Florida need have no fear of over
stocking the market with her semi-tropi.
cal and tropical fruits. We read that
the fruit trade of New Orleans with the
tropical regions is becoming az impor-
tant feature in the general commerce of
the Crescent City. A few years ago a
few small schooners sufflced to carry all
the bananas, cocoanuts, plantains, pine
apples, lemons and other fruits imported
from Honduras, and the business was
not regarded as profitable. But owing
to the increasing demand in the
Western States for these fruits the
trade in them has grown into large pro.
portions, and there are now four steam
ships, in addition to sailing vessels,
engaged in it. They obtain their cargoes
on the islands that lie off the coast of
Honduras and on the mainland, and
bring them to New Orleans, whence
they are distributed by steamboat and
rail through the West and Northwest.
The Honduras Government encourages
the trade by exempting vessels from port
charges and granting them desirable
privileges.

G.adstone's proposition TO put a monu
ment to Beaconsfield in Westminster
Abbey is a creditable and worthy recog-
milton of his longtime opponent in pub.
lie life. 1t is pleasing illustration of
one of the leading English Characters
tics. Love of fair play and respect for
an honorable opponent are sentiments
firmly rooted IN the heart Of the average
Englishman, and it is unfortunate that
the same feelings are not just as securely
anchored In the American breast. Po-
litical rancor too often begets undying
hatred in the conflicts of our public life,
so that it is often that death utterly fails
to purchase forgiveness.

Grain shipments in April.

A dispatch from New York on the
above subject states that the month of
April was one Of unusual quietness in
the shipment Of grain from that port.
The great decrease in the exports is at
tributed to the scarcity of grain. The
universal CRY of shippers, merchants,
brokers and all connected with the ship
ments Of cereals is, Plenty of vessels,
but nothing to ship" Much dissatisfac-
ton and disappointment are expressed
at this state of the market, as it was
confidently predicted that the past month
of April would be one of extraordinary
activity in the grain trade for export.
The total amount Of grain shipped dur
ING the past month was 6,760,6S2 bush
els. showing a falling of from the cor
responding month Of last year Of nearly
1.50O. 900 bushels. During the month Of
April, 1881, the services in whole or in
part were required of 172 vessels of all
denominations, the greater portion Of
WHICH were cttttLlCLo OuAAAS tAS
month Of April, 1880, 235 vessels were
employed in carrying grain to Europe,
which amounted TO S.257, 14O bushels.
A remarkable feature in the ship
ments Of grain to Europe is the grow
ing preponderance of grain-carrying
steamers. Out of a total of 172 vessels
employed in April to carry grain, over
20 per cent. were steamers. During the
corresponding month of last year. out
of 235 vessels employed in the carrying
Of grain to Europe, the percentum of
steamers was q per cent. 1t is pre-
dicted that in short time all sailing
vessels will be driven from this port to
seek market elsewhere. AL connected
with the grain trade are anxiously
awaiting the opening of the canals to
bring grain to this port in such guam
titles as to reduce the price and enable
shippers to load the large number of
vessels now in port waiting for cargo.
It Is predicted that, as soon as the large
fleet of canal boats frozen IN the canal
during transit last fall reach New York
about the both inst, the shipments will
become very active and prices be much
lower.

Says the st. Louis Republican: docs
it mean nothing that while the ship
ments of grain from the port of New
York during the month Of April were
very nearly a quarter less than during
the corresponding month of 1880, the
shipments from the port of New Or
leans were almost double what they
were a year ago7 New York may delude
itself with the idea that this is a mere
temporary squirt, a matter of chance,
but it will have to open its eyes in time.
The down-river movement is no longer
an experiment, but the current of grain
that way is quite as firmly established
now as the current of water"

SHIPWRECKED,

SAN Francisco, CAL, Sept. 2S.-Spanish
town dispatch. The ship Alice Buck from
New York with railroud iron struck the
Hovious rocks two miles below, at 10 min
utes past twelve o'clock this noon, and is
now a total wreck and ten of twenty four
men on board were drowned. The ship
had been leaking for two days and the
Captain signalledfor tug, evidently in
tending to put into Sanfrancisco for re-
pairs. Monday he spoke the steamer
Oceanca and got his course to Sanfrancis-
co at 4 p. m. Monday Captain Herman
Hermingsen thought he was southwest of
Farollones about fifty-five miles and
and steered northeast. Shortly after mid
night the sky being clear and
starry and pretty good sea running
struck with an awful crash on the rocks,
not fifteen hundred feet from high bluff
The two mates and part of the crew were
insanity panic stricken and jumped from
the ship into the water. That was the last
ever seen of them. The captain and the
rest of the crew with life preservers, only
left the ship when there was not enough
of the fast breaking hull to stick to. Some
reached the shore assisted by people on
the bluff, and the others were picked up
by the steamer Solinda. Capt Hermieg
was picked up after being in water nine
hours, supported by two life preservers
The following were lost: VIM. Barry, first
mate; D. Crocker, second mate: George
Parker, poy, David Black, Chas. Reader,
Pat Welch and John Gunnison, .seamen,
and two Cinnamon, cook and steward.

office, MacVeagh rendered his resignation
in writing. He hSd also assured the Pres
ident that his resignation was not form,
but fact, and he hoped it would be conven
lent to designate successor by the time
that the Senate met in special session.
MacVeagh added that on public grounds
he felt no difficulty in pursuing the course
his feelings dictated The only political
work he considered important at this time,
was the work of administrative reform
including the exposure and relentless pur-
suit of all plunderers of the public
treasury. If Arthur engages heartily and
thoroughly in that good work, as he hoped
and believed he would, then he was entitled
to the credit of doing it with an Attorney
General of his own selection, and not with
one inherited from President Garfield.
Senator johnson says that Senator Ben
Hill viii probably never be able to fully
discharge his duty as Senator, although he
may be able to appear at the called session
to vote. Senator Platt, of Connecticut,
who is i'll, viii pair with Hill should he SO
desire it.

General and Attorney General to push the
star route prosecution vigorously now and
to do it Immediately. Col. G. w Bliss

rangement was not to be binding on those

for the Republicans and Garland for the
Democrats were the originators OF
the talk and they notified their party
friends by mailand telegraph that caucuses

by their respective parties, and if agrae-

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-At the treasu-
ry department it is believed that several
millions of dollars worth of bonds not in
cluded in the S20,000000 call will be re-
deemed. All the bonds specified in the
call are extended 6s at 81 per cent, and it
is the intention and policy of the secretary
OF the treasury to continue to purchase
bonds as the state of the finances may
warrant, and to call in all the extended 6s
before beginning on the 5s. Of the IS
now outstanding and bearing interest
at 81 per cent, S17S,000,00O The present
cali viii reduce this to $15S, ,OOO. 900 with
further reduction depending upon the
proportion of uncalled 6s which NAV be in
cluded in the weekly $4,000, 900 purchases
The reason gwen for these purposes is that
the government can obtain them upon bet
ter terms than on any other bonds and pre-
fers to let banks and bankers pay the pre-
MUM on Is and 43s rather than the
treasury,
MacVeagh stated this evening that he
recognized to the fullest the propriety Of
President Arthur's selecting his eonfiden-
tial advisers of gentlemen who had hereto
fore sustained relations not only of person
al goodwill but of political sympathy
with him. Indeed, he did not think that
any administration could be strong, If
there existed any ground for suspicion or
distrust among the members. As soon,
therefore, as Arthur had taken the oath OF

A SENSATIONAL STORY.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-A Mr.. Bogley
who is employed in the army medical
museum, has created something of a sen
sation in police and official circles by filing
sworn statement with the chief of police
that he had overheard plot to assassinate
President Arthur. Bogley.s affidavit is in
effect that about midnight last Monday
night, while laying on his bed, which was
in lower front room fronting on Mis-
souri avenue, he heard two men talking
of the assassination Of President Arthur.
Bogley states his window blinds were
closed and the men were leaning against a
the box Immediately in front of his room,
that one of the men said it would happen
in one month, that he was referring to
some man whose name is not mentioned,
who had sworn to kill President Arthur
within that time, and that the man who.
had thus sworn was q Garfield Re
publican. Bagley says he was so
much agitated he did not know
what to do. The next day he informed
the chief clerk of his derision of what he
had heard and he advised Bayley to report
the facts to the police. Upon this advice
Bayley filed his sworn statement. The
police authorities do not attach much i'm
portance to this matter but have quietly
taken some precautions, for the protection
of the president. There seems to be no
doubt that Bayley overheard the conver
sation he reports. But 1t was probably
some half drunken fellows talking. Bay
ley is a nephew of FL. P. Bayley
of Virginia, who was the Republican can
didate for congress last year and was ap-
pointed to office by Senator Logan. He
has written to Senator Logan
an account of the affair.
Bogley says he can recognize the men.
No arrests have been made.

DIR. BOYNTON.

CLEVELAND, Sept 27.-Boynton was
interviewed to-day. He said: There is
not word of truth in the statement that
at Elberon Agnew and Hamilton remon-
strated with me for making public opinions
not in accord with their own, regarding the
Presidents case. Our personal relations
were cordial l thought nearly all the
serious symptoms and complications arising
about August 1st, were due to blood
poisoning, and that serious lung trouble
developed from the same source. Before
the removal | understood that the presence
of blood poisoning was not admitted by the
attending physicians, until a few days be-
fore his death. The presence of serious
lung trouble was also denied. They attri-
buted the cough to simple bronchial ca
consider the lung trouble due to
py@mia. 1t was of the nature of
metastic assesses. When the lung tissue
was divided the pus pured out in abun-
dance, mainly from the minute bronchial
tubes and that peculiar congestion of the
lobules of the lungs which constitute the
first stage of metallic assesses was exhibi
ted in marked degree. This condition of
the lungs constitutes one of the most COM
mon complications in pyamia and essen
tally differs in nature from ordinary bron-
chial pneumonia. There were no pus
cavities in the lungs. In many cases of
metastic assesses of the lungs, no pus
cavities are formed. In this case there
were no symptoms during life of the pus
cavities.
Being asked to make a full statement,
he said: Il am not authority for such re-
port. | didn't state that the ball was ac-
cidentally found loose and rafting around
in wash bowl. l may have stated it in
private conversation, not expecting it to
be made public. When the contents Of
the abdominal cavity were removed and
placed in a washbowl, the ball was con-
veyed with them into the bowl. where it
was found after the failure to find it in the
region of the pus cavity, which had been
mistaken for the track of the ball.

Army officers say Col. Rockwell retires
from the position of Superintendent of
Public Buildings and Grounds, because of
the showing made by Genl. Drum, Adjt
Genl. of the Army that the position was not

up under the preceding administration,
through a neglect to comply with the law.
Judge Advocate General Swain overruled
this decision, but there was much feeling
over it, and particularly because Rockwell
was promoted over the heads Of persons
older in the service. The case would have
been brought to the notice of the Presi
