From The San Diego CCalJ Union

From the san Diego (Cal.) IntOn.
Wchad the pleasure Yesterday of an interview
with Mr. | c. Stanchticld of Ventura county,
who has been making tour of the counties of
Southern California aS well as the neghbOring
Mexican territory of Lower California, collect
ing samples of the different kinds of wheat
grown. This gentleman has introduced in
! California the new cereal ofwhich mention was
recently made by the GEio0, and which is at
tracing very general attention among the
farmers II i u variety of wheat not hitherto
known outside o. Mexico It's special qualities
are l) freedom from rust; ~ very large,
Iplump grains. covered hv long hull Of coarse
| fibre, much resembling the husk of corn; 90
extraordinary yield. Mr. Stapchfcld gives the
following account of the manner in which he
became acquainted with the merits of this
grain While in Lower California, a short time
since. he saw some of ihs wheat nj ranch,
about II miles from Santo Tomas, ana brought
away samples of it, The rancherO told him
that about two years ago a whale ship came 10
Santo Tomas, on board of which was a man
having somewhat less than pound of seed
wheat, which he offered to the ranchero for a
dollar The latter thought the price large for
so small quantity, but noting the large size
of the grains, finally bought il for Seyenty-tive
cents This year the mnchero will gather two
hundred pounds although the stock has been
| in the field and destroyed much of the grow
ling grain \ Mexican has informed Mr. ;.
that this kind of wheat is grown in the ooun.
try back Of Acapulco where it was brought
/ from colder region; but he does not know
the original home of the grain. We have a
/ few of the grains given us by Mr.. Stanchfield.
| II appears TO be a distinct species of wheat
hut If it should Ie of a stock heretofore known,
the peculiar climate and soil Of Lower Cali
! lfonia have transformed il into its present
character As the soil and climate Of South
ern California are the same rs in the valleys be-
low the line this grain cannot fail to prove a
great success with our farmers. II Is the opin-
ion Of experienced wheat growers and dealers

Two questions have been asked over
They are, How did the Tribune get pos
session of all those cipher dispatches 2"
and How could it discover the keys by
which they were deciphsred?"
The answer TO the first question is not
publicly known. 1t is rumored that the late
VIM. Orion, President of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, becoming
alarmed at the action of the Congressional
Committee. gave them 10 the late Senator
Morton for safe keeping, and that after the
death of the latter gentleman, the dis
patches were found among his effects.
Whether there is any foundation for this
rumor, or not. we are unable to say
The answer to the second question which
We clip from one OF our exchanges, is as
follows:
The man who deciphered the famous cipher
kilograms Is MIR. Hassard. one of the editors of
the Tribune, who is said to be the most versa
tile man connected with the New York press
There was bushel basket full of the dispatches
and Mr.. Hassard worked six weeks on this
msss OF engmas without getting point or
useful suggestion. He then began to work on
the dates the number of words in the several
classes OF kilograms, looked up the occurrences
happening in the localities of the dates in ques-
lion. the noted persons In the localities al the
time, ETC., and before he knew the tangled
threads began to unwind. and in fortnight he
was 10 possession Of the whole secret. With
slight help, more Of a clerical character than
otherwise, Mr.. Hassard has done the whole
work on which the Tribune is making such u

Attempted Assassination of the Young
King Of Spian.

las King Alfonso was driving in one of
the streets OF Madrid on Friday evening, "A
man in a blouse discharged pistol at him.
The King was not touched. however, and
continued on his way to the palace amid
the acclamations of the crowd The as
sassin was Immediately seized by soldiers
aid taken to prison. The would-be assas-
sin OF the King is named Juan Moncasi,
aged %. by trade cooper and a native of
Tarragona. He states that he is a member
of the International Society and that the
deed was premeditated. His bullet struck
no one. Moncasi was rescued with diff
Guilty from some women who threatened
to lynch him. All the foreign ministers
and diplomatists in Madrid congratulated
the King on his escape
1t is reported that the King is DESTROYS of
showing clemency TO Moncasi, but it Is
thought probable that the council of Mil
listers will favor his execution as a warn
Ing to his fellow communists. The com.
mune appears TO be thoroughly organized
throughout Europe and the result OF its
teachings is shown in the frequent attempts
on the life of some national ruler. Great
numbers of these communists have already
come TO this country and are diligently
fonenting dissatisfaction among our labor
Ing classes. They find the principles Of
the National or Greenback party congenial
TO their turbulent spirits, being opposed to
all forms of government that will not sup
port them in idleness, and iavoriny every
move looking towards the overturning of
long and well established principles OF
government.

Grievances.

The English government seems TO be
disturbed over the fact that parties i'm the
United States have been BUILDING ships of
war and contracting to furnish war sup.
Plies TO Russia. 1t is understood that "A
correspondence on the subject. has taken
place between Marquis Salisbury aud
Secretary Evarts in which Salisbury in
sists that the United States will be held to
very strict accountability on the princi-
pies laid down on the question of neutral
ity by Evarts' predecessors. and which re-
ceived formal sanction in the three rules
adopted by the joint commission at Geneva.
Another serious question has come up in
connection with the Halifax fishery award.
Ii will be remembered that a number of
American fishermen were driven from sta
tons on the Newfoundland coast, in Jan
uary last. having their fishing tackle de-
streyed and business broken up. Sails
bury claims that it was UNSUITABLE on the
grounds that the fishermen were infring-
ing certain local regulations not embraced
in the treaty. Secretary Evarts declines
to accept the opinion of The Marquis and
calls on the British Government to deter
mine whether the American fishermen
pursuing their business under terms of
solemn treaty, are liable to violence at the
hands of petty local authorities for infring-
ing local regulations not embraced In the
treaty. Mr.. Evarts asks for settlement OF
this question before paying the award,
the time for payment OF which expires
Nov. Path.
