CALL MONEY GOES WAY UP.
Starts In at Ton Per Cent and Winds
 Up at One Hundred.


 NEW YORK. Oct 30 Bullion dealers report big demand for cash gold yes terday and rates have advanced SIG to IA to 3-8 per cent. Calls on gold are unchanged at per cent for 50 days and lii per cent for the balance of the year. Stock values receded shortly af- ter midday on free offerings for both accounts induced by apprehension as to the monetary situation Gall funds rose to 30 per cent, but there were no large transactions above recent ruling figures and this figure was attained solely by bidding up by traders anticipation and marked demand in the next few days, and for effect on stock specu- lations.
 The first loan was made at 10 per cent and the rate then jumped to 15 per cent and about noon broker, who wanted money was compelled to bid the rate up to 50 per cent before he could secure the required accommoda- ton. The price continued to rise until at 2:45 p. m. call money was 100 per cent and i'll brisk demand. The last loan was made at 80 per cent.

STOOD THE TEST WELL.
Battleship Massachusetts Fully Satisfied
 the Inspection Board.

the Inspection Board.
 NEW YORK, Oct 50.-The new battle ship Massachusetts reached her old anchorage off Tompkinsville, S. l., last night, having emerged successfully from the many tests made by the test experts. Her guns and their mount ings stood the shock of full service charges, which were fired at various angles and elevations; her maneuver- ing qualities were satisfactory to a high degree, and when it came to drilling the crew, the men showed the high de- gree of excellence to which they have been brought by Gaptaia9Frad Rodgers and his executive officer Lieutenant Commander c. H. Arnold.
 The board of inspection boarded the vessel at Hampton Roads week ago, and for the next AS hours the vessel was kept maneuvering. During the fore noon of the first day out the board learned the ships tactical diameter, ' by which is meant the diameter of the circle in which the vessel can turn. This is good thing for her officers to know-according to their way of think ing-a good thing to keep from the pub lio. But that fact prevented them from giving any details on the matter.
 Then the crew was put through all the drills which bluejaekets are heir to. They had clearing of ship for action, general quarters and fire quarters. Then there was a call to abandon ship" which showed how quickly all the men could get away from the ship in case of need
 At the cry of man overheard. {" a life buoy was rescued in fine style, and then to give touch of realism, man named John Sheehan fell overheard in earnest. He did not mean to do it, but lifeline played trick on him and he pumped backward into the sea when the ship was steaming at 13-knot gait. Buoys were flung overheard, the en- zines were stopped and reversed and a lifebeat was on the way to the rescue almost before the 0an had time to re- alize that he was overheard. He was back on board in just 3 minutes and 10 seconds.
 After the completion of the trial the battleship went to Hampton Roads, where the board was landed.

That most dreadful of all diseases, consumption, is 6 disease of the blood The disease shows i'll the lungs because of some inherited or acquired weak ness there. If the blood were always pure and without germs, the disease would never develop and4in time weakness itself would be overcome. Germs and impurities in the blood float along through the body until they find weak spot for Judgement. They stick there and develop and people call the disease by the name of the organ afflicted. As matter of fact, the disease is always disease of the blood, and if the blood be purified the disease will be cured. That IS perfectly natural, rational conclusion, en- dorsed both by common sease and the highest medical authority.

The first thing it does is to put the whole diges- tive system into perfect ordcr It stinu- lates the appetite, excites the copious secre- ton of the digestive fluids aud promotes assimilation.

The Examiner Tournament Is Nearing
Its Conclusion.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 17.-Portland
was visited with a surprise today that
will always be considered as the revival
of baseball in Portland. Never, even in
the days of professional ball in Port
land, was there as much interest taken
in ball game as was shown today by
the noise, the anxious anticipation and
the general expectancy of the surging
crowds that clamored around the gates,
long before the game was called. The
contestants We're j. D. Meyers Mono
grams and the Tacoma -Four Spots.
The Monograms won and much of the
glory and credit for the victory belongs
to Nash, the southpaw twirler. For the
Tacoma -Four Spots, Smith, the pitcher,
played the best game. His playing was
the feature of the whole game.
The -Four Spots manager, w. II. Dos
sett, writes to the San Francisco Exam
iner: I'VE, the members of the Tacoma

EZETA AGAIN
The Refugee President Goes to Oakland
to Reside

OAKLAND, Oct. 17.--General Carlos Eze-
ia, the refugee president of Salvador, has
taken up his residence in Oakland. He
arrived here yesterday and his wife, with
the four girls, will join him tomorrow.
They come directly from Guatamala and
will make their home here. Ezeta ad-
mitted that his plans were to return to
his native home and establish his rights
as soon as the opportunity offered, but as
to any claims for recognition as the head
of the government, he has no hopes.
Ezeta is in possession of private dis
patches to the effect that Rafale Lopez,
minister from Salvador to Mexico, Is in
San Francisco to shadow him. Lopez is
supposed to have arrived today.
In speaking of the advent of Lopez Eze-
ia said:
'If he is here to try to assassinate me, as
some of the hired murderers have tried to
do, will make 1t hot for him. I would
not notice the man, for he is far beneath
my contempt, but / am nevertheless on my
guard"
Ezeta says that the reports of a complete
consolidation of the republics in Central
America are erroneous. From correspon-
dence received by him he gathers that only
the states of Honduras, Salvador and Mica
ragua are combined for mutual protection,
while Guatemala and Cocta Rca are
standing in independence.
Carlos is very positive that assassins are
on his trail. He wants to live in retire.

A CHINESE WAR.
San Francisco Highbinders Are Polish
ing Their Knives.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 1.-THE high
binders of the Chinese colony in this
city are waiting for relaxation of po-
lice vigilance to inaugurate reign of
terror. The Chinatown police squad has
been so largely increased of late that
the highbinders are afraid to take any
openly concerted action, but many muir
derous plans are said to be on foot as a
result of the efforts of the Chinese con-
sui to breakup the See Yups, reputed to
be the most desperate of the highbind-
ers.
The presidents and vice-presidents of
the four companies comprising the See
Yup society are reported to be in hid
ing, having learned that their death
warrants have been signed by the high
binders of their society and that assas-
sins have been assigned to the work of
killing the officers. The highbinders ac-
cuse their officers of treachery in hav-
ing signed a treaty Of peace with the
officers of opposing societies, pursuant
to orders from the Chinese minister at
Washington. The highbinders also
charge their presidents with the embeZ-
element of See Yup funds. The Chinese
are furious at the consul for the destruc-
tion of highbinder rooms and josses. The
See Yups this afternoon obtained an in
junction from the superior court to pre-
vent further consular demolition, but a
swifter vengeance than mere legal re-
dress is desired by the enraged high
binders, who have been engaged in fac
tional strife for the past two years.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17-On the
last trip of the Pacific coast steamship
Orizaba up the Gulf of California the Of
ficers and crew of the vessel were sur
prised to find one of the ports they make
regularly wiped off the earth. When
the ship reached the mouth of the River
Culiacan, in the state Of Sinaloa, the
little mining town of Altata, which had
stood there on the Orizaba's last voyage,
was gone. Not building was left stand
ing.
This was one of the results of the ter
rible storm which played havoc on the
mainland coast of the gulf September
18th and 18th. The Orizaba today
brought the first details, which give
comprehensive idea of the extent of
damage done.
The storm was sort of composite
affair, partal1ing Of the nature of a
tidal wave, cloudburst and chubasco, as
the hurricane is called in Mexican Span
ish. Torrents rushed down from the
hills back fAltata and met the tidal
wave carried in from the sea and the
town was obliterated. Many of the mines
located inland from the coast We're
flooded by the cloudbursts. Fortunately
the loss of life was slight and the AL
tatans are now camping in tents or rude
ly constructed huts little back of where
the town stood.
Viewing the former site of Altata from
the gulf, the most striking objects that
meet the view are the spars of the
schooners Cometa and Rebecca and the
German barkentine Helena, which were
beached by the great wave.
At Mazatlan, further up the gulf, a
most remarkable result of the storm is
observed. In the middle of the main
street of Mazatlan, more than a block
from the waters edge, sits a schooner on
even keel She rode in on the tidal wave
and when it receded was left high and
dry. Mazatlan stood the storm fairly
well, but much damage was done. -Four
German barks that were so fortunate
as to be well off land. weathered the
storm on the gulf outside. They made
port two days after the fury of the ele-
ments had subsidized minus all their cam
vas.
The San Vicente mine, situated q
mile to the rear Of Mazatlan, was flood
ed to the surface by the cloudburst.
So far as Altata is concerned it is no
new thing for itself to find itself off the
map. This is the third time the town
has been swallowed up by the sea.Twice
the place has been rebuilt, each time at
q point further up the Culiacan river.
This time the residents will build well
in from the coast, it is said.
