Notes About Productive Land In Severai
Parts Of the State.
A correspondent Of TIE CALL who
has been travelling very extensively
through the fruit growing districts OF
Santa Clara, Fresno, Tulare and Kern
counties writes his experiences and gives
his conclusions. which are as follows
While in Santa Clara County large guam
tity Of fruit is produced, the best grown
fruit there is the French prune.
Fresno County has about a dozen
choice parcels OF laud, but the balance
set out to vines viii never pay
for the labor ana money expended There
are some choice parcels In the oyerf0wed
lands, but only a small portion that has
deep enough soil In Kern County there
are some very good lands and some very
fine fruit, especially clingst0ne peaches, but
the fruit-grOwers use too much water
The best lands for all purposes that he
saw, especially for the different kinds of
fruit, were in Tulare County. The
raisins Of Lucerne Valley surpasS those Of
any other locality in the world. Peaches,
pears and prunes grow heavier, larger in
size and finer in hYOT, while in the foothills
they produce the finest oranges
and lemons. Santa Clara men are
beginning to realize this fact, and
are investing accordingly. Mr.. Buxton,
the largest prune-grOweT in Santa Clara
County, has purchased $50 acres of land in
Tulare for Drune-rasng. Last year TulaTe
peaches brought from 2 to 2R cents a
pound and pears cents q pound on the
tree. The lemons are the finest shipped to
this market, and are superior TO those Of

DIRECT VOTE
FOR SENATORS.
The Popular Movement Being
Agitated.
Discussion in Committee Of the Proposed
Reform Measures = Preparing the
New Rules for the House.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-The popular
movement fer the election of United States
Senators by vote of the people is likely to
be one of the most important subjects dis
cussed by the present Congress. 1t seems
likely TO be the one great subject of ma
tional interest upon which party lines will
not be drawn, and from this fact the adyo-
Gates of the proposed reform derive the
encouragement of ultimate success. While
i is probably true that of the dozen joint
resolutions on the subject introduced in
the two houses, or in course Of Drepara-
ton, most of the authors are Democrats,
yet several of the most emphatic advocates
Of the amendment are Republicans. Sena-
tor Palmer of Illinois. Democrat, who has
long stood as an exponent OF this popular
principal in the West and who ascribes his
election solely to the favor with which the
people of Illinois have received the new
theory, will take charge of the reform
movement in the Senate, while Representa-
tive Johnson, the Republican representa-
tive from North Dakota, will be the most
aggressive advocate Of the constitutional
amendment in the House. In Representa-

Special to THE MoRNINa CALI

New YORK, Jan. 16.-The annual dinner
Of the Reform Club took place tonight at
Sherreys. E. Ellery Anderson, presiding
officer, in a brief address, extended greet
ing to the banner-bearers of tariff reform,
and introduced as frat speaker Senator
Villas of Wisconsin, who responded to the
toast, The Presidency in 1892" He
recommended organization, the enlistment
of all justifable influences and deprecated
impracticable methods. He said the Demo-
crats would always be outmatched ln
fraudulent arts by the Republican party, to
win the trust of the people if it can.
Tariff reform and free silver coinage are
not twin brothers. Prolonged cheers. J

NEW YORK, Jan. 16-The past week has
been prolific of many offers of purses to

purse Of $4,000. and Frank Slavin declined
the tempting offer of $4,000 to meet Cor

a night between FitZsimmons and Maher,

considering him a secOnd-rater. The next
move was to offer an $4,000 purse for rattle
between FitZsimmOns and Jimmy Carroll
OF Brooklyn, but FiZsinmons refused to
meet Carroll. The next offer was $4,000
purse for fight between Maher and Joe

THE BALTIMORE.

Not Damaged and VIII Not Be Placed
the Dry-DnCk.
The cruiser Baltimore is stIll lying in the
stream at Mare Island, and it has been de-
cided not to place her on the dry-dock
again as the diver sent down to examine
her bottom reported that the ship is unin-
jured The officers say she grounded on a
bank Of soft mud, but the crew tell a dif-
feTent story.
Some Of the men were seen by CALL re-
porter last night and said she struck some
thing harder than mud and that some of
her plates are seriously dented. The plates
may be bent but not sufficient to warrant
her being placed on the dock if the officials
at Washington decide that the time 10 do so
could not Ue spared.
A dent in one or two Of her plates would
however, not affect her speed or her fighting
ability. The repairs TO her engines and
boilers are about finished, and the cruiser
can be made ready for sea In forty-eight
hours II orders to that effect are received.

ATTACK THREATENED.
Fears Of an Encounter Between Tennessee
Miners and State Troops

MEMPHIS, Jan. 16.-A special to the
Appeal from Knoxville, Tenn,
says: Alarming reports we're received
from Coal Greek late tonight. A man in
on the late train says that miners to the
number of 2000 are assembling on a mount
ain overlooking the soldiers camp with a
view to making an attack.
at II 80 o'clock the operator in the camp
telegraphed that many miners were mass
ing on the mountains and there had been
some firing by pickets. The camp is in
much confusion expecting an attack, but
the men are prepared to ''hold the fort"
At midnight nothing had been heard from
the operator. To-day was payday at
Coal Greek and some persons are predict
ing trouble. At midnight the wires were
still up, and the fact that they had not been
cut is construed to mean that the movement
of the miners was simply demonstration
to worry the troops.
