Thomas* Huddle, Head ?>laster of the Bible Christian College of Devon, Eng and, spoke on the attitude of tlie church toward amusements. He said there is nothing in tiie spirit of the Now Testa ment op iI to moderate and rational of amusements. Whatever may bo duty of the church toward am us ments, it is ol viously not her duty to be hostile toward them.

This work. Colonel Crocker said, would cost, including equipments, 545,000 a mile. He did not think it would pay the interest on the bonds if they were sold, and yet the work was one which the company would j be ulad to undertake, and may do so be foro long. "We will not begin," said he, "until we are ready to go at it all along. I hope and expect a large influx of immigration here, and the selling off of iarge land holdings at such prices as to warrant the investment of the capital required.

DEVICES TO CREATE A MARKET FOR EASTERN FRUITS. Peaches Packed at Baltimore and Sent Out Under California Labels- Fruit Sales. Special to the Rkcord-TJnion. Nkw Yokk, Oct. 19.—The Commercial Bulletin, referring to the charges in a California agricultural newspaper that Baltimore peaches had been packed under California labels this season, says that journal is not mistaken—peaches have been packed in Baltimore and sent out under so-called California labels. Some of the peaches are excellent and doubt less hold their own in the contest with average California goods, but others, ac cording to competent judges, not only fail to come up to the California standard, but would not do justice to Eastern pack ers if exhibited as a fair average speci men of tbeir work. If tho fact that labels used by California packers have been counterfeited, we faii to discover any proof, but it is no secret tbat goods hear ing labels of non-existing canners have been shipped out of Baltimore this sea son. In other words, labels artistically arranged to suit the circumstances, yet Steering clear of a counterfeit, could doubtless be discovered without calling I into service a modern Vidocq. We learn of one instance where goods thus falsely labeled have been ottered iv I the Eastern market, but whether by the t authority of the packer or not is uncer i tain. Upon careful inquiry facts were j elicited going to show that nearly all Baltimore goods under California labels j are thus turned out at tbe instigation of l Western dealers. That is to say, those I dealers bought goods unlabeled from the packers, and bad specially prepared Cali- I fornia labels placed on tbe cans. This is really no new Western trick. In fact, it j is on tho chestnut order, but that Califor nians should be indignant is not to bo surprised, however, and success should I attend their efforts to run down the game in this connection. It maybe proper to state tbat salesman for Eastern jobbers have frequently dropped the hint that they could make a very nice turn if their principals would condescend to put in Eastern peaches under tbe California label. Tbo Jiull>>tin is aware of several instances where such a proposition was indignantly frowned down, but it fails to discover evidence of the deception which has been practiced in this city. Crooked work of tliis kind is sure to come to the surface sooner or later. FRUIT SALES AT NKW YORK. Nkw York, Oct. 19.—The Porter Broth ers Company sold to-day at auction, for account of California Fruit Union ship pers: Sal way peaches. 05o(g.81 05; Georgia Lates. ..").«.75c; Levi cling peaches, 81 O.V 1 10; Bilyeau peaches, 80ef_.$l 05; single crates Tokay grapes. 81 10.« 1 05; single crates Muscats, 85c?£-Sl 20; black Moroccos, 31 40f«,l 80; single crates Emperors, $1 15

constituencies their voters will win the election, and this is a fact that makes the Gladstonians rail against them with so much bitterness. I regret to hear that the new torpedo ship Vulcan, from which great things wero expected, must be pronounced a complete failure. She was intended to have a cruising speed of twenty knots. She has never been driven more than eighteen, and that only for short periods, and she is now hopelessly hors dv com bat, as her builders are literally done for. It is a sin and shame that in this, tho first engineering country in the world, the money of the taxpayers should be wasted on guns that cannot shoot and boilors that are unable to steam. The reason of tho failure is the same in both cases—a faulty system of construction. Similar 1 toilers were only last week, in the face of all this experience, put on board the De vastation at Portsmouth. A fortnight ago I stated that Com mander Youngbusband was hurriedly telegraphed for to examine the Victoria's big guns. I havo since been informed that after he had done so, with the assist ance of an expert from Elswick, and had caused several impressions in gutta percha to bo taken of the inner tube, near the muzzle, there was no alternative but to give positive instructions tbat the gun was not to be fired again. We have the flagship, commander-in-chief of tbo most important squadron, deprived of the use of half of its armament, and it is not unlikely that the other half is in j much better condition. The Victoria ought to be sent homo at once and re legated to limbo along with the Sans pariel and Benhow, till all three are armed with reliable new guns. DESTRUCTIVE STORMS. The Worst Known in Twenty-five Years on tho Coast of Ireland. Lonpon, Oct. 19.—The hurricane which prevailed on tbe west coast of Ireland for several days past is pronounced to bo the worst storm known in that part of the country in twenty years. The river Shannon overflowed its banks and sub merged largo quantities of land in its vicinity, drowning a considerable num ber of cattlo and sheep, and destroying several houses and many barns and Other buildings. Among the long list of vessels wrecked was a French brig, which was lost to-day off St. Catherine's Point. Fivo men of the crew were drowned. The storms have caused a most abnor mal high tide at Sandgate, near Folk stone, and tbis, combined with tlie hurricane, is destroying the seawalls. Great alarm is felt. Many houses situ ated near tlie shore have already been washed over by the angry wators, and the highway leading to Hythe and Folk stone is submerged and destroyed in many places. The River Thames at Windsor, Eaton and other places is over flowing its banks into many houses. There aro similar reports from many other places in England, Ireland and Scotland. GALE OF UNUSUAL FIERCENESS. Duri.in, Oct. 19.—A galo has been rag ing to-day with unusual fierceness about Queenstown and vicinity. About thirty craft, largo and small, have been driven ashore. At Youghal the sea was so heavy that many parts of the town have been flooded by tbe seas which swept into tho streets. "Many .heep and cattle were drowned along the course of the Black water River. Dispatches from Holyhead Btate that 200 vessels, much damaged, sought refuge at that port. At Maryport, Cumberland, on the Irish Sea, a thriving shipbuilding place, tbe water is causing enormous damage. Tho River Shannon has burst its banks in County Limerick, inundating large tracts of land. The Reclamation Works, near l.nnis, in County Clare, which recently cost tlio Government 1600,000, has been nearly ruined. Villages in Trent Valley are submerged. The Riven Ksk, F.sbew, Runney and Otway overflowed their banks. Many thousand acres of land an covered witii water, and the roads are Impassible. A large number of buildings, weakened by the floods, have collapsed. The loss of livestock is very groat. The Parrot River overflowed ita banks. Between Bridgewater and Angport the country for many miles is like a sea. Hundreds of cattle were drowned and many houses submerged, AFFAIRS IX CHILE. Safe Conduct to bo Riven U__ue.oos on Foreign Vessels. Santiago (Chiici,Oct. 18.—It is officially stated that tho Government will issue safe conduct to those persons who have refuge in the American and Spanish legations. Tho Government has recog nized tho right of asylum in a letter to Mr. -Sgan, the United states Minister. The Spanish Minister is acting in con junction with Mr. Egan. Tho sailor of the United States steam ship Baltimore killed by Chilean sailors in tho street brawl a few days ago was buried at Valparaiso to-day. Thero was no hostile demonstration of any kind. An armed force of Americans from tho Baltimore was landed, ami they at tended the funeral unmolested. Another of the Baltimore sailors, cruelly wounded ill the same light, will probably dio. Captain Schley and the local author. ties; arc investigating the cause of the killing. Already it has been ascertained that tho Chilean mob made an attack on the Americans. Tlie Chileans wero well armed with knives and pistols, whereas the Americans bad but few weapons, and were slow in using them. The Chilean sailors and boatmen and others about tho water front still show a relentless, bitter feeling toward tlie Americans, and make all manner of threats. The bettor class of Chileans heartily condemn the brutal al ta.■!., and express the hopo that the coun try may escape tbe odium that arises lrom such lawless scone-;. DULL-FIGHTING IN MEXICO. Tho National Sport Revived in the -Same of Charity. City of Miixico, Oct. 19.—Tho revival of bull-lighting in the City of Mexico yesterday was in tbe name of charity. A committee of ladies of tbis capital, with Mrs. Diaz, wife of the President, at tbe head, organized the show for the benefit of sufferers from floods in Spain. It was one of the greatest spectacles of Mexican national sport ever witnessed, lt is esti mated that I_,ooo persons were present. Nine bulls of a celebrated breed were killed amid tbo hravos of the specta tors. The animals wore trained for the occasion, and many of tlio matadores had narrow escapes. President Diaz and party left the ring during tbe killing of the eighth bull. The banderillos stuck into the bulls were after the tight sold by peddlers at extravagant prices. This was one of the greatest tights Mexico has seen for years, and the amount received for admission fees it is supposed will reach £25,000. SOCIALIST CONGRESS. A Delegate Makes a Violent Speech in Defense of Anarchy. Erfurt, >et. 19.—At to-day's session of the Socialist Congress, llerr Auerbach made a violent speech in defense of anarchy. This speech, which was full of tbe most bitter denunciations of tho ex isting S3'stem of the Government and society, caused such an uproar and so much protest upon the part of the more sober-minded portion of the delegates that the Congress was on the point of electing a committee to consider the ex pulsion of members who supported tlio anarchistic views of the speaker. Then Auerbach, amid a scene of uproarons dis order, announced the secession fiom the socialistic party of himself, Werner, Wildberger, Schulz and Brethge. All fivo immediately withdrew from the hall. Tho Tope Much Grieved. Rome, Oct. 19.—The Pope has written to Harmel, organizer of the French work ingmen's pilgrimages, which recently visited this city, expressing bitter grief at seeing French pilgrims "abandoned without provocation to tlio attacks of an ungovernable populace." The Pope, in this letter, adds that he is deeply grateful to the pilgrims avlio came to Homo, and "to those who were prevented from com ing by violence and iniquitous hatred" he sends his blessing. Balfour's Promotion. LONDON, Oct. 19.—The Pall Mall Ga zette this afternoon, referring to the ap pointment of Balfour as First Lord of the Treasury, and, therefore, as the Conserv ative leader in the Commons, ki succes sion of tho late William Henry Smith, says: "The appointment is no bad thing for the Opposition. We prefer to _______ lighting men. It will be nothing but a boon to tbe Liberals to have opposed to hem a man specially identified with oercion in its most defiant form." RUSSELL EXPLORING PARTY. All Save Ono or tho Members Roach Victoria Safely. Vancouver (B. C), Oct. 19.—Professor Israel C. Russell, who was sent by tbe United States Government and National .eographieal Society to explore the region about Mount «t. Elias, arrived to-day from Alaska.

From observations taken the mountain is between 18,000 and J!>,000 feet high. Tbe party then explored the coast from Icy Bay to Disenchantment Bay, a distance of about .100 miles, and also the glaciers. Russell aud party left this evening for Seattle, whence he goes direct to Wash ington to report to tbe Government. ______ To Entertain the Horticulturists.

STORY OF LINCOLN. llow a Pennsylvania Soldier Got tlio Tobacco 110 Wanted. In the latter part of 18__! tbo 157 th Penn sylvania Volunteers wore stationed at Washington, preparatory to moving toward Richmond. For some unknown reason their salaries had been delays i for two months, and the boys found'them selves "strapped" pretty closely for money. Among the members of Com pany 1) was a wild, harum-scarum sort of follow, hailing from Lancaster County. For about a week lie bad been without :in ounce of tobacco. From everybody bo questioned he received tbo same answer —"Haven't an ounce; money all went a month ago." The poor fellow endured tbe agony for a while, but finally, becoming desperate, he got leave of absence lrom camp ono morning and started off op G street in the direction of the White House. Ar riving there, be stopped for a while look- I ing over the fence into the grounds sur- I rounding the l.xecutive Mansion, and I presently caught sight of the President walking along tbo path in front of the houso. Just then a bright idea struck 'him. Mustering up his courage, ho stalked into the garden and presently neared the President. "Good morning, Mr. President," ho said, touching his cap. "tiood morning, my man." replied "Old Abe." "What can Ido for you?" 'The soldier hesitated for a while, but noticing the President's kindly look, iin aliy said: l*The fact of tiie matter is, Mr. Presi dent, we haven't had any money for two months now. and every one of US is dead broke, and I'm almost dead for a chew of tobacco." A smile lit up the faco of tho great, war President as he received this information, ami then his hand went down into his pocket. Drawing forth a silver dollar ho handed it to the broken" volunteer and said: "It shan't bo said that one of my soldiers died for want of some tobacco. I need his services too much for tbat. Buy some tobacco with this, and I think by tbe time it is gone you will have received alt tlie money tliat is due you." With a gratified "Thank you, Mr. j President," tho soldier lilted his cap and passed quickly out of the grounds, Tho back salary was paid shortly after tho occurrence. _*. It w?.s a matter of some comment recently that a quart of potatoes was worth more in the Chicago market than a quart of strawberries, -ays the Fmii Journal. This was brought about by a combination ol* circumstances which might not occur again A,r many year... Potatoes were very BCOreo and berries very plentiful. But it indicates the fact that the industry ot potato grow ing is on the wane and that of berry growing is fast on the increase. The smallest tree that grows in Great Britain maybe seen on the very top of Ben Lomond. It is tho dwarf willow, which, at maturity, reaches a hight of enly two inches.

SACBAMEKTO DAILY BECORD-UNIOK, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1801.—SIX PAGES. SAN FRANCISCO "ENTERPRISE.'' Some Sensible Remarks from a Stock ton Paper. [Stockton Mail, Oct. 16th.] Interior merchants should think well before they entangle themselves with the organization of producers and shippers to meet in San Francisco to-morrow. The San Francisco producer and shipper is a wonderfully selfish person, wdio cares not a fig for the interior producer and shipper only so far as he may be able to use the latter in his business. We of Stockton remember perfectly well the long struggle that preceded the making of this a terminal point for freight from the East. Prior to that our merchants had to pay through rates to San Fran cisco plus the local rate back to Stockton. This suited the selfish San Francisco merchant, as it made of that city a center of trade that was of great advantage to him in his competition with interior houses for country business. Now the advantage is in favor of tbe Stockton merchant—the natural advan tage of geographical position unrestrained by the imposition of arduous artificial conditions. Our people ought for many reasons to be able to underbid the metro politan houses for the trade of the mount ains, for example. But let them tie themselves up with some new-fangled alliance of San Francisco trades people and where would they be? That is what they should think about before they join the procession. These San Francisco trades people are a queer lot in many re spects. All they could raise to assist tbe Nicaragua canal was 8180,000 —an enter prise tbat would make of the Bay City I one of the greatest emporiums of life j continent, lt is a wonder they did not ask tbeir brethren of the interior to tur j nish even this beggarly subscription for j them. _I_.p But Don't Coerce. To help nature in its efforts to throw off the trammels of disease is, of course, the legitimate method of medication. Tbis method is, unfortunately, too often diverged from and help perverted into coercion. Drastic, excessive purging is undoubtedly the most frequent form of coercion of this sort. Tho bowels are forced, literally wrenched into action. Of course tbis is accompanied with much griping pain, and succeeded by exhaustion, whu h leaves the organs of evacuation in a state incompatible with subsequent regularity and activity. The last state of that man or woman who uses drastic cathartic- for constipation is decidedly worse than the first, ilostetter*- Stomach Putters is tlie finest laxative in exist' nee. since it pro duces the needful but no abnormal action, is progressive, not abrupt iv operation, and strengthens instead of weakening the organs upon which it acts.

IT IS SIMPLE. How to Prepare Ballots and Booths for the Election. The Law Can be Successfully Executed If the Authorities Will Read and Follow tho Statute. Our' evening contemporary, the Bee, reports Auditor Young as saying that "ho anticipates considerable trouble in getting tho new election law into success ful operation, and adds that he paid a visit to Oakland a few days ago and se cured pointers about what kind of tickets must be used, and how the booths shall be constructed." EARIT.Y rXDERSTOOD. The law is as plain as a pike staff. It is not at all ambiguous. Its directions no man ought to mistake. It is notorious tliat at Oakland it was not strictly com plied with, notably in the construction of the booths. The Secretary of State has issued the law in book-form, with a copy of the ballot to be used, as designed by the author of tho law. It is not, there fore, reasonable that there should be any difficulty experienced in the matter. The Rixoiu.-Union the other day printed a sample copy of the ballot in miniature In exact compliance with the words of tlie law. NO EXCUSE FOB lU.rxDEßlxo. Now it is essential that there shall be no blunders made here, and that the law shall not be brought into disrepute by i bad management. Tlie suggestion that j dilliculty is anticipated in getting the law into successful operation may be —but j we hope not—father to a possible fail ure, for anticipation of difficulty some times invites it. Let the people see now fox themselves if there need be any stray- i ing by intelligence in this matter. Sec- I tioiis 1198 and 1107 describes tho ballot, and this is the plain English of it. THE PLAIN ENGLISH OF IT. The ballot paper is to be procured from the Secretary of State, who has upon it j a secret water mark, the key to which is known to him alone. The ballot must be eighteen inches l long and four and a half inches wide. If tlie names of candidates are so numerous I that the length will not contain them, j other columns of four and a half inches! may bo added to the width. Between each column there must be a heavy printed rule line. 11. >\v PRINTED. The ballot must be headed "Municipal ticket," and name tlie ward in which to be used. If there are party nominations tho title of each party shall be put at the I head with the word "straight*' and ai blank square, in which the voter can stamp an XL, I m i\\o left of the ballot is a stub with a perforated line. The stub is to bear a j printed number. Un the other side a bail-inch I'lank margin is to be reserved with a perforated line. On the back of this margin the same number that la on tho stub is to be printed. The ollice to be voted for is to be printed In the body of the ticket, and be neath it. in plain Roman type, the names of the candidates with political designa tion, and at th" end of the line a blank square in which the voter is to stamp an X, if he does not wish to vote a straight ticket. At the end of tbe list of candidates are to be lelt as nianj' blank spaces as there are offices to be voted for, tbat voters may write any name thoy wish. The names and blank spaces are to be numbered lrom one consecutively. SUCH IS THE BALLOT. That is the 1-Ulot, and tlio whole of it, and there is not a job printer in the land that cannot Bet it uu from this descrip tion. It is simpler than a bill of lading, laudable than most state ments of commercial accounts, and clearer than an assessment list. If any doubt exists about the form, the sample ballot issued by the Secretary of State Will clear it away. THE BOOTH AND ItALLOT-r.OXi:-. Section l_ 6 et _eg. make the matter (dear. There is to be a ballot-box marked on the outside "Municipal Tickets." j There must be sufficient booths or com partments "in which voters may con- i veniently mark their ballots, so that in the marking thereof they may be screened from the observation of others, and a guard raiL sliall be so constructed and j placed that only such persons as are in- I rail can approach within fee. of the ballot-boxes and of such booths or compartments." IN J'LAIN VIEW. Neither tlie boxes nor booths, say- the law, shall be hidden from view of those outside the guard rail. The number of booths shall be no! less than one fore fifty electors in the precinct. In booth there is to be pens In holders, ink, a stamp x) and a pad of ink tit for the ■tamp. -Now let us see if any intelligent builder could not construe, the booths from the foregoing description. A pre cinct has or should nave but 200 voters; the least number of booths, therefore, must be four, but there may be more. To make sure that there aro enough, let us say six shall be built. THE BOOTHS, OB VOTIX O ...MI'ARTMENTS. Across one end of a well-lighted room up against the wall a smooth shelf, i feet from the ground, say twenty inches wide. Divide it into six equal parts, each part say two and a half leet wiakland, if tho reports of the Bay press are to ue credited. HIS LIFE A FAILURE. A Former Foisomlte Who Killed Him self at Solma.

Where there was fino I opportunity for genuine satire, he has simply made gross punning and mere I inversion of McAllister's expression do duty for satire. We cannot conceive! uf time ever i______g___g so heavily on one's j bands as to justify squandering any of it in reading this senseless trash.

York and London, and tor aale by the Bancroft Company, San Francisco. The volume is profusely and bandsotnely illustrated, and very taste fully bound. Could a student of the classics and of history have a more de lightful subject for Eds pen than the Golden Age of Athens? Scarcely, and Mr. Abbott has not only improved hi.-, opportunity, but every page bears testi mony to the enthu__-___ with which he has recorded the resutls of his study of the growth of the Athenian empire.' the causes which alienated Athens and Sparta, and the record of the government, art, literature, society and manners ot Peri-lean Athens. The third volume oi* the "Memoirs of the Prince de Talleyrand" is at hand, from the press of G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York. This volume opens with the year 1815 and the Congn of Vienna; and closes with tbe events of the memor able year 1830. A__ appendix contains a number of letters relating to the events of 1850-31, taken from the papers of the Prince, but not included by mm in the text of his memoirs. The volume is C. C. LINIMENT.

Ox\LY FOR FIVK YEARS AT 7 PER CENT.^J Capay Valley is situated in Yolo County, about 90 miles by rail from San Francisco^ and is traversed in its entire length by the Woodland, Capay and Clear Lake F.ailroad, the distance from Esparto to Rumsey being 21 miles. Tne Capay Valley Land Company is offering the most fertile lands in this beautiful valley upon terms which enable the purchaser to pay Jbr the land out of its own product, viz: Interest only for five years at 7 per cent. The only condition imposed is, that a reasonable pro portion of the lend purchased shall be planted to fruit trees or vines. Land may be bought without this condition on payment of 20 per cent, cash and re maining So per cent, at the end of five years, with in terest annually in advance, at 7 per cent. The various tracts owned by the Capay Valley Land Company b been subdivided into 10 and 20-acre lots, which are for sale at prices varying from $50 to $150 per acre. Simi lar unimproved land in Vaca Valley has recently been sold at Saoo and $500 per acre. These Capay Valley lands are under the mest favor able climatic conditions for the prosecution cf profitable fruit growing, and the locality lias proved itself to be "i 11 of the earliest in the State. The grape crop of 1890 from the company's vineyard at Cashmere was picked, dried and shipped to Chicago and Philadelphia before the Fresno County grapes were ripe. The railroad passes through all of the tracts owned by the Capay Vailey Land Company, thus insuring excel lent shipping facilities and hmd may now be purchased in the immediate proximity of either of the following stations Capay, Cadenasso, Surrey, Guinda, Sauterne, Cashmere or Rumsey. At many of these places fine orchards of the choicest and earliest varieties of peaches and apricots may already be seen, and during the coming season considerable ad ditional acreage will be planted oat. One of the recent salts made by the company was that cf the Tancred Tract, containing 600 acres, to a colony association. This tract has been subdivided into forty holdings, ail of which will be planted to frait trees this season. The fine orchards on the Guinda Tract, where 400 acres have been sold, arc especially worthy of mention, and it is a significant fact that several of the blocks are owned by successful Vaca Valley fruit-growers, who ex pect to make their earliest shipments from here.

FARM AND ORCHARD. Fruit Tree Diseases Prevalent Eastern Cities. Poach Yellows and Peach Rosette- Symptoms of the Diseases—Peanut Oil—General Farm Notes. The California Fruit Grower says that the future success of fruit growing in Cal ifornia depends largely upon preventing he introduction of various fruit tree dis eases which are prevalent throughout many of tho Eastern States. Importing trees from the East, especially from States whero the yellows has appeared, is very dangerous, and every person interested _n tho future of fruit growing iv Califor nia ought to discourago the practice in every way. The yellows is spreading throughout the East with great rapidity and is most alarming, threatening the de struction of the peach industry every where. The disease now prevails from Massachusetts to Virginia, and westward to tho great lakes and the Msssissippi River. Tho peach-growing sections of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Arkansas, Pennsylvania and North Texas aro suffering from its rav ages, and, so far. nothing can stop its de structive course. It is a most singular and obscuro disease everywhere. As au illustration which will apply, to a certain extent, to nil the districts, there may be mentioned Newcastle County, Del. This county has always been con sidered the largest peach-growing region of the East, and, in 1879, the acreage de voted to the culture of the peach in that county was estimated at 11,600 acres, but since that time has been steadily on the decline, caused by the yellows. In !s>o no orchards of any consequence were found between Middlotown and Mc- Donough, which formerly was so thickly planted. Large districts, once almost en tirely devoted to peach orchards, are now bare and do not contain a single tree. !i was estimated that there wero 1,750,000 trees In Newcastle County In 1875, and 3___,__77 baskets of peaches were shipped that same year. Newcastle and Middle town aro no longer the center of the peach region, and the peaches now shipped from there arc hardly |aken into account. Large orchards in Maryland and Dela ware that once were very productive have been swept out of existence by the Scourge. Thousands of acres havo been taken out and many more will be up rooted and burned. Tho scourge is also doing havoc in many sections where, previous to 1888, it was"not known to ex [_-. Such remnants of orchards are seen everywhere, and the stumps remain only is evidence of its destructive work. That there is danger of introducing the dis on nursery trees cannot be doubted, trom the fact that in the Last it has been taken from one locality to another in this way, J the trees developing the disease tho same season after planting. The first eases of yellows that have been found in new districts are generally, if not always, in young trees Imported from infected localities. "Yellows is a disease of haste and waste: tho fruit ripens too soon, the Buds push too soon, assimila tion is di«+prbed, the stored starch and Other food materials are wasted by exces sive and unnatural growth and tiie en tire vitality of the tree is exhausted in the course of two or three seasons." This State is thus far free from the disease, and the introduction of all trees from tiie Eastern States should be prohibited by stringent legislative enactments and oounty ordinances. From time to time we have warned fruit-growers of the dan :'introducing dangerous in ;.ot known in this Stale; strange as it may appear, and in hoe Of all these warnings, many person.- j j\e eager to buy trees grown outside of the State, principally on account of their i cheapness. The peach yellow is a constitutional disease of the peach and nectarine, pre valent throughout many of the Eastern States where the peach is grown, and peculiar to America as far as known. It also been observed on the almond and apricot. "Within a few years after it was discovered, yellows appeared in! _U the Atlantic Coast states north of Vii- i ginia, and caused great loss, destroying, few decades, hundreds of orchard.- I in 1 thousands of trees in Delaware, New .Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut and putting an entire stop t-> peach growing in many sections." Thus far, mycologists have failed to tscribe the cause of the yellows. It has, Nrever, been attributed to various causes, such as severe freezing in winter, c rainfall, precipitation, para- aites. etc.; but these causes have I carefully looked into and the yefore or after the leaves have fallen.

As is well known to our readers, "Chins nut oil"' is an important article of export from China and is quite extensively used various purposes in California. Re garding tho source of this oil and its man- ___k.cture_ the llrit'sh Con_.ul Jn Tainan, I SACBAIVfEyrO DAILY BECOKP-TTiOTUlsr, TTT_ESI)A?, OCTOBER 20, 1801.—SIX PAGES. in Formosa, in a recent report says that the ground nut or peanut is largely culti vated on the plains lyiue. between the hills and the west coast oi" South For mosa, and irom it is expressed an oil which is in great request all over the island, both as an article of food and for lighting purposes. The supply is insuf ficient to meet the demand, and large quantities of nuts are imported by junk from the Pescadores (the little group on the southwest coast of the island., which are said to bo of finer quality than those produced in Formosa. The nuts are first dried in a brickwork tank, under which a slow fire is kept constantly burning, and are thon crushed by a horizontal roller, forming the radius of a circle in which it works, tho machine being driven by oxen. By this means the husks are broken up and the kernels cracked. It takes about six hours to crush 11 cwts. of nuts in an ordinary-sized mill. The mass is then sifted to clear it of the larger portions of husk, which latter are again put under the crusher. The pulverized mass is made into circu lar cakes, which are wrapped round with rice straw twisted together at the rims, and which are then put into a press formed by tw semi-cylinders resembling native coffin lids, which, when placed to gether, form a closed cylinder, the two parts of tlie press being kept together by iron bands. Each of the cakes is sur rounded with an iron ring, and thoy are arranged in loose but regular order throughout the length of the press. A wedge is then inserted between the last cake and the end of the press, and is driven home by moans of a swinging hammer. Another wedge is Inserted and treated in a similar manner, and this is continue 1 until the whole mass is so clo.ely pressed together as to render farther insertion of wedges impossible. As the oil drains out and the pressure slackens, more wedges are driven in until tho whole of the ou has been expressed. One hundredweight of nuts will give about thirty ponnds of oil, worth 30s. The (_aves and stalks of ttie plant are sometimes worked into the soil, and form a very good manure; they are also largely used as food for cattle, and are extremely nutritious. This method of extracting the oil is somewhat cumbrous, taking considerable time and involving great waste of material; but labor is so cheap and the people havo for so long a time been accustomed to the machine now in use that it appears doubtful whether the introduction of more elaborate machinery would be of any practical service. Ground-nut cake is commonly used as manure for the fields. FARM NOTES. Both sheep and orchards do best on well-drained Land, and they do well to gether alter tlie trees are lai-go enough. Professor Cooke declares that there is always a 10.-s when creams of different degrees of ripeness are mixed .just before eh urn ing. Dairymen should try a deep pit, filled in with absorbents, in plaeo of the gutter behind the cows. Any method tliat adds to cleanliness should be adopted. Never hitch a oolt so that it can break loose, '-yen if you have to use a log-chain. If he once learns that lie can getaway when tied he never will be safe after ward. All the stock should go into winter quarters in good condition. It is cheaper to keep a healthy animal in good condi tion than to attempt to put llesh on one tliat is not thrifty. I tried tlio Bordeaux mixture on po tatoes this year, and I think with good success, as there arc but few rotten ones. 1 don't call it a sure preventive.—S. C. 11., Mcd way, Mass. Do not plant a tree unless you know j how to take- care of it. .Some people will i plant expensive trees and shrubs, aud lind out how to care for or protect them only after the tree lias become the prey of some of its numerous enemies. Let the colt learn to eat oats with the j mare. 'J be mare may lie fed two or three twice a day and bran three or four times a week extra. It is a good idea to force the early growth of the colt, aud by fee ling a little grain its value will t>e cer tainly enhanced. Raspberries cannot be manured too heavily. Nothing is so beneficial to them as a heavy coating of manure on tbe ground around them in winter. It re quires but a short row o«" raspberries for a s_:_ail family, and the size of the berries lar iv depends on the fertility of tlie .oil and the manure given. When storing the farm implements away brush them over with kerosene. It is excellent for preventing rust and for protecting against dampness. Many im plements are placed where they become j covered With dust,, which interferes with j their movements in tho spring. All im- pigments should be kept clean. Comparatively few people have found out what merit there is in gooseberries, how keen and sppetiring the flavor when Used as rhnbarb is, wliile green, and how easily kept iv jars for frequent enjoy ment all through tlie year. .'J have a speeds] and most agn cable flavor. Tho American Bee Journal says: "Milkweed yields hooey plentifully, but it also has queer masses or pollen, which attach themselves to the bees'feet bya glutinous substance which hardens quickly, is difficult to remove after hard ening, and cripple, or kills the bees." Fallow plowing is thought by many to or wasted; hut this is a great mis- By continued experiments it is safe to estimate an average increase of ten per cent in yield.

A nd it is one of the most difficult stupid ities to root out of an ignorant man's mind. It is said that hog cholera destroys 10, --000,00 in this country every year. It is possible that all diseases are "termed hog cholera. The hog is fed on food that alone is sufficient to kill It, and it Is not surprising tbat the loss is so largo, A swill barrel placed in tiie sun. foul in olor, alive with parasites, insects and disease germs, is made the receptacle of the food of hogs, which is. more* or loss poisonous by chemical action.

The Grand Jury Given Some Points by Judge Catlin, He Dissects ths Attorney-General's Document—Matters ln It that Should be Ignored. The Grand Jury held its first regular meeting yesterday at the Courthouse. During the forenoon session little was done outside of mapping out their plans for inquiring into the workings of tho various county olfices, and investigating matters that might come before the body. Word was received during tho session, however, that Judge Catlin desired to ad dress the Crand Jury at L.BQ o'clock on an important matter, and ho requested that they assemble in his courtroom at that time. TUE ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S DOCUMENT. Tho jurors were on hand promptly. Nobody knew what Judge Catlin wanted with them, and it was with much interest that his remarks wero listened to. The Judcrc's address was decidedly pointed, and was in the nature of a sur prise to many. "I nave called you," said he, "to re ceive instructions in relation to the com munication, under date of the l_Uh of this month, addressed to you, the District Attorney, and this court, by. the Attor ney-General of the State. I opies of this communication, have as l am informed. been delivered to each member of the Grand Jury. In brief, and in substance; it is a complaint that on the 17th day of March last, the Legislature, being then in session, there was received at the _>ta_e Capitol the sum of $7,500 in papier cur rency, brought there trom Ban Francisco by some messenger unknown, in eleven packages or envelopes, ;:e eon' lining £-,(..0; ono containing fl,ooo. and nine others each containing live hundred dol lars: that said money was used at the Capitol on that day for some purpose, also unknown, but upon current rumor believed by many to bave been paid to members of the Legislature for corrupt purposes. HABT NOT sunr. •'The Attorney-General does not vouch for the truth of these rumors,"' continued Judge Callin, "but. he declares that, They are of a serious nature, and the charges are made so certain and definite that it is the duty of tho Grand Jury of Sacramento County, now assembled, to investigate these matters thoroughly and impartially.' Tho communication further shows that the Legislature, by a concur rent resolution adopted on the l_th of March, appointed a joint committee to investigate these charges, and thereafter said committee, 'so far a> it could v. itbin the limited time remaining before the close of the session,' mad'- the report of tlie 24th of March, which is _ettorth_at length in the communication of the At torney-General, and to which your atten tion is particularly invited. PLACED IN HIS HANDS. "On the 26th Of March, the day of the adjournment of the Legislature, tho Judiciary Committee of the Senate had under consideration resolutions upon this subject matter, one of which proposed to request the Attorney-General to 'cause the evidence and a copy of the joint com mittee's report to be presented to the Grand Jury of Sacramento County, with the request that said Grand Jury make a thorough examination into all* the cir cumstances connected with the case/ "The committee, after such considera tion, adopted the following resolution: "Menboed. That the whole subject matter of the resolution net tbe committee report ba r.a rr Ito the Attorney', _.__■_.. l to take soeh action In relation thereto aa he __aj deem proper, and that the Governor be i .quested to turn over io the Attorney-General, upon reqna.L all his papers pertaining to .aid mat* terln his possession, to enable the Attorney- Generul to lake such action as he ma. adva .le. "The District Attorney will also co operate with and aid you in all matters pertaining to your duties in this regard. It is in persuance of these proceedings in tho Legislature, as well as from a sense of public duty, that the Attorney-General has taken this action.

6 TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION. Richard Gray Discusses the New Organization. Ho Gives Some Facts and Figures Which Are Quito In teresting. [San Francisco Bulletin, October 19th.] Toilowing is an interview with Richard Gray, Traffic Manager of the Southern Pacific Railroad: Mr. Gray, have 3 Tou any objections to being interviewed relative to forming the proposed Merchants' Traffic Associa- j tie.j) 7 Answer—No, sir; at the same time, I do not know of anything in particular I that can be aeoomplisbc d; yet, I will say j 1 have not looked with apprehension on the formation of the Merchants' Traffic I Association; on the contrary, I should j think such an association, if controlled by J men Of intelligence, must result in the dissemination of more general informa tion on the subject of transportation, which can only result in benefit to tli" carriers as well as to shippers. The over land traffic is more complicated than any similar traffio in the world. Lack of in formation on the subject has been a pro lific cause of misunderstanding; there fore, a traffic association, acting through a manager, or through a small, but well- Beiectea committee, would encounter at the start the necessity for an examination into the reasons for existing arrange ments. We court such examination and Will gladly furnish all information we may have on the subject. Q. —You have remarked that tho over land traffic is complicated—why is this the caso? A. lor tbe reason which is often for gotten, that California is a long distance trom tlie market for most ol her products. Not only docs her wheat have to travel a distance equal to two-thirds tho earth's circumference, but her products marketed in the l nited States have to be trans ported greater distances than is the case with land carriage of agricultural pro ducts elsewhere. For instance: Tlie shortest rail line from this city to Now "York is3,319miles, and to the chief city in tbe Mississippi valley 2,329 miles. The business is further complicated be cause of the necessity for securing over a long distances rates of transporta tion which to managers of Eastern roads seem extremely low, if not unremunera tive. To give you an instance of this: I had occasion tins morning to refer to some annual reports of our Eastern con nections. As far back as _88_, when rates were very much higher than they are at present, the Union Pacific manage ment in its annual report to its stock holders for that voir, stated that while tlie tonnage of freight to and from the Pacific Coast showed an increase over the preceding year, the low rate at which it was carried rendered it tho least profitable of any freight transported by i c company. It was also stated that of the total net earnings of tlio company from freight during the years, the Pacific Coast con tributed '.ut seven and one-half per cent. This was before tlie opening of the (sunset Route, and is a plain indication of the manner in which Pacific Coast traffic was regarded. 11* the pioneer overland linn did not consider the business profita ble, how must it seem to other roads whose interest in it is not so large or so direct! II our Eastern connections do not regard our low-class traffic as desira ble, you can readily understand the tli I ficulty of keeping rates down. To ad just rates and Keep them in harmonious relation is one of tiie chief objects and purposes of the Transcontinental Asso ciation. In fact there is a constant struggle be tweon the various lines because of the varying interests. The Southern Pacific Company, with 2,900 miles within the of Caliiornia, is constantly con tending lor low rates on the products of tlie State, while most of the other mem- j 1 rs of the association whose interests in I California aro secondary to their in terests elsewhere, endeavor to maintain high rates. Bow do transcontinental rates I compare with rates of transportation else where? A.—The fact is, osi all the principal commodities produced in California, rof service considered, rates aro lower per mile than any rail transporta tion on tho globe, lt does not require an .rt to determine thi. Present rate on beans and canned which has b en freely critic; hun dred pounds, or >-i per ton of pounds, from San Francisco to New York. By the shortest lino between cities, which is over the Union Pa cific and Pennsylvania Railroad, distance (19 miles, or at the rate of two-thirds i cent per ton per mile. To Boston it i- _ixty-four hundredths of a cent; to Pittsburg, seventy-seven hundredths of cent; to Cincinnati, eighty-two hun itlis of a cent; to New Orleans, nim tenths of a cent; to Chicago, ninety-one hundredths oi a a nt. Che pr. sent rate on dried fruit and rai sins to Xow York is $1 50 por hundred pounds, or $30 per ton o: (2,000 pounds, which Is just nine-tenths of a cent per ton for mile. To Boston it is .87 of a cent; to hiladelphia and Baltimore ol a cent. Yet by referring to the report of the Interstate Commerce Commission for 3 __> it will be found that th our shipments overland were only 7.000,000 pounds; in 1890 we forwarded East 0,000 pounds. Take dried fruit, the tonnage of which in l_Bo was only about 4 that place. In June, 189 S. the maiq part of the journey will begin from Cape Mohn. But instead of going directly toward ihe North Pole, skroll intends firs. u> pro ceed toward Petermannsland, in order to avoid the dangers arising from the icebergs and glaciers In the west and southw.-t. North of Petermannsland he hope*, to tin 1 unbroken dolds of ice, o. er which he will to the North Pole -.»s di rectly as possible. In esse of an accident, or, if the movement of the Ice beyond Petrmannsland toward ths west and southweat should be so rapid as to make progress Impossible—which is not ex pected be will be able to return to Spits bergen, where soppHes will be found. Under favorable circumstances Ec will try to reach the eastern or western sido of Greenland from the nortben point which he may attain. Thi will find supnlies ::is for the winter. Ths entire distance to be traveled will be about 2.428 kilometers. The journey will days, if the travelers succeed in covering eleven kilometers each day." Death Brom a Heavy Fan.

But it litis no desire to see an in justice done to anyone. Any person familiar with the charac teristics of the California quail cau till at a glance that the birds in thepodn asion of Messrs. Christianson Diersnen are j not of that species. They aro what is known as the Arizona quail. That they were caught in Arizona and shipped from there can no doubt be proven. Assuming that the law of the last Leg islature docs not interfere with Section 631, prohibiting the trapping of quail, and that it is still in force, does it apply to the case in question? Of course, no b y will contend that the California Legislature can prohibit the trapping of quail in Arizona,and there is no law on our statute books prohibiting the ship ment into this Slate from other States or Territories of any kind of game, whether dead or alive. In siiort, our lav. s apply only to game belonging within the borders of the State. This being the case, it is difficult to see wherein the spirit and intent of tho law has been violat'd l.n- parties haying foreign quail in their possession. In deed, if we mistake not, the old Hoard of Fish and Gams Commissioners had Sec tion G3J amended so as to permit the trap ping of quail in this state when ii. might '.'•mod advisable to restock localities that were barren; such amendment, however, is not at hand, and possibly does not exist. Mr. Christianson stated to a RacoßD- Umon reporter last evening that his fn-ni has always b. en careful not to violate the laws in handling game, and he contends that it has not violated them in this in stance. The birds, he says, were not trapped in California, as he can prove. It ia, therefore, difficult to see how the mere possession of a foreign article the importation of which is not prohibited can be in violation of a law framed to ap ply to a domestic article. The object of the Suite law is to pro bhe Increase of game birds, and every person who can bring into the Stats desirable game birds should, in stead of being punished, he rewarded for his enterprise. Indeed, the late Board of Fish Commissioners were praised by the press for having introduce} pheasants trom Oregon and quail from China. The latter were procured by the hundred from Chinamen In San'franciseo. and the Commissioners were glad to yet them. Mr. Routier was thon President oi the Board of Qame Commissioners, and a good one lie was, as everybody knows. it was, too. very commendable in him to call the attention of the authorities to what appeared to be a flagrant violation of ihe law; but we apprehend that neither Mr. Routier nor anyone else will insist on prosecuting a citizen under a techni cality which has been ignored In the past, and which should not apply in a case oi* this kino. There is, however, one moro point to be considered. If the imprisonment of these birds in a small cage comes within the scope of the cruolty-to-animals Jaw, tbe proprietors should be required to 7Vr(.,T I, C J L'-LOOK OUT FOR BOGUS 1 World's air Companies.
