COOK EXCURSION PARTY.

One of the Members says it Was Mis-
managed in Every Particular.
CLEVELAND, Sept q. = Ex-Mayor
Gardner. who was a member of the Cook
Greenland excursion party, returned to-
day. He says the affair was mismanaced
in every particular by DIR. Cook, The
Miranda had only arrived in New York
harbor with load of coffee from South
America three days before she sailed for
Greenland, and was entirely unfit to
make the trip. The Captain protested
vigorously against taking the vessel
north. but to no purpose.
Continuing, Mr.. Gardner charged DR..
Cook with sending ont alluring circulars
wnen getting up the party, which proved
TO he most deceiving, and that the excur-
sion was simply run for pecuniary bene-
tit TO the promoter. Twice" said MIR
Gardner, I'VE bought provisions for our
selves, and, as everyone knows, our trip
was to include everything. Before the
transfer OF the passengers from the Mi
randa to the Rigel, he told each man that
absolutely nothing but what was neces-
Sary III the way of clothing would be al
lowed on the schooner, and he had Sc
cretly conveyed to the Rigel his own
property, including a stock of liquors
and cigars, which he sold TO the passen-
gers on the trip at ridiculously high
prices. Cooks sole idea from beginning
to end was profit. When we reached a
port he insisted on being the first man
off the boat, SO he could buy everything
OF value from the natives. He bartered
aud haggled and made money. and that
is all he did do. l don't believe that
Professor Wright ever said the crew of
the Miranda was drunk most of the time

more than / do Captain Farrell, and his
men were, most OF them, perfect in their

The entire story as related by Mr..

being a merchant for as large a profit as
possible and that in his greed for money

WHISKY TRUST.

The Eastern Distributing Company Has
Ir Where 1t Can Squeeze It.
PEORIA Ill.), Sept. 2l.-Just how seri-
ious is the crisis which confronts the
Whisky Trust may be imagined from the
fact that the directors were summoned by
wire to a special meeting to-day, although
the regular meeting would have been
held Tuesday. The officials are very
secretive as to what is being done. Pres
ident Greenhut says be knows of nothing
that would require the immediate disso-
luton of the company. 1t is believed the
Eastern Distributing Company has the
trust where it can squeeze it and is max
ing the most of its opportunity. 1t is al

a cloak for its efforts to secure further
concessions from the trust in its hour of

PECULIAR FRAUD.
Case Passed Upon by the Interior De-
partment.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.-The Interior
Department has just passed on case in
which a peculiar fraud is being practiced.
Some time ago resident of Tennessee
wrote to the Attorney-Genera stating
that last May he saw an advertisement in
a Chicago paper offering for sale l60 acres
of land in sGovernor County, kas. The
real estate agent lived at Lathrop. Mo-.
and through him the land was purchased
by the man from Tennessee. 1t was then
found that the Government owned the
land, although the Lathrop agent had
furnished complete deed and abstract of
title. Since then the same tract has been
advertised by the same agent.
It is held by the Interior Department
that as the rights of the Government are
in no way affected, there is nothing for
the Interior Department to do in the
premises. 1t is suggested, however. that
the attention of the proper authorities
will be called TO the fraud, with view of
saving innocent parties who do not take
the trouble 10 make thorough investi-

ENGLISH FRUIT-GRowING
Question Stirred Up by tho Invasion
of California Products.

Question Stirred Up by tho Invasion
of California Products.
LONDON, Sept. 2I.-The controversy
upon the question of English fruit is
growing largely. 1t was stirred up by
the recent invasion Of the California
fruits and Mr.. Gladstone's recommends
ton TO small British farmers to give up
growing wheat and take to fruit growing.
In this connection Richard ID. Black
more, the novelist, who for years has
been large fruit-grower upon his model
farms In Surrey, has written letter to
tie Times, in which he says it is i'm
possible at the present wholesale prices
OF English fruit To make fair profit. He
adds that the most magnificent grapes
bring shillings pound on an aver
age, and that fine peaches bring >
shlllings per dozen. He quotes plums at
l shilling to shillings per sieve, and
pears at IS 6d to IS 9d per bushel, and
they are scarcely salable at any price.
Apples alone, says Mr.. Blackmore,
would give a fair return if the British
farmers only had them. In the face of
these facts, which become more adverse
every year, Mr.. Black more expresses the
opinion that it would be a cruel decep-
ton to talk of profitable fruit-growing in
England. Foreign competition is in
creasing and must be expected to in
crease. Covent Garden prefers the finest
foreign fruit TO home grown fruit, and
we suppose it follows the public taste.
