SANTA CLARA VALLEY FRUIT.
Shipments of Cherries Hare Reached tn,

Shipments of Cherries Hare Reached the
Maximum for the Season.
SAN JOSE, CAL, June 16.-The daily
shipments of cherries from San Jose to
Eastern points are now as large as they
will be this season. The early varieties
have about all gone forward, the pack at
present being Royal Annes and Black
Tartarians.
The cherry crop is but little over half
that of last year. Last week the Eastern
shipments of cherries were 537, O65 pounds,
against 1924, 355 pounds for the CORE
spending week of last year. George H.
Anderson, of Anderson & Co., said yester-
day:
"We are shipping on an average two
carloads of cherries East every other day.
The pack of black cherries at our ware
houses this year was thirty carloads and
about as many carloads of other varieties
will be forwarded before the season is over
Very few Santa Clara County cherries
reach the San Francisco market, the bulk
of the crop going East. The cherry sea-
son will last about ten days longer, and
then there will be lull in the green fruit
business until the middle of July. The
peach crop this year will be large one,
and shipments of the early varieties will
be made. Our shipments of green fruit
this year will probably reach 700 carloads
The fruit crop will be rather light, but the
demand is good, and prices are encour-
aging to packers"

ACCUSED OF BLACKMA|L,
An Attorney and an Alleged
Detective Behind the
Bars.
Charged With Seeking to Obtain
Hush Money from Unfortu-
nate Women.

TOLEDO, ONO, June 16.-M. G. McIn-
erney, prominent young attorney, and
c. P. Hayes, an alleged detective, are be-
hind the bars charged with blackmail.
These two men have been working up
cases under the VIM law against the
keepers of disorderly houses, and have
already filed some twenty of these cases in
the Common Pleas Court.
The law in question provides that liquor
shall not be sold in such places, and where
a conviction is obtained in civil action,
the offenders are subject to a judgment OF
$3.50, half of which goes to the informers.
McInerney and Hayes seem to have gone
into the prosecution of these cases as a
business venture, but some of the women
keeping these houses now charge them
with working up cases against them, and
then offering to settle for a sum of money
in cash, and one of the women has re-
ceipt for money which she claims was paid
for the settlement of such a claim.
This is the first time that cases have
been pushed under the law in this State
and the predicament of the men at the
bottom of it has excited considerable in.

BOUNTY ON BEET SUGAR,
1t Will Be Continued in Ger
many for Another Four
Years.
The Industry There Now Reported
to Be in Most Deplorable
State.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June Icon
sui Muth at Madgeburg has sent to the
State Department a report on the prelim-
mary sugar law of Germany.
He says the German Government has
come to the relief of the beet-sugar indus
try by submitting to the Reichstag pre-
liminarv law, which provides that until
July 1, 1899, the rate of export bounty now
in force shall continue.
Under the sugar law OF 1891 the rates
would have been reduced after August /,
1895, and after August 1, 1897, the expert
bounty was to have been discontinued.
Germany, he says, now pays lower ex-
port bounty than any other competing
country, and a reduction would have been
suicidal.
The sugar industry of the country is now
in deplorable state, and nothing will save
it from serious loss unless its growth and
and unnatural extension are checked.
The preliminary law continuing the
present bounty will enable the Govern
ment to thoroughly consider the sugar
question. A new law will be then sub
mitted which will answer the various de-
mands of local interests throughout the
empire

SEARCHING FOR THE BODIES.
Governor Santa Cruz Is DiSpatching
Expeditions in Every
Direction.

MAZATLAN, MEXICO, June To- The
latest advices from Manzanillo are to the
effect that two women and one man have
been found about ninety miles as the bird
flies south OF that port. Their names are
not known as yet. A rescuing party left
Manzanillo several days ago to bring them
ina journey OF 175 miles over rugged
mountains on horseback. Ten days will
be necessary to make the trip there and
back. They should return during the
coming week. The story of this rescue
may be true or not. but the authorities are
sending out expeditions wherever they
hear of any survivors; yet as many as
they have sent out, they have found no.
body. This one, they hope, will prove more
successful.
The Sydney arrived here this morning
from Manzanillo and the south, bringing
little additional news from the survivors OF
the Inflated Colima other than that which
the CALL has already published.
The Sydney has on board three of the
crew, named John Pegueros, ]. Altman
and A. Santamarla, whom they got at
Manzanillo. The two passengers rescued
with these three, Bryan and Nowans, have
both proceeded on their journey to New
York. The survivors who were on the
Barracuda have gone south on her, Chill
berg to Guatemala, his destination. The
three of the crew on the Sydney give no
new details as regards the wreck, simply a
repetition of the terrible tales of suffer
ings, horror and death.
If there have been any reports circulated
to the effect that bodies have been washed
ashore and there robbed and mutilated
they should be denounced as absolute
falsehoods, as no bodies have come ashore
nor even been seen floating, consequently
such acts would be impossible. The Next
can Government, and especially Governor
Santa Cruz of the State of Colima, have
done everything possible to find the sur
vivors and rescue them, as well as to find
the bodies of the lost. The coast has been
patrolled for miles by watchmen and boats
have cruised in the vicinity of the wreck,
finding nothing but wreckage. The fact
that the steamer went down in nearly 1000
feet of water leaves little hope of any OF
the drowned ever coming to the surface.

WILL URGE DAVIS CLAIM.
The Minnesota Senator to
Figure in the Presidential
Campaign.
National Committeeman Evans
Thinks Mckinley Is the Strong
est Candidate.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, June 16. = Dele
gates to the convention of the National
Republican League are beginning to arrive
in the city, and by tomorrow it is expected
that there will be quite an influx of
strangers here.
Among those who arrived to-day was R.
c. Evans, Republican National Committee
man from Minnesota and delegate-at-large
to the convention from that State. Mr..
Evans says he thinks the convention will
be the largest and most enthusiastic that
has yet been held, and he scouts the idea
that there will be fight over free coinage.
Mr.. Evans has just returned from the
East. On being asked what he thought OF
the Republican Presidential question he
said Minnesota had a candidate in the
person of Senator Gushing K. Davis, and
while he was not leader in the race Min
nesota Republicans hope matters would so
shape themselves before next year as to
make his nomination positive. In regard
to the question whom he considered the
strongest candidate in the race at present,
Mr.. Evans said:
''Mr. Mckinley is by all odds the strong
est candidate. He has been in the race
longest. His character and record are
such that he will stand the test, no matter
how long he has to remain in the contest
before the convention is held"
He said Reed, Harrison and Allison were
all strong and able men, and each was
positive of a considerable following.

OMAHA, NEBR., June 16.-A special to
the Bee from Grand Island, Nebr, says:
In the northwestern part of Adams
County, in the vicinity of the farm of
Fred Ernst, hydrophobia in animals has
caused a great loss of cattle, injury to man
and much anxiety.
Two men have been bitten and COM
PEELED to go to Wymore, where a maidstone
was supplied, and over forty cattle belong
ing to Ernst have been shot, after showing
signs of hydrophobia.
In January COW was bitten by mad
dog. 1t died and was not buried, being
hauled to some out of the way place. The
dogs in the neigh borhood consumed the
carcass. About May it was noticed other
cattle showed symptoms of hydrophobia.
Then it was that Ernst's first bovine
showed the disease and was shot.
A war was next commenced on the dogs
in the district. Only one dog is left and
he will soon join his companions.
Three hogs belonging to Ernst were
bitten. One of these had extensive tusks
and Frank Ernst, son, about "a years old,
was scratched by one of the tusks. As a
result he was obliged to go to Wypore,
where the poison was extracted.
A neighbor, while burying a cow which
he had shot, allowed some of the animals
saliva to touch scratch on his hand, and
he, too, went to WymOre. He remained
there until he was thought to be safe and
then returned home. He has since shown
signs of hydrophobia and serious conse-
quences are feared.
Desperate efforts have been made to
clear the neighborhood of all animals

IN FAVOR OF The CANAL,
The Government Commission
Sent to Nicaragua Is Heard
From.
Everything Done by the Former
Contractors Found In Excellent
Shape.

CHICAGO, I'LL, June ia dispatch to
the Times Herald from Washington, refer
ring to the work of the commission APP
pointed to inspect the route and prelim-
mary work on the Nicaragua canal, says
the engineers reached Greytown, the east
ern terminus of the canal, on May Ii, and
began an examination of the property and
Improvements of the canal company at
that port. One of the most important OF
these is q breakwater 1900 feet long, which
extends out into the sea. The construction
of this was begun in December, 1889, with
the result. as predicted by engineers, of in
creasing the depth of water in the bay, so
that the depth on the bar is twelve feet at
the present time.
Notwithstanding the repeated efforts OF

the engineers to prevent the ravages of the
teredo on the timbers of this breakwater
the Commissioners find that the wood was
badly eaten.
That portion of the canal already built
extending west from Greytown toward the
San Juan River was found in splendid con-
dition. The embankments on each side
have stood the effects of the weather re-
markably well and show no serious effects
from the rainfall. The hospitals and other
buildings were found in good state OF
preservation. The railroad which the
canal com pany has built along the route OF
the canal for the transportation OF ma
terial and men has already been thor
oughly inspected and found in good con-
dition.
The crumbling of the earth from the
cliffs and the washings from surface drain
age has not been as disastrous as expected,
and it is said this objection, so often urged
against the feasibility of the canal, has
fallen fiat. While the canal passes through
O very wet region where the annual pre-
cipitation is nearly twenty-five inches. the
effects of the movement of such an enor-
nous quantity of water have not been bad,
and give no indication that the sides Of the
canal will be washed down in few years,
an objection that has been SO often urged
against the project.
About two weeks ago the canal commits
sion moved on from Greytown to Lake
Nicaragua, and after visiting Granada and
Managua, the capital passed from Nicara-
qua to the Pacific along the route of the
canal, a distance of about fourteen miles.
This section of the route offers no obstacles
to the construction whatever and will sim
ply be matter of excavation.
