ITALY's ORANGE CROP.
The Shipments to This Country This
Season to Be Heavy.


Season to BE Heavy.
Washington, Dec. 13-According 10 II.
G. Huntington. United States commercial
agent at Castel-a-Mare, Italy, Italian or
anges will be shipped to America in large
quantities this season. This has been
brought about by report concerning the
damaEed state Of the Florida groves. 1t
is said in Italy that Florida will supply
only about 200, 900 boxes as compared with
from 100000 to 5000, 900 boxes the estimat-
ed crop before last years damage by frost,
and as a result the Italian expectation,
which usually begins at the end of Janu-
airy, will commence during the present
month. The quantity of fruit exported
from Sorrento to the United States las
season, says Mr.. Huntington, was Gp-
proximately 100000 boxes of oranges and
$4,000 boxes of lemons while for the pres
ent season the amount will probably be
$4,000 boxes of oranges and 10000 boxes
of lemons. Mr.. Huntington does not,
however, explain the seeming discrepancy
with his other statements.
A report just received at the department
from Mr.. Seymour, our consul at Palermo,
says that on account of an unusually
long drought, which still exists, the ma
turity of all fruits has been retarded At
Palermo lemons for shipment command
ed a high price, and owing to the low
prices in foreign markets, a majority of
the shippers are idle, waiting for a more
favorable time to begin operations. The
lemon crop in the Palermo district is a
very large one.

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Thurman MISUNDERSTANDING Banks
Looked Upon as Unsafe.

New York, Dec 1S-The federation of
labor to-day decided TO elect officers to-
morrow.
Treasurer Lennon. when the convention
was called to order this morning moved
that the committee on resolutions be in
structed to draw up resolutions express
ing the appreciation of the federation Of
the efforts of Allen G. Thurman and the
interest he had always shown in behalf of
labor interests. The rules were laid aside
and the motion was unanimously carried.
'Inasmuch as the savings Institutions
Of this country, which received the saw
ings of the laboring classes invest them
in insecure investments" ran another res-
olution offered for adoption by the COM
mittee on resolutions "be 1t resolved by
this federation that the government
establish savings Institutions in connection
with the postal system"
Up sprang socialism again. The discus
sion showed that the delegates from the
west favored the resolution, while the east
ern delegates opposed 1t.
After an exciting discussion, the report
of the committee in favor Of the postal
banks was confirmed by the convention.

BANK TO BE WOUND UP.
1t Will Pay All It's Debts and Divide
Surplus.

San Francisco, Dec. 13.-The Grangers'
Bank of California, one of the oldest
banks in the city, is about to go into vol
untary liquidation and has closed its
doors. An examination made by the bank
observation-disclosures shows that the bank is
not only able to pay all it's Indebtedness
in a short time, but, after the liquidation,
there will be large surplus for the stock
holders TO divide. The causes are depre-
ciation in lands and other real estate,
and the low prices ruling for farming
products.
The cashier stated this morning that the
doors would probably be opened on Mon
dav next, when every dollar of indebted
ness would be paid, after which the banks
affairs would be wound up.

The storm Now Raging at HatterRs
the Worst of the geason.

Ant AhC SGhHohs
Norfolk. Va, Dec. 13.-President Cleve-
land and his party have succeeded to-day
in thoroughly losing themselves to the
outside world. for no one knows where
he is at present. The Violet was to have
left Hatteras to-day. but whether she did
so or not, is unknown. for a gale has been
raging over the North Carolina sounds,
and the wires between Kitty Hawk and
Hatteras are down. AT Kitty Hawk the
wind blew at a rate of sixty-eight miles
an hour and was probably much heavier
at Hatteras. No vessels have arrived
from North Carolina waters and Il is the
opinion OF sailing masters that the Vio-
let could not have made the run up PAM
lico sound under the heavy winds PREVAIL
ing.
President on his return. The water in
the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal
through which the Violet must pass on
her way to Norfolk now measures only
five and O half feet the lowest ever
known I'm that connecting link between
Virginia and North Carolina. 1t is prob
able that the presidential party will have
to 20 TO Elizabeth City, ". c., and come
to Norfolk by rail. The storm to-day
around Hatteras is the worst so far this
season.
