WEATHER AND CROPS.
Grain Benefited by the Rains, But
Some Cherries Injured.

Grain Benefited by the Rains, But
Some Cherries Injured.
Director Barwick of the State Weather
Service. in his crop bulletin for the week
ending the 2Sth, summarizes as follows:
There has been deficiency OF heat and
all excess of moisture over Northern and
Central California, which has benefited
greatly all summer crops and late grain.
While all grain and hay crops through
out the State will be short, they are much
greater than would have been harvested
were it not for the late favora BILE weather
On the other hand, cherries were almost
ruined in the early fruit belts of the State
by the rain, while they were but slightly
injured in the later districts. Some fruits
were knocked off by the high winds,
also some wheat lodged and considerable
hay was damaged by the extraordinary
rains during the latter part of the week.
In Southern California the heat deti-
cheney and lack of rain has had no un-
favorable effects upon crops, only retard-
ing their maturity to later date than
usual.
The highest temperature was 96o, at the
Agricultural Experiment Station near
Tulare City. and the lowest 80 at Hydes
vile, in humboldt County.

Effects of Red Light on smaIlpox.

The daily papers report the discovery
by Dr. Niels Finsen, a Danish physician,
of favorable effect exerted by red light
on patients suffering from smallpox. DIR.
pital in which only red light is admitted
into the sickroom. 1t is alleged that the
effect OF the red light is to do away with
the dangerous and painful suppuration,
the exanthema drying up and falling oil
without leaving any sears OH the skin.
If there is truth in these claims, the effect
must evidently be due to the removal OF
the more refrangible rays, since the red
rays are present i'll full proportion in
ordinary sunlight. Scepticism in the
matter, however. is quite pardonable,
until fuller details are forthcoming.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re.
Gently purchased twelve thousand ~cres OF
land in the heart of Tehama County. for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land OF fair average quality and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 12O, 160 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
nre especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only Tor three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal ty paying the first OF i've equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of z per cent. per annu1n,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
surcd that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
ands, suitable for general farming, and es-
peeially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 TO
300 an acre. An examination OF Inc HtllU
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlenlent in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

WASHINGTON. An Uneventful Day in
 Both Branches. POpuliSt Pence Filled
 With Regret. A Motion to Close the Endless Debate Again Defeated. Bland Objects to Saving the Kear- sarge Before the Saving of the
 Country Is Completed.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--Pence's s speech yesterday, in which he struck right and left at his colleagues in the house, cut a prominent figure in today's proceed ings. Fences references to Hainer, he said, had been incorrectly reported, and rising to a question of privilege. he took occasion to apologize for the personali- ties he had indulged In, but Cooper of Indiana was not satisfied and gave him severe scoring today. After Cooper had finished his roast of Pence, closing by reminder that as the latter had large interests 1n silver mines and therefore had g direct pecuniary in- terest in the pending legislation he should be careful how he attacked the motives of other mem bers.
 Cummings, Democrat of New York, jumped to his feet and brought down laugh by shouting If in order, I sug- gest now is an opportune time for some one to apologize for his remarks with reference to the New York Democracy. :"
 Then came Bland's objection to 8 con- sideration of the bill for saving the Kearsarge wreck and his motion closed the debate on the seigniorage bill at o'clock tomorrow. This started the filibusterlng once more and Bland withdrew his motion and the house went into a committee of the whole for further debate without limit.
 Bowers. Republican of California, in support of the seigniorage bill was fol- lowed by Allen, oi Mississippi, in 6 humorous speech in favor of the bill. Other speaker were Cannon in opposi- tion and Bryan of Nebraska in favor of the bill. At the close of Bryan's speech the house at 4 40 adjourned.

A Windfall to the Territory.

The account for the maintenance of Indian prisoners at Yuma submitted by Superintendent Gates was yesterday approved by Chief Justice Baker. The account amounts to $27, ,729 and covers the period between April 19, 1885 and and December 3l, 1893. The law pro. vides that the cost of trial and the ex- pense of maintaining Indian prisoners shall be paid by the general govern ment through the department of jus tlce, but it appears that within the period above mentioned no bills for such expense have ever been presented. Now that the account has been ap- proved by the proper authority, there is no doubt that the greater portion, il not all, will be paid.

This precaution taken in connection with the almost certainty that the check would never be presented any where for payment, left the forger a minimum risk of detection.
