about the only progressive and fearless
managers left in the minstrel business,
they are practically the possessors of
the field. In the present instance they
promise us the best and largest COM
pany they have ever brought to the
Coast, and one, indeed, that they boldly
claim to be the best and generally most
satisfying that under any management
has come to California. With this in
view they have secured those come
dams whose specialties are always up
to date and singers who keep abreast
of the times in the musical world. The
long list of artists engaged includes the
names of such well known people as
George Wilson, the popular comedian,
in an entirely new monologue; E. NJ
Hall, the eccentric comedian; Manuel
Romano in new song, Waterbury broth
ers and Tenney, Quaker City Quartet,
the marvellous Seymours." and many
the best black face comedians, will con-
tribute an entirely new speciality. The
first part is described as a wonderful
conception in dressing, scenic effects
and general makeup, while the whole
performance WILL no doubt, prove the
most satisfactory one yet presented by
this firm. Special prices prevail for the
matinee to-day.

These will be the last opportunities to
see Webb and Hassan, the most grace

their clever comedy, Smith and Cook,
the tramp comedians and acrobats, and
Wood, the monologist.

The price situation this week is no
table in showing that decreases Were
more numerous than for some time
past. This, of course, includes many
lines in which speculation plays a
marked part. The passing of the cold
wave, with little or no reported dam
age to the growing winter wheat, coup
led with the forward movement of ag-
ricultural matters and the anticipated
high acreage in spring wheat, is cred
tied with much of the depressing in
1iuence manifested in cereals this week
Aiding this, of course, is the discour-
agement of speculation by the strong
statistical position of the immense
wheat supplies and the uncertainty as
TO our present relation. The position

ders business to some extent. With
more than $34, 600 900 gold received or
on its way since this movement began;
with ample bank reserves and treasury
reserves and a redemption of notes in
all ways nearly a third smaller than
in February, to date; with no strin-
gency in the money market and sterling
exchange weak; with the volume of
business at clearing houses outside
New Eark larger than in 1892 by 60
per cent this morning, and with fail
ures nearly 30 per cent smaller than
last year and % per cent. smaller than
in the same month of 1899, there is
not much visible ground for panic, even
if earnest efforts should fail to keep
peace with honor. Warlike reports come
every day, and stock operators make
the most of them and yet the average
of prices of railroad stocks is 500 0S,
against S53 20 two weeks ago to-day.
Nor have industrial operations been
perceptibly affected except where ex-
traordinary buying for some weeks past
has made necessary a pause for breath,
so to speak or where unnatural prices
had caused a halt before the destruc-
ton of the Maine. Some decrease in
new engagements would be expected.

Daniel Holland Has Ended His
Earthly Troubles.

About o'clock Thursday afternoon
Daniel Holland, a we'll known bartend-
er in this city. called at the Rhoads
d Townsend saloon, at Second and

ing he intended to take some quinine

He took a bottle containing a white
powdered substance and emptied a
large part of it into the glass. Thomas
Osborn, the bartender, demonstrated
with him, saying that that much qui-
nine would kill him. Thereupon Hol-
land put about a spoonful of the DOW
der back into the bottle, but told Os-
born he knew what he was doing. He
then swallowed the dose, engaged a
room and went to bed
About 8 o'clock yesterday morning.
when Arthur Miller, the proprietor of
the house. arrived, Holland was still
in bed. He sent a man to wake him
up, but he was dead. Instead of qui-
nine, the bottle he had used contained
morphine, and after he reached the
room he had emptied the remainder of
the drug into his stomach.
Holland was about 80 years old. and
was well known in this city. He had
tended bar at number of saloons in
town, and at one time owned a saloon
of his own. Until recently he had been
employed by Frank Bergman, whose
saloon is on j street, between Seventh
and Eighth, but lost his Job and grew
Respondent. For ten days before his
death he had been drinking heavily.

fires occurred within an hour and a

meteors will be seen, which dart with great
rapdity across the sky and leave a shining
train in their wake. Their paths, it traced
backward, intersect in a point situated in
the constellation Leo near the center of the
group of stars known as the Sickle For
this reason these meteors are known as the
'Leonids They really strike the earth in
parallel lines, and their apparent radiation
from point in space is weil-known effect
of perspective.
1T has been ascertained that the Leonids
bfore they enter our atmosphere are very
small bodies (perhaps no larger than grains
of shot), travelling in an orbit which extends
far out beyond that of the remote planet
Uranus. The meteors are distributed along
the whole length of the orbit, and complete
the circuit in thirty-three quarter years.
Every time the earth passes through this
track, which occurs on or about November
l3, some Leonid meteors are seen.
''The small particles are not, however,
uniformly distributed along the track AT
one place there is a great bunch, which is en-
Gountered by the earth every thirty third
year. At such times there is a remarkable
meteoric display The meteoric showers of
1888 and 1865 are the most brilliant on rec
ord.
Although the main shower is not expect
ed until 1889, particular attention is being
paid to the Leonids at present. If the
great mass of the meteoric particles are not
closely punched, the advance guard and the
stragglers may be expected to furnish in
ferior displays in the years preceding and
following the great shower. In this way, it
is possible to determine the general group
ing the particles in their orbit"

retarry Charles F. Dick, will be opened in
Washington as soon as Congress convenes
and preparations for the campaign of 1900
will go forward rapidly.
Discussing the subject, Colonel Dick said:
will be opened by the time Congress con-
venes and will continue until after the Presi-
dental election in 1900.
I'VE will go on keeping in touch with our
different State and district organizations
and keep them together. Our idea is to al
ways have them in good working order, ready
for any kind of work, and not to depend up
day after the nomination for President we
shall have literature to send out. 1t was
after Mckinley was nominated in 1895 that
we commenced to think of literature. This
time we intend to be ready"

HARBoR DEFENSES
Though Not Complete Are Already
Formidable

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 15.-Colonel
y H. Smith init United states ha, IN
absence, largely spent in inspecting the At
lantic Coast defenses and especially the har-
Dor defenses at New York, Boston and
Portland Maine
Our harbor defenses," said Colonel Smith.
"while not yet completed, are sufficiently
far advanced that it would be suicidal for
any warship of a foreign country to enter
any of these harbors if we objected. A great
deal of work is yet necessary to be done but
work is being pushed forward rapidly.
Every few people have any idea of the
power or accuracy of our coast defenses. Our
defenses are as good as any in the world for
their purposes. No better can be found any
where. The works are being rapidly com
pleted and it will not be great while until
