CLIPPERTON ISLAND.
No Flag Now Flies Over the
Place.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 19.-The steamer
Alice Blanchard, Captain Frederick
Warner. arrived to-day from Clipper
ton Island after a passage of eleven
days. with $50 tons of pulverized phos-
phate rock
Clipperton Island is 1000 miles south
of San Diego. being in latitude lo de-
grees north and longitude 1O0 west. 1t
is 500 miles south of Acapulco, and
about 600 miles directly west OF MIC
aragua.
The Blanchard brings as passengers
Nolan Baldwin, aged 10. son OF Barry
Baldwin, formerly United States Mar
shall at San Francisco, and Theodore
Gusmann, who have been on the desc
late island for nearly thirteen months.
Mr.. Gusmann figured in somewhat
heroic light on Clipperton few months
ago. when he refused to haul down the
American flag when ordered to do SO
by the Mexican man-of-war Demo
crata. The crew of the Mexican war
shin raised their flag over the island
in place of the Stars and Stripes, but II
was taken down as soon as they left.
Mr.. Gusmann says that since that time
no flag has been flying over the lslano.

Cows Fond Of Music.

Strange things happen in Beaufort
sometimes. On last Friday two COWS,
the property of an eStimable widow,
without any appreciable cause and not
being upon short rations, either, find
ing an old box or trunk of music lying
loose under the house, deliberately de-
voured sheet after sheet Of the pile of
pianoforte music until they consumed it
all, and the consequences was that the
next day they exhibited signs of dys-
pepsia, refused more succulent food and
finally sickened and died to-day, despite
the efforts of the cattle doctors, the al
lopathic physicians and the homeo-
pathics. There is no telling what kind
of music was in the box, and the long
mooted question Of What tune did the
old cow die of" is still shrouded in
mystery The most plausible theory
advanced is that they died from the cf-
fects Of the hemi- -demi- semi -quavers.
which perhaps some one more versed in
be able to explain.
Editor Rodgers of ''The Palmetto
Post" who has a vast fund of informa-
ton upon all subjects, says that he
never heard or knew Of but one similar
case, and that occurred in Charleston
when he was a boy. He says that his
pet goat on one occasion ate up very
large quantity of sacred music adapted
to the organ, and that ever afterward
the bleating of the goat, which sur
vived, was more melodious. Rodgers.
who is "a fellow of infinite jest is
disposed to think that 1t was operatic
music. and that if the cows had not
died from the .'quavers'' referred to
they would have had the hollow horn

PANA MINERS STRIKE.
The Situation Assuring a Very
Serious Phase.

PANA 0n).r Aug. ia crowd or
fully 500 excited miners and citizens
were about the city building last night,
when Ed Jones and James Palmer,
held in heavy bonds on five charges or
assault with deadly weapons with IN
tent to murder the miners on the
highway at Springside mine, to-day
were released on ample security. For
a time indications pointed to serious
trouble. Jones and Palmer were con-
yeyed to the courtroom in buggy by
Operator Overholt of the Springslde
mine. and after being released, headed
by Messrs. Overholt, Peterbaugh ana
Ouigg. they marched through the croWd
amid fhe hiss5S of the miners and cltl-
zens. There were many murmurings
and open thsfats. Cries OF Hang
them" Bring a rope, SWING tneih
up." were made, and at one time there
was a rush towards the buggy, whlcn
was surrounded by threatening men.
Wiser counsel and cool judgment pre-
vailed. and the prisoners We're hnally
conveyed back to the shaft unharmed'
Jones and Palmer's trial Will occur
at the August term.
The miners have established several
camps on the highways near the
Snringside mine and are watching the
shaft SO closely that the few men Work
ing there do not leave the mine day OF
night. but sleep on the GROUNDS ana
have meals sent them.

SANTA MONICA, Aug. 19.-The,
championship in the open singles was
won this afternoon by l.. r. Freeman,
and he is now the possessor of the
beautiful gold trophy cup offered by the
Lawn Tennis Association of Southern
California. The match, although fast,
was rather disappointing, as both
champion and challenger We're in bad
form.
Play began this morning with mixed
doubles between Freeman and Miss
Sutton, and Rowan and Marian Jones,
the ladies doing most of the playing,
and their tennis was admirable. The
former team won, which makes it a
matter of study as to who Will win in
the ladies' singles tomorrow afternoon,
Miss Sutton or champion, Marian Jones.
To-day's scores are:
Mixed doubleS-Freeman and Sutton
beat r. Rowan and Marian Jones, 10,

steamer of the California and Oriental
Steamship Company will sail from San

ENGLAND BUYING COAL.
Stocking Her Stations in the Event
OF Possible War.

NORFOLK Va), Aug. l9.-Ihere mas
been shipped from Norfolk in British
bottoms. seventeen cargoes of Pocanon-
tas coal, aggregating 20, 12O tons. They
have gone to eleven different coaling
stations belonging to England, ana II
has been believed that England was
stocking coal stations in the event OF
possible war. To-day it leaked out that
this view is undoubtedly correct, as the
Pocahontas Coal Company is asserted
by one of it's employees to have practlc-
ally admitted that an unlimited con-
tract from the British Government Tor
coaling her stations all over the world
had been secured and the work has
lust fairly commenced.
The stations to which cargoes have
thus far been sent are: Montevldeo,
in Uruguay; st. Michaels, in the
Azores; Kingston, Jamaica; Singapore,
India: Cape Town, Africa; ST. Vincent
and Porto Praya. Cape de Verdes; st.
Lucia. B. w. L.; Buenos Ayres, Argen-
tine Republic; ST. Paul de Loana, Af-
rica. and London. One vessel alone,
the Indra, carried 8, $50 tons to Singa-
pore.
