cured us big concession of territory,
but the inestimable profit of the triumph

was in establishing the inviolahility of

MAYOR SUTRO DEAD.
He Was the Largest Individual Proper
Owner in San Francisco.

He Was the Largest Individual Property
Owner i'm San Francisco.
San Francisco, Aug. S.-Ex-Mayor
Sutro died at $3.50 o'clock Monday morn
ing.
Adolph Sutro was born at Aix-la-
Chapelle, Prussia, April 20, 1880. He
received a liberal education and after
business reverses in his own country,
came to the United States with his
mother and ten other children in 1850.
Adolph Sutro started almost immedi-
ately for California, arriving at San
Francisco Nov. 81, 1850. He first en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits but later
ventured into mining. In 1860 he WIS.,
tied the Comstock lode. Later he opened
reduction works at Dayton, New, where
the Gould and Curry ores were worked
reducing 100 pounds CT silver each day.
Mr.. Sutro conceived the iiea of tun ell
ling the Comstock lode and with the
cooperation Of forty -une companies
operating on the lode, the work was
commenced. The tunnel cost millions
of dollars and was not completed for
many years. Millions were extract q
from this gigantic work. Later on Sutro
returned to San Franc'sc and engaged
in other pursuits, but always interested
himself in mining. He bought real es-
tate all over this city in early days and
as the city grew, the value Of this prop
erty increased tremendously. He was
elected mayor four years ago and
served one term. M
He has been i'll for long time, nerv-
Gus trouble incapacitating him for bust
ness While his death has been ex-
pected for some time 1t came as a
great shock to the community, such a
sudden demise not being looked for. Mr..
Sutro was the largest Individual prop
erty owner in San Francisco, and his
wealth is estimated at about 81 900 900.

MICHIGAN WHEAT CROP.
Average Yield This Year Estimated at
17.06 Bushels Per Acre.


Lansing, Mich, Aug. 9.-Secretary of
State Gardner estimates the average
yield of wheat in Michigan this year at
1876 bushels per acre. This is an in
crease Of 1.22 bushels over the estimate
Of July l, and it indicates total crop
of 10000, 900 bushels. This total estimate
exceeds the actual yield Of any year
except 1882 and 1885. when 1t was 3d.
9S3,340 and 32,56S,6s bushels respective
ly. The crop has been secured in ex-
cellent condition and is of fine quality.
The average condition of corn in the
state is 81 per cent, o. per cent. lower
than one year ago. Oats are estimated
to yield twenty-nine bushels per acre,
or about two bushels less than Michi-
gans full average. Some correspon-
dents report the crop of light weight.
The promise for potatoes is three
fourths and for beans eight-tenths Of
average crops.
Hay Is estimated at nine-tenths Of
an average crop, and the average condi-
ton of meadows and pastures is rs
per cent. Clover seed sown this year
Is GA per cent. for the state, and but Sc
per cent. for the southern counties,
these figures indicating that the seed
ing is largely lost. The present promise
for apples is about two-thirds for the
state, and 81 per cent. for the southern
counties, as compared with one-third
and one-fourth respectively one year
ago. Peaches are estimated at seven
tenths Of an average crop. Corn, pota-
toes and pastures are in great need Of
rain

Death of 'Frisco's Benefactor.

San Francisco, Aug. 9.-Adolph Sutro,
ex-mayor of this city, and notable for
the good he did with his wealth, died
here early yesterday morning after a
long illness. His wealth is put at 81
100000 and came from the famous Sutro
tunnel in Nevada through the heart of
the Comstock lode. Part of the money
he got out of that tunnel went to build
splendid baths in this city, to establish
the Sutro historical library in the gift
of large tract of ground for park

Detroit. Aug. s.-The Rev. Ralph H.
Baldwin of st. Johns church at Sagi-
new is flying from the result Of his
folly and two households are In commo-
ton. The Rev. Mr.. Baldwin. while he
has continued to hold the rectorship Of
his church, has been away from Sagi-
nav the best part of the last five
months. and 1t develops that the bulk
of the time he has resided at 606 Sec
ond avenue with a young woman, said
Keyes, but known in the neighborhood
as Baldwin's wife. He was known there
as Harold L. Baldwin, but the nature of
his business avocation is unknown. He
was absent from his Detroit home from
Saturday afternoons to Mondays, and
in this interim attending to his du-
ties as preacher in Saginaw.
His wife in Saginaw, who is a daugh-
ter of Millionaire Crittenden of New
York, evidently became aware of the
cause Of the preachers absence, as she
summoned her father rom New York,
and he has been busy packing her goods
preparatory to Eui vpean trip. Bald
win got wind Of what was going on late
in the afternoon, hurriedly departed
from the city, and is supposed at this
writing to have gone to Chatham, Ont.
A call at the house on Second avenue
In the afternoon found young and
pretty woman who denied strenuously
that her name was Alice Reyes. She
said that when she first met Baldwin
she had supposed him a single man,
and in that he had not done her justice.
She made no pretense of denying the
fact that she and Baldwin had been liv-
ing together for five months, but said
he had not been with her all the time.
and she would not have gone with him
had she known he had wife. She adj
mitted that she expected to see Bald
win again and said he had told her long
after they began living together, when
she first learned he was married man,
that his home life was most unhappy.
A moving van stood in front Of the
house and the young woman was pre-
pairing to move, but where she would
not say.

special representatives from each nation,
who will meet at some place to be
agreed ON and affix the signatures to the
document.
Our civil war closed without formal
treaty of peace because by it's ending
was caused the destruction of the Con-
fs1eracy, and there remained no power
with which to treat. 1t is not probable
that Spain will fight until she is thor
oughly exhausted or until she has lost
her political identity.
AS to the terms antecedent to peace
which our government will insist upon
l will not presume to conjecture, but
that they will be entirely satisfactory
we may rest assured. Should the war
end soon it will be easier for Spain If
protracted, the conditions imposed upon
her will, of course, be more rigorous
Cuba, though aiding us against Spain,
will not become party to the treaty,
not being recognized as government
by Spain. However, to avoid complica-
ton, we may insist upon clause in
favor of Cuba, the effect of which will
be that the peace shall extend over that
island.
The first practical step toward treaty
Of peace will be the appointment by
both governments of plenipotentiaries
authorized to meet and draw up such a
document. Our plenipotentiaries must
be confirmed by the senate. There is no
established rule as to how many of these
shall be selected by either SIDE Three
were appointed in 1883 to draw up, for
this government the treaty of peace
with Great Britain, while that govern
ment was represented by but one. The
treaty Of peace ending the war of 1919
was drawn by three British and five
American plenipotentiaries; that end
ing the Mexican war by three dons and
one American.
The treaty having been drawn by the
Spanish and American plenipotentia-
ries, instituted by the ministry of for
eign affairs at Madrid and the state de-
partment at Washington, it must next
be submitted to the respective govern
ments for ratification. 1t will therefore
be printed upon parchment in two edi-
tions one English and the other Span
ish. The ratification on our part must
be done by the senate. The treaty having
at last been ratified by both govern
ments peace will be formally announced
in both-in America by presidential
proclamation.
1t would be premature to discuss the
means by which this country will seek
to indemnify herself before consenting to
peace with Spain. Most modern wars
have been profitable to the victors
Should our country follow the example
of other nations the proclamation of
peace will find us much more than COM
pensated for the expenses of the war.

more surprising is the fact that this
enormous sum has been paid and with

San Francisco, Aug. 10.-The Column
bian exploration party, composed of six
teen prospectors who went north on
the steamer Lakme, reached Unalaska
late in June. At that place they met
Rev. E. Weber, a Moravian missionary,
who was also bound for Kuskokvia
river for religious work, and who went
along with them as pilot and inter-
prefer among the Indians. Weber took
with him his wife and child. The Lakme
reached Goodmen's bay, off the mouth
Of Kuskokvia river, on June %
Two days later Weber reached the
camp of a number Of other Moravians
who had preceded him. The prospec-
tors with whom Weber had gone north
had a fifty-foot steamer and two barges,
but they needed another vessel to carry
what they had with them. Weber could
not get boat from the missionaries
just at that time. On June q the small
steamer with the two barges in tow
started for the mouth of the river.
Soon after their departure a terrible
gale sprang up, and continued for two
days. Nothing has been seen Of any of
the party of nineteen since. A few
days later the natives discovered one
barge ashore on the north side Of Kus-
kokvia river loaded with flour canned
goods and clothing. The whole party
was lost.

nation that has been thrashed and that
during the proceeding has lost many Of
its citizens and much of its money to
have to pay roundly for the experience
after it Is all over. But the lesson is a
salutary one. By teaching the van
pushed that warfare is expensive as
well as cruel more is done toward pre-
serving peace in the world than by all
the pleadings of the humanitarians.
A treaty of peace is much more for
NAL, ceremonious and complicated pro-
ceeding than declaration of war. Oc-
casionally hostilities have begun before
war has been declared at all, as in the
present one with Spain we seized her
vessels as prizes before declaration of
war had been made. In the event of me-
gotiations for peace taking place, Spain S
method Of procedure will doubtless be
determined by the desire to make the
best possible showing in the formal
treaty which is to bring hostilities to a
close. When the president shall have
become convinced of her sincerity in
counting peace at the price set by him,
he will begin to revolve the wheels of
the peacemaking machinery.
The etiquette of peacemaking is as
strict as that of warmaking. Pending
negotiations for permanent peace, the
president may agree to all armistice
Neither side can then take advantage of
such truce by making warlike move
ments or repairs beneath the other s
guns. If Havana or any other Spanish
city is under siege, however, it will be
permissible for it's defenders to repair or
artillery. In other words, neither Spain
nor the United States may do anything
during an armistice which the other
might have prevented it from doing at
the exact moment when the truce began
to take effect.
Presenting that the theater Of war
will not extend to the continental pos
sessions of either belligerent, we might
continue to fit out ships, equip troops,
recruit new men and otherwise act
here on the mainland as though the
war were going on, and Spain might do
the same wherever in her possessions
hostilities have not just been in prog
ress.
Finding that her cities blockaded or
under siege were on the verge of starva-
ton, it would be characteristic move
for Spain to ask an armistice with the
hope of entering with supplies during
its protection. To guard against such a
possibility we would probably agree
that sufficient food be admitted during
the armistice to last the starving people
only a few days at time, thus prevent
ing an advantage Of long standing.
The war will not be permanently
terminated until treaty of peace with
Spain has been signed, ratified and pro-
claimed by both countries. 1t has hap
pened that two countries in modern
times have terminated warfare be-
tween them not through a formal treaty
of peace, but through utter exhaustion.
Such cases, however, are rare.
Naturally one of the first suggestions
of the beaten nation will be proposal
