NEW YORK, Aug 1.-the Advertiser
prints the following story this morning;
Politicians who smilo as they pass the
city hall nowadays may soon feel them
selves constrained to pay some little atten-
ton to quiet gnmo that is now being
played there Mayor Strong may not be
the guileless Christian in politics that he
IS popularity supposed to be. Unlike most
men who have been welded TO business
for more than twoscore years and then
find themselves in politics, the result of
an emotion or Of upheaval, he has not ex-
pressed any dissatisfaction with his posi-
ton. He is not weary of his place. The
burdens Of Office sit lightly on him. He
does not sigh for the yardstick again, nor
does he mourn over the bank presidency
he abandoned.
''Ho is in his Office early and late, and
he believes he knows how to play politics.
He had wealth, leisure and inclination
and has become infatuated with the
science. He would probably deny the i'm
parchment blushingly, but It is n fact
that Mayor Strong is playing for the GU
bcrnatorial nomination of 1896 II is only
ono feature Of the Mckinley campaign in
this state and is in keeping with a well
defined understanding that has been ar
rived at between the governor Of Ohio and
the mayor OF this city.

WHATCOM BOAT ACCIDENT
Rescue of All the Passengers,
Except Traveller Kautz-
man.
Slipped From a Liferaft Twenty
Minutes Before Help
Came.

WHATCOM, WASH, April 3.-All the
passengers and crew of the steamboat
Buckeye, which was swamped in a gale
last evening in Bellingham Bay, were res
cued except w. FL. Kaufman. He was on
a life-raft with three other passengers, but
fell off, having become stiff with cold. The
others were rescued by tug.
The body of Kaufman was found at
$50 this evening at the mouth of Little
Soualicum Creek, about two. miles from
here, by the boys. They told two
other boys, who secured the body and
brought it to this city. On the body was a
diamond shirt-stud, gold watch and
$57 IS in money mostly gold, sewed in the
breast of his undershirt.
His neck was cut by the glass in the
cabin window through which he crawled to
the upper deck and there is confusion on
his head. The life preserver had kept the
body afioat while it drifted with the tide
about six miles from the scene of the
disaster. Kaufman would have been
saved could he have held to the raft twenty
minutes longer. He was a member of
several fraternal orders and carried life in
surance to the amount of $4,000. A reward
of $150 had been offered by Mrs. Kaufman
for the recovery of his body.
The hull of the wrecked steamboat was
picked up this afternoon by the tug ]. E.

Fort Bellingham, about six miles from the
place where she was swamped last night.

SAN JOSE. Cali, April 3.-Sheriff Lyndon
and Deputy Sheriff Gardener left this city
at noon to-day in rig for Campbell sta
ton and Los Gatos on a. search. for Brady,
the man who is suspected of being the
slayer of Sheriff Bogard at Reeds station
during the train robbery last week.
Reports came from several parties at
Campbell that they had seen man much
resembling the descriptions of the Reed
station robber pass through that town.
He wore ordinary clothing.S There were
no traces of a bicycle suit about his attire.
The officers left for the scene as soon as
possible and got traces of the suspect,
which they followed. He was found to be
making his way as fast as possible toward
Santa Cruz.
Sheriff Lyndon returned this evening,
but Deputy Gardener continued on his way
to Santa Cruz. He will attempt to over
haul the man and settle the question as. to
whether or not he is the robber who is so
anxiousry sought for.
"a rancher named. Edward LAWN reported
here to-day that he had been stood up at
about s O'Clock last Tuesday eveningon the
road near Hillsdale. He was driving a
double team attached to light wagon.

PEELED him to halt, climb to the ground and
deliver over gold watch and $40 in
money-all the valuables he had on his
person. The cycler- footpad then jumped
upon his wheel and struck out on a rapid
pace in the direction of San Jose. He wore
ordinary rlothing, and resembled the de-
scriptions of the cycler who had been seen
at Campbell. 1t is thought probable that
the robber spent Tuesday night, after his
.Hillsdale exploit, in San Jose, and struck
out this morning for Santa Cruz.

wanted in this city anyhow for holding up

Los ANGELES ORANGES,
Growers Decide to Meet Com
petition and Cut
Prices.
The Exchange Will No Longer
Make Quotations on the
Seedlings.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 3.-The or
ange-growers of Southern California have
been greatly worried for some time over
the keen competition made to their or
anges in the Eastern markets by foreign
growers.
This eliminated to-day in meeting at
the Southern California Fruit Exchange in
this city, at which representatives from
Riverside, San Bernardino, Pomona, Pasa-
dena and other points were present. 1t
was pointed out at the meeting that the
prices at which oranges from this section
were quoted offered good margin of profit
to the European orange-growers; that the
latter could ship and land their fruit at
New York and other Eastern points and
undersell the California growers.
This trouble was further emphasized by
the fact. that there were many growers in
Southern California not members of the
exchange, who were shipping their fruit
on their own account, getting for it what
they could, and in this way adding to the
decentralization of prices. Some members
present were in favor of going on as. they
had been doing, Swapping their fingers at
the European growers. Others contended
they saw no use in making the running
for the foreign growers by quoting price
which gave them a chance to cut with
profit still to themselves.
After a long and acute discussion COM
promise was reached whereby it was de-
cided to continue quoting navel oranges as
heretofore, but to stop making any more
quotations on seeding oranges. The re-
suit of this move will be to allow orange
growers who are members of the exchange
to sell their seedlings at any price they
like OF ship them on consignment where
ever they please without by so doing for
feiting their membership in the exchange.
Seedlings have hitherto been quoted as
follows per box: Fancy 81 so, choice 81 %,
standard 81 10.
A prominent member of the Exchange
was interviewed by your correspondent
after the meeting was over.
EYES," he said, "some of our members
may think it wise to ship their seedlings
on consignment, but the majority of US
will not. We will wait until the Eastern
markets are cleaned of the foreign drug,
and then we will ship our fruit as before.
In the meantime we do not propose to
keep on quoting prices simply to make a
market for those foreign fellows to shoot

presented heretofore. In reality many i'm
portant matters that have been published

The chase after the missing rohber or
robbers has been confined to few.local
officers and men, whose incentive has been
thereward. None of these men reported
either to Sheriff Smith of Sutter or Inflow
of ,Yuba. Consequently there.~is nothing
new to relate concerning the search. Sew
eral reported arrests proved:to be nothing
but hoaxes by<practical iokers. who seem
to have lost-sight of the seriousness of the
offense for which the men are wanted.

treasury ON December % last, when his
predecessor was assaulted and locked in
the vault, and the treasury robbed of $4,000.
The lawyers here incline to the opinion
that it is not strictly in accordance with
the law to deposit the money in the banks
and have them loan it out, but the Bank
Examiners, who know of this fact, have
hitherto ignored the technicality, believing
that the money is more safe in the banks
than in the treasury vault, and that such
an amount of coin in circulation in the
community is productive of much good.
Section 81 of the law in regard to the
matter says the County Treasurer must
keep all money belonging to the county or
State in his possession until disburseo, but
he can make special deposits for the safe
keeping of funds.
The end of the trouble is not yet.
