SAN FRANCISCO, May ia confer
ence was held at the Chamber of Com
merce this afternoon by number of men
interested in irrigation and number of
bankers. The object Of the meeting was
to assist the negotiation of irrigation
bonds issued under the Wright Act. The

their support.
About S10,OOO,0O0 of bonds have been
issued, and only 100000 placed The

San Francisco to Their Credit.
SAN FRANCISCO, May ia report is
current here in connection with the re-
cent arrest of Senator Trumbull, the al
legged agent of the Chilean insurgents, to
the effect that for some time past $3.50, 900
has been on deposit at the Bank of Brit
Ish North America, in this city, to the
credit Of the insurgents and their agents.
The money is said to have been sent here
from Chile, and also letters are now in
possession of the Government authorities
which show that many of the wealthy
and influential citizens of Chile have
contributed this and other large sums of
money for the Overthrown of the Balma-
ceda Government
United States District Attorney Garter
said to-day that the fact of there being a
large sum of money on deposit here to
the credit of Senator Trumbull would be
an important circumstance in determin-
ing the guilt Of the accused
Considerable speculation is INDUCED in
here as to the outcome of the attempt of
the United States Grand Jury at Los
Angeles to secure the dispatches from the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
Companies relative to the Chilean affair.
The Superintendent of the two compa-
nles were summoned on Monday to pro-
duce these dispatches, and it is said they
have both refused to do so.

Crops in Ontario.

TORONTO, May 19.-The May bulletin of
the Bureau of Industries gives cheerful
forecast of the yield of fruits and grains.
So bright an outlook, it says, has not
been presented for many years for full
wheat crop in Ontario. Winter rye is in
fair condition. OF the other grain crops
little is said. There is q decrease in the
area of barley sown, owing to the fear of
the Mckinley bill interfering with the
price. Some fields formerly devoted 20
barley are sown to spring wheat, oats and
peas. Fruit trees and grapevines came
through the winter well, and will likely
have large yield. But little injury was
done by the recent frosts.

Further Evidence Taken Before the
Court of Inquiry.

"
WALLA WALLA, May 19.-The Court of
Inquiry on the lynching by soldiers was
resumed to-day. The officers of the gar
rison testified that they had no idea a
lynching was intended. Attorney Fl. S.
Blandford testified that after the at
tempted lynching on the night of the 23d,
the officers were warned that the SOL
diers were coming again next night. One
source of information was from Mason
of rank in the garrison, who wanted to
save Marshall Robinson. Sergeant Geo.
Jares, who was off on a furlough, also
warned policemen Ames and Morse that
they would be murdered if they did not
keep away from the Jail that night. All
this was communicated to Colonel Comp
ton, and he said he had no more idea that
his soldiers would sack the Jail than
would members of the Episcopal Church.

The Gendarmes Succeed In Expeung
Her From Servia.
BELGRADE, May 19. - After consulta-
ton, the Ministers and Regents this
morning decided to expel Natalie from
Servia, and instructions to that effect
were given to the police.
A strong force of gendarmes made a
fresh attack upon the Queens palace and
succeeded in breaking through the cor
don of students and citizens guarding
Natalie. After a sharp fight the gend-
armes succeeded in entering the palace.
The gendarmes then forced their way
into Natalie's bedroom and summoned
her to arise, as she must instantly leave
Servian territory. The Queen calmly re-
piled that she would yield to force, and
requested the students who so CALAMITY
defended her to make no further resist
ance. The Queen was then allowed to
dress herself, and after bidding adieu to
the leaders of her defenders, during which
most touching scene was witnessed, she
was escorted to private carriage which
was waiting at the palace entrance, and
was hastily driven to the railroad station,
followed by the cheers of the students and
the citizens of Belgrade, whose enthuSi-
asm had to be kept within bounds by the
display of an overwhelming force of
troops. At this station special train was
III WalIlllS ana Jne queen 1nlineulaIely
was conveyed on board. No sooner was
the Queen and her baggage on board than
the train left the depot for the Hungarian
frontier.
The populace is enraged against the
Minister of War, Colonel Miletics, who
is understood to have been the most active
of the Ministers in insisting that Natalie
should be expelled. The popular feeling
against him is so great It's probable he will
be compelled to tender his resignation.
In the fight which took place last night
between the gendarmes and the students
and citizens, while the latter were defend
ing the Queens palace, one man was
killed and fifty more or less severely
wounded.

Crabs particularly are fighting ami
mails. in fact they will fight anything.
! have seen u crab, in conflict with a
lobster, catch the latter over the fore
part of the head, where the shell is
hardest and crush it in by one effort.
And it rather bears out my idea that
the claws OF these creatures are par
ticularly weapons Of war; that the mo-
ment one OF them receives severe
Injury in a claw it drops it of by vol
nntary amputation, severing its con-
nection with the body ut the shoulder
by an act OF its own will. 1t seems to
me probable that If the claw were nee
essary for feeding nature would rather
seek to cure an injury to it than let
the animal discard it altogether.
The species of crab which is most
conspicuously a fighter is the hermit
crab. Its first idea OF independent life
is to eat harmless whelk and occupy
its she'll; its next notion is TO give bat
tie to every crab of tho same persua-
sion as itself that it comes across. Al
together hermit crabs are undoubtedly
the most quarrelsome creatures in ex-
istence. -lnterview in Washington
