GAINED BY WHALE OIL.
How a Tempostuous Sea Became Sm Doth
During n Storm.

How Tempestuous Sea Became smooth
During n Storm.
A terrific storm, driving before it huge
sea like tidal wave. struck the British
steamship Dewsland, while bound from
Bilbao to Philadelphia, laden with Spanish
iron ore. The wind blew with great fury,
and an effort was made TO run the vessel be-
fore the wind, but without success.
Suddenly the waters subsidized almost as
quick as they had risen, when what ap-
peared to a black rack was seen some dis
tance awaY. AS the vessel approached
closer it proved to be dead whale of inn
mense size. The carcass was at least six
feet above the surface of the water and coy
eFd with countless birds of all sizes and
descriptions. a stream of sperm oil was
ooZing out upon the sea in all directions
from the fatty dereliet, which all bands be-
lieye had the effect of quelling the heavy
sea- The efficacy Of oil was first discovered
by whalers watching the effect upon the
sea near dead whales.

Oranges are always abundant and cheap
IN England. They come from every orange
growing country on earth, and prices range.
according to size aBd quality, from a cent to
three cents per orange. Remarkably good
oranges may be had during the greater part
Of the season at two cents each or a shilling
per dozen. Navel oranges from California,
no matter how fine and perfect in condition,
can scarcely be expected to command more
than 80 70 80 cents n dozen, and the market
at the latter rate viii only be among the
middle classes and the rich. Even with this
limitation there would still be a brisk de-
mand. Probably superb qualities will c0in-
mand a higher price in the United States
than in England; but, as has been remarked,
the luxurious do not sickle over tTiies when
in Quest of Injuries, and it is quite within
the bounds of possibility that Riverside ma
vels, ripe and sound, may obtain fancy
prices quite unprecedented 10 the annals Of

As to grspes, California Will have to study

Of tie rich provide constant supply OF
table grapes lor family use, and the dealers
are well furnished with supplies by market

Of these grapes are obiainable throughout

May Have Been Scattered Through the

NEW YORK, Sept 1.-The Asiatic
cholera reached the port of New York
on board the steamship Moravia
Wednesday. Twenty-Five persons
bound from Hamburg to America were
buried at sea during the voyage.
Twenty Of these were children. They
all died from Asiatic cholera, according
TO the health officers, though the ships
surgeon reported the disease as choi-
crime. there are now ON the ship two
persons couvalescing from the disease.
The city is now threatened with the
pest aud the authorities are thoroughly
alarmed. Should the plague break out
afresh among the Moravia's passen-
gers it will be almost impossible to
prevent its spread, and the conditions
in the city are such that the disease
could not be checked.
Although II arrived Tuesday night
the Moravia was not sent from the up
per TO lower quarantine with the yellow
flag tying until almost noonWednesday.
The ship Is now there. and, with its
passengers, wall not be released from
the eyes of the health authorities until
every known means is employed in
stamping out the dreaded plague. DIR.
Jenkins Is hopeful that he will be able
To keep the cholera away from the city
of New York.
He has ordered the transfer of the
Moravia's passengers TO Hoffman ISL
and, and will not only make personal
examination OF the disease as il is
aboard the ship. but he will also con-
fer with the health authorities Of this
city and consider ways and means TO
keep II from entering the city.
More vessels will arrive from Ham
burg this week. Il Is probable that
further deaths will be reported. and
eases in their worst form. II is now
conceded, may arrive within the next
few days The situation Is serious.
Unless all immigration from the infect
ed ports Is stopped IL is not believed
that this country is safe, and It is be-
lieved now that this step will be taken.
DIR. Jenkins said the discharge of the
patients had all the characteristics of
Asiatic cholera. aud that he knew of no
other disease which had these charac-
tcristics This statement was pretty
conclusive evidence that DR. Jenkins
believes the disease 20 be genuine ehol-
