The shipment of cherries Fast from Ban June last week amounted to 444,775 poumbf, in all eighteen earluado. The shipment o cherries to date thin year amount to 1,4(15,870 pound. Iant year the total ihipmcnt was l)7ii,006 pounds. One Oerwaithc, a member ol Com pany F, United stales Infantry, threw popper in the eyes of Jeweler Htuinin at llt'itii'ia, and ran off with a gol! watch, lie was captured, and exeunt',: his act by raying he wiahed to get out of the service. The Daly-West mine at Tark City, T'tiih, has been ordered cloned down. The Diaiuond mine at -Eureka, Nov., has tieen closed down, and the Old Jor dan and (iuleua atlSingbaio, Utah, have also been ordered closed. This is owing to "the fall in silvor. During the. trial of three yonng thieves at San lternardino Saturday it was developed that a number of boys of Uiirblunds, from 10 to 15 years of age, hud an organization called the "Black Diamond," wltlcli carntMl on a system ol mittv robiMtriea. The bova were- eairer readers of cheap sensational literature. As a practical solution of the strin gency of gold in the money market it is IirojioMcu at can rrunciccu initi, 11 tnu iileral eovermiicnt would immediately withdraw all restrictions to hydraulic mining, California before winter would ho in a position to contribute over 15,- 000,000 lit gold. The proposition from interviews with prominent mining men is considered entirely feasible and op portune. . The rabies are now epidemic among animals of all kinds at Quijotoa, A. 1. bevcral persons have had narrow escapes, one man saving himself from a frenzied horse by knocking It down wan a large stone. Tlie ratline is lack ol water on thu mesa, w hereby the coyotes bo ntai. The Tapago Indians say tlie epidemic raged thus years ago, wlien it whs un safe to leave doors open at night for mad coyotes. A young man in Astoria has just sent East for a New York invention which he claims will catch more fish than any other book ever used. By means of a transparent tube or receptacle, live bait, .iiciiiuiiig minnows, cralw, trogi, angle worms, thi-imps or the like, are prCHont- ed in a magnilied form to the fish desired to be caught, while sale from injury 01 beimr bitten. There being a circulation of water through the tube, the bait is kept alive lor an imienntie ponoo 01 time, so that one bait is good for a day's Helling. The test case agreed upon as an out come of the decision of the Washington 1 and Commission on Port Angeles tide binds has been made up. Allen Weir, attorney for Snmuel O. RIorse, petitioned the hoard for findings in Morse's behalf, setting forth in detail compliance with the old law. The board denied the pe tition for specific reasons that local ixiurds were legislated out of existence March 15, and their plats and reports filed since that date were null and void, anil because the appraisement made at Port Angeles was null and void under Section 28 of the new law. Upon this action petitioner applies to the Superior Court for a writ of mandate to compel the State Hoard to so certify In Morse's behalf, as it would have done had no question arisen as to repeal of law of March 2(1, 1890. A formal discussion of the proposed World's Fair in San Francisco was held recently at tlte Palace Hotel, prepara tory toa general meeting later. Herr Comely and Architect Bennett, who ac companied him from Chicago, were present. Herr Comely recited his ex periences in the past with expositions, and told the gentlemen that it was nec essary for San Francisco to take some action at once on the proposition to have the fair, for, he said, 4,000 foreign ex hibitors in Chicago, who had sent him thither to represent them, were anxious to know as soon as possible whether the fair would bo held there ; otherwise they would send their exhibits to Antwerp, where an exhibition is to bo held imme diately after the World's Fair. He also assured the gentlemen that they could certainly count on all the foreign exhib itors coming there, and furthermore, if it were necessary, they would gladly pay for space for their exhibits and also pay their own transportation. It is now considered almost certain that, contrary to the usual custom, the canneries along the Columbia river will bo compelled to pack salmon as far along as October, on ' account of the freat falling off in operations this year, 'all salmon are all of the silver-side, species, and are considered second grade, but. as there is no doubt that the July pack, however large, will leave a dis astrous shortngo, this is the only way out of the difficulty. The total business for the whole season to date is 122,280 ruses, and np to Juno 2(1 last, year the figures were. 184. 017 cases. All the can neries are fully 60 por cent behind their ordinary records, Even the gillnets, which up to two weeks ago were meet ing with cxtraoiditiary success.'liave followed in the wake of the traps and seines and aro now catching next to nothing. The continued high cold water is no doubt mainly accountable for this state of things. Eleven large traps the other morning caught twenty five small salmon between them, and tho whole of the seines together have not brought in more than ten tons of fish since tho season started. The short use has already alleeteil the circnlntiim of nioney in Astoria by close on (300 00!!, and 62 ' less men arb being employed now than last ) ur. NATIONAL CAPITAL. The act of Congress necessitating tfie recent dismissal of sixty-sven clerks, of the general land office provided for a re duction of the field expellees of tlie of fice. A large number of offices will lie consolidated in such a way as to make the number twenty less than heretofore. Assistant Secretary Kcynolds of the Interior Department lias made a pension decision which will become welcome news to a large number of women who ministered to wounded soldiers in the hospitals during tlie lute war. They are to be placed on the pension rolls. The ?uestion arose upon a communication rom the Commissioner of Pensions as to whether those women who superin tended the diet of the sick and wounded soldiers are entitled to pensions. Under the act's provisions Assistant Secretary Reynolds holds these persons are entitled to pensions. The Collector of Customs at El Paso, Tex., has been instructed by Assistant Secretary Spaulding to discontinue at once the practice of admitting sulphides of silver from Mexico without consular invoice and in future not to admit silver bullion from Mexico exceeding $100 in value, alleged to be imported as money, unless accompanied by consular invoice, unless the bullion is shown by the ship per's declaration, made before the con sular officer at the port of shipment, to be forwarded as money or tlie medium of exchange at a fixed value per ounce, and not as merchandise. Inquiry at the Treasury Department discloses the fact that about $15,000 re mains for the enforcement of the several Chinese acts. In July the new appro priation of $50,000 becomes available, so that the aggregate fund available for car rying out tlie Chinese exclusion acts, in cluding the Geary law, will be $5,000. As announced by Secretary Carlisle, the policy of the administration will be in view of a lack of funds to rid the coun try of Chinese who have entered unlaw fully in violation of the previously ex isting laws before endeavoring to send out Chinese who came in lawfully, but are now under the ban of the Geary law, because they failed to comply with its requirements of registration, etc. They are after fraudulent pensioners. A list comprising the names of a number of pensioners recommended by Commis sioner Lochren to be dropped from the pension rolls has been handed to Secre tary Hoke Smith, and he has approved the recommendations. It has been found upon investigation by the pension bu reau that the persona named are for va rious reasons not entitled to draw pen sions. The work of examining the rolls with a view to the detection of fraud will be prosecuted with vigor, and at the same time the current issues will be care fully scrutinized with the same object. Secretary Smith and Commissioner Lochren while prosecuting this work re new the assurances previously given that just as much care will be exercised to secure pensions for those who are enti tled to them under the law as will be need to prevent fraud. Attorney-General Olney hits decided that the appropriations in ide by the act of Congress approved August 5, 181)2, In aid of the World's Fair,' including the appropriation fur the government ex hibit, are as available now as before the decision of tho Circuit Court of Appeal" permanently opening tlie World's fair Sundays, with iliu "iiule '-x.-.mi -hi no more money ought to Ii - p i I tii linois corporation known a ihd W01 i . Columbian Exposition. Tho gMitin-. for the opinion are thai Congress nn a-i that the exposition as a whole should U closed Sunday. It did not, however, un dertake to pass a law to thai effect, Inn contented itself with making certain ap propriations conditional, not uton the fact of Sunday-closing, but upon the Illinois corporation agreeing to the proposition of Sunday-closing, so that regulations to that effect might be made by the government. Representatives of tlie World's Columbian Commission, the Illinois corporation, did agree to the E reposition. Proper rules were made y the Columbian Commission, and the condition upon yhich the appropriations referred to were made must be regarded as fully satisfied. WORLD'S FAIR NOTES. Five days, beginning with October 20, have been designated as Veterans' day at the fair. The New York Sun Informs a corre spondent that it requires $2,000 and three months' time to see the World's Fair. Not many New Yorkers can afford to go West on those terms. Tho postofflce on the World's Fair grounds at Chicago will be left open Sunday hereafter for the purpose of giving the needed mail facilities. This must be regarded as a concession on the part of the government, as the working postofllce on the fair grounds has always been maintained as a part of the exhibit of the Postoffice Department and is therefore a part of the government exhibit. 1 The World's Fair officials authorise the statement that there is no truth in the report that the government has determined to pay out the $750,000 reserve belonging to the exposition from tho United States appropriation. How tlie report that the government intended to issue this money in souvenir coins, thus practically throwing them on the market, started the officials do not know, but it is authoritatively denied. J. C. Bovd, "the Oregon colonizer," has brought suit for $2,000 damages ag.tinat E. W. Allen of Portland for libel and defamation of character. In Illinois conviction might mean impris onment for one year. Boyd alleges that Allen wrote a letter to Dr. J. Guy Iewis( superintendent of Oregon's exhibits, charging him (Boyd) with obtaining money fraudulently in New Orleans. This report, it is alleged, was circulated around the horticultural-building, caus ing great dainngo to tho business and reputation of Boyd. There promises to be a lively legal skirmish. Unless the unexpected should happen, there will be a dairy exhibit at the World's Fair this month. This an nouncement, which was issued by Chief Buchanan of the department of agri culture was received with thanksgiving bv some 1,500 exhibitors, who for the past two nvnithx have been compelled to submit to exasperating delays and financial losses by the failure of the ex position company to furnish facilities lor displaving their products. The chiet cause of complaint was the absence ol any kind of refrigerator service, nnd tht pr .mi-ie is now mad' that this tuaitoi will be recti lied at ouuw.
