THE PRESIDENT INDoRsED.
The California Delegates to Sustain Mckinley

At a special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce held yesterday afternoon the following dispatch was ordered to be for warded to the California delegates now in Washington:
 Francisco realizing the intense feeling at pres ent prevailing in country owing to the strained relations existing between the United States and the kingdom of Spain, believe that under such circumstances too much stress can- not be placed upon the necessity or our citizens looking upon the question involved in calm and deliberate manner, and, Whereas We are of the opinion that the policy pursued in this present crisis by the President and admnis- tration in Washington has been in thorough accord with dignity as nation and the best interests of our country and that the President has shown that he fully realizes the gravity of the situation and his digniffed, calm and consderate course under these trying con- ditions deserve the cordial support of all of our citizens independent of political parties. Be 1t therefore
 Resolved, That we respectfully extend to the President the assurance of earnest sup port and urgently request the California dele gation in Washington to use their best en- deayors to sustain and uphold the President in the furtheranee of the policy which he has adopted.
 Following this was another addressed to Senator Perkins urging him to use his influence in having the quarantine laws of the United States exclusively en- forced at this port. This means that the State laws be done away with so far as they apply to the quarantining of foreign vessels entering the harbor.
 The memory of Charles Hanson, a late member of the Board of Directors of the Chamber, who died last month was re- membered by a suitable set of resolu- tions eulogizing his usefulness as an active member of the association.

such a breeze as a captain of a vessel like his would like.
 II was on deck most of the afternoon, and about 6:30 O clock 1 noticed that the New York had again tackled and was standing inshore. Captain Leland and the first mate, Mir. Peterson, watched her she was lucky she would be able to pass the point on that tack
 What was the condition of the wind?' was asked of MT. Dent, to which he an- swered Tt was blowing pretty stiff from the northwest all of the afternoon, but not so hard as to make the handling of a ship at all difficult"
 And the condition of the atmosphere, was it foggy or misty, so that the captain could not see where he was going?"
 ''Pshaw, nothing of the kind. The be-" was the mates reply. ''The night was as clear as the day. At o'clock in the evening l plainly saw the Pigeon Point light, which is eighteen miles down the coast. If we could see that light so far down the coast I do not understand why the captain of the ship could not see We had our riding lights up fore and aft. Besides there was big light on the end of the wharf and back on the shore could be seen dozens of lights in the town, Spanishtown. Still the captain of the New York kept right on. lights and all. until he piled his ship up on the beach, where she now lies. I cannot see for the life of me how it was that he could have been inexcusable for him to have made such a mistake in the night time. with all the lights in full sight, but to do as he did after nearly going on the reef in the afternoon is more than I can com prehend. When he found, in the after noon. that he was in a locality in which he had no business it was his duty to have got out of there fast as his sails would carry him. But he did not, and his ship is now on the beach,"
 Captain Peabody of the New York is still at Spanishtown. He acknowledges that the loss of the ship is as much of a mystery to him as to any one else. Yesterday he said that on the day pre- ceding the wreck he was beating on and off the coast west of Pigeon Point light and could not make any headway against the wind. It took him about twenty-four

When l sighted the New iork she was standing in toward the beach, and I said to the mate, Whats mat fellow doing in there? He'll run that ship ashore if he don't look out The Glpsy was about half a mile off shore and a mile and half from the beach. Just then he hauled his main topsail back, put the ship hung fire. l watched him 1ew seconds, and then remarked to the Sing. there for about ten minutes, and then her topsails filled and the crew wore ship and stood off shore.

Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
 Indigestion.
 The national disease of Americans is indigestion or in it's chronic form, dy- spepsia, and for the very reason that it is so common many people neglect taking proper treatment for what they consider trif1ing stomach trouble, when, as a matter of fact, indigestion lays the foundation for many incurable dis eases. No person with vigorous, healthy stomach will fall a victim to consumption. Many kidney diseases and heart troubles date their begin ming from poor digestion; thin, nerv- ous people are really so because their stomachs are out of gear; weary, lan- guid, faded out women owe their con- dition to imperfect digestion.
 When nearly every person you meet is afflicted with weak digestion it is not surprising that nearly every secret pat ent medicine on the market claims to be cure for dyspepsia, as we'll as a score of other troubles, when, in fact, as Dr. Werthier says, there is but one genuine dyspepsia cure which is per- fectly safe and reliable, and moreover, this remedy is not patent medicine, but it is a scientific combination of pure pepsin Gree from animal matter). vegetable essences, fruit salts and bis muth. It is sold by druggists under name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets No extravagant claims are made for them, but for indigestion or any stomach trouble, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead of any remedy yet discov- cred. They act on the food eaten, no dieting is necessary, simply eat all the wholesome food you want and these tablets will digest it. A cure results, because all the stomach needs is a rest, which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by doing the work of digestion.
 Druggists sell these tablets at 50 cents per package. Little book on stomach diseases and testimonials sent free by addressing Stuart Co.,, chemists, Mar shall Mich.

The Dark Ways by Which the Pacific Coast Clubs Stock Was PaWned and
 Depreciated

cents 8 share, and additional shares were to be issued to those who had purchased at 50 cents share, in order to equalize the prices so that the stock already purchased should cost no more than that to be purchased at the re- duced price. The court says:
 Section 359 of the Civil Code pro- vides that mo corporation shall issue stock or bonds except for money paid labor done or property actually re- ceived.' The certificates for the two thousand shares referred to appear to have been issued in violation of this provision; and if they were so issued they were void, and the parties receiv- ing them did not thereby become share holders nor make themselves liable to creditors as for an unpaid subscrip- tion."
 President Androus and J. H. Crocker of the club were seen last night rela- tive to the issue of stock as dividends. They said they had been informed that the proceedings were entirely proper.
 Why was the stock increased in this way?" was asked of President An drous.
 T cannot tell you just why" was the reply, "as that was matter in the discretion of the board of directors; but am informed that everything was done after thorough legal advice"
 MT. Crocker professed equal ignor- ance of the motive that led to the un- usual action. : said: 'I personally do not know just why the directors took the action, but I am informed that the attorneys for the club passed on the matter in due form before the step was taken. If it is illegal it can. no doubt be set aside, as it has probably done no particular harm"
