May 11.— "The route of the president's train northward from Los Angeles yester day lay through the Santa Clara val ley. nestling under fog-swathed mountains to the coast, where it ran for hours along the edge of cliffs overhanging the Pacific ocean. At •every stopping place there was a flower show, rivaling in beauty the floral parade which the president wit nessed at Los Angeles. At Ventura and Santa liarbara the president was •simply overwhelmed with flowers. As he approaches his destination at •Sun Francisco, the programs at the different stops are more enjoyable and less fatiguing. A drive through tiie city was in each case the principal feature at the places where he . stopped yesterday. The president was very much interested in the old '.Spanish missions, filled with historic relics, which he visited both at. Ven tura and at Santa Barbara. An unusual incident occurred dur ing the president's stay at Santa Bar bara. The residence of the chief of Ihe fire brigade caught tire. The fire chief, who was on the street awaiting the coming of the president, was informed that his house was in fla mcs. '•Let it burn." he replied, "I will wait and see the president.

Dun & Co. s Weekly Kevievv cf Trade says: \ panic i ■ Wall street does not mean that legitimate business has suddenly ceased to prosper, nor is the condi tion affected by a violent fall in the prices of securities. Throughout the country fundamental conditions were never as sound as at the present time, reports from nearly every city this week showing an exceptional volume of transactions, and payments promptly met. Production is not. overtaking de mand at the finished steel mills, and all Pittsburg plants are two months behind orders. Although the total number of furnaces in blast on May 1 was 40 less than on February 1, 1900, the Iron Age estimates the weekly capacity at 301,125 tons, which exceeds all previous high water ma rks. Less sensational events transpired in the cereal markets than in the pre ceding week, although quotations are slow to recede. Corn eased off a few cents, but is still about ten cents a bushel, or nearly 25 per cent, above the quotation at the corresponding date in the two preceding years. Foreign purchasers have been driv en out of the domestic markets by the high quotations and Atlantic, ex ports for the week have been 1.222,244 bushels, compared with 3,709,890 a year ago. Shipments of boots and shoes front 1 lost on rose to an unusual point, ag gregating 103,288 cases for the week, against 79,331 in the previous week. The total movement since January is now but 30,000 cases below 1900" to date, and far above any other year. In wool raw material is abundant, and a la rye clip probable, while man ufacturers have only a light demand for goods.

The t;o vcriiinonl .1»y Sow ( «ii> tbe Nickel Process for llnrdenlns Armor date. Washington, May o.—The govern ment lias compromised the issue over the use of the nickel process for hardening armor plate for warships in such a way that in the future this process may be used by the govern ment itself if it should undertake the manufacture of its own armor, or by any private concern furnishing armor for American ships. Claims have been pending for years, and in set tling them the government not only closed up past issues, but insisted on clearing the way of possible compli cations in the future. The claimants sought to limit the adjustment to the armor furnished by the two concerns heretofore fur nishing to the government. Foresee ing, however, that the government it self might wish to make armor at some time, or that competition might extend to other large con cerns. Secretary Long insisted that, the release be broad enough to cover armor making by the United States, or by any concern working for the government. These points finally were conceded. The compromise fig ure paid by the government was be tween $30,000 and $60,000. ORDERED TO SHUT DOWN. Starcli Factories are to Tease Opera* lloll* I mil the torn .Market Settle*. Indianapolis, May '.). —Orders have been received at the 12 to 15 factories of the National Starch Co., including the factory in this city, to get them ready to close down until the corn market shall become settled again. The price of starch, it is said, has not kept pace with the price of corn and there is 110 profit in buying corn at the present prices to make into starch. The local company stopped buying corn May 1. William F. Piei, the manager, says that he understands that the glucose manufacturers will also close their plants. No date v set for the shutdown, but it is be lieved that it will occur about June 1. The time that the shut down is to last will depend, it is said, on the future condition of the corn market. New York, May 9.-—Word was sent from the offices of the National Starch Manufacturing Co. in this city yesterday to the (lien Cove Starch Manufacturing Co. that the company will soon close its factory there. No date was set. This will throw between 300 and 400 employes out of work. A COTTON BLAZE. Fire at Augusta, <ia., Itesulls In a Loa« ol 5170,000. Augusta, Ga., May 9.—A fire which at one time threatened to be a great disaster, broke out in the Union Com press Co.'s building at 1 o'clock Wed nesday. An alley about six feet wide, separated the compress and Pliyuizy & Co.'s warehouse. A stiff breeze in a short time swept the flames over the heads of the firemen to this building, in which were stored 1.200 bales of cotton. I rom here the fire was blown to Whitney & Co.'s warehouse. in the Whitney warehouse there were 2,300 bales stored and soon the whole was a roaring mass of flames. The walls of this structure were the only ones to give way. Had it not been for this, the fire departments could not have stopped the fire where it did.

Railway Shares Prop from 30 to 00 Poliilsand Hinidredsol Speculators arc Btiiined Northern Pacific Hallway Stock Soars I'ntli *I,OOO a Share Is Hid. New York, May 9,—The stock mar ket yesterday offered the novel spec tacle of a bear panic and a bull panic in progress side by side. The bear panic in Northern Pacific was the im pelling cause of the demoralized rush to sell other stocks, which was held in check for a time after the astound ing opening in Northern Pacific, but which gained almost panic force in the late trading. Prices were not toppled over as a direct result of call ing of loans and forced liquidation, such as often culminate a period of over-speculation, although there was a very general broadening c» mar gins and added severity in the scru tiny of collateral. Any one seeking to explain yester day's movement will have togo back over a period of many weeks and for every suggestion of a great financial combination lie will have to suppose a deep seated doubt such as was shown by the disclosures of yester day in Northern Pacific. It came with a chilly shock to the speculators that the country's great financial forces, which it was supposed were earnestly working in accord to secure a community of interests in the whole railroad world, were in fact arrayed against each other in meas ures of bitter retaliation. The Bur lington deal 011 which such far-reach ing conclusions have been based by the speculators, was seen to be in jeopardy. It.was learned that the level to which prices had attained had in duced insiders, presumably best post ed 011 the value of their property to sell sufficient holdings to endanger their control. This explanation of the competitive buying which has in duced some of the recent, sensational advances threw doubt upon the whole series of rumors of plans for great consolidations and trans-continental combinations among the railroads. 111 other words the broad intimation was carried by the disclosures growing out of the Northern Pacific develop ment that the recent buying of stocks was for the most part wholly specu lative and without the supposed ba:;is in investment purposes. New York, May 10. —Bitter stress developed in Wall street yesterday by the second hour of trading on the stock exchange. The violence of the commotion had spent much of its force, at. least, for the time being, when the chairman's gave! fell an nouncing the close of the day's pro ceedings. The casualties were great and the field of battle was strewn with the wounded, and maybe with the dying. I tut of actual fatalities none was reached of importance. During the height of the panic ru mors of insolvency were hancied about more quickly than they could be reported. The principal banks agreed to form a pool and raise a fund to force the money rate down to (i per cent. The bid for money had been run up to 00 per cent, and was threatening to keep alive the panic. A dozen banks quickly came to an agreement to raise $160,000,000, with implied will ingness to increase the sum if neces sary. There were very heavy loans placed also by individual banks, ing in some eases to $25,000,000 and $30,000,000. In the brokers' offices sat many men who were reduced to absolute ruin as a result or 13 minutes' pro ceedings on the stock exchange. Some of these have been made opulent within a few weeks past as a result of the unparalleled rise of prices. With the true gambling spirit they replaced all their winnings in new ventures 011 each successful turn. Yesterday's drop wiped them all out. The attraction of this market has brought into it a constantly increas ing assortment of inexperienced speculators; men and women who have brought long standing boards from secret places and from savings bank deposits, with the determina tion to make one successful stroke and then retire with the proceeds. The demonstrations from this class, which includes many women specula tors, furnished the hysterical scenes and sensations of the day. The price paid for Northern Pacific stock ran up quickly to S2OO per share and then to S3OO, to SSOO, and even to S7OO per share on regular transac tions and SI,OOO per share for cash. The cash price paid meant that shorts who were unable to borrow the stock for delivery had to pay whatever cash price the engineers of the corner chose to ask for it. The figures indicated in these transactions meant ruin for a large outstanding short interest in the stock. The per ception of this fact was the principal impelling cause in producing the de moralization in the stock market. Such a shaking out •>)' stocks as oc curred during the second hour of the stock market was never seen before. In Delaware & Hundson the ex treme decline was 59 points, Manhat tan 38%, Itock Island 35»/,, Union Pa cific 38, Atchison 34'/.,, Atchison pre ferred 281/g. St. Paul 30y a , Missouri Pacific 32, Southern Pacific 29%, Uni ted States Steel preferred 2G'/ 2 , while a range of 5 to 30 points would cover the collapse in nearly every active stock in the exchange. .Hade a New Itecord. New York, May 10. —The Hamburg- Ameri. aii line steamship Deutsehland, which arrived in port Thursday af ternoon from Hamburg, Southamp ton and Cherbourg, succeeded in mak ing a day's run on this voyage which surpasses any previous day's record in the history of steam navigation.

An hourly average speed of 24.53 knots was maintained throughout the whole 24 hours. HAS NO STANDING. I'lie Secretary of the Treasury Wr«lc« u Letter loncernlng au Old and Famous Claim Against the Govern* uient. Washington, May 10. —The secre tary of the treasury has addressed the following letter to the attorney for the "Durkee" claimants: "Sir—ln reply to your several appli cations in behalf of John A. Kuyken dall, as administrator of the estate of Charles Durkee, deceased, who makes demands upon the United States for payment to him of sums of money stated at different times at $04,02;),. r »i2; $79,000,000 and $30,000,000 for the interest he claims in the first mortgage bonds issued by the Pacific railway companies when the roads were constructed, I have to state that, if Mr. Durkee was at any time owner of any of the bonds referred to, record thereof would not be found in the treasury department, but with the records of the railroad companies or elsewhere, as the United States has had no control of or interest in the first mortgage bonds of the roads. "And 1 have further to state that no moneys or bonds of any descrip tion have ever been deposited with or held in trust by the treasury of the United States for any person repre senting Mr. Durkee or his heirs, nor is there any legal or equitable basis for the so-called Durkee claim upon the I'nited States. "Two unsuccessful attempts have been made to secure judicial recog nition of and action upon this claim, by suits brought before the court of claims of the United States and the supreme court of the District of Co lumbia. in both of which courts the proceedings were summarily dis j missed. "The treasury department there fore will hereafter decline to answer any communications upon the sub ject., and will decline also any inter views brought in reference thereto." A LITTLE LABOR WAR. A 7lol> Drive* Italian Laborers from a Town in Kansas. Kansas City, Mo., May 10.—Jerome Fedeli, Italian consul in Kansas City, is quoted as saying that a labor trouble in lola, Kan., that resulted Wednesday night in several Italians being driven from the town by Amer ican workmen, will be investigated immediately. "Kleven of the Italians have reached here," said Consul Fe deli. "Two or three of these were injured and at least one was carried from the train in a blanket." A spe cial from lola says the leaders of the mob have been arrested and held un der bond. Lola, Kan., May 10.—The trouble be tween workmen and the Italians sent here from Kansas City to work in the cement plant seems to be about over, the Italians having left here and the leaders of the mob arrested. Sheriff Hobart appeared at the depot about two hours before train time yesterday and served warrants 011 two of the leaders of the crowd and ordered the rest, mostly boys and young men, to return home or be ar rested. The crowd dispersed with out making trouble. The cement company, finding that the Italians were afraid to return to work, pur chased tickets for them and they went back to Kansas City on the first passenger train. Topeka, May 10.—Gov. Stanley will take no action in the lola affair ufitll the sheriff of Allen county shall call on him for help. "My only duty," he said, "is to send the militia when 1 am requested to do so by the local officer. That has not been done and I presume that the sheriff feels able to handle the matter with the force at his immediate command." SUICIDED IN A HOTEL.

The Disturbance Lasted Moro Than Three Hours. A SINGLE TAX ADVOCATE. The New IHrector of Police Objected to lllw M|ieaklng on the SI reel*, but lie Helmed to be Silent uild a Bi^ ISo.v Ivan llic ItiMill. Detroit, Mich., May 11. —Fully 10,000 men and boys ran riot in tlie main streets of this city for in on; than, tlirt'e hours, and a continual running fig"ht with police, both mounted ami on foot, made an exciting- night in the heart of the city last night. The net result, so far as is known, is 13 citizens and five policemen injured. The names of but two of the citizens are known at present. They are Mike Waldin and Louis Caplin. Both, men had their heads crushed by lie ing trampled on by horses ridden by the mounted police in a charge ou the crowd. The officers injured are: James Tuomey, scalp cut by brick; Henry Scott, hit on head with a cobble stone; Thomas Murphy, cheek cut open with brick; George Moore, bad ly cut about head by a brick and taken home in an ambulance; Barney Hoonan, hit with a brick. The beginning of the riot was Thursday night when Direct*. .* of the Police Frank T. Andrews, who recent ly superceded the old police board through the passage of the '"'ripper" bill by the legislature, issued an order to the police to allow no one to stand about the wagon of one "Torn" Bawden, a local single tax exhorter who had incurred the ill will of the police director by the extraordinary nature of his remarks on so-called wealthy "tax dodgers." When Bawden began his exhorta tion a crowd quickly gathered. Di rector Andrews supervised the work of the police in keeping the jieople moving. The crowd good naturedly hooted at the police and no violence was done. l.ast night, however, the temper of the crowd changed when it was announced that Director An drews had called on reserve officers to assist in keeping the Campus Mar tins clear. The single tax exhorter came with his wagon and found the campus jammed with people. The police refused to allow him to locate al any particular point and lie drove from one street to another, the crowd following. The mob frequently blocked traffic and the police attempted TO disperse tit em. It was but a moment before stones began to fly through the uir and a general mixup followed, in which the foot police used their clubs and the mounted men charged* The officers fired their guns in the air and the mob returned the fusil lade with bricks and cobblestones. Afc one time when the mob had gathered' about the Central police station at Fort and Randolph streets, bricks were thrown through the windows. In a charge made by the mounted! police at this point Mike Waldin was knocked down and three horse a trampled over him, cutting his head so badlv that be was taken to Emer gency hospital. Officer George Moore was hit with a stone in this charge and his cheek was laid open. He was taken to his home in an ambu lance. The other officers were nob seriously hurt. At one stage of the riot a section of hose was secured by order of the po lice director and the stream turned on the crowd, but the hose was cut and the man who wielded the nozzle . was driven into a saloon and pound ed over the head with an iron cus pidor. Mayor Maybury was down town watching the crowd and at one time made a speech to the people from the post office steps, cautioning them to do no violence, but stating that he was not in sympathy with the order of Police Director Andrews, denying free speech on the public streets. At 11 o'clock last night the mob had gradually dwindled to a mere handful. Two Faat Train* to the Coast. St. Paul.
