The JOURNAL sent out last week a
number of subscription reminders
The responses were quick and numer-
Gus, engorging the great papers small

gree. To each thanks. One, how
ever, was not so prompt, though cheel-

No one can help seeing from the
JOURNALS report that the quality of
its immense constituency, like that of
mercy, is not strained.' 1t comprises
the mental elite of all classes. 1t takes
in the brightest little minds that
sparkle in the schools. embraces whole
families of reading elders, and, as the
tribune of free and independent labor,
it reaches across the heads of the mas
ter workmen and breaches its alien
gospel right in the heart of the assem-
bly,. All these influences, friendly and
nim:cal, in spite Of themselves, it
YIELDS into a sublimated nobility and
decorates as the highest intellectual
peerage of the realm. Suppose all
those volunteer Influences could be
gathered round one board-what a
vast symposium.
But words fail and imagination can
no further presume.

But the Attorneys for the Railroad Com
missioners Will Meet To-Day.
The conference which was to have taken
Board of Railroad Commissioners and the
mem bers of the board, in reference to the
next steps to be taken in the contest with
the Southern Pacific Company, failed to
occur for several reasons. OF the Railroad
Commissioners only one went out to the
Attoruey-General's Office namely: Com
missioner La Rue. DR.. Stanton was sick
and Commissioner Clark was in Stockton.
Attorney General Fitzgerald and Robert
Y Hayne OF counsel for the Railroad Com
missioners met in the Attorney General
office, but~the Attorney-General was ILL,
and consequently w. W. Foote was called
up.
Attorney General fitzgerald said last
night that it was probable that at least
the three attorneys of the Railroad Com
missioners would come together to-day at
his office. Nothing occurred yesterday to
change conditions at all. No steps will
be taken until the several points OF attack
have been thoroughly considered in con-
suItation.
Robert Y. Hayne said yesterday that
naturally Attorney General Fitzgerald
will take the leading part in the proceed
ings to ensue. He could not indicate any
new points.
The fact is, although neither of the at
will talk about it, that points advanced bv
the Attorney General in his argument
before Judge McKenna, and which were
not considered by the court in its decision,
will be strongly urged again in the pro-
ceedingS to enSue.

flight One of the party, an elderly man
and slightly deaf, who seemed to be the
machinist of the ships crew, was ad-
dressed by his companions as Stewart.
oVaIinziano is able to give but slight de-
z scription of the ship, as he was not allowed
to approach closer than fifty feet, but says
it appeared to be easily sixty feet in length
and cigar-shaped, with steering appa-
ratus, the latter being the part on which
repairs were being made.
The ship was constructed of some light
coiored material, and from the vague de-
scription OF the machinery, most of which
is concealed. the motive power is thought
to be electricity.
Large wings, of which there are great
many, we're closely folded against the side

that he is stating facts.

While it is probable they have long since

had suddenly risen 10 great height.
Colonel Chase of the Nadeau denied
having corraled the visitor for private
uses, but had seen the lights overhead,
along with half dozen guests. Judge
W. A. Ryan got peep at the visitor on
his way from dinner, and as q result his
incredulity regarding aerial machines has
been entirely removed.
Managing Editor Creighton OF the
Herald and several members of his staff
saw the interesting machine. Mr.. Creigh-
ton does not undertake to say that what
he saw was an airship and neither does he
dispute that apparent fact.
Conductor Johnson of the university
line saw strange lights overhead and
called the attention of his passengers to
them while his car was at Second street
on Spring. Necks were craned and q
great crowd soon gathered about the car
and enjoyed the sight for several minutes.
The editorial force of the Morning Times
saw the lights and were greatly interested
in the spectacle.

WATERFOWL, Fresno County, CAL,
Nov. %. 1896.
Editor Morning Call, San Francisco, Cal
DEAR SIR: An airship of great magnitude
passed over our town this evening at 8:45.
The light first appeared about ten miles
south of here in the vicinity of Tulare Lake,
and passed directly over the postofice build
ing, which is located near the southwest cor
ner of section 11-19-19, NJ. D. NJ, and disap-
peared to the northward, in the direction OF
Mendoza. The elevation at this point seemed
10 be about 400 feet, although at times 1t ap-
preached much nearer the earth. The light
was intensely brilliant as il approached. Al
ter passing, the form of the shi and the pro-
pelling apparatus was plainly discernible
against the clear sky. Human forms could be
distinctly seen, but no ineligible utterance
could be heard.
We would not hazard an opinion as to the
rate OF speed, but would say not less than ff-
teen miles an hour.
The undersigned are prepared to make oath
to the above statement:

Viewed BY DayIleht.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Dec. 1. = Since
the publication of the airship items from
various portions Of the State in THE CALL
it has leaked out that some of the most
responsible people in this city saw a
strange object in the clouds on the after
noon preceding the first public sight of
the mysterious searchlight in this city.
They claim that this object was at such
an enormous height that they were una.
Bile to plainly distinguish its form, but
also say that when it turned they caught
the CLINT or shine as of metallic object,
and that frequently sheets of paper would
slowly futter earthward as though the
occupants were casting them out for the
purpose of ascertaining whether their
vehicle was approaching or receding from
the earth.

SAW WHITE WATER AHEAD.

Important Testimony Relative to the
Wreck of the San Benito.
The investigation into the loss of the
steamer San Benito was resumed yester-
day before the United States Local In
spectors of Steam Vessels. l. w. Wood,
chief engineer of the wrecked vessel, testi-
fed that on the Gay of the disaster the
steamer was running down the coast from
to II p M at the rate of nifty revolutions.
After II clock the revolutions were in
creased to ffty-seven, or full speed. AT
about that time he was awakened by the
shock, and upon arising he found that the
ship was backing. Shortly after the vessel
broke in two. 1t broke between the en-
CINE and fire rooms, in the coal bunkers.
Ole Simens, a seaman who was on the
lookout, testified that he was on duty at
midnight. The weather was very thick.
Half an hour after he saw white foam
ahead and took it to be tide rip, but he
did not say anything, as the first officer
was also looking at it. The first officer
ordered the man at the wheel to put the
wheel to the starboard. The white water
was dead ahead and short time after
observing it the vessel struck. The swell
and the breakers were heavy and the
weather was thick, with some wind.
Il
about ten minutes after the steamer
struck. He said that he did not see any
breakers before the vessel hit on the rocks.
In his judgme ut the engines were going
ahead at iull speed at the time of tie
disaster.
P. Doran, master of the steamer Po-
mona, described his run up the coast on
that day, and stated that for all he kept
well off the coast while passing Point
Arena and Point-Reyes the current set his
vessel several miles toward the shore.
Thomas L. Foster, the quartermaser of
the San Benito. testified that he took the
wheel at u o'clock, midnight, at which
time the weather was haZy. After de-
scribing the vessels course he told of the
officers command, on seeing the white
foam, 10 put the wheel TO starboard, and
he set 1t off two points. He did not hear
the breakers before she struck.
The case will be resumed to-day.
