part Gf The State, was held to-day by the
executive board of the Southern California
Fruit Exchange. a question that is of
the utmost Importance to the growers is
its proposition to re-establish the fruit
auction at San Francisco.

has developed In the northern metropolis

fruit crop at auction would be most salts
factory to all concerned, both growers and
buyers. Certain OF the commission-houses
object, however. not, it seems, because
either growers or buyers are particularly
injured, but because, as they allege, it de-
moraliZes the market. They contend that
the growers as we'll as the buyers were in

heavy. and as the lines commenced part

MADE IN STILL WATER
Against the Wishes of the
Contractor.

Still She Was Able to Show That
She Will Be Very Speedy
Ship of War.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE official trial
of the United States battleshlp Maine.
which took place to-day on Long Island
SounG, promises good results, as the ship
passed through it very creditably. n. F.
Palmer Jr,, representing the contractors,
was very anxious to have the trial take
place out at sea in deep water, as the
Sound IL too shallow, he said, for a fair
:est, and to-day's run shaved this very
plainly, as she banked the water on each
side of her instead of its going under
meath.
AS soon as the Names anchor was
hosted she was sent along at good rate
Of speed from the entrance of New Lon
don harbor until abreast of Watch Hill,
Com. Here she was turned about and
headed toward the Sound. at 1:30
o'clock everything was in readiness Tor
the trial to begin and moderats forced
draught was put On. The ship was head
ing straight into Northwestern and the
wind was also against her She went
along at ffteen-knot gait and there was
scarcely any vibration observed on board,
Notwithstanding the velocity with which
her machinery was being driven.

lightshp', distance of 1115 miles, her
time was 46 minutes. When the first of
the ten buoys which marked the 25-mile
trial course was reached close watch was
kept and the Maine traversed the distance
In hour and 81 minutes. an average of
1886 knots an hour. Taking into con-
sderation the adverse winds and tide this
is as good as II knotS, and the general YER
dict is that she will be an 1S-knot boat
The force Of the wind and the velocity
OF the ship caused the spray TO wash over
her from bow to stern. and frequently it
went over the bridge and pilot-house.
Captain Bunce expressed his entire salts
faction with the days work and so did all
the officers. The results of to-day's obser-
vatlons will not be known for three or
four days. as good deal of figuring will
be necessary before a report can be made.

BRYAN AND THURSTON
Talk on Silver and the Pacific
Railroads.
The Congressman Became Personal,
Denouncing His Opponent for
Past Political Acts.

OMAHA, Oct IA special to the Bee
from Lincoln. Nebr., says: The first of
the two joint debates on political issues
between Hon. w. j. Bryan and Hon. j.
M. Thurston occurred here this afternoon.
1t is estimated that 7C00 people were in
Agricultural Hall during the speaking
The whole State was represented and
many from other States were present.
The fact that both speakers are avowed
candidates for the United States Senate
added to the interest of the occasion. The
reception given to the principal figures of
the afternoon was hearty and enthusi-
astc.
c. j. Smythe of Omaha aud John P.
Maui of Lincoln took turns in presiding.
AS Mr.. Bryan was to open the debate,
Mr. Smythe made The opening statement
He stated the conditions of the debate and
evoked respectful attention to both 81 eak-
ers. Then he introduced Congressman
Bryan, who was greeted with cheers. The
terms of the debate con fined the speakers
TO no particular topic. Bryan touched
chiefly Oh silver, tie income tax ard the
Pacific railroad indebtedness The in
come tax was fair. he said, and he was
satisfied that the future would viDdicate
his Judgment. AS to the Pacific rairo ads,
if he were elected to the Senate be pre-
posed to do his best to have the Govern
ment mortgage foreelosed. 1t was on the
silver question that he was most elo-
quent. He was sure that the white metal
would be victorious eventually. He
point d to the gains it bad recently made
in all parts of the country as vndication
of his position. Mr.. Bryan WAS cbeered
vociferously at the conclusion of his re-
marks.
Mr.. Thurston received a great ovation.
He is a graceful speaker and in a measure
has an advantage over his able opponent.
His speech was more Of a general nature
than that of Bryan. He confessed to be
at a disadvantage in the estimation OF
some in discussing the Pacific railroads,
since he was the attorney of The leading
company. Still, he was confident that it
was not to the advantage of the people of
the whole country TO have the Govern
| ment foreclose its second mortgage, since
it must then pay the enormous first mort
gage indebtedness. Replying to Mr..
Bryan's income tax views he was brief
and deprecated the measure. believing il
could not endure. On silver the speaker
| became brilliant After declaring. to the
surprise of some, that he favored the free
| coinage of the American production. he
pictured the enormous loads of foreign
white metal that would be dumped into
this coun Try in the event Of free coinage,
and in closing declared the idea perfectly
preposterOus.
In Mr.. Bryan's closing reply he became
personal and denounced Thurston for his
political acts of the past. They speak al

any doubt that the meeting of the Prussian

Caprivi is not prepared to undertake the
responsibility Of introducing repressive
measures entailing electoral struggles and
possibly of constitutional conflict
The Hamburger Nachrichten publishes
IN article. evidently inspired by Prince
Bismarck, promising that the Prussan
Council advocates repressive measures,
and arguing that the Chancellor ought
either to accept these measures or resign.
