AFTERNOON SESSION.
San JOSE, November 14th.-At the Fruit
Growers Convention this afternoon, after the
routine business had been disposed Of Pro.
fessor G. II. Dwiuelle, President of the State
horticultural Commission, read speech,
showing tie great advantages resulting from
a systematic effort 10 the destruction of pests,
and from the calling of the Convention. He
referred to the difficulties encountered BY the
Board of State Horticultural Commissioners,
who do not receive a cent for their services,
but have been striving to preserve an indus
try in which their all is invested. The princi-
pie for which they are contendiug is con-
tanned in the saying, so use your own
as not to injure others" The primary OBJ
ject of this Convention is to ascertain the
views of fruit culturists and others as to
legislation for the preservation Of our fruit
| interests, and compare notes as to the most
effective methods of combating the plaques
of the orchard. The Professor outlined the
effectiveness of the work of the Commission,
showing the proved practicatility eff SUPPRESS
ing the pests. The County Boards have
efficiently aided the State Board in the work,
and it is important that the right meg,
who have faith in the practicability
of suppression, should be appointed
to these Boards. Some impedineuts
have arisen from Tot understanding the power
of the Commission, under which any resident
of o county can enter complaiBst against
any person within thai county for harboripp
noxious insects and that the limits of that
right phould be extended to the whole State.
Tho law, although effective rs far as enforced,
is not tyrannical, and gives ample notice, too,
that persons who have pests on their places
can themselves get rid of them, and their
trees can only be destroyed by order of
Court, after they have refused to take
the requisite steps themselves. There
is policy as wei as principle in
enforcing that law. The presence of the
pests cannot lorg be kept secret, and their ex-
tirpation enhances the value of lSld % to
100 per cent. II is safer to locate an orchard
in an old settled district where they have
been exterminated, than in new one where
they have not appeare'. Within two years
past California has made greater progress
than any other State in solving the insect
problem, both by legislation and experiment,
and we can all aid in forming public opinion
in this direction. He concluded by referring
to the subject of markets. transportation.
etc. He was followed by Matthew Cooke,
Chief Executive Officer of the horticultural
Commission, who narrated in detail the work
of the Commission during tbs past year, and
the fmpedimen.s from the resistance TO the
law of Lusk & Co. He also detailed the
successful experience of the Commission at
some length. There were .hsn essays and
descriptions on pruning and other topics. The
Convention will be continued two Gays more.
Chinese Certificate Cases.
SAN FRANCISCO. November 14th.-In the
case of Fook All Helm, Chinese merchant,
who arrived on the steamer Coptic, and was
not permitted to land, Judge Hoffman, of the
United States District Court, to-day sus-
tanned the writ of habess corpus permitting
him to land. The ground of the decision was
that although the applicant had no certif-
cate, it was proved by sufficient evidence that
he was merchant, and consequently needed
none. Three other Cinnamon are detained
on the Coptic, and the District Attorney
thinks that evidence must be produced in
Court TO admit of their landing but judge
Hoffman expressed an opinion that the Col
lector of the Port could make inquiries, and
If satisfied that they were merchants, could
allow them to land.
