Engineer Story says the Work of Com

SAN FRANCISCO June 21.-The Valley
road managers are now engaged on final
preparations for beginning construction
OF the railway at Stockton Immediately,
and if everything turns out as expected
grading and building may be begun with
in the next three weeks.
'All matters pertaining to the imme-
diate construction of the road are well in
hand" said Chief Engineer Story. 1.-The
prellmlnarles have been completed, and
all we are waiting for now Is TO get rights
Of way and the franchise from the Stock
ton people. Just as soon as they have
done their part we will be ready TO start
right there ard then. The rails will be
here in two weeks. We uon't intend to
wait for the cars and locomotives to be
delivered.
ut is our determination to start con-
structlOn right away. We can get along
without construction train in Stockton.
Within the city limits a lew small flat
rail cars Will suffice for carrying rails to
the front, and ties, spikes and other ma
terlalS can be hauled on wagons. With
these cOnveniences we shall run the
tracks from Stockton harbOr to the cor
porate limits, and by the time that
much is done we shall have construction
trains to push the work down the San
Joaquin. The first locomotive will be
here III about three weeks. 1t is nearly
finished now In the works at Philadel-
phia. and the other tw o engines are pretty
nearly as far advanced. SO | believe we

THE CHINESE LOAN.
American Capitalists stand GoOt

American Capitalists stand GOOD
show of Securing 1t.
WAsHINGToN June 21.-Of1icials of the
Chinese Legation say that the American
capitalists VINO are negotiating in China
TO secure loan OF 200. .0000 00U taels, which
China is about to pay to Japan, are by no
means urging vague or futile suit, and
that they stand quite as good chance of
securing the loan as any other money
representatives.. Some apprehension has
been created by cable statement that
China has closed her loan in Paris.
1t is explained by officials that this
loan is subordinate one OF 10, 600, 900 taeis
to cover The surrender of Liao Tung Pc
ninsula. AS Russia and France prevailed
on Japan 10 make the surrender,
thus yielding the permanent occupancy
OF Port Arthur. these two countries un-
dertook to guarantee the loan of 5000, 900
taels, which reimburses Japan for this
particular transaction. But the main in
demnity of 100000 600 taels carries no
guaranty by Russia and France, and it is
this main loan which is still open, aud to
which the attention of American invest
ors is attracted.
There is much interesting speculation
as to the result OF the loan if it is secured
by the American parties. 1t is said that
the hrst result would be the shipment of
an unprecedented amount of silver. But
rs Chlna's bonds are payable i'll gold, the
ultimate result would be to bring back
gold for the silver paid to Japan. 1t is
pointed out also that the interest on the
entire loan Will not exceed $1,000, 600 an
nually, so that the Chinese customs re-
ceipts OF SO, 100000 will readily meet the
interest charges and provide a sinking
fund for the redemption of the bonds.
which will probably run for twenty years.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
THE ROOF OF a BUILDING AT
SAN FRANCISCO COLLAPSEs,
Carrying Several .Workmen Down
With the Debris-One Man Killed
and Others Injured.
Special to the RECoRD-UNIox.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 2l.-One man
was killed and three injured by an acci-
dent at the old City Hall this morning.
The structure is of stone and nearly fifty
years old. The city recently sold it for
removal, intending to erect fine build
ing on its site. Workmen have been
tearing it down, so that little more than q
shell is now left.
The accident happened a few minutes
before ii, when five of the men were on
the top floor of the old building at Wash
ing and kearny. Among the five men
was James Wilkinson, who, with \. n ell
son, John Sievers and two others, was
near the south wall OF the old El Dorado
building. They had no premonition of
danger, and the tlrst they knew of the
approaching catastrophe was when the
floor on which they were standing began
10 give away beneath them.
-Four OF the men made an attempt to
reach something to save themselves from
the TALL, but Wilkinson was seen, as the
floor went down, to throw his hands in
the air, in which position he was seen
when they went from sight. Wilkinson
was nearer the center of the roof than the
when the debris and men reached the
bottom of the walls. He was pinned be-
meath the debris and held there, while his
companions, who had fallen clear of the
rubbish and bricks, were able to crawl
out and save themselves. None OF the
men saw the doomed man after they
reached the bottom, as the falling floor
raised cloud of dust that obscured the
building Tor a long time. They saw
clearly enough to find theiy way out,
however, ana lost no time in climbing
through the apertures lett III the wall on
the kearny-street side.
Sievers and two OF the other unfortu-
nate laborers were penned in on the
ground floor and had to break through a
window TO get out. Nelson clint bed q
board to q second-story window in front
and crawled out OF it. The four escaped
with number Of bruises and scratches
but without serious injury.
When the dust had cleared sufficiently
to permit the bystanders to see, party
went through the Washington-street door
and with picks began the work OF extri-
eating Wilkinson. He was entirely COW
cred with the wreckage under which he
lay, except his hands and legs, which
were in view. The unfortunate man was
suffering terribly, and his means could
be heard out on the street. He was una
ble to speak to his rescuers, but they
knew he was still alive when they
reached him by his moans. Their head
way in removing the debris was very
slow, aud before they had released him
his moans ceased and he breathed his
last
