An Interview With a Large Dealer in
New York City.
NEW YORK, October 31st-Mr. Day. of
Scobe Il Day, agents here of the California
Fruit Union, was interviewed by a reporter
the marketing of California fruits. Mr.
Day says it will be difficult for Californians
to establish direct communication with the
retail trade, because the retailers desire to
see the fruit before purchasing. He argued
in favor of the auction system at length,
and then says: THE receipts this year are
greater than ever before-three times as
large, IN fsct-yet there is no doubt but
that the rates of freight are too high. The
reduction would surely be made up by the
increase in the business Prices are uni
formly satisfactory TO the shippers who
consign their stuff in suitable condition.
The scale of prices talked about by the ad'
vocates who talked of scheme of l cent
per pound for grapes cannot be realized.
The fruit for shipment must be selected

grapes say cost, f. o. b. cars at occidental
stations, 81 %. There you have 3 cents

freight train. This adds from l to cents
per pound more TO the cost. The scheme
of travelling car for people originated at
Los Angeles, and may effect something for
the raisin trade OF Southern California and
for similar productions. but it is not suit

present largely exceed them in quantity

The American Congress Pays Visit to
the Tomb of Lincoln.

The American Congress Pays Visit to
the Tomb of Lincoln.
SPRINGFIELD (Ill.) October 31st.-The
all American visitors arrived this morning,
but the disagreeable rainy weather pre-
cluded any sightseeing about town. This
afternoon they were driven to Lincoln's
tomb where large crowd gathered. Sen
ator Cullom introduced eX. Governor Og-
lesby, who made some telling remarks ad
vocating a change of route of American
sight-seers from Europe to South America
and Mexico, and of the necessity of the es-
adjustment of universal American broth
erhood commercially socially. morally and
politically. Governor Oglesby paid q
touching tribute to the martyr President.
General Bolet Peraza said his voice was
but the echo of the sentiment of the people
of his country, and that fifteen free Ameri-
can nations were present to-day to pay
their respects and render homage to the
memory of man respected and beloved by
all while alive. The tomb only contained
the ashes of the great man, but his real sar
cophagus was in the heart of every living
American, both North and South.
Senior Alfonzo, of Chile, in brief speech
said his presence was the result of VOW
which he made years ago to visit the tomb
Oh Inc man VINO WAS beloved throughout
three Americas.
After the speaking was concluded the
visitors went to a room where relics are
kept, and each signed his name in the reg
lister From the tomb they were driven to
Lincoln's old home, and thence returned
to the hotel.
After dinner speeches were made by Sem
ator Cullom, Senior Velarde, Governor
Fifer, Delegate Henderson, Judge Gresham
and Congressman Springer.
A reception was held at the State House
this evening, after which the tourists left
for Indianapolis.

How Alfred Post Cleaned Up Almost a
Million Dollars III Chicago.

HOW AilTtu OSA OicthS0 Up a
Million Dollars in Chicago.
Chicago. October Dist The Journal
makes sensational disclosures in regard to
the frauds of the notorious Alfred Post, in
the manipulation of his /" Western Freight
CLAIM, Bureau" g 1t was the most gigantic
confidence game ever practiced in Chicago"
says well-known attorney who figures in
the case A great many of Alfred Posts
operations have never seen the light, sim
ply because well-known citizens have been
content TO suffer the loss of their cash
rather than have Their names dragged be-
fore the public in connection with this
shady piece of business.
THE aggregate investments OF these
gentlemen in Mr.. Posts bureau come with
in a few thousand dollars of a million.
Post took an office in the Home Insurance
Building. under the name of the Western
Freight Claim Bureau, which he advertised
to be possessed of facilities for collecting
claims from railroad and steamboat COM
panies for lost goods, and rebates on dam
aged freight, etc. He got his dupes to
make small inves' ments at first. Suppose
a man paid in $1,000, within few months
he got back ST, 600. The man, thinking this
was a paying investment would put up
$4,000 with the 5000 and invest $4,000
aud so on until Post had collected from
suckers the round sum of a million dol
lars.
THE fact was Post was paying off one
man with another mans money, and the
freight claim business was little less than
myth. Meanwhile, as everyone knows,
Post lived high, and kept stable valued
at $50 600, which it cost him $3.50 week
to run"

Furniture salesman Hatfield had retold
the story of selling the furniture TO ]. B.
Simonds, which was subsequently found
in the Carlson cottage. The chief point of
interest developed was that it was furni-
ture in common use, and there were no
marks on it TO perfectly establish its iden-
tity.
Hatfield also identified the trunk in
which Cronin's body was carried away as
identical in appearance to that sold to
Simonds.
When the Court resumed its session the
jury was excluded while the matter of
striking out McGarry's evidence was dis
cussed. The Court finally decided to ex-
clude all of the talk in regard to the former
attack on Cronin. This was not salts
factory to the defense, but after some talk
the trial was resumed.
John w. Sampson testified that about
two years ago Coughlin tried to hire him to
ton Sampson admitted Coughlin had ar
rested him three or four times, once for
robbery; that he had been convicted OF
passing counterfeit money, and that he was
gambler by profession.
Joseph C. O'Keefe Cronin's tailor, said
he attended the meeting of Camp 20 in
September, 1888, and after it had CONVEX
sation with Beggs about Cronin and Alex
ander Sullivan. Beggs had displayed an
aversion to Cronin. and said the latter was
not proper man to put on the Trial Com
mittee to try Alexander Sullivan. He OBJ
jected TO Cronin particularly because the
doctor was an enemy of Sulliyan's.
Edward Thockmorton, Ron Goldman
and James NJ. Marshall, connected with
a real estate Office, testified regarding the
renting of the fiat at III Clark street to

The Court then adjourned till tomorrow.

DAMAGING EVIDENCE.
Burke Tells Fellow-Prisoner How DIR.
Cronin Was Murdered.

Burke Tells a Fellow-Prisoner How DR..
Cronin Was Murdered.
WINNIPEG, October 31st-To day Assist
ant States Attorney Baker of Chicago and
lawyer Powell elected new, and if true,
important information from Gillette, a
late felloW-prisoner of Martin Burke.
Burke said the plot had been to decoy
Cronin from his house by Coughlin and a
woman. Afterward Coughlin changed the
plan and decoyed Cronin by means of
O'Sulivan's business card. Burke told
Gillette the woman in question kept fur
nished lodgings on North Clark street in
Chicago.
Burke mentioned as associates with him
self Coughlin, Cooney and O'Suilivan. The
intention was to sink the body IN the lake,
but confederate who was too meet them
with a boat failed TO keep his appoint
ment.
Gillette says Burke went twice to law
yer's Office on Dearbron street, Chicago, and
got money for doing the job Cronin's
clothes were brought to Winnipeg and
hidden there.
Gillette told Baker how Burke told him
in detail of the murder, how Cronin was
dubbed as he stepped inside the cottage
door, and how they took the body to the
lake, and not finding the boat there, threw
it in. Fearing, however, it would wash up
on the beach, it was taken back, placed in
the trunk and afterwards put in the catch
basin.
Gillette's story is very circumstantial.
Baker is inclined to believe it is straight,
in spite of the apparent improbability of
Burke having confessed.

THAT RAILROAD DEAL.
Through Trains to be Put On Between
Chicago and Cheyenne.


OMAHA (Neb.), October 31st.-The Bee
this evening says: The reported purchase
of the Alton by the Union Pacific is pro-
nounced untrue at the headquarters of the
latter company in this city.
The Bee has positive information, how
ever, that deal is being arranged between
the Alton and Union Pacific which will
result in another traffic arrangement such
as was effected with the Chicago and
Northwestern.
1t has been learned that the officials of
both roads are now at work concentrating
a traffic arrangement between the Kansas
Division of the Union Pacific and the AL
ton. The agreement is to be limited to a
period of ten years. The Alton will turn
over its West bound Union signed business
to the Union Pacific at Kansas City, and
the Union Pacific will transfer to Alton its
East bound Union signed business at the
same point.
Through trains will be put on between
Chicago and Cheyenne via Kansas City, and
each road will furnish half of the rolling
stock required in building up the through
business.
1t has also been learned from good au-
thority that the deal with the Alton will
ultimately result in the absorption of the
Kansas Division of the Union Pacific by
the former road The combine will be
made public in few days.

Is 1t Right to Place Them on Reserva-

Is 1t Right TO race Inem on heServa-
tions and Then Starve Them?
CHEYENNE (Wyo), October 3lst.-Two
thousand Indians occupying the Wind
River Reservation, just south of the Vel
lowstone National Park, in this Territory,
are actually in want and many will die of
starvation before spring. Their beef ration
is but three-fourths of pound per capita,
as against pound and half issued to each
Sioux.
Then these Indians receive their meat on
the hoof in the fall, subject to shrinkage,
which is often 80 per cent.
Again, the tribes on this reservation a
year ago agreed to waive the sugar and
coffee rations if the issue of beef and flour
was increased, but only a portion of the
deal was consummated. Their allotment
of flour is insufficient, and the contractors
invariably delay its delivery.
At the Wind River Agency are remnants
of two great Indian tribes-the Shoshones
and Arapahoes. They have agricultural
implements aud horses, and many would
farm, but they cannot run irrigation bitches
and have no money to buy seed.
This year a number cultivated small
tracts, but the defective bitches ana early
fTosts caused loss of their little crops.
Even now the Indians are reduced to des.
perate straits. The game has left the coun-
try aud they eat diseased carcases of do
nestle animals. But for Chief Washake,
of the Shoshones, raids upon range cattle
would be frequent. Governor Warren YER
flied these facts by a visit TO the agency,
and will place them before the Interior
Department in his supplemental report.

MISS KATE DRExEL.
She Will Enter Convent of Sisters G
Mercy, Taking the White Veil

She Will Enter a Convent of Sisters of
Mercy, Taking the White Veil
PITTsBURG, October 31st-Bishop Phelan,
of the Pittsburg diocese, and possibly
Bishop Conner, of Omaha, will take part
in the ceremony OF receiving Miss Kate
Drexel, daughter of F. H. Drexel, of Phil
adelphia, as a novice of the Order of Sisters
of Mercy, on November 18th. Aside from
the clergy only the relatives and near
friends of Miss Drexel will be present at
the ceremony, which is to take place in
Mercy Convent, in this city. Miss Drexel
will take the white veil.
Her determination to take the white veil
sets at rest all doubts as to her future, al
though she will have to remain three years
before being finally received into the Order.
If meanwhile she changes her mind no OBJ
iections will be made to her leaving the
convent.

SKIN CANCER.

Several years ago was called to see & colored
woman who had malignant form of cancer on
her foot. The cancer grew worse under the pre-
scribed treatment, and the toes and one side of
the foot were at length eaten entirely away.
The patient could not have survived much Ion
ger, but commenced the use of Swift's Spe-
cific, and it cured her sound well That was
three years ago, and there has been no re-
turn of the disease. 1 regard Swift's Specific a
most excellent medicine for blood diseases, as
its tendency is to drive out the poison.

This was the irst performance on any

Crsddock to make her part, which was that
of young wife, between whose husband
and herself there had been some GOODNESS,
because the sentimental wife thought the

THE NEGRO QUESTION.
Colonel Heating Says the Only Way to
Settle 1t is to Give Him His Rights.

CHICAGO, October 51st.-The negro ques-
ton was the principal theme for discussion
in the meeting OF the American Missionary
Association to-day. Several papers were
read, the most interesting of which was
one by Colonel j. NJ. Heating, of Memphis.
Colonel Heating said that disfranchisement
was impossible, that suffrage is necessary
to the protection of the negro.
His deportation he says is utterly impos-
sible, for if the colored people departed it
would be greatly against the interests of
the South The thing to be done is to let
the negro alone. Give him his rights of
education and Christianization.
A vote of thanks was rendered Colonel
Heating by the Association. and the Com
mittee on Printing was instructed to have
the paper distributed through the South.
