Never since the war had the national House
Of Representatives been constituted with SO
overwhelming majority of one political
party. The tidal wave of 1891 had carried on
its crest into the chamber of the House 236
democratic members while only 8Srepublicans-
a few more than one-third of number of demo-
crats-came in with tho undortow. For the
first time the new political organization,
the Farmers Alliance, was represented
in a national body. Its adhercnts con-
sisted OF a mere handful. New faces were
everywhere, particularly among the DEM
ocrats, and many OF the old familiar faces were
missing. The Napoleonic countenance of Mai.

ON THE SIDE OF SAFETY.
FOSTER AFRAID TO TAKE UP THE
~ PER CENT. LOAN.
Extended at Nominal Rate of Inter-
est at the Option of the Holders.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Notice is given
by Secretary Foster that the principal
and accrued interest of such of the ~
per cent. bonds, issued under the acts of
July IA, 1870, and January 20, 1871, as
may be outstanding on the second day
of September, 1901, will be paid on that
day, and the interest on said bonds will
then cease.
The suggestion has been made on the
part OF the holders of some of those
bonds, OF a desire to extend the
payment thereof, at the option
of the United States, at the rate
of one or one and one-half
per cent. per annum, and the secretary
of the treasury will hereafter consider
whether the acceptance of such offers or
any OF them will be profitable to the
government, and in that event reserves
the right to except such bonds from his
call.
1t is officially stated that the sugges-
ton as to the extension of the AZ per
cent. loan, added to the call made to-
day, is made more as matter of prece-
dence than necessity. The treasury de-
partment, it is said, is abundantly able
to pay all of the SOL ,000,O 900 Az per
cents outstanding, but in view of the un-
certainty of future receipts and expendi-
lures it is deemed better to take
the side of safety. The secretary not
only believes that he has ample means
to defray all the expenses of the govern
ment, but is. confident that he will be
able to retire considerable amount OF
the public debt, in addition to the
$236, 100000 already paid during the
present administration.
One of the purposes in suggesting the
opportunity to extend the maturing
loan at nominal rate of interest, is a
desire to avoid the enforced retirement
of part or all of the $23, 100000 national
bank circulation now secured by AZ per
cent. bonds.

Troops Needed to Keep Squatters OFF the
Puyal1up Reservation.
TACOMA, WASH, June 2. = United
States troops from the government bar
racks at Vancouver on the Columbia
river, arrived here this morning to pro-
tect the rights OF the Puyallup Indians
to the lands OF thei reservation across
the bay from this city. The land is di-
rectly opposite and contiguous to Ia
coma, and ranges in value from $4,000 to
$4,000 per acre. A score of Indians
are residing in huts in plain sight from
parts of Tacoma, who own lands in their
own rights worth hundreds of thousands
OF dollars, and there are individual In
dians worth half million. During the
last two months squatters have settled
on portions OF this land and erected
shanties, hoping to gain title to it by a
loophole in the land act These squat
ters have increased steadily lately,
despite the work of Agent Eells of Puy-
allup reservation. For about week
the agent has been keeping the wires
hot between here and Washington,
with the result that soldiers appeared
this morning. There is one company
of twenty-five men in charge OF Lieuten-
ant Cahell. They went into camp at
once on the reservation. Some Of the
squatters are well known citizens OF Ia

seven Days Already Consumed in Taking
Testimony.
MARYsvILLE, CAL, June 2. - Seven
days have now been consumed in taking
testimony in the case of w. L. Wilson,
one of the defendants charged with
tampering with fifty-fve ballots cast at
the election in Willows, Colusa county
(now Glenn), at the election last No
vember, when the question of county
division was being voted on. In the
neighborhood of 100 witnesses have been
examined by the prosecution and the
defense. Most of the witnesses came
from Colusa and Glenn counties, and
some from places as distant as Oregon.
By tacit understanding the attorneys
have gone into the investigation at
great length, the result being that much
has been brought out that will have very
little pertinency to the allegation of
felony on the part of the defendant, the
idea being to let everything come out at
this trial, SO that much of it could be
admitted by one or the other side at
the succeeding trials, there being about
twenty defendants.

GRAPE PROSPECTS.
The Crop Promises to Be an Immense
One This Year.


SAN Francisco, June 2,-Secretary
Scott. of the horticultural commission,
has of late received many reports
from vineyardists in all parts of
the state, which show that the
prospects for the grape crop
are most encouraging. The vines are in
the very best condition. In the San
Joaquin valley few reports state that
vinehoppers have made their appear
ance. These little pests resemble grass
hoppers, except that they have no
wings. They are quite destruc-
tive and when they attack the
vines in large numbers they
devour all but the wood. They have no
made their appearance in large numbers
in the valley, and the vineyardists SO
far are not alarmed. In Los Angeles.
San Diego and Orange counties the
Anaheim vine pest has made it's ap-
pearance, but only few vineyards have
been touched so far, and it is believed
that the yield of grapes in the southern
part of the state will be very large this

Action at Acapulco.
SAN Francisco, June PA private
letter just received from an officer on
the United States cruiser Charleston
describes the warlike preparations on
the cruiser at the time she entered
Acapulco harbor, while on her chase
after, the Chilean steamer Ttata. The
letter states that the Charleston arrived
at Acapulco at 7 80, May 10Th. At 4
O'Clock in the morning she encountered
the Esmeralda. The Charleston was
endeavoring to enter the harbor unseen,
but the Esmeralda threw out her search
lights, and all hands on the Charleston
were called to quarters and the ship was
cleared for action. The men were at
their stations for three hours, as it was
supposed the Itata was in the harbor,
and everything was in readiness to take
her. Six and eight-inch shells were
piled on the deck, and every gun was
loaded. The Esmeralda followed the
Charleston into the harbor, but the lat
ter left and resumed her chase as soon
as possible.
