Major Gaynor la progressing favorably ' toward recovery from the bullet wound la his neck, according to ail Information obtainable from hospital physicians to- ;iilgh No symptoms of blood poisoning have appeared. It la announced, and the danger of unfavorable developments la hourly becoming less. The physicians Issued the following bulletin tn the Mayor s condition: ' "The Mayor passed a restful night.

Mayor Oaynor were said In all the churches of the country. Preaching at the grounds of the Cathedral of 8t- John the I'lvlne. Her. William Wilkinson said that Bishop Greer had very prop erly asked all the clergy in the dio cese to pray for the restoration of the Mayor to health, and to voice the In cite; nation of all light-minded people at the cowardly assault from which he suffers. lr. Wilkinson said In part: "A free people should make deadly assaults upon Its officers a capital crime. Christian men and cltlsens of all classes should rise In resentment against lawleasness and against the tarrying of concealed weapons. With three Presidents dead by violence, and Mayor Oaynor alive by a miracle, the church of God should teach and preach obedience to law. Leon A. Harvey, preaching In All Houls Unitarian Church, drew a paral lel between the characters of Mayor Oaynor and the man who shot him. In every Catholic Church la Brook lyn today, prayers were said for the recovery of Mayor Gaynor. In the F.plscopal and other Protestant churches In the borough where services were held prayers were said, and many of the pastors referred to the attempt on the Mayor's life. Mr. Oaynor's record In office was lauded. One rPays for Aswtlant. Special prayers for the recovery of Mayor Gaynor were also offered at all centers where meeting were held by the Rvangelirtlc committee of New Tork tlty. Rev. Lea G. Broughton. of Atlanta, ua.. at the Fifth-Avenue Presby terian Church, concluded hie prayer for Mayor Gaynor with a plea for Gallagher, the would-be aeaasln. "We must not forget the raaa who has caused this great calamity." he said. "We pray that he may be made to see the great wrong he has done, that hie heart may be touched by sorrow and that he may turn to God for forglvenesn" In an address made before a political club ex-Coroner Julius Harburger an nounced that he would present a bill to the next Legislature making an attempt on the life of a public official punishable wtth death or life Imprisonment and bar ring the defence of Insanity. Dr. Roeewell Park, one of the sur geons who attended President McKln ley during the eight days before an assassin's bullet produced death, ar rived today on the White Star liner C'edrlc after attending a meeting of the British Medical Association In London. Ir. Park wss one of the most eager readers of the wireless reports received aboard ship telling of Mayor Gayaor's condition. "The Mayor ought to get well as far as I ran tell from what I have heard." he said, "the wounds sustained by President McKinley and Mayor Gay nor were entirely different In their nature and not a parallel can be drawn. within the next J4 hours the physi cians attending the Mayor. In all prob ability will be able to determine whether their patient will have to pass through a siege of blood poisoning or whether he will pass the crisis without the pulson taint- Tomorrow la the critical day. Six days have elapsed since the bullet ploughed almost through the mayor's neck. Great Interest now centers around the report which Dr. George Sullivan will make tomorrow night, following his examination of the Mayor's blood taken from the patient tomorrow. If Dr. Sullivan should report the presence of poisonous bacilli. It is believed that the Mayor will be well able to stand the operation If It Is decided cpon. a Gallagher Still Bitter. The Mayor's assailant. James J. Galla gher, now occupying a cell In the Tombs, still maintains a don't-care feeling for his act. He refuses to talk, except to say as he did Immediately following the shooting, that the Mayor was the cause of his losing his job. Gallagher has long been known as a nne-tlme Tammany worker, later becom ing a member of the Hearst Independence league, then talking socialism, though all the time clinging to a watchman's 1 Job In the dork department of the city. The latest development In the tragic rase came to light today when It became known publicly that an editorial dipped from the New Tork Evening Journal, one of the Hearst papers, had been found In one of Gallagher's pockets when he was arrested. The knowledge of this fact has started talk that Gallagher may have been Incited to his act by continual reading of such writings In the Hearat papers as that found on his person. The editorial was on the subject, "1'nlforms f.r city minor employes to keen them honest. If that Is the Idea, put uniforms on the big fellows. The little fellows are honest enough." The outcome of the case will be watched with great Interest by the peo ple of New Tork. all of whom are bitter oxer the attempt to assassinate the Mayor. A Hoy's kj-say on Birds. Philadelphia Times. A little scholar In one of the lower grades of a grammar school wrote this as a composition about "birds-: "What la a bird. Birds la a nice thins; to see and a ntce thins; two here them singing specially la the spring time when they commence to sing. It Is a lively thing two here. What la the first thing that the birds commencing to do in the spring. It Is a neat of what Is a nest ma le. The nest Is made with straw, hay, eta. what the birds do after the nest Is down. Why they lay eggs la t ho. and after a few weeks they have a young ones, coming out. and after a month the young ones will start out for there way." ;; y nX ' . .

TUotinr In a mild form was resumed early this morning with the efforts of the traction company u move ua The nollce. while not displaying any energy In suppressing the disorder, were especially active In their treatment of the strikebreakers. One woman, brought here as oook lor the strikebreakers, was arrestee; on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. She had In her possession a revolver, but Insisted she would not use It unless necessary to protect her life. She waa subjected to torrents of vile abuse by the strikers and "sympathisers" as the nolle took her to the station with more ceremony than the occasion called for. In early morning riots, one man was shot and five others were badly beaten by the strikers. In each case the police arrived too late to do more than arrest some strikebreakers whose chief offense was that they bad been spectators or had been beaten by thugs. The electric lines between this city nd Dayton were tied up tonight, the com pany withdrawing Its cars before dark, fearing their destruction and probable loss of life in attacks under cover of darkneas. A few cars were operated tn the morning by clerks and train ais- pstchers. but their experiences on one trip usually sufficed for the day. Following two attempts last night to dynamite the carbarns, closer guard waa established around these suburbs today. Mayor Marshall has made no call for the return of troops, but the Fourth Regiment Is held In readiness. The Mayor expects tomorrow to re sume the guarding of cars by the auto mobile system, having the policemen who refuse to ride on the cars drive alongside them tn automobiles, thus preserving the dignity of the police and affording the cars and . their patrons a show of protection. The Mayor-also hopes that 2000 cltlsens will volunteer for guard duty, thus avoid ing the "disgrace" of calling for troops. The traction company Is firm In Its stand and. says It will not yield to the demands of the demagogues, even to make political capital for the Mayor and those barking him. The public generally Is disgusted with the actions of the poltce. and there Is an Insistent demand that every man who had sworn to do his duty In protecting life and property, and who refused to do either, be Immediately dismissed from the force. It Is altogether likely, after the strike Is ended, that the Mayor will be forced by public opinion to take some radical steps along this line, as the taxpayers have lost faith In the police force. Strikers continued their activities to night and the police were kept busy responding to riot calls. A woman was hit by a stone and seriously Injured while riding on an East Side car. Eight more policemen Joined the police mutiny against riding on cars. The strike wss extended at Springfield because the. company officials refused to reinstate nine out of IS men recently discharged.

The heavy timber, covering 35.000 acres 50 miles north of Boise near Placerville, is a raging furnace. The situation be came so serious that Lieutenant T. M. Knox, stationed at Boise Barracks, was ordered out with troop L this morning and reached the scene of the fire to night. The troops and settlers may be able to control the flames. The plant of the Llsoon Mining Com pany, valued at 120.000, the buildings of the Blue Bell Mining Company, and other plants In the Coeur d'Alene forest and along the Clearwater River have been burned out. Reports from Bird Creek on the St. Joe River, the Pipe Creek country. from Troy, Grangevllle and the Nes Perce reserve, are to the effect that the fighters are gaining ground, although millions of dollars' worth of timber has been de stroyed. Near Sltles a number of settlers were burned out. Some of them are now surrounded by fire. Fears are enter tained that rescuers will not be able to reach the women and children In time to save them.

The recovery In the stock market continued last week, al though losing some of Its force. Some of the events accompanying the two weeks' recovery which were unfavorable in themselves were to be reckoned as caused by anticipation of the previous decline. Such were the Government re ports on cotton snd grain crops, which confirmed the fears of heavy deteriora tion. The more Immediate factors of weather conditions were favorable to some Improvement over the view of the Government reports. The Immediate banking position offers little ground for solicitude. The great bulk to which the New Tork surplus re serve has attained makes surface show ing of actual plethora. Gold engage ments In London were uninterrupted in srtte of this showing snd currency still flowed from the Interior into New Tork bank reserves. The persistent stagna tion of the bond market in face of the expanding bank surplus shows the spirit of caution prevalent. Current reports of further price reces sions and of Intended further curtail ment also Influenced Judgment on the trade situation.

IN C1AK Bark-Laden Craft Derelict Off Cali fornia Coast Mate Is Hurled From Bridge, but Escapes With Only Slight Injuries. POINT ARENA, Cal., Aug. 14. Four men were killed late last night when the boilers of the steam schooner Phoenix blew up at sea about ten miles north of the Point Arena light bouse, off the Mendocino coast. Two of them. Chief Engineer Thomas Houston, of Berkeley, and Second Mate Andrew Rasmussen, of San Francisco, reached shore with the survivors of the vessel, but died this morning from their burns and other Injuries. The mangled bodies of the other two men, Chris Hansen and William Nicholson, firemen, of San Francisco, are tonight In the demolished engine-room of their waterlogged ship as she floats at sea, a derelict. No Warning Given; The accident occurred last night shortly after 9 o'clock. The Phoenix, loaded with bark from Needle Rock, was making her way slowly southward against a brisk wind In a choppy sea. Hansen and Nicholson were stoking below, and Houston and Rasmussen were' chatting at the engine-room door, when suddenly there was a blinding flash and a roar from the direction of the boilers. The mate and the engi neer were hurled to the floor toward the fireboxes, and Chief Officer Louis Larson waa torn from his post on the bridge and his body was sent hurtling through the air 30 feet and to the deck load below. The sailors forward, and Captain Peter Halvorsen, seated In his cabin, were tossed about In their quarters by the force of the explosion. Instantly It was realized by all on board that the boilers had burst, and as quickly as possible all hands were mustered. Pumps Are Manned. With her bow well out of water and careening to starboard, the Phoenix was settling. Pump crews were sta tioned and some of the sailors were sent Into the engine and boiler-rooms to discover whether the ship was afire. The men, working amid the tangled wreckage and hissing steam, came upon the prostrate forms of Houston and Rasmussen, who were carried to The deck, still alive, but fatally in jured. Nicholson and Hansen were never seen after the explosion. The skyrocket distress sign attracted Captain Stltt and his crew, of the Point Arena lifesaving station, and the res cuers put off in the lifeboat for the steam schooner. They returned at mid night with Rasmussen and Houston and several members of the crew, leav ing Captain Halvorsen and the others aboard the vessel. At daybreak the captain and those who had stayed with him made their way through the breakers to the shore In the ship's boat. Vessel Cannot Be Beached. After making every effort to beach the Phoenix, they were forced to aban don the- vessel at 6 o'clock this morn ing to save their lives. An effort was made by the tug Hercules to pat a line aboard the vessel today, but the heavy seas made this Impossible. As darkness fell tonight the Phoenix was making her way, ungulded, down the coast, kept afloat by her deckload. When last seen by the lookouts she was ten miles below the Point Arena light and was standing about two miles out off Fish Rock.' Houston and Rasmussen died before noon today. They were attended by Dr. A. B. Pitts, of Point Arena. Cap tain Halvorsen and the 13 survivors of the crew left here today on the steam schooner Brooklyn, 'bound for San Francisco. Larsen was only slightly hurt. The only others on board to receive in juries were Eric Olsen and Ole Mfchel sen, both of whom sustained lacera tions and contusions about the legs and arms.- OREGON IE IS VICTIM EARNEST A.
