a petition numerously signed by lead

justified in aceeding to this request l am
satisfied from the statement made to me by
the prison officials that the condition of
defendant, both physically and mentally,
warrants a respite until I can give more
thorough investigation. The official who
has him in charge and who sees him daily
says that he is slightly childish and
partially paralyzed in one limb. The

NO COMMITTEE SELECTED.
Sir Edward Gray Gives Some
Information to the Com

SEALING QUESTIONS DoDGED.
No Answer to Questions Relating to
the Conference Recently
Suggested.

LONDON, Eng, April 9.-Replying TO a
question IN the House OF Commons to-day
the Parliamentary Secretary to the Foreign
Office, Sir Edward Gray, said that the
Government was aware that the United
States had appointed a committee TO in
quire into the feasibility of the plan for
building canal across Nicaragua to con-
meet the Atlantic with the Pacific, but
Great Britain would not appoint COM
mittee to cooperate with the United
States committee unless the Government
OF the United States was DESTROYS that
Great Britain should do so. In reply to a
question Sir Edward Gray said that in case
the construction of the canal was proceeded
with the Government would take steps to
insure that British trade was placed on the
same footing as that of other nations.
In answer 10 Sir George Baden-Powen,
Sir Edward Gray said that the Government
had not received any proposition from the
United States TO summon conference of
powers concerned to deal with the seal
fisheries Of the North Pacific.
Sir George Baden-Powell also asked
whether Great Britain should refuse to Join
in such conference as instructed on the
lines suggested by the Paris tribunal Of
arbitration in 1893, but to the question Gray
made no reply. Answering question of
Sir George Bsden-Powel as to whether a
petition had not been received from Can
ada, suggesting that in case OF the failure
of the United States Congress to appropri-
ate the sum agreed upon under the Paris
award and in view OF the serious financial
difficulties to the seal fisheries which have
arisen, Great Britain would assume
that portion of the award, pending final
settlement with the United States, Mr..
Sidney Buxton, Parliamentary Secretary
to the Colonial Office, said, 81 am in no
position to answer that question"

NO MONEY IN HIS HEATEN.v
Coudrey Obtains a Verdict for Damages
From Schsrein furflt.


! CHICAGO, I'LL, April 9-The long-de-
/ layed trial by which George w. Godfrey
sought TO collect $4,000 in a damage suit
| against Jacob Sehweinfurth, the Rockford
Messiah, - began in Judge Dunne's court
to-day. Godfrey alleges that the defendant
alienated Mrs. Coudrey's affections from
her husband by inducing her to enter his
Heaven" Several witnesses, formerly
disciples of the defendant, viii testify for
the plaintiff.
When the case was called Schweinfurth
was not present. His attorney was pres
ent, however, who had received letters
from the defendant regarding the suit. In
them SehEeinfurth declared himself pre-
pared TO resist the ''doings of man." and
intimated that he cared nothing for the
case. He emphatically added that he was
guiltless of wrongdoing.
The first witness called was the aged DR..
Braham Smith, an eliminate OF the Rock
ford Heaven. The doctors testimony was
chiefly confined to limitations that
Schweinfurth's morality was not above
par.
The jury returned a verdict awarding
Godfrey $4,000 damages, the full amount
asked for. The jury was but few minutes
in reaching the verdict. SchBeinfurth's
people say he has no money TO meet the
damages

FARMS OF CALIFORNIA,
Reduced Rates for the Fruit
Growers of the State
Assured.
DATES FOR DISTRICT FAIRS.
The Outlook for Orchard Products
i'm the East Deemed
Favorable.

The fruit-growers of this State are to
have reduced rates for transportation OF
their fresh fruit TO the East this season,
and the relief comes from an unexpected
source, a combination apparently between
the Southern Pacific Company and P. D.
Armour, the wealthy Chicago packer,
whereby new refrigerator company, called
the "Fruit-growers' Express" comes into
the field and offers reduction on refriger-
alton charges OF from $35 to $50 per car OF
"a, 900 pounds, from points in California TO
the Eastern markets.
We are indebted to the Sacramento Bee
for the following information concerning
the new company: 1t is well-known fact
that, aside from the profit retained by the
refrigerator companies for themselves, and
the extra charge imposed by the Southern
Pacific for hauling cars tower the hill, 4"
each refrigerator company pays to the COM
mission houses bonus OF from S25 to $40
on each carload OF fruit shipped by its line.
This, too is ultimately assessed to the
shipper, being included liz the schedule of
s125 refrigerator charge to Chicago.
1t is to be remembered, too, that under
the old rates all excess over over "a, 600
pounds pays the proportlonate 1O0-pound
rate, while the new company makes no
charge at all for anything in excess OF "a
600 pounds in one ear. This would result,
in some instances, in a still further reduc-
ton per pound. Under the Armour re-
frigerator schedule, therefore, the fruit
grower will be able to save from $50 to 500
per car on the cost OF getting his fruit TO
the Eastern market
Following is the schedule of rates for re-
frigerator-car service for deciduous fruit
just issued by the Fruit-growers' Express,
and in effect from April 1, 1885. 1t is based
on q carload of "A, 600 pounds, or less, but
no extra charge will be made for any ex-
cess weight of fruit which can be got into
the car. In every instance the charge Is,
on carload OF "A 600 pounds, $50 less than
the existing charge for through refrigerator
service to Chicago pois1s, $45 less than
present rates to New York points and $50
less than such rates TO Boston points. A
further saving OF from SIS to $50 per car
can be made by dispensing with icing until
Truckee is reached, and this, it is claimed,
is perfectly feasible for Sacramento and all
points on the Central Pacific.
Group 1 in the following schedule in
cludes the following-named shipping
points, which have common rate: Sacra-
mento, Auburn, Penryn, Colfax, New
castle, Loomis, Roseyille.

Il Is a Home Remedy

HUNDREDS GIVE TESTIMONIALS.
Now Is the Time to Take Remedy
for Skin TroubIes-The Afflicted
VIII Find Cause for Re-
joicement.

A well-known physician spoke yesterday on
the subject of Skin Disease He said: DIS
eases of the skin are more liable to develop IN
the spring of the year than at any otner time.
The reason is scientific, yet plain.
nDuring the fall and winter months the sys-
TEN becomes run down, the blood sluggish or
thin and watery, the stomach is foul, the liver
torpid, the kidneys and bowels Irregular.
These conditions invite or produce skin dis
ease In all skin diseases you need eonstiTu-
tional treatment Nothing else can reach the
skin. If you do not take constitutional trest-
ment you cannot remove the cause OF the
trouble, and you cannot cure any skin disease
unless you remove the cause"
Now is the time to take q constitutional
treatment, and Joys Vegetable Ssrsaparilla is
one OF the best constitutional treatments
known. physicians prescribe it.

conference this afternoon by the resolution

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 9.-It would
appear that the answer made by Sir Ed
ward Gray in the House of Commons to-
day to the question from Sir George Baden
Powell, that the Government had not re-
ceiyed any proposal from the United States
70 summon q conference OF the powers
concerned TO deal with the seal fisheries
of the North Pacific, strongly resembles a
technical evasion of the point The cor
respondence with Great Britain relative to
Boring Sea is just being published in
pamphlet form by the State Department,
and under date Of January % last appears
note from Secretary Gresham to Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador, in
which Secretary Gresham speaks OF the
deep solicitude on the part of the President
with regard to the future of the seal herd,
in view OF the excessive number killed
last season. The President had become
convinced that the regulations in force had
not operated to prevent the destruction of
the herd, and unless speedy change was
made determination must follow. Such a
deplorable result should, if possible, be
avoided.
therefore the President urged that a
commission be appointed on the part OF
Great Britain, Russia, Japan and the
United States to visit the North Pacific
and report what measures might be
adopted to protect the seals. Meanwhile
Secretary Gresham proposed for the con-
sheraton of the three governments a
modus vivendi extending the scope Of the
present regulations so as to include the
entire north Pacific from the coast of the
United States to Asia north of the thirtieth
degree, during the coming season, and pro-
hibiting all sealing in Boring Sea, pending
the report of the commission suggested.
In conclusion the Secretary of State sug-
gested the necessity for speedy action upon
this proposition in view of the approach of
the sealing season and the departure of the
sealing vessels.
As far as can be learned no answer has
yet been received to this note from Great
Britain.

ton 10 the regular rates TRANSFORMATION,
not include fUading or handling of fruit.
Stations not named will take the rates provided
for at the nearest station.
Colonel Philo Hersey, president of the
Santa. Clara County Fruit Exchange, in an
interview on the outlook of the fruit crop,
says:
''There is little speculation on the part
OF Eastern buyers, who continue to send in
orders from day to day as the goods are
needed. 1t is impossible to. tell even ap-
proximately how much of last years ship
ment of fruit is now unsold in the East.
The parties who hold the fruit there refuse
to state the amount, though it is not very
large, as they continue to order from day
to day through their California agents.
Trade is quite uniform. The stocks held
in the East are going into the retailers
high and there seems to be no buoyancy
of feeling among producers and dealers of
an increase in prices. The fruit market is
one in which the bears have the best of it.
There is 140 cars of last years fruit re-
naming in the valley, the bulk OF which is
pIunes. The amount of fruit remaining in
the valley is about the same as that of last
year at this time, while in the East the
stock on hand is less than that held at this
time last year.
81 should advise those having on hand
stock of apricots in good selling condition
not to sell at present but to hold it over
until next year. The severe frost that Wis
tied this vicinity and Vacayille some weeks
ago, together with the frost of april 4,
will reduce the crop of apricots one-half
that of 1894. Peaches, cherries and pears
are slightly injured by the freeze of April
4, while the damage TO prunes cannot be
estimated, as the effects of the cold will
not be manifested until the middle of
June. The half-grown prune, if the pit
has been injured, withers and falls, al
though the greater proportion of prunes
injured at this stage will turn yellow and
drop off when the size of grains of wheat
If there be no more frosts or freezes and no
continued cold spells between now and
May Is we may expect a fair crop of prunes
and peaches, and possibly an average crop
of cherries.
California win be the great horticult-
ural empire of the United States. 1t is the

There are many fruits which cannot be
