that millers are forming league to pur-

behind them, will sell only at enormous
prices.
The grain has gone up from s212 to 80 cents
in week and Hour has advanced % cents

have so far succeeded in running on East
Tennessee wheat, but the supply will be in

MERCHANTS PICNIC.
An Immense Turnout Assembled
at Schuetzen Park.

The managers of the arrangements for
celebrating the fourth annual merchants
picnic must nave been satisfied with their
efforts yesterday upon seeing the large at
tendance at New Schuetzen Park, San Ra-
fae, as each train that reached the station
brought full carloads of invited guests to
swell the crowd that went over in the early
morning.
By 2 o'clock the number assembled at the
park was estimated at fully 1900 bent on en-
joyng a perfect day in the country. For
those who meant to dance the pavilion was
ready with capital music, while for those
interested in athletic sports there was a
spirited basel ball match between picked
nine from various commercial houses, led
by w. Warland of Holbr0Ok, Merrill q
SteIson, against nine from the house of
Welman, Peck & Co., led by II. Mcintyre.
which resulted in victory for the first
named by score of 10 to 8.
The only drawback TO the complete sue
cess Of the affair was the size OF the crowd
when compared with the supplies furnished
for the lunch tables. Not anticipating sue
a rush of hungry people the managers soon
found that the demand for food exceeded
the supply and they did their best to honor
tile lunch coupons with show OF dried
herring, sardines. cracker aud cheese and
aqua pura in place OF standard luxurleS aud
Yands for a we'll ordered picnic
Luckily those who came late were as jolly
as possible and made the best of a bad posi-
ton. Another cause for complaint was the
prevalence of high wind that swept over
the salt marshes, bringing with it clouds Of
dust and sand that proved very trying TO
every one on the grounds. During the day
ninety-two handsome gifts were distributed
equally between ladies and gentlemen,
and BY O'Clock the guests returned to the
city well pleased with their outing. The
following gentlemen composed the various
committees:

East Oakland Tournament for the
Club Championship.

There was full days tennis at the East
Oakland Clubs grounds yesterday afternoon,
play not being concluded till shortly before
z O'Clock. The competition was for the gen
tlemen's club championship and handsome
silver cup, and was regarded as a certainty
for Charles Bates, a representation which
the play justified. The weather was not
too favorable, for though the afternoon was
bright and sunny, the high wind bothered
the players good deal and interfered with
accurate placing. The games were not, as
rule, closely contested. third set being
only once rendered necessary. This was
when +. H. Fisher met Bates in the semi
finals and pulled off the first easily. Bates,
however, recovered his usual form and won
the two next sets easily. The sets between
Sam Neel and II. NJ. Fine, Sam Breck and
Ross Hoffman and Breck aad Neel were
also interesting, but all through it was
the start of play.

Been Made an Indian.
For the first time in the history of the
North American Indians, says a writer in
the Boston Advertiser a white woman,
Mrs. Harriet Maxwell Converse, has re-
ceived the honor of a national adoption by
an Indian nation. Instances of "name-
giving" have not been infrequent among
the Indians, the naming" being accom-
panied with considerable ceremony, and
usually terminating with a feast. These
ceremonies, however, are purely compli-
mentary, evidencing feeling of friendship
for the person named" and appreciation
for some act of kindness. But this is the
first instance in Indian annals of a formal
adoption of white woman into an Indian
community, to become an actual member of
their nation, to be fully recognized as such
and entitled to all the privileges Of one Of
the blood.
So the legal admission into their nation of

the rights of the Indians Of this State, and
she effectively aided the Indian delegation
at Albany to oppose a bill before the As

have deprived them of their lands. The bill
was killed in committee. Before the hear
