Great Waves on the Pacific.

A dispatch from San Francisco last night
says: All the coast towns of San Diego,
Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties
are threatened by great waves rolling in
from the Pacific, although there is no wind.
These waves began last night and have
been increasing in force and height, rolling
in at regular intervals like great tidal
waves.
Some waves are said to be as high as
forty feet, but this is probably eXaggera-
ton. They threaten the long wharf at
Hueneme. At Terminal Island the sea has
wrought considerable havoc, and hundreds
of men are at work piling up sacks of sand
to form breakwater. There is grave fear
of serious damage to the work of construct
ing the outer deep water harbor at San
Pedro Immense waves are sweeping over
the breakwater and ship masters lying out
side are uneasy lest their vessels drag an
Choir and be cast upon the rocks.
Several cottages are inundated at Long
Beach and at Ocean Park the pleasure
wharf has been damaged considerably,
and no one is permitted to go on it.
The authorities regard the present dis
turpance of the ocean as due to submarine
volcanic activity, as the whole coast is
volcanic. Weather Forecaster Meade
says that it is due to great storm be-
tween here and Honolulu which has piled
up monstrous waves. No volcano upheav-
al, In his opinion, could have caused the
regular recurrence of these waves

CONTROVERSY OVER NAME.
Dispute Over Post Office on Recently
Opened Reservation.

There We're recently filed with the fourth
assistant postmaster general two petitions
for the naming of a new post office in South
Dakota. One of the names suggested was
HerriCk, said 10 be in honor of the COVER
nor of OHIO, and the other Willett, after a
local citizen.
The otfire is located on the recently
opened Rosebud Indian reservation. and
the first petition received in Washington
was from the Willett people. Favorable ac-
ton was taken with this petition, it bear
ing the names of many influential citizens
of the territory to be served by the new
office, and the name of Willett was accord
jngly given by order of Mr. Bristow.
Then the petition from the Herrick peo-
pie came in. and nothing was done with it
except to place it on the files of the office.
There is now said to be some dissatisfaction
among the Herrick people. who assert that
the name Herrick was asked for in honor
of tine Ohio governor. An attorney for the
Willett faction called at the post Office to-
day and asked that the name be changed
to Herrick. but this the post office author
tiles declined to do, and it is understood
that. the matter will be called TO the atten-
ton of the President. In the meantime no
action will be taken regarding change.

REFUSE TO CALL OFF STRIKE.
Chicago Unions Cast Heavy Vote
AGAINST Surrender

A dispatch from Chicago last night says:
Having voted to continue the stock yards
struggle until better terms can be secured.
the strike leaders tonight are in quandary
to what the next move shall be. When
the result of the vote of the men, defeating
the proposition to return to work, was an
nounced today 1t was stated by the union
officials that a second ballot would be or
dered at once. Shortly after the announce
ment was made, however, the plan was
abandoned and efforts were begun to secure
another conference with the packers.
In this the strikers were unsuccessful, and
then a second announcement was made that
the order issued last week placing all meat
on the unfair list would go into effect to-
night. While arrangements were being
made to put this order into effect it was
suddenly discovered by some of the lead
ers that the allied trades conference board
would have to give their consent to the Or
der before IT could be enforced. and that 1t
would be impossible to put the manifesto
into effect tonight. as the allied conference
board would not be able to arrange for a
meeting of its members until tomorrow. 1t
was then stated that the central organiza-
ton would meet tomorrow at IL o'clock to
consider the question.
The following statement was given out
this afternoon by the butchers union:
1.-The vote of the organizations was on
a proposition to declare the strike off. Out
of 5000 strikers, 2O43 voted to return to
work, and 25,59T to remain on strike until
a fair proposition embracing arbitration
can be Obtained
Following the announcement that the
strikers had voted to continue the strike q
meeting attended by representatives of all
the packers was held at the offices of the
National Packing Company. What took
place at the conference Is not known, but
after the meeting it was stated by one Of
the packers that no opportunity would be
given the labor leaders to present prop
osition embracing arbitration, as was be-
ing planned by the strikers.
The efforts of patrol wagon full of
policemen to dispense a crowd of thou
sand persons, made up of strikers and
others, who were watching two men at
lacking an escaped steer with knives,
caused riot near the stock yards today.
The police attacked the crowd with clubs
Some of the crowd fought against the po-
hcemen. but all were finally put to flight
