THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
Rendy to Report-s35,OOO Topped on of
the Appropriation Bill-MacCorklo's APP

Rendy to Report-G35,OOO Topped on of
tho Appropriation Bill acC0rklo's Ap.
pointmonts.
Specia! Dispatch 10 The Integigaccr
CRARLEsToS, w. VA, March 5.-Tho
conference committee completed its
labors at late hour last night and will
report tomorrow.
The aggregate reductions made in the
bill as originally reported from the
house reach about $4,000. OF this
$4,000 is taken from the militia appro-
priation. The Worlds Fair appropria-
ton stands, and little If any change was
made in the appropriations for normal
schools. 1t is believed the "kickers" in
tho house have quoted down and are
willing to pass tho bill and adjourn,
in which case the session will probably
end Tuesday night. However, tho bill
will meet with decided opposition from
the Republican side Of tho house, and
it cannot be passed without Republican
votes, unless some OF tho members who
have gone home return.
The bill does not meet with the APP
probation OF the Republican members,
and it Is claimed the committee ex-
Ceeded its authority by making amend
ments Of Its own instead OF combining
Itself to considering those made by the
two houses.
The feeling is that the Democrats,
having succeeded in squandering nearly
$4,000 OF tine peoples money by their
Unnecessary delay and revolutionary
action in regard to the governors veto,
should now get themselves out Of the
hole ii they can without Republican as
sistanCe.
Governor MacCorkle has not yet made
his appointments public, but it is settled
that Hon. W. L. Chiffon will be secre.
tary OF state. james A. Holly, of Lin
coin county, will be given the adjutant
generalship, and Gen. L. l.. Wood is
spoken OF as the probability for state
librarian. John B. White, OF the secre-
tary of states Office, will be the COVER
nor's private secretary. j. w. Ewing,
who held that position under Governor
Fleming, will return to Wheeling next
week and resume the study OF law.
Tho entire fore in the secretary OF
states office will BIO changed. Fred II.
Scott, OF this city, will DO one Of the
clerical force and tho other changes arc
not yet known. Blaine W. Taylor, tho
present chief clerk, will return to his
homo in Randolph in few daya, and
Grif /. Smith is looking out for posi-
ton in Washington.

Bile men and women, and they will stand
for hours to get glimpse oil the Presl,
don't, but all this is merely by way OF
killing time during the day. The real
anxiety and hope OF most OF them IL to
be at the dance at night.
The pension building ia admirably
suited Tor spectacular displays OF this
kind. 1t surrounds great hollow
square, and this square becomes the
ballroom. Graceful arches, now hidden
with flowers and greenery, rise to the
support Of galleries that mark the upper
floor OF the building. This great court
lends itself admirably to the most
artistic decoration, and never has 1t
been so beautifully draped, festooned
and lighted as it was. 1t is like the
grand portal OF fairyland, with its vision
OF beautiful women, its glare OF electric
devices, its gorgeous musings OF color,
its wealth OF blossoms and OF leaves.
A ball conducted upon 6,OOO feet oil
floor space is no simple thing to man
age, and tho dancing is ordered in n pc
culiar way, The great floor is marked
of in sections. Each section has q
manager. These managers are under a
chief director.
10 illustrate briefly the simple but
perfect system he has devised, let us
imagine a quadrille to be in order. The
manager Of each section arranges the
sets OF dancers in the space under their
supervision, Whenever a space Is
filled its manager telegraphs q signal to
Mr. Hay. When all the divisions have
their quota of dancers made up, and all
have so notified the chief director, he
flashes a signal to the Marine Band, the
music bursts upon the air, and the null
titudH begins its merry task OF keeping
rythm with the melody.
The iearfully inolement weather OF
the day undoubtedly contributed to the
greater briiiiance Of the inaugural ball.
The scene at the pension Office was one
which, OF itself, would require more
space than is allotted tho entire spec
tacle OF the day.

MARKETS AND TRANSPORTATION
An Important Paper for Cali
fOrnia Fruit Growers.
How the Market for Products Can Be
Largely Extended.
Prospects OF Moro Rapidly Expediting
Fruit = Cities which Do Not
at Present Receive Any
6hipm ents.

At the October meeting Of the State
Horticultural society, held at San Jose,
President Lelong was authorized to
name committee to report upon three
propositions, viz: Q) AS to the possi-
bility and practicability of putting Cali
forria fresh deciduous fruits into new
markets; (2) AS to shortening the time
of transit and reducing the expense; |;
(3) As to what proportion OF gross re-
ceipts from sales in the east go to the
producer. Complying with this instruc-
tion, Mr.. Lelong named Mr.. Alfred Hol-
man, editor of the Rural Press, Mr.. b.
N. Rowley and Mr.. John Isaac as suck
committee. Mr.. Lelong aided the COM
mittee by putting at their disposal every
facility available in the Office of the state
board OF horticulture; and OF this aid
the committee made the fullest use, and
to it they are indebted for much that is
reflected in their report.
The report was called for on the OPEN
ing day of the session OF the fruit grow
ers' convention in this city, but some
correspondence essential to its complete
ness did not arrive until Wednesday
evening, and it was not until then that
it was delivered. Tho full report, as
read by Mr.. Holman, chairman of the
committee, was ss follows:
GENTLEMEN: Your committee ap-
pointed at San Jose October n, 1893.
to investigate.
Ist. On the prospects OF finding a
market in large cities and sections not
yet reached by growers and associa.
tione;
I'd. On the prospect of securing
quicker time for fruit shipments;
Sd. To report on cost of picking,
packing, handling and transporting
fresh deciduous fruit in carload lots,
with the view of ascertaining the pro-
portion received by growers from gross
sales of shipments to the eaotern mar
kets, beg leave to report:
First. From information received
from the railroad companies and other
sources we find that there we're ehipped.
for the fruit season of 1898, up to and in
cluding the month OF October, from Sac
ramento. 4372 cars, consigned to the fol.
lowing points; this statement covers
shipments from Sacramento only. The
greater number of the cars contained
upwards of "a, 900 pounds OF fruits:
Fresh fruit shipments from Sacra-
mento, June to and including October,

To Cincinnati from 81. 81 the lowest, to 81 o.
To 81. Louis from $l.53 the lowest, to $2. 2.0l.
$2.61.
when the character OF the service Ia
taken into consideration, there is no
comparison between our rates and those
at the east. l am told it frequently takes
lenger to get fruit from Florida to
Chicago and points in the northwest
than from this coast to the same points.
Notwithstanding the fact that we have
to overcome several ranges of noun
tains.
TO correctly understand the situation
and the rates charged, it must be re-
membered that a large portion of the
deciduous fruit is now transported in
refrigerator cars.
"The minimum weight OF fruit in
these cars is $4,000 pounds. the rate on
which to Chicago being 81 rs from San
Jose. the cost would be $500 per carload
OF 81, 900 pounds. For the service west
OF Ogden the amount received by the
Southern Pacific company 10 $l40.76.
The weight of an ordinary fruit
Excessive weight of refrigerator car. I6, 900 ib.
Excessive weighl of refrigerator car
weigat OF ics east bound ............ 5000 lbs.
Weight OF fruit. 600 lbs.
IotAl weight. ......................o4 .o4,VOO IDS.
"Dividing this total weight (64,000
lbs.) by the revenue west of Ogden,
$140.76, gives % cents per 100 pounds,
or an average for $40 miles between San
jose and Ogden of, in round figures,
one-half a cent per ton per mile"
FIom railroad standpoint, the only
apparent hope for lower freight rates
lies in the replacement OF the present
cumbrous system of refrigeration with
some appliance equally effective and of
less weight.
CHARGES OF PACKING, CARRYING, ETC.
In regard to the third matter under
investigation, your committee addressed
a number of letters to prominent fruit
growers and shippers, asking for in
formation that would form a basis Tor
estimating the cost Of picking, wrapping,
boxing, hauling and placing on board
the car and transporting to the east the
various kinds of fruit. To these letters
several replies have been received. and
to their authors your committee is in
debted for the following facts and
figures. We find that the several
charges above enumerated average for
each package AZ fOllOWs:
