Geronimo Kliziililo, a Fronchman who haa resided in Cocopali county, A. T., for vearn. baa fuel arrived at Yuma. He aaya the atory of Fergution Cline and party relative to tlio finding of a lottt city went of Yuma ia without foundation. Senator White vinited Mare Inland navy yard recently, and thoroughly in apected tiie bitmncM methoda of the government. Through the heads of the various department ho obtained much information, and waa enabled to take notes of many things that are needed to place the inland in close buainwa condi tion with Eastern navy yards. The Sun Dlcito Union says: Several psta new to this part of the country lave latlev been discovered by Horti cultural Commissioner titninls, among which are the hlack aphis, the woolly aphis, the Norfolk Island pine scale and the Telranychusa macuiatas, commonly known as the six-snotted mite. Borne of the above have never before been known west of the Rock) Mountains. John McLauirhlin. foreman of the Providence mine at Nevada City. Cal., beat Charles Kunge over the head with a two-round weiuht. and fractured his skull. This enraged the miners, and after McLaughlin was released by the court on a bail of 5,UU0 he had to be es corted by olliciala to his hotel, a crowd following and shouting to " Hang mm." If there hud been a leader among these men, it ia believed McLaaghliu would have been strung up. Twenty-seven canneries are packing salmon on tlio Fraser river this year, and 1,326 boats are at work. Bockeye salmon, which is the only variety packed there in large qualities, are running now in immense numbers, the average tako by steady fishermen being 1,000 for twelve hours. The run has never been better tha i at present, and tlio canner ies cannot get away with the quantity of linh supplied them, thouuh some of them are packing 1,500 canes daily. Recently fish were so plentiful that 6 cents each was the price an kid by many fishermen ; but, owing to the great supply, num tiers were unable to sell. If the run contin ues ten tlays longer, as it doubtless will, the pack will aggregate fully 450,000 cases the largest ever put up on the Fraser river-, while some canners expect the pack to run over 600,000 cases. Every packing establishment has madd preparations to pack to their full capac ity, and will fill every can. The following item ia from a recent issue of tho World's Columbian Illus trated, the oflleiul organ of the exposi tion: "Oregon has adopted a unique and practical method of displaying the woods produced in that State. At Jack sou Turk there is a house constructed entirely of Oregon woods. It is ten feet square' and nineteen feet high, and is surmounted by an open cupola. Tlio body of the structure is a yellow pine. The roof is of red-cedar shingles, and is supported by four Doric columns. The columns are of maple, and are very rich ly carved. The roof of the cupola is supported by four small Doric columns of carved ouit. Tho Interior is 'finished with panel work containing about all the woods of the State, among which are manzatiita, madrone, yew, laurel, myr tle, ash. maple, oak, spruce, balm, fir, sugar pine, bird's-eye pine, cherry, curly maple and alder. The house forms the Oregon pavilion in the forestry building." Here is another high compliment in a recent editorial correspondence to the ft. .Joseph (Mo.) Herald : "Adjoining the exhibits of Missouri in both the hor ticultural and agricultural buildings are tlio displays of Oregon, the Legislature of which State appropriated a scant l(ti0, 000 in all for the purpose of properly representing the State's resources and Industries at the World's Fair. The con trast between the two displays is so great as to put nil MisHonrians to shame. In the Oregon booth in the horticultural building over sixty varieties of apples aro shown fresh and beautiful on plates, while there are countless jars and boxes of peaches, plums, primes, etc., so ar ranged as to demand the attention of all who pass. Visitors rush through the dusty Missouri space to get into tho Or egon booth and admire the products of the far Western State as arranged eo captivatingly. The same is true ot the agricultural exhibits. While the Mis souri pavilion is more favorably located It does not command one visitor, while dozens visit Oregon and inspect her honest exhibits of grain and grasses and the general product of the farm. Her wheat is shown in two-bushel sacks, and all who wish to examine it have only to delve into the tacks and try a handful." INDUSTRIAL ITEMS. The Tcrre Haute distillery, the largest in me world, win soon resume opera- IIOIIS. The export of American hay to Eu rope creates much comment " across tho water." India ink is made in Japan from the soot obtained by burning the shell of an ony nut. Jerusalem has taken a new start in the line of progress and established a urewery. Liberia exports 1,000,000 pounds of collee annually, Une-hall ol It goes to ucrmany. Skunks are bred on New York farms. Their skins are deodorized, and become valuable in the fur markets. One of the most curious farms In the United States and one of the most prof itable is a frog farm in Illinois. The Iron Moulders' Union of North America entered upon the thirty-fifth year of its existence July 5 last. In Japanese saws the teeth point to ward the handle, and both saws and planes cut toward the workman. From the American aloe tree is made thread, needles, ropes, rabies, paper, clothing, soap, sugar and brandy. Ventilated boots are an improvement welcomed by many who think their feet nevti a little iresii air an me time. A cloth of very fine texture is made from the bark of the paper tree, a mul berry growing in the South Sea Islands. The maize crop of the United States rovers an area greater than England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Denmark. Tho Mexican Land and Improvement Company of Kansas will experiment witli coffee-raising on a largo scale in Mexico. The citv of London drinks every year 4r,IHKi,lUU gallons of malt liquor, ,inj, 000 gallons of wine and 1,600,000 gallons of spirits. The linen industry in Ireland gives employment to upward of 100,000 per sons, and has an estimated capital in vested of 75,000,000. ; Tho world's agriculture occupies the attention of 20,000,000 men, represents acspital of (224,000,000,000, and has an annual product of over 120,000,000,000. We have stored in the Federal Treas ury :!02,lKX),000 silver dollars; we have 6H!000iO00 silver dollars in circulation and about (80,000,000 in smaller silver coin. Wall paper is made to imitate cretonne closely, and in these designs is enjoying a wide sale among artistic folk, who find it a beautiful background to the orna mentation of the room. Some idea of the slaughter of ele phants can be secured from the fact that in Zanzibar alone some 600.000 pounds of ivorv an marketed every season from the tusks of 10,000 elephants. Statistics of new mill construction. compiled by the Textile World, show that 102 now mills were erected in the six months ended June 30, 18113, as against 135 for tho corresponding period in 1HH2. The human hair is absolutely the most profitablecrop that grows. Five tons of it are annually imported bv the merchants of London. The Parisians harvest up ward of 200,000 pounds, equal in value to 80,000 per annum. The development of the lace Industry In Ireland has been a great boon to the impoverished people. In embroidery alone 12,000 girls are employed, and 1,007), OOU dozen Handkerchiefs were sent hist year to the American market. By irrigat ion 25,000,000 acres are made fruitful in India alone. In Egypt there aro about 6,000,000 acres and in Europe about 5,000,000. The United States have just begun the work of improving waste area, and have already about 4,000,000 acres of irrigated lands. , PERSONAL MENTION. King Carlos of Portugal leaped from his carriage the oWier day to interfere with a fight and prevent a probable mur der. His Majesty overpowered the stronger party, and turned nim r te the police. Little Queen Wilhelmina of Holland is 13 years old, and her doctor after a study of her constitution says that she has used up just eighty years worth of nervous force. Her life is too exciting lor a person ol iter supersensitive nature. Ex-Premier Mercier, accompanied by 0. Desmarais, has left Montreal on his tour through the t rench-Canadian cen ters in New England, where he will de liver addresses advocating the advantages to be derived from Canadian independ ence. . General Alelandro Ybarra. who has been mentioned as a coalition candidate for the Presidency of Venezuela, is now residing in Boston. He married tho daughter of Thomas Russell, who was United States Minister to Venezuela un der President Grant, ,;r ' K. 8.' Hanjitsintjl, a young Sikh Prince, is this year a contestant in the Em-listi university cricket mutches and one of tho best all-round members of the Cambridge eleven. He is called simply " Smith " by his daily associates, who can't catch his right name. Through the efforts of Mrs. Lewis Rice of Frederick, Md., enough money hits been collected to put an imposinx monument over the grave of Francis Scott Key, author ol ' The Star-Spangled Banner." His remains are interred in a Georgetown (D. C.) cemetery. Miss Kate Kane of Chicago gives no tice that she is out for a Judgeship. She is willing to accent a nomination from either of the political parties or from lmth of them, but, if ignored, will run independently. , It is apparent that Miss Kane believes in the wearing of gowns by Judges. ' , ; .. . r - Frederick Emerson Brooks, tho Cali fornia poet, is a sylph-like creature, weighing 250 pounds. He has a face like the full moon, but it lights up marvel- ously when he begins to recite one of his quaint, droll ana pntnetio poems lor a roomful of his friends. He is a native of New York State, but has fived in San t raneisco for soventeen years. General J. C. McKibben of Maryland, who was the second of Senator Broder ick in the duel with Judge Terry in Cali fornia, which resulted in Broderick'a death, is still hale and hearty. Speaking of the duel the other day, he said that it was a most unfortunate aftair, and that there waa really no cause for it. There was nothing in the langttago used ov uroueriua tnat itistineo tiie com Da t, but the state of feeling in California at the time was such that duels were fought upon very flimsy pretax ot upon none at all. EASTERN NEWS. Present Indications of the Corn and Oats Crops. THE GRASSHOPPER IN TEXAS. Wheat Crop In Canada Whites on the Cherokee ' Strip Sugar Crop of Louisiana. Reading (Pa.) Council has voted $6, 000 to fight the smallpox. Grasshoppers have destroyed several crops of corn in the vicinity of Pilot Knob, Tex. . Canada's total wheat crop this year will be about 10,000,000 bushels larger than last year. Baby Ruth is to have a Shetland pony thirty-eight inches high, which has been sent to the President from Scotland. Louisiana has a large prospective su gar crop in sight, and she is anxious to know what Congress is going to do with it. ' . Three negroes by a stratagem jbed the Pacific Express Company at Wich ita, Kan., of about $7,500 in currency and silver. It is said that full v 25,000 whites have settled on the Cherokee Strip and threat en to make trouble if the government attempts to eject tliean. A radical reorganisation of the coast survey is contemplated by Secretary Carlisle. Some of tl changes mas re quire Congressional action. The Pennsylvania ailroad system is said to have decided to substitute the lomr-distance telephone for the telegraph in tiie operation of its lines. . The death rate of children nnder 6 vears of age in New York week before last was 63 per cent otthe total number. or 703 out of a total ot 1,257. For the first time on record passengers have recently been able to breakfast in London on Sunday and dine in New York on the following; Friday. From present indications the country will have ftillv 400.000,000 bushels more of corn and 60,000,000 bushels more of oats than were produced last year. Two hundred and three inmates of the Kansas Soldiers' Home, who have been treated for alcoholism, have left the home, able to maintain themselves. A St. Paul special savs it is estimated that 3,000 to 4,000 idle men are there and hundreds more arriving daily. Many are from railroads and mining regions. All fears of trouble from idle working- men at Denver have disappeared. Those who have not left the tity will be given employment in conte&iJlated public im provements. The new Chinese Minister, who will arrive in Washington about the middle of this month, will replace the present legation of nine persons witn a mucn more imposing suite. There la apprehension that trouble mav arise between the whites in South ern Florida and the Seminole Indians over the thrashing of one of the chief's sons, who was caught poaching. The slaughter of the innocents now going on in Cleveland is something ter rible. Twenty-two deaths from cholera infantum and kindred diseases were re ported at the health office the other day. A defalcation of tlO.600 haa been dis covered in the cash of the National Bank of Paterson, N. J. Abram Fardon, the paying teller, was arrested, and con fessed. He is 60 years old and unmar ried. Because a reporter at Denver had crit icised the conduct of Governor Waite the latter and his nephew threw the re porter out of the Governor's office when Ke called to see if there was a news item to be got. It is reported at Springfield, 111., that William Whitman, the American Ex press Company's absconding cashier from that place, is in Mexico, and requi sition papers will be applied for to cap ture mm. The reported robbery of Mrs. Amnion at Chicago by men who personated de tectives is earn lo navo uwa auiipiy a ruse of the woman to secure a present to make up for the supposed loss from an old and wealthy friend. The fight of the miners in Southeast ern Kansas is still on, but the importa tion of negro miners from Alabama Has weakened the strikers, for the new ma terial are good workmen and fill the places of the men who quit work. The Brooklyn pharmacists are endeav oring to break up the practice of selling drugs to the big dry-goods stores, and have asked the District Attorney to make a charge against one of the mer chants in order to make a test case. It is stated at Providence. R. I., that $15,000,000 worth of certificates of the Northern Pacific Grain Elevator Com pany of Minnesota are afloat in the country and there is but 50 per cent of their value in wheat in sight as security. For the first time since the passage of the Sherman silver law the Treasury in July failed to buy the full quota of 4,500, 000 ounces of stiver. The total pur chases for the month were 2,384,000 ounces, leaving a shortage of 2,116,000 ounces. . Secretary Hoke Smith was hanged In effigy by enraged citizens of Rome, a little town in Adams county, O., Satur day night. A number of pensions had been suspended there, and the climax was reached when the pension of J. L. Reed a veteran of the Eleventh Illinois Cavalry, aged 83 years, was dropped. The navv officials do not admit that the krag-Jorgensen is a satisfactory gun, and thev believe that Amorican invent ors can "supply a much better one. The Krag-Jorgensen gun will have to show Itself far superior to all other arms to insure its adoption by the navy, whose board will soon convene at Newport, R. I., to examine the latest inventions in that line. Assistant Secretary of the Interior Reynolds in answer to questions con cerning recent pension suspensions says : " We are simply correcting abuses and 5 lacing all pensions nnder the act of one 27, 1890. on an equality. We are pledged to make the pension roll a roll of honor, and will continue this work nntil the people, woo demanded tne re form, shall eall a halt." WORLD'S FAIR NOTES. The daily cost of operating the World's Columbian Exposition is (16,000. A straw hat, plaited entirely by Queen Victoria, has been sent to Chicago for exhibition. Missouri will have eight herds of thor oughbred cattle of the different breeds at the World's Fair. French and English newspapers now publish exhaustive correspondence from the World's Fair; some of it very amus ing. Arrangements have been made for ex cursions of colored people from the South to the World's Fair, and it is expected that 250,000 will thus be added to the attendance. The Boston Journal opened up t cou pon contest for ladies to go to the World's Fair. Miss Lizzie Borden received the highest vote, 100,000, but declined to ac cept, and the next highest was awarded the prize. One of India's potentates, the Mahar ajah of Kapurthala, has reached Chi cago, accompanied by one of his wives and his retinue. The Maharajah has come to see the fair, and will stay until he has "done" the exposition thor oughly. At the present rate the total attend ance at the World's Fair for the six months it is open will be 25,000,000. But the estimate was for a total of 35,000, 000. The best months are yet to come, and perhaps the higher figures will be reached. The picture, " In My Studio," in the German section of the art exhibits at Chicago has been slashed with a knife. The painting is by Kahler, who, it is thought, had the picture cut so as to at tract attention. Artists think the in jury can be repaired with little trouble. The bonds of the World's Fair offi ciils, found guilty recently by Judge Stein of contempt of court in violating the Clingman injunction by closing the fair to the public Sunday, July 23, have been filed, thereby suspending proceed ings pending the action of the Appellate Court. The case in which the parties are held to answer cannot take prece dence on the Appellate Court calendar, and at the earliest possible time will not be called before the end of next Octo ber. Chief Buchanan in charge of the stock exhibit at the World's Fair has an nounced the result of the cheese contest, which has been in progress there several weeks. The test waa pronounced most complete, most carefully conducted and the most thorough ever made. The con test was between twenty-five cows of Jersey, Guernsey and Shorthorn breeds each. The result is as follows, being a decided victory for the Jerseys : Milk in fifteen dayB Jerseys, 13,296 pounds; Guernseys," 10,938 pounds ; Shorthorns, 12,186 pounds, cneese made jerseys, 1.461 pounds: Guernseys. 1.160 pounds; Shorthorns, 1,077 pounds.

Further instructions in regard to the acceptance of Chinese certificates have been issued to the Collector of the port of New York. The order calls for the detention of Chinese upon the vessels bringing them to this country until the Consular certificates are fully investi gated and nntil the bearers are fully identified ; in fact, until there ia not the slightest doubt as to theiaaright to enter the United States. The circulation statement issued by the Treasury Department shows that the amount of gold and Biker coin and cer tificates, United States notes and na tional bank notes in circulation August 1 was (1,611,099,117, an increase during July of (17,237,606. The increase dur ing the last twelve months was in round figureB (9,000,000. The per capita cir culation, based on the estimated popula tion of 67,066,000, August 1 was (24.02. Minister Blount's report on the Ha waiian situation has been received. It is long and very comprehensive. The an nexation plan is discussed in all details and the conclusion drawn that Hawaii ans do not want annexation. Minister Stevens' act in raising the American flag and landing the marines is referred to at length, and the report puts that indi vidual in anything out an enviable light. The idea of annexation is shown to have been the desire not of the people, who according to the principles of this gov ernment have the right to govern, but ol the few. The report will probably not be made public until sent to Congress. When published the popular feeling in favor of annexation will, it is believed, be allayed. The result of the report, so those who have seen it say, will be that the government will permit the Hawaii ans to govern themselves, and no other government will be allowed to interfere. That a desperate fight is to be made to repeal the Geary Chinese exclusion act during the extra or regular session of Congress ia no longer doubted bv those interested in Washington. While Rep resentative Geary claims to have learned nothing definite as to the administra tion's attitude toward the law, he ac knowledges that it would not surprise him if there were a mighty effort made by the enemies of the bill to either re peal it in Congress or originate some other plan to nullify it. Mr. Geary would neither affirm nor deny the report that the Chinese Six Companies had levied another assessment on all Celes tials in the country to raise a corruption fund to lobby through its repeal at the coming session. He did say, however : " It is possible that the Six Companies will not be able to collect the (5 per head assessment said to have been recently levied. Chinamen are very much dis- S leased over the ill success of the Six ompanies in expending the last money they paid to prevent the passage of the law or to have the fight made against its constitutionality in the Supreme Court. There is a possibility, however, that inese mongolians may come up smiling again with the money asked for. I don't know what kind of a tight I may have to make provided I and other advocates of the law are again called upon to as sert our rights.' It is believed that Geary has received a tip from some ad ministration official that the administra tion will not act in any direction nntil after the arrival of the new Cainca Minister.
