condition, the fruit was packed much
more carefully than that from other
countries. The cases were first lined
with white paper and sheets were placed
between every layer of fruit. Each
orange was separately wrapped in the
ordinary manner. Oranges from the
Holy Land never have been seen in Chi .
cago before, and these attracted much
attention. They were grown in the
district between Jerusalem and Jaffa.
They are worth from 81 to 81 SO case.
Spain and Northern California are
also new competitors in the Chicago
market this season. 1.-THE orange situa-
alton is remarkable" said George w.
Barnett of the firm of Barnett Brothers.
He added: "With the 100000 or a..
100000 cases of Florida out of the
market this year dealers have had to
seek fresh fields for stock. Spain, whose
fruit in ordinary years wouldn't pay
freight charges, has sent over consider
able quantities this year, which are now
selling at from Sc to $3.50 double case.
The greater part of the stock has been
sold in New York, because here it comes
into competition with the California
and Mexican crops. If it had not hap
pened that the California fruit ripened
two weeks ahead of the ordinary time
we should have had to denend entirely
on the supply from Mexico, and prices,
which are high enough already, would
have advanced still further.
Never before was the orange market
supplied from such remote and diverg-
ing points as this season. North and
South California, Florida, Mexico.
Jamaica, Valencia, Jaffa,' Jerusalem,
are chief among them.-Chicago Record.

Oranges From Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is now competing with
Mexico and California for the orange
trade of Chicago. The other day five
cases appeared in South Water street,
the appearance of which soon attracted
the curiosity of the commission men,
who. had never before seen any such
packages. To the ordinary spectator
they were simply wooden boxes secured
with strips of green timber, but to the
experienced handlers of produce they
differed entirely from the usual run of
cases.

and the yelloA fruit came in view a

Italian Oranges and Lemons.

From Washington comes the report
from United States Commercial agent
Huntington, at Castelalmare, Italy that
the orange crop this season will be only
two-thirds of an average. and that prices
are high, varying from 81 to $l.25 per
box in Italy.
Consul Seymour, at Palermo, reports
that by reason of drouth Italian citrus
fruits are later in ripening this year and
that lemons command nigh price there.
The lemon crop is reported large but
somewhat injured by insects.-Ex.

Gold Storage of Fruit.


1t is probable that the art of preserv-
ing fresh fruit in cold storage is yet in
it's infancy. So long as ice remains the
only available agent for this purpose the
expense attending it's use will doubtless
prevent much change in present customs,
but when practical machinery has been
perfected for preservation BY sterilized
air it would seem reasonable 60 expect a
cold-storage room at every shipping
station, and upon every large farm, in
which growers could retain their fruit
during any temporary glut. Preservation
by the expansion of compressed air is
theoretically the ideal method. The
original compression sterllizes the air
by the heat developed, destroying the
bacteria which excite fermentation in
the fruit. The experiments of Rev. Mr..
Perkins in this state demonstrated the
practicability of applying the principle
to fruit in closed chambers, and main
tanning it in good condition for a long
time. The object Of Mr.. Perkins how
ever, was to devise workable machinery
for preserving fruit in transit, and in
this there are very serious mechanical
difficulties to surmount. While his ex-
periments seemed promising the result
never, in the opinion Of mechanical
engineers on this coast, justified any i'm
portant investment in cars, and for the
continued experiments which were
necessary to perfect the invention Mr..
Perkins had not the means.
About a year since, he resigned his
position here and went East in the ex-
pectation of interesting capital there in
the ENTERPRISE How we'll he has sue.
ceeded we are not informed, as no refer
ence to the matter in the press has come
to our notice.
A practical working apparatus for
this purpose, which could be successfully
applied to single cars in moving trains,
so as to insure preservation of the fruit
under all circumstances, and wherever
a Car might 60, and whose cost should
not be prohibitory, would be of great
profit to the inventor, and great boon
to the fruit industry. The principle is
well known and open to any one to apply.
The difficulties are entirely mechani-
cal. The work can be done now in full
trains, although it is not known at what
cost, but the apparatus that can be at
tached to any car and receive it's power
from any locomotive to which 1t might
happen to be attached and which could
be trusted to go anywhere without an
attendant, has yet to be devised. Doubt
less many engineers are considering the
subject, and some one sometime will hit
upon the right thing. That will open
the way to air preservation anywhere,
and then we may expect local cold
storage owned by farmers, local Eastern
cold storage in small towns, a great ex.
tension of our fresh fruit season, and a
&. great extension of our markets.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS.
.J ohm R. Tanner Nominated for Governor.
 Making Slow Progress.

Springfield, H., April 29.-The repre- sentatives of the republicans of Illinois assembled in the state convention this afternoon for the purpose of placing in nomination a state ticket and selecting delegates at large to the national con- yention al St. Louis.
 The report of the committee on perma- nent organization named Senator O. F. Berry of Carroll for chairman, and he was escorted to the platform.
 Senator Berry spoke at length on pro- lection and reciprocity. Without effect dng permanent organization, the con- Wention al 1 05 took a recess until 2 D. m. JAS the crowd was filing out delegat te in the body of the hall mounted a chair and read a dispatch announcing that the re- publicans of Vermont had instructed for Mckinley. This was greeted with loud cheers, and a blue silk banner, with picture of the Ohio statesman, which had been smuggled into the hall a few mo- ments before, was waved aloft.
 When the delegates reassembled at 2:15 Senator Berry was presented as perma- nent chairman, and addressed the con- Vention.
 When Chairman Berry concluded the committee on credentials reported that there were no contests, and that each congressional district was fully repre- scented. Nominations for governor were in order at o'clock, and the name of Capt John R. Tanner of Clay county was submitted by Ex-Senator H. T. Hagle of Tanners home, and seconded by M. B. Madden of Chicago.
 The acoustic properties of the structure were execrable, and the speeches were little more than dumb shows.
 Congressman Albert J. Hopkins was nominated by s. G. Hanchett of Aurora.
 pr. Robbins of Quincy was also named, and ballot was ordered at $40 p: m.
 The first ballot gave Tanner 1106, Hop- kins 160 and Robbins 69. The selection was made unanimous, and Captain Tan- ner was escorted to the platform, and made a graceful speech of acceptance.
 For leutenant-governor W. A. North cutt of Greenville, Theodore s. Chapman of Jersey and David Ross of LaSalle were named without speeches. The con- vention at this point was in such an up- roar and confusion that the order of business was suspended for several moments.
 The first ballot resulted in no choice.

 Cincinnati, April 29.-Photographer Ciarlo was the first witness in the Jack son trial today. He produced several pictures taken of Pearl Ryan's body and different parts of it, which were passed to the jury for examination.
 Mrs. Sarah Zeither, who lived on the Licking pike, was called to the witness stand and said she met Jackson and Walling on her way to Newport and that they insulted her.
 Mrs. Alice Heifel testified that some time after midnight on the morning of February she heard vehicle pass her house on the road leading to the Alex andria pike.
 pr. Edward Freeman, professor of sur gerry in the Electic Medical college, was placed on the stand. Attorney Hayes put a hypothetical question, in which the condition of the body was described. The doctor answered positively and with out hesitation that decapitation must have taken place during life
 Could the condition of the blood On the leaves have been produced by nov ing the body if the head was severed after death?"
 Tt could not, except by some person sprinkling blood on the leaves"
 At the afternoon session Dr. Freeman said if chloroform or coacaine had been administered the victim would have reused when decapitatien was attempted.
 Dot Letnger identified the valise left by Jackson in his fathers saloon and also identified the prisoner.
 At AIS p. m. the prosecution closed.

On the second ballot Northeutt was chosen. This was the sum total of the work accomplished by the convention in a session of nearly Six hours. This show ing was due in part to the dilatory methods of the machine managers, who were anxious to secure whatever could be gained by another night of missionary effort and in part to the atrocious acous- tics of the big globe like structure, which render it necessary for every announce ment from the chair, motion and roll call to be yocifercat ted in turn, party like by strong lunged attaches stationed in the center and opposite ends of the hall. The introductory and nominating speeches, made for the most part by chosen repre- sentatives of the opposition, were drawn long out. Captain Tanner, upon being presented after his nomination, spoke for thirty minutes, although not more than 100 people in his immediate vicinity heard a word of what he said, and the bulk of the delegates and spectators kept up tempest of ironical cheering.
 Their methods, however. had the in- tended effect, and when dusk came the vast audience was tired out. Neverthe- less It overwhelmingly voted down res olution to adjourn until Monday. Nom ina tions for secretary of state were de- clared in order This was threatened upsettng of the plans of the opposition. There was a hurried conference with the chair, and a resolution to adjourn was put in the direction and declared carried. and the chair was vacated before tenth of the delegates were aware of the situation.
 EX-Senator Calhoun, Mckinley man, mounted a bench to protest, but there was no chairman to recognize him, and the throng melted away.
 All the speakers today avoided mention of the names of the various republican candidates for the presidency. Congress- man Hopkins made an eulogistc refer ence to Mckinley in speaking of him af- ter his defeat for governor, but few heard what he said and no great amount of en- thusiasm was manifested. The action of the Vermont convention was circulated over the floor and employed as an argu- ment by the McKinleyites with the unin- structed delegates.
 The committee on resolutions prepared a platform this afternoon, which will be presented to the convention tomorrow. It is principally devoted to denunclation of the Cleveland administration The financial plank is as follows:
 Resolved, That we, the republicans of Illinois are unyielding and emphatic in our demands for honest money. We are opposed, as we ever have been, to every and any scheme that will give to this country a currency in any way depre- ciated or deba sed, or in any respect in- ferior to the money of the most advanced and intelligent nations of the earth. We favor the use of silver as currency, but to the extent only and under such re- strictions that parity with gold can be maintained.

A Filibuster Captured.

A fli1DuSuef OdpIureu.
 Havana, April 29.-The Spanish gum boat Mesagera has captured near Der racos on the northern coast of the prov ince of Pinar del Rio, the American schoon Competitor of Key West, loaded with arms and ammunition, for which she was seeking a landing place. On board of the schooner were the rebel leaders Alfredo Labordo, Dr. Bedia, cor respondent of Fl Mosquito, Key West newspaper, and three others, all of whom were arrested. The schooner's cargo consisted of 3S, 900 cartridges of different make and designed for different styles of weapons many packages of dynamite and a large number of cases containing Mauser and Remington rifles. The yes sel and her cargo, together with her prs- oners, were brought to Havana. The schooner Competitor is a vessel of 45 tons, 72 feet inches long, 20 feet wide and inches in depth She was built at Bellport, Long Island, in 1867. Her American record gives the names of her captain and owner respectively as A. Albury and s. Pindar, and her hailing port as Key West.
 Consternation at Key West.
 Key West. Fla, April 29.-The news of the capture of the schooner Competitor caused intense excitement in this city. Many of the young men said to be on board of the ill-fated schooner leave families in this city who have the sym pathy of the entire community. A pas senger on the Mascotte tonight reports that he saw about twenty men, one woman and child being landed on the dock. all in chains. Among the men he reports seventeen Americans. Laborde. Dr. Bedia and a young man supposed to be Ambrosio Urbach were on board the gunboat also in chains. According to an extra published in Havana this morning there were only four men captured-La- borde, Dr. Bedia, who is a correspondent of the newspaper published in this city called Fl Mosquito, and two others-ba- sides 38,00O rounds of ammunition, sev- eral cases of Winchester rifles and large quantity of dynamite. It is thought by many that part of the expedition had landed.
 The explosion at the captain-generaFs palace in Havana almost completely de- molished the building. The building is being propped on all sides to keep 1t from falling.
