not dampened and in O short time the
streets we're again thronged. and OF the

the occasion. The speeches were short.
but excellent. suited to the occasion. and
were received with rounds OF applause.
Captain j. B. O'Brien presided.
Among the speakers were men from
every State, and so great was the en-
thusiasm Of the vast audience which
hacked the Auditorium that It was after
G o'clock before the last speech was
made. and the last note of a southern
melody floated out, telling those who
could not get into the building that the
Joyous and successful jubilee was ended.
Tonight the same vast throng wit

occasion. and listened TO the rendering
of another southern programme by In

While old Confederate flags. regimenta

OF THE TRITON'S CREW
FoRTY-oNE ARE BROUGHT BACK
TO HAVANA
Lives Lost Thought to Number Hun
dred and Fifty-All the Women
Drowned

HAVANA, Oct. 1.-THE gunboat
yesterday for the scene of the wreck Of
the coasting steamer Triton, bound from
Havana to Bahia Honda, Pinar del Rio,
which sank yesterday morning between
Dominica and Mariel, has returned, ac-
companied by the tugboat Surf, which
went with her. The vessels arrived
here at / o'clock this afternoon, the gun
boat having on board 10 and the tugboat
23 of the members of the lost ships
company, of which thirteen are civilians
and soldiers. The. whereabouts Of the
others OF the company is unknown. The
Triton struck the rock during heavy
rain storm Her cargo shifted, and fit
teen minutes later she sank in 120
fathoms of water. A scene of terrible
confusion and panic ensued as soon as
the passengers realized the meaning OF
the crash. In a wild struggle they
rushed for the boats. The first boat
that was lowered capsized Immediately,
and all of it's occupants were drowned in
| the whirling waters. The next was
struck by an enormous wave and turned
craft righted again, and eight who had
been thrown out regained 1t. Some were
good swimmers, and kept themselves
afloat for hours; others floated for about
twenty-f four hours on planks. Four
soldiers on planks, whom the strong cur
rents carried east of Havana, opposite
Moro Castel were saved by a pilot
boat going toward Cardenas.
| They declare that last evening there
were many others near them on planks
but when this morning came all these
I had disappeared. Some Of them prob
| ably became food for sharks.
Those who were rescued tell heart
rending stories of the scenes during the
| terrible quarter of an hour before the
Triton sank. An army captain, wife
and daughter went down together, lock-
| ed in a last embrace. A mother with
twins fifteen months old drifted help
lessly away on the crest of great wave.
All the other ladies and children were
drowned.
| Just as the Triton was sinking Cap
| tain Rickardo, her captain, committed q
suicide by shooting himself with his
| revolver.
1t is impossible to give the exact num-
| ber Of those who were lost, but 1t is esti-
mated that there were no less than $50
No passenger list has been found. The
vessel, which carried a general cargo
was not insured.
| The forty-two rescued persons suffered
severely from exposure. All Of them
were more or less bruised, and many of
them badly wounded.

EVERY PRECAUTI0N IS TAKEN
TO PREVENT A LODGEMENT IN
CALIFORNIA
Quarantine officers and Railroad Men
Unite to Head Of the Mexican
Orange Worm
Associated Press Special Wire.

SACRAMENTO Oct. 17.-Of late there
has been considerable discussion as to
the probable introduction of the Mexi-
can orange worm into this state. The
state board of agriculture has taken all
precautions possible to prevent it's in
PRODUCTION. All shipments of fruit ar
irving in this state will be thoroughly
inspected before being admitted and If
any fruit should be found, to be infected
by this pest 1t will be promptly de-
stroyed.
The quarantine officer Of the state
board of horticulture, Alexander Craw,
has been instructed to take every pre-
caution to prevent the Introduction of
this pest, and William Sproule, assist
ant general freight agent of the South
ern Pacific company, has agreed to CO.
operate with the board as far as legal
requirements will permit. This pest, the
scientific name of which is trypeta lu-
dens, has not yet secured lodgment in
California
The California insect is the larva OF a
small tortricid moth, and not one orange
in a thousand is attacked by it. 1t only
pierces the rind and. never enters the
pulp. The Mexican orange worm is the
larva of fly and eEters the pulp.
The Mexican orange worm is report
ed to be confined to two states south of
the City Of Mexico In answer to a tel
egram sent to DR.. L. o. Howard, United
States entomologist, by the quarantine
officer, asking if this pest is known TO
exist in any other state in Mexico, DIR.
Howard replied: "No certain knowledge
except as to Moreles and Puebla, but
must occur elsewhere; investigating ng
now" Both these states are south and
southeast of the City of Mexico and ad-
join each other.
Mr.. Sproule said that no oranges have
been brought to California by rail for
two or three years past, and those only
from the extreme northwestern part of
Sonora. Mexican oranges are shipped
to Chicago and other northern cities
from the end of October until December
or January. and go by way of Eagle
Pass or Ell Paso. Texas.
The general freight and passenger
agent of the Mexican Central railway
has been communicated with by the
state board of horticulture, requesting
him to notify Mexican shippers not tc
make shipments of citrus fruits to any
point in California for in the event Of
the fruit being infected with the Mexi-
can orange worm will be Immediately
| destroyed by the horticultural quaran-
tine officer and that such notification
will prevent any misunderstanding anc
loss to his patrons.

A struggle ensued and Riordan re-
ceived two more wounds. The police
suspect that the cuts were inflicted by a
notorious character known as "Mys-
terry"
Riordan, when taken to the hospital,
gave his name as Thomas Reynolds.
He afterward admitted that he hae
givey1 an assumed name. The wounded
man is we'll known in Sacramento,

THE NEW YORK ISSUES
AS OUTLINED BY EX-PRESIDENT
HARRISON
Benny Is Right in His Belief Tha'
Free Silver Cuts Too Much
Ice This Season

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-In an interview
with Murat Halstead tonight, Former
President Harrison said: Il have been
watching the campaign in New York
with increasing interest. The issue
seems to me to be whe ther you shall have
any issues-the Citizens union holding
the negative, and the Republicans the
affirmative.
"There is great force in the suggestion
that ordinarily a city election ought tc
turn on questions of city administra
ton, but there are national questions
that Will not be ignored. The men who
voted for Mckinley in 1S96-whet ether Re-
publicans or Gold Democrats-will not
fail to inquire how the candidates for
mayor of Greater New York stand upon
the question, whether public and pri-
vate debts are to be paid at forty cents
on the dollar and whether the just pow
ers of the courts are to be- upheld against
the assaults of the mob. They will want
to know further whether a particular
election is going to scatter or weaken the
forces that won these issues in 1896
New York mayor, they will think, ought
not to be repudiationist or friend OF
the mob.
"It is folly to say that the st. Louis
platform is not an issue, and that this
business men Of this Greater New York
are not to take account of the influences
the election may have in the further
fight that is to be made before the ad
vocates Of reputation and disorder are
dispersed. Good local purposes ant
management are not the worse for be
ing associated with good national pur
poses and measures. Business mer
have not forgotten that the Republica,
party met these grave and threatening
issues boldly, and offered a rallyinf
point to the Democrats who had beel
overwhelmed in their own convention
What has the Republican party don,
since to forfeit the confidence Of thos,
who voted its ticket in 1882"

THE STATE LEAGUE
SACRAMENTO, Oct. 17.-Over 1000
people saw the Reliance club of Oak
land defeat the Gilt Edge baseball team
at Snowflake park today by a score of
s to 5. The game was one of the best
played here this season, and while there
was a sprinkling of costly errors many
of the individual plays were of a phe-
nomenal order.
Van Haltren and Stanley filled the
points for the Reliance team and Harvey
and Farrell did likewise for the Brewers.
Van Haltren after the first three in
nings settled down and pitched, splen-
did game, and Stanley work behind the
bat is seldom equaled for sureness and
efficiency. Farrells hands were sore
and he could not hold Harvey delivery.
Neither pitcher was hard hit and the
Reliance club won out by superior base
running. Riley at short made two costly
errors and was jollied by the crowd.
The feature of the game was Lange's
phenomenal work at third base, where
ne accepted a dozen chances without
a break. Lockhead for the home team
played a great game at short. Score:
Gilt Edges-Runs 5, basehits 8, err
rors 5.
Reliance-Runs s, basehits 9, errors 5.
San Francisco-At Central park to-
day the Santa Clara college team de-
feated the VIII 6 Fincks by a score of
I to a. The Will & Fincks owe their de-
feat to their carnival of errors in the
first inning, which netted the visitors
three runs The home team tied the
score in the third inning and added one
more in the fourth, and had an excel
| lent chance to bat out a victory, but
their hopes persisted when Pitcher Doyle
substituted Steffani in the fifth inning.
Doyle managed TO hold them down to
one hit for the balance Of the game.
Knell pitched good game for the local
boys, but his support at critical mo-
ments was very ragged.
Four thousand people Witnessed the
baseball game today at Recreation park.
The competing teams were the Stock
tons and the Olympics of this city. The
feature of the game was the pitching OF
Harper, who has just arrived from the
east. He held the local team down to
three hits. The score was to in favor
of Stockton.
