FRUIT CROPS A FAILURE,
The Season Is Described as
Very Disastrous and
Improbable.
Apples Brought Twenty Per Cent
Less Per Barrel Than They
Did in 1898.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1O.-The
review Of the fruit conditions of the coun-
try for the calendar year 1894 by the
Pomologist of the Agricultural Department
is printed for the first time in the year
book, now almost completed.
1t characteriZes the season as a pecu-
liarly disastrous and improbable one in
most lines of fruit culture In the south
the result was largely due to the unfavor-
able climatic conditions that have pre-
vailed during the late winter and early
spring months.
Fair fruit crops were harvested, however,
in the New England, Middle Atlantic and
Lake States, and in portions of Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska.
West of the Rocky Mountains there was
an abundant yield, but losses due to the
paralysis of freight traffic during the rail
road strikes in June and July, together
with the low prices caused by the prevail
ing industrial depression, ends in very low
net returns to the growers and shippers of
that region.
The year was characterized by excep-
tional heat and cold, drought and moisture
IN different sections. The average value of
apples per barrel exported was about 20
per cent less than in 1893, and exports of
dried apples showed an increase of but 5
per cent over those in 1898, in which year
the exports were smaller than during any
year since 1873. Peaches were almost a
total failure in the commercial peach dis
tricts of the South, except in Florida and
Texas

the French policy in refusing to support
Russia at this juncture. He believed
himself to be the faithful inter-
prefer of the feelings of the country when
he telegraphed to St. Petersburg that
France places her alliance in the first
rank of her considerations and the
Government of the republic was then
disposed to support with all possible
efficacy the views of the imperial Govern
ment concerning the condition of peace
between China and France.
Continuing his remarks upon the subject
OF the presence of the French squadron NJ.
Hanotaux said the interests of France,
too, justified the attitude adopted,
and he pointed out the situation
in Egypt at the present time
as a result of the mistaken policy of Austen
ton which the French Parliament
had forced upon Gambetta, who foresaw
the result of the evils of the policy
of restraining the Government from ac-
tivity so far as the Suez canal was
concerned. The recent policy of activity
and expansion adopted by France had
lifted her again to her proper place among
the nations of the world and had brought
about the alliance with Russian alliance
which had given France the point dappui
she longed for.
M. Hanotaux concluded by asking for
the unequivocal support of all members of
the Chamber, for he said policy of vacil-
lation would only weaken French prestige
abroad.
M. Florens said in return for French
support in the East Russia would aid
France to obtain the freedom of Egypt
M. Gobel demanded the publication of
the treaty of alliance with Russia, if one
was in existence.
at this point NJ. Ribot interposed, say
ing: "You know well enough we cannot
publish it,
NJ. Gobel continued his remarks, insist
ing that the visit of the French squadron
to Kiel was the unfortunate result
of French co operation with
Russia and Germany in the
far East. Frenchmen would never under
stand any policy of approachment with
Germany so long as the disputed question
of the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine
remained unsettled.
NJ. Ribot concluded the debate by in
dorsing all the remarks of NJ. HanOtaux.
The order of the day approving the
declarations of the Government was then
adopted by 362 to 105, and amid cheers the
Chamber of Deputies adjourned.

Cheng Tn Missionaries Had Cabled That
Their Property Vas Destroyed.
NEW YORK, N. Y, June 10.-The Of
ficials of the Methodist Missionary Society
in this city are very hopeful that the report
of the massacre of missionaries at Cheng-
Tu has been exaggerated. DR.. Stephen J.
Baldwin, the recording secretary, said:
81 do not think the rumors are subse-
quent to the assurances we received by
cable from our mission in Cheng Tu under
date of June 8. The cable read: Property
destroyed, but all safe. Inform Toronto.
This would indicate that our people are
safe, although their property has been de-
stroyed."
The missionaries who are at Cheng Tu
are: Rev. H. DIN Cady and wife, f. L.
Cartwright, Md, and wife, Rev. ]. F.
Peat and wife, Rev. J. Q. Curnow and
wife. Rev. DR.. H. V. c. Hart, formerly
of the Central China mission, and several
associates of the Canadian Methodist
Church. The property at Ching Tu Mis-
sion, including dwellings. chapels, schools,
ETC., was valued at $4,000.

NEW POSTAL REG ULATIONs.
All Mail for China and Japan to Go Via
San Francisco

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1O.-The
means of best facilitating the sending of
trans-Pacific mails (Which now leave the
United States from San Francisco and
Tacoma) is the subject of an order
issued to the postmasters by Third
Assistant Postmaster General Craig. In
asmuch as it is impracticable for most
of the postmasters throughout the
country to keep accurately advised of the
dates of sailing of steamships of different
lines from different ports, Mr.. Craig in
structs them to send all trans-Pacifc mail
to the Postmaster at San Francisco, unless
specially addressed "via Tacoma, Wash. J"
Special instructions will be given to
postmasters at several of the large cities
TO carefully note the time required for
train dispatches between their respective
offices and Tacoma, Wash, having refer
ence to the dates advertised for steamship
sailings to China and Japan, and when ex-
petitions can certainly be gained for regis
tered mail not specially addressed to go
otherwise, they will bill such registered
mail to San Francisco exchange Office.

DEBS TO SERVE HIS TIME.
He Leaves To- MorrOac for Woodstock jail
ALnnn Hith Other Prisoners


Along With Other Prisoners.
CHICAGO, ILL, June 1O.-Eugene V.
Debs and other officials of the A. R. U.
will be sent to Woodstock Jail tomorrow.
Certified copies of the orders of the Su-
preme Court were received here to-day.
The men under sentence are E. V. Debs,
G. W. Howard, S. Keliher, L. w. Rogers,
James Hogan, w. E. Burns, R. NJ. Good
win and Martin Elliott
There is question as to the time the
men will serve. The original sentence
was six months for Debs and three months
for his associates in two different contempt
cases. The defendants attorneys later had
the sentences made cumulative in order TO
take desired legal action. 1t is thought
probable that an effort will be made
to have Judge Wood reinstate the concur
rent sentences.
George Howard, the former vice-presi-
dent of the union, now president of the
Industrial Union, which is a rival organ
ization of the A. R. o., desires to be sent
to some county jail in Indiana, and has
secured what he construes as a promise
from Judge Woods to crafty his desire.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1O.-The
report published in New York that a party
OF Government surveyors we're killed by
Chickasaw Indians near Little Doggy, L. T.
last week is incorrect. A dispatch has

reports of a massacre. The survey has
ten parties of about ten men each at
work in Indian Territory, subdividing the

the Indians know the work is for their
benefit, and give the best of treatm emf to
