VERY 0NE-S|DED
The United States Has Discovered
That 1t Has Been BuncOed
by Germany.
SHIPPING TONNAGE TREATY
instead of Being Reciprocity Affair
Turns Out to BE IL Clever
Fraud.

WAsHlNGToN, Dec. 3-The president
has issued proclamation suspanding,
after January next, the operations Of the
act which relieves German vossela enter
ing United States ports from payment OF
tonnage dues and other shipping
charges. This action WAS taken upon
proof that American vessels are donled
corresponding privileges in German
ports. Shipping charges under our lava
are based on sliding scale. The pro8i-
dents action doubtless will arouse wide
spread interest in chipping circles. The
proclamation will go into effect the
morning of January 3, after which date
vessels of Germany entering our ports
must pay shipping charges ranging on
the sliding scale of from to 30 cents
per ton per annum.
The effect OF the presidents proclama-
ton is to reimpose upon vessels entering
from Germany the same tonnage dues
that are imposed on vessels entering the
United States from Great Britain,
France, Italy, Spain and other mari
time nstione in Europe and Asia, Ger
man vessels were excepted in 1888 from
the payment Of the dues under the ship
ping reciprocity act of l1SG.
During the past year, at the request
of the treasury department, the state de-
psrtment had made full investigation
into the charges imposed upon Amerl-
can vessels in German ports, and the
Fact nas been developed ;hat while the
imperial government does not impose
taxes on shipping yet the governments
Of the German marilime states for years
have imposed shipping taxes, so that
there was no real reciprocity.
Asa business proposition, the arrange
ment has been a considerable detriment
to tho United States. Since 1885 the ton.
mage on foreign vessels coming into the
United states has amounted to over IL,
100000 tons, while the tonnage OF Amer
lean vessels entering has amounted to
barely $4,000 tons, The annual lose OF
revenue 10 the United States under this
arrangement las been spproXimately
$4,000, while toe exemptions which
Amenogn vessels would have gained in
German ports would have amounted to
barely 500 Il year. A9 a matter Of fact,
these taxes have beeu leNioI "a Ameri-
can vessels in Gernan ports and
it is understood that the United
States will make claim for the
recovery Of the amount go cXtorted
Beyond this fact the Xemptlon OF Ger
man vessels from tonnage taxes III porte

FRUIT ARRIVING RAPIDLY.
This Week viii be a Busy One for
Shippers.
Bartlett Pears Coming in Fast, and
Prosperous Season is
Anticipated.

This promises to be a lively week
for the fruit men, both growers and
shippers.
The one good fruit crop of the State
this year is that of Bartlett pears, for
which the season is just opening, and
they are beginning to come in from
down-river fruit ranches faster and
faster Before the week is out all the
hands will be on the jump and prob
ably working double shifts to keep the
fruit from accommodating faster than it
can be shipped.
prices are a little better to-day in
New York, Boston and Philadel-
phia, and much better in Chicago, on
sound fruit" said the manager for Por-
ter Bros. yesterday. 1T pays to ship
sound fruit, and / believe that we are
going to ship more sound fruit this
season than ever before. 1 believe we
are going to have a season that will be
prosperous one for the growers. We
will not have much competition with
Eastern fruit according to the reports
Pears are coming in freely from down
the river, and by the last of the week
they will keep us busy. The first ones
are not as large as they will be later,
but they are of good quality"
At Earl Bros. it was ascertained that
the Eastern markets were about the
same. The Boston market was looking
up a little, and the shipments are in
creaSing. ApricotS are little low, as
the market was rushed somewhat, but
better prices will prevail in a day or
two probably. The Georgia and Della
ware crop of peaches is not so heavy as
was expected on account of the cold
weather and curculio, and there will
not be over 600 carloads.
Eighteen carloads of fruit were
shipped from here yesterday, Of which
five were for Chicago, there being one
Of apricots, one and one-fourth of
plums, two and one-half Of pears and
one-fourth of a car of mixed fruits.
Five were shipped to New York-one-
half of car Of cherries, ee-fourths
of car of cots, one-fourth Of car Of
peaches two and one-fourth of plums,
three fourths of pears and one-fourth
of mixed fruits. Boston will get three
cars-one- half of a car of apricots, one
fourth or peaches, one of plums, one of
pears and one-fourth Of mixed fruits.
ST. Paul gets one car-one-fourth of
car of apricotS, one-half of plumS, one
fourth of mixed fruits. Other points get
five cars all told.
Porter Bros. have consigned to Wood,
Gray & Co. of this city a shipment of
oranges of a new variety that is des-
tined to take a high place in the esti-
nation of lovers of the fruit.
1t is called the Late Valencia" and
is grown at the San Gabriel Mission by
John r. Dobbins, although two or three
other orchards of young trees have
been set out by others. 1t Is practically
a seedless orange, ripening, as its name
indicates, much later than the other va
rieties, and has thin, smooth skin,
very sweet, juicy pulp and distinctive
flavor that is very pleasant to the taste
qualities that will make 1t a good
shipper and favorite wherever it goes.

GOSPEL CAR.
Will Soon Depart for the South and
East.

Some three weeks since Charles N.
Crittenton, the evangelist, acccompa-
MED by Charles S. Morton, ]. Carpen-
ter and Frank S. Wallace Ghe latter a
noted singing evangelisD, arrived in
this city from Illinois in their gospel
car on their tour of the country.
The car was in need of an overhaul
ing and was sent to the Southern Pa
cific Company's shops here, where it
has been thoroughly renovated and
made to look like new.
At noon to-day the car will be dedi-
Gated anew to evangelical purposes by
a big meeting at the turn-table in the
center of the railroad company's shop
yard. The services promise to be very
spirited and interesting, and not only
the railroad employees but the public
generally are invited to be present
Mr.. Crittenton is well known to the
people of this city, where he spent sew
eral months a few years ago when he
organized the Florence Mission here.
Evangelists Morton and Carpenter are
said to be very enthusiastic and sue
cesful workers in the same field, while
Mr.. Wallace is the vocalist of the party.
These gentlemen go from here to Los
Angeles, San Diego and New Orleans.

THE APPROACHING CELEBRATION.

From all indications Of preparation
we are going to have in Sacramento this
week what is generally known as IAN
old time celebration of the anniversary
of the birth of the Nation. That is to
say, we will parade In honor of the day,
will glorffy at night to manifest our sat
isfaction with free institutions, and will
hear the Declaration Of Independence
and listen to the words of a chosen ora
tor to quicken patriotic sentiment A
portion of the day Is to be given up to
rational sports, and business. 1t is sup
posed, Will be suspended generally.
There ought to be no doubt about this
last. We should make the day one of
complete cessation of business. or at
least cease to trSde and barter and
sweat in the market place, just as far
as it is possible. There never was
time when it was more necessary to
teach by celebration as we'll as by word
of mouth and every days precepts, the
lessons of patriotism. AS the century
lengthens this need will grow more and
more important for the reason that as
the event cornmemorated the more
recedes into the distance Of the past
1t is more and more necessary to impress
on youth and adult alike the truths Of
free Government and thereby more WV
idly exhibit the dangers and the falla-
cies OF the pessimists who are forecast
ing all manner OF ills for a republican
form of government and proposing all
manner of fanciful things in the way of
alleged reforms for the supposed bet
terment of the people. It is each year
more important to teach the coming
on generation that this country is theirs,
not only to enjoy, but to preserve, and
that It Is worth keeping and saving, and
dying for II need be.

FINN AND HIS PALS
Discharged, But One of Them Re.
arrested for Perjury.

Ed. Finn. John Plummer and Joe
Lannigan, the three boys charged with
having attempted to rob a japanese
named T. Morisuti, at Twelfth and D
streets two weeks ago, were arraigned
in the Police Court yesterday morning.
Morisuti testified that Plummer held
his arms, Finn hit him on the nose and
Lannigan reached into his pocket, TAX
ing therefrom his purse in which was

He, however, made fight for the purse

away.

shortly after the alleged attempt to
rob the Jap, and that they had seen
Morisuti walking along the track with
blood on his face. None of them, how
ever, had seen the difficulty between
the boys and the Jap.
Officer Wilson testified that Plum
mer had told him that Finn had said
prior to the alleged attempted robbery,
Come on, boys, and I'll give that Jap
the strong ARM - The boy did not
say whether Finn had carried out his
intention or not
officers Bagley and Maley testified to
having arrested the boys, and it was
sought to be proved by the latter that
Pulmmer had confessed that they had
robbed a man at Eleventh and H
streets on the previous night, but OBJ
lection was made by the defense and
sustained.
The defendants all denied the rob-
berry when put on the stand, but Finn
admitted that he struck the Jap, say
ing that his comrades were several
yards away.
The case was submitted without ar
gument and the prisoners were dis
charged. Plvmmer was arrested i'm
mediately upon his release, however, on
charge Of perjury in relation to his
testimony, and Finn was taken to the
County Jail to serve out his ninety
day sentence for contempt of court in
not appearing before Judge Hinkson as
witness in the Davis robbery case.

The Directory of the South African
Company has accepted the resignation
of Cecil Rhodes. That means, if any
thing at all, that the Directory is con-
vinced that Rhodes is guilty in the pub
lie Judgment of the attempt to steal the
Transvaal, and that the company can
not afford to defy . public judgment.
Now the English Government should do
it's duty, and demand the resignation of
the Directory, or what is better recall
the charter. For it is perfectly certain
that if Rhodes was guilty of the Jane
son numbering expedition-it was noth-
ing else, there not being any state OF
war-the Directory, which knew of all
his movements and had to pass upon all
of his propositions. knew what he was
about and approved it. The Directory
is, practically, the company, and though
some shareholders may not have known
of the contemplated theft and the hll-
clustering expedition, most of them, es-
pecially the heavy ones did, and every
mothers son of them would have ac-
cepted his share of the plunder had
Jameson succeeded and with no qualms
of conscience about being a fence.
Therefore the right thing to do is for
England to take the charter. distribute

susceptible of division, and hereafter ad-
minister all South African concerns

Governor Budd yesterday issued the

mour appeared for the plaintiff, and AL
vim ]. Bruner for the defense.
1t seems that Jean carried a 500 pol
icy on house and barn owned by him
several miles UP the river, issued in
September, 1891. Since then the house
was destroyed by fire, but the insur-
ancy company declined to pay the $500
demanded, on the ground that the
building was not occupied at the time
of the fire.
The plaintiff holds that this fact cuts
no figure, as it was unoccupied when

It Is very gratifying to learn that the
demand for macadam road material
upon the States rock-crushing plant
at Folsom is far in advance of the ca
pacity of the works. This disposes of
the fear entertained by some that the
rock would not be called for by the
people.
Cold comfort the Democracy and the
Populists get out of the Oregon cleo
ton. What they first claimed as a
victory turns out to be a clean cut tri-
umph for the Republicans in the late
election, not a Democrat or Populist
being chosen.
1t is almost 1udicrous. this struggle
Of the Democratic press to change the
issue Of the campaign and put to the
rear everything but the silver craze.
The Democracy is not in position to
discuss the tariff question. Its exper-
imenting in that direction in the past
makes it play shy of the present. It's
desperate effort to obscure the great
issue, protection to American industry
and production, really excites pity, and
it's coquetting with the Populists and
the "ismists" of all degrees suggests the
vain endeavor of an ancient maiden to
