of resignation is an Indictment of the pres

the Duke claims, can never be other than a
provisional regime. He added:
''The hour is near at hand when the
country will wish to return to its former
Government, which was the glory of its
past and is the guarantee of its future"
Continuing, the manifesto says: "Provi-
dence, in making me represent the mon
archy, imposes upon me heavy heritage,
but the day my country calls me it shall
find me in attendance and in my devotion
a force to fulfill my whole task. Ny life
and blood will belong to France-to that
France which my ancestors made great
and respected. That will be the work of
tomorrow. The task of to-day will be to
overcome immediate dangers"
The manifesto concludes with an appeal
to the friends of the monarchy to vote for
the candidate best able to maintain inter
nal order, social peace and Frances honor
abroad.

gates to the Capital to Urge the
Passage of Mathews Bill.

Los ANGELES, Jan. 1.-THE meeting held
at the Chamber of Commerce to-day to dis
cuss ways and means for the construction
of railway from this city through the
San Joaquin Valley to Fresno was repre-
sentative one. Los Angeles was represented
by men high up in the commercial, imam
cial and professional world and the mem
bers from the valley counties comprised
the most influential citizens OF the respec-
tive sections which they represented.
The meeting was called to order by Pres
ident Daniel Freeman and NJ. L. Graft of
the Chamber of Commerce was elected
chairman.
Mr.. Holabird of Bakersfield was the first
speaker. He read lengthy and carefully
prepared address, in which he discussed
the various passes through the mountains
separating Los Angeles from the north,
and advised that the best route over which
to build road would be from Hesperia
across the Antelope Valley into the San
Joaquin.
Rev. T. R. w. Haskins said he had taken
a trip East and had secured the promise of
capitalists to purchase bonds for building
such road The people of Antelope Val
ley, he said, would subscribe 100000 to the
enterprise.
7. c. White of Fresno also addressed the
meeting in support of the project, and was
followed by Mr.. Biddle of Hanford.
George S. Patton was then introduced
and delivered ringing address in favor OF
the Mathews bill. Mr.. Sprague of Antelope
Valley spoke with great strength upon the
same proposition. He believed the Math-
ews bill was the only way to build the
road.
The following resolution was then
adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting
that line of railway be constructed, and for
the speedy accomplishment of this we would
recommend the means provided by the Math.
ews bill now pending before the Legislature OF
California and that each county interested in
such line of railway be and is hereby requested
to send a strong committee to Sacramento to
urge the passage of the Mathews bill.
A resolution was also adopted recon-
mending an amendment to the Mathews
bill by substituting in the last clause OF
section 2 for the words sin proportion to
the mileage in said county" the words sin
proportion to the bonds issued by each
county and sold for the construction of
said railroad"
A resolution favoring the construction of
a deep SEX harbor at San Pedro was unani-
mously adopted.
The meeting then adjourned, to assem-
BILE at the call of the Committee on Ways
and Means or of the chair.

HE ENTERS PARIS.
FeJir FGwre Receires the declarations of
the French.

PARIS, Jan. IL. - Exit Casimir- Perier,
slamming the doors behind him and pre-
ferring retirement to the dissolution of
Parliament with the certainty of his Gov
eminent being called a Government OF die
tators of railway conventions. All the in
trigues in connection with the Presidential
election tended to securing the return of
President against honest Brisson, hence
the strenuous efforts favorable to Waldeck-
Rousseau, who was colleague of Raynal in
the Ferry Cabinet of 1888, which signed the
railway conventions Meline was also in
the conventions Cabinet. President Faure
belongs to the conventions party, but he
has kept out of the mud.
The members of the Cabinet tonight
placed their designations in the hands of
President Faure, but will continue tenn
porarily the direction Of affairs. Pending
the formation of new Cabinet the Minis
ter of Justice will attend to the business of
the Ministry of Marine, while the Minister
of Commerce will assume the direction of
the Ministry of Public Works.
The Socialist Deputies met this evening
and issued a manifesto characterizing
Faure as the candidate of ''the rallied and
reactionaries parties, elected President
against the candidate of all the Repub-
licans."
The manifesto says: "The Republican
traitors to their country have hoped that
Faure would be protected by his obscurity
even against the anger of the democracy"
NJ. Faure arrived at the st. Lazare sta
ton at o'clock. A majority of the Sen
ators and Deputies had preceded him.
When the Presidential train entered the
station bugles sounded, drums beat and
the troops presented arms. NJ. Faure
emerged and entered superb carriage,
which was escorted by cuirassiers. As
soon as the President was seen the inn
mense crowd shouted: "Vive la Repub-
liquel" 'Vive Felix Faurel' Hats were
waved, and the greatest enthusiasm was
displayed. Dupuy sat beside the Presi-
dent. The cheers of the throng massed
along the footways did not cease until the
carriage of the President reached the palace
of the Elysee. Faure constantly dotted his
hat in response to the enthusiastic accla-
nations of the multitude.

that Sacramento has given them. One
hears expressions of surprise and pleasure
on every hand. The hall filed with Cali
fornia fruits and flowers, decorated with
palms and beautiful with color and motion;
the lunch tables, where California olives
and dried fruits most excellently prepared
and served by Sacramento ladies, invite
the guests to innumerable banquets; the
city itself, cloudy overhead, but overflow

tality-all unite, so the visitors say, TO
make this excursion memorable in their
annals.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 1.-THE identity
of Paul Jones, the around-the-worldt tramp
who is making money travelling instead OF
spending it, was discovered to-day IN tins
city. His real name is E. G. Pfelffer, ana
he graduated frem Harvard College with
the class of 1889. He worked his way
through college, his parents being poor
residents OF Portsmouth, Mass, and he
was considered by all his classmates as
being eccentric, though bright. He rowed
No. in the Harvard Varsity crew In
1SS7-S8, and was considered the most pow
erful oar in the crew. In 1889 he was
elected captain of the crew, but did not row
in the race In both the races he rowed
his crew was beaten.
To-day Jones was employed by we'll
known dry-goods house, where he sold
cakes of soap with photograph of him
self in his paper suit for cents and did
land office business. He paraded up and
down in the interior of the store dressed in
the paper suit and when a crowd would
come in he would say
'tBuy cake of soap and picture; only
come around once in a hundred years. 4"
Crowds flocked round the store during the
entire time he was there, making 1t almost
impossible to get in at times, Most OF his
patrons were ladies, some of whom thought
him "iust too handsome to live"

CHEHALIs, Wash, Jan. Thames Ur-
quhart of Napavine, this county, has been
made defendant in a $4,000 breach of
promise case. The plaintiff, Miss Myrtle
Blanchard of Napavine, is aged Is. The
parties came here yesterday to get married.
Urquhart had already bought an expensive
wedding outfit for his intended bride, but
his children persuaded him not to marry,
and Miss Blanchard had the papers of the
suit served upon him within two hours.
Urquhart is over rs years old, and is one of
the Oldest settlers and wealthiest men in
this part of the State. His children say the
case is blackmail and the girl and her
family have worked several months to get
hold of the old gentleman's money.

berry and blackberry favor. 1t is very
productive and an exceedingly strong
grower, making canes as large as your
thumb. Roots run as deep as blackcap,
and it cannot be propagated as an ordinary
raspberry can. 1t seems to combine the
character of its two parents. 1t is mostly
propagated from tips, although you can
get it from layers"
Late in the afternoon Professor Hus-
mann spoke of an experiment on plum
trees recently conducted by Professor
Smith of Napa. He read very valuable
essay on that subject at the last fruit
growers convention, in which he stated
that he had effected an entire cure of the
knot of plum trees after cutting off the
excrescences smoothly and puncturing
them with sharp instrument and moist
ening with strong solution of the Bor-
deaux mixture. He stated that he had
commenced that treatment about three
years ago and the roots OF the plum trees
were entirely healthy and smooth now.
Each member of the society will be given
a copy of the great seal OF California, with
history of its origin.
The excursion to-day to Folsom and
vicinity occupied five hours. The party
filled the extra cars and were under the
guidance of the Sacramento committee
and many prominent Californians, includ-
ing Professor Allen of San Jose, ex-senator
Buck, r. C. Kells of Yuba, l.. F. Moulton
of Colusa, George Wilson of lone, Professor
George Husmann, John Rock of Niles and
many others. The party inspected various
vineyards and orchards and admired the
wonderful luxuriance of growth visible on
every hand this mild and rainy winter.
AS one of them said, the season from a
fruit-grower's standpoint was perfect Not
a sign of frost was visible in the foothill
country, and the grass stands knee high
over miles of pasture lands. The ladies
came back loaded down with punches of
the scarlet California Christmas berry
(Heteromeles), with ferns and with orange
blossoms. A warm rain drizzled, and
alternated with flashes of sunlight. all day
long.
