Holding Their Own Wheat and Import

ing From Oregon.
SAN FRANCIsCo, December Is With
nearly every warehouse in the State filled
with wheat California is importing its
breadstufis in a large part from Oregon,
says morning paper. Wheat and flour
are coming in by the shipload and yes
sells are leaving San Francisco ballast
laden to return from the north with
wheat. California farmers and specuIa-
tors are holding their grain, while those
of Oregon and Washington seem as anx-
ious to get rid of it. June last 1874, 35l tons
of wheat OF the crop of 1898 were carried
over. Exports from California to De-
cember l are less than that amount.
There have been received from Oregon
during that period between 3OO00 and
/ so 600 tons, which affects local con-
sumption and wheat used for seeding.
| This leaves the crop of 1894 practically
intact Rains for the coming crop have

ember gave the earth thorough drench-
/ ing, and enabled the farmers to seed a
large area to wheat. The rains which

portion of the season, will insure an
abundant harvest. With good Euro

hensive that freights may 90 to 60 shil-

From one to four vessels a week have
been leaving here for the Columbia river
and Sound ports. There is a likelihood
! that prior 10 the first Monday in March,
when the tax gatherer comes around,
! the holders of wheat will seek to dis
pose of it, but with the limited ton
mage here and to arrive and the immense
quantity of wheat on storage, this may
not prove an easy task.

DEPORTATION OF ANARCHISTS


Proposed Amendments to the Bill In
trOduced by senator Hill.
WAsmNGToN, December 1.-THE bill
to provide for the exclusion and deporta-
ton of alien anarchists, which was in
troduced in the Senate by Hill at the
last session, and which passed that body
and is now on the calendar of the House,
was the subject of consideration to-day
by the House Judiciary Committee.
After some discussion two amendments
to the bill were agreed upon. One is
that the power OF deportation shall be
confined to United States Courts and
only conferred upon State Courts where
the laws of the State provide for such
action. The other amendment strikes
out section 5, which provides for the
appointment of number OF Emigra-
ton Commissioners at an annual salary
of 81, 800, and requires that their duties
shall be performed by the United States
Consuls under regulations prepared by
the Secretary of State and the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury and approved by
the President,

The Ministers win Act.

SAN Francisco, December 18.-The
clergymen of the city are arranging for
organization of a movement in this city
similar to the Lexow plan for the inn
provement OF municipal morals. Rev.
J. Cumming Smith, pastor of Trinity
PRESBYTERIAN Church, who has had ver-
bal and written communication with DR..
Parkhurst, took the initiative. A union
movement has been inaugurated by the
local organizations OF the Presbyterian,
Methodist and Baptist ministers to take
concerted action. If the California Leg
islature does not appoint an official puri-
tication committee, the ministers will
conduct the investigation themselves,
with the aid of citizens generally.

tons where fists are brought into con-
tact with face and body, even amateur
boxing bouts at the swell clubhouse OF
the Chicago Association, have been
strictly prohibited by special order of
the Police Superintendent, who is backed
by Mayor Hopkins. The order may even
be applied to the theatrical perform
ances of the Corbett and Fitzsimmons
order. The New Orleans tragedy has
served to make the authorities more de-
termined than ever to suppress boxing.

the rear of a saloon last night when the
police entered at the end of the eighth
round and arrested everybody present,
The fight was a bloody and brutal slug

New YORK, December l7.-Miss Mary
Proctor has received numerous commu-
nications lately with regard to a pro-
posed memorial observatory to be erected
to the memory of her father, the late
Prof. Richard Proctor, astronomer in

ating the kind sentiment OF her CORE
spondents, she wishes to say that year
or so after her fathers death her step
mother suggested that such a memorial
might be erected, but the idea has since
fallen through. Miss Proctor wishes to
say further that she feels that this coun-
try has already greatly honored her ia
theirs memory in the beautiful monu-
ment erected over his grave in Green

Count Won koenitz's inquiry in the
Reichstag to-day Freiherr Won Marschal-
Secretary of the Foreign Office, said that
the sugar tariff was OF great Importance,
as it infringeG upon the most favored
nation " clause. The increase of the
American tariff on sugar had affected
Germany more than any other country,
and it ought to be abolished. He denied
that Germany conceded 1.-The most ia
Vored nation " treatment to the States
without receiving anything in return.
He was bound to admit. he said, that
Germany had arrived at a complete
understanding with the United States
government, and that President Cleve-
land had fulfilled the promise to recon-
mend to Congress the abrogation of one
tenth of cent ditierential in the sugar
tax. The final solution of the difficulty
rested with the United States Congress.
He urged that care be taken to avoid
placing a difficulty in the way OF those
trying to prevent the violation of treat
les, and he added:
Having for our own part Loyalty OBJ
served the treaty of 1928, we are entitled
to expect similar treatment"

Case i'm the y. VI. G. 4.
WASHINGTON, March IA letter has
been received at the immigration bureau,
treasury department, from the inspector
at Buffalo, y. Y, asking for n ruling as
to whether two Canadian base ball play
ers recently engaged to play in this
country by the Buffalo club come within
the prohibitions of the alien contract labor
law. Until Superintendent Stumps' return
to the city no action will he tallin. The
Buffalo club, it is said. contends that base
ball is recognized profession and that as
such the players under the law are EXEMPT.
Another case which is likely to attract
some attention is that of Charles Temple
ton, who sailed for this country from Iiy-
erpuol on the ith inst, under contract, it
is believed, to serve the Young Mems
Christian association at Des Moiues. Ia,
as its assistant secretary. The New York

cept Mr.. Templeton on his arrival and
make a thorough examination of his case.
Without committing themselves in the
matter some of the treasury officials are
of the opinion that Mr. Templetou Games
within the terms and intent of the law.

There was a general meeting of delegates
at the Arcade yesterday afternoon, open to

tors, American Railway union, Brother
hood of Railway Brakemen, and Order
OF Railway Trainmen met Mr.. Clark
IN his private Office i'll the Union Pacific
headquarters building.
Just To Ascertain Where They Are.
This was "a preliminary meeting, and
Clark was asked just what he expected
oil the men, and the men ascertained as
nearly rs possible just what may be eX-
pected of Mr.. Clark. There are some mat
tiers involved in the proposed change of
the schedules that are common in their
| effects on all branches of the service, and
those can probably be best settled when
all are present and participate in the dis
cussions. There are Others that are peculiar
to some branch of the service and for all to
take part in these deliberations would
throw no light upon the matters in con
troversy and might possibly complicate
them. Delegates have been arriving on
every incoming Union Pacific train and
this noon the delegation was complete.
