TEXAS FEVER IN CATTLE DROVES Large Band Condemned
 at Hanford. SHIPMENT EAST PREVENTED TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND IN
 THE BUNCH. Government Inspector Refuses to AL low Stock to Be Sent Out
 of the State From
 That Section.
SHIPMENT EAST PREVENTED
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND IN
 THE BUNCH.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, Aug. 8.-The Government has refused to allow stock from this part of the State to be shipped out of California on account of the prevalence of Texas fever among the herds.
 To-day Carey Brothers, Omaha buy CTS of cattle, had 25,000 head of stock condemned at Hanford by pr. c. H. Blemer, chief Government inspector for California Not all the animals were affected nor even a small part of the band, but the disease was found in a number of them and hence the whole band was condemned. The inspector would not allow apparently we'll ones to be segregated from feverish cattle and shipped on, for the reason that they had been exposed to the disease and he feared they might develop 1t en route.
 Had Carey Brothers bought the stock internationally they would have lost between $25, 900 and $50,000 on the deal, but they purchased it on condition that 1t would pass inspection by the Govern ment authorities. The large band is now at Hanford, whfther 1t had been shipped to board cars for Omaha, but it will have to be taken now by it's former owners.

ADVENTURE AT SAUSALIT0
YACHTsMAN SAVES TWO YOUNG
 WOMEN.
Assistance Reaches Him Just as He Is About to Sink Into the Waters of the
 Bay.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAUSALITO, Aug. s.-"Thank God we are safe! A million dollars would not tempt me to undergo the experi- ence again.
 It was Miss 1Alice Hagerrnan, a we'll known metropolitan belle, who breathed this fervent prayer of gratitude. She stood on the wharf of the San Francis co Yacht Club house in company with two companions-Arthur D. Naylor, a bank clerk, and Miss Sullivan. All were dripping wet from an involuntary bath in the waters of the bay, for theirs was as narrow an escape from death as ever was recorded
 The two ladies have been passing few days In Sausalito. Yesterday they took long sail on the yacht Twilight, owned by Naylor. They returned and anchored their craft early in the even ing. About o'clock one of the young ladies remembered an article left on board and -laylor roWed them out to get it. AS they were about to return Miss Hagerman, who was the last to leave the yacht, stepped on the gun vale of the skiff. The frail craft cap sized and plunged all three into the water.

 skiff. With great presence of mind he instructed the terror stricken girls to hold on to his shoulders and started to swim for the yacht Wil-o'- the Wisp. He had nearly covered the distance, fully one hundred yards, when Miss Sullivan's fright caused her to grasp him around the neck, nearly strangling the athletic swimmer. He managed to release her hold and catching the girl by an arm covered the remaining dis tance, swimming with one arm. Secur- ing a grip on the stern of the yacht Naylor yelled for help.
 Matthias Lang, steward at the San Francisco Yacht Club house, heard the cries and set out to the rescue. It was so dark as almost to render objects un- discerntble and as Naylor's cries grew fainter through exhaustion Lang had a hard task to discover the unfortunate party. The rescue was accomplished just as Naylor's fingers were slipping from their hold through sheer exhaus- tion.

''If We Were One In Aims and Ob- iects No Foreign Nation Would Dare to Fire Shot With

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Hiram s. Maxim, inventor of the Maxim gun and a staunch American, has received a letter from Lord Wolseley, commander of the British army, who expresses the warmest advocacy of a close union be- tween the United States and Great Britain.
 MT. Maxim arrived from England last Saturday. He says everywhere he found the greatest enthusiasm when the project of a union of the branches of the Anglo-Saxon race was men toned. The inventor has begun a campaign for a unity of the race on his own account. It was in reply to a communication from him advocating his cherished plan that Lord Wolseley wrote this letter, copy of which, with the permission of the English com mander, Mir Maxim has given to The Call. The letter is as follows:
 War Office, London, s. W.-Dear MT. Maxim: Your letter of the 18th inst. is intensely interesting to me, and I fully indorse all you say about the absolute necessity of the closest possible union between all sections of the Anglo Saxon race. If We two nations-Great Britain and the United States-Were one in their aims and objects and de- manded that peace on earth which in- sures good will among men, no foreign nation would dare fire a shot without our leave.
 'I am sending on your letter to be read by others, for I think your pro- posed campaign would be worth to us far more than dozen Wei-Hai-WeiS or Soudans, and to you more than Cuba, Manila and the whole kingdom of Ferdinand and Isabella thrown in. will let you know by and by. With very kind regards to you and Mrs. Maxim believe me to be yours,
