RAINS AND RAISINS.
ANXIOUS ON AC-
COUNT OF THE SHOWERS.
Many Thousands of Tons of Grapes Dam
aged-Fresno Ships Another Train Load
of Raisins-The El Csjon Output.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 1.-The state Wit
icultural bureau reported today that
anxiety was felt in various parts OF the
country on account of the recent heavy
rains. At Livermore there were over
1000 tons of grapes on the ground, val
ued at $15 ton, and unless the weather
changes for the better, they will all have
to go. In other districts there is said to
be less sugar in the grapes than there
was four weeks ago.
FRESNO, Oct. 1.-Another solid train
of raisins and dried fruits left here to-
day for eastern points. This is the
second train load within five days. To
days train numbered twenty-five cars.
So far it has been impossible to estimate
the loss to vineyardists caused by
the late rains. If the present clear
weather continues, the loss will be
slight.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, Oct. 1.-Reports
from Ell Cajon state that the loss from
rains to the raisin crops is very light, as
most OF the crop was in the packing
houses at the time the rain commenced.
The first shipment of raisins east will be
made this week. The output is esti-
mated at about 150,0 900 boxes.
NAPA, Oct. 1.-This morning was
cloudy and at intervals light mist was
falling. Grape picking in many cases
has been suspended. The damage to
wine grapes is already hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Further loss will
result unless the weather speedily clears.

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Oct This after
noon the jailor heard knock at the
door of the court house. He opened it
and found ten masked and armed men.
They said they wanted James Herring
ton, to whom they proposed to give a
lesson. AS the jailor refused to conform
to their wishes, they seized him. took
his keys and put him under guard. They
then proceeded to the sheriffs' room and
also captured him. Next they opened the
Jail and took Harrington from the cell
in which he was confined. He resisted,
desperately, but they gagged him and
put him in wagon and conveyed him
to lonely place four or five blocks
away, stripped him and applied a coat
of tar and feathers. He was then set
at liberty and disappeared.
Several hours afterwards the sheriff
found Herrington's clothing and brought
it to the Jail. There was bullet hole
in his shirt and some bloodstains.
While the struggle was going on in the
jail a shot was fired, but was probably
accidental.
Harrington has been known hereabouts
nearly three years. Part of the time
he lived at Poso and part at Tulare City.
He presented conspicuous and respect
able figure on our streets when here. By
occupation ne was a pettifogging
lawyer, and his principal bus.
mess was that of promoter
of land contests, making the condition
OF settlers on public lands miserable,
and getting money out of the troubles
he caused them. The occasion of his
being in Jail was complaint preferred
against him by settler whom he had
engaged in contest, OF perjury. He
had been arrested at Poso the preceding
day and lodged in the cell only few
minutes before the vigilantes arrived.
Of late he had grown bolder in his
operations, and his schemes had OBJ
structed the regular business OF the land
office, SO much so that he was often
complained of by parties having business
there whom he was not victimizing.
No one wished him serious bodily
harm, and SOME uneasiness was felt as to
his fate until dispatch was received
this evening stating that he was
in Tulare city. 1t is probable that after
he was set at liberty he made quick
time for his home at Poso, eighteen
miles distant, as that was the direction
in which his tracks headed as far as
they could be traced. There it is likely
he made himself presentable as soon as
possible, previous to getting outside OF
the county,

RUSSIA AND THE JEWS.
What the United States Has Done to Pro-
tect Its Citizens.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The president
today transmitted to the house, in an
swer to resolution concerning the
enforcement of proscriptive edicts
against the Jews in Russia, a report
from the secretary of state, upon the
subject In his letter Secretary Blaine
refers to correspondence on the same
subject sent to the house in 1882, and
says since that date correspondence has
been had with the government of Rus
sia in several cases of alleged interfer-
ence by the Russian authorities with
the rights of citizens of the United
States, protesting, or being sup
posed to profess, the Jewish faith.
He says the correspondence shows
that the United States government has
omitted no proper occasion of remon-
STRANGE against the application Of the
religious test to our citizens in Russia,
against the enforcement of the disquali-
fication founded on such test, which
proceeding is without warrant Of recog-
milton in treaty stipulations between the
United States and Russia, and more
over, is repugnant to q the fundamental
doctrine of freedom OF conscience and
equality of religious belief on which
organized society almost universally
rests. The secretary further says
when it was first reported that the
Russian government was about to take
measures resulting in the expulsion of
vast numbers of it's subjects because of
their religion, our charge d'affaires at St.
Petersburg advised the department that
he had the highest authority for main
tanning that the Russian government
does not contemplate any change from
the present lenient enforcement of the
Jewish edict OF 1882.

TRADING IN SILVER.
Sharp Change in the Situation and Bet
tor Prices.


ter Prices.
NFw YORK, Oct. 1.-Trading in silver
certificates was heavy today; 100000
ounces were sold in the New York stock
exchange, and there was equally heavy
business between the brokers outside.
There has been sharp change in the
situation since yesterday, when the
prospect appeared decidedly unfavor-
able. One of the most prominent
German houses sold nearly million
ounces and forced the price down to
Sl0934. 1t was said this selling was for
account for pool which had been car
rying large block down from around
81. 10, and silver dealers say that when
this silver was known to have been sold
they were willing to begin buying
again, and buying orders came
in from many sources today,
carrying prices up to $1.141s. The
brokers ascribe the improvement to the
removal of the pressure hanging over
the market; to higher market in Lon
don, and to purchases by the govern
ment for the October quota. Some
believe the decline was the work of
London operators who depressed the
market in order to make better terms
in the semi-annual Indian settlements
which began today.

STEAMERS IN COLLISION.
Two Big Ocean Liners. Come Forcibly
Together.

New YoRK, Oct. 1.-The steamship
Majestic of the White Star line, and the
Dania of the Hamburg American COM
pany, were in collision today as both
vessels were outward bound. The ac-
cident occurred below the quarantine
station. The pilot of the Majestic dis
covered that the tide was swinging her
bow over toward shallow water.
To prevent her running aground she was
sent ahead at full speed for the purpose
of getting ahead of the Dania to hold
her course in the channel. The Majes-
tic being SO much larger than the Dania,
the latter vessel was drawn by the sue
ton over against her. Two of the Dania's
life-boats were lost, and three OF the Ma
jestic's. The Dania's bridge and the
captains deckhouse were also damaged.
After examination the vessels proceeded.
