AH FIIANCISCO , Juno 15. [ Special Tcto-
grntn to THE HKB. ] The club circle * of San
Francisco arc nil stirred up over it litllo affair
nt the Bohemian Club , which happened at a
banquet given to Lieutenant Curlln , ot the
United States steamer Vaudalln , wrecked In
the Samoan storm. The different news
papers received Invitations , and , In response ,
the Alta sent John Isaacs , n .reporter , who
went In ordinary dross. The nffdlr was full
dross , and Isaacs was not Invited to the table
or to a sent anywhere. Ho reported the
affair to his chief , and n spirited correspond *
cnco took place between James I , Hoblson ,
managing editor of ttio Alto , and Peter
HobcrUon , president of the Bohemians and
also n member of the Chronicle
BtiilT , In which tha former classed
the _ _ treatment of tits reporter ns
' contemptible snobbery. " The fight extended -
tended to the Press club , and the discussion ,
pro und con , has been lively.
San Francisco has shown that she do-
sorvcs n reputation for generosity by sub
scribing over 575,000 for the relief of the
iTohnrtawn uud Seattle sufferers , of which
$50,000 has been sent to Johnstown , $20,030
to Scattlo , and over 5,000 yet remains In the
hands of the treasurer. Other towns
throughout the state have done as well , proportionately -
portionatoly , a number donating funds al
ready raised for the Fourth of July and fore
going the celebration.
A controllng Interest In the Muiao con
cession , n largo grunt of mlclng land in
Lower California , waa sold this week ton
Chinese syndicate , which owns mines on
the Columbia river. In Peru , and nt
several other localities. The minors nro
located In ttio valley of the Real del Castillo ,
nbout eighty miles southeast of Sau Diego.
The syndicate will build Humes , erect mills
and smelters , and expects to have from ten
to twelve hundred coolies nt work within
sixty days. Besides the mining country , It
1ms secured oxtcnslva Halting rights off the
Mexican coast , uud a largo lot of tillable land
for truck farming.
Southern California , and particularly San
Diego , has been thoroughly aroused , for
Bomo days , over the prospect of getting the
Peninsular and Oriental line of steamers to
malco that city Its American landing place
for the Asiatic trudo. It was supposed , at
first , that Sprockets' brother was Interested
In the proposed change , but J. 13. Alexander ,
manager ofSpreckles1 southern California
business , says During Brothers & Co. , tbo
London banker. ) , who are heavy stockhold
ers In the Santo Fo railroad , have been try
ing to bring about the change , In order to got
overland freight for that railroad.
Already gubernatorial candidates arc
looming up for 18'JO. Governor Waterman ,
who was elected lieutenant-governor In 1880
nnd succeeded to the executive olllco by the
death of' Governor Hartlett in 1887 , has
announced that ho would again bo a candi
date before the republican convention. There
Is n bitter opposition to him , and the repub
lican candidate will probably bo W. W.
Morrow. , .
Thcro has been almost an epidemic of
murders , suicides and attempted murders
this week , tliere being no loss than eight
since Monday. As usual , the over-present
coolie gets in with his knife for a goodly
fihuro of them , one having carved his white
employer bccnuscd ordered to do some
washing ,
For years the Insurance companies doing
business on tbo coast have had a trust by
which rates luivo boon outrageously high.
Desporuto efforts have been iniulo to get the
legislature to pass a mutual insurance bill ,
but every session the trust has como down
with Its sack nnd Insurance for the people
was defeated. Kccently the trust has been
trying to discipline some of Us moinbers.who
have shown a disposition to kick over the
traces , and the result is that some of the
bribery work of the octorms upon the legis
lators Is coniing out , and the local papers are
making a vigorous investigation. Should
tbo trust bo broken , it will result in the
saying of over $3,030,000 a year to the insured
of tbo coast.

Too Mttoli Djrnninlto lined nt the

JOIIXSTOW.V , PH. , Juno ! B.-VTho sunshine
has succeeded the morning showers and this
is the first bright day Johnstown has seen
for a week. The Concmaugh is swollen nnd
tbo high water is an advantage , ns It carries
away a great portion of the Impurities lodged
along the river banks. But two bodies were
recovered up to noon ,
Major Phillips' dynamiters Imvo had
Johnstown in & Btato ot nervous terror all
day , nncl this evening General Manager Ful
ton , of the Cambria Iron company , dictated a
forcible protest to Governor Bonvor , stating
the mills nnd o Dices of the company were
being ruined ; that Adjutant-General Hast
ings had paid no attention to two requests for
Its discontinuance , and that the state
would bo held responsible for any
further damage dono. Before the mes
sage was sent , however , Adjutant-General
Hastings had Issued nn order to Major Phil-
"Ips to discontinue the blasting. Major Phil
ips has been engaged since Wednesday In
lowing out tbo wreckage In tbo channel of
bo Conotnaugh nbova the Pennsylvania
'ullroad stone brldgo. Ho was anxious to
mvo a passaKo for the water by this oven-
ng , ami to that end put In u flvo hundred
lonnd blast of dynamite at noon. The blast
vns placed under the buildings , ono
f which was lying upon tlio other nnd both
f them covered with logs. The explosion
vos terrillo. The next blast , not being
'laced ' so deep , was a 400-pounder. This ono
lid nil the damage. Tito report was awful
nd the strongest houses In the city trembled
Iko leaves. All the glass was blown out of
he windows of Odd Fellows hall. In the
nmo neighborhood the rear wall of a half
vrccked Catholic church fell upon
ha Baltimore & Ohio tracks , block-
ng them , The chimneys rattled
down all nbout and dishes wcro broken In
liousus In Kornvlllo , half u mile away.
Asked about the matter , Major Phillips said :
"Wo have used only 2,000 pounds of dyna
mite to-day. The charges will not bo so
heavy hereafter. 1 had no Idea wo were do
ing any damage. So fur ns I know no per
sons were injured. "
Adjutant-General Hastings , to-day , ro-
cn.lved a letter from Vlco President Morton ,
laying that on his return to his country
lomo ho found that his little girls , from
sight to fourteen years of ii/o | , had been
turd nt work since the tcrriblo disaster at
Johnstown In making articles of clothing
"or the poor homeless children who have
.urvlvcd the Hood ; that ho forwarded ,
to-day , 127 articles of wearing apparel
inado by their own hands or
purchased with their own money , with some
it their dresses , and that his children will
'col greatly obliged if you will cause the
clothing to bo distributed among the little
itiiTcrors by the recent calamity , for whom
.hey fool the deepest sympathy.
The opening of the wcdgo line raft nbovo
.ho stone bridge , to-day , was an engineering
'eat. For ten days several hundred men
had boon nt work upon the heterogeneous
mass , but only about sixty feet of channel
bad boon cleared when , on Wednesday ,
Major Phillips , of Lowlston , nnd a force of
dynamiters were put at work. Six acres of
solidly packed wreckage , wedged between the
river banks by a hydraulic force that cannot bo
estimated have In thrco days molted away.
Largo frame houses , hundreds of logs nnd
monster trees wcro tangled up and bound
together with wire and iron bars brought
down with the flood. The scene , this after
noon , when the great mass moved down the
river , was a remarkable ono. The crowds
.hat lined the shores nnd stood on the now
'unions stone bridge raised a shout that was
icard Hie length nnd breadth of the valley.
The west bank of the Concmaugh Is again
a furnace of llro to-night. The wreckage
torn up by dynamite to-day , was piled up
and the torch applied and the whole valley is
'Humiliated.
Measles nro very prevalent among the
children , and the Bedford street hospital
has two cases of pneumonia. Bronchitis
and diarrhoea nro very general among the
workmen. Tuo is no sickness of consequence
quence among the militia.
Front tbo most reliable reports obtainable
the number of bodies recovered BO far is
,533. Fourteen bodies were taken out to-
dav. H.
Dr. Free , of the state board of health , in
spected the river towns as far down ns Sang
Hollow to-day. The worst discov
ery made was a largo number of
dead horses nnd cows floating
n the river. The dynamite explosions have
brought the carcasses to the surface. They
are in a bad state of decomposition. .
Eight carloads of lumber arrived to-day.
Rough sheds are already being erected in

Governor Taylor of Tennessee RP-
fuses to Surrender Him.
Governor Taylor , ot Tennessee , has re
fused to comply with a requisition upon him
from Governor Thayer for the arrest of
Moses Levy , a fugitive from Justice , who is
now sojourning at Union City in that slate.
Some months ago the iirm of Cornbloth
& Pelzer , merchants at Norfolk , failed under
questionable circumstances. Believing that
their action was premeditated , nnd had as its
motive a deliberate purpose of defrauding
creditors out.of just dues , they were arrested
and coulinod in the Madison county Jail.
The authorities , it seems , had reason
to believe that Levy was Implicated
with them in their nefarious scheme , und
nn ofllcer came hero searching for him. It
was learned that ho had gone to Tennessee ,
and located in Union City. Governor Thayer
was at ouco applied to for a requisition on
Governor Taylor , which ho issued , and
the ofllcor to whom it was delivered
loft immediately for Nashville , expecting , of
course , that ho would Una it un easy mutter
to got his man. Hut because the crime was
not stated In the requisition , Governor Tay
lor refused to honor It. This neces
sitated considerable delay in getting
now papers , and . in the meantime
both Cornblath and Pelzor have given bonds ,
boon released from custody nnd aro. now In
Omaha. Slnco sorao of their largest credit

Players like this town. That is because
they find , audiences capable of appreciating
good acting. Ono tiin9 lust winter there

It would probably surprise people wlto
have not kept posted to know
the number of performances attended
by theater patrons since Glllnioro's "Twelve
Temptations" were revealed to public view ,
the middle of last August.Between Uovd's
and the Grand , more than four-llfths of the
time has been llllud.
Manager Uoyd says ho Is very "well satis
fied with the season's work. Financially
nnd artistically it has bee < i a Mattering suc
cess. This assertion , however , may bo quul-
ilied by another to the effect that , with
probably four or llvo exceptions , everything
the public has been called on to patronize
was of the very highest class : consequently
any other result could hardly bo expected.
After the ' "i'wolvo Temptations" canto

for vurlpus small sums , aggregating SiO. I
gavei Judgment In their favor. A short
time afterwards i gave n con
tract to Oacklcy to prude my lot.
The attorneys who represented the Italians ,

and they attached the teams of Oackloy ,
Ouckley gave an order on mo , which I ro-
luscd to accept , utr.tlng that when the work
was finished I would pay thorn what wanduu
