THREATENING CALIFORNIA.
Great Industry Endangered bv the
Pending Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 10th.-The present
duty on raisns is cents per pound. Mills
tariff bill proposes duty of II cents, re-
duction of one-half cent. Shippers declare
that the crop of Spanish raisins will be a
large one, with low prices. Under this cir
cumstance even the present duty is consid-
cred an inadequate protection for the raisin-
growers of the Pacific coast
In this connection attention is called to
the significant assertions of r. B. Blowers,
prominent raisin-grower of the coast,
who says: Tinkering the tariff is ruin
ing the business of raisin-making in Cali
fornia. When the tariff on raisins was re-
duced before, it crippled the industry l
took up large portion of my raisin vine
yard then and converted it into an alfalfa
patch, and another part of it l grated with
table grapes. From the alfalfa tract l will
get from ten to thirteen tons per acre. l
am getting ready to take up the rest of my
raisin vineyard in anticipation of another
reduction of the tariff in the interest of the
Spanish raisin-grower, for another reddc.
ton will kill the business here. We can
barely make profit now during an aver,
age year, but if there should be good
crop in Spain and poor one here, We
would not make cent after paying:freighl
to Eastern markets, which is several times
| as much as the foreign producer has tC
pay. The foreign raisin-maker would
| therefore, drive us out of the market"

STARTLING CONFESSIONS.
Hoge's and Murphy's Clerks Expose the
Whole Business.

CHICAGO, July 10th.-The most sensa-
tional developments in the Burlington con-
spiracy case is the confession of ]. J. Kel-
ley and J. II. McGillivery, clerks respec-
lively to Chairman Hoge of the Grievance
Committee, and Chairman Murphy of the
Finance Committee. Inspector Bonfeld
said tonight:
when Kelly and McGillivery were ar
rested this afternoon they sent for me. l
went to see them at the Armory police sta
ton, first sending word to General Manager
Stone that presumed they wanted to talk.
He came over, bringing an attorney with
him, and when confronted with the men
they told us fully of their connection with
the circular. Their statement was salts
factory to Mr.. Stone Their statement was
being reduced to writing, and was not fully
completed before left, but l understand
that it settles, beyond all possibility of
doubt, TIE authorship of the sal soda
and emery circular. 1t also settled the
identity of John Sewers, the man who
could not be found by the reporter Ac-
cording to this statement, Sewers is none
other than Chairman Hoge. When the
circulars were sent out inquiries as to its
authenticity were received from Chief En-
gineers asking if it were genuine. Both of
| these men answered a number of those in
quiries saying-by direction of ofHoge-that
the circular was all right Letters addressed
to Sewers and left at the National Hotel
were taken to Hoge and there answered by
these men, under Hoges instruction.

size of mans hand, is likely to make a
big rumpus in the next few days.
After the sugar clause was disposed of in
the House yesterday, the clause reducing
the tax on Sumatra tobacco wrappers was
reached, and on the request of Congress
man Vance, of Connecticut, was passed
over. This action was surprise to many
and conclusions of all kinds were drawn.
Vance gave no excuse for the request, but
it was made in way which clearly showed
that he had no fear of an objection from
Mills Upon investigation quite a lively
little tight was found to be in progress be-
tween Vance and the Chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee. This is the
first time that Vance has served in Con-
gress, but his activity as q protectionist has
made Mills hate him as cordially as he
does Sam Randall.
Vance has made hard fight all through
against the Mills bill, and has again and
again warned the Democratic majority OF
| the Ways and Means Committee that to
carry out its provisions on tobacco would
be to make Democratic defeat in Conneci-
cut certain. One by one Mills has con-
sented to the amendments offered by
Vance, but when the latter came forward
and asked that the tax on Sumatra wrap
| pers DE left alone he peremptory declined
| Vance made flying trip down home
the other day, and came back
more frightened than ever about
the prospect of losing the State. He
went to the Democrats of the Ways anG
Means Committee and told them that ht
had been down home visiting among the
tobacco men OF the State, and they were
making big howl about the change il
the tax on Sumatra wrappers. The passage
of the bill in that shape, he said, would
simply mean the destruction of business
throughout his State and the consequent
destruction of any chance the Democrat:
might have of carrying the State next fall
But Mr.. Mills, losing his temper, said he't
be id if the change should be made.
The case was passed over yesterday, il
the hope of having the matter settled
amlcably and without having fight on the
floor of the House between the two wing
of the Democratic party.
Mills says now that Vance is meddle
some crank, and Vance returns the com
pliment by calling the leader of his owl
party big headed fool.

BERLIN, July 1Oth-The reports of the
German physicians concerning the dead
Emperor's case are published. They are
long, tediously minute and generally Op-
posed to Mackenzie's treatment.
DR.. Gerhardt says that he knew it was
cancer from the first. He censures Macken-
zies treatment from the beginning to the
end.
DR.. Bergmann thinks Frederick's life
would have been saved had part of the
vocal chord been cut out according to his
advice. Frederick and his wife were
willing the operation should be per
formed. Bergmann also says he had sue
cessfully performed seven such operations in
Berlin.

KNOXVILLE (Tenn.), July 10TH The

WASHINGTON, July 0th.-Representative
Randall was taken seriously sick last night
with hemorrhage of the bowels 1t was g
recurrence of an old trouble. Last winter
he had surgical operation performed and
was confined to his bed for some time, but
was supposed to have entirely recovered,
until the attack of last night For nearly
two weeks past Mr.. Randall has been COM
planning, but nothing was thought of the
matter until yesterday morning, however.
He did not come down to breakfast until
late, when he dressed and attempted to 20
to the Capitol, being anxious to be present
and take part in the debate on the sugar
clause In the Mills bill. He started to the
Capitol shortly before noon, but was forced
to return home and go to bed. His family
wanted to send for a physician, but he said
it was unnecessary. Shortly after midnight,
he was suddenly taken much worse, and
his young son sent for physician. Doctor
Mallen, being the nearest one, was called
in, and succeeded in temporarily relieving
MIR. Randall of pain and carrying him be.
yond thes crisis. For over an hour, how
ever, 1t was question of very serious
doubt whether the patient would recover ol
not.
This morning he was much improved
but at o'clock this afternoon he had an
other attack, and Dr. Mallen was agair
called in. This time the family concluded
to send for Mr.. Randalfs family physician
i DR.. Martin, who is in Boston. He was tel
egraphed to come tonight, if possible.
In response TO an inquiry made at tn;
| house this afternoon. Mrs. Lancaster, hi:
married daughter, said that there is every
reason to believe that Mr.. Randall vii

Although the news Of Mr.. Randaii's III
| ness was uot published till this afternoon
| il quickly spread about the Capita, aud ;
very large number OF political friends
called to inquire about his condition. Tn,
family affect to believe that he is in NJ
danger, but DR.. Mallen admitted to-nigh
that his case is quite q serious one.

A Democratic Protectionist on the War

ICOpyighi. 1885, By the California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, July 1Oth.-The rapid pro-
gress made on the Mills bill during the last
fortnight has brought the House within
sight of a final vote. There remains but
eight pages more upon which there is
likely to be speech making, and there will
be very little of that save on the wool
clause. Wool is about the only stumbling
block in the way of the completion of the
tariff debate. On that many have pre-
pared speeches and will insist on getting
them on record and before the country.
While all this will take time, none of the
speakers will be allowed to go much be-
yond the tive-minute limit So far as
the Republicans are concerned, q
vote can and will be reached by
the end of the week, but there is row
brewing In the Democratic camp which,

WASHINGTON, July 10Th. - Assistant
Treasurer Whelpley has submitted to Sec
retary Fairchild the report of his count of
money and investigation of the Sub-Treas-
ury at San Francisco. Secretary Fairchild
refuses to make the report public. In a
conversation with your correspondent he
said that the publication of the report
could do no good. There was, he said, but
Il trifing shortage In the cash account of
the Sub-Treasurer, due probably to insig-
nificant pilfering from coin sacks by sub
ordinate employees. Any defects in the
service OF the Office will be remeded as
soon as possible. There is no reflection in
the report upon the integrity of the Treas
ury or Treasurer Brooks, but it is intimated
that politics is playing too important a part
in the management of the office.

According to General Superintendent KIM

Blakeney's dismissal, unless he should be
found guilty of dishonest practices or par
tisan conduct. Charges of one kind and
another have been preferred against
Blakeney, but upon investigation they
have been disproven.
