The Chicago Journal of Jun, 9th has
the following concerning the sal g of Cal
ifornia fruits by auction in that Gil y:
The west end of the Northwest, m Rail-
road freight depot. Just north of he river
and west Of the State-street bridge, is divi-
ded from the great freight room by very
high, iierce-loaking picket fence. Ia one
corner of the Enclosure a couple of hu ndred
chairs are arranged after the style of thea
ter parquette. While ths audience from
South Water street and elsewhere is 'eing
seated, a company of roustabouts piAe up
boxes row on row and tier after tier like
ramparts all about. Ehs little incloeure
has a pleasant smell, and each gentlem an
before taking his seat, goes in and out
among the rows of boxes, makes q few
notes on a. printed programme, and then
the. music begins. IL is not an orchestra,
but en- auctioneer that hlls the place with
noise. In just twenty minutes three car
loads of choice California fruit are disposed
of under the hammer. Il may be said
right here that the unreserved auction sale
of California fruit in Chicago is a success.
The ventareis less than awesk old as yet
Monday seven cars, Tuesday three cars,
to day three cars, Thursday three cars,
Friday four cars--twenty carl loads for five
days. The fruit includes pears in forty
pound boxes, peaches, plums, apricots and
prunes in twenty-pound boxes, and cher
ries in ien-pound boxes.
The scheme m brief is this. What is
known as the Fruit Growers Union of CAL
ifornia, purchase extensively from the
orchard men. BY, thus uniting, they ship
in large quantities, and by sending ten car
loads at time from the Pacific coast they
get special shipping rates. There are other
advantages. Ishe auction sales are attended
by the jobbers and snail dealers in lots of
tweaty boxes or more. By buying at the
auction sale they come in direct contact
with the Growers Union, ana no middle
mon, or commission men, have profits out
of,the deal. The fruit train reaches Chicago
a<6:30 A. L.; the aaeiion sale is at 0 A. NJ.

republican Congressman Decline to Give
the Tariff Bill Full SWAY.

hepubiican Congressman Decline to Give
the Tariff Bill Full Sway.
Copyright, 1885. JyAe California Assoc,aed I,ress,
WASHINGTON, July 5th.-The growing
feellDg OF uneasiness over the slow progress
made on the tariff bill resulted today in n
proposition from the Democrats to the Re-
publicans to have all debate on the Mills
bill END this month. One proposition is
the result of talk of the Democratic mem
bers Of the Ways and Means Committee.
No answer was given, but the Republicans
consulted, promising to give the matter
consideration.
What the Democrats want is to get this
bill to final vote. When that has heen
accomplished they will care little or moth
ing as to what becomes of it. AS their
programme now stands, they do not pro-
pose to ever attempt to get this bill, or any
other tariff bill, through both houses and
to the President for his signature.
The Republicans, however, will not
accept any such proposition. From talks
have had with several Republican leaders
tonight, it is evident that they will con-
inue to fight this bill, clause by clause and
section by section. Congressman Cannon
said tonight: 1t is ridiculous for the
Democrats to come forward with any such
proposal. We cannot accept it. There is
but one course open for US, and that is to
fight this bill just as we have been doing.
AS to adjournment, if the Democrats want
TO console themselves with the idea that
they are going to etaway from here within
the next month, all well and good, but
there is no chance of its being done
1t will take at least two weeks to
get to vote in the House, and then the
thing is only half done. The thing has
got TO get to the Senate and it is folly to
presume that they can do in less than
three weeks what we have been seven
months on. AS for my opinion, am will
ing to go on record for two things-that the
House will continue the bill as it has done
all along, and that we will not adjourn
until the middle of August, if we do then"
Senator Hiscock said. when seen at the
Arlington tonight, that the special sub
committee of the Senate Finance Commit
tee, appointed to draft tariff bill to be
offered as substitute for the Mills bill
when 1t reached the Senate, had gone as
far in the preparation of the bill as they
could. They would now await until the
bill came over from the House. He did not
see, he said, how it was possible for the
Democrats of the House to hope to get the
bill through both Houses. unless they were
prepared to back down from their free wool
clause. The Senate bill would leave that
just as ii stood now under the existing law.
II the Mills bill had its wool clause stricken
out II would not leave much of the bill.
The Senate was quite apt to require at least
three weeks on the tariff, as nearly all of
its members would want to be heard. Con-
gress, he thought, would adjourn about the
10Th of August

SFRINeFIELD QE.) July 9Th. = Matt
Woods, the aeronaut, made an ascension
mere yesterday. When the balloon was
1000 feet high Woods was still hanging
by the trapeze, when the bag containing
the gas suddenly ripped from top to bot
tom and descent began with alarming
rapidity. The balloon fell until within
about two hundred feet of the earth, when
the wind caught in its folds, partially ex-
panding the bag and greatly retarding the
descent. The bursted balloon alighted in
the yard Of ST. Paul's Church and the aer-
onaut did not sustain bruise or a sprain.
He was stunned for few minutes and coy-
cred with the falling canvas, but he was
quickly extricated and in a few minutes
more he smiled family and said: II guess
I'm all right now" Che young mans es-
cape from death was simply miraculous.

sition and brought them to the city.
