SAN DIEGO, July 27.-The schooner
Wahlberg, which sailed from this port
on March Sd on a scientific expedition
for the Smithsonian Institution ana
Stanford University, arrived in port at
noon to-day. The crew consisted or
Captain Fred Anthony, H. Kea1ng, ID.
McGregor, a Stanford student; Al
Stockton W. E Goodman of Pacific
Beach, and a Stanford University Pro-
fessor, who was left at San Jose Del
Cabo on the way down, as he could
not endure the hardshfps of the voyage.
The Wahlberg brings back five tons
of rare and curious deep sea shells, four
barrels of deep sea fish, specially pack
ed by McGregor for Professor Jordan,
and many beautiful specimens pre-
served by McGregor of Stanford.
On her return up the coast the Wahl-
berg stopped at Natividad, where she
found four San Diegans who had been
left at Cedros Island by the junk Hong
kong eight months before, and had been
taken to Nativadad by a schooner,
with the expectations of returning by
another schooner to San Diego. The
men were nearly famished for want of
water, and the timely arrival of the
Wahlberg undoubtedly saved their
lives. They are ex-Sergeant Sanford,
Private Connors of Company H, Jack
Dampier and Bill Andrews, sailors.

ARMOR PLATE.
The Government May be Compelled
to Establish a Plant.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The armor
producing companies having declined
to furnish the Navy Department the
armor needed for the three battleships
now building at the price of $500 per
ton. fixed by Congress, Secretary Long
has taken the 4econd step in the line
marked out by Congress, and has
called upon the shipbuilding companies
themselves to submit proposals for
procuring and fitting the armor- one
of them. the Union Iron Works of San
Francisco, has already responded, de-
clining the departments invitation.
There is little doubt that the others
VIII make a like answer, although a
small chance that some of the ship
builders may combine to secure the
control of one of the plants which the
armOr makers profess their readiness
to sell. and turn out the armor they
need for the ships on their hands. If,
however, as is expected, all of the ship
builders replies are unfavOrable, Sec
retary Long will proceed one step
further. and appoint a board of officers
to carry out the direction of Congress
and frame a plan for the establish
ment of a Government armor plant.

kers, n. Y, this afternoon destroyed
two large factory buildings occupied
by w A. Reed & Co., Rowland Broth
ers, hat manufacturers; Pass Broth
ers, silk manufacturers, and the Yon-
kers Silk Company. The loss will
probably reach 500, 900, and 500 peo-
pie are thrown out of work.
When the alarm was given there
were 600 men and girls in the building,
the third, fourth and fifth floors OF
which were occupied by the silk fac
tories. Great excitement prevailed
while the employees left the building by
the fire escapes, the girls being taken
out first, and all losing their street
clothes. so little time was given.
Just across the street from the build
ing in which the fire started are the
big works of Alex Smith & Sons, the
largest carpet manufacturers in the
United States. For some time it look
ed as if these would go. Two thous-
and persons We're at work in the car

The lowest estimate of the loss is
S400, 600, and others run as high as
$500, 600 Reed & Co. place their loss
roughly at $50 900 Rowland Broth
ers, Bass Brothers and the YOnkers
Silk Company are set down for $4,000
each. The loss on the two buildings,
totally destroyed, is estimated at S24O,-

CONFERENCE POSTPONED
Stomach Cleaning.

Stomach cleaning companies may
soon be organized on the same plan
that window cleaning companies now
operate in our cities, writes George B.
Waldron in the Illustrated American"
The work of purifying that all-import
ant organ is done by means of an in
sltrument called a gyromele, which con-
sists Of a small sponge attached to a
spiral steel wire cable inclosed in
tube The patient swallows the sponge
and a portion of the cable The turn
ing of the cable causes the sponge to
revolve at such speed as may be de-
sired. BY pushing or pulling the cable
various portions of the inner wall of
the stomach may be operated upon.
DR.. Turck has introduced a new ele-
r11ent into the process in Edison's
Horoscope. This instrument he puts
to his eyes and by means of the X-rays
is able to follow the progress of the
sponge along the wall of the stomach
and to direct the operation. Strangely
enough, the process caused no discom-
fort to the patient, though it was con-
tinued for more than an hour.

the decline of recent date the lowest
prices were those of March Sd and >,
1894, at the time of the closing of the
Indian mints. The opening quotations
to-day were: Bar silver, 5S1ac; Mexi-
can dollars, 457kc; and the closing 5S14c
and 45Ac respectively. The local deal
ers can assign no other reason than lack
of demand. There being no special
orders for silver for any European coun-
try for mintage, and India not being in
the market, they regard the fall as nat
url.

cablegram to-day has the following:
The fall in silver is exciting much in

mainly from American selling, but the

CITY OF MEXICO, July 27.-The drop
in silver announced to-day created much
comment here in financial and business
circles. If silver remains down, the loss
to corporations having gold interest TO
meet abroad will be large, and at the
present basis gold interest on Govern
ment loans abroad will require a mill
ion dollars more in silver per annun.
Many orders for goods abroad have been
cancelled, merchants desiring to see now
the exchange is going. 1t is generally
believed that the sudden fall in silver Is
due to the unloading by large bullion
holders, coupled with new gold d1scoV-
cries and the continued small demand
in India for silver
