LONDON, December 22.-Chamberlain

in which he says he still adheres to his
original Irish scheme, which has nothing
in common with Gladstone's measures.

meut. He said that if o coer-
Give policy was persisted in he
would not be responsible for
the peace OF his district. Sir Thomas
Esmond, member of Parliament, and q
number of Catholic priests spoke in
similar strain. They approved the plan
of campaign and said they were willing

lordism. The Right Hon. A. J. Mum

approval of the plan of campaign. He
objected to the Government bringing

From the Herald. |

The following were the exports from
the Santa Ana station for the week end.
ing December 10th: Eggs, 81 cases,
1920 pounds; fowls, 10 coops, 1910
pounds; oranges, 335 boxes, 23, 700
pounds; wine, IA barrels, 6lS0 pounds;

boxes, $500 pounds; wine, car, $4,000
pounds; raisins, 6 cars, 5292 boxes,
l4S,00O pounds; general merchandise,
l5, 73O pounds. Total, 242, 4l0 pounds.
The Santa Ana Valley Fruit Compa-
ny is now employing sixty five persons
men and women-in the packinghouse,
putting up about 700 boxes of raisins
per day. Three carloads were shipped
this week, two TO Chicago and one to
San francisco. This enterprising COM
pany deserves we'll of this community,
for it disburses large amount of coin
every week in the payment of wages
and the purchase of the products of the
valley for shipment.
On Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Sam
uel Hall, who resides in the Newport
settlement. met with severe accident.
He was driving along Fourth street
with spirited team when they be.
came frightened at the passing street
car, and ran upon the sidewalk in
front of Davis barber shop, throwing
Mr.. Hall out, one of the horses, a pow
erful animal. falling upon him. 1t was
thought at first that Hall was killed,
but, strange to say, no bones were
broken, though he was badly bruised
and cut.
1t is rumored that the Atchison peo.
pie desire to get depot grounds near the
Southern Pacific, and have been look
ing over the Wright tract, and obtain.
ing the names OF property owners in
that neighborhood. 1t may be-.
come necessary to go into court
to condemn the right of way across
the San Joaquin ranch, che trus-
tees of the Irvine estate, we understand,
not exhibiting willingness to concede
the privilege. The people of Santa Ana
should neglect no exertions to facilitate
the extension of the Atchison road (now
building from Riverside), into the town.
There ought to be no captious opposition
in obtaining depot grounds and right OF
way. This valley needs the new road,
for by it we get direct route to the
East. Its building will add much to oul
prosperity.

LONDON, December 2l.-An inter-
change of views between Mr.. Gladstone
and his colleagues of the last Liberal
Cabinet, on the attitude to be adopted
by the Liberal party at the opening of
Parliament, has resulted in an agree
ment to support the government in all
legal efforts to suppress the anti-rent
campaign, but to urge immediate en-
forcement ofsome form of Parnells bill
for the suspension of evictions. The
Pail Mall Gazette declares that both
Gladstone and Parnell are no longer in
accord with their followers, who, it
says. unless they discover and amend
their error, will find themselves when
Parliament meets without even the
rump of party. Notwithstanding Par
nells displeasure, Messrs Dillon, o 'Brien
and Healy continue their rent tactics.
