Senator Carlisle States His Position on
the subject.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Senator Car
Isle has addressed letter to John A.
Lyme in answer to question whether
the Senator has heretofore been in favor
of the free coinage of silver, and whether
his views on the subject have undergone
any change. Senator Carlisle says: "An
answer to your question depends largely
upon what you mean by the free coinage
of silver. If you mean the policy urged
by many under which the United States
Government would be compelled by law
to receive siXty-nine cents worth of
silver bullion when presented by the
owner and coin it at the expense of the
people of the country, and compel the
people by law to accept the coin as the
equivalent of one hundred cents, nv an
Swer is, | am not now and never have
been in favor of it. l now stand where
my lamented predecessor, Mr.. Beck, and
stood together in 1875 when the So
called BlandAllison bill was passed by
Congress. In my opinion, the declara-
tons made upon the subject by the Dem
ocratic party with its recent national
party convention, are perfectly sound in
principle, and enunciate the only true
public policy" IN conclusion, the Sena-
tor says he will support any measure
that will fully remonetize silver and in
sure an equality of dollars coined from
the two metals.

SAN Francisco, Aug. AT q meeting
of the State Board of Trade to-day Mr..
Mills brought up the subject of fruit
marketing, with special bearing on the
transportation of fruits. He recalled
statement made by him at the last meet
ing to the effect that the Southern Pacific
last season carried East fully $1,000 tons
OF green fruit. This statement was
picked up and criticised and he has since
Investigated the truth of his statement.
From records of the company he found
that in the season of 1891 80, 369 tons of
dried fruit were taken East. A rough
estimate is that it took 1924 tons of
green fruit to make this quantity of
dried. Add 4l,000 tons of green fruit,
shipped green, and rs, 900 tons of canned
fruit and we have total of Isl, PA tons
Of fruit shipped only by one railroad
line. 1t is safe to say the trees of Califor-
MA yielded IN 1891 fully 800, 900 tons of
green fruit. Careful estimates for the
present season are that the fruit output
will be worth fully S50,000,000.
The measure Of the market for early
periShaGle products" said Mr.. Mills, ''is
the number of people to whom they can
be conveyed in a sound eatable condi-
fruit right by the doors of persons IN
Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and other States,
who would gladly have purchased it,
simply because IL has come to be the
habit to consider Chicago the depot. So
adjust your train service, and so build
your cars that you can send out many
trains every day on last time that may
stop at every hamlet and city and leave
such fruit as may be desired, and in a
short time you can have $4,000, 900 people
tor customers, and can sell 100000 tons
OF fruit every year, if so much can be
raised.
"rruit-growing is to be the basis in
dustry of California. 1t is only just COM
ing into use as food. The demand will
rapidly increase when the certainty of
the supply and reasonableness in price
can be assured. California fruit ships
better than any other. The trade in it
should be conducted precisely as that in
oysters from Baltimore has been. Special
cars and general distribution on quick
time will put California fruit ripened on
the tree into every family in the country,
and the demand will grow as the popula-
! ton grows. Then there can be no limit
to the demand, and if the plan suggested
can be put into operation every acre of
! land III this State capable of supporting
| trees Will soon have its prosperous occu-
| pant, and the brightest future under the
| sun will have been reached"
Mr.. Mills will resume his subject on
| the second Tuesday in September, when
he Will present a schedule under which
the plan may at once be made operative.
The board appointed Eugene J. Greg
| Dry, l.. 9. McAfee and e. w Maslin a
committee to consult with Wells-Fargo
and other companies upon the details of
the Mills plan.

preliminary examination to-day of John
Rhodes, accused of being one of the
murderers of Thomas Graham, on Au-
gust I'd, Mrs. Graham, wife Of the muir
dered man, attempted to shoot the de-

Rhodes was sitting, placed the pistol
agaist his breast and pulled the trigger,
but the pistol missed fire. She had the
pistol in a reticule on entering the court
room. The hammer of the pistol caught
IN the reticule, and was wedged SO tight
that she could not again cock it.
There was a rush from the courtroom,
lawyers and reporters getting under the
tables. The officers rushed to the rescue,
and Sheriff Montgomery took the pistol
away, with the assistance of several dep
utles, alter a desperate struggle. The
lady pleaded for her gun to shoot him.
The Justice ordered her removed from
the courtroom. but she returned TO make
second attempt, when her father, Rev.
Milton, Baptist munster, took her to a
hotel.

GERS are uneasy for the safety OF the pris-

Monday, and but eight of the 81 wit
nesses have been examined. 1t will last
all week.
