LEK C. TIIAYKK.

An exchange says that a man went to sleep the other night and dreamed he was in a city entirely governed by women. It was scrupulously clean and while wandering around saw three men arrested for spitting on the sidewalk. A garbage box at the rear end of each lot wa hand-painted and tied with a blue ribbon. Mail boxes were decorated with drawn work and lire plugs had cushioned seats on top of them. Sweet peas were climbing over the electric light poles and handpainted cuspidor occupied a prominent place on every corner. There was no business, not a team being allowed to pass up or down the streets for fear of making dust. The town was deserted save for the police-women who marched up and down to see that no man with dirty shoes stepped into the town.

SAN FRANCISCO, Out. 11.—Private dispatches received here say that La Paz, Alex., has been completely destroyed by a hurricane. The storm was followed by a tidal wave, the waters in the bay rising to an unprecedented height, invading that portion of the city fronting on the bay, and carrying out, to sea men, animals and debris of wrecked buildings as the tide subsided.

The dispatch announcing the destruction of La lJax was dated lxu mas, and was received by Shipping Agent Roarer. The dispatch said tlie steamer Wiliiamette Valley, of the Pacilic Mail line, had been delayed two days at CJuaymas by the same storm which devastated La Paz, bat that she iei't last night for the north.

Mexicans here say that thoy have'had dispaienes about a seven sionn wuich prevailed all along the coast early tins week. Inc loss of life is reported heavy, but derails of the disaster are misuser. La Pn is the capital of Lower Caiilornia and situated a bay ot the same name. The pert ts well sheltered and easily d.eIcwsiMe against attack from the sea. The city «iad a population of {,(00, a cathedral, a government house and a I town house, and the place was once the abode of luxury, as evidenced by the handsome dwellings of tlie wealthy class. La Paz was once the seat, ol' extensive pearl fisheries, bu\'(*r mining was extensively engaged in and the commerce of the port was not inconI siderable.

HAWAII WANTS TO JOIN U3.

Opinions of M. ivis, a Honolulu Merchant, Now iu This Country.

DENVICU, Oct. il.—F. M. Davis, a Honolulu merchant, arrived in Denver yesterday en route to Atlauta. He said "It would, of course, be useless to deny that fractional differences exist in Hawaii and especially in Honolulu, and the republic as it stands has a good many supporters, but I am of the belief that if a vote on the question of annexation to the United States was taken taken today there would be an overwhelming expression in favor of it. "As to the royalists, we hear very little of them. Occasionally we react in the American papers of some upnsing and some deep-laid plot to restore the queen, and we are forced to laugh at them. The Americans should use several grains of salt with anything they may read about Hawaiian revolutionists these days. It is a common saying in Honolulu whenever the stories go out that San Francisco is again in the throes of the South Sea rebellion, for the majority of the stories are simply glittering testimonials to the imagination of San Francisco newspaper men."

NOW IT IS GONE.

I HOT

SPKTXOS, Ark., Oct. 11.—After

I having opened court yesterday Judge I Duffie asked for the sheriff. Sheriff Boupt answered the summons and I Judge Duffie stated to him that he had been imormed and believed that an afctempt would be made to bring the CorI bett-Fitzsimmoiis fight off in Hot

Springs, and that he wished to call his I attention to the fact that in doing so the principals would be breaking the laws of the state and outraging the dignitv of the state of Arkansas. lie would, in conjunction with Judge

Teague, the prosecuting attorney,

111-

form the sheriff at what stage it is his duty to interfere. The judge further stated to Mr. Houpt that he had a right to call the posse comnntatus and tnat it would be a violation of the law for a citizen so ci^led upon to refuse to I respond.

Tho Governor Is With Ilitii.

LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 11.—When shown I the dispatch from Hot Springs about the action of Judge Duffie. in connection with the Corbett-Fitzsimmons light, Governor Clarke said that the news was not surprising to him.. He expected as much of Judge Duffle, prosecuting attorney Teague and Sheriff I Houpt. The governor said Judge Duffie was an old class mate of his and he knew lie would do his duty in the presI ent as in all other emergencies where the majesty of the law was to be vindicated.

Governor Clarke was emphatic in saying that since Judge Duffie has taken the initiative in the premises it would be a very easy matter to stop the fight. The chief executive of the state could now intervene and preclude the possibility of the affair being pulled off in the city of Hot Springs. Governor Clarko is spending much time in examining the laws bearing upon the case and in counselling with prominent attorneys.
