WEATHER CONDITIONS.
Weather Forecaster Harmon Says
They Are Not Favorable for
More Rain.

Weather Forecaster Harmon was I'm.
certain yesterday evening as to weather
probabilities on account of the peculiar
conditions which prevailed. He was in.
clined to think. however, that they were
not particularly favorable for a continu.
ance of the rain. The slightest change
toward fair weather would tend to make
it clear to-day.
II do not look upon the north wind
which has been prevailing this after
noon," said Mr.. Harmon, "as an indica.
ton that it would clear up There has
been scarcely any perceptibIe movement
to the wind and it has been shifting a
great deal. The best prognostication !
can make for Sunday is partly cloudy
with clearing weather.
THE present rain has extended from
the vicinity of Fresno and San Luis
Obispo north, but it has been light. The
heaviest rainfall in California was right
in this city, where about an inch fell. II
could hardly be designated as a storm.
There was a little disturbance in the at,
mosphere central off the coast of Ore.
gon. 1t has rained easily under condi-
tons that we would not always expect il
to rain. In the interior valleys of North
ern California only half an inch fell,
and the upper San Joaquin has not had
any rain up to the present time. It has
not extended beyond south of Fresno and
we want many such rains to give us q
good grain crop. 1t is encourag ing that Il
rained under the really unfavorable con-
ditionS that obtained"

ATTACKED BY FooTPAD.
Daniel Twomey Fireman, Assault
ed With a Club on Ellis Street

Daniel Twomey fireman employed on
engine a. is the latest victim of footpads,
and in all probability the fact that he is a
powerfully built man alone saved him
from serious injury and financial loss.
Twomey sleeps in the engine house on
Ellis street near Cough. He was going
home late at night, and when near the
corner of Ellis and Franklin streets was
approached by a ruffianly looking man.
who gruffly demanded money. Twomey
pushed him aside and passed on. He had
proceeded but a few steps when he was
struck a stunning blow on the back of
the head with a blunt instrument, pre-
surnably a loaded club. The footpad was
the shorter man of the two by some
inches, and the blow, while heavy one,
was not sufficient to fell the fireman, as
it was calculated to do. On the contrary,
Twomey faced around and made a right
hand swing at his assailant, but missed
him. The footpad, seeing his plans had
miscarried. took to his heels and ran
down the street. Twomey did not pursue
him, as he feared the man might have a
revolver. He was able TO give a good de-
scription of the man to the police, and
detectives are now looking for him.

CRAIG TO BE FREE.
Pardoned After Years of Trouble
Over Worlds Fair Difficulties.

On Tuesday John Craig, formerly as
sistant secretary of the California
Worlds Fair Commission, will walk out
of the County Jail free man. having
been pardoned by Governor Budd. After
waiting for six years the case against
Craig was brought up suddenly last May
when he and his attorney. Eugene n.
an Immediate hearing. In spite Of this
the jury disagreed, six voting for ac-
quittal. At the next trial a conviction
was secured as Craig's only witnesses
were not present. one being dead and
the other in the Klondike.
Witnesses of high standing in the State,
including county officials and police de-
tectives of Stockton, army officers, attor-
neys, a bank cashier and several others,
some fifteen in all, testified as to Craig's
high character, but as he had no one
to corroborate his story, he was convicted.
No one who had personally known Craig
believed him guilty. Craig IS to be re-
leased without having had to serve day
in States Prison.

there are at least a hundred famimes
solely dependent upon them for aid

The President agreed that the pledge
to grant independence to the island
should he fulfilled just as soon as the
United States had reason TO believe the
withdrawal of American troops would
be 10 the interests of the Cuban people.
The President thinks the prosperity
of the island is the main thing to keep
in view. He earnestly commended
General Lee for believing military pro-
lection should be continued there until
the Cubans should demonstrate their
Willingness to respect law, maintain
order and their capacity to conduct q
stable government of their own.
MILITARY PROTECTION.
The President is particularly graft
fled that General Lee has changed the
opinion formerly entertained by him,
that the United States troops should
Immediately leave Cuba, and now con-
ours in the view of the Administra-
ton that the racial and political pre-
JUDGES still existing in the island are
too great to permit the Cubans to be
left to themselves.
INTERVIEW COMMENDED.
The President said to an intimate
friend here to-day, whose sympathies
have always been strongly with the
Cubans in their struggle for independ-
ence: II hope you will read, IL you
have not already, General Lees inter
view on Cuba. 1t is strong and

to keep in mind just one sentence of his
which gives the key to the situation
there. 1t is this: The right to live,

The president may not make any re-
commendation to Congress on the Gu
ban question in his message to Con-
gress. but he will emphasize certain
facts covered by General Lees inter-
view which will enable members of
Congress and people generally through

Washington, D. c., Nov. 3.-Although
plans have not as yet been perfected
several Confederate Veterans in this
city are considering the proposition OF
erecting q monument to the memory OF
the late Southern hero, General Harry
Hcth, who recently died in Washing
ton, and was buried in Hollywood in
Richmond.
The ma tier will be brought to the at
tention of the various Confederate
camps throughout the country. 1t is un-
derstood that the subject will be dis
cussed at the next meeting of the Con-
federate Veterans Association in this
city.
Although never swerving in his loyal
ty to the South, General Heth was
highly regarded by the several admin
istrations and the officers OF the army.
The erection OF n monument to his
memory in Hollywood is meeting with
the approval and support of many OF
the government officials and the sue
cess of the undertaking, when regular
ly launched, seems assured.
