IMPORTANT DECISION.
A Ruling of Interest to Sweet-wine
Makers.

A Ruling of Interest to Sweet Wine
Makers.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2S.-Internal
Revenue Commissioner Mason has Just
rendered decision of great Importance
to the sweet-wine makers of California.
He formerly ruled that grapes could not
run over 26l per cent. of sugar in order to
make sweet wine.
AS majority of California grapes run
over that figure, the growers would have
been put to great expense if the ruling
had been enforced. In order to obviate
such trouble, Internal Revenue Collector
Sears telegraphed to Washington; sug-
gesting the following plan:
recommend that quart sample of
each cask of wine be taken in the pres
ence of a sweet-wine maker, deputy col
lector and gauger, the samples to be a
true and agreed upon average of the same
wine of each cask, the bottles to be sealed
and labeled, numbered and signed by the
sweet-wine maker, deputy and gauger.
When the samples have been taken, the
labels signed and attached, then the order
for detention to be revoked and the wine
returned to the owners for sale or re-
moval, the samples to be held as evidence
in all cases arising. 1t would seem that
the Government is thus fully protected,
while the wine makers are protected
from possible financial complications, if
not insolvency."
To this telegram Commissioner Mason
yesterday replied that the plan might be
followed, except in cases where the par
ties are guilty of fraud.

An Army Surgeon Kills His Wife
and Then Suicides.
A DECISION OF MUCH INTEREST TO
WINE-MAKERS.
Three Sailors Drowned by the Capsiz-
ing of Boat-Project on Foot for
the Consolidation of All Fruit Cam
ming Establishments in the State
Rain at San Diego.
Special to the REcoRp-UN1oN.

SAN FRANCISCO, JAM. 2S.-Surgeon
William D. Deitz, of the Fifth Artillery,
stationed at Alcatraz Island, this morn
ing shot and killed his wife and then
committed suicide by shooting himself.
A shotgun was the weapon used, and both
bodies were badly mangled.
Mrs. Deitz was found lying on the floor
shot through the heart, and her husband
lay close by. The bodies were found at
II O'Clock, and as Deitz was seen outside
of his quarters at 6 o'clock this morning,
the shooting must have occurred between
those hours.
DR.. Deitz and wife had lived on the
island about two years, and had one
child, boy three years old.
The deceased surgeon entered the army
in 1888, and had the rank of Captain. He
was OF a jovial disposition, and appar-
emily lived happily with his wife. It is
generally believed that he was insane
when he committed the deed.
The Coroner'S jury held an inquest
this evening on the bodies of Surgeon
Deitz and wife, and rendered a verdict
that Dietz had killed his wife then him
self.
Two pieces of paper were found in the
room. One consisted of rambling specu-
lations on life, and was headed "Medita-
tones Morituri." The other read as fol-
lows: Look out, Watty, dear little boy.
Save him."
In the longer note was short reference
to manuscript that some firm was about
to publish. 1t is believed that it was the
work on this subject that caused the tenn
porary arrangement resulting in suicide.
w. d. Dietz was native of Georgia,
aged 80, and his wife, Ella, was about %.

ANOTHER TRUST.
The Fruit Canneries of the State to be
Consolidated

The Fruit Canneries of the State to be
Consolidated.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2S.-The Chronicle
says that last Saturday meeting of rep
resentatives of the various fruit-canning
establishments was held in this city for
the purpose of deciding on some action
to better their business.
1t was decided to form syndicate with
capital of S5,OOO,O 600, the owners of the
canneries agreeing to sell their establish
ments on basis of two-thirds cost and
one-third of stock in the syndicate. 1t
was announced that $1,000, 600 was in the
bank for purchasing the canneries
The new syndicate will be called The
California Fruit Canneries Limited, with
$4,000 shares of stock at $50 per share.
Eleven trustees shall govern the consoli-
dation, which shall run for fifty years.
Each cannery shall remain under it's
same management as at present, the gen.
eral direction of business, however, living
with the committees. Other canneries in
addition to these first joining may be pur-
chased from time to time.
All the owners of canneries in the State,
with one exception, have Joined the
compact, and $1,000 shares of stock were
subscribed for.
Committees on Finance, Selling, Audit
ing, Manufacturing and Purchasing of
Canneries, consisting of three members
each, were appointed.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Immediately
after the Coinage Committee was called
to order this morning the question as to
when the vote on the bill should be had
in the committee was raised.
The delegation appointed by the Bos-
ton mass meeting was present, desiring
to be heard.
Bland of Missouri asked unanimous
consent for the vote to be taken on the
bill next Wednesday. The Boston dele
CATION could be heard, and he would be
willing TO come here every day for a
be q vote. Bland wanted the vote on
wednesday, and thought there should be
some agreement to bring the measure be-
fore the House. A long discussion ended
IN the adoption of the motion by Bland
that the committee proceed with the hear
ing to-day and meet again tomorrow.
The Boston bankers were then given a
hearing, and William Higginson having
been selected to present their views, spoke
to the committee for half an hour He
said that much of the financial depression
felt during the last few months was due
to the agitation Of the silver question.
Bartlne interrupted and inquired if
tHeTe were not Otner reasons Tor the de-
preston. He insisted that in fact very
little trouble was due to the silver agita-
ton, but most of it due to the fact that
there had not been enough silver legisla-
ton.
1t appeared from the meeting to-day
that of the committee Walker, Comstock,
Knapp, Faylor and Tracy will be united
in vigorous protest against the free
coinage of silver, while Carter, Bland,
Williams and Bartine would press it's
claims.
1t is understood tonight that Edward
Atkinson of Boston will tomorrow sub
nit an extensive paper against the bill.
lie is well-known statisticiam on uues-
tons OF political economy, and his figures
in this case will conform to the wishes of
the anti-silver men.
1t is thought that BANDS suggestion
for the committee to take vote not later
than Wednesday will prevail, and in this
way the measure will speedily reach the
House.
THE PRESIDENT WAITED UPON.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The committee
of the Boston business men called on the
President this morning and discussed in
formally the silver situation and opposed
free coinage.
The President, it is understood, was
non-committal, and said it would be emf
nently improper for him at this time to
give any expression regarding his views
on silver or his future actions

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-When asked this
morning as to the final disposition to be
made of the Indians now at Fort Sheri-
dan General Miles said: ''That is to be
determined in the future, now that Sit
ting Bull and other chiefs have been
killed, and have most of the other Indi-
ans left without leaders, and there is no
danger of a further outbreak on the res
ervations.

rested were sent to Fort Sully All 9th

authority, and back on their reservations

mand that the Government allow us to
borrow money from the United States at
the same rate of interest as do banks. All
mortgages, bonds and shares of stock
should be assessed at fair value

CAUSE OF LABOR.

Meeting of the Executive Council of

New YORK, Jan. 2S.-At meeting of
the Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor yesterday the circu-
lar issued by Powderly. requesting all
labor organizations to send delegates to
the conference to organize a third party
in conjunction with the Farmers Ali
ance, was brought up, but it was decided
to pay no attention to it, as it was thought
unwise for labor organization to med
die with politics.
The miners demand for eight hours
may next be taken up.
1t was resolved to levy an assessment
of two cents week per capita for five
weeks on members of all the unions con-
nected with the federation.
1t is said there are favorable prospects
for a demand for eight hours to be
granted without any strikes, as employ
ers and employees are holding confer
ences all the time with good results.

OMAHA, Jan. 2S.-The National Farm
ers' Alliance had lively discussion at
to-day's session on the amendment to the
constitution to exclude women from
acting as delegates, and it was finally
voted down.
The amendment making all laboring
men eligible to membership was tabled
by large vote.
The remainder of the morning was oc-
cupied in discussing minor changes, and
recess was taken until o'clock this
afternoon.
In the afternoon the report of the Com
mlttee on Resolutions, which was quite
lengthy, was considered by paragraphs
and adopted. 1t begins with the follow
ing preamble:
WHEREAS, Owing to the opposition that has
been heaped upon us by graSping monopoists
capitalists, trusts and combines we believe it
rs time for action; and whereas, the National
Farmers Alliance in convention assembled,
does most emphatically declare against the
present system as manipulated by the Con-
gress of the United States and the Legislatures
OF the several States. Therefore, we declare in
1aVor OF the holding of a convention to noIni-
nate candidates for the Offices of President
ana Nlce-President of the United States. In
this preliminary convention the representa-
tlon VIII be one delegate from each State in
the Union.
The resolution favors the abolition of all
national banks, and that the surplus
funds be loaned to individuals upon land
security at a low rate of interest: declare
for the Australian ballot law; demand the
foreclosure of mortgages held by the Gov
ernment on railroads; discountenance
gambling i'll stocks and shares; favor the
election of President and Vice-President
by the popular vote.
As the Farmers Alliance of the United
States largely outnumber anyother class of
citizens, they demand the passage:of laws
OF reform, not as party measure, but for
the good of the Government. The Alli-
ance shall take no part as partisans in the
political struggle as affiliating with the
Republicans or Democrats.
The interstate commerce laws should
be so amended and enforced as to allow
all railroads reasonable income on the
money invested
The resolutions further demand that the
mortgages on the Union and Central
Pacific railroads be forcolosed at once
and the roads be taken charge of by the
Government and run in the interest of
the people with a view to extending both
lines to the Eastern seaboard.
The conference with the F. NJ. B. A.
representatives tonight decided that the
two organizations could affiliate, but not
consolidate,
