drawn OF the success of the coming international
exposition to be held in this city The meeting was
largely attended and the tone OF the discussion showed
that all sanguine OF good results from the under
taking and are assured of a cordial and strong sup
port not only in the city, but throughout the State.
SO confident of success the promoters of the
enterprise that it decided on Saturday to COM
plee the work of organization, and the next meeting
was fixed as the time for the election of permanent
officers 1t also determined that the exposition
should be held in 1901 the first year of the twentieth
century, the season following the great exposition in
Paris and preceding that to be held in St. Louis to
celebrate the centennial OF the requirement by the
United States OF the vast region OF the Mississippi
Valley included in the Louisiana purchase.
The date selected for the exposition is fortunate
one and gives ample opportunity for carrying out

be successfully accomplished if extensive preparations
made long before the time fixed for the OPEN

AN HABITUAL. CONFIDENCE MAN.

NJ Dan Burns it may be said that every new in
cident OF his career that comes to light adds to
~ his shame. He seems to have been false to
every trust imposed in him. whether private public
He has counted as sucker everything that came into
his net whether it the State, county, capital
list workingman.
To the disgracefu records of Burns in the manage
ment OF the clerkship of Yolo County, the Office of
Secretary of State and the Candelaria mine The Call
added yesterday another chapter from his career,
showing how he left in the lurch the miners employed
by the Napoleon Mining Company, dismissing them
without paying their wages, and even skipping off
without paying his hotel bill or horse hire.
The thus defrauded of what was due them are
rich enough to bear easily the loss which Burns
financial methods imposed upon them They worked
hard for their money, and they not only deserved it,,
but they needed it. They still in need OF it, while
the slick confidence operator, who retains it. is living
in clover with plenty of money for racing touts
and political obbers, but it seems for the honest
workingmen to whom he owes it.
1t is by such practices this Burns has made his
way in the world His path can be traced by the
slime he has left behind in his tracks. Every step he
has taken has inflicted a wrong upon some one and
left stain upon himself.
This is the man who now aspires to represent Cali
orna in the United States Senate and finds men base
enough to support him in his ambition. He is able
to to his aid host of allies who are not in
politics for health, for he to have money for
everything except to pay his debts. Common honesty
unites with common decency in opposing the i'm
pudent pretensions OF such man, and the working
men OF the State should through their organizations
take the part of honesty in the fight against the ma
nipuator OF the Napoleon Mining Company who has
shown himself to be that worst of all enemies of
labor: the dishonest employer who defrauds labor of
its wages.

when they entered the harbor of Santi-
ago were as follows: Therese, 556;
Oquendo, 4S7; Viscaya, 491; Colon, 567;
Furor, so, and the Pluton 50 men. When
the ships made the dash to escape, being
taken in the harbor, the total compile
ment of 2261 was 81 short, having been
killed in defending the city and 10 were
left sick in the hospital. OF the ,2227
remaining 1872 were accounted for as
killed and missing, 120 got ashore and
escaped to Santiago. It is claimed that

The Thames Iron Works and Ship
building Company of Blackwell. London,
has received contracts from the British
Admiralty to build two battleships Of
IA 900 tons each, at cost of over $1,000
900. The company is making arrange
ments to absorb the famous engineering
works of Messrs. John Penn & Sons at
Greenwich and Deptford, and will under
take the manufacture of the $4,000 horse
power engines required for these vessels.
This contract is the largest ever entrust-
ed by the Admiralty to a single firm,
and altogether the two battleships in

An accident which came near being Sc
rious happened to the British torpedo
boat destroyer Bittern last month while
going through her three hours trial in
the proximity of Maplin Sands. The yes
sci was running her sixth mile, when she
suddenly swerved from her course with
out apparent reason and headed directly
for the sands, 1t being low water at the
time. The violent change of direction
gave quite a shock to the destroyer and
brought nearly everybody on deck to
learn what had happened. Prompt re-
versaI of the engines just averted dis
aster, the vessel actually touching the
ground. The stokeholes had meanwhile
been opened and the boilers been eased
by way of precaution. A dockyard tug
came to her assistance and towed the
crippled craft to Chatham, where a pre-
Nliminary examination found the after part
of the vessel to be leaking, and she was
to be locked next day.
The following table shows the number
of ships, their tonnage and cost built
in British dockyards during the last nine
years:
