on her war from Franc to Carthegena a Colombian sea port with ninety emigrants and a quantity of freight The Voyage was pasart until tba morning of the 28th of Jaausrr when the vessel plunged into a foe bank and while thus enveloped struck on a treacherous reef known as the Bom 3e Cienigas The reef is bat a few miles distant from Carthegena The shock was so severe that the foremast went by the board and the vessel was left helpless Settling down upon the rocks aa the hall filled the Amerique was washed from stem to stern by the angry seas which swept over her at frequent interval It was impassible to launch the lifeboats in that sea The panic stricken passengers and crew continued in this plight for four days and during that time thre vessjls passed within signaling distance of the wreck but none offered to assist the unfortunates The Colombian gunboat La Popa steamed up to within a few hundred yar is of the bark and after exchanging signals with her deliberately left the vessel and its despairing raen and women to their fate The Ameriques water supply gave oat on tbe tirst day adding greatly to the emigrants sufferines Finally the sea spent its anger and when the swell went down saftrciently the passenger and crew got into the small boats and succeeded in getting ashore after a severe trial They were nearly crazed from fright Bnd thirst The passengers were cared Jor by the French Consul and te sailors wer sent back to France The bark went to pieces tbe rocks a tew days later The old whaling bark Stamboul will go to the Arctle no icore Her owners decided yesterday to

FLORISTS AT QUTS DEALERS WITHDRAW FROM THE TRUST Growers Who Sell to Peddlers Will Ba Boycotted by the Association Tbe Florists and Growers Association of California has decided upon a new plan campaign to deprive the curbstone vender of fragrant flowers of a legitimate means of livelihood Every exertion will be made by the hieh prieed dealers to drive tbe peddlers out of business and not a stone will ba left unturned during the procew to make their lives a burden Sreral of tbe florists want to hare the venders arrested and charged with vagrancy as they claim no man has a right to support himself by selling powers unless he rents a store and charges high prices for bis blosscros While the society is making dire threats to do all sort of things to the unprotected peddlers there is a rapidly developing seed of dissention It has taken firm root in theiiown ranks Although they have decided to hold anotfier meeting there is a possibility of tbe organization disbanding before the date set for the next session One of the most prominent members of the combine drew out of the trust during a heated discussion yesterday afternoon and will hereafter conduct his business regardless of the dictation and mandates of the combine At the meeting of the society last week it was decided that any member of the trust who purchased flowers from Chinese dealers or from growers employing Chinese should come under tbe ban of tbe combine It was mutually agreed that no man who patronized Chinese or their agents should be allowed to continue in business and that anyone helping such persons should be refused commercial aid in hours cf need A resolution was unanimously passed and the word of all vre ent given to abstain from patronizing Mongolian growers Only a week has passed since then and already several members of the society bare broten their pledges Figone of the firm of Dominic Co Kearny and Sutter street dealers is charged with havlnjr purchased his blossoms from Chinese and each member of the society has a suspicion that tbe other members may be doing tbe same thing A meeting of the trust was heW yesterday afternoon in the rooms ot the State Board of Horticulture to tbe purpose of effectually dealing with ihe Alleged peddler nuisance and making further arrangements for the maintenance of the high prices which they have been getting for tbe same class of blossoms as those sold for almost nothing by tbe venders President Hale was in the chair and although be did all in his power to quiet the assemblage he was unable to cope with tha sudden tnrn of the tide and with difficulty prevented a dissolution of the society Shortly after the meeting was called to order the violation of tbe reso lution regarding the Chinese was under discussion Charges and insinuations were thrown out right and left and the suspicion with which each dealer regarded his neighbor caused an uproar from the start to the close ot the session It was finally charged point blank that Mr Figone had purchased blossoms from Chinese within tbe past week The indignation of all present knew no bounds when it became known that one cf their own body had failed to Keep his pledge It would bare been all right had the offender been a peddler or a sympathiser with tbe venders but for a dealer who if getting high prices for his buds to go back on tbe rust was almost inconceivable It was finally agreed that no member of the high price combine should patronize Figone in any manner or sell him or his agents flowers or seeds As soon as the Figone scandal was picked threadbare SI ehibeley a Sutter street dealer launched another sensation by declaring that the Hopkins Nursery was selling flowers to the street peddlers who nre regarded as the arch enemies of the high price combine Mr Hopkins and hit agent were immediately condemned The president stated that any one who sold flowers to tbe low price venders was a traitor At which Mr Hllll baciier ot tin Arm of Haielbaeher Wise took offense and declared very em phatically that he would ell to any one no Jikea a not seemea imminent DUt mr Haselbacber scenting trouble shook the dust of the combine from his feet and left the meeting never to return The following resolution was finally passed Ketelvtd That tha Aortal and growers of the association be instructed as follows That the rowers be Instructed not to roll to street peddlers end that the florists be instructed not to purchase of thota growers who sell to street peddlers Die met tins then adjourned for two weeks There was a larjjr deleiatlon

case if the materials were disintegrated in some out of the way location Since then however sober reflection on the matter has brought about a revulsion of feeling and now many citizens are prepared to go before the Supervisors and protest against the measure Reminiscences of sleepless nights caused by the hissing and snorting of bitumen caldrons of days of suffocation from the fumes of boitinc asphalt of smoked dwellings of blockaded streets and sidewalks and of innumerable disastrous runaways caused by the unsightly and noisy machines have brought propertyproperty owners and citizens generally to their senses They admit that it might be a good idea for everybody to Inspect the bitumen placed upon the streets but they would rather deny themselves that pleasure if it Is to carry with It the maintenance of hissing caldrons on the public thoroughfares The man who lives in the Western Addition of course does not object to the presence ol machines on streets south of Market He leaves that to the people living in that quarter But the moment one of them is hauled into his neighborhood he rails and storms until it is removed If the ordinance now proposed is passed he will have to grin and bear it He is not going to let the measure become a law however if it can be prerented The contractors too are opposed to tha ordinance although they will probably not make as vigorous a protest as will tbe property owners The idea that asphalt must be disintegrated on the spot where it is to be used is fallacious said one prominent pavement contractor yesterday It is not even permitted In any of the large Eastern or European cities where bituminous pavements are used yet ihey seem to have good streets I know as a matter of fact tbat the materials can be prepared fire miles distant from tbe street to be paved and tbe work done just as well as if the caldron was located on the spot But it is not a matter of convenience particularly that actuates the contractors to oppose fhe ordinance now before the Supervisors It is annoying of course to have to haul those big pots around with you wherever you go and cause whole neighborhoods to rise up In arms against you bat that is notour greatest trouble What worries us most is the set tbttwa ire continually laying ourselves liable to damages at tbe result of eccidents and destruction ol property and we cannot help ourselves Tlfe operations ol bituminous eon trsctors on the publie streets are a nuisance by all means and should not be permitted by ordinance or anything etse was the emphatic statement of Attorney A Drown

recently I was aroused from my sleep at unnimly houiiof tho night by the hissing of tbe caldron my house was constantly permeated with the obnoxious odor from the boiling asphalt the sidewalks In the

pavements to have these machines on the streets I tay by all means take them away I dont see how anybody can In his sober senses advocate operating those machines on the public thoroughfares declared tr Sherman qt Uherman Clay Co They are a standing menace to the driving puDlic and have caused Innumerable disasters in the shape of runaways My wife was the victim of one of them not long ago She was riding in a coupe and was passing one of those caldrons when it suddenly blew oil steam with A fearful shriek The horse took fright and ran away The vehicle was badly smashed but fortunately my wife

High School yesterday The young masters were assembled in tbe lecture room under command of Captain Gibbons at 3 oclock in the afternoon white gloved andjUtentive Superintendent of Schools Andrew Moulder introduced Colonel Lee in a few remarks and that officers appearance was greeted with applause He bad been delayed somewhat he said by the engineer on the cable car having lost his grip but pointed out in extenuation that the military power was always subordinated to the civil and sometimes the uncivil at might happen in the case of gripmen It gave him great pleasure he continued to address such a fine looking lot ol boys as be saw before him and he told them plainly that all unsuspected on their parts it wss but tbe merest trifle of time when they would be called upon to take their places in directing tbe affairs of the land For that reason ther should be Imbued early with ideas that would make them proud nbt only to announce thattbey were Americans but to give them a full understanding of their position and importance as such Colonel Lee then dwelt at some length ou tbernecessity of instilling tbe lore ot country into tbe hearts of Its citizens at the earliest opportunity and pointed 6ot how this was accomplished fn England and Germany We must cease to imitate foreign customs he said or the idiotic assumption of foreign manners We must teach the children that there is but one country one flag one language ior them the American We must teach them pride of country by every means fn oUr power Tbe lessons to be derived from the fate of fallen nation were recited and some of the dangers of too much peace pointed out Peace is gradual decline said Colonel Lee war is invigorating Peace undermines a nation war builds it np Peace could not exist had not war paved the way for it and made It possible Peace is disease war is healthy growth There can be no peace without the precedence of war He was not an advocate of war but be insisted that peace at the sacrifice ot national humiliation was detestable not to be endured The preservation of peace and safety and existence depended upon the standing army This army waa the nucleus around which could be gathered the millions of men to resist the enemies without or the foes within The greatest auxiliary of this standing army was tbe National Guard and he congratulated the young men upon being members of that body He closed with a hope that nothing would be allowed to destroy the hieb attribute of patriotism In the words Of Lincoln tat it become tbe political religion of the nation On motion of Superintendent Moulder the cadets passed a vote of thanks to Colonel Lee and loudly applauded him as he bowed in acknowledgment Mr Moulder and Vice Principal Kellogg made short addresses Captain
