Report Of the Agricultural Department for
California and Oregon.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The crop bulletin
just issued by the Agricultural Department
says concerning wheat: California pre-
sents disappointing report. large area
having been cut for hay, and some dis
tricts, notably in the San Joaquin Valley,
returned reduced yields that are nearly fall
ures. The general average of the State
estimates of the yield is, for winter wheat.
14.4 bushels, and for spring wheat 16.4
bushels.
In California oats did not yield as well,
comparatively, as wheat or barley, but are
of good quality. Barley is the most i'm
portant grain next to wheat, as it is used
very largely for feeding, and it has yielded
very satisfactory crops. Buckwheat IS
grown but little, but seems to be good
average crop. Corn, also. is good average
crop. Potatoes yielded largely, especially
keep well, owing to the severe hot weather.
This, taken in connection with the low
prices, makes the potato crop rather un-
profitable. Sweet potatoes are OF full
average crop and good quality. Hops are
a good average crop in both quantity and
qualities
Oregon-Wheat is good crop both as to
quality and quantity. In some localities the
grain was injured and shriveled by hot
weather, but in others the quality was tlne .
Oats are also good crop, and the quality
is of high medium grade. Corn and Irish
potatoes show a full average condition.
Hops have been in general damaged by lice
and In some places by mold. There will be
little more than half a CROP and 1t Will be
of very poor quality. Tho yield per acre IS
about 1000 hounds.

The POSTOFFICE SITE.
5fldaYiiS Forwarded to Washington Con-
Cernins the Location.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The Secretary OF
the Treasury has received from Colonel John
P Irish q bundle Of affidavits from reput-
able citizens of San Francisco in substantial
ton of his claim that the Seventh and Mis-
sion streets site for Postofice at San Fran
cisco is a good one. The citizens like Its
location, and declare that solid foundation
can be had on that site. Among the atlantis
are the following: R. w. Gorrill, Presl-
dent of the Pacific Bridge Company; ex-
Senator Frank J. Sullivan; n. W. Spalding
member of the Board of Trade; William I.
Humphreys, ex-County Surveyor for the
City and County Of San Francisco; j. w.

Francisco; William Z. L. Flick; Michael
Commit, contractor; Edward kerrigan, 1or
forty-two years a resident of San francisco;
n. 2. Perrine, contractor for street anu
other public work, and Frederick Hess, pro-
prietor of the California Demokrat German
paner)
Ex-senator Sullivan in his statement de-
clares that he indorses ex-senator Falr
views, who says that if he owned the Sev,
enth and Mission streets property he would
not part with it so cheaply. Mr.. sullivan van
gives this as his unbiased opinion OF tne
site, declaring that the selection OF Seyentn
and Mission or any other lot would not
benefit him pecuniarily. j. w. Lowe, an
artesian- well borer, formerly OF San Fran
cisco, but now in Santa Clara County,
swears that lie bored well 1863 feet IN
depth on the lot on the southeast corner OF
Mission and Seventh streets, 50 feet inches
distant and opposite from the proposetdl
PostOffice site, the exact location OF the Welt
being on the southeasterly corner OF sad
lot, 70 feet nOrthcaSterly from Seventh
street, and about 70 feet Southeasteriy from
Mission street. In boring said we'll he en-
countcred the following kinds of soil: Be
ginning at the floor of the basement he exca-
waited to depth Of from II to. IA
feet below the street grade. First, surface
sand of the same character as IS found In
all parts of the city to the depth Of 30 feet;
second, a layer of black loan, hard, dry
and solid, between l and 2 feet in thickness )
third sand and clay mixed, forming very
tough and compact mass, difficult TO pierce,
this extending to the 70-fOot mark; fourth,
about Is feet of hard blue clay; fifth, water
bearing sand to the depth of 100 feet;
sixth, feet of blue clay, when the boring
ceased. Mr.. Lowe further says that to his
knowledge no difficulty was experienced III

Views Of President Harrison on the Manu-

facture Of Tin Plate.
PITTsBURG, Oct 2l.-Last week W. c.
Cronemyer Of the United States Iron and
Steel Tin Plate Works at Demmler, Pa.
sent President Harrison box Of tin manu-
factured at the Demmler works. This morn
Ing Cronemyer received the following letter
from President Harrison, dated Washing
ton. October 10Th:
NY Dear Sir; l have your letter of
October 18th, and also the box of bright tin
plate which you sent as a specimen Of the
product being turned out by the United
States Iron and Tin P late Company. have
no skill in determining the character Of this
work, but to the eye it seems to be emf
nently satisfactory, and thank you for this
evidence of the new industry which has
been established in the United States.
=" cannot quite understand how any
American can doubt that we have mechan-
ical skill and business sagacity to establish
successfully here the manufacture of Ito
plate No other country, certainly sur
passes us in the inventive genius of its citi-
Zens or in the business sagacity of its capt
talists, and it is surprising to me that any
patriotic American should approach this
question with a desire to see this great and
interesting experiment fail, or with an
unwillingness to accept the evidences of its
success.
1t will be a great step in the direction of
commercial Independence when we produce
our own tin plate. 1t seems to me nothing,
unless Ii be lack of faith in the maintenance
of the present law, can thwart this desirable
achievement. l can understand how our
success should be doubted and our failure
accepted with satisfaction in Wales, but
cannot understand how any American can
take that view of the question, or why he
should always approach every evidence of
the successful establishment Of this indus
try in this country with disposition to dis
credit aud reject it. If the great experiment
is to fail our own people should not add to
the modification of failure the crime of re-
iOirino in il. "

Steamships.

Prohibition Of Exports.
Fpecial to THE MORNING CALF

QUEENSTOWN, Oct. 21.-Passengers of the
Inman Line steamship City of Paris, which
arrived here to-day from New York, tell of
the terrible weather experienced by that
vessel during the last three days Of her pas
sage across the Atlantic. Heavy seas swept
the steamships decks ON Sunday, four
ladies in the main saloon being knocked
down by the sudden lurch of the vessel,
sustaining severe injuries.
When the City of Paris arr ived here she
showed ample evidence of the pounding
she had received from the Atlantic rollers.
Ten feet of her port rail was carried away
and she was damaged about her stern. A
cabin passenger OF the City of Paris, Henry
Danks, died yesterday. His body was
brought to this port
The Cunard Line steamer Scytha, from
Boston, October 10th, arrived this morning,
having in tow the Dutch steamer Edam,
from Rotterdam for New York, returning
with her propeller gone. The passengers
of the Edam were landed here. They
will be transferred to the steamer Rotter-
dam, which will convey them to New York.
The Edam lost the blades of her propeller
on October 18th. When the propeller broke
the passengers became panic-strcken, aud
the ship was rolling about helplcssly in the
trough of the sea. On being assured by
the officers that there was no danger the
passengers became quiet. Sail was finally
set by means of which the ships head was
kept to the sea. The Edam drifted three
days before the Scythia came to her assist
ance.
She sustained no other damage. She will
be docked and new blades put in her pro-
peller, when she will proceed to New York.

An informal reception was rendered last
night by the Manhattan Club to Hon. AL
fred Fl. Colquitt, United States Senator
from Georgia, who is visiting the State
for his health and pleasure. The club
rooms were very tastefully decorated with
flowers and string band discOursed poDu-
lar music in the ante-rooms during inter-
walls.
The guest of the evening was received by
large attendance of members and after
seats had been taken speech Of welcome
was delivered by Horace G. Platt. In re-
plying, Senator Colquitt expressed his
thanks for his cordial reception and
also his appreciation of all the
great advantages of the State. He regretted
that California was not DemOcratir State.
A State that had been gained under Demo-
cratic administration, battled for chiefly by
Democrats should be banner Democratic
one. The speaker alluded briefly to the dis
advantages of a protective policy, and made
some witty illusions in contrasting the pres
ent situation with the past. In closing he
expressed the hope that the State would
surely join the Democratic siSterhood at the
next Presidential election.
AT the close of his remarks an appetizing
cold supper was ably sampled.
Senator COlQuitt will address the lrOquois
Club next Friday evening. He leaves for
the East on Monday.
