VICTORIA, October r7.-Commissioner Liv-
ingstone's report Recommending a close sea-
son for salmon IN the Columbia river and
its tributaries, is favorably received by sal
mon packers, who think it would be better
for all parties concerned were there some
and Canada, so that no advantage could be
taken of the packers on either side, when
the other reduces the pack either for pro
lection of fish or to regulate the supply.
The fact that several British Columbia seal
ing schooners are for sale causes much ap-
prehension for the future and much gloom
in their interests 1t is feared that the
schooners in the hands of the Russians
will be condemned and forfeited. Tardi-
ness of the British authorities in repre-
senting the sealers' case is generally con
demned. While some schooneIs have paid
well many have not paid expenses.

FREsNO'S TRAIN ROBBERs
interviewed by Newspaper Man.
Prepared for "A Long Siege.

FRESNO, October IA Examiner reporter
visited Evans and Sontag last Tuesday and
Wednesday at pontnorth of King river,
Fresno county. A detailed interview was
had with the fugitive bandits, in iich
they described their many adventures
since the fatal fight of August 7th at jim
Young's cabin, when Wilson and McGin-
ness were killed by them. Evans is in per-
feet health, save from the scratch Of the
bullet which McGinnis sent from his six
shooter during the fight. John Sontag
was also shot by McGinnis through the
right arm at the same time, but it was
merely flesh wound and had healed a
week ago. The men at present are COM
fortably situated in the high Sierras at a
point which is almost inaccessible to the
pursuers, and they have a full winters
supply Of provisions.

Now that shoots Of trees and shrubs are
about ceasing to grow and the leaves are
dropping. cultiyators who have adopted
different modes Of pruning during different
times in the season, may see the effect of
different practices. Where growth has
been kept within bounds by pinching off
the ends of shoots in time, full, strong
growth of those shoots has been made; but
where the work has been delayed and half
the leafy shoots have been cut away, there
Is not that full, strong growth, or small,
Wiry side shoots have shot out. We have
seen fine young vineyard ruined by cut
ting Off all the growth above the branches
to let in the sun. A large portion Of the
entire foliage of the vineyard had thus been
cast away, and not enough left to feed the
rpening grapes, Two rules must be fol-
lowed-if there are TO many shoots, prom
ising brush-heap growth, thin out the
needless ones when not more than an inch
or two long; or, if fewer or too long shoots
are growing, arrest their growth promptly
in time by pinching off the ends. A sufii
GENTLY symmetrical shape may be thus Sc
cured without any waste Of useful foliage.

said:

BETTER TIMES.
Influence of the Mckinley Bill on
Customs Receipts.

A big Increase During she Month
Of September--HOw IL Cores
pOnded with the Previous Year.
what Secretary Foster SasS.
WAsHINGToN, October Secretary of the
Treasury Foster, says the customs receipts
for September jumped from S14, 100, $40 in
1891, to $17,2O9,947 this year, and the re-
ceipts for the quarter ending September 30,
increased $4,000, 900 and made those for the
last quarter a round 100000 900. This
may not mean s4OO, ,OOO, 600 for the year, but
in the opinion of treasury experts it means
a close approach to that figure and it ap-
parently means enough to keep the treas
ury from a deficit before July /, next.
Expenditures for the last year were, $9s-
247 ,9S5, but except in the item of pensions
they were kept below the figures Of year
ago. The pension expenditures continue
to be the cloud of horizon, and instead Of
being no bigger than a mans hand. they
are as big as half million hands reaching
out for the bounty of the nation.
The expenditure for pensions dur
ing the last quarter were $40 367 574
the year. The house of representatives
originally proposed the appropriations of
$l35 900, 600. The senate raised it to S147.
100000, but its evident deficiency of at
least S13, 600, 900 will have to be covered at a
short session this winter. The net cash
balance, when appropriations of Reeds
congress expired on June 80, was S6.692.-
81 1t has now been pulled up to $31 1885,
9l6, with the actual situation even better
than this difference would indicate, for the
items of money in the bank and worn out
silver has been reduced with the cores
ponding increase in the money for imne-
dlate use. These two items footed up
about $27 100000 while they are now re-
dnced to $24,0O0. The margin of free
money on the books is now, therefore.
nearly S8,000,0O0, where a little while ago it
was less than nothing. The balance is a
matter of bookkeeping, and there are
other sums in the treasury which kept the
treasury from practical bankruptcy.

passATIsFTED DEMOCRATS.
A Poor Attempt to Hold "a Separate
Convention.


TOPEKA, Kas., October THE straight
out democrats who protest against the fu-
sion made by the democratic party with the
populists at the convention held last July,
when it was agreed to vote the peoples
marty state ticket in return for the support
of the peoples party for the democratic
electoral ticket, assembled here today The
convention was a disappointment to the
projectors. 1t was called for 10 O'Clock,
but the attendance was so slim at
that hour that it was decided
to wait till IL 80 in the hopes that morn
ing trains would bring in more delegates
When that time came it was decided to at
tempt only preliminary organization in
the morning and wait till the afternoon
trains arrived. Mr.. Mitchell called the
meeting to order and introduced A. A.
Harris, of Fort Scott. as chairman. In his
speech he outlined the policy which the
convention expected to pursue. 1t was
simply to register a protest and absolve
the democrats from allegiance to the July
convention.

arid public lands ceded to the western
states and territories. Early in the pres
ent session Of congress they brought in a
report i'll the house iayoring this plan OF
action. Realizing how slow the Demo-
cratic party usually is to take position on
even ordinary topics that effects the vel
fare OF the people, we ventured to suggest
that there Was nothing sincere about this
favorable report; that it was simply q
ruse TO kill the whole business of so far
as this session Of congress was concerned.
Subsequent events have verified this view
of the case. At its recent convention the
Democracy had not the courage to touch
upon this important subject, and in this
respect its conduct is in marked contrast
with the bold and manly position taken
by the Republicans in declaring them
selves as favorable TO this plan for set
Ting the arid lands question.

A great cry is made against New Mex
leo on the ground Of the high percentage
of llliteraCy among our population. How
ever just that may have been in the past,
owing to our peculiar situation and
sparsedly settled country, it is no longer
so, but is unfair to our people as well as
prejudicial to our interests. No section
of the country is making greater advance
ment than New Mexico in educational
matters. Hon. Amado Chaves, terri
torial superintendent Of public schools in
forms the Republican that this wear there
have been upward of 600 schools in the
territory with over 30 900 enrolled pupils
These figures show that the cry about
illiteracy is at present unjust. With
about one-third the population Of
Colorado, New Mexico has over one-hal
the number Of enrolled school children
Our showing in this matter is better thar
that Of the states of Montana, Idaho
Wyoming and Nevada When thest
facts become generally known consider
able of the prejudice against the admis
sion of New Mexico as state prevalen
throughout the east vii. disappear. New
/ Mexico is doing all this work for educa
ton by direct taxation, and without any
endowed public school system such as W
can establish when admitted to the enjoy
ment Of the rights and privileges OF state

Richard Croker, the Tammany chief,
is quoted as saying: "We will support
Cleveland just as heartily as we would
have supported Hill" and the quotation
is being rolled as sweet mOrsel under
the tongue OF many a Democrat just now
1t is being spoken, repeated and re-
terated as the principal saving clause in
the party's record, and the party shows
with what affect fear the Democratic
party at large regards The Tammany
organization. But will it do them ans
good throughout the nation at large
We think not. Outside Of New IorR

I've willing to have it SAID that in theil
first vote they aligned themselves witt
the Tammany tiger and all the vicious
element in politics represented by thiS
organization. Tammany may count in
New York and its control of spells anG
fight for Doodle may sway considerable
number of votes in that city for Cleve
land, but in the state itself and through
out the country at large the chances are
that Boss Cookers pledge of support

How the white Caps Conduct Official
Business in san Miguel County.

Editor of Free Press,-I see you men
ton the fact that J. J. Herrera voted at
the election in precinct 26 the other day,
and ask if he is not resident of Berna-
lilo county? Is the open violation of the
law by Messrs. Rudolph, Segura, Pablo
Herrera, any the less reprehensible? Is
there any portion Of our country where
prisoners are taken from the county Jail
and allowed to vote except in this county
And at this same election, to say nothing
of their voting, there were maniacs who
have been confined in our county jail for
a long time past to prevent their doing
acts of violence. Is it not terrible parody
upon justice and our free institutions that
this appalling abuse of power has been
permitted to pass without even so much
as a gentle protest against it and its en-.
actors. Tax Payer.--Las Vegas Free
