HONOR
BENNINGTON DEAD
Men of Umbria Place Hand
Some Floral Piece OH
Grave.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 21.-Tribute to the
memory of the victims of the Benning-
ton disaster was given to-day by the
officers and the men of the Italian

ing the captain, all the petty officers
and half hundred sailors went to Fort
Rosecrans, where they were joined by
Colonel Mcclellan and Captain Scott

Six sailors bore 1t to the common
grave. 1t was five feet long by three
and half feet wide and consisted of
white roses, maidenhair fern and white
carnations, tied with ribbon of heaviest
brocaded silk five yards long and eight
inches wide, on which in letters of gold
were the words Royal Italian Navy
SIS. Umbria, to the Victims of the

grouped about the grave, while the cap
tain of the Umbria briefly expressed the
sympathy of the Italian navy and
spoke of the heroism of the dead and
wounded.

"sIade In Germany

A Continental correspondent writes
to the Commercial Intelligence: Germans
are laughing up their sleeves at the
law of England requiring the mark,
Made in Germany, on all goods i'm
ported into England from that country
So much so in fact, that they are US
ing it as an attraction for their manu-
factures with a certain amount of
success.
"This is how 1t is done. German
commercial travellers procure samples
of the most inferior quality of an
English-made article which they take
pains to remark, Made in England
They then arm themselves with sam
pies of the highest quality of the same
article made in Germany These sam
pies are presented to customers with
the remark: Examine the quality and
the prices and choose for yourself The
customer sees at once the superiority
of the German-made article and tho
game is played.
Il have known Of this being done not
only all over Europe, but even in
Great Britain ITSELF in the very teeth
of British competition. This illustra-
ton of the keenness of German com
petition shows how wide awake our
commercial traveller should be. and
how every means should be exerted to
overcome such tricks of the trade

Facts About Time.

Time is hard to define. According to
the best poets time has a heavy foot,
a tooth, forelock and breakable legs.
It travels in divers PAGES; 1t ambles,
trots, gallops. runs, rolls and stands
still; 1t has whips; 1t crops roses. So
far it seems like a horse. But it has
a torefnger, also a reckless hand that
writes wrinkles. Dhis explodes the
horse theory. Furthermore, time flies.
Hence, "a bird of time Time is mon
ey; being also a bird, time is a gold
eagle, perhaps; money is the root of all
evil, and procrastinaton is % a chicken
thief, (2) a good thing. The wickedness
of time is beyond question. 1t is vim
dictive at wasted time" mourns King
Richard, land now doth time waste
me-" Time waits for no man. Time shall
throw a dart at thee. Time robs us of
our joys. Time will tell Time is un-
thinking. Time possesses its debtors.
The time is out of joint, and well may
it be. considering what nuisance it
is. Time is a sea, sandy beach, a
bank, a shoal and an abysm. Also it
is whirligig. which seems odd when
we recall that time is quiet as a nun.
Time is good. bad, high, fine, rough,
hot Christmas, spring, waltz common
and lovely. Among good times may be
mentioned quitting time and dinner time.

volve for forty-two consecutive weeks
around the entire country. The Cali
fornia Theater will present the first
of these shows on Sunday, August 27.
The heads of the theatrical syndi-
Gates in New York have had the for
nation of the new deal in hand for
the last two years and this spring 1t
was brought to a conclusion. New the
aters have been established in many
of the large cities of the East. Middle
West and the Pacific States in order
to accommodate the new line of attrac-
tions.
Burlesques, on the same lines which
made the old Gayety Theater of Lon
don, England, famous, will be the fea-
lures of the new wheel"
Prominent comic opera singers and
dancers and comedians have been en-
gagged and the ranks of the show girls
and chorus singers have been ran
sacked in order that the companies
forming the "burlesque wheel may be
suitably equipped.

M'COYS NAME
IS MENTIONED
Eminent Local Musician May
Fill Newly Created Chair
Of Music. at Berkeley
IS SURPRISE TO HIM
Says He Would Deem Offer
Great Compliment, but De-
nies knowledge of Matter

The name of w. ]. Mccoy. whose
musical compositions have won him a
high place among the students of the
art of melody, is being mentioned in
connection with the chair of music at
Berkeley, and 1t is said he is the one
who is to fill that chair. Mr. Mccoy
denies that he has applied for the po-
sition or that he has been approached
in the matter but many who are
prominent in the world Of music de-
clare that if the place does not go TO
Walter Damrosch, the great New
York leader. the San Franciscan. whose
compositions have won the praise Of
the critics. will fill it.
The musicians of the State are watch
ing the turn of affairs with great inter-
est. The making of this appointment is
to them the most important event of the
year. Ever since the creation Of this
chair by the last Legislature those of the
musical world have been concerned about
who would fill 1t. The matter Is one Of
great importance to the musicians, and
has attracted much attention among
those of the profession in the East as
well as those on this coast
The mention of the name of Walter
Damrosch as professor of this new chair
has attracted attention to Berkeley from
musicians all over the country. By
persons who are on the inside re-
garding this matter, It rs reported
that Damrosch would accept the place
had he a direct offer The prestige it
would give him, considering the world
wide fame the University Of California
has gained, would compensate for the
financial loss he would experience by re-
moval from the East, especially when 1t
t..
greatly minimized by the additional
leadership of an orchestra in San Fran
cisco and lecturing at various cities on
the coast
1t looks as If the appointment rested
between Mr.. Damrosch, the Eastern fa-
vorite, and Mr.. Mccoy. the San Fran
cisco favorite. The latter maintains a
dignif1ed silence and says he knows
nothing about the proposition to put
him in the chair. Just the same. local
Bohemia, by which he is greatly ad-
mired. is much excited over the asser-
tion that he is to be chosen.
"Ths Is all news to me-" said Nc
Coy when asked about the matter. II
can say positively that I have made no
application for the place and am not
a candidate. The appointment Is in the
hands of President Wheeler. If he
should select me I would deem it a
great compliment. Would I accept?
Well, 1 should not answer that question,
as the position has not been offered to
me"
What DO you think Of Mr.. DAM
rosch," Mr.. Mccoy was asked.
II think it wise selection on the
part of President Wheeler and I sin
cerely hope Mr.. Damrosch will accept
the position"
The musical world awaits the an
nouncement of the appointment ex-
pectantly.

CARTER WILL
RETAIN OFF ICE
Governor of Hawaii, After a
Conference With President,
Decides Not to Resign
BACK FROM OYSTER BAY
While in New York He Closes
Up a Deal for the Sale
of a New Issue of Bonds

Governor G. R. Carter of Hawaii re-
turned yesterday from the East, where
he was in conference with President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. He is ac
companied by his wife and daughter
and they are staying at the st. Fran
els Hotel intending to depart on the
steamship Mongolia for Honolulu.
The principal purpose of the Gov
ernor's visit TO oyster Bay was to talk
with President Roosevelt relative to
his plans for relinquishing the posi-
tion of chief executive of the islands,
but the conference resulted in the
Governor changing his intentions. In
speaking of the matter yesterday he
said:
My visit to the President was of
most pleasing nature, for he is an ex
ceedingly interesting man, and he used
his persuasive powers to the end that
am going back to Honolulu to re-
sumo my duties as Governor We dis
cussed the affairs OF Hawaii thorough
ly and 1 was pleasantly surprised by
the great amount of information the
President has regarding the territorial
Government, showing how keenly he
watches public interests"
While in New York the Governor
closed up the deal for the sale of the
new issue of Hawaiian per cent
bonds, which will refund the older 3
per cent issue. Although the bonds
were offered to the highest bidder and
1t was expected that they would be
taken up by some OF the New York
firms that had shown considerable in
terest in the refunding project, the
highest bidder was Banker William r.
win of Honolulu, who purchased the
entire amount offered. that is $500, 900.

When the Wire Ia Broken.

Have you never wondered how, when
a wire Is broken or damaged, say between
London and Birmingham, or between
England and Ireland, the operator. sit
ting in his office. can tell exactly where
the accident has occurred?
The explanation is very simple 1t re-
quires force to send electricity through
a wire. The longer the wire is the great
er is the force required. This force is
measured; but instead Of calling II
pounds. as in measuring the pressure in
a boiler, electricians call the units Of
electrical force ''ohms."
Suppose wire between two offices is
150 miles long and that on a stormy night
it gets broken somewhere. The teIegra-
pher knows that when the wire was
sound 1t took just 2100 ohms to send a
current through, or fourteen ohms per
mile. He now finds that he can send a
current with only 700 ohms. He divides
700 by fourteen and finds that the break
in the wire is fifty miles from his end

TELLS Of WORK
ON YUBA RIVER
Captain w. W. Harris De-
scribes What Is Being Done
for Impounding of Debris
MUCH WORK PLANNED
Rich Lands of Sacramento
Valley TO BE Protected
From Disastrous Floods

Captain w. w. Harts, secretary OF
the California Debris Commission. gave
an illustrated lecture at the Academy
OF Sciences building last evening omthe
Improvement work that is being done
on the Yuba River by the United
States Government and the State of
California. The Yuba. Feather. Bear
and American rivers have been a con-
stant source of annoyance and serious
injury to the Sacramento Valley be-
cause OF the great quantity of debris
they have carried into the valley, fill
ing the navigable streams and causing
overfows that destroyed fertile lands.
This condition has not been helped
by the hydraulic mining, which up to
2 few years ago was allowed without
hindrance. washing down large noun
tains and allowing the debris TO run
uncontrolled into the rivers and val
ley.
A few years ago a law was passed to
stop this wholesale destruction of the
rivers and all hydraulic mines were
shut down except few that obtained
from the Debris Commission a permit
TO build dams and retaining walls TO
catch the debris and keep it out of
the rivers.
These dams and retaining walls were
lecture and the construction, failures
Nnd successes were put forth in an
sAe way. Most of these dams, as eX-
piSQed by the speaker. were made of
pfush and rocks. which would allow
the oeris 70 settle and the water TO
run Owe the top. A great many Of
THESE oaNs proved unsuccessful and
We're washed out during the food
time.
Ine Auba River has suffered more
than any othet stream in regard to
debris and to tbs the Government has
turned with he1ing hand.
Captain Harts tod of a large dam
which is now in progress of construc-
ton across the YubA about sixteen
miles above Marysville, and when COM
pieteo viii be forty-two feet high,
have spillway OF 500 feet and will
cost IN the neighborhood Of $500. 900.
Work began on this dam last sum-
mer, but owing 20 the short season of
low water only eight feel was con-
structed. This summer another ten
feet VIII be completed and the work
viii be carried on until the lam is
finished.
Surveys are now being made on
the Bear River and then the commits
