STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
Delegates Appointed to the State Worlds
Fair Convention

Delegates Appointed to the State Worlds
Fair Convention.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 1Sth.-At meet
ing of the State Board of Trade to-day the
following delegates were selected to repre-
sent the Board at the State Worlds Fair
Convention in Metropolitan Hall on Sep
tember 11th N. B. Chapman, Captain
Morrison, w II. Mills, John P. Irish and
Judge Knight.
w. H. Mills addressed the Board on the
result of his recent visit to Chicago. He
condemned the original decision of the
Commissioners in selecting two sites for
the Exposition.
Mark L. Mcdonald, one Of tie National
Commissioners, said he felt sure that Cali
fornla would be given all she wanted in the
way of space and privileges. No site had
yet been definitely decided upon. The
National Commission would pass upon all
subjects, and would see that Chicago did
not monopolize everything. AS Com
missioner at large, he promised to work
hard for California.
A resolution was adopted that it was the
sense of the Board that California make a
cumulative exhibit at the Words Fair,
and the delegates to the Conven ton named
above were empowered to prepare in detail
a statement of CalifornIa's wants and de-
mands, to be carried to Chicago by Com
missioner Mcdonald.

Taught Her a Lesson.

A German merchant in London has a
servant girl who is excellent in many re-
spects, but was very forgetful. This fault
was especially annoying at meal times,
when something essential was sure to be
lacking from the table. One day the family
were seated at the table and the bell was
rung as usual. The girl hurried to the
dining-room "Marie," said Herr H,
'ust run and fetch the big step-ladder
down from the attic and bring it here"
Marie, who had been disturbed at her
dinner, gave grunt of dissatisfaction, but
ran up the three flights of stairs to fetch
down the heavy ladder In about five
minutes she returned TO the room painting
with her exertion. $50 now," said Herr
H., ''put it up at that end of the room and
climb to the top" Marie did as she was
told, and when she was at the top Herr II.
quietly observed: "Marie, you have now
got better view than we have just look
round and tell US if you can see any salt
on the table. My wife and l could not
find it." That did the business. Marie
never forgot the lesson.

The Queens Speech Read by the Lo
Elaneallnr

The Queens Speech Read by the Lord
Chancellor.
LONDON, August lsth.-Parliament was
prerogued to-day. The Queens speech
was read by the Lord Chancellor.
II says the relations of the Government
with foreign Powers continue pacific.
Friendly attention had been called to the
Inconvenience which might arise from a
possible conflict over territorial claims in
Africa. Therefore the Queens Government
was negotiating with the Powers mainly
concerned, with the purpose of defining
the boundaries within which the action of
the respective Governments should be con-
fined. An arrangement with Germany,
closing the most difficult of these questions,
had been completed, and her Msjesty's
Ministers laid before Parliament the his
tory of those negotiations, which had re-
suited in the cession of Heligoland to Ger
many.
The speech then announces arrange
ments with France whereby French AL
gerian territory is separated from that of
the British Niger Company.
The agreement for British protectorate
over Zanzibar and the placing OF Madsgas-
also explained.
With regard to the Behripg Sea compli-
cations, her Majesty informs Parliament
that she offered 10 submit them to arbitra-
ton for settlement.
The speech copoludes by stating that the
case of Newfoundland and French fisheries
dispute is one which is occupying the anx-
ious attention of the Government.

THE FRUIT CROP.
The Prospect for Apples and Peaches
Poorer Than a Month Ago.

The Prospect for Apples and Peaches
Poorer Than a Month Ago.
WASHINGTON. August 1Sth.-The August
crop bulletin. just issued, says: The pros
pect for both apples and peaches is poorer
than it was one month ago. The intima-
ton in previous reports that the condition
in New England and along our Northern
territory, returned high in the early re-
ports, would decline as the season ad-
vanced, has been proven correct. The
decline in those sections has been heavy,
although their prospect is slightly better
than that Of the adjoining States. The
causes which have operated to bring about
the present low prospect have been noted
in previous reports-unfayorable weather
during the winter and spring and the frosts
of March. The present returns show that
the results of the cold weather are still ap-
parent in the blasting and dropping of i'm
mature fruit. The Pacific csast alone
reports medium prospect, California
standing at rs, Oregon at SO and Washing
ton at co. The peaches on the slope are in
poorer condition than the apples, the Cali
fornia average being but 65, as compared
with other fruit. The CONDITION of grapes
is comparatively high. especially so on the
Pacific coast. In the States on the Atlantic
coast the present prospects point to crop
of medidm proportions, though the condi-
tions vary locally in some of the States.

ACCIDENTAL DROWNING.
Coroner's Inquest Held on the Crystal
Springs Lake Victims.
SAN MATEo, August 1Sth.-A continuous
search was maintained all last night by a
crew of thirty employees of the Spring Val
ley Water Company and friends OF the
unfortunate victims of Sundays drowning
accident to recover the bodies of the two
men, Albert Lawrence and Sylvester
Quinn. The bodies were caught in grap-
ping hooks and landed on the shore at
o'clock this morning, after which the bod
les of Miss Mcnamara and Miss Gail
were removed to the home of the former 8
parents and the remains of Lawrence and
Quinn to their respective homes.
Coroner Grove and his deputy, r. s. Mat
tingly, were on the scene soon after the
occurrence of the accident, and began prep
arations for the inquest A jury was sum-
moned and sworn preparatory to the re-
moval of the bodies, after which an
adjournment was taken until o'clock this
morning, when the Deputy Coroner held
an inquest.
The first witness to make a statement
was ]. ]. Casey, which was as follows: "a
few minutes before the accident / rode
around the bend in the road leading to the
dam and noticed whitehall boat sailing
down the lake, and when about half its
length turned and came back. Another
bend in the road prevented further view
of the boat until a few moments later.
when / saw the four struggling victims
with the upturned boat in the midst of
them. A young lady and gentleman.
whom 1 subsequently rned to be Miss
Gail and Mr.. Quinn, sank almost immedi-
ately. Mr.. Lawrence was engaged in plac-
ing Miss McNamara on the boat, which he
did three times, she falling or jumping off
each time, until finally the frantic girl
grasped him around the neck and, with up
lifted hands, they sank out of sight"
H. Eng testified as follows: Il was at
work in the blacksmith shop when the
alarm was given by several workmen. l
ran for boat some distance away on the
bank, but just as reached the struggling
victims they went down. 1 then hauled
the capsized whitehall back to the shore
and found the body of Miss Mcnamara
caught in the sail by the foot. James Den
ahy swan to the boat, but was too late to
render any aid"
The statements of other witnesses were
presented and the jury returned verdict
of accidental death by drowning caused
by the capsizing of the boat.

Minority Report on the Contested Elec.
tion Case.

Minority Report on the Contested Elec-
ton Case.
WASHINGTON, August 1Sth.-Represent-
alive Marsh to-day presented to the House
a report of the Democratic minority of the
Committee on Elections in the case of Clay
ton vs. Breckenridge, in the Second Arkan-
sas District. The report says: with one
exception the district always has gone
Democratic, and the presumption should
be in favor of the Democrat against the
Republican contestant. The theft of the
ballot box in the case is admitted, but it is
held that it did not change the result of
the election; that the Democrats carried
The district by a majority OF 149, even al
lowing the Republicans the disputed votes
in every township"
The report comments on the instruc-
tons of the House to make full and thor
ough investigation. This exceptional
case" calls attention to the great number of
charges and counter-c charges and issues in
volved, and states that the committee spent
but twelve days in taking evidence.
Says the report: 'The House may Judge
upon this, and it will be called upon to
judge from proceedings-still more unusual
and shocking-how disgracefully and GRIM
inally this case has been handled by party
prejudice, malice, and for the purpose of
accomplishing improper results, and the
same have deadened every sensibility in
the gentlemen from whom the House and
the country had right to expect better
things.
'Some base and ingenious mind seems to
have guided them, and it is not far short of
the truth to say that this investigation has
been o miserable farce, and the majority
report is unfounded-in truth, not justified
by the evidence-and is defaced by repe-
tition of partisan ISLANDERS not sustained
by any testimony"
In conclusion the report says: when
those intrusted with official power so far
forget right, justice and duty as to act as
majority of the committee has done it
brings distrust and odium upon the party
and upon the House, and their actions and
conclusions should be rejected and re-
buked. Never has a great question been
so wretchedly, so feebly, so unjustly and so
scandalously treated and adjudicated. But
passion under injury and wrong is not the
proper mode of redress. and if the House
puts the seal of its approval upon the re-
port and recommendations of the commit
tee, then we appeal to the people to rebuke
and right it by their votes"

Ell DORADO FRUIT.
Movement Toward Getting 1t Out to
This Market.


Movement Toward Getting 1t Out to
This Market.
The fruit-growers of Ell Dorado county
are holding meetings to consider methods
for more effectually marketing their fruits,
by the establishment of shipping head
quarters at points convenient to the rail-
road, where the various kinds can be sorted
and properly packed for market. There is
a great deal of fruit now produced in El
Dorado county, but the orchards are small
and widely separated, and no attention has
been paid in the past to the raising of
choice shipping varieties in large quanti
ties. On this subject the Republican of last
week says:
I'VE have repeatedly urged the necessity
of some means of handling and marketing
what fruit is raised in the county, and have
urged the establishment of a fruit-shipping
business in this city, which would natu-
rally be the shipping point for large
section. 1t is true that the business would
not be large one for a few years, because
the right kind of fruit for marketing at
distance is only beginning to be raised but
the establishment of shipping business
will encourage those who have fruit, and
stimulate them to plant more. The exist
ence of more trees will in turn stimulate
the business, and all will grow up together
and become profitable.
"At present all fruit raised in the county
is marketed at disadvantage, because so
little of any one kind is raised in one
place; yet notwithstanding these difficult
ties, the agents of the fruit dealers in
Sacramento and Placer counties ransaek
the county to collect these small lots.
Within the last FIVE years it has been our
observation that not pound of good ship
ping fruit has been without demand, and
the average price has been remuherative.
If the fruit were raised in large orchards,
of single variety, it would bring better
prices. for it would then cost less to handle
it. There is money in the fruit business
or the shipping firms of other places would
not search for the fruit so persistently.
"a proposition is now before the citizens
of the city and its neighborhood to estab-
lsh canning, drying and shipping busi-
ness, and we believe that it should receive
the prompt attention of everybody who
feels any in terest in county growth"

MINERAL LANDS.
Bill to Provide for Their Examination
and Classification.


and Classification.
WASHINGTON. August 1Sth.-Representa
tive Carter of Montana to-day reported to
the House from the Committee on Mines
and Mining bill to provide for the exam
ination and classification Of certain mineral
lands, etc. 1t authorizes the Secretary of
the Interior to speedily cause all the lands
in Montana and Idaho within the land
grant and indemnity land grant limits of
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company to
be examined and classified BY competent
persons, with special reference TO their min
eral Or non mineral character, and to reject,
cancel and disallow any and all claims or
filings heretofore made or which may
hereafter be made by or on behalf of the
railroad company on land in those States
classified as mineral land. The word min
eral shall not be held to include iron and
COAL
The bill also provides for appeals from
the findings of examiners and for such
publicity of classification returns as will
give notice to all persons of the conclusions
reached with regard to each tract of land.
The committee thinks with this public
ity, and with the right of appeal, it cannot
be maintained that the property interests
may be disposed of under the bill without
due process of law The sum of $4,000 is
appropriated to carry out the provisions of
the bill
