which attempted for the first time this
winter, has resulted most satisfactorily. About
l. 600 boxes of the fruit were sent over during
November and December, when the markets of
England and Scotland are almost entirely with
out oranges, the Spanish and Italian fruit
not yet ripe The prices obtained were
such that after all the transportation charges
and commissions paid the net returns to
the growers exceeded those On the same grades
of oranges sold in this city. The fruit became
very popular on the other side. as it is much
sweeter than any European oranges.
commission merchant who is the pioneer in
the orange-exporting business informed
porter to-day that the experimental shipments
made this year have opened foreign market
for large portion of our early orange crop. and
that growers who tried the experiment are so
well pleased with the net returns of their
European sales that they will make large ship
ments abroad next year. Some of the larger
planters talk of sending many as 1000 boxes
a week. The effect the domestic market
viii be to make it more steady and less liable to
extremely low prices. that by shipping abroad
the planters will doubly benefit themselves.

A Third Attempr to Restore General Renos
Name To the Army Roll.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-Senator Davis. OF Min
nesota, has introduced bill to restore General
Reno to the regular army, with the rank of ma
jor at such time q vacancy shall occur in
the line for which civilian would have to be
named. Reno, it will be remembered. was the
officer who failed to 60 to the rescue of Custer
in the famous battle the Little Big Horn. It
is the common belief of army men that if Reno
had acted courageously. Sitting Bull might have
been routed. and Custer and his men saved.
But it was not for this that Reno was court
martialed and dismissed from the army. His
ofense dsgraceful conduct at Fort Meade,
in 1878. He was convicted of gross drunken
ness, language unbecoming officer and gen.
tleman, and the more disgraceful msdemeanor
was proved upon him of peerine through the
windows of General Sturgis's sitting room at
Ella Sturgis. now Mrs. John d. Lawler, of Bis
mark, who was for many years q famous Wash
ington belle. The court that tried Reno was
unanimous in favor of his dismissal Vigorous
efforts were made by Reno's friends, among
them General Grant General Sherman and
General Sheridan, to spare him from disgrace
But it was the second time he had been court
martialed, President Hayes did not interfere,
aud the sentence went into effect This is the
third attempt General Reno has made TO secure
his reinstatement in the army. Senator Davis
was his counsel before the court-martial and is
SO well informed on all the evidence in the case
that he thinks he can get the bill passed. Mean
animation and become clerk in the Pension
Office.
