DETROIT STREET CAR STRIKE.
An Attempt to Run Cars Defeated by
the Strikers.

A conference was held Thursday
Afternoon between the police department
aud the sheriff and the city railway OIL
cials, and 1t was decided to give the COM
oany the support Of the whole police
department and the sheriff's force to en-
able them to run the cars.
The first car got away all right, followed
by patrol wagon containing ten officers.
A second car started Immediately after
without protection, however, and tho
strikers threw it upon its side and across
the track. The attempt to start cars was
given up, but tho first out continued its
perilous course to the river. Two police
men were on every corner the whole
length Of the route. In the attempt to
start on the return trip thcro was very
exciting scene. A burly striker set his
buggy squarely across the track. HIS
buggy was smashed, and he was thrown
to the ground and arrested. The car
proceeded uumolested.
A car which had been lying at the river
front all day was then started up the hill.
She word quickly spread and in a short
time about 1900 people packed the broad
avenue from the north sido Of Jefferson
avenue down TO the river. The car started
mp the hill at q breakneck speed. The mob
closed about the car. A number OF bug
gies, trucks, etc, had been run across the
the tracks. The dozen policemen on the
car tried To remove them, but could not

be torn TO pieces. Hendri-'s discretion
eyidcutly got the better of his valor then
and the car was started back 10 the river.
The crowd pursued II and, unhitching
the horses, tried TO run the car into
river. The crowd was charged by force

RAISIN PRODUCT.

This Years Prices and the Outlook for
the Future.
Captain Thomas Il. Thompson came up
from Tulare yesterday and is at the Lick.
In speaking of this years raisin crop, he
stated that the yield has been good and the
quality excellent, the September rain having
caused no perceptible damage TO vines or
grapes.
prices are lower this year than last" he
continued. Vineyardists who received
from ~ to cents q pound last fall for
their raisins are only receiving 81 to 80
cents now. The reason for this is that early
in the season the French and Spanish raIsin
men, whose grapes mature earlier than ours,
placed large quantities of raisins in New
York at and cents, whereas last year the
price was II cents. The foreign producers
made no profit at the lower rate, if it did
not en- Tail an actual loss, but they succeeded
in filling the market, and Californians will
suffer, too, except that they can profit by
the 2@ cent duty imposed upon their COM
petitors.
'The remedy for the prevention OF a repe-
tltiOn Of this experience lies in the hands of
our people They must put up their raislns
at a smaller cost than IN the past, and the
best way to accomplish this is to ship them
East in sacks and let Eastern packers press,
box and label them. The advantages of this
plan are manifest Freight charges would
be less when shipped in sacks, Eastern labor
for packing would be lower, boxes could be
obtained cheaper. and a saving could even
be effected on the lithographiDg If done at
Chicago or New 0rk. This plan is begin

HAND AND FOOT.
Two of the HerrIman's Crew in
Irons Fifty-0ne Days.

Upon the arrival in port OF the whaling
bark Emma F. Herman on Sunday Cap
tain Fish failed to report that he had kept
two of his men in irons down in the vessels
hold for fifty-one days, but such is the case.
AS reported in The CALL some time ago,
the bark lost one of her boats containing the
chief mate and six men, while chasing a
whale. 1t was in this connection that the
two men -Henry Mann and a sailor known
as "Jim"-were chained in the vessels
hold nearly two months.
1t appears that after tine boat fastened TO
the whale, the third mate with his boat was
sent back to the Herman for a buoy, as
the first mate was afraid tie big fish would
sink. When the third officer reached the YES
sci Captain Fish refused to send the boat
back again and left the mates crew to fight
it out alone, while the bark went after another
whale. which had just been sighted in an
other direction. Fearing that Fish was
about to desert the mate and his crew Of
six, Mann and jim demanded that the vessel
go to their assistance, and were at once
placed in irons by the captain.
The whaleboat containing the seven men
was afterward picked up by the revenue
cutter Richard Rush and reached this city
some time before the Herman. 1t was not
until the Herman had almost reached San
Francisco that the men were released from
their foul-smelling prison, after having been
ironed hand and foot and fed on nothing
but bareback and water. They said moth
ing, until they came ashore, but yesterday
placed their case in the hands of an atter-
ney and a suit for damages will be begun
against the CAPTAIN.

Outcome of the GrBco-Russian Church Dis
sension-An Expected Challenge
Does Not Materialize.

Scratch a Russian and you will find a
Tartar DR.. Nicholas Russell is the Rus
sian who has been scratched and the Tartar
is now discovered. The person who has
done the scratching is Vladimir Artzymo-
witch, the Russian Consul. DR.. Russell has
sent him letter which was intended to
arouse that gentleman's ire and decide him
to issue a formal challenge, or accept the
letter as a challenge and return an afirma-
tive reply The casus belll is an outcrop-
ping of the GfecO- Russian Church feud
which has been going on between the pre-
siding Bishop and some of his parishioneFs
who have selected DR.. Russell as a leader,
and whose efforts resulted in an announce
ment to the effect that the Bishop had been
recalled to Russia. The Bishop denounced
the statement as an untTuth, and the tele-
gram signed by the ODER Proeurator, which
DR.. Russell gave as authority for his state
ment, was claimed to be forgery. clrcu-
lar to this effect was signed by some Of the
Bishops adherents, among whom was VladI-
mir ArlZymOvitch.
A HAUNTING LETTER.
This suited DR.. RUSSELL who could not
we'll imbr0il himself with priest, and his
letter to ArtZymovitch was at once dis
patched. The tone of the letter is quite
strong. and there are some terms therein ap-
piled to the Consul, coupled with taunt
and it closes withfa statement that DR.. Rus
sell will be at his disposal at any time.
Up to a late hour last night ArtZymOvitch
had made no reply to the mis5iye and was
not 20 be found at his residence To all in-
quiries for him the reply was: "He is not
at home and | cannot say when he will be-"
DR.. Russell was very much in, as he ap-
peared to be expecting a reply and quieted
his impatience with numberless cigarettes
81 said he purposed forcing the matter to
an issue and has a stock of documents to
prove that he is perfectly eligible to meat
his Consulship under any ana all require
ments of the code duellO. At the present
time he thinks that ArtZymOvitch will, by
his refusal to reply 10 the letter, force him
to resort to- the slap-in-the-face act which
Dr. Russell does not wish to do, but will if
necessary.
FOUR OBSTACLES.
The Bishop saws that the Consul cannot
fight with DR.. Russell for four reasons,
which are: First, that Or. Russell is exiled
and a fugitive from Russia, which makes
him the inferior of the Consul; second, that
the church will not permit it; third, that
the Russian Government will not permit it;
and lastly, that it is not permitted by the
laws here.
When informed of all the foregoing objec-
tions DR.. Russell only laughed and said he
thought he could overcome them. The
friends of both parties are impatiently wait
