WILL DISCUSS PADGETT.
Columbia Union Will Hold an Inter.
esting Meeting Saturday Night.

President Tracy of Columbia Typograph-
ical Union returned last night from Balti-
more, where he went to see the absentee
secretary of the organization, Frank H.
Padgett. He says he found Padgett in
good hands, his wife with him, and his con-
dition possibly improved. The man is still
out of his head, and there was little satis-
faction in trying to talk business matters
with him.
One thing is sure. Padgett will come back
to Washington and face all the music there
is in store for him. and his friends doubt
whether it will be found that he took a
cent of the unions money. The worst,
they say, that will bo found will be a tan
gle of accounts, because of his negligence.
Great faith is shown in Padgett's integ-
rity. Even his worst critics say they
think he got none of the funds, but some
one borrowed of him. 1t is the general
opinion that there will be no prosecution
of Padgett.
There is to be a meeting of the union
Saturday night to discuss the situation.
and a lively three or four hours of speech
making expected AS no report has
been made of the condition Of Padgett's
accounts, and none can be made very
likely, the meeting will have few facts to
go on. 1t has been found that Padgett's s
bond for $1,000 expired four months ago.
and If there is any loss the union will
have to stand it.

The affairs of the Chicago Gas companies

thus far fallen short of the speculative re-

LATE NEWS BY WIRE
Reported Destruction of La Paz,
Lower California.
HURRICANE FOLLOWED BY TIDAL WAVE
Loss Of Life Said to Be
Heavy.
NO DETAILS YET AT HAND

SAN FRANCISCO, October 1O-Priyate
dispatches received here say that La PaZ,
Mexico, has been completely destroyed by
hurricane. The storm was followed by
a tidal wave, the waters in the bay rising
to an unprecedented height, invading hat
portion of the city fronting on the bay. and
carrying out to sea men, animals and de-
bris of wrecked buildings as the tide SUBJ
sided.
The dispatch was dated Guaymas and
was received by Shipping Agent Reuter-.
The dispatch said the steamer Willalette
Valley of the Pacific mail line had been
delayed two days at Guaymas by the same
storm which devastated La Paz, but that
she left Guaymas last night for the north.
Mexicans here say that they have had
dispatches about severe storm which pre-
vailed all along the coast early this week.
The loss of life is reported heavy, but de-
tails of the dis aster are meager.
Careful inquiry among shipping firms in
tereSted in Lower California trade shows
no additional information has been received
in regard to the reported destruction; two
steamers, MaZatlan and Diego, are due in
Guaymas today from the south, and it is
probable they will bring some informat ton
about the matter if they arrive at Guaymas
on time, which appears to be very doubt
full on account of the terrific storm which
has prevailed in the Gulf of California for
some days past.
La Paz Is the capital of Lower California
and situated on a bay of the same name.
The port Is well sheltered and easily de-
fensible against attack from the sea. The
city had population of 5000, q cathedral
government house and a town house, and
the place was once the abode of luxury, as
evidenced by the handsome dwellings of the
wealthy class. La Paz was once the seat of
extensive pearl fisheries, silver mining was
extensively engaged in and the commerce
of the port was not inconsiderable.

HAWAIIAN REvOLTs.

Francisco Writers.

They Arc in the Imagination of San
Francisco Writers.
DENVER, Col, October 10.-F. NJ. Davis,
Honolulu merchant, arrived in Denver
yesterday en- route to Atlanta, Ga. He
said: 'It would, of course, be useless to
deny that factional. differences exist in
Hawaii. and especially in Honolulu. and
the republic as 1t stands has good many
supporters, and I am of the belief that
If the vote on the question of annexation
was taken today there would be an over
whelming expression in favor of 1t.
"As to the royalists," added Mr.. Davis,
1--WE hear very little of them. Occasion
ally we read in the American papers of
some uprising and some deep laid plot to
restore the queen, and we are forced to
laugh over them.
1.-The Americans should use several grains
of salt with anything they may read about
Hawaiian revolutions these days. 1t is a
common saying in Honolulu whenever the
stories so out that San Francisco is again
in the throes of the South sea rebellion
for tho majority of the stories are simply
glittering testimonials to the Imagination
of San Francisco newspaper men. The
queen is not kept in close confinement
and is allowed to drive about pretty much
as she pleases She has her own court
but as for causing trouble, l do not think
she is lacking in common sense, and unless
she is, restoration would be about the last
thing she would attempt. Interest in her
has largely died out, even among the ma
tives."

Of his coat, was found lying unconscious
shortly after O'Clock this afternoon in
judiciary PARK near Is street. He was
taken to the Emergency Hospital in the
police ambulance, and efforts made to re-
vive him. The only clew to his identity
was the name ''W. A. Moore on his linen.
There was also a letter which would indi-
cate that the man had been a clerk in the
general land Office.
Inquiry at the land Office disclosed the
fact that William A. Moore had been en-
ployed there until about two years ago,
when he was transferred to the pension
office
1T was learned later that the man is
William A. Moore of Illinois, n clerk in
the southern division of the pension office,
who resides at 725 Irving street northwest.
He had been on ;hrce days leave of abb
sence and this morning applied for and
was granted three days additional leave.

OPPOSITION TO REVISION.
Futile Attempt to Secure RecOmmft-
ment mt Minneapolis.


MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., October 1O,-The
opponents of constitution revision in the
Episcopal Church showed their hands in
the house of deputies today when Stephen
H. Nash of New York arose and offered a
resolution calling for the commitment of
the constitution to a new revisional COM
mission. 1t was stipulated that all amend
ments before the convention should be re-
ferred, that the commission should report
in the form of definite amendments to the
present constitution.
Louis Stockton of western New York
thereupon asked the ruling of the chair as
to whether this resolution was in order.
DIR. Dix ruled that it was not, since the
present commission had not presented its
full report nor had 1t been discharged from
duty. AS no one was ready to move the
discharge of the present commission, con-
sideration of its report was resumed.
A motion to strike out section 3, which
provides for the Office of 'primate' to be
held by the senior bishop, was defeated
17S to 40.
When section was taken up Judge Fair
banks of Florida moved to amend by re-
deputies from each diocese to the present
| rrmber Of four This was accepted with
practical unanimity.
The deputies spent some time at the
opening of the session in revising its rules.
Buchanan Winthrop was reelected treas
urer OF the convention. e. ..-r..
The house of bishops took up the pro-
posal for the erection of the diocese Of
Marquette, In northern Michigan, which
was favorably voted on by the deputies
yesterday. The bishops voted in favor Of
the division, but appointed a committee of
conference with the deputies to straighten
out some technical difficulties.
The house then went into council on he
subject Of Christianity.

POWERS OF couRrs-MARr1AL.
Must Not Be Allowed to Interfere With
Civil Proceedings.

Assistant Secretary Doe has made a de-
cision that tends to considerably restrict
the powers of military courts-martial He
holds that a soldier on bail for trial by a
civil court may be brought before a court
martial for trial. but the military proceed
ings cannot in any way interfere with the
civil proceedings, and If the result Of the
military trial may be Imprisonment long
enough to cover the time for the mans
trial by the civil court. the military pro-
ceedings must be postponed.
Another decision defines the responsible
ity of captain to his colonel, and it is
held that the regulation making the cap
tain responsible for the theoretical and
practical instruction of his company does
not make hin, independent in that respect
of his colonel, who is responsible for the
captains conduct.

Arrest of Retired omcer..

The ruling that an officer on the retired
list could not be arrested for any offense
not involving punishment by Imprisonment
or death is not understood as inhibiting
the trial of such an officer for minor in
fractions of military regulations. 1t mere
ly holds, in other words, that the actual
presence of the accused officer under ar
rest is not an essential feature of his trial
on proper charges.
If Judge Bradleys decision shall be sus-
tainsd General Schofield's action IN causing
the arrest of Major Armes may prove
serious to him. inasmuch as 1t is generally
understood that Major Ar1nes proposes to
sue him to the amount of $4,000 for false
arrest and imprisonment.
