FOREST FIRE AT SANTA CRUZ
A Desperate Fight to Save the City
Reservoir
Three Thousand Acres of Land Are Now
Burned Over and the Fire Still
Holds Sway

SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 23.-The 70 re st
fires this afternoon crept nearly to the
city reservoir. AT this point hard fight
was made. After desperate struggle on
the part OF big force of men the ap-
proach OF thu flames was stayed. Then
the fire took another course to the west,
reaching the bridge that separates Wild
Ell dairy from the burning territory. If
it had crossed the dividing line nothing
could have saved the destruction of both
the buildings. Light breezes this after
noon only tended 10 fan the fire into in
creased ferocity. Hundreds of men are
on guard at every point at which there is
any danger Of the flames spreading.
There is no danger of the fire spreading
to the powder works and even il it does
.here would not be an explosion of the
15O tons of powder at the mills for the
men have standing orders to wet down
the powder in case OF any sign of the fl re
approaching. Already the fire TERRITORY
covers 1900 acres. III. O'Cowelrs loss Is
roughly estimated at $30, 900 and the de-
struction still holds sway on his lands.
Word has been received that big fire
has broken out in Shingle guich. close to
FELTON,. The railroad company has a
force of men staying the advance of the
flames. This evening the atmosphere is
unusually warn. in the city, caused by
the heat from the forest fires. From be-
hind the hills the flames can be seen
lcaping up. Many of those who have
lost are poor people who have been cut
ting wood all summer.

THE SILVERITE DEMOCRATS
Will Appoint Chairmen for the Various
States
Hinrichsen Fondly Hopes to Avoid European
Wars, Which Would Authorize Bone

MEMPHIS, Sept. GA meeting of the
Democratic silver leaders, called to put
in practical shape the conclusions of the
conference held in Washington last month
10 in session here today. There are pres
ent Senators Harris and Jones Of Arkan-
sas; w. III. Hinrichsen, chairman OF the
Illinois state Democratic COMMITTEES Gov
ernor Stone of Missouri; b Hon. Casey
Young Of Memphis, and several others of
less note. The chief object of The meet
ing is to appoint chairmen for the
different states, who are to organize the
silver forces with view to capturing
state delegations to the national Demo-
cratic convention.
The leaders seem hopeful OF accom-
plishing this result, particularly Hin
richsen. He says the Democracy of the
south and doubtful states west are for
free silver and will vote it the next cleo
tion. He reiterated his former declara-
tions as to the policy and purposes of the
Cleveland, he said

Cuba and eventually with England. This
would give him an excuse for his issue of

country, and besides clear the way for a

HE HAS BEEN PROMOTED
A British Consul General at San
Francisco
The Large Amount Of Business Transacted
Necessitates Some Changes in the
Pacific Consular Service

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 23-The rank
OF the British government representa-
tive has been changed Hereafter the
gentleman wLo watches British inter
ests will hold the title of consul general.
Of late the business of the San Francis
co office has increased so rapidly that it
was deemed necessary TO elevate the rar k
of the officer in charge.
J.W. Warburton who has been appoint
ed chief OF the Office at this port, will be
the first British consul general at San
Francisco. He was assigned to this port
about six months ago but he has as vet
not arrived here. He is expected, how
ever, to take charge OF his office on the
1st of November. The office is at present
in charge of Nice-Consul Moore, who is
acting as consul general.
The change in rank means change in
the entire British consulate service on
the coast. The Office at Portland. Ore
which heretofore has been in the hands
of a vice consul, is now made a consulate,
ranking next to the local Office. The
office at present Is in charge of Nlce-Con
sui Laidlaw. but he will proba bly, be
raised to the rank OF consul.
When that Office Is put in charge of a
consul this consular district is to he
greatly changed. The Office here will then
cover only California. Nevada, Utah and
Oregon, ms Arizona, Was hington and Ida
ho will be assigned TO the Portland dis
trict. This will ieave only two vice
suis under the local office, those at San
Diego and Los Angeles.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC
Judge jenkins VIII Ignore the Seattle Courts
Order

Order
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 23.-All doubts
as to the intention of Judge Jenkins TO
maintain jurisdiction over the Northern
Pacific receivership and of the receivers
acknowledging his jurisdiction and disre
garding the order OF the Seattle court
were removed today, when Judge jenkins
entered an order requiring all parties
with preferential claims arising from the
-eceivers' operation OF the Wisconsin
Central lines and terminal properties at
Chicago to make answer to the petition
of the receivers regarding the adjustment
of claims by Novsm Der lst.
The petition is, in effect that the cour:
divide the claims equally between the
Northern Pacific and the Wisconsin Cen
tral and the Chicago and Northern Pa
cific. and that IN the meantime the re-
ceivers be given PERMISSION to pay out
large sum of money. All through the Pc
tition shows total disregard of the or
der OF the Seattle court. ard 1t is evident
that the receivers have elected to have
the question OF jurisdiction passed on
this way. The question of jurisdiction
will be raised as to the right Of the court
to allow the receivers to deal with such
large sums as are involved. and there is
little doubt that Judge jenkins will lind
that he has jurisdiction as he heretofore
held. This will ensure the question be.
ing brought squarely to the higher court
for decision.

Cut


Cut
LODI, Cal. Sept. 23.-Arthur Ennis,
son of ex-Supsrvsor Ennis, was stabbed
tonight in quarrel with man named
Bill Loomis and may die. Ennis was the
aggressor and received the stab in the
breast while he was striking Lewis, but
it is not certain whether the knife was
used by Loomis or his son Boyd, young
man 10 years old. The trouble was
started by Ennis last Saturday evening,
when ne went to the no p where Loomis
works and insulted him. Others in ter
fered and the quar- ell ended This even
ing the men met on the street and both
were under the in huence of liquor. En-

went to the assistance of his father. He
was seen to strike Ennis during the
knocking about of the men. Ennis was
stabbed III the right breast, the knife
penetrating the lung and making a very
dangerous wound. He is single man,
aged "A wears, and was recently slightly
hurt while working on a bridge near New
Hope. when pile driver on which he
was employed fell with him. Loomis is
q drinking man and the father OF large
family. having wife and nine children.
When he was arrested he said he had no

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23.-The Brit.
ish naval court which was convened by
VIce-Consul Moore to investigate the
wreck of the steamer Bawnmore, off tho
coast of Oregon last month, has made its
report.
The findings completely exonerate Cap.
tain Woodsides from all blame and his
certificate is returned. In conclusion the
court says:
Upon the evidence given the vessel
appears to have been navigated in a sea-
manlike and proper manner. and, in the
opinion of this court. the stranding OF
the ship is attributable to an excess of
current setting in towards the lands of
which he master could have no knowl-
edge in the thick weather prevailing
since leaving Cape Flattery. The error
in the compass also appears to have con-
trihuted to the loss of the vessel in caus-
ing her to be taken inside her course up
to the 9th of August, when the error in
the compass was discovered ana rectifed.
Considering these circumstances, the
court sees no ground for blam ing the con-
duct of the master, and returns his GER
titicate herewith. Officers and crew ap-
pear to have conducted themselves prop
erly aud used their best endeavors to save
the vesseE.2

Langtry said that there was no suspicion
against any of her servants. but that the
scheme must have been worked up by
somebody who was cognizant of her
affairs. for never before was there SO nuch
of her jewelry at the bank. Her maid
suggested that she take it with her to
Baden, but she thought it safer to leave
il in the custody OF the bank. Mrs.
Langtry said that she thought it was
curious that the people at the bank were
not aware that she was on the continent
