The Growers After the Southern
Pacific Company
DEMANDS OF THE RAISERS
Salvation of the Industry Rests With
Mr.. Huntington
The Railroad People Asked to Give the Growers
Rates on Different Glasses of
the Fruit

San Francisco, Feb. 20.-The Committee
on Transportation appointed by the fruit
growers in state convention at Sacramento
last November has submitted lengthy
| communication to the officers of the
Southern Pacific Company on the subject
of freight on fruit. In this they say:
1t is not difficult to forsee the end should
the experience of fruit growers in the next
two or three years be q repetition of the
experiences OF 1898 and 1894. 1t must
mean, first, the financial ruin of the vast
army of fruit growers, who are among
the most desirable citizens of the state; it
must further mean a most serious shrink
age, not alone in values throughout the
state, but also in populatian. All of
which cannot but mean a most serious
shrinkage in the values of California rail
road property 1t must, therefore, be
plain at this time the interests of the Cali
fornia transportation companies and the
fruit growers are identical. The prosper
ity of the railways in this state must
largely be dependent upon the pros
perity of fruit culture, which has now be-
come almost the prime industry of the
state. We believe that as intelligent,
thoughtful and wide-awake railroad men,
they fully and deeply appreciate all these
facts.
The communication details at length
what has been done in the matter OF trans
portation and offers suggestions which,
it is claimed, would result in benefit to
the transportation company and to the
fruit grower
The following is a recapitulation of
what is desired OF the transportation
companies:
First-We ask that the fve-day venti-
lated car service to Chicago be in some
manner guaranteed. 'l@ss
Second-We ask that you obtain from
the refrigerator companies concession
OF at least $50 per car.
Third-That a 81 rate to Chicago be
granted on ventilated cars for eight-day
service.
Fourth-That carload lots of fruit for
Eastern shipment be hauled to points on
main line on basis OF through rates, in
stead of local rates.
Fifth-That ten tons be made the maxi
mum amount of cherries to be loaded in
refrigerator cars, as experience has shown |
that twelve tons cannot be properly refrig- |
Grated That ii is detrimental to the fruit |
to be thus overloaded, and in the begin !
ming of the season that it is hard to get |
over eight tons of cherries for any one car |
without holding the fruit too long.
Sixth-We ask that mixed cars of dried |
and canned fruits and nuts be accepted |
by your company, each variety paying its |
own rate, instead of the highest rated |
article establishing the rate for the entire |
car; and that similar concession be |
made on mixed cars of fresh fruits and
vegetables.
Seyenth-We finally ask, owing to the
woeful depression of the raisin industry,
that an emergency rate of 75 cents be |
given on the raisin crop of 1895.

r1P AND MRS, WILDE

Oscar Wilde is an extremely rapid
worker. The second act of An Ideal Hus-
band was not written till the first was all
ready in rehearsal, and his latest dram
attic achievement was thrown into shape
in about fortnight. Yet he is a careful
and conscientious worker. One OF his OK
ford tutors once told a friend that so ex-
traordinarily perfect We're his Greats pa
pers that one of the examiners asked if
he might take them home and peruse
them once again at his leisure.
Mrs. Oscar Wilde has an interesting per-
sonalitv She is the granddaughter Of
the man whose financial scheme G.loyd' 8
bonds) enabled England to build her first
railroads. She shares her husbands love
of beauty, and their home in Chelsea CON
tains some of the most lovely rooms in
London. There, every Wednesday after
noon, Mrs. Wilde holds an informal re-
ceptiOn, where most of those who are
thinkers and workers find their way, from
Mrs Meredith to the youngest socialistic
dreamer brought by Walter Crane.

Why the Troubles in Argentina
Are Not Written Up
NOBODY ALLOWED TO SPEAK
A Press Correspondent Sends Out a
Secret Message
Terrible State Of Affairs Reported-PeopIe
Arrested, Whipped and Decapitated
by the Officers

New York, Feb. 20.-Fles of the Time
of Argentina, just received in this city,
under date of January 2sth, contain the
following letter dated from Lima, October
81: "You complain that do not comply
with your orders to wire to the Times OF
Argentina the daily occurrences in re-
spcct of the revolutionary movement in
the Republic. Please hear this tale:
Nobody here is allowed to tell the truth.
Every newspaper Office has censor,
every telegraph Office is equally under
immediate government supervision. No
telegraphic communication is therefore
possible.
To give you an idea OF the risks run
by anybody giving information of the
revolutionary movement, | may state that
the residence OF every suspected person is
invaded by the police at all hours of the
night furniture destroyed, the male resi-
dents turned. into the streets and the
female portion insulted.
People are arrested pell nell, whipped
tortured, shot or decapitated without trial.
Political prisoners disappear and their
families cannot tell where their dead
bodies are inferred The only consolation
they have is they can pray for the souls OF
the departd.
Recruiting in the public thoroughfare
goes on continually; often raid is made
at cchurch door when people are
coming out. The men are entrapped
tied up in much the same way as slave
drivers convey their slaves, and marched
off to the barracks to increase the gov
ernment forces. Any body with sword
dangling at his side considers himself
the arbter of life and property.
"Caceres hordes entered Matucana the
other day. The town was completely
sacked. Men were shot in heaps and
every woman in the town became the
property of the ruttians who go under the
name of soldiers. Nothing of such
barbarous natue has been witnessed in
history, and the noted Bulgarian atroci-
ties pale under the shadows of the in
iquit!cs of Matucana.
A friend of mine will post this letter at
Valparaiso, as no such missive could be
trusted to our postoffice.n -
