The Foreigners Trying to Recapture the

New YoRK, August 26.-The CONNER
cial Bulletin says: Local jobbers are
selling new Andora layer raisins at ~
cents and off-stalk Valencias at 634
cents to the retail trade, the goods to be
delivered from the first steamer due. 1t
is an openssecret that they are in posi-
ton to fill orders from later arrivals at a
concession from the prices named, and
unless all signs are very much at fault
Spanish packers are taking the offensive
at this early date in the contest with
California packers for supremacy in the
American market. The Spaniards, it is
asserted, will this season use more than
ordinary care in curing and packing this
fruit, and will spare no effort to regain
the trade that has been captured by the
Californians in the past two years. At
the prices thus far indicated the Califor-
mans will undoubtedly find vigorous
competitors in their foreign rivals if the
attempt to maintain the prices now
asked be continued any great length OF
time.

opium was situated. He located the
opium in trunk and demanded that it
be opsned, but On Wor said that it was

being told that they would break it
open If it was not unlocked, he pro-
duced key and opened it and disclosed
the opium. The value of the opium was
5000. 1t was confiscated by Maxwell, as
it bore no mark OF having passed
through the custom house and was thus
contraband. The opium may have been
smuggled in at San Francisco, but
would it not be very easy for a sailing
vessel to smuggle it in at any OF the
smaller ports or fishing coves, since
there is no revenue officer nearer than

A RAILROAD ron SALE.
The Pacific Short Line to be Sold Under
the Hammer.

the Hammer.
CHICAGO, August 26.-By order of the
United States circuit court, the Pacific
Short Line railroad will be sold at auc-
tion next Tuesday, under foreclosure
proceedings. Among the bidders, it is
understood, will be the Illinois Central,
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul, and
the Northwestern. The road was orig
inally intended to run from Sioux CITY
to Ogden, Utah, paralleling the Union
Pacific, and shortening by several hun
dred miles the present rail distance
from the Missouri river 70 the Pacific
slope. Up to last fall the road had been
built between Sioux City and O'Neil.
Neb., 100 miles. The enterprise locked
promising enough until last falls finan-
cial panic. Then Gould had cob
bled the Union Pacific and was
understood to be hand in glove
with Huntington, who controls
the Central Pacific. The latter road,
which is the only outlet from Ogden to
the Pacific coast, was in hostile hands,
therefore, and the Pacific Short Line
people decided it would be folly, under
the circumstances, to complete that line,
so the property was allowed to 20 into
the hands of receiver, and is now to
be sold. The Illinois Central is said to
be anxious to get possession of the road
so as to gain access to the Black Hills
territory. If the Chicago and North
western buy it, It may ultimately be
completed to Ogden, if not actually ex-
tended to the Pacific coast. The Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul would
like control of the line, because it trav-
erses rich agricultural section, and
taps the Wyoming oil and coal fields, in
suring a profitable source of revenue to
the company operating it.

Grant to raise money for the families of

to the relief fund was Mrs. Crane,
owner of the collapsed building. who
gave 1900. All work was stopped at 5 p.
m. Numbers of persons whose friends
and relatives are missing, still hover
near the scene Of the disaster. As there
is 80 large a number missing, not ac-
counted for, it is thought that several
bodies were consumed by the flames.

The Financial Scheme OF the Union Pa
cific Retarded by jays Absence.
New York. August 26.-The Times
saws: The hitch in the financial scheme
by which the enormous floating debt of
the Union Pacific company can be ex-
tended for three years, is believed to be
due to the uncertainty concerning Jay
Gould's purpose in the matter. That
financier is expected to reach home from
the west next week, and soon after his
arrival it is predicted that Union Pacific
affairs will begin to move. The under
standing in Wall street is that j. Pier
point Morgan consented 80 act as trustee
in the proposed Embarrassing scheme.
only after exacting from Russell Sage,
Sidney Dillon and George ]. Gould con-
cessions of great importance to the road.
One of these concessions, it is believed,
was the presidency of the road, and
some of the knowing ones in the street
insist that Morgan selected his able
lieutenant, Samuel Spencer, to succeed
President Dillon.
