of Orville Grant, said yesterday after
noon it was doubtful if the General lived
through the night. He had been sleep
ing some, and appeared cheerful and
would occasionally smile to those near
him. DR.. Newman, in conversation with
the General yesterday afternoon, told
him everybody seemed to be his friend.
The General replied:

Perfectly secure.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, December 22.-
strenuo Gus efforts have been made by the
First National Rank of this city TO get
at the bottom of the alleged forged &C.
ceptance Of the Camden Consolidated
OH Company of Parkersburg, West
Virginia. The facts so far as learned
are that DR.. h. w. Crooks, acting as
agent for the Camden Consolidated Oil
Company, purchased Of II. L. VIII
llama g90 acres of the ortega ranch for
$4,000, and gave in payment $4,000
cash and three notes, secured by mort
gage. the arst for s2l, 900 payable in
three months, the second for 81 ,UOO at
six months, and the third Tor s25,Voo at
nine months. Later the notes were ex-
changed for three aeceptsnees gu the
Camden Consolidated Oil Company for
the same amounts, payable In two, four
and six months. The first OF these
aeeeptances was discounted at the
First National Bank and about
$4,000 paid ON it. This was
in turn sent TO the Bank OF California,
San Francisco. The latter addressed
the Camden Company, informing them
that they held the note in question.
The answer came back that the compa-
nv had no knowledge Of such a draft,
and they pronounced it forgery. The
draft was then sent back to the Santa
Barbara Bank, which made good the
amount to the Bank Of California. The
bank here claims to be amply secured
and feels no uneasiness as to the result
so far as it is concerned. In reference
to the matter, w. W. Hollister, Presi
dent of the First National Bank. makes
the statement that the bank will not be
inconvsnienced by its connection with
this transactiop, and further states

WASHINGTON, December 22.--The an
nual report of Jacob Mueller, United
States Consnl- General at Frankfort-on-
ths.Main, Germany. has been received
at the State Department. He calls at.
tention to the reactionary tendencies
prevailing in that country on the indus
trjal and commercial relations with the
United States, which. he says, explains
che in will Of the official rulings
sgainst the United States. They
dread, be says, American hogs,
wheat and American imports generally,
but still more the importation of Ameri
can ideas. Not only is the tendency to
rstroeression noticeable in political econ
omy and the religious aspect 5f lie.
but the barriers existing between man
kind are also fostered and multiplied to
such an extent that spirit OF caste Is
again becoming prominent and the feudal
system resurrected. He allndes TO
these tendencies as the principal reason
for the prevailing anti-Americanism,
IA order that the United States Gov
arument may be prepared not to antici-
pate from the officials OF Germany or
Austria. hostile as they are to American
liberty and prosperity, any gratuitous
accessions. The Consul reports that the
Asuressed state of trade and industry in
Geymany has continued during the past
year and the new tariff system has
proved failure. The declared value OF
exports from Germany to the United
states during 1884 show decrease oil
81, ,8si ,D75 as compared with the pre-
yious year. The principal decrease
was in chins and porcelain ware,
hat bands and ribbons. hides
and skins, linens, silks and
dres, goods, jeweIry. etc. There was
an increase in the exports of drugs and
chemicals. wines and liquors, iron aud
steel, hair, glass, plate, etc. The
imports from the United States are con-
fined 10 agricultural, mineral, animal
and vegetable products. Emigration
from Germany TO the United States has
fallen of 40 per cent during the iirst
nine months Of 1886. There is strong
feeling Of antipathy towards the United
ststes In the matter of emigration and
every effort is resorted to to discourage
IL. The great import OF foreign wheat
has caused demand for higher duties,
which would amount practically to pro-
hibition. In conclusion. consul Muei-
Ter says that the present strife OF nations
for industrial and commercial supremacy
saegests an American policy OF free
ships, ef Industries untrammeled by
burdenssms taxes and of vigorous
protection OF Americans abroad.
