the Mayflower at 10:3O a. m. yester
day. He had been away for 48 hours
an / had witnessed the target practice
of the North Atlantic feet off Cape
Cod.

dent throughout the day and in thu

Wine GRAPE CROP OF
California DAMAGED

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 2.-Accord-
ing to statements from authoritative
sources the expectations of vineyard
lists that the present season would real
ize the largest wine grape cropyin the
history of Southern California have
been shattered by the wave of almost
unprecedented heat which struck this
section of the state Saturday night
and continued with but moderate
abatement until Monday evening.
Thousands of tons of choice grapes,
say the growers, have been scared
within tire past two days and will be
good for nothing but brandy making
or raisins. The picking of these fruits
was in progress but when the hot wave
struck without warning hundreds of
pickers quit the fields and refused at
any price to return to work while the
heat lasted. As high a temperature
in the streets as 10 degrees in the
shade was reached Sunday, and yester-
day the mercury quivered around the
hundred point. Last night it grew
appreciably coler and the indications
are that the hot spell IS broken.

MAKES A PERFECT SCORE
Washington Churchman's Remarkable
Record With Rifle.

Seattle, Oct. l.-Artificer A. H.
Ralston, of Company D, National
Guard of Washington, made a perfect
score at 200 yards in the International
Pacific Coast rifle matches held here
Saturday. He beat the record of 40
out of possible 80 made by Sergeant
S. j. Perry, winner of the Kings med
al at Bisley, England, in 1904, that
has served since to excite Canadian
and English admiration.
The Washington rifle team won
the international match, with score
OF 1870, to the score of 1854 made by
the Canadian team from the Duke of
Connaught's Own Rifles. The Ameri-
can team won in rapid firing at 300
yards, beating the Canadians 439 to
377. The Canadians, in slow firing,
at the 600, 800 and l,OOO-yard ranges
had slight margins over Washington,
while the guardsmen from this state
won the 200-yard slow firing match.
Private Potter, of Washington, won
the individual championship, with a
score of 22l. Washington wins the
Canadian club cup in the match. The
guardsmen's team was the one that
shot at Seagirt recently in the national
match.

prints the following:
"James J. Hill has stolen a march
on f. H. Hartman and is getting
ready to build into California. Not

he has secured quietly valuable point
on the bay shore for railroad termin-
ais and is figuring on the cost of con-
struction work. with the avowed pur-
pose of having San Francisco bay on

tied up the Bay Farm island property
in Alameda county, which will be
filled in and extended for terminal
property, and he is also engaged in
planning ferry system across the bay.
"Hill is coming to San Francisco by
way of the Pitt river, which affords
him the only means of entering the
state and crossing the Sierra Nevadas
on an easy grade. His surveys from
Boise carry his proposed new route
into the southeasterly part of Oregon
to Lake View

TAFT TAKES REINS|
PEACE negotiations IN CUBA
have FAILED.
Refusal of Majority of All Three
Political Parties to Attend Con-
gress to Act on Palma's Resig-
nation Leaves Island Without
Other Responsible Authority.

Havana, Oct. 1 With far less os-
tentation than accompanies the access
sion of municipal administration,
the government of Cuba WAS formally
taken over Saturday by William H.
Taft, secretary of War of the United
States, who in proclamation clothed
in kindly and diplomatic tone, indi-
Gated the policy he would pursue and
declared himself provisional governor
of the island.
Promptly at noon, Gov. Taft, AS
sistant Secretary of State Bacon and
Capt. Mccoy, Gov. Taft's aide de
camp, called officially at the palace
and paid their respects to the retiring
president.
Ignoring President Palma's message
to congress on Friday, in which he
wrongly interpreted the mission of the
American mediators, Gov. Taft spoke
kindly to Senior Palma, to whom he
said the people of Cuba owed an un-
question: BILE debt of gratitude.
President Palma's brief reply was
devoted entirely to an oppression of
relief for the opportunity of shifting
the burden of guiding the tempest
uous republic to the representative of
nation strong enough to enforce con-
troll over it. The fact that the govern
ment had changed hands, from posi-
ton of absolute independence to the
restraint of temporary protectorate,
was received by the masses with utter
Indifference.
Most of the thoughtful Cubans,
while they feel a certain senistiveness
over the loss of the islands sovereign
ty, are inclined to hope that the Uni
ted States protectorate will be brief.
