Coast Deprs ssiOn.

Capt. A. n. Trip, who is jnst back
from the coast, has made his first trip
to San Francisco from the Islands In
eleven years. The Captain bad not
been away since he brought the steam
er Kaala down for the 1nter-lsland
Company. Capt. Trip says that the
coast country presented itself to him
as greatly depressed Hundreds OF
houses in San Francisco and the si-
burbs and adjoining cities are for sale
and in the country fine ranches may
be had at almost any price. The great
est cause OF hard times up there Is the
continued drought. Capt. Tripp thinks
the country will pick up again with
good rainy season. Max. Schlemmer,
well known here, has bought for a few
hundred dollars a well developed ranch
that was couple of years ago valued
at many thousands.

A TAR'S LETTER.
BaltimOre's Printer Writes From
OF Cavite.

Harry Humphrey. the printer on the
Baltimore, writes from "Om Cavite" to
a friend in the Gazette Company en-
ploy here. Harry is bright and OBJ
servant young man and writer OF
good ability. Speaking OF assault pros
poets before the storming and bonn
bardment, MIR. Humphrey said: II
think the Spaniards will fight like the
Old Nick, as they have the idea that
the Canaries squadron Is very near
Manila. 1t will be a great disappoint-
ment for them to learn that 1t has re-
turned to Spain.
ut will be a happy day for us all
when We hear the German ships in this
harbor salute the American flag as II Is
hOisted over the captured city.
II believe our admiral gave their
senior officer a raking over, as their
ships are not running in and out OF
the harbor as often as before.
Gen. Anderson has been looking
over the field on all sides OF the city,
picking out, guess, a likely place for
attack. He paid visit to village
outside Manila's walls and while TAX
ing observations from church stseple
a shell struck the principal street of
the place, killing three women and two
children"

Will Build a House.

The Y. NJ. G. A. directorate did not
succeed in getting the tent, mentioned
yesterday, for temporary use at Camp
Mckinley and decided last night to
put up frame house there instead, at
once. 1t will be but small affair.
Reading and writing tables will be set
out in front under the trees. The
house can be used to advantage In con-
nection with the permanent tent,
which should arrive in few weeks
from the States. And then il a sep
arate camp is established for through
troops the tent may be required there
instead, leaving the house for the work

BILMARTIN'S SPILL.
His Pace Machines Piled and Bill
Was Hurt.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 1.-THE If
teen-mile match race between John s.
johnson and "Plugger" Bill Martin
saw an ugly spill, caused by one of
Martins triplet teams in taking the
pace, cutting straight down the bank
rather than obliQuely. The quad team
which was pacing Martin at the time
crashed into the triplet. and machine
and riders piled up In a head. Oldfeld,
and riders piled up In heap. Oldfeld,
ly, II not fatally injured.
The accident occurred in the first lap
OF the fifth mile. The men were riding
furiously. with prospects OF making a
record. Johnson was cut and bruised
but gamely pulled himself together and
rode on. Martin was also cut about the
arms and hands and an old wound on
his knee, received on the first day OF
the meet, was reopened. He, too,
mounted and took after Johnson, but
his injuries were too severe, and he
was compelled to quit in the first lap
Of the fourteenth mile,
Johnson, leading, covered the first
mile in 2:13. Martin took the lead in
the second mile and was ahead when
the spill came.
The time for the four miles before
the accident was 7:40 2-5. Martin was
leading at the end OF the thirteenth
mile his time heiup oS.1S Johnsnp's
time for fifteen miles was 2S:55.

An Examiner Imposition.

There has been reproduced in this
paper letter with the signature of w
J. Kenny, Acting British Commissioner
and Vice Consul, giving views on the
transfer of the sovereignty Of Hawaii.
This letter was addressed to the edi-
tor Of the San Francisco Examiner and
was naturally supposed by the Adver-
tser to be genuine. 1t was bogus, a
manufacture. a fake and worse. Mr..
Kenny states that he was not inter-
viewed on the subject by a representa-
tive of the Examiner and certainly did
not write and sign an article.

Improvements, besides special de.
vices Of our own. Endless wires
located within the rubber at high
tension securely hold the rubber in
the channel. The shape of the
rubber and channel prevents the
eide wear and cutting SO common
in mot other tires, while the patent
projecting convex flange effectually
protects the felIoe from injury, be-
sides presenting u neat and tasty
appearance. They cannot come off
or get out Of the channel.

INTEREST RATE REDUCED.

New York, December 6.-At a meet
ing to be held next Monday the trus-
tees of the Bowery Savings Bank will
reduce the rate of interest paid on saw
ings deposits from four to three and a
half per cent. The action is made nee
essary by the plethora of money and
the scarcity of safe investments which
yield a sufficient return to enable the
bank to pay per cent to its deposit
ors. 1t is probable that nearly all the
savings banks in the borough of Man
haitian will have to lower their rates.
The banks are lending on call in Wall
street at from one and half to two
and a half per cent and the big insur-
ance companies with their vast surplus
are making loans which formerly
sought the savings banks as low as
two per cent.

MORGANTOWN NOTES.

Special to the Register.
Morgantown, W. Va, December g.
AS Harry Blair was coming up street
this morning he was hit by piece of
, plate glass which had been blown by
the high wind from the third story of
building on Main street The glass
! went one hundred yards before it hit
him. He received eleven cuts from
the glass, which shattered to pieces
when it struck him. The cuts were
ON the face, neck and arms. No large
blood vessels were cut and he Will
likely recover. The wind did a great
deal of damage, especially in the cOun-
try districts, where it was very high.
Trees are down everywhere and the
telephone and telegraph wires are
down in every direction. A number
of windows in town were blown out.
Cars occupied by railroad workmen
in South Morgantown were entered
this morning and one hundred dollars
worth of property taken. The goods
consisted of overcoats, trousers, re-
vOlvers and watches.
A man representing himself to have
been an agent of some kind entered a
house in Seneca this morning, and
after showing his goods to the lady OF
the house made a SALE She went out
of the room to get the money, and he
skipped with several valuable rings,
among them a diamond, which were
lying on a dresser in the room.
Unless there is a change in condi
tons, the annual military ball, which
has been a feature of the University
social life, will have to be held down
town, as it is impossible to get per-
mission to use one of the buildings at
the University President Raymond
is opposed to dancing, and he has for
hidden students the use of the gymnas
ium for their bi-weekly dances which
have been given for several years.
They are now given at the Wallace
House and are much more elaborate
than when given in the gymnasium.

Stoc1s-Fractional gains throughout
the list were the result of to-day's
trading. The decided strength of the
early market in sympathy with Lon
don's improved prices and London
was a small purchaser on balances.
Profit taking at the time checked the
advance in the afternoon with quota
lions generally well maintained. Sugar,
after an early advance, sold off as
usual on the announcement OF the reg
ular dividend disbursement. The
transactions in this specially were
very large and covering OF shorts
brought about full recovery to the best
advance of the day, leaving the price
a point below yesterday. The feature
