As the time for the first rackinp of

animation of wines sent in for analysis,
in order that the merits and defects Of
this vintage may be compared with
those OF previous seasons, ard the after

OF 40 lots of grapes sent in, "a were
sufficiently large for wine-making. OF
these "a fermentations, not one offered
any difficulty, the temperature Of the
cellar being kept somewhat higher than
last season-viz., at or near 10 degrees.
This temperature would, Of course, have
been undesirably high for larger masses
of wine, but for the samples, not ex-
cceding ten gallons, proved just right,
the highest temperature reached by
any one during the violent fer
mentation being Sc degrees. All fer.

time (of about week for red wines),
cleared rapidly after drawing off, and
are sound in every respect. The only
exception to regularity of fermentation
arose from an accident to the gas jet

set apart for the fermentation of small
samples, in which the temperature one
morning was found to have arisen To

yeast, for fermentation was not re-

through rapidly and made perfectly

nothing new in this. but il is mentioned
as undoubtedly typical Of great num-

wine received for analysis.
OF 80 such samples thus far received,
the extraordinarily large proportion of
II, or nearly A per cent, contain un-
fermented sugar in proportions varying
from trihe (say per cent? to little
more than six, but mostly from three
to five. In one case as much as
ten per cent. remained in wine
which, besides. was thoroughly
acetified and 'smilk-sour." This wine,
it was ascertained, started finely during
very hot weather; was allowed to form
'cap" without stirring.in (Jonlage,)
and suddenly stopped while sweet, evil

hope that the fermentation would revive
of its own accord, it went wholly wrong

In this case, as in many last season,
the total amount Of sugar originally in
the must was considerably greater than
that which could ferment out in any
case, viz, over 35 per cent. But the al

Prof. Henry G.. Hanks, State Miner
alogist, has the following 10 say abou
California scenery: Our State is noted
for its magnificent scenery. In the Cali
fornia Alps, the region surrounding Mt
Whitney, may possibly be found as su
perb landscapes and commanding view
as az any locality on the face of the earth
This region of the State surpasses even
the Yosemite and Hetch-H Hetchy valleys
celebrated the world over for their ex
ceptional beauty and grandeur. Since
visiting Mt. Whitney and the pictur
esque country in its vicinity, it has re
NAMED a mystery to me why tourists
and lovers OF nature in her grandest and
widest moods, do not flock 10 the laeal
ity and revel in its beauties.
Rugged mountain peaks Of granite
partly covered with perpetual snow,
mountain streams filled with trout
splendid canons, wild rocky gorges
mountain meadows, lakes Of puyest wa
ter, cascades, cataracts. waters that
''fall and pause and fall, mural cliff.
rising to dizzy height, dense and al
most impenetrable forests, an atmos'
phere bracing and smelling of ozone,
or rsdolent with the odor of tir, balsani
and pine needles, are few Of the attrac
tions of the higher attitudes. Lower
down are boiling springs, volcanic cones
surrounded by extensive beds of an
cient lava, and even miniature Sa
hara, with accompaniment OF shifting
hot sands and moving whirlwinds, aka
line lakes and scattered sagebrush
Silver and gold miaes may also be via
tied in the vicinity, the mountains are
ribbed with undiscovered minera
wealth, and all of these attractions ar,
within thirty miles or so OF a well.ap
pointed narrow-gauge railroad. Why
all these natural beauties should go beg
ging for appreoiative observers, and no
be eagerly sought by ubiquitous tourists
can only be accounted for by their igner
ance OF the facts here stated.

Examined Yesterday.
HoLLlsrER, CAL, February Pain the
trial of Prewett for the murder of DIR.
Powers but little Testimony Of import.
apce WIS introduced to-day. Ten wit.
uesses we're examined, establishing he
fact that on the day the murder occurred
DIR. Powers spent the day at the house
of A. r. Severman, and while there he
exhibited roll Of papers which were
not on the body when found. The
hanging could not have been done by
less than four men. Mrs. Melindy tes.
titled to seeing Fowlss, Alexander, Ny
lar and Irwin, the alleged conspirators,
going towards Prewett's house on the
evening of one of the alleged meetings.
This testimony was objected to and q
long discussion eusued, the defense
contending that 1t was not relevant.
The prosecution stated that they pro-
posed to prove that three meetings had
been held at which the conspiracy was
entered into to either kill Powers or
make him leave the country. They
to show that all Of the men
who went to Prewett's house that night
were implicated in the conspiracy. The
evidence was admitted. Every effort is
being made by the defense to prevent
the introduction Of testimony going to
conspiracy. Witnesses are
now here who it is said will testify that
Powers had repeatedly threatened
Prewett's life, and this with other cir
leads to the belief that the
defense will advance the plea Of justifi-
sation and self defense.

WASHINGTON, February 24.-In an
swer to the request from the sub-com-
mittee to the House Committee on Ways
and Means for information concerning
the workings Of the reciprocal treaty
with the Hawaiian Islands, Mr.. John
Searles, ST.. Government Commissioner,
who visited the Islands, has returned a
statement of the facts ascertained. In
connection with his visit, he says: '1f We
had made the Islands present OF every
dollars worth OF goods they bought
from this country and collected du ties
on their sugars we should have made no
loss. As to the effect Of the treaty on
this country, Mr.. Searles says that the
price Of refined sugar in San Francisco,
since the treaty went into effect, has
averaged two cents pound more than
In New York where every pound has
paid full duty. He speaks in bitter
terms Of the course pursued by Claus
Spreckels. For seven years he was die
tator. The planters, however, during
the past year rebelled against his auto
cracy aud are seeking to break his com
mercial il not his political power. They
have secured possession of small rein
cry in San Francisco, which they hope
to operate successfully in connection
with their sugar estates in the islands,
but Sir Claus has determined upon
their destruction, and this
explains the unprecedented low
prices now ruling in San Francisco-only
about one cent above New York figures.
The reasons why the treaty should be
abrogated are, first, on account of the
enormous loss in revenue to this conn
try, which is practically paid out Of the
pockets Of our taxpayers into the pock-
cts of small company of sugar planters
and speculators. The production has
assumed proportions never dreamed Of
when the treaty was made, and the
crop is steadily increasing. Second-It
has not, directly or indirectly, bene-
fitted the consumers of sugars in this
country, but has brought the product Of
the islands into direct competition with
our sugar producers and manufacturers.
Third The treaty has not benefited,
but has, on the contrary, injured the
Sandwich Islands, demoralizing and de-
stroying the native population and sub
stituting Chinese and other Asiatics,
while the American influence in the
affairs OF the islands. except so far as it
is exercised for the selfish interests OF
an individual, has been weakened.

WASHINGTON, February 24.-Cbarles
Francis Adams, President Of the Union
Pacific Railway, and ex-senator McDon.
aid, attorney for the Central Pacific
roads, appeared before the House Com.
mittee on Pacific Railways to-day and
expressed their views at length upon the
general subject of the Indebtedness of the
Pacific railways. Adams declared that
the present management of the Union
Pacific Company was endeavoring to full
fill the company's obligations to the gov
ernment in good faith and that the road
was not manipulated for speculative
purposes. A large proportion of the
stock, he said, was held by trust com.
panies, estates and widows. The branch
| lines constituted the main source OF rev.
enue, and without them the road oould
not be operated ut a profit.
The general subject Of the issue OF
Treasury notes and silver certificates of
small denominations, was discussed at
to- days meeting Of the House Commit.
tee Of Banking and Currency. There
are now forty eight bills before the
committee touching the subject under
consideration. II was the sense of the
committee that general bill, or perhaps
two, covering the matter should be
formulated and reported in lieu of these
bills, and with that view the bills will
be divided among three subcommittee
for examination.
The House Committee on Rules to-day
agreed to report back Hanback's reso.
luton providing for an investigation OF
the Pan Electric Telephone matter. The
committee has not yet framed the reso.
luton but are agreed that the investiga.
tion committee should consist Of nine
members.
Senator Miller to-day introduced bill
in the Senate to establish postal saw
ing depository Is branch OF the POST
office Department.
Six members of the Committee on
Military Affairs have submitted minor.
ity report against the formation of two
regiments OF cowboys to take the field
in Arizona and New Mexico against the
Apaches. The bill reported by the COM
mittee proposes to give the members OF
these regiments $50 per month and
equipments, enlists them for one year,
and authorizes them, when in pursuit of
the hostiles aud their ponies become ex.
hausted, to take them wherever they
can be found on the march. 1t is be-
lieved that these privileges would be
abused and that there would be too
great demand for ponies.
II is understood that the Secretary Of
the Treasury will recommend Congress
TO provide specific duties on silk.
At the executive session OF the Senate
a resolution from the Commerce Com
mittee was adopted calling on the Secre-
tary of the Treasury for papers in rela-
tion to the suspension Of Customs Col
lector VIM. Welles, of Vermont.
Senator Morgan to-day reported an
amendment to an appropriation bill
accepting the offer of the government Of
Japan to this government Of a site in
the city of Toxic for legation purposes
and recommending an appropriation Of
S2o, 900 for the erection OF suitable
building.

WAsHINaroS, February a. The Sec
retary Of the Treasury has written to
Representative Morrison, Chairman Of
the Ways and Means COMMITTEES, in re-
gard to the probable effect the passage o I
the Morrison tariff bill will have upon
public revenues. In the letter he saws
that the net reduction. computing on the
basis Of last years importations, would
be about sl2, 100000. In regard to the
proviso limiting the maximum OF dues to
certain ad valorem duties, ii says. II
leaves room for a controversy on values,
but thatas values could be approximately
ascertained by customs officers, he sug-
gests that the power Of that provision be
made final, and not leave this important
question to be in after years subjected 10
the uncertainties Of a trial in court with
the consequent cost to the people Of the
refunding Of the duty.
