Efforts to Ship Raisins Into This Country
From the Plague Districts of Spain.
SAY Francisco, September 2.-Consider-
able excitement has been caused among
importers Of groceries in this city by state
ments tending to show the existence Of q
scheme to introduce cholera-infected raisins
into the United States II appears that one
Of the leading houses in the trade on the
Pacific Coast has sdv:ces from its agent in
New York, stating that one Of the largest
buyers of imported raisins has Just received
q dispatch from Malaga, stating that the
product this year is very large, and of ex-
cellent quality, and that the presence Of
cholera in Spain will not act as an impedi.
ment in the way Of shipment to the United
States.
This is alleged to have been accompanied
by letter of William Smith Health Officer
/ Of the port of New York, to the firm of i'm
porters, in which he says that fruit gathered
in infected districts, but packed and ship
ped from non-infected points, will not on
that account subject the vessel to delay at
RIaraptina. IS refers directly TO the i'm;
poft ~ faisihs rom Bfaiaga and DeniS.
Referring to these statements, prominent
men in the fruit trade, and experienced
hackers, declare that there Is great danger
of the introduction of cholera morbus in
raisins from the infected districts Of Spain,
as packed fruit early absorb microbes and
retain them for great length Of time.
The New York Health Officers are
charged with gross neglect Of duty in opsn,
ing the way for the terrible disease into this
country.

THE FUNERAL BILL.

The Cost of the Grant Obsequies Greatly
Overestimated-said to be Reasonable.
New YORK, September 2.-"Tne cost Of
General Grants funeral has been greatly
overestimated" General Perry said yester
day. 81 have heard it said that the total
amount will be $4,000, while I sm told
that 100000 has been suessed at. The
bill for the Governments share in the ex.
penses has been sent to me, and by me for
wsrded to Washington. This bill does not
include the cost Of transportation of the
body from Mt McGregor to New York,
together with the funeral train and the pas
sengers, besides the pilot engine which was
ahead of the funeral train. That was a
present from the railroad company. Neither
does the bill inclade the cost of keeping the
body in state in the City Hall in New York,
nor in Albany. The cost Of lying in state
in New York City will be borne by the mu
nicipal government. The total amount will
be less than $50 900.
The largest item is $1,000 for carriage
hire When it is remembered that New
York Jersey City, and Brooklyn were called

COALITION I'M TEXAS. =
The knights of Labor to Cooperate With
the Prohibitionists.

The knights of Labor to Cooperate With
the Prohibitionists.
GALVESTON, Tex, September "A spe-
cial to the News from Dallas says: The
first annual convention OF Knights Of Labor
Of Texas met here yesterday for the purpose
of organizing a State Assembly. One hun
dred and four delegates, including eight
colored men, were in attendance. The pro-
ceedings were secret. All the delegates
are extremely non-commupicahve being
bound by oath not to divulge anything.
Much speculation is being irdulged in by
outsiders respecting the probable coalition
of the Knights of Labor with the
Prohibitionists. Owing to the
fact that knights of Labor throughout the
State generally are restraining from the use
Of strong drink, it is surmised that they are
preparing to make overtures to the Prohi-
bition party, especially as a number Of brief
interviews show that large majority of the
delegates sympathize with the Prohibition
movement which is assuming widespread
proportions in the State.
Another report current states that seeds
are being planted for q farmers union, with
the hope of making a common crusade
against what is described the excess ofcsp-
ital."
The agreement entered into BY the Ex-
ecutive Committee of Assembly No. 10,
Knights Of Labor, and officers of the Tex
US and St. Louis railway, last Saturday, will,
it is thought, be proposed by the State Assem-
bly az means Of hereafter settling strikes in
Texas. 1t prescribes, first, that those who
have quit work by strike shall be reiustated
and shall not be discharged for any action
taken BY the strikers in regard to wages due,
but this is not to cover negligence, intem.
perance or neglect Of duty; that thirty days
notice shall be given to men before being
discharged, except for cause, and in case
of raise or reduction of wages, similar
notices shall be given; old employees to have
the preference Of work, and all differences
between the companies and their employees
shall be settled by arbitration.
The Convention will be continued to-day,
when an organization will be effected.
