FRESNO, July 9-Fruit-growers here

patch addressed to Superintendent Frazier

green fruit for points north of Portland

in the nick of time, as many buyers were
about to void their contracts on the ground
that the fruit could not be shipped.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The Democrats
of the House to-day, without division of
sentiment so far as surface indications
were concerned. and amid scene of IN
paralleled enthusiasm. sent the tariff bill
back to the conference with instructions
to the cOnferrees to stand firm against the
amendments which the Senate had placed
upon the bill. A special order was brought
in from the Committee on Rules which
limited The debates on the motion 10 disa-
gree to two hours and was so worded as TO
prevent specific Instructions On the sugar
or any other particular schedule. In the
preliminary debate over the adoption Of
this resolution Representative johnson.
the radical free-trader from Ohio, pro-
tested against a course of procedure
that would give the House 10 opportunity
10 give specific instructions on sugar. The
debate which occurred on The adoption Of
the motion instrueting the House to
I'M ist upon its disagreement was prac-
tically confined to Chairman Wilson
on the one hand and ex-Speaker
Reed on the other, although sbOrs
speeches were made by General Wheeler
of alabama and ex-Speaker Grow OF
Pennsylvania before the vote was taken.
The utterances of MIR. Wilson, who was
suffering intense pain and whose head was
bound with a handkerchief that extended
to his chm, so that he was practically
biDdfolded, created most intense eDthu-
siasm among his colleagues. Every sem
tence he uttered in opposition to the con-
cessiOns which the Sen ate sought to force
was applauded to the echo, and The climax
was reached when he sent to thu clerks
desk and had read letter from President
Cleveland declaring that the future wei
fare Of the Democratic party depended
upon the adherence to the Democratic
principles upon which the House bill was
framed.
Mr.. Reeds reply also met with uproari-
Gus applause from his political colleagues.
The motion to disagree was adopted with
out division and the Speaker appointed the
old conferr ees.
Chairman Wilson left as soon as the
tariff debate closed for his home in West
Virginia. The confer rees do not expect to
resume their session until u ext Monday or
Tuesday.
The letter written by President Cleve-
land to Mr.. Wilson and read in the House
was as follows

BRANDY IN BOND.
Distillers Are on the
Anxious Seat.
A Large Quantity in Government
Warehouses on Which the Tax
May Be Increased.

The distllers Of California have followed the
course OF legislation at Washington with
anxious eyes, for upon their backs the burden
of taxation removed from other shoulders will
be borne.
The internal revenue tax on distilled liquor
has been Increased from 90 cents to 81 10 a
gallon. The increase will not seriously affect
the distilers in The future, as they will be able
TO charge higher prices for the product OF their
still, but they have been sorely worried about
the liquor in the Government warehouses, of
which there is at present 91S,37 gallons. This
great quantity of liquor Is divided among the
warehouses in the district as follows: Ware
house l, 10000 gallons; warehouse 2, II, 066
gallons; warehouse 3, 22519 gallons; ware
house l. A. 1872 gallons; warehouse 3, 80, 638
gallons; warehouse 6, 369,3lS gallons; ware
house z, 1921 gallons; aud warehouse 8,
195.O49.
Inc distlers waited upon Collector Welburn
several weeks ago and asked him how this
liquor would be taxed; whether the old or the
new rate would be charged. Welburn was un-
able TO answer the question and referred the
matter to the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. at Washington. The reply came yesterday
and was as follows:
WASHINGTON. D. c. July IL, 1894.
O.. II WeLblTn ESQ.-SIR: Instruct persons in
curing concerning effect of expected legislation

drawn from warehouse until all requirements of

and stamping, are fulfilled. ana spirits remaining
in warehouses after new rate takes effect will do

impose upon such spirits. Respectfully yours.

this unseemly dudishness must cease.

out to search the camp for men who had

such, belonging to Company c, was found

slumber is supposed to fall upon all but

A. NJ, breakfast is served at 6, lunch at ~

no means all cakes and ale, however. The
honrs of duty vary from six to twelve
hours, and at the beginning many of the
militiamen did twenty hours duty uncom-
plainingly The touch of excitement and
of stern reality that came along with the
rough routine of the impromptu camp gave
life there a charm that the more comfort
able outings at Santa Cruz had never
possessed.
At present every one seems to have fallen
into the military routine. The boys are
not thirsting for strikers gore, but they
are ready to obey orders promptly should
any emergency arise. The constant round
of duty does not leave them very much
spare time on their hands. Train duty is
the most appreciated, as it makes break
in the monotony of the iron-bound camp
existence. Service on the Berkeley local,
however, Is said to have become "chest-
nut" as it does not offer an extended
variety of scene. The Oakland locals are
not carrying guard.

The Light Battery of the Second Regi-
ment. whose tents come next to those of
the Naval Battalion, has a reputation for
recklessness. Not moral recklessness,
however. but physical recklessness. IL is
said indeed that the artillery would be the
very dogs of war let loose. If they once got
the chance to fly at national enemy.
Even In time of peace. before the strike
was thought of. they secured the country
as if broken limbs or necks were matter

The staff headquarters are situated be-
hind the tents of the Light Battery, and
proudly fly the stars and stripes. To the
east are the ambulance tents, distinguish
able by the red-crOss flag, and the Pullman
car which forms the officers quarters is
close by. All the cooking is done under
sheds. and meals are taken in the open air
out of tin utensils. The rough deal tables
are covered with white oiIcloth and the
food is of a first-class description. At first
the ratons were poor and somewhat in
sufficient. but all that is changed now.
The engines and ashes that encircle two
sides of the camp make perfect cleanliness
an impossible virtue. Day by day the
boys feel themselves growing grimier and
more unsborn.
