The Grape Crop.

SAN FRANCISCO, April l3.-Although
it is somewhat early to form an opin-
ion about the extent of the grape and
other fruit crops throughout the State,
yet from replies to inquiries re-
ceived here it seems quite prob
abe that the yield will be in
excess of last year. The recent rains
which followed the hot winds of several
weeks ago have been of great benefit
in assisting farmers in plowing and
getting ground in good condition.

Railroad Delays.

SAN Francisco, April ia Salt
Lake special to the Chronicle says
that a communication has been re-
ceived from G. H. Roser, of New
York, Chief Engineer of the proposed
Salt Lake and Los Angeles Railroad j,
explaining the reason OF the delay in
commencing the work on the road.
Mr.. Roser says that capital is not
forthcoming as promised. 1t has been
resolved to solicit the aid OF foreign
capital, and maps and specifications
are being made to that end. The
promises of the Union Pacific Railroad
to complete the connection of the Uta b
Central with the Atlantic and Pacific
and Southern Pacific roads near Mo-
jave, are mentioned as being factors
in the enforced delay in locating the
western terminals of the Salt Lake
and Los Angeles road, so that the two
roads may not be competing, as it is
believed that it would be better for
both roads to be located as far apart
as possible.

are beginning to think, said he, that
free trade would be bad for them, on
account OF almost certainty of in
dustrious and enterprising Americans
driving them out of market altogether.
The English undoubtedly admire Mr..
Cleveland, but not because he is in
favor of free trade, for as rule the
people over there know little and care
little whether man be aDemocrat or
Republican. He spoke of MIR. Blaine,
who was received in London with
most marked attention, of Chamber
lain. destined to play a great part in
English politics, and of Parnell as a
clever tactician and able speaker.

The current seems to be steadily rum

up of eulogy OF the latter and attacks
on Jules Ferry. Already in various
departments 23O, 900 votes have been
cast for him, and the department of
the No,d will increase his votes to
4OO, 900. All this is gravely ominous
