WOOL MARKET is DULL.
Will Probably Not Open Again Before
November.

Will Probably Not Open Again Before
November.
To-day a es-Mountaineer repor-
ter interviewed prominent eastern
wool buyer regarding the cause of the
present rullness in the market and the
possibility of its regaining activity.
His staten ent was that the cause of the
present dullness is the lack of demand.
Manufacturers are not placing any or
ders now for the class of wool grown
in this section, hence the buyer who
makes purchases now does so solely on
speculation. The factories in the east
are well stocked up with wools, and
have sufficient in their warehouses to
fill all orders in sight, therefore the
wool merchant can make no sales to
them.
AS to the future market he believed
by the first of Noven Der it would re-
gain activity By that time the stocks
worked up, and as the winter orders
will begin going in, manufacturers
will require more wool. And in regard
to prices, he did not believe they
would rule any higher than they had
during the past two months. Oregon
woods at u to IA cents can be manu-
factured at profit, but at higher
prices here, the manufacturer would be
taken chances of loss, therefore no
high prices may be expected this fall,
unless there is marked change in the
demand for manufactured cloths.

SEEKS ID CLOSE
 THE POOLROOMS H. H. Noble of SauSalitO
 Complains.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 25.-H. H. Noble, a well-known citizen of Sausalito has evidently arrived at the conclusion that he can force Harrison and Harvey to cease conducting poolrooms in that town. By his attorneys, A. J. Treat and c. L. Burnell, he filed complaint with County Clerk Bonneau to-day asking that the poolrooms be sup pressed by law as detrimental to his business and property interests.
 The documents filed are two in num- Der. The first complaint is directed against w. H. Harrison, Charles For rest ct al The second deals with Joe Harvey, M. T. Bareiros ct al.
 Noble states that he owns certain property situated within 150 feet of where Harrison's business is conducted in the Buffalo Hotel and within 380 feet of where Harvey runs poolroom at IS and 21 Water street. He alleges that both maintain public gaming places where money Is wagered and which premises are frequented by an idle, vicious, dissolute, vagrant and criminal class of persons"
 These places he claims are rented by Forrest and Bareiros with full knowl- edge of the use to which they are put For the reason that he believes them to be nuisance to the public peace and comfort and that they are injuring and will further injure in the future his property interests Noble petitions the court that Harrison and Harvey be re- strained from carrying on a business which is nuisance and that Forrest and Bareiros be enjoined from renting or leasing their property in future for any similar games.

Annual Report of the
 Chief of Engineers.
WHAT THE WAR HAS SHOWN
VALUE OF SHORE BATTERIES
 AND SUBMARINE MINES.
Appropriations Recommended for the Improvement of Pacific Coast Rivers and
 Harbors.

WASHINGT IN, Oct. 25.-The annual report of Brigadier General John M. Wilson, chief of engineers, U. S. A, has been made to the Secretary of War. In consequence of the war with Spain that portion of the report relating to fortif1- cations is most interesting. Upon this point General Wilson says:
 During the fiscal year projects of per, and approved by the Secretary of War for Port Royal, s. C., St. Johns River, Fla, Tampa, Fla, and Sabine Pass, United States for which projects of per manent defenses have thus far been ap- proved under the general scheme pro the close of the fiscal year the construc- tion of permanent modern defensive works was in progress in 250 localities:
 In consequence of the war with Spain and the possibilities of hostile attacks up- on our coasts, urgent and pressing de- mands were made by Senators, Represen- tatiVes and local business men for the immediate erection of seacoast batteries at numerous points not contemplated in the general scheme of national defense. In the absence of any available modern armament the Secretary of War directed the immediate construction of temporary batteries, mounting old style armament Der of exposed localities, including some which are embraced in the national scheme of defense.
 While no hostile attacks were made upon our sea coasts during the war with Spain, the operations of the American fleet on the coasts of Cuba and Porto Rico have amply demonstrated the value of coast defenSeS, including shore batteries and submarine mines, in resisting naval at tackS. One other important deduction may also be drawn from the results of the war, namely, the great value and eff1- ciency of the rapid-fre gun. It is gratify- ing to report that not only have a conSid- erable number of these rapid-fire guns been mounted during the year, but that provision has been made for the manu- facture and placing of a large additional number.
 Existing projects for seacoast defenses contemplate the emplacement of about 500 heaV3 guns of S. 10, 12 and Is inches about 700 rapid-fire guns of various cali bers, and about 1000 mortars. These fig ures are subject to slight changes. The estimated approximate cost of the engi- neers' work included with the installa- tion of this work Is $55, 900 900
 Detailed estimates for next years river and harbor work include the fol- lowing work on the Pacific Coast:
 San Diego Harbor, $50 GOO; Deepwater Harbor, San Pedro Bay, $400 900; San Luis Obispo Harbor, $7O 0O0 Oakland Harbor, $25,000; Humboldt Harbor. S143, ,115: Coquille River.

COLLISION OF THE ROYALISTS AND
 THE REPUBLICANS

PARIS, Oct. 25.-About 10 o'clock a band of youthful royalists formed in front of the Military Club, and, after cheering for the army, marched, pre- ceded by the tricoIor. toward the of fees of the Soleil and the Gaulois. singing, "C'Est Gammale, que'eu nos Faut.' eve need Gammele, we must have Gammele) Gammele is a nick name for the Duke of Orleans and the reference to the story that the Duke, when entering the army. expressed the desire to eat from the gammele or soup bowl of a private.
 On arriving at the boulevard this demonstration, which had grown to several thousands met a rival repub- lican organization. A violent collision took place and the republicans cap tured the royalist flag, which increased the tumult
