THE ANAHEIM DISEASE.

A Dreaded Vine Pest Said to Be Again
Appearing.
A report has come to the viticultural
commission that the dreaded Anaheim

several years since it made Its appear
ance, and then it was at first sup
posed to be bad case OF sunburn. The
leaves of the vines turned yellow, and
then grew brown and withered. The
dead leaves dropped off, the half-formed

ragged practically unchecked. The vines
would bud out, grow luxuriantly until
midsummer, and then in a few weeks
they would droop and die. That ia all
that is known OF it to this day, and for
want OF q better name they called it the
Anaheim disease.
A Frenchman named Viala said re-
Gently that the disease was something
analogous to the cabbage blight OF Eu.
rope, a kind of fungoid growth which 10
not found here. but this report was never
verified.
The report ia causing much uneasiness
among the vineyardists in Los Angeles
county, for the disease spreads almost as
rapidly as phylloxera, and it kills the
vines even more quickly than that pest.
The result of Mr.. Wstmore's investiga-
tions will therefore be watched with the
keenest interest.
Mr.. Wetmore has another mission in
his trip south. He will investigate the
phylloxera patch discovered in Orange
county last March by Winfield Scott,
secretary OF the viticultural commission.
Stringent means were taken to stamp
out and prevent the spread of the pest,
and Mr.. Wetmore will see to what de-
gree of success they have arrived.

trouble with Chile arose Mr.. Blaine's
first thought was for the safety OF San
Francisco and the Pacific coast. 1t had
long been Mr.. Bleine's wish during his
latter years to visit this section.
Referring to the present condition OF
the country General Clarkson said that
the cause of ell the shutting down OF
factories, closing of mines, panics in
banks and general Generalization OF
trade was due to uncertain knowl-
edge aa to what action the Democrats
would take towards the tariff and other
vital issues.
The only way to relieve the present
Generalization was toretufn the Repub-
lican party to power In 1896, and good
move towards this would be for Califor-
mans to vote together and send a solid
Republican delegation to congress next
year. The speaker thought that con-
servative Democrats would also vote
with the Republicans in restoring the
protective tariff and relieving the pres
ent poor condition OF the country.
At the conclusion of General Clark
sons remarks he was heartily applauded,
and, upon motion of DR.. MACEDONIAN, the
audience arose and gave him, three
cheers.
Judge Owens then called upon Mr..
James McLachlan, ss one of the young
Republicans, to speak. Mr.. McLachlan
delivered few remarks scoring the
Democratic and extolling the Republican
party.
Mr.. J. A. Donnell was called for as
one Of the'old Republicans. He spoke
for few minutes.
A short fowerv talk by Major Isaac
'Trumbo of San Francisco followed, and
General Olarkson's party closed the
speech making of the evening. The
meeting then resolved itself into an in
formal gathering, the various gentle.
men present being introduced to Gen.
eral Clarkson. Refreshments were also
served. sss
Today DR.. Cochran and q number of
invited friends will escort the party over
Prof. Lowe's mountain railroad to Hotel

He Shows Not Very Happy Condition

All In His Power to Mako

Mr.. Otto Brodtbeek, receiver OF The
City bank, filed his preliminary report
late last evening. 1t is accompanied by
schedules giving all details as to each
item OF assets and liabilities. The re-
port is not intended as an appraisment
of the assets, but in all cases the receiver
has indicated the value of the securities
where his Information justifies it. The
report also contains list OF property
which has been conveyed to the receiver
by Mr.. Childress and others connected
with the bank as additional security.
The total assets are placed at $685.
524 2l of which amount sl72. 2.1ll.14 are
clsssed as worthless or doubtful. To
secure this last amount the property
conveyed to the receiver may realize in
two or three years time $4,000. The
remainder Of the assets, classed as good
or not classed, amounts to $9l, ,413.
1t iB evident that under the most fa-
vorable circumstances nothing more
than claims of depositors can be paid,
and that result will depend largely upon

and most OF those from abr ad whose
connection with the Fair has necessi-
lated any relations with Mrs. Palmer.
In Chicago every one knows Miss
Hayes, and he newspaper men go to
her for whatever they want from Mrs.
Palmer. Except personal friends Miss
Hayes SEES most of Mrs. Palmer's
callers, and decides whether the
business can be transacted with

acts as a buffer between swarms of
people and tire lady president, and be-
