Fortunately No Fatalities Have Been
Reported.
Opening Day of the Pacific Coast

Francisc0-SensationaI Lawsuit at
Portland, Oregon.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-The
tidal wave which recently visited the
Northern Provinces of Japan with dis
astrous results was also felt in the Ha-
waiian Islands. At many ports the
wharves were badly DANA ged and small
craft wrecked, but fortunately there
were no fatalities.
The Honolulu correspondent of the
United Press, writing under date OF
June Goth, says: "A succession of
heavy tidal waves struck the western
side Of the island of Hawaii on the 10Th
doing much damage to property, but
causing no loss of life. The first wave
struck Kawaihee at SIS a. M, demol-
fishing the wharf KailIaua, thirty miles
south, at $50, destroying lumber yards
and flooding the lower floor of Miss
Paris hotel.
After damaging various wharves and
landings on the Kona coast, the tides
rounded the south point, striking the
Kau landings at $40 a. m, but did little
damage.
Hiio was reached at 10 a. M, the
water rising only eight feet, without
serious damage being done.
In bays on the Kona coast the sea
came up to points twenty and thirty
miles above mean tides. The tides con-
tinued to come in all day at half hour
intervals of ebb and flow.
Altogether, the indications are that
these waves came from the northwest.
Honolulu harbor experienced them by
slight effect. AT the narrow head of the
harbor there was an alarming success
sion of deep ebbs and flows every half
hour At the harbors on the east side
OF Kauai the sea ebbed and flowed so as
to seriously n1olest vessels and boats.
No satisfactory theory is mooted as
to the location of the terrestrial con-
vulsion causing these waves. 1t Is
supposed to lie in northwest direction,
possibly Japan.

Opening Day of the Trotting-Horse

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-The

convicted of manslaughter, was to-day
sentenced by Judge Stephens to fifteen
years Of penal servitude and to pay $500

Stephens would give him more than

Baxter has friends who will try and

In forty-eight hours the cheeses be-

coarse cloth. In the course of another
two days the fungus will appear on the
outside in the form of a sticky paste.
This is carefully scraped off with knives,
together with a thin stratum of crust,
and set aside for food.
The cheeseS are now sorted out, the
most solid ones being placed on the floor.
In eight days time they become covered
with a yellowish-red mold, together
with other minute vegetation, which is
removed and given to the pigs. The
scraping is continued until the charac-
ter of the mold changes, showing that
the curd has altered its condition and
announcing the completion of the cure.
Then they are again carefully scraped
and wiped and wrapped in tinfoil and
are ready for the market.
RoQuefort cheeses have been cured for
centuries by this process and stand as a

PROGRESSIVE SAN DIEGANS.
Crushing Defeat of Silurians in the
Southern CITY.

SAN DIEGO, June 27.-This city to-
night is in the possession of howllng
mob The election held to-day resulted
in crushing defeat for the silurians
and the triumph of progressive men
who are building up this county. San
Diego voted by a large majority over
the necessary two-thirds to build new
water system at the cost of S1,oO0,OOO,
giving the city 1000 inches of water
from the mountains and a new distrib-
uting system.
The voting of bonds in this amount
means the construction of a system in
addition to that of the city, but auxil-
iary to ii, for the irrigation of 10000
acres of land in the country adjacent
to the ci.y-the finest lemon land in the
: United States-and which will jump in
value from SO per acre in its present
+ sagebrush state to 500 per acre with
water
The total cost of the system, includ-
ing the city's share, is estimated at 3d.
100000, and over 1000 inches of water
will be developed. The city gets the
sole ownership of the magnificent Mo-
rena dam, the finest in Southern Cali
fornia, the conduit to the city and the
distributing system in the city.
z. S. Babcock, the founder of Coro-
nado, and partner Of ]. d. and A B.

great enterprise. The populace has
gone wild, and bonfires, bombs and
brass bands held forth on the Plaza

at the conference.
Said he, ut was decided at the Cleye.

kinley does not get the nomination at st
Louis, or If getting it, he is defeated at
the polls, he will be the next United
states senator from Ohio in case the re-
publicans have control Of the general as.
sembly, when the selection is made. The
possibility of McKinley's defeat was dis
oussed frankly and II was suggested that
while an agreement was being fixed up
1t might as well be made to extend
further in the future than next fall.
This met the approval Of the represen-
tatives Of both sides. Then it was sug-
gested tina in case Mckinley was made
president, 1t would he the proper thing to
have Bushnell in the senate. That was
satisfactory all around, and mutual
pledges were exchanged. Following this
came the suggestion that after all Nc
kinley might not be the next president,
in which case 1t would be necessary to
change the Bushnell program. He was
then cited upon for Shermans successor.
