage resulted from
them. though they alarmed many farm
crs into cutting unripe sorghum. Tho
cool weather has retarded the growth
of the late corn, much of which was
unripe, though considerable cutting
has been done whore it had attained an
advanced stage. Crops in general have
turned out better here than for many
years. Farmers are very much dis
couraged over the low prices OF all
products. especially stock Mules , to

scarce. though farmers in general are
out Of debt. Stock of all kind is in
good condition to enter the winter. as
pastures have been excellent all the
year. We need rain at this time badly
not only to secure good fall pasture,
but to facilitate the breaking of land
for wheat and barley.

DOES FATALITY ATTEND HER?
The Steamship La Gascogne Again Overdue
at New York

NEW YORK, May 21.-The French line
steamer La Gascogne, due last Sunday,
has not yet been sighted off Fire island.
At the offices of the company confidence
is expressed that the steamer, which was
so admirably handled under trying
weather conditions last winter, will reach
port in safety. there having been no
storm at sea since she sailed from Havre.
The fact that the course usually taken by
La Gascogne contains at this time numer-
Gus icebergs may have prompted the cap
tain to take longer route or to move
slowly and . tiously.
PARIS, \. y eliza Gascogne which
sailed from Havre for New York May
1lth, and which is now about two DAYS
late, has on board ninety-five saloon pas
sengers and forty-nine steerage passen.
gers. Officials of the company assure in
quiring friends that there is absolutely
no cause for alarm.
ST. JOHNS, n. F.. May 21.-Nothing
has been heard here of La Gascogne.
Mariners think possibly she is embedded
in the ice and unable to work her way
through. or that they have struck an ice
berg. There are great quantities of ice
off the Newfoundland coast. The steam
er Oulunda. upon her arrival here report
ed several large bergs. The Allan liner
Carthagenian also met great deal of ice.
AS easterly winds prevail there it is not
improbable that La Gascogne will make

rame structure 200x50 feet 1t con-
tanned 5000 pounds of nitroglycerine and
1000 pounds of Hercules powder. A re-
markable feture of the explosion is the
fact that although the store house con-
tanning 1000 pounds of Hercules powdsr
is completely wrecked, its contents are in
tact. In all 10000 pounds of explosive
went up with roar and a sheet Of flame.
The fatalities are as follows:
The killed were; Clare Johnson, fore
man glycerine house. and d. A. Dean,
both of Pinole; II. Minush of Oakland;
G. Nenegas of Martinez; W. ID. Taylor,
foreman mixing house; nine Cinnamon.
PINOLE. CAL, May 2l.-All the men in
the nitro glycerine house were experts at
their business and Harry Minugh was at
ono time assistant superintendent of the
whole plant. From the position of the
bodies found it would seem that tho cause
Of the explosion was in the washing dc

bodies OF johnson and Minugh were in.
tact, while those in the lower part of the
building, or where the nitro-glycerine is
washed, were blown all 20 pieces. In
fact, but small portions of their bodies
have yet been recovered.
Twenty men are securing the fields for
mile around endeavoring to gather
some remains that would secure the
Identification of tho victims. The
tremendous force of the explosion can be
discovered on all sides. The nitro
glycerine house was built in the side hill.
which is about 800 yards north of the
railroad station. Great trees near by
were twisted and torn as if rent by Il
stroke of lightning. In all directions the
terrible violence of the explosion is ma
ifested. All over the surrounding fields
are scattered in ghastly confusion bits of
human remains, telling the horrible story
OF the disaster. Men IN all directions are
searching. only to find particles of the
bodies too small for any purpose. Large
sacks have been used to gather and hold
the remains which are being slowly col
lected. 1t seems impossible to secure
more than enough to identify two bodies.
Acting Superintendent Pollock said to
an Associated Press reporter who was at
the scene Of the disaster:
"This is the worst explosion We have
ever had at this point. l am utterly at a
loss to account for it, and cannot ad-
vance any theory as to its cause. The ex-
plosion has shaken up all the buildings in
the vicinity. 1t is impossible to tell how
much damage was done, but | am not
looking for damage yet. l am trying to
get together thu remains of these poor
victims. We are very careful regarding
the management of the nitro -glycerine
house ami have laid down strict rules for
that purpose. The Chinese are not al
lowed to enter it," =.

THREE ENGINES ORDERED
The Valley Railroad Getting Ready for
Business
Miles of Steel Rails Are on the Way From
the East and the Surveyors
Are at Work

SAN FRANCISCO. May 21.-The
freight engines were ordered today by the
board Of directors of the San Joaquin
Valley railroad. They are to be made at
the Baldwin locomotive works OF Phila-
delphia, and their price, although not
made public. will approximate $40 900
each. They are to be shipped within SIX
weeks after the placing of the order and
are to be sent across the continent by rail.
1t is the intention to use the engines at
first for construction work, and by the
time they have arrived it is expected
that enough grading will have been done
and sufficient rails been laid at Stockton
to utilize the locomotives there in the
hauling of fat cars. The board OF direc-
tors also decided to place an order tor
2000 tie plates, sufficient for 120 miles of
steel rails, on the way from the east
The plates are to be shipped partly by
rail, partly by steamer and the lest by
sailing vessels. so as to reach here at the
same time as the different shipments of
rail.
Chief Engineer Storey is making up
his second party of surveyors. They will
number ten or twelve persons and will
be ready to leave Thursday. Notice of
the second $40 share assessment has
been issued. Payment must be made at
the Bank of California. The assessment
will become delinquent on July I'd and
be sold on July Both.

COLUMBUS, May 21.-Hon. Allen W.
Thurman. chairman of the Democratic
state committee, on being asked today
VIII at he thought of Secretary Cariisle's
speech. said:
ITO all those who are conversant with
the history OF the subject it is simply
laughable to think. that the great secre-
tary of the treasury, i'll defense of the ad-
ministraiton and sound money, has been
compelled simply to make the same
speech that has been made by the Hon.
John Sherman each year for The last
twenty years. 1t is almost a dead copy
and has been answered over and ovel
again until the people are weary of it.
"The same dishonesty pervades it az
does the copy from which it is taken, but
in the case of MT. Carlisle it is worse, be.
cause he pretends to be q Democrat, and
then states that Democratic senators and
among them my father voted for tine act
of 1873. He is trying to create the i'm
preston all the while by his statement
that they did this with the full knowl-
edge of what the bill contained. when he
knew that every one of these senators
and representatives including the grand
old Beck from his own state, by whom
he now tries by misrepresentation to
help bolster up his own traltorous posi-
ton )denied in open senate that they had
any knowledge of what he tried in this
speech by the fraud make people believe
tt ey did AS. for instance. Judge Thur
man said: 81 cannot say what took
place in the house, but know when the
bill was pending in the senate we thought
it was simply bill to reform the mint.
regulate coinage and fix up one thing and
another. and there was not a single man
in the senate, unless member OF the
committee from which the bill came who
had the slightest idea that it was even
souint towards demonetization."
Senator Beck said: 1t (the bill de-
monetizing silver) never was understood
by either house of congress. l say that
with the full knowledge of the facts
Nearly every member of the senate and
house made similar statements. Why did
not Mr.. Carlisle tell the whole truth? Can
people believe such a man honest?"
DO you think the speech will do the sill
yer cause any harm?
'Well. as l said before. Senator Sher-
man has been making the same speech
for twenty years and the silver cause does
not seem to be growing any less; and
more. l suppose that Senator Sherman
will make the same old speech at the Re-
publican convention next week"
Senator Thurman is quite i'll at present,
and unable to keep up with the silver
question, which he and his son dicussed
for years together and on which they
fully agree.

Srecial to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
SAN DIEGO, May 21.-Thc British'gun-
boat Wild Swan. which, with the Royal
Arthur and Satellite, occupied Corinto
to enforce England's demands against
Nicaragua, arrived in port today, having
allied from Corinto on May 9th and Aca-
pulco May 9th. She will remain until
Saturday, take on coal and proceed to
Eso,timalt, b. c., from which port she Is
expected to be ordered to Bering sea.
Captain MacVey Napier was not to be
seen, but the other officers were free to
talk of the affair at Corinto, and said that
the Americans there enjoyed the exper-
fences with the British as huge joke.
One of the officers who did not care to
have his name mentioned, said: 1.-The
report that Admiral Stevenson told
friend while at Corinto that the BRITISH
government did not care for the indem-
nifty but that the occupation was mainly
for the purpose of testing Monroe doc
trines and forever setting that question
at rest was all nonsense. The two gov
ernments were IN perfect harmony. Cleve-
land and Gresham knew every move that
Kimberly intended to make, and they
were satisfied that there was no scheme
to gain permanent control OF any portion
of the Nicaraguan te-rirory.
I'm fact, before we went to Corinto ii
was generally understood that there
would be no interference on the part oil
the United States. l am so sure of what
I am saying that l will tell you that the
United States government was kept posted
on all intended movements as we'll as all
that was actually accomplished. The mate
who kept the state department posted was
Admiral Stevenson h mself. and l suppose
he had his orders to do this. l saw the
dispatches announcing our intention OF
occupying Corinto, and the Wild Swan
carried them to San Juan del Sur. One
dispatch was sent to London and another
to New York, instead OF to Pauncefote in
Washington. l tell you the American
government was thoroughly in accord
with her majesty's government in the
whole matter. For this reason we paid
no attention to the Nicaraguans when
they said the American feet was on the
way down the coast.
Later we heard of the Monterey COM
ing. but were assured that she was going
on down to Callao. After we took Corinto
two more dispatches were sent again to
London and New York.
