MR. WACHTER IS FIRED OUT.

Berlin, August 13. The struggle be
tween the Socialist boycotters and the
ring brewers does not grow lees. Al
though both parties have suffered enough
to welcome an end, neither thinks of
yielding a poiut. The Vorwaerts, which
leads in the fight for the Socialists, with
daily columns of exhortation for friends
and denunciation of enemies, says that
the list of boycotted bouses carries now
some 2,000 names. Many of these houses,
however, are the smallest back yard sa
loons, whose Dusineea interests are
scarcely worth considering. The big
Berlin saloonkeepers still refuse to let
the boycotters use their assembly halls.
The loss to the landlords on this account
, ib heavy, although a part of it it covered
. with, subsidies Irom the .Landlords' Asso-
. eiation. The lack of proper rooms for
. their anti-ring rallies Jias caused the 00-

I ..-paigrt' within reasonably bound. They
threaten the nan owners with severe
penalties as soon as the main struggle
with the brewers shall cease. Many
owners are receiving menacing letters,
warning them that they will be forced
out of business if they do not come over
to the Social Democratic side. .Theodore
Wachter, the perBon who forsook his
calling to devote his energies to spread
ing Socialism, has had trouble with the
Social Democratic leaders, and has been
set out in the cold by them. He wished
to combine Socialism and Christianity
in his teachings, and the mixture ex
cited the disgust of the infidels who
control the party organizat ion. He has
gone to Dortmund to found a party of
his own. He will call his followers
Christian Socialists. He bopes that the
regular leaders will repent and let him
exploit his theories at the Frankfort
National Congress, but be is likely to be
disappointed.

in wheat do not take a hopeful view of
its profitable cultivation in this State
for some time to come at least. Various
causes are ascribed for the present low
prices, and although it is felt that quota
tions can scarcely go lower, it is not be
lieved that prices will return to the old
figures, which made the farmer of the
Pacifjc Coast one of the most independ
ent of men. The increased production
is regarded as but one factor; another is

Knox Will Bun for Sheriff of Yolo County
In California. '
Sacramento, August 14. Harry
Knox, the ex-strike leader, will run for
Sheriff of Yolo county, and his friends
confidently expect his election. There
is good reason to believe that he will be
elected because of the assurances he has
received from a great number of voters
of Yolo county, representing all politi
cal faiths, that they will support him
should he allow hia name to go before
- the People's party ticket. This morn
ing the Chairman of the People's party
County Committee waited on Knox at
lits home in the town of Broderick across
the river, and told him be could have
the nomination by acclamation if lie
consented to permit his name to go be
fore the convention. Knox said that he
was not a politician and was not particu
larly anxious to run. He was a poor
man, and did not have the requisite
wealth necessary to meet his campaign
expenses. He was assured by the Chair
man that all his expenses would be met.
and that his candidacy would not rost.

condition he would consent to run, and
he authorized the Chairman to announce

coming election.

which by some is regarded as the first
and great cause of low prices. The ques
tion which confronts the farmers of the
Coast and California particularly to-day
is whether they can continue to compete
with Russia, India and Argentina in
raising wheat for the English market.
T. C. Friedlander, Secretary of the Prod
uce Exchange, in speaking of wheat
growing and its future outlook in Cali
fornia said to-day :
"Overproduction is one of the two
factors making absolutely low prices.
The cost of production and that of trans
portation have been constantly lessening
since 1873. Transportation to-day is just
about one-third of what it was twenty
years ago. Not only have ocean freights
been reduced, but railroad rateB from the
inland wheat-growing States to the At
lantic seaboard have been correspond
ingly lowered."
WAR SHOULD BE STOPPED.
" Will it not be a troublesome proc
ess?"
' " Oh, I don't know.' I suppose it can
De uone easily enough, it must he done,
anvhow."
The eviction is the very last thing the
people there nave looked lor. Une wom
an of Fulton said:
"Surely they will not put ub out,
Where would we go? We have not
money enough to buy a bushel of coal.
We have no clothes, and the American
public will not stand by and see thou
sands of families rendered homeless."
But that iB doubtlesB what must be
done; so it is necessary that the com
pany take decisive action. The outlook
lor the present population of the model
town is not full of cheer; in fact, it is
desperate.

ficial of the Japanese legation recalled
the fact that the season of the monsoon
and the typhoon is now rapidly ap
proaching. The presence of the former
is not regarded as a menace to sea ma

The typhoon is a rovolving wind storm,
whose effects are disastrous. It is be
lieved by the officials of the legation
that the naval movements during the
typhoon season at least will be some

A Decline In Corn of Nearly Twenty
Six Point.
Washington, August 11. The month
ly report of the Statistician of Agricul

twenty-six porta since July 14. The
average for the entire breadth is 60.5
against 95 for the month of July. The
condition for August, 1803, was 1)0. The
great decline ia due almost wholly to the
extensive and unprecedented severe
drought that has act in since the last re
port, and to the hot, dry winds that have
swept over the States of Nebraska, Kan
sas, Iowa and parts of other Western
States. In some localities the crop has
been injured beyond recovery, while in
others timely rains would go far toward
assuring fair yields. The averages for

Paris, August 16. The trial of tbe an

to-day in the acquittal of all but three
of the accifsed. After counsel for the
defense had finished their speeches,
Fauer, Graves, Bastard and Bernard ad
dressed the court, protesting their in
nocence. Their remarks were couched
in moderate language, denying in every
respect the rant of the anarchists. The
case was then given to the jury, who
spent ' two hours in considering the
questions put to them by the Judges.
The verdict was that the charge against
the prisoners of belonging to a criminal
association was not proven. Artiz, Cheri
cotte and Bertani were found guilty of
robbery and having been in illegal pos
session of weapons. All the others were
declared not guilty of the charges against
them, and were discharged. Artii was
was sentenced to fifteen years' imprison
ment at hard labor; Chericotte to eight
years and Bertani to six months.
The end of the trial was marked by no
incidents. Those who had been ac
quitted left the courtroom quietly.

me assistance oi tne government in for
warding the proposed cargo:
"The pathetic appeal made bv the
Corean Minister in behalf of his starving
people provokes widespread sympathy.
If means of transportation can be se-
lief of these starving multitudes can be

ernment undertake the transportation
irom either Jew fork or ban Fran
cisco?"
It is further proposed to secure the
co-operation of the various boards of
trade and exchanges throughout the
country, and especially at San Francisco
and Chicago. The cargo, when com
pleted, will probably clear from the
former port, and it is believed that a
guarantee of immunity from seizure,
either by Uluna or Japan, will be granted.

Washington, August 11. The river
a.-.d harbor appropriation bill, which has

for three new projects, which have long

the credit of securing their adoption.
They re the boat railroad to overcome
the obstruction at the dalles of the Co

another for a canal to connect Lakes
Union and Washington with Puget
Sound, and tbe third to begin the con
struction of a lock in the Mississippi
river between St. Paul and Minneapolis,
to extend navigation to the last-named
place. The railway project contemplates
a hydraulic lift to raise steamboats out
the water, placing them upon a tramway
car running upon eight or more tracks,
transporting them thirteen miles and re
turning them to the water. The esti
mated cost is $2,000,000. The canal,
which is to connect the waters of Puget

PROPOSED PATENT LEGISLATION.
Objection to It Becaue It Wculd Bene
fit the Telephone Company.
Washington, August 10. Childa of
Illinois has presented a memorial in the
House protesting against the proposed
patent legislation on the ground that it
is to the interest of the American Bell
Telephone Company. The memorial is
signed by Charles 0. Ulrich, who was
Solicitor-General under the last admin
istration. Assisted by several bills in
troduced in Congress, an attempt had
been made to secure an amendment to
Revised Statutes so that a domestic pat
ent shall not be limited in its duration
by the expiration of a foreign patent,
unless the patent in the foreign country
has been granted prior to the date of fil
ing the application in this country. Ul
rich claims the Bell Company is vitally
interested in this proposed legislation
and a great wrong would be done the
American people should the law be
changed. lie cites a number of patents
for which applications have been filed,
and says the legislation proposed will
prolong the life of the Bell Telephone
Company's monopoly for seventeen years
from the date of its last Patent, March
7, 1803. He suggests legislation stating
in explicit terms that the domestic pat
ents shall expire at the same time as the
foreign patent without reference to the
tune when the application was made :
that the monopoly of a patent shall
cease seventeen years after it first came
into use without reference to the time
when the patent was allowed or issued,
and that patent controversies should be
appealed directly to the Supreme Court
that tbey might secure a final settlement
as early as possible.
RECOGNITION OF HAWAII.
It Repreaentatlv Formally Received
at Washington.
Washington, August 11. Frank P.
Hastings, who in the absence of Minister
Thurston is Charge d'Affaires at the Ha
waiian legation here, has been formally
recognized as representative of the new
government. Chairman McCreary of
the House committee on f oreign Affairs
says it is not customary to give publicity
w diplomatic correspondence until It
has reached its destination. Conse
quently the letter to President Dole
will not be made public until sufficient
time bas passed for its reception. The
fact that the existence of the correspond
ence has become known may induce the
President to make it public. The pro
ceedings as to the recognition were
simple and formal. Minister Thurston
on starting for Hawaii had left Secre
tary Hastings as Charge d'Affaires ad
interim for the provisional government
oi uawaii. By tne same mail which
conveyed to the State Department Willis'
notice that he recognized the new Ke-
Eublicof Hawaii Mr. Hastings received
is credentials of Charge d'Affaires ad
interim for the Republic. These were
from Mr. Hatch, the Hawaii Minister of
Foreign Affairs, and were directed to
Secretary Gresham. Mr. Hastings laid
his credentials before the State Depart
ment, and the day before yesterday re
ceived the usual notice stating that the
department had received his credentials
and recognized him as ad interim rep
resentative of the Hawaiian government.

From an interview with Rantivar
Clark of the Oregon Paciflo it was
learned that the road is still holding its
own, with prospects somewhat brighter
for the future. During the month just
closed between 4,000 and 6,000 ties have
been removed and new ones placed in
their stead, and the extensive repairs
begun some months ago on tha Willam
ette bridge at Albany have been com
pleted. The system inaugurated by Mr.
Clark soon after his appointment, has
been carried right along until now the
road is in a better condition both physic
ally and financially than it has been for
over two years. The receiver pays cash
lor everything, and all bills for material
and supplies are discounted, a thing

senger traffic for the past month has im
proved wonderfully over that of former
years. Trains of four and five cars are
run regularly and carry from 100 to 300

In his annual review of the salmon
business, just issued, Mr. Kinney of As
toria says: "After many weeks of un
certainty and an almost confirmed be
lief that the pack would be smaller
than that of any previous year in
the history of salmon-canning on the
Columbia river, the season of 1894
is about to close, and it is safe to
estimate the total pack at 10 per cent
in excess of last year's figures. During
the earl ler portion of the season the gen
eral belief in the four-vear-run theorv
was rudely shaken by the comparative
scarcity of fish, while the destruction of
wheels in the upper river materially in
creased the probabilities of a match-di
minished catch. Htut another cause ior
uneasiness was tbe fact that until quite
recently seining was practically useless.
owing to the vast volume of water which
for weeks rushed down the Columbia
river and its tributaries. Trap-fishing
was also exceedingly poor because of
tbe freshet and the resultant muddy
state of the water. Jt will be readily
seen, therefore, that nothing short of a
phenominally large run of salmon dar
ing the latter days of the season would
enable canners to reach even last year's
figures. But within the past thirty days
the shortage was rapidly decreased, the
catch having been greater than for any
corresponding period for many years
past, considering the quantity of gear in
use.
