APPLES PLENTIFUL.
The Crop Will be Nearly as Large
as Last Year, Which Was

II
as Last Year, Which Was a
Phenomenal Year.
New York, Oct. 29.-Through-
out the states of chief commercial
production, including New Eng
land and New York, the crop
of winter apples is large, accord
ing to the special report in the
New England Homestead, which
places the aggregate yield at a
shade under 59,000,000 barrels
for all the United States, against
60,500,000 barrels in 1895, and
100000 two years ago. This
authority says the crop in New
York, New England, Michigan
and parts of a few other states
is phenomenal. New York and
New England alone have 10000
600 barrels, against a little more
than 100000 barrels a year ago,
while Michigan is harvesting
the greatest crop of fine fruit
ever seen in that state,
The report covering the central
west, however, shows that in
many istances the crop is in
sufficient to supply home require
ments. The Canada crop is a
mong the largest on record. Ex-
ports from the Atlantic coast are
already 100000 barrels or a
third more than all of last season
and the foreign markets have a
capacity for absorbing further
vast quantities before spring.

every part long before the hour ap-
pointed. The inaugural prayer was Of
fered by President Woodruff of the

diction was pronounced by Rev. DR.. T.

Capetown.

British Troops Now Rushing Into
Capetown.
NEW YORK, Jan. Ga special cable
dispatch to the Evening Sun" from
London says: The news from the Trans
vaaI Republic, which the British For
eign Office has been suppressing, turns
out to be of the most sensational de-
seription. The London Consul of the
Transvaal Republic is authority for the
statement that he has received a pri-
vate dispatch from Johannesburg, an
nouncing that DR.. jameson has been
rescued by the Uitlanders. The pre-
sumption is that a rising has occurred,
and that the Beers who had the GUS
tody of Jameson and his men have
been overwhelmed.
The same dispatch also states that
the British Government is rushing
troops to Cape Town. Twelve hundred
soldiers left Bombay yesterday, and
more are to follow.
LONDON, Jan. 6.-Frequent and
prolonged conferences have taken place
throughout the day among Joseph
Chamberlain, Secretary of State for the
Colonies, G. j. Goschen, First Lord of
the Admiralty, and the heads of the
War and Admiralty Departments. Gen.
eral Lord Wolseley, Commander-in-
Chief of the British forces. and the en-
tire headquarters staff. busted them
selves at the Horse Guards until a late
hour tonight.
The Colonial Office has heard nothing
Of the alleged rising of the Uitlanders
against President Kreuger of the
Transvaal Republic, nor have the au-
thorities of that Office received any in
formation that DR.. Jameson has been
rescued by the UitIanders. Both re-
ports are discredited by the colonial au-
thorities.
In regard to the report that the Brit
ish Government is rushing troops into
Cape Colony, and the story that 1,200
soldiers left Bombay yesterday and
more are to follow, it is learned at the
War Office that no troops have been
specially ordered to the Cape. The only

both, not at the option Of the holder,
but exclusively at the option of the
Treasury Department, and the notes
commonly called greenbacks when so
redeemed shall be reissued as provided
by the Act of May 81, 1878.
This measure was agreed upon at a
conference of the silver men of this
committee this morning, all the silver
men being Democrats but Mr.. Jones of
Nevada. Immediately upon the reas-
sembling of the full committee this bill
was presented and vote called for.
There was no debate. The bill was read,
and, by a vote of s to 5, a favorable re-
port was ordered to be made The re-
port will be made to the Senate to-mor-
row by Mr.. Jones of Arkansas. Whether
there will be protracted debate remains
to be seen. The result can be easily
foretold. The majority in the Senate in
favor Of free coinage is at least ten,
and it may reach a dozen.

an event rarely occurring in Washing

room, and the audience rose to its feet,
remaining standing until the members
of the court were seated. Mr.. Peckham
took seat just below the bench, along
side the Clerk, ]. H. McKenney.
Order being restored, Chief Justice
Fuller said: 1T gives me pleasure to an
nounce to the gentlemen of the bar that
Rufus w. Peckham, citizen of the State
of New York, has been appointed to a
seat on this bench. Mr.. Peckham is
present and prepared to take the oath
after his commission, which will be en-
tered on the records of the court, has
been read by the Clerk"
Mr.. McKenney read the commission,
and took a copy of the oath in his hand:
the new Justice read it in a firm, fine
tone. During this the court and audi
ence were standing, and remained so
until Justice Peckham had taken his
seat at the extreme left of the bench,
next to Justice Shiras, until now occu-
pied by Justice White. AS he stepped on
the platform Justice Shiras welcomed
him with a hand-shake, and all the
members with a formal bow. Return
ing this, Mr.. Peckham dropped into the
luxurious arm chair provided, and the
