SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 16.-The FIX.
aDiner tomorrow will say that lawyers
who are in opposition to the Southern
Pacific are seriously asking if Attorney
Herrin did not i'm pose upon Judge Nc
kenna when he induced him to sign an
order prohibiting the board of railroad
commissioners from passing any order
reducing the freight rates OF the South
err Pacific company in force previous to
September 18th. Some of them claim
that Mr.. Herrin took advantage OF the
confidence the court had in him and
started Judge McKenna out in the face
of well-esta alished precedent. A similar
mistake of a circuit court, they claim,
was made in the Texas case of Regain ct
al. VS.. Farmers Loan and Trust com pany
ct al, upon which Mr.. Herrin hangs hi,
bill in equity and was righted by the su-
preme court of the United States, which
declared the order valid.
In the Texas case the federal supreme
court decided that the railroad committee
of Texas was a constitutional body and
that 1t had the right to regulate rates
and fares. The only. question was as to
the reasonableness of the reduction. In
that case the commission was enjoined
from carrying into effect a schedule of
rates actually made. The request was
also made that the commission be en-
Joined from making any further orders.
This request the supreme court denied.
The critics of Mr.. Herrin say that sew.
eral points urged by the Southern Pacific
company were settled by the Texas case
and settled in way affording cold COM
fort to his powerful client.

WIdney's position as president Of the

his resignation he is putting all Ills time
as well as his propertyiinto beginning

He has noticed in this, and all other
large cities, the tendencies of the chu, ches
to spread outward, away from tie bust
ness cenfers. The church is an organiZa-
tion of families, and as the latter move
to the outskirts of the city, the church
must follow. With the exception of the
cathedral there are no religious denomn in
atoms in the heart of the town. 1t is his
idea to begin at once a mission work on
line that connects business on the one
side ana the poor with their tenements
and lodging houses on the other. To
send out workers from the mission to the
associations OF the poor and sick in the

The CALIFORNIA VINTAGE
Grape Crop Light but of High
Quality
DRY WINE OUTPUT SHORT
A Sharp Advance In Prices Paid for
Grapes
But q Small Amount of Wine Remains In
Producers Hands and PriceF
VIII Be Higher


SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 1G. The vim
tage of 1895 is practically over and the
quantity and quality of California wine
this season are no longer matters OF con-
lecture. The crop was light, but the
quality of the prodnct is the best for
many years. The falling off has been
principally in the dry varieties. AS
for the sweet there is enough and to
spare. Both kinds, however, are far su-
perior as to body and taste. 1t is stated
at the headquarters of the California Wine
Makers corporation that tie output of
dry wines is rs per cent of last year
production, or 5000, 900 gallons. This
shortage is due to the fact that the red
grapes, notably the Zinfandel, set light
early in the seaaon, and when they at
tanned full size they were badly affected
by the heavy September rain which
opened the berries, and being followed
by intenfe heat, the juics was in meas
uTe dried up. Within week after the
lnopportune downpour the sugar in the
grape mounted from is and 20 co 80 and
~ per cent, which meant reduction OF
one-third in the iuics. From these con
ditions much difficulty was experienced
4
were the rule rather than the exception.
However. they have been mostly worked
over and out by experienced wine makers
and the iesIlt has been the production Of
wines Of extraordinary strength, color
and vinosity.
The production of white wine, which
was largely in excess last season. was
greatly reduced this vintage. Much OF it
went on to the red pomace. Still the
crop ofswhite grapes was larger in pro-
portion to the acreage than the red vari-
cites. OF the total output OF dry wines,
Z, 200, 600 gallons are red and 500, 000 are
white. But little brandy Is being made,
and there is said to be no excess OF sher-
~ material.
:; There was a sharp advance in the price
paid for grapes over that of last year,
which was from Sc to $40 Ier ton. This
vintage the prices paid IN Sonoma varied
from $40 to $14, in Napa from SD to ST.,
in Santa Clara from ST. to $751; in the
Livermore valley they were $l4, and in
Contra Costa county SIG ton.
Up to the first of this month over s.
900. 600 m ore gallons of dry VINE had been
moved to San Francisco from the interior
than there we're last year up to the same
date. This has gone.to the large dealers,
principally the California Wine associs-
ton and Lachman & Jacoby, who are now
we'll stocked. The amount remaining in
the producers hands is, however, small,
and as the Winemakers' Corporation has
a contract with the California Association
to furnish still more wine, the demand
promises to equal, If not exceed, the
supply. This will mean higher prices.
What they Will be will depend on the fig
ures set when it comes to arbitrate the
matter between the big sellers and the
large buyer the California Wmemakers'
Corporation and the California Wine AS

Northern Pacific Troubles

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 16.-In the
United States circuit court of appeals to-
day the suit of the Farmers Loan and
Trus. company of New York ag ainst the
receivers of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company was on trial. Ex-
Senator Dolph of Oregon appeared for
the Trust company and Senator Thurston
OF Nebraska appeared for the railroad.
The suit, which involves a number of
issues, grew out of an action for the fore
closure OF mortgage brought by the
Loan Company against the Oregon Rail-
way ana Navigation company. When the
suit was commenced the latter COMPANY
was In the hands of receivers of the
Union Pacific. Later, however, separate
receiver was appointed for the Naviga-
ton company. The question at issue
arose out of the appointment. The Loan
and Trust company contends that the
claims against the receivers of the Union
Pacific system connected with the operat-
ing OF the Oregon Railway and Nayiga-
tons properties for labor and material
furnished the receives several months
prior to the appointment of separate
receiver should be paid by the Union
Pacific receivers, or by the separate re-
celves from revenue collected after his ap-
pointment. The order of court appointing
the receiver required him to pay these
claims. This decree Senator Dolpn main
tains was unjust and he held that the
Union Pacific receivers should be made
to pay the dsbts. Senator Thurston re-
piled that the Union Pacific was not
liable in any way. and that the separate
receiver should pay the claims. The case
was taken under advisement.
