Smnrr, general agent of the Southern Pacific Company, reports that there is almost total Buspen!on in the iblp- ment of the resin crop. " The raisin erowers and Eastern com mission merchants are not able to agree on terms," said Mr. Smurr, 44 and that has brought about a condition of affaire never before known in this state. This year the raisin men conbined and tried to send no more consignments to East ern agents, thus preventing glutting tiie market. Eastern buyers objected, but the growers would only deliver raisins 'free on board,' so that Eastern men must buy in California and pay the price demanded by tbe producers, rracticai' ly the entire crop of the State is con trolled by the combine. The situation is critical, and one side or the other must soon- give way. it looks as u the raisin growers had the best of the contest, and that they are almost sure to win." More Industrials Released. 8anta Babbaha, Cat., September 25. Fifteen "Industrials," who were ar rested last June at Bare tow and Impris oned in the Hani Barbara county jail on sentence by Judge noes of Los An geles, were released to-day. They had served 100 davs. twenty days being de ducted from their four months' sentence for eood behavior. As they are honest and willing to work, the supervisors ap proDriatea $100 for their assistance. All the men started out for work, most of them having jobs In sight. ' From Flttebnrg to Taeoma.

FOUND BY A SPIRITUALIST Slater Attributes His Discovery to the Spirit of Hla First Wife, Bat tbo Po lice's Claim Is More Material Meet Ing of Husband and Wife. San Francisco, September 28. Dr. Thomas E. Tynan of Modesto, the cap! talist who disappeared October 16, 1892, and for information of whom Mrs. Ty nan offered a reward of (2,000, returned to the city this morning. Dr. Tynan came from Reno, Nev., and immediately upon his arrival went to the Grangers' Bank. The two years' absence of the doctor has wrought much change In his appearance. His once tall and massive figure is now shrunken and stooping. Many of his old friends and business ac quaintances were in the bank to meet him, and he greeted them in an absent minded sort of way and acted generally aa one who was in a dream and sur- Erised at nothing. When asked where e had been all this time he said in Bos ton, and refused to say anything further. The meeting between Mrs. Tynan and her husband was remarkably common place, and no emotion was shown by either. Mrs. Tynan is said not to have seen ber nusband since his mysterious disappearance, and was dressed in deep t 1 ; 3 A .1 mourning iur uib auppoBeu ueam. Dr. Tynan is the heaviest property owner in Modesto. He was also a di rector of the Grangers' Bank in this city and well known to people all over the IaasttAji fr-ksa at stmAnrr wb-f rtAtn Y a Y a ai ruuin 4 SrVIUV tATMIVa fUIVU TTUVIU AAV ASSM7 fcrGCU a familiar figure for years, his large wealth, his prolonged vigorous strength and business capacity having made him conspicuous, lie was over 75 years of age when he disappeared. October 16 he was in the Grangers' Bank in this city, and then there was paid over to him tbe sum ol fo.uuu. from tnen un til now be has been supposed dead. In July, 18V3, his wife offered a reward of (2,000 to any person who should furnish information that he was alive. No such information came. What was tempora rily supposed to be his body was report ed sometimes in one place and sometimes in another." The detectives, however, insisted that they bad traced Tynan to Sacramento, where he bought a ticket to New York under the name of Thomas S. Stanley, but farther than this they could not trace him. His wile searched for many months for him, and finally concluded that he was dead. On the showing made Judge Minor of Stanislaus county decided that he was dead. John Slater, a local Spir itualist, gave to the Grangers' Bank the first authentic information about Dr. Tynan a few days ago. He said that the missing physician was in Reno, and asked that some one be sent with him to Ueno. Accordingly Henry McCormack, who is connected with the bank, and who knew Dr. Tynan, went to Keno with Slater.' The identification was complete. Slater said that he knew Dr. Tynan, whom he had met east of the Rocky Mountains. As to finding the doctor Slater attributes it all to the spirit form of Dr. Tynan's first wife. He says: " May 28 1 was writing a letter in my suite of rooms in the Clarendon Hotel in Boston. It was a letter to my wile. It was about 7 :30 o'clock. Suddenly a woman's form stood over me distinctly as could be. ' I'm Rose Marvin Tynan,' it said. Go to No. to-night, sure, and you will see my husband, Dr. Thomas E. Tynan.' I went immediate ly. I did wait to finish my letter. The number was that of a well-known boarding-house in a central location, not more than twenty minutes- waia irom my no tel. The street and number I have prom ised not to reveal. When I rang the belli asked for Dr. Tynan. They told me he was not there ; but while 1 was talking he came to the top of the stairs and spoke to me. I took him to the ho tel, and we talked togetner uniu alter midnight. Then he went away, and I made no effort to restrain him. For three weeks I saw him occasionally. Then he left Boston, and I returned soon after to California. I saw Mrs. Tynan, but she would not believe that I had seen the doctor. She believes it now. Early in August I went back and found the doctor again. We went to New York together, and Monday, the 17th instant, we left there, bound this way. We stopped one day in Chicago and reached Keno, where X lelt vr. Tynan last batur day." Slater, it is understood, has the prom ise of (6,000 and expenses. Mrs. Tynan would not fix any sum until Bhe saw the doctor, and this amount was agreed to to-day. Dr. Tvnan will now take steps in the Stanislaus county courts to have himself declared a being in the flesh, as his estate, valued at (200,000, has been distributed among his heirs. The San Francisco police are skeptical about the Spiritualist's story, and bint that ut. Tynan was induced to disappear by some means unknown to tnem. vr. lyn&n himself is an ardent believer in Spirit ualism. Captain Lees stated this after noon that tbe police ascertained three months ago that Tynan was living qui etly in Brooklyn, N. Y., on,the (5,000 he had taken with him. He had been ad vised by some Spiritualists in this city to go away. The police, it is said, in formed Tynan's relatives of his where abouts, who opened communication with him, and ine resuu nnauy waa ma re turn. - , , Wants Another Match. Louisville, September 27.

The Beport Conies Direct From Official Chinese Sources. Shamohai, September 27. It Is re ported that the native officials here re ceived news late last night that the Jap anese attacked the Chinese forces at An Chow and Yi Chow simultaneously, and were repulsed at both places. Yi Chow is probably the same as Hai Chow on the Chinese coast south and west ot the changtung peninsula. ANOTHER ABM STARTED OCT. .London. September 27.- A diaoatch from Tokio savs the second JaDar.eae army tor neia service mobilize at lii- roscbima and consistinir of 80.000 men under command of Field Marshal Count Oyama, embarked yesterday amid in tense enthusiasm.

To-dav'a advices from Tokio that the second Jap anese army of 30,000 men sailed from Hiroshima yesterday is regarded in of ficial circles here as a first move in the advance on the Chinese capital, Peking. The Gulf of Pe Chi Li, which the dis patches give as the probable destination of the army, is the entrance to the river leading to Peking. It is said the Taku forts at the entrance to Pei Ho river are practically impregnable, owing to a stretch of mud fiats around them. It. is not believed therefore any advance on Peking would be made up the river, bat 30,000 men will be landed at some other port, whence a short overland march would take them to the walls of Peking. A circuit of the forts is the strategic move advised by a United States officer of high rank, who has made a study of the proposed Invasion of China. BEHEADED FOB COWARDICE. London. September 27. The Times to-morrow will publish a dispatch from Shanghai, saying that Captain Fong of the Chinese turret ship Tsi Yuen has been beheaded for cowardice in the Yalu fitrht. The disDatch also savs that the Chinese cruiser Kwang Kai became stranded on a reef near Tali en Bay while endeavoring to make her escape from the Yalu battle and was afterward blown up by the Japanese. This makes a total loss of Sve ships to the Chinese, includ ing one ship which was rammed bv the Tsl Yuen while trying to ram one of the Japanese vessels. XI HUNG CHANO MUST GO. Wu Ta Chang to be the Soeoessor of the Viceroy, Shanghai, September 26. Li Hung Chang will be superseded as Viceroy of China by Wu Ta Chang, late Governor of Ha Peh. Lord LI, late Chinese Min ister to Japan, has been degraded. Yu Lu, the Military Governor of Moukden, will succeed Li Hung Chang as Superin tendent of the Northern trade. Four Imperial Princes are watching events in the Emperor's behalf at Tien Tsin. The massacre of foreigners at Peking is re garded as Imminent The legations have asked that blue jackets shall be landed to protect them. One hundred and eighty thousand men, mostly rabble and some ill-armed cavalrv, have assembled to defend Moukden. A battle is expected before a fortnight has elapsed. The Japanese warships are scouting in the Gulf of Pe Chi Li. Naval experts say that the Chinese vessels will never ap pear on the scene again. Big Damage Butt. Tacoma, September 27. The city of Tacoma late this afternoon brought suit against the Tacoma Light and Water Company to recover (4,000,000 damages for false representations, alleged to have been made by the defendant and Theo dore Hosmer, C. B. Wright and I. W. Anderson, its president, stockholders and agent respectively, in selling to the city its light and water plants. The purchase was maae Juiy i, iom, mr 750,090. The city claims the plant was worth but t750.000, and that the other (1,000,000 waa obtained as a result of misrepresentations. It is claimed that certain springs, which the company said would furnish 10,000,000 gallons of water daily, do not flow a quarter of that quan tity. 7 ','f The Interstate Fair. Tacoma, September 27. Ever since CasBasBa's great California exposition band opened its engagement at the In tarntatfi Fair last Saturday night the daily attendance has been growing. Never did any musicaiorgsnizauwuouu such an instantaneous and remarkable Buccess at any exposition as this band has here. Its engagement has marked a new era in the history of the exposi tion. As predicted, the most successful portion of the whole season is to be the fast two-thirds of it. The last two spe cial days, British Columbia day, Satur day, and f orresters' oay, juonuay, were both remarkably successful ; far more so than the preceding special days. Variety Aetor'e Suicide. Spokane, Wash., September 27. Harry C. Ripley, a young man and a variety actor and playwright, committed suicide in the Windsor hotel this even ing by taking an overdose of morphine. He had been living with Nora Marsh, but her husband came here and she re turned to him. This made Rigley de spondent and is supposed to have been . the cause of the suicide. He left a letter for j, c. Ripley of Hartfort, Conn. GEORGE COLGATE The Remains of the Deserted Cook Found at Last GNAWED BY WILD ANIMALS. It Is Found That His Desertion by Young Carlla Ws Cowardly In the Extreme Thigh Bono and One Log All That Bemalned of the Body. Missoula, Mont., September 26. The Missoulan to-morrow will contain a sensational story of the recovery and burial of the remains of George Colgate, the deserted cook of the notorious hunt ing party headed by William E. Carlin, son of General Carlin, late commander of the department of the Columbia. The discovery was made August 23 by Lieu tenant Elliott eight miles below the spot where the desertion occurred on Clear water river. All that remained of Col gate's body was a thigh bone and one leg, which was mangled and gnawed by tbe wild beasts infesting that region. It is presumed the rest of the remains were carried away by the animals into the mountain fastnesses. At the same spot also were found the matchbox, fishing lines and other articles identified as Col gate's property. The remains were in terred in Lower Hot .bprings, on the middle fork of the Clearwater. Elliott was sent out on this mission by the present commander of the department of the Columbia, to which official he makes a full report, there being many points tending to prove that Colgate's desertion by the Carlin party was cowardly In the extreme. THX ONLY MONUMENT. Spokane. Wash.. September 26. In addition to press dispatches sent out word has been received here that Lieu tenant Elliott and his party are now working their way out of the Clearwater region by way of the Cceurd'AIene coun try, and will proceed at once to report at Vancouver Barracks. The last rest ing place of the unfortunate cook and companion of General Carlin's son was marked by a little mound of earth and a headstone, consisting of half a good sized tree, upon which was carved the words, "George Colgate." Lieutenant Elliott says that the story circulated by Kelly, the trapper, was a base fabrica tion. SHK WANTS DAMAGES. Sx-Queen of Hawaii to Commence Snlt Against Unelo Sam. San Francisco, September 28. It is stated on what appears to be good au thority that the errand of H. Y. Wide mann of Honolulu to this country is for the purpose of commencing a damage suit against the United States on behalf of the ex-Queen of Hawaii. The amount of damages to be asked for is said to be H0O.OUO. and friends of the ex-uueen declare that this government has been instrumental in mulcting her to fully that amount. Her claim is that the Erovisional government could never ave been established and herself de posed had it not been for the unwar ranted action of a recognised agent of the United states, the captain of the warship Boston, which action was sub sequently formally disavowed by the President. Whatever Widemann's er rand is, his departure from Honolulu was kept a profound secret until almost the moment of sailing, when he sudden ly appeared on the dock and secured a passage. Within a few days be will go on to Washington, where he does not deny he has business ol importance to transact. CANADIAN CANAL. The Great Enterprise la Now Practically Completed. Sault Ste. Maris, Mich., September 26. Water waa let into the Canadian ship canal last night. Since then it has been filling at the rate of nine inches an hour. The water reached the lower level to-night. The work is standing the test of water well. Among the prominent persons who were present were John Haggart, Minister of Railroads and Ca nals : Collingwood Schrieber, his depaty. and J. B. Spencer, chief draughtsman. There were no ceremonies attending the letting in of the water, ah that remains to be done to complete the work is to place the gates in position, install the machinery for the operation of them and remove the dams at the upper and lower entrances ot the canal. It is expected that the great enterprise will be ready for navigation within a month at the latest The water was let into the canal to enable the contractors to float the fates on pontoons and put them in place, he completion of the Canadian locks is regarded as an important event, and the Canadian government will celebrate the formal opening of the work in a fitting manner. Relief for Drought Sufferers. Lincoln, Neb., September 26. Gov ernor Crounse to-day determined to ar range some system of relief for sufferers in those parts of the State where drought was severe. Preliminary work was com pleted to-day. The old relief commis sion of 1890 will be revived. Colonel Lunden, his secretary, has been author ized to begin work, and other members of the organisation are being communi cated with, lhe committee has not solved the problem of where the funds for relief work are to come from, but some of the farmers in the extreme west ern counties are on the verge of starva tion and something must be done at once, beverai oi these counties have comaoittees in the East soliciting funds. MAT RAISE AN ABMT. The Late San Salvadorlan Refugees on the Way to Mexico. San Francisco, September 26. When the steamer St. Paul sailed for Mexican . ports to-day she carried as steerage pas sengers General Bolanos and Captain Bustamente, the San Salvadorlan refu gees. When Ezeta left the two here Sunday it was with a promise to meet them again on the Salvadorlan frontier. Both men accepted the situation, and appeared to follow their leader on the first opportunity. Bustamente received (40 from his chief, with instructions to meet him in Mexico. To Bolanos was intrusted over (6,000. His destination is Guatemala. With that sum, it is said, Bolanos is to begin to raise an army and be prepared to co-operate with his chief. They took passage in tbe steerage in or- aer to save as mucn money as possible. Mexican Consul Coney accompanied Bo lanos and Bustamente to the steamer, and introduced them to Captain von Helms. Instead of being pnt into the ; steerage they were given a cabin on the upper deck. Near their quarters was the stateroom of General A. Martinez of the Mexican army. Martinez is a great friend of the President of Mexico, and he and the men from San Salvador at once fraternized. Martinez is one of the leading Generals of the Mexican army. It was said on the St. Paul that he was sent here to render whatever assistance he could to the refugees. From present appearances Ezeta will make Guatemala his base of operations. During the last war San Salvador com pelled Guatemala to come to terms, and that country has been seeking a chance to even up ever since. With an army organized in Mexico Ezeta might march into Guatemala and there join Bolanos, who would have prepared the way for him. Then upon favorable opportunity they would invade San Salvador. The Salvadorian government professes little hope of having Jnan Cienfuegos returned to it. Attorney Pierson, who has repre sented the government of San Salvador in the extradition proceedings here, said to-day that he did not think Cienfuegos would be returned. He has no appeal except to the President ; but strong in fluences are being brought to bear in that quarter for his release. Mr. Pierson said there is nothing in tbe rumors that Ezeta was in danger of rearrest on other charges, had he not left the country. The government bad taken the only steps against him it intended to take. BOGUS MONET ORDERS. The Career of a Defaulting Ex-Posto fllee Inspector. Los Angeles, September 26. Andrew Jackson Laird, a defaulting ex-postoftice inspector from Atlanta, Ga., for whom the . whole country has long been searched, was arrested here to-day by a postoffice inspector from Chicago. Laird was a United States Marshal in Georgia before he became a postoffice inspector and a politician of considerable promi nence. Not until his successor was ap pointed did it become known that he had embezzled government funds. Laird was not arrested, however, but was permitted to leave Atlanta ostensibly to get money to make up the shortage. From that time until his arrest he became lost to the authorities. When he left Georgia he took a bundle of money orders signed by his daughter, who is postmistress at La Grange, Ga. With these bogus or ders he succeeded in addressing fictitious letters and postoffice money orders to himself at various points. It was through these orders that his arrest resulted. The money orders were invariably for (100. Laird was engaged in the insur ance business here under the name of A. Jack, and became identified with local politics. HER SYMPATHY. She Regrets She Cannot Relieve the Dis tressed Strikers. Oakland, Cal., September 86. T. J. Roberts, President of the American Rail way Union, recently wrote to Mrs. Ice land Stanford in behalf of the strikers who had been reduced to destitution on account of inability to secure work. He has received an autograph letter from Mrs. Stanford in reply, regretting that it is not in her power to relieve the dis tressed strikers. She expresses her ob ligations to the gentlemen who escorted her from the mountains to Oakland, and says Bhe sympathizes with the strikers, who, she knows, were led away by ex citement and did not expect to do the company wrong. Mrs. Stanford says she has made application the railroad officials to replace the men dismissed for their connection with the strike, but re grets that her requests have been ignored. She hopes that in time the men will be restored to their places, and promises to continue her influence in their behalf. The Pullman Assessment. Springfield, 111., September 26. Governor Altgeld to-day addressed the the State Board of Equalization on the assessment of the Pullman Palace Car Company's property. He showed many figures and tacts concerning the 'compa ny's manner of escaping taxation in this and other States and Canada. The com pany, for instance, gave in (36.000,000 as its capital stock, when it should be 161.- 000.000. The Governor begged the board to make the proper and just assessment of this property in justice to the people ana me state. The Graphic's Advice. London, September 25. The Graphic in an article on the war in the far East says that in view of the activity of the Russians at Vladivostock and elsewhere the Eastern fleet under command of Ad miral Fremantle ought to be reinforced.
