Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The President
has made the following appointments
DR.. Daniel DorcI ester, of Boston, Super
intendent of Indian Schools; Warren
Truitt, of The Dalles, Ore., Register of
the Land Office at Lakeview, Oregon;
Thomas B. Baldwin, of Folsom, N. NJ,
Register of the Land Office at Folsom.
METAAFA's SERVICES APPRECIATED.
The officials of the State and Navy De-
partments are considering what can be
done in the matter of suitably rewarding
the Samoan King, Mataafa, for his
timely efforts to rescue the American
soldiers and the property wrecked at
Samoa. Admiral Kimberly Is report con-
tanned strong recommendation upon
this point, which cannot be neglected.
1t is probable that Congressional war
rant must be had for the bestowing of
any suitable reward; but the Navy De-
partment may be able, meanwhile, to
give the King token of its appreciation
in the shape of the boate, or some of the
property now stored at Apis.
DAIRY PRODUCTS At THE ANTIPoDEs.
Consul Griffin. at Sydney, N. s. W,
in his report to the State Department,
says that the recent introduction OF
American appliances for the manufac-
| ture of butter and cheese has given an
| impetus TO dairy farming in New South
| Wales. The absurd quarantine laws
against the importation of cattle have
operated seriously against any improve
ment in the condition OF cattle, and
there is an agitation for the removal OF
the restrictions. Pleuro-pneumonia has
made its appearance in some districts,
but the process of inocuation has been
successfully used to check its spread.
The cooperative system of making but
ter is becoming very popular, and is
found to be far more satisfactory and
profitable than the old method. The
Consul says, in conclusion, that the new
protective duty upon imported diary
products is likely to bring about result
directly opposite to that which was in
tended, as, before the duty was imposed
the exports were frequently in excess oi
the imports.
THE INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT QUESTION
| Assistant Secretary Ticbenor has noti.
fed all persons interested in the question
of the dutiable character of cars carrying
merchandise between points in Canada
and ihe United States, that they will
have hearing on the subject at the De.
partment on the 14th proximo.
CHINESE RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION.
Consul Smithers, at Tientsen, reports
to the State Department that the Chinese
government has authorized the extension
of the Tentsen and Tongshan Railway
which will make it possible to reach
Peking from Tentsen in three hours
whereas now it requires as many days
The Consul says China may now be said
to be fairly entered upon a career of rail
way construction.

Delegate Du Bois believes Idaho will
be admitted as State during the coming

Discrimination Against California.

1t is universally claimed that California
will be unable to place her canned fruits
in the Eastern markets at a profit under
the freight rate lately established of
$1.20 per hundred pounds. The
canned fruit industry of this Coast
is dependent on Eastern consumers
for its success. Unless we can ship our
fruit productions thus put up at reason
able freight rates, it will be useless to
try to build up the industry. In
1888 We shipped to the East about
900 cases less than in 1887,
the difference being about 80 per
cent. In the latter year the freight
was rs cents per hundred pounds; but
in 1888 it was advanced to $1.10. Now
that even last years rate has been in
creased, we may look for a still farther
falling eff. 1t would be difficult to give
a reasonable explanation for this
suicidal railroad policy. Certainly
the business interests of the railroads
would seem to demand that an industry
of this character-one that can be almost
indefinitely increased-ought to be en-
coursged instead of crushed, and we
have seen that the positive tendency
of the increase of transportation rates is
to discourage it, and thus lessen the
businefs of the roads. One is tempted
to seriously ask whether, in the face of
such policy, the roads want business.
We have been told that the Inter
State Commerce law is to blame for this
and the other extraordinary advances in
freight rates. But if that were true,
why is it that canned goods coming west
ward only pay SO cents per hundred
from Missouri river points to
this Coast? The theory of the
Interstate Commerce law is to reg
ulate the rates according to distance of
carriage. Well, the carriage is just as
long coming as going, and if SO cents is
enough one way, it ought to be enough
the other. This discrimination of the
Transconiinental Railroad Association
against the Pacific Coast ought to be
tested. If there is any virtue in the In.
ter-State law it ought to be successfully
invoked to correct an abuse Of this
fagitious character.
But there ought to be noneed to appeal
to the courts to correct such an abuse.
The business sense of the railroad men
ought to induce them, for
the sake Of tEeir own interests, to

THE bear stories told by Mr.. Sexton il

THE bear stories told by Mr.. Sexton in
recent trial will appear marvellous to
people who have recently come to this
State. Indeed they might appear apoc-
xyphal to anybody If they had not been
related under the solem nifty of an oath.
We must confess that they are appal-
lingly wonderful to us, even coming as
they do under the solemn attestation of a
deposition. If Uncle Dan'l can SO excite
our admiration at bis pioneer experiences
when he is held within the cold confines
of an examination in court, we are lost to
divine the marvels he could relate una
hampered by the restraints of an oath.

THE Chamber of Commerce will hold
a meeting this afternoon to take action
upon the matter of securing decent ex-
hibit Of the products of this county, to
be placed in the permanent exposition
held in San Francisco by the State
Board of Trade. The HERALD's article
drawing attention to the fact that Los
Angeles was now represented in that ex-
hibition by only few bottles of wine
and couple of dozen decayed lemons,
has aroused the public ON the subject.
We either ought to be decently rep
resented in that exhibition, OF
not represented at all. Mr..
Higgins, Secretary of the Chamber OF
Commerce, says that our producers failed
to respond to his appeals to send in arti-
cles to be placed on exhibition in San
Francisco, and that is the reason for our
failure to be decently represented there.
We are assured that an average of five
hundred visitors are registered at the ex-
hibition every d'y. 1t is worth our
while to attract the attention of
that number of strangers to the superior
character os our soil productions, and we
nope that the meeting this afternoon will
result in such action as will secure con-
tributions that will be credit to our
county.

The Tribune claims that it was almost
the only paper on the Pacific Coast that
had the sagacity to see the great import
ance of annexing Lower California. We
may add that the Tribune was also one
of the few papers that had the ssgacity
to discover the wonderful placer wealth
of the Santa Clara mines. The wonder
full auriferous wealth of that Ell Dorado
still remains undiscovered outside Of the

ance in this city and its environs in the

The carriages containing the distinguished
