Thu Bland aril Oil company In to go into thu ship building buslnesa in California. It will begin by mnklng its own vessels and will later become a competitor of the shipbuilding trust. Tlm company has estahlUhed Its shipyards mid tho head- liinrtiirs of Its fleet nt Point Richmond, ncross thn bny from Ban Francisco. Thu company hna decided thnt it will have n lleut ol oil-carrying vessels on this coast, mid after much surveying and Inspection, a general superintend ent has la-en brought from tho Kast, nod a shipyard has been located. When tlm Standard Oil company made Point Richmond tho alte of Its oil refinery and the terminus of lta pipe Him from tho Kern county fields, it Wain 0 necessary to have a shipyard to care for lta licet of oil-carrying vessels to repair them and mnko new ones when needed. This fleet docs not con sist of ilmply thu ships used for carry Ing oil to nml from coast ports, but of vesnrls that call at Oriental ports and island ports that stretch from Alaska to Panama and from Point Richmond to Yokohama. FRONT GREATLY EXTENDED. Made Pottlble by the Uto of Wlreleia Telegraph System. Ounihu Pass, Manchuria, Aug. 20. Intelligence of the constitutional grants by the government has been received by the army, and general Information relating to Portsmouth affairs continue to reach hero from three to ten daya late. Since the Japanese recnnnoltured tho Russian center about 2o or 30 miles, August 10, which resulted in retalia tory skirmishing as well as tho clu-ck-mating of a wide movement of consid erable IkmIIcs of troops throughout threo days, nothing Important has oc curred. During thu long quiet thero have been reinforcements to Itoth slues, giving tlio theater of war a much changed appearance. Tho front lma been greatly extended, nmdu possible by the usu of wireless telegraph, and ln-causo of tho unexampled alio of tho armies the character of tho third atago of thu war, whether It lie active hostil ities, demoralitatlon or the garrisoning of contested territory, will bo compli cated. Tho relative positions of tho two armies ia comparable to that of a year ago, and tho country facing tho Japan ese ia almost identical with that which confronted them at I.lao Yang. Sleep of Four Months. Now York, Aug. 20. Medical Inter ests throughout tho country have had their attention directed to a remarkablo case of catalepsy in Yonkors, where Charles Canepl, 8 years old, has been in nn unbroken franco like sleep for more than four months. On April A last while whirling round a lamppost he became dlxiy, fell to the ground and struck on the back of his head. Two days later he complained of pains in tho head and within a few minutes lapsed into a sloop of unconsciousness from which he has not awakened. 8trlct Quarantine at Cairo.

Great Britain, Franco and Germany are ready to grant recognition and tho prosldont will probably follow suit. A BIG CONVENTION Commercial Oodles to Meet and Discuss Railroad Rates. PLAN TO OFFSET RAILROAD TALK Demand of Nation for Prompt Legis lation Will Da Impressed Upon President and Congress. Chicago, III., Auk. 20. The execu tive committee of tho Interstate- Com merce Ijiw convention has practically decided to hold a national convention In Chicago early In October with a view to formulating further plans to Induce congress to pass remedial rail road legislation. K. P. llacon, who is chairman of tho committee, ban notified tho various local commercial organizations which aro memlrtirs of thu convention that an early session may bo looked for In this city. Thero was some doult In tho minds of the committee whether an other gathering would lm nef"ary, but, In view of thu fact that tho railway ed ucational bureau claims that the danger of legislation has passed, Mr. Jlscoll believes that the situation should Imj dlscusred, Thu convention is composed of be tween .'160 anil 400 commercial bodies and hoards of trade throughout the country, and was the chief- Instrumen tality in starting the preterit agitation for rate legislation. No plans have been formulated fur tho pro)osud ses sion, hut it is proposed to have free discussion of tho situation, to receive reports of various committees regarding woik already accomplished, to make additional plans to Impress the presi dent and congress with the necessity of Immediate legislation. One of the members of tho committee said; "Wo tlo not projtose to let tho agita tion cool off. The country ia aroused over tho railroad situation, and every one save tho railway olllclala agrees that some legislation ia essential. The convention realizes that tons of litera ture containing spurious arguments aro Iteing sent broadcast over the country, purK)rtlng to tell jMoplo why no furth er legislation ia needed." ALL ALONG COAS1. Yellow Fever Cases Being Scattered Far and Wide. New Orleans, Aug. 20. Ono of the deaths from yellow fever today is Bister Mary KngelliMU, of the convent of Perpetual Adoration, and her case was not reported until death. It Is the first from that Institution, though there have been leveral cases In that neigh borhood. l(eorti from tho country tonight are: Patterson, six cases; Klghth ward of Jefferson parish, ono case; Shrewsbury, ono death; Hanson City, two cases and ono death; Donaldson villu, ono caso (this Is a new develop ment and is traced to Port Harrow, across thu bayou); Port Harrow, one case; fit. Row, threo cases; Pecan Grove, one caso; Good Hope planta tion, ono death; Wavelaml plantation, south of Patterson, six cases; Iiellesoln plantation, west of Patterson fourcases; Gulf port reKrta ono new case, and Mississippi City none. Natchex makes no report of new cases, the people deciding to await the arrival of an expert before accepting the statemont that thero was yellow fever thero. Kscatawpa, Miss., near Missis sippi Point, reports four cases. Dr. Devron, in charge at Leevlllo, in a report on tho situation there says: "I found things worse than Dr. Stark could have seen them a few days be fore. Thu people were in a panic. The) had no morphine, no doctor, and they were dying from too much exjerl mentlng with different remedies. I found that more than half the popula tion of 500 people is sick. They aro illstrncted, and many aro on the verge of lunacy from fright and grief." Lift Boycott On Cotton. Washington, Aug. 20. Of particular importance to Southern cotton spinners and weavers Is tho announcement by Minister Rockhlll today that tho Chi nesu boycott on American piece goods is about to Iks lifted. Cabling from Pekln, the minister says that his infor mation ia to the effect that the antl American boycott as a whole Is gradu ally subsiding. The Chinese merch ants of Shanghai dealing in piece goods are strongly opposing the boycott, and taking steps which Minister Rockhlll believes are likely to break it. Sold Under the Hammer.

Publication of Roosevelt's Proposition Would Force Envoys to Agree Portsmouth, N. II., Aug, 28, In mi authoritative quarter it is learned to night thnt tho latest suggestions offered U) the ernperora of tho two warring powers m to nn amicable adjustment of tholr differences also were communi cated simultaneously to tho envoys of Russia and Japan. This action on the part of the president was taken in order that no Ksslblu ground for offenae could be taken by the plenipotenti aries because of Ida direct appeal to the emerora. While tho terms suggested by the president are not disclosed, it is known that they were framed on broad hu manitarian lines. It Is permissible to say, in tho words of tho authority re ferred to: "If the civil lied world could know at this time the precise nature of tha proKsltions made to Itussla and Japan by President Roosevelt, ft would seern that the force of the public opinion of the world would induce tho plenipo tentiaries and their governments to pause and consider seriously the result before breaking off finally tho present conference without an agreement. In deed, they might scarcely dare face the world's opinion by refusing to accept, in principle at least, tho suggestions offered by tho president." WORST MONTH NEAR. September Has Always Had a Bad Record for Yellow Fever. New Orleans, Aug. 28. Except In 18S3, September has been the month yielding the largest number of fatali ties during visitations of yellow fever and the Federal authorities are there fore taking steps to maintain their present control of tho situation. Sep tember frequently brings increased pre cipitation, causing stagnant pools of water, the overflow of cisterns and de struction of tho effects of oiling. An Incrose in deaths over the past few days waa recorded in the report of tho past 24 hours, but waa regarded as without significance, most of the vic tims being among the foreign classes, and two of the deaths having occurred yesterday too late to be included In the report of that day. Dr. White today telegraphed to Dr. Heber Itoyce at Memphis the result of the investigation of the cose of the wo man ill with yellow fever, whom be believed to have been infected in Mem phis. On a report of the Marine Hos pital service to this effect, Jackson, Miss., and a number of other towns, have Imposed quarantines against Memphis. The Memphis authorities are reported to have expressed indig nation over the report. STARVATION IN ANDALUSIA. Famine Reduce 200,000 Spaniards to Desperation Through Hunger. Bevlllo, Spain, Aug. 28. Heartrend ing reports continue to reach the pro vincial authorities from tho outlying famine stricken districts. The latest reports received are from Osuna and Almongla, tho respective mayors of which notify tho authorities that their resources are exhausted and that they are unable to further assist tho fam ished laborers and the women And children, as the distress Is too acute. At he! J a the population has looted the bakers' stores. The mortality among infants and Aged persons is attaining terrifying proportions, and in many localities the working people are living on roots. Tho government has organised public works on a small scale, employing about 000 men, but this is a mere drop in the bucket of misery, as a moderate calculation shows that 200,000 are out of employment. Finns Seek Homes In Free Land. Guthrie, O. T., Aug. 28. Dr. R. A. Bhotelowitx, a wealthy physician of Holslngtore, Finland, is in Okalhoma to study conditions for information of his countrymen, whose distress under conditions imposed by the Russian gov ernment is causing many Fins to seek America. Dr. Bhotelowlts said the de sire to find a new home existed for the first time among worthy citixens. He said if suitable land could be obtained thousands of his countrymen would emigrate to America, and settle in the Southwest. Completing Trans-Mexican Road. Ban Francisco, Aug. 28. William Roeslter, a planter, arrived here from Manxanlllo, says that work has begun, after a delay ol 12 years, on the con necting link on the railroad that will reach from the Atlantic to the Pacific across Mexico. Thu link stretches from Collnui to Tuxpan, a dlstanco ot only 45 miles, It will be tho first railroad connection between tho largo city of Gunadlajara on the Atlantic and the Pacific coast. Barracks Are Burned. Canton, 0 Aug. 28. The United States barracks at Westlawn cemetery, where la situated the late President McKlnloy'a tomb, was destroyed by fire yesterday. The origin is unknown. The flames spread so rapidly that sol dlora sleeping in a room in the barracks wore able- only to save personal effects. Twelve guns and 000 rounds of ammu nition were burned, Exploding cart ridges Dent bullets in every direction. WIRELESS IN NAVY. UNCLE SAM PUTTING NEW DIS COVERY TO PRACTICAL USE. Hrstcni offJrnt Value In Tlim of fence, bill in Time of Wnr It In Declared It Wo Did Now Jl InlUpnt)l-JCiiilp-plnu tha Iliittleshlp, Wireless telegraphy now Is to the naval service what the laud lines uro to the army. Although Its use but a short time ago was wholly unknown, It Is now regarded as Indispensable. When It was demonstrated that wire less telegraphy could bo employed to iidvantago a comprehensive system was projected for the navy, which Rear Admiral II, N. Manncy, chief of thu Itureau of Kqulpmcnt, Is rapidly establishing. The scheme upon which he Is working contemplate, making It posslblo for ships of the nary to b l:i communication with shores of the United Htates and Its insular posses sions and with each other at the groat- WIRELESS HTAllO.t AT CAl'JC COD, WAS. est posslhlc distances nt which wire less messages may bo sent A chalu of stations extending from CaH? Ellrabeth, Me., to the Caribbean Is already In practical operation; also stations on tho Pacific coast and at Cnvlte In the far oway Philippines. It U the purpose, too, of the bureau ulti mately to make It possible for a war ship anywhere In the West Indies to be within telegraphic communication with a homo station, which means with Washington. The equipment now being Installed generally permits of communication with dependable reliability between warships at sea and between ships and shore for a distance of 125 miles, whllo communications hare been suc cessfully carried on In the naval ser vice for a distance of 22S miles, and messages have been overheard by sta tions at a dlstanco of orer -100 mile. Hut a short time ago the commander of a fleet was able to communicate di rectly with vcisels at no greater dis tance than flvo miles, the dlstanco at which signals may he read with reli ability. Ono officer Is uow assigned especially to the Iiureau of Equipment to give wireless Installation his special ateutlon. That officer at present Is Lieut B. 8. Robinson, whoso expert knowledge of wireless qualifies him for the work. All the newer ships of the nary hare been equipped with wireless appar atus, while the work of Installation on the older ships of the nary has been In steady progress, so that In a short time all the larger rcssels of tho nary, at least will be fitted out with the apparatus now In use. A most Interesting project is that which contemplates connecting Now Orleans with tho Isthmus of Panama by wireless. This will necessitate tho erection of two powerful stations at New Orleans and Colou. New Orleans was selected becauso thero Is a clear seaway between tho two points. The distance Is about 1,400 miles, and mes sages sent from one to tho other will be flashed all the way across tho Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean 8ea. Ne gotiations aro now pending for the necessary apparatus. Krery confidence Is felt In the success of tho project The first message to be sent to tho department at Washington from a ship at sea came from the cruiser Colorado. Bho was coming up the coast, and when 100 mile south of the lightship at Nantucket, her captain sent a mes sage directed to the department an nouncing his position. It went by wireless to Nantucket, and from there to Washington over land lines. This Illustrate) the possibilities of commu nication between the naval authorities at Washington and ships off the coast at distances which could not be n-ached a very few years ago. A pe culiar Incident occurred In connection with the Colorado's message. The operator of the wireless station at the Washington Nary Yard heard the mes sage going from the Colorado to the lightship and telephoned tbo fact to tho department. When the Dolphin started for Charleston recently to tako the Secre tary of tho Navy, then .Jr. Morton.and a party from tho latter place to Porto ltlco, tho department received a ro port after her departure that a wreck lay In her course. A wireless nicssago from Cape Henry ordered sent by tho dopartmcut was recolved by tho Do! phln apprising her of the danger, thus putting her on tho lookout. The advantages of wireless have been demonstrated In tho manouvers of the North Atlantic fleet, when or ders were, sent to vessels of tho com mand that had gotten far beyond sig naling distance, Aa tho fleet was com Ing north ono of the vessols picked up by wireless the battleship Illinois, which waa outslda tha Virginia capes, and an extcnslro oxchnngn of message was carried on, tlio ships being 100 miles apart. Homo Interesting reports havo coma tothadepartment from tlio Washington Navy Yard. Tho operator thero hn overheard message being sent from Capo Cod for the benefit of ships at sea, and has overheard communica tions passing between Itoston and near-by points. These Instances now Attract but little attention from tho ex perts at tho department because they expect such things to bo dono and ex pect even greater thing from tho wireless system now being established by tho navy. Tho wonder of naval officers now Is: How did they ever get along without wireless? DEADLY PINE CONE BOMB. aierrelouilr Ingenious Mechanism Made by Ilarcelona Anarchist. Tlio small ball of metal In tha shape of a pine cone picked up by M. Char Igny in Paris a few minutes after the attempt against Alphonso XIII and President Loubet was made, was real ly one of tho famous bombs sent to France by tho anarchists of Ilarcelona. M. Chavlgny, happening to see thl cone, little thought he was In the pres ence of a deadly machine. Heing a great collector of relics, he evidently thought It was a piece of grille work torn off by tlio explosion that had Just happened, and put It carefully In Ida vest pocket M. Chavlgny went to call on a friend In a tavern situated on one of the boulevards. Ho told his friend about the explosion and exhibited the piece of metal he had picked up and so carefully thrust Into his pocket The head of a bolt covering tho lower aperture of the pine cono drew tho friend's attention, and they started to unscrew this bolt An end of waxed thread, holding In place a glass tube, appeared. Then M. Chavlgny realized that thl ball of metal was not the result of the explosion, but a bomb Itself. With the greatest of precautions the head of tho screw was replaced and ten minutes later M. Chavlgny placed the pine cone on the desk of M. Pes chard, the police commissioner of tho Galllon quarters, who Immediately In formed M. GIrard, director of the mu nicipal laboratory. M. GIrard unscrewed the bolt, and by pulling the waxed thread drew forth two small glass tubes, four centi meters long, filled with concentrated sulphuric acid. These tubes wcro plunged Into a mass of fulminate mercury, and wcro tub rixE co.tE noun. maintained vertically by two small fragments of metal. Tho director of the laboratory had ereryone racate the building. M. GI rard, baring first taken off a small quantity of fulminate of mercury (for all that was necessary was ono grain of this dangerous product to kill a per son, nnd this machine contained 1,400 grains), had a pall of water brought to him. lie then proceeded, with tho greatest of precaution, to plunge tho bomb Into tho water. Sheltering hlm solf In the lnclosurc of the porte-cochere that would shield him In case of an explosion, the noted chemist let tlio dangerous bomb slide Into tbo water, rendering It harmless. It Is bellercd that tho bomb waa laid In tho grass by an anarchist who feared arrest and who did not want to bo caught with tho bomb In his pos session. A-nnrlomn Gambler. Sir Thomas Dewar, In recounting bis Impressions of this country, says he was especially Impressed with tho uni versal Interest taken by Americans In all sorts of contest. In Illustrating this characteristic he tells of seeing a ragged nowsboy one cold afternoon with hi eye glued on tho display In a baker's window. Sir Thomaa slipped a dime Into the little fellow's hand. The boy exclaimed: "Say, If dla ain't luck! Pre been wUhln' for a cent and you gimme a dime." "What did you want the cent fori" aked 8lr Thomas. "I wux goln to buy an extra to aeo what won. I've a dollar on de third race." Effects ol Early Training.
