THE INJURIES WERE BEB100! Clear Weather Make the Accident Vn accountable The State' Date Stove In. Associated Press. ' San Francisco, May 20. A collision between two steamers occurred last night oft Point Reyes. The steamer State of California, while on tho way to this port from Astoria, with 100 pass' engers on board, collided with the the steamer Whitesboro, bound for up coast points. Fortunately ..the .night was clear and the vessels came to gether shortly after 10 o'clock, and at a time when few of the passengers had retired. Hence there was no confii slon. Considering that the night was clear and lights some miles distant were visible, it is strange that the col lision could not have been avoided, Just who Is to blame It Is somewhat difficult to state at the present time, and the accident will result in an in- vestlgatlon. The Whitesboro had her stern badly damaged and was forced to return to port. The State of Cal ifornla has her plates stove In from the main to the steerage deck. It Is difficult to state how the accl dent occurred, and the only reliable in formation on the matter is furnished by Captain Ackley, of the State of Cal ifornia in, his report to the Merchants Exchange, which is as follows: "At 10:20 p. m., May 19th, hauled around Point Reyes, from one-half to three-quarters of a mile distant; made out a steamer headlight one point on the starboard bow, seen with a night glass; made outthe steamer burning green lights, red light not visible; as she neared us I gave her two whistles to pass to left, which was duly an swered by two whistles; put helm1 to starboard, feeling assured to go clear of her; at 10:27 p. m. was struck on the starboard side by the steamer Whites boro, nearly head on, breaking In the plates from the main to the steerage deck. Stopped and lay by the Whites, boro for an hour and until signalled 'all right.' Then started ahead at full speed. The night was clear and light visible for four miles." It will require about $3,000 to repair the damage to the State of California, and at least $1,000 will have to be ex, pended on the Whitesboro. A GREAT FINANCIER'S OPINION, Repeal of the Sherman Law W1U Not Wholly Remedy the Situation. New York, May 20. The World' London special says: "Wm. Lldder dale, ex-governor of the Bank of Eng land, and probably the greatest bank ing and financial authority In the world, speaking of the financial crisis In Australia and the disturbed state of affairs In the United States, said there was absolutely no occasion, looking over the whole world, to believe that any large disturbance was at hand. He thinks the worst already past. "Next fall," he adds; "the United States will begin to get back the .gold which they have been exporting, then will be the time for England to exercise caution to avoid trouble." He says the currency system of the United States Is very defective and the repeal of the Sherman law would not wholly remedy the trouble. The In crease In currency,' he says, has not been great enough to keep pace with trie population and development of the country. . IMPORTANT NAVAL CHANGES Washington, May 20.

Commodore Erden, on being relieved of the command of the New York navy yard by Admiral Gherardl will raise the flag on the Chicago and prepare to go to the Eu ropean station which he will command. The Philadelphia will go to the Pacific In the place of the San Francisco, Which will become the flag-ship of the Nojrth Atlantic squadron. No vessels nor commanders have been selected for the South Atlantic. The Charleston will go to the Pacific, and the Baltimore will go to the Asiatic station, leaving the San Francisco, Mlantonomah, At lanta, Kearsarge, and Vesuvius to con stitute the home squadron. The com mand of the South Atlantic station will be given to some officer now on shore duty and It is believed that Admiral IP Walkeri will be given command of the Mare Island yard when his leave expires. NO FEAR OF TROUBLE. . Washington, May 20. Today, the Chi nese minister and official interpreter of the legation called at the department of state, and they were immediately shown into thet, secretary's private room where a conference ensued lasting nearly half an hour.- When Secretary Gresham waa asked for Information upon the Bubject he said that he could safely declare that there was no rea son to fear any trouble or outbreak either In the United States or In China, growing out of the Chinese exclusion law. Later In the day Chief Justice Fuller who has -shown much Interest in the outcome of the present Chinese situation, had an Interview with Secre tary Gresham. Secretary Carlisle to day that he would certainly enforce the law as to deporting the Chinese aa fast as the means at his disposal would permit. He Intended to begin with that class of Chinese who are in this country illegally, aa having come in contraven tion of the law of 1884.
