ONTARIO, Jan. 10.-A careful examina
ton of the orange and lemon groves of
Ontario and Cucamonga has been made
by officers of the Orange-growers' and the
Lemon-growers' Exchanges. They reach
the conclusion that the damage from the
freeze of last week is less than feared.
North of the Santa Fe but small per
cent. of the fruit is injured, the thermom
eter there not going below 2S0 to 30'.
Lower down the damage is greater. TAX
ing the entire territory the damage on
nayels will probably not exceed 8 to 10
per cent. of the crop. Late varieties suf-
fered perhaps 10 per cent, or more of DAM
age. The loss on lemons will reach 25
per cent. Both associations propose to
exercise great care to exclude all frosted
fruit from the market, so as to maintain
the reputation OF the locality.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Secretary Car
Isle proposed the issue ofbonds to the Sem
ate Committee on Finance this afternoon.
Voorhees,. Harris. Jones of Arkansas,
Vest, Sherman, Allison and Jones of
Nevada were present. Secretary Carlisle
said he wanted authority TO issue bonds.
He thinks the issue of bonds the best
way to meet the apparently rapidly
approaching crisis in the treasury. The
Secretary stated that, instead of increas-
ing, the Government receipts had con-
tinued to diminish until there was COM
ing to be monthly gap of about ten
millions between the receipts and ex
penditures. Therefore he favored the
issue of 3-per-cent. bonds, running three,
four or five years. The committee dis
persed without action, but enough was
developed to show that it will be very
difficult to agree upon bill.
