WILL STAY At STANFORD
DR.. Jordan Would Not Accept a
National Museum Direc-
torship.
Reply of the President to Letters
Hinting That He Could Have
the Position.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Oct.
1A-Dr. Jordan stated this evening that the
dictatorship of the United States National
Museum became vacant month ago by
the sudden death of DR.. G. Brown Goode.
In most regards dictatorship in this in
stitution is the most desirable scientific
position in the country.
1T has not been offered to me-" said the
president of Stanford, though have had
8 number of private unofficial letters ask
ing whether / would accept the position,
if offered. l replied that l could not ac-
cept, as L hope TO remain az stanford as
long as am fit for any position at all"
DR.. Jordan further stated that he would
not leave Stanford for any position what
soeyer. 4 few years ago nothing would
have suited him better tnan such a
position, and his highest ambition was TO
get into that institution; "but now" said
President Jordan, without my students
around me; without their enterprises,
which are also mine; without our foot
bal team, I wouldn't know what TO do"
From the smile which accompanied DR..
Jordan's words, it is plain that in de-
clining to allow his name to 60 in he was
in earnest, and his heart is with Stanford,
where he expects to do his ife's work.

THE INDIANA STORH-TOSS
Ttotent Heather Nearly Ends the Career
of the BaftTe-SAip.

NEW YORK. n. Y, oct. 1.-THE bat
tle-ship Indiana, which arrived to-day
along with the rest of Admiral Bunce's
feet, was badly used up by the storm
which has ragged so violently at sea during
the past few days, and came near the end
of its career.
At 10 o'clock Monday night the Indiana
set up signals to the flagship that the
eight-inch turret in the after battery had
become loose She was plunging about
under reduced steam, the officers bur
dened with the dread that the weight of
steel and iron might at any minute be
heayed over upon and destroy the ship.
Soon after the first signal was displayed
a second was sent up that the 13-inch turret
in the forepart of the ship had also been
ripped from the camps. 1t was spinning
around and its great gun was swinging
viciously back and forth as the vessel
plunged.
On Tuesday, after desperate fight with
the disarranged machinery, the turrets
were fastened with clamps and hawsers.
During all of Monday the ship made only
forty miles. The full injury 10 the tur-
rets had not been ascertaineo tonight.

JoRDAN Is FAVORED.

Could HGre TIE appointment II He Cared
TO accept.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 1.-THE
appointment of a successor to Professor
Brown Goode, deceased, as assistant Sec
retsry of the Smithsonian Institution and
director Of the National Museum will be
considered st the January meeting of the
board of regents of the institution. Direc-
tor Gardner Hubbard admitted tonight
that the name Of Professor David s. Jordan
OF Stanford University had been suggested
by member of the board, and that the
suggestion was favorably received.
It is believed that naturalist viii be
appointed, and Professor Jordan is con-
sidered by eli scientists connected with
the Smithsonian Institution and the Ma
ionsi Museum to be one of the most
scholarly and experienced men who could
ill the position. It is questions bic,
though, whether Professor Jordan would
be willing TO resign his place in Stanford
University. which pays him SO, 600 year,
to accept the dictatorship, whose salary is
enly $500.

Anticipations That the Railroad VIII
Locate Its Factories
There.

The property-owner in South San Fran
cisco who claims to have "tip'' on what
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company
intends doing in the near future are
Fastening to improve the streets in that
locality.
The grading of Railroad avenue from
Eighteenth avenue out to the F1Ve-mlle
House, distance of about two miles. Is
starter in the direction OF making the
southern side of the peninsula opening
into San Mateo County.
When this road is complete it will join
the old San Bruno road al its intersection
at the Five-mile House, thus bringing the
Mission and the south side into more
direct connection with the business por-
ton of the City proper.
In anticipating this the knowing ones
have kept sharp lookout on the
maneuVers of the company, and have no.
ticed gang of men working on tunnel
through the hill at the Five-mile House,
which property belongs to the railroad
company. As Mr.. Huntington and his
agents guard their realty with a very
jealous eye, il is considered hardly pos
sible that the excavators are cutting q
tunnel through the bill for the fun of it.
This movement, together with the pur-
chasing of land along the contem plated
line over aud under which the southern
route Is said to be likely to run, as also
the ownership of the site mentioned for
the supposed shops, leads the people to
believe that South San Francisco has big
future before it

dent Barrios.

Francisco de oieda has returned from
Guatemala with a bullet wound in his
right ankle and q determination that he
will not return there next year to race his
horses.
Oieda is a prominent member of the old
Bay District Track Association and the CAL
ifornia and Pacific Coast Jockey Clubs, and
for the past few years he has been ship
ping part of his stable to Guatemala to
run in the Central American Derby.
With DR.. Ross, who was too well known
here to run without heavy handicap, be
captured the first Derby in Guatemala
some four years ago and year after year
he sent there some horse who carried of
the purse. It got so that the veterans OF
the Central American turf chafed under
repeated defeats in their yearly great
event and jealousy was engendered to an
unusual degree.
The Derby was to be run on the 18th OF
August, and OJeda arrived with his stable
some time early in July. He found that
his main competitor was man named
Schumann, who had two entries against
which no one would start so sure was he
of winning. Oieda, however, had mare
in his stable he was willing 10 enter and
back until few days OF the event, when
he found there was something wrong
about her. He said nothing, however,
and it was not known that only Schu-
mann's horses would run.
On the afternoon of the 18th of August
Ojeda and party of friends were at din.
ner in the Gran Hotel and were discussing
track matters when an individual, who
was subsequently, recognized as the second
secretary to President Barrios, but whose
back was turned to the party, rose and
called Ojeda "Bobosa.n While not an in
suit of very grievous kind. it was sufH-
cient to cause 0ieda to slap the mans
face.
The affair, which at first promised to be
more serious, passed away without any
further ado.
"At 9 O'Clock that night" said Mr.. Oieda,
"l was shot by some unknown person as ]
was walking upstairs to my apartments.
/ never saw who did is, nor do know
whether 1t Is the outcome of nv slapping
the fellows face who insulted me-
There is one thing certain, and that is
have quit racing in Guatemala / sold
all my horses there to President Barrios,
and / will not send any more down there
TO compete for the Derby. I have won ii
often enough TO satisfy me, and if winning
il again involves shooting scrape, or if /

MODESTO, CAL, Oct. L. - Hon. F.
Y. Schoonmaker OF New Jersey, now
stumping California in the interest of Nc
kinley and Hobart, spoke at Modesto to-
night to large audience. He and ex-
Harbor Commissioner ]. F. Bassett of San
Francisco were met az the train by 8 band
and s delegation OF citizens At the
lyman Hotel they met many local poll
tieianS
At to-night's meeting 7. {. Hooking
presided. a double gIee club sang pstri-
otic songs. Schoonmaker devoted two and
8 half hours TO 3 discussion of the
tariff and silver questions. He claimed
the promulgators of free trade policy
were responsible for the woFEiDgman s
position in the United States, the
closing OF factories and the impoverish-
ment Of business generally. Stag
nation in commerce forced the people
OF America to economic TO the extent OF
1S0, ,ooe, 900 bushels of wheat since last
year-two and s half bushels per head.
Those who in 1892 enjoyed plenty TO eat
now considered themselves lucky to get
sufficient bread 10 exist. WhateVe
caused this loss of work, closing OF fac
tories and pinching in supplies had
WORKED the greatest hardSnlps ever put
upon intelligent people, and ii was the
application OF a free-trade policy.
What was the remedy? Did the de-
monetiZation of silver in 1878 or tree trade
in 1892 cause this? The passage Of free
coinage law ct any ratio would not restore
the times of 1892. 1t would not cause the
resumption OF use of wheat TO the extent
of two and half bushels per capita
more, thus allowing wheat-rSisers TO get
higher prices for their wheat, nor would
it opsn home factories. Tariff for protec-
ton was the remedy, and the only one,
declared the speaker.
