INFECTED PLANTS.
The Cargo of Tahiti Orange Trees Still
Held at San Pedro.


Secretary B. NJ Lelong Of the State Board
of Horticulture has just received a report
from Alexander Craw, State Quarantine
Officer, concerning the inspection and disn-
fiction of cargo of $4,000 Tahiti orange
trees, which arrived at the Port of San
Pedro, Los Angeles County, on the 18th day
of last June.
Upon examination, the trees were found
to be covered with species of scale insect
entirely unknown in the State, and cQnse-
quently the owners were denied the priv
lege of landing them until a fumigating
process could be gone through with. The
report states that the process was repeated
several times without having the desired
effect. Then a suit to condemn and destroy
the trees was commenced in Los Angeles by
order of Attorney General Bart. The case
came up for hearing before Judge Law in
Department of the Superior Court, who,
after hearing the evidence, decided that the
trees should not be destroyed. but that they
must remain in quarantine att San Pedro until
the owners can prove that they are clean.
The report concludes with the assurance
that there can be no danger from infection
as long as the trees are kept in their pres
ent location, unless the insects should de-
velOp into winged form.

delivery horse and wagon. Something
transpired to brighten the animal. and he
SHE'D sideways so quickly that before any
one could catch hold of him he had overturned
the wagon. Master Nichols held on 10 his

Acock could catch his bits. As soon as the
wagon was righted the plucky little fellow
remounted the seat and started for town.

his age to act as this little fellow acted in q

ILLINOIS sENATORsHIP.
Matters Expected to Fake on Ney Phase
Through an Influx of Congressman.

SrRlNGFIEID, March This week is
expected 10 be a memorable one in the
Senatorial contest. A. the |. =. Con-
yreSS adiOuruS Wednesday the Illinois
Congressional delegation Of both parties
is expected here to participate in the
Senatorial fight. OF Republican Con-
greSSmem, three or four are expected TO
become possible Senatorial candidates
themselves IN the event OF Streator 0e-
ing abandoned by the Republicans, and
the Democratic COngreSSmen will prob
ably exert a great influence upon their
party In the all-important question OF
the advlsablity Of General Palmer's
withdrawal.
The Associated Press has secured ex-
pressionS from the Democratic Con
gressmen of Illinois in regard TO the ad-
visibility OF Democratic legislators
abandoning Palmer under any circum-
stances. W. NJ. Springer is Of the
opinion that Palmer is entitled to the
uuwavering fealty of the Democratic
Legislators. The Democratic State
| Cenventicn," says he, put GenerBl
| Palmer in nomination, aud no Demo
cratic caucus has right TO withdraw
| him. ThiSis matter which rests with
General Palmer himself. aud as long aS
he remains candidate the Democrats
of the State should rest assured there is
a hope of success aud give him their
| loyal support The talk of General
| Palmer'S withdrawal seems TO have or
igiuated with the Republican managers
and the Republican press; and certainly
we are too loyal 10 our principles aud
our candidates To- be routed 10y the
enemy"
Congressman Scott Wike retains very
nearly the same opinion, and said he
would not be ia favor OF General RAJ
mer's withdrawal. COngressmen Lane
Williams aud Forman not being on the
ground. did not care 10 express any
opinion.
/ CONGRESSMAN Lawler thinks Demo
ocrats ought to stand 10y Palmer until
the enemy grows weary Of their cause
and capitulates.
EX-Clyil Service Commissioner Ooerly,
who has long been recognized as the
mentor of the Illinois Democracy, said:
The Democrats of the Illinois General
Assembly should not leave Palmer. The
Democratic party will gain more by de-
feat in Palmer'S support than by victory
obtained by deSerting him and Surren-
dcring To the three f. NJ. Il. \. men.

RIPLEY, O., March Near Decatur,
this county, to-day the arrest of two
men by United States Secret Service
detective and two deputy marshals was
made. Last Saturday there arrived in
this city j. w. Lawrence, of the Secrc
Service at ST, Louis, Mo-, and Deputy
United States Marshal Robson, Of Gin
cinnati. They were soon joined by w.
H. Williams, from Portsmouth, o. At
o'clock this morning the three officers
took carriage and drove back 10 the
country seven miles, where the birds had
been previously located by Detective
Lawrence. Last December there ar
rived in this city man giving the name
of J. A. Brown, of Missouri, and he was
accompanied by a friend, ). a. Smith.
They did not remain here any length
Of time, but went directly out 10 Deca-
tur, where Brown claimed to have
friends. 1t now tranSpircS that Brown
had become a correspondent Of daugh-
ter of ID. B. kirker, well-to-dO farmer
OF near Decatur, through the medium
Of newspaper advertisement three
years before aud had finally come TO
plead his suit ia person.
Brown married Miss kirker in Janm-
airy. Since that time Brown and Smith
have been visiting about Decatur aud
having good time generally. 1t is re-
ported that Smith was also to take Il
wife soon from among the prosperous
farmers daughters.
AT the January term of the United
States Court at Hannibal, Mo, Messrs.
Brown and Smith were both Indicted
for raising innnmberable one dollar bills

same. The case was put into the hands
Of Detective Lawrence, by whose untir-
ing efforts the game was finally located.
The officers came quietly upon their
victims, and neither offered any resist
ance, and proclaimed their innocence.

POSTAL SUBSIDY BILL

WASHINGTON, March The Senate
met at $3.50 o'clock this morning.
The General Deficiency bill was re
ported. and Mr.. Hale gave notice that
he wonid ask for its consideration to-
day. The Agricultural Appropriation
bill was also reported with like notice.
The credentials of James Henderson
Kyle, rs Senator from South Dakota, for
the term beginning March replacing
Mr.. Moody, were presented and pla a,ed
on file.
Mr.. Frye called up the House amend
ment TO the Tonnage Subsidy bill, aud
moved TO non-concur in the amendment
and that the conference asked by the
| House be granted.
Mr.. Reagan expressed the wish that
the House amendment be cOnCurred In,
rather than that the danger Of more
Objectionable bill from the conference
committee be incurred. The substituting
of ships he held was not going to IN
crease commerce. The only way TO IN
crease either imports or exports was TO
remove the shackleS of the tariff. The
bill was simply and nakedly agiit to
the ship owners of the country.
Mr.. Morrill, moved To concur in the
| House amendment.
Mr.. Vest expressed himself opposed
| to all manner of subsidies aud stated his
objections To them. The subsidy did
not apply merely to vessels to he butt
hereafter. The Red Star Line, with
| four American-b ships running from
Philadelphia. would receive large sub
Sidy without eXpending single dollar,
even for repairs, and the Pacihc Mail
Company would receive $500, 900 Il year
without any further expenditure. These
companies were already making money
without any aid from the Treasury. But

was willing Gf IL would terminate the

Harris and Reagan stated their lnten-
tion TO vote against ii, and Mr.. Vest
stated his intention to vote Tor IT, oe-
cause otherwise il was certain that the

amendments offered 10y McsSrS. Vest,

taken on Mr.. MOrrill'S motion to con
