BLAINE's RECIPROCITY VIEWS.

They Are Pcrceptibly Mellowing the Ultra
High observation-disclosures Stru-
BILE to Open the Campaign for Virginia
Republicans.
MIR. Blaine's reciprocity views are mel
lowing the ultra high protectionist per-
ceptlbly, and not few are admitting, after
calm reflection, that his plan, if adopted,
will open up avenues advantageous to this
country in many ways. Hon. I. s. Stru-
BILE, as we'll as many other western congress-
men, hold this opinion, and have on
several occasions openly expressed them
selves in favor of Mr.. B.aine's reciprocity
ileas. Especially since the publication Of
the Blaine-Frye letters has Mr.. Struble
been pronounced in his utterances favoring
reciprocity with South America.
Congressman Struble opens the CAM
paign for the Virginia republicans at Fred
erick City, the first week in September.
He was invited to address the state grange
last week, but owing to the scarcity of
members in the house he was compelled to
decline.
By the end of the present week Superin-
tendent Porter expects that the work of
counting the census returns will be COM
pleted. Already the count has reached
$4,000, 900, and according to Mr.. Porters
estimate, which he said to-day would prove
to be about correct, there are $4,000, 600
more to be counted, which will make the
total population of the country about
64,0OO,00O. This work is being done as
rapidly as nimble fingers of young ladies can
glide over the keys of the electric counting
machines. When this count is finished
then there must be comparisons made, the
results verified and errors corrected before
the final official result of the count can be
given out. The census officials assure Mr..
Porter that the verifcation can be COM
pleted in ten days. Mr.. Porter does not
doubt it, but allows twenty days. Even
then the result can be announced soon
after Sept. l, and congress, it it desires,
can proceed to pass an superintendent bill
and determine how many members shall
constitute the next house.
Hon. Daniel Kerr, of Iowa, an able
speaker and who is always ready to defend
republicanism, Wednesday evening adj
dressed the Iowa republican association.
He dwelt principally upon the tariff issue
and the democratic flibustering at present
going on in the house to retard progress of
business.
The query, when will congress adjourn,
has become thing Of the past, and for
some days no one has heard word re-
garding the matter. If anything is said
the time for adjournment is set for some
time in October.
The executive appropriation bills will
allot lands in the Indian territory to sew
eral tribes and open up million acres to
settlers.

History of the Crlmo.


N. r. Towne, a wealthy farmer whose
home is SIX miles from Arlington, was
drawing water at the we'll about 6 o'clock
on the morning of the 18th, assisted by his
daughter, Miss Hattie, who is school
teacher. Mrs. Towne and the other chill

beside the pump stood small reservoir,
used in storing the cans of cream. While
Mr.. Towne was STOPPING over arranging
the milk cans his daughter stood beside
him assisting him. While thus employed

nize, but who looked like tramp, came
through the gate leading into the yard and

In the house on the 18th after an unsuc-
cessful effort had been made to secure the
passage of the senate bill granting leaves
of absence to per diem employees In the
customs service, the house proceeded to
the consideration of the conference report
on the Indian appropriation bill. MIR.
Cannon, of Illinois, criticised the report as
being the most extraordinary one which
had ever been submitted during his ex-
perience In the house. The senate had
agreed to amendments ageregating 81, 2OO,-
900. The house had non-concurred
in these amendments, when this
ference report carried the
full amount OF the bill as it passed the
house, with the full amount of the senate
amendments, and $4,000 more. The bill
created number of new offices and IN
creased the number of salaries. After
considerable debate, which Mr.. Springer
moved to recommit the bill to the commit
tee on Indian affairs, the conference report
was aers ed to. The house then resumed
consideration Of the Nat Mckay bill, the
ouestion being on it's reference to the COM
mittee on claims. This was rejected.
Pending further consideration of the Nc
| Kay bill Mr.. Cannon, by unanimous con-
sent, called up the senate joint resolution
proyiding that the unexpended balance OF
the appropriations for the aid of the Mis-
sissippi food sufferers be used to aid destl-

WAS IT A BLUFF?
eff You Pick Red Berries You

The other morning when the train of the
North Pacific Coast Railroad stopped at
Ross Station, beyond Sausalito, several
parties of young gentlemen, aggregating
about thirty in number, stepped brlskly out
from the depot for walk in the neghbOr-
hood of Mount Tamalpais. Some of them
headed for the summit of the mountain by
way of the Eidridge grade, some announced
their determination OF stopping at fuckers

who warned every body not to pick red
berries (meaning the beautiful Cornell ber-
ries, which are so much used for Chrlstm as

pals, stating that "lhe patrolman who
makes himself so officious in Upper Ross
Valley and who by methods of intimidation
was endeay oriBg to drive visitors out of that
beautiful section would have four assist
ants at Ross Station in the evening for the
purpose of arresting any and all persons
arriving from the direction OF Upper
Ross Valley who had in their possession
clusters OF berries or sprigs of redwood or
fir. Several of the gentlemen expressed o
determination, if any opportunity pre-
scented, OF securing what they conveniently
could carry. In the evening some of the
trampers returned by way of the slide
down into Mill Valley, others took the trail
over the Hogs Back" to Alto formerly
known as Blythdale). while the balance re-
traced their footsteps to Ross Station, all
loaded down with the berries. But the
patrolman and his four assistants did not

were made but that the warning of the man
on the wagon in the morning was only the

left his two children, girls aged 9 and 10
years, in the basement of Gil Eddy street,

The children were deserted by him to live
or die by starvation, neglect and exposure.
Only a filthy bed was seen in the cellar on
Eddy street when the officers rescued the
little ones. Kindly neighbors took pity on
the deserted girls and fed them for few
weeks. until it was necessary to provide
them with clean clothing, when the police
were informed of the children's pliable
condition.
Neill has been arrested five or six times
