California cities Fear an Attack.

Senators Perkins and White of Califor-
mia called upon Secretary Alger this
morning to urge upon him the necessity
of terrifying the coast towns of their
State. They say people of California are
greatly excited over the rumor that their
defenseless condition has been exposed
to Spain by mysterious woman at Santa
Cruz. They fear that Spain will attack
the Western coast of the United States
instead of making visit to the East
Secretary Alger said he would do what
he could in the matter.

New York. April 3O.-Capt. F.. E. Whit
ney, of the Eighth Artillery. in charge of
the only army recruiting station in the
city, at No. % Third Avenue, has not as
yet been officially notified OF the fact that
the Army reorganization bill has become
a law. This bill was finally agreed 10
by Congress. and President Mckinley
signed the measure on Tuesday after
noon.
The bill organizes the Regular Army
on war basis of more than 81 600 enlisted
men.
AS the President has approved the bill
declaring that a state OF war exists be-
tween the United States and Spain, in
creased pay is now operative. and the
lowest pay of privates I'm the Army is
increased from s13 per month 20 $3.50.
AS the pay of the non-commissiOned off,
GERS is increased in the same proper
ton, the incentive to enlistment will be
greater than before the passage OF the
bill.
The Office at No. % Third Avenue re-
ceives recruits who enlist in Jersey City
and Brooklyn. The physical examina ton
takes place at the New York recruiting
station. About 800 applicants day have

a small percentage of this number are

and still others have some minor defect
that keeps them from serving Uncle Sam.
The strict regulations will be vastly re-
laxed when Capt. Whitney is officially no

that he would very easily be able to get

Barr a good head despite the foul rid ing of Conley, when to the surprise of nearly all the number of Garland Barr was flashed as the winner. Possibly the gelding won; perhaps dreams sometimes come to pass.
 The going was of the splashy sort yesterday and picking winners was a very uncertain pastime. Two first choices were all that could land the coin.
 The Lissak stake, valued at s1250. over six furlongs, resulted in a most pronounced victory for the fast colt Traverser, ridden by Thorpe. Coupled in the betting with Colonel Dan, the duo ruled 13 to 10 favorites in the bet ting Traverser jumped out in front and won with ease. pr. Sharp with Clayton in the saddle took the place with the same ease from Count of Elan ders.
 A big bunch of eighteen started in the opening five and a half furlong scramble and very little betting was done in the ring. A plunge was made on Torpedo, forcing his odds down from to 31a, the post favorite. Dolore, with Jones up, took a decided lead in the stretch. winning easily at the end from Veragua, ridden by Hennessy. Heritage was a fair third. The winner was to l in the ring.
 The second event was another sec tion of the first affair. five and a half furlong spin, with ten lining up. Dave Gideon's Destruction was responsible for nearly bankrupting half the crowd.

F. Fogg entered Garland Barr in the fifth race yesterday, and he was a 8 to l chance in the betting. Dreams, so they say, go in reverses; still as the horses issued from the paddock Gar land wore a troubled look. The hot favorite, Cash Day, was nowhere, fin ishing last of his field. Perseus, a 12 to l shot in the ring. ridden by boy wearing white jacket with red and blue stripes, apparently beat Garland

The mare was hammered down from threes to to 5, and O'Connor was un- able to land her inside the money L0nnie Clayton, astride O'Fleeta, took the lead from Lucky Star and Jack Martin the last furlOng, downing the former cleverly at the wire.
 The smartest calculators figured Bar ney Schreiber's gelding Imperious a good thing for the nine furlong run. He had Lonnie Clayton on his back and at even money carried some big commissions. He ran well to the stretch, where he was in difficulties, and ended up third. Fink's mare Bon ita made nearly all the running and won ridden out a length before the poorly piloted Attainment, with Jones up.

IMPROVING GRADES
On the Third Division of the B. & o.
The Work Being Done.

The receivers of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad have turned their atten-
ton to the improvement of the grades
on the Third division from Cumberland
to Grafton, or rather that portion
which lays between Altamont, the top
of the seventeen-mile grade, and Terra
Alta, where the Cranberry grade be-
gins to descend. The line passes
through Deer Park and Oakland and
passes what is known as the "Glades'
of the Allegheny mountains. The
grades are sharp and choppy, some of
them being so to IS feet to the mile.
One of the first pieces of work to be
done is now in progress at No. So cut,
where the grade is being reduced from
81 feet to 4211a feet per mile with equa-
lions for curvature. 1t is expected that
the cutting down of this grade will
enable the receivers to increase the
train load from 1000 tons to 1900 tons
on east-bound trains. One mile of the
roadway will be lowered, and it is ex-
pected that the work will be COM
pleted by the middle o, October.

SITUATION AT GAS WORKS.
The Employees Held a Meeting Yes
terday Afternoon.

For several days there have been ru-
mors Of a theatened strike of the gas
works empolyes. The men have asked
for an increase in wages, which will
not be granted.
The history Of the present dissatis-
faction is generally understood. About
fourteen months ago the application
of gas works employees, endorsed by
the Trades Assembly, for a reduction
of the working hours from twelve to
eight, with a corresponding reduction
in wages, was granted. The men were
previously paid 20 cents per hour,
which Is the present wages
Some time ago the employees petit
tened the Gas Board for the payment
of the original wages for eight hours
work. This would be equivalent to an
increase Of ten cents an hour. The
board referred the matter to Council.
which In turn referred 1t to the Finance
Committee. The proceedings OF the
joint session Of the committee and the
Board last week was exclusively pub
lished in the Register. On account of
the financial condition Of the city It
was decided to recommend the rejec-
ton of the petition.
1t is significant that the Trades As
sembly, in view Of the fact that the
matter has been freely discussed at
meetings Of that body, has not APP
proved the demand of gas works en-
ployes. II was understood that the
meeting Of gas works employees yester-
day afternoon was to take definite ac-
ton in the matter. The meeting was
held, but its result could not be
learned.

GASOLINE EXPLOSION

Badly Burned Mrs. Kelly of the North
End-HeIp Came In Time.
The explosion of gasoline in a stove
badly burned Mrs. Kelly yesterday.
Her clothing caught fire, and but for
prompt assistance which was rendered,
her body would have been burned fa-
tally.
At about seven O'Clock in the morn
ing, Mrs. Kelly, who conducts a grocery
store at the southeast corner of Main
and Third streets, lighted a gasoline
stove for the purpose of preparing
breakfast. An instant later there was
an explosion, which ignited Mrs. Kel-
ly's clothing She was soon enveloped
in flames and screaming loudly she
ran into the street.
A number of young men who COM
posed a fishing party which was about
to depart for a point up the river,
were standing in front Of Peter Miller's
grocery. They saw the flames in the
building, and were across the street
when Mrs. Kelly reached the sidewalk
One or two of the young men threw
their coats over Mrs. Kelly, and sue
ceeded in smothering the flames, but
not until all her clothing had been
burned and portions of the flesh on
her body were burned to crisp.
DR.. S. L. Spragg was called ard gave
the necessary medical attention to the
unfortunate woman. While very pain
fully burned, her injuries are not of a
serious character.
