AMERICAN MEDICOS.
President Briggs Address to the National
Association,

ASSOCIATION.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The American
Medical association was called to order
this morning by DR.. Patterson OF Wash
ington chairman of the committee on
local arrangements. President Briggs
of Nashville, Tenn, delivered an ad
dress. In substance he said: Physicians
should recognize no geographical bound
ary lines. The good of the human race
was the object OF all physicians of the
American Medical association. Beyond
uniting the physicians of the country,
the association helped to spread knowl-
edge throughout all the world. 1t gave
the medical world the esprit de corps.
In its code of ethics, which was the
golden rule of medicine, two great
objects were continuously before
the association-toe encourage instruction
of medical education, and the medical
education, and when this was reached,
should congratulate itself upon having
achieved one of its objects; but though
moral suasion, not coercion, was the
principle of action, yet the time was
coming when legislative power should
De given JlllS DOuy NY NAlCl IL mISHI
act with authority for the whole medi-
cal profession of the United States.
Let US ask those members who sulked
away from US, to come back;
harmony and peace should be the rule
without exception. The result OF the
American Medical College association
ought in every way be upheld, and those
colleges which refused that constitution
ought to have its members ineligible to
the American Medical association.
DR.. Briggs then begged that all trans
actions should be done in harmony and
with success, and closed amid applause.
A vote of thanks was given the presi-
dent, and committee of five appointed
to take charge of the address and report
in regard to the sentiments therein con-
tanned next Friday.

New YORK, May 5.-The Washington

his paper as follows: 81 am informed
that Secretary Blaine's proposal for the
total suppression of seal catching within
the Bering sea will be formally COM
municated to Minister Pauncefote to-
morrow, or by Wednesday at the latest.
Not the least interesting circumstance
connected with this new departure in

active part played in it by President
Harrison, Notwithstanding his tempo

Passes Resolutions.

band OF C0lored Brothers Meets and
Passes Resolutions.
CINCINNATI, May 5.-The American
Citizens Equal Rights association, COM
posed OF colored men, held convention
here today. They adopted series of
resolutions affirming their purpose to
secure full and free exercise OF every
right given them by the constitution.
They entered protest against the eff
forts of few so-called leaders of the
race, to induce the administi alton to
recognize them to the exclusion of a
more progressive class, whose aim it is
to work in the interest of the whole peo-
pie. They also called the attention of
the organization to the fact that colored
men were appointed to Office mainly in
the south, where the only political SER
vice colored men can render, is to send
delegates to national conventions, and
are denied to those northern states
whose votes are necessary to the success
of either party. James M. Townsend,
of Indiana, was elected president.
Among the vice presidents is Rev. j. +.
Johnson, of California.

THE ORANGE CROP.
THE SITUATION OF THE MARKETS
IN THE EAST.
Results of Inquiries Made of Local Ship
pers-They Claim That the Best Part
of the Crop Has Been Forwarded.

The statement having been made and
received with some credence that the
shipments of citrus fruits to the east had
fallen off, that prices had dropped to
very low figure, and that the eastern
market was overstocked with California
fruit, HERALD representative was yes
terday detailed to examine into the
matter, and spent good portion of the
day in visiting various fruit shippers in
town and making inquiries. From these
gentlemen and their agents the follow
ing facts were elected:
At the commencement of the season
the oranges crop promised to be such a
large one that in grading the fruit a
great quantity formerly graded
higher was graded as ''culls." thus leav-
ing the orchardist at this stage with
quantities OF fruit-nearly third of his
crop, IN some instances-on his hands.
Much of this should have been shipped
early in the season, along with the high
grades.
Now, all the high class fruit in sight
having been shipped, the price naturally
falls-not the price of high grade fruit,
which, if obtainable, would still bring
high prices-but of the less valuable
grades, for which less price is always
received. Eastern agents having only
handled the better grades during the
early part of the season, are naturally
not anxious for the poorer quality, and
there is consequently less demand for
the only oranges now on hand; but
prices, considering the quality of the
fruit, have not fallen to any appreciable
extent, and the shipments have really
only fallen off because there is less fruit
to ship.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Unusually cold

out the entire northern portion OF the
country east of the Missouri and Mis-
sissippi rivers, the line OF freezing tenn
perature extending from Southern
Maine westward through Western New
York and Northern Ohio, and including
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
North Dakota. In Southern Michigan
the temperature was the lowest on rec
ord for this season of the year, the min
imum there being l degree lower than
previously observed during the first
part of May. Severe frosts occurred
throughout these regions, probably
causing considerable injury to fruit and
early vegetables.
Boston, May 5.--Dispatches from va
rious parts of Massachusetts and Con-
necticut, state that ice was formed in
many places last night. Cherries and
plums suffered, but other fruits are not
far enough advanced to be injured.
Snow fall is reported in Vermont.
NORTH TROY, vt, May 5.-The ground
was covered with snow this morning.
ALBANY, n. Y, May 5.-Reports from
various portions of the state show that
frosts occurred last night, and that ice
formed. The weather is said to be the
coldest experienced at this season for
many years. 1t is believed that great
damage will result to fruit. Snow fell
here.

OAKLAND MISPLACED.
Los Angeles Entitled to Rank as the
Second City.


EDITORS HERALD: Frequently of late
| have noticed San Francisco and other
northern papers alluding to Oakland as
the second city OF the state. The most
recent mention of this kind is in The
Examiner of Sunday, May 3.
In reference to the miserable failure
of the reception of the president at Oak
land, the Examiner states both editori-
ally and locally that Oakland is the sec
ond city in California.
Los Angeles has, by the last census,
more people than Oakland, and is away
ahead of that place in enterprise, public
improvements and business.
These facts are probably well known
to most newspaper men OF the state and,
unless they desire ito misrepresent, the
San Francisco dailies have no reason to
give their suburb the name OF second
city of California before she has attained
that honor.
Your paper should read the riot act to
the San Francisco editors and insist on
their giving Los Angeles fair deal.

May 4th.

Stimson's hall, on Upper Main street,
was we'll filled yesterday afternoon, on
the occasion of the celebration by the
Junta Patriotica Mexicana and other
Spanish-American orders. A fine band
was in attendance and the exercises,
literary and elocutionary, aroused the
widest enthusiasm among the Spanish
Americans present. The hall was decor
ated with the national colors, flowers
and evergreens, and the very liberal
number of seats provided came near
proving insufficient. The programme
was substantially the same as pub

The Indian Farce.


DeadwOod Independent:-The present
Indian scare is not only a most
gigantic farce, but a horrible crime. At
time has there been the least danger
of an outbreak. The trouble originated
in stealing the rations appropriated and
in starving the Indians. Then cam the
harmless ghost dance which the fool
agents tried to suppress by calling for
troops. The farce was taken advantage
OF by the towns surrounding the reserya-
ton to create a little boom. Rapid City
and other towns have been temporarily
benefited by the sale OF food and forage
for troops. The sensational dispatches
sent out from that point were made up
out Of whole cloth. The only Indian
fight there has been was the one in which
Sitting Bull was killed and no white
man was engaged in that. At Coles
ranch one poor, lone Indian, out on q beg
ging expedition, was murdered in cold
blood. Every effort to bring on trouble
has been made by those whose interest
lies in tina direction Of Indian wal, bul
but thus far not a single shot has been
fired by ali Indian at any white man.
The farce thus far has cost the govern
ment over a million dollars, one.tenth
part Of which spent in food for the In
dams would have prevented any trouble.
Congress should Immediately order an in
veetigation of this outrageous affair.
