VISIT FRESN0'S FAN.
The Citrus Fruit Exhibit Praised BY Guests
From Other Portions of the
!Sfufo

FRESNO, CAL, Jan. 5.-The third day
of the citrus fair was by far the most sue.
eessful in point of attendance. There
were 600 people present this evening. when
a sacred concert was rendered by Justly s
band, besides a number of vocal and in
strumental solos by local talent. Enthus-
iasm over the success of the fair and the fine
exhibits of the county's capabilities in the
citrus fruit line has not abated in the
least.
The large, luscious, clean and healthy
looking fruit continue to elicit expressions
of surprise. There have been number OF
visitors from various parts of the State and
all pronounce the fair equal to anything OF
the kind they have ever seen.
Fulton G.. Berry, an extensive citrus
fruit grower of the county and one of the
leading promoters of the fair, was seen by
a CALL representative tonight. Said Mr..
Berry:
1.-The fair has proved to be great success
more so than we expected. Had we
known that we could make such an effect
i've display, we should have arranged to
run excursions from the northern and
southern parts of the State. The benefits
that will accrue from the fair cannot be
overestimate Our own people have been
taught an excellent lesson, as they did not
realize before that we are destined to be
one of the Leading citrus-fruit counties in
the State. The education of our own peo-
pie will naturally have a valuable effect In
bringing the aGaptabilities OF the county
for raising citrus fruits to the notice of
outsiders.
oil H.
from Los Angeles and the other from San
Diego, visited the fair last night, and they
told me that our fruit averages with the
best of their country. One strong point in
our favor is that while fruits in Southern
California suffered during the recent frosts,
not one particle of injury was done in this
county. Mind you, we are giving this fair
three weeks after the crop has been mar
keted."
| Alexander Goldstein, president of the
Cham Der of Commerce, expressed himself
as greatly satisfied with the fair. cit has
clearly been proven" said he, that we
can raise citrus fruits. Our fair is as good
as any ever held in the State, and it's pro
motion was one of the most valuable and
successful affairs ever undertaken by the
Chamber of Commerce"
August Weihe. the San Francisco CAPT.
tallst, who is also an extensive property
owner of this county, arrived on this even
ing's train, and was among the visitors at
the fair tonight.
81 am much surprised at the quality OF
the fruit exhibited here" said he. ''These
oranges are as fine as can be found any
where, and, in my opinion, Fresno will in
lew years have reputation as an orange
center. In the valley oranges can not be
grown very successfully. but no place in
the world is better adapted to raising
citrus fruits than the extensive thermal
belt along the foothills in the eastern part
/ of this county

LONDON, ENG, Jan. ga cable dis
patch from Johannesburg, dated Deem
Der 30, has been received at the Office in
this city of the Johannesburg Standard,
stating that in reply to an address pre-
sented to him by depItation President
Kruger said that the Government would
remove the duties on food stuffs. He also
promised that equal subsidies would be
given to all schools whatever language
might be taught in them, and that the
franchise would be made more liberal.
Nevertheless in the quarters of the CAPT.

The merchants are forming brigade TO

Lionel Phelps and Charles Leonard, three

they made no reply. The community

In the meantime the Boer Government
behaves admirably and allows the freest
speech. The loafers already admit that
they are IN the pay of the capitalists. 1t
is undoubtedly clear case of an attempt
to pick quarrel and grab the golden
treasure of the Transvaal.

Adrocates the Recall of the British En-
6assador From Berlin.


LONDON, ENG, Jan. 5.-James Macken-
zie Mclean, NJ. ?. for the Cardiff District
and proprietor of the Cardiff Western
Mail, has written an article for that paper
in which he says:
Emperor Williams message to Paul
Kruger, President of the South African
Republic, is as deadly and as unprovoked
an insult as was ever offered to the head OF
great European power, and to g nation OF
equal rank. In the face of these repeated
insults from foreign powers. the time
has come to use more effective means
of retaliation than protests that are con-
spicuous for prudence and moderation.
The temper of the English people is ris-
ing. The murmurs among Lord Sails
bury's friends in both houses of Parlia-
ment are becoming louder and deeper
daily.
Emperor William, in procaiming the
right of the Transvaal to receive assistance
from Germany. has tramped upon inter
national law and violated the convention
of 1884. 1t is the clear duty of Lord Sails
bury to demand the withdrawal of the
offensive telegram. If it is not Cancelled he
should Immediately recall the British EN-
bassador from Berlin"

Fireman Miles Found Gas Leak aud an
Explosion as Veil.
CHICAGO, I'LL, Jan. 5.-An explosion
of gas which occurred in the basement OF
the Renforst apartment building at Fifty
second street and Cottage Grove avenue
this afternoon injured two people, badly
frightened number of the fashionable
occupants of the house and did some dam
age to property.
George Miles, fireman, was in the base
ment looking for gas leak with lighted
torch in his hand. AS he entered the
front part of the building an explosion
took place, which threw him about twenty
feet and shook the building sufficiently to
be felt ON the sixth floor, the top of the
house. Miles was severely burned by the
flames which followed. He is in the hos
pitai, but his recovery is expected. Fol-
lowing him in his. search for the escaping
gas was the janitor, Marckus Claus
sen, who was also thrown some distance
and burned, but his injuries were slight.

HURL BACK DEFIANCE.
Britoms Bitterly Resent the Interference
of Germany.

OF GeThlGny.
LONDON, ENG, Jan. 5.-The reporters
of the Morning Post and Daily News tele-
graph that Germans are now less unani-
nous in their approval of Emperor Will
liam's message,
The Times will tomorrow say that Mr..
Chamberlain statement that Great Brit
ain would adhere to the convention of
1884 was concise and adequate, and would
receive the hearty and undivided support
of the people of Great Britain, who were
prepared to defend their Just claims and
repel pretensions inconsistent Herewith,
nc matter from how exalted quarter they
might come. Great Britain could not for
a moment admit that Germany had any
locus standi in the matter. The paper
adds:
We are exhorted in the German press to
secure our position in the world by concil-
iating those who can do US the most in
Jury. When we need that kind of advice
we shall probably seek it in quarters
possessing greater claims to our confidence
and respect. Our reapproachment would
not be with Germany, but with powers she
regards not wholly without apprehension.

ave must not labor under the delusion
that we can stand alone"
Another pretty bit of the igurative dis
course was this: "The clouds directed
their general iourneyings, but not the ex-
cursions that they were all the time making
up to one side. They, therefore, need such
a person as Hobab to direct them on these
trips, who was well acquainted with the
wilderness to point out watering places
and the like"
Verify, Hobab is needed to direct some
of the looked-for excursions this way, and
to point out not only the icicle palace,
but the famous watering places in the
the Sierra wilderness. There was no choir
in the church, and even the oreanist was
away, but valiantly the slender and youth
full clergyman sang us a solo, the conclud-
ing hymn embodying the excursion hopes
of the carnival managers.
Some one will enter the pearly gate,

Visitors continue to come on every train,
and it is expected thai the town will be
well filled this week.

Colonel Bright on. the Location OF the
Democratic Contention.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 5.-Colonel
r.. J. Bright, sergeant-at-arms OF the
Senate, said to THE CALL correspondent
tonight that he believed the National
Democratic Convention would be held In
Cincinnati. Bright is anxious for it to go
there, not only because it Is centrally 10
Gated, but because, he says, 81 would
rather it would be held anywhere than IN
Chicago. l would rather be doorkeeper OF
hades than sergeant-at-arms OF the con-
vention if it is held in Chicago.
"At the convention hele there in 1884

prevent rascally Aldermen, Councllmen
and Cook County Commissioners from
packing the convention.
"They were allowed so many tickets and
endeavored to admit many who ola not
have the necessary pasteboard, but with
the aid of detectives their schemes were
frustrated. / have been in attendance at

VAR OUT OF THE QUESTION.
The London Chronicles Comments Upon
Norn.an's Message.

LONDON, ENG, Jan. 5.-Commenting
on the effect produced by its dispatches
from Washington anent the Venezuelan
dispute the Chronicle will tomorrow say:
We are aware of the magnitude of our
Com missioner's task and the difficulties
which beset him, but we lay down two
general propositions, both testifying to
the soundness of this case. The first is to
accept a situation where it is impossible
for any self-respecting statesman to govern
the British empire with honor. War with
America is to be ruled out of the category
OF things which can even be considered.
The second proposition is to avoid the
.canger of either party shutting the door.
The Government which makes the first
practical advance toward Cancellation will
win the earliest honors in the controversy.
The Daily News in it's issue tomorrow
will say that there is nothing offensive to
Great Britain in the instructions given to
the Venezuelan High Commission. 1t
adds that since serious difficulty may arise
when the commission reports Lord Sails
bury might reasonably suggest to the
American Government some method of
arriving at an honorable settlement.

MANAGER HARNAN IS ALIVE.
He Had Come to the Surface on
the Last Trip Before the
Accident

COLORADO SPRINGS, CoLo., Jan. s.
The work of rescuiEg the eight imprisoned
miners who were caught in the awful
cave-in at the Anna Lee mine at Victor
yesterday morning, and which has been
prosecuted as rapidly as the extremely
dangerous condition of affairs will permit
continues. Victor and the entire Cripple
Creek district are still discussing the terrible
accident, which will no doubt prove a
salutary lesson TO m1ne-owners, whose
sole purpose has been to extract the great
est amount of ore, regardless of the
safety of human life. Victor was crowded
| all day with people, and the Anna Lee
mine has been surrounded by hundreds OF
anxious friends and relatives, who were
eager to learn the latest Developments
which, as the hours slowly rolled by, be-
came more and more discouraging, dissi-
pating the last lingering hope enter
tanned that some of the imprisoned men
might be rescued alive.
The drift from the seventh level of the
Scranton mine, which was started soon
after the cave-in occurred and which was
cut through thirty-fve feet of solid gran
lite, reached the Anna Lee shaft at IL 30
last night From this point down a dis
lance of 200 feet the Anna Lee shaft is
open and tae work of removing the great
masses of rock and broken timbers was
begun. The debris is being dropped to the
bottom of the Lee shaft and when this is
filled the rescue work will be greatly re-
tarded, owing to the fact that the wreck
age will have to be carried through and
hoisted from the Scranton
The cave-in starts at a depth of thirty
five feet, and extends down 700 feet. and at
the point where the Scranton level cuts
through the Lee shaft is one solid mass of
damned rock and timbers, which indicates
too well what crushed and mangled con-
dition the lost IL liners must be in.
At 1870 P. NJ. telephone message esti-
mated that the imprisoned cage was still
fifteen feet above.
General Manager John Harnan, who was
at first reported as lost, is alive, he having
come up on the last trip before the acct
dent. A full and correct list of the men in
the mine follows: Thomas Sheldon,
assistant superintendent, leaves widow and
three children at Denver; w. Z. Loane,
foreman, leaves widow; Joe Dunsmore,
leaves widow and child Thomas Harnan,
single; Patrick May, single; Jack Maloy,
single; Frank McQuirk, single
The lives of all the men are insured, the

pulsory for all of its employees taking this
precaution for the protection of their
families in case of accident or death.

Society, and Frederick D. Green were
present and among the speakers of the af-
ternoon.
small sum of money raised by collec-
ton will be turned over to the Red Cross
Society to help in sending relief commit
tee to Armenia. A committee of twenty

Armenians TO place of safety and to con-
slider means of immediate assistance to

The speakers of the occasion were Rev
A. R. White, Hon. Thomas A. Moran,
Hon. George e. Adams, General O. O..
Howard, DR.. P. S. Henson, Mr.. Green and
Miss Barton. AT the close of the meeting
1t was unanimously agreed that the fol-
lowing cablegram be sent to her Majesty
the Queen of Great Britain and Empress
Of India, and to the Gear of Russia:
We have been looking with horror at the de-
hberate attempt to exterminate peaceful and
historic people, the Armenians. The policy
and traditions of our people are against our
interference by force of arms. We, as citizens
of Chicago, in mass meeting assembled, as fell
low Christians with common ancestry, ap-
peal to you to stop this continued wholesale
slaughter.
If circumstance which your Government
cannot control render this impossible in
Turkey, we respectfully suggest that you, with
or without the cooperation of other powers,
endeavor to arrange for the bringing of the
Armenians to the coast and thence to some
country where their lives viii be spared.
We pledge you the cooperation of our peo-
pie in this undertaking in every possible way
We are sure such hard and industrious and
frugal tilers of the SOIL if cared for until they
become accustomed to their new environ
ments would be gladly welcomed by the peo-
pie of the United States or other countries
GEORGE B. SWIFT, Chairman
The meeting was an enthusiastic one,
and the people present went away feeling
that they had done something which
would eventually aid the Armenians.

TWO CALIFORNIA CASES,
Validity Of the Irrigation Law
Soon to Be Decided at
Washington.
The Suit Against the Stanford Es
tate Will Come Up This
Month.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 5.-The SUI
assemble tomorrow after a fortnight s
holiday recess. The list of cases assigned
for hearing this month contains some nota-
BILE ones, and the arguments will be likely
to attract unusual attention.
Among them are what are known as the
irrigation bond cases from California, one
from the Supreme Court of the State and
States of the District of California
They involve the constitutionality of
the law authorizing the organization of
irrigation districts and the issue of bonds
by the trustees of the same, and the con-
sequent validity of about $20,00000O of
these bonds. The State courts have up
held the law and the Federal court has
said it was unconstitutional.
Ex-President Harrison is expected to ap-
pear in this case, which will probably &C.
cupy the attention of the court in the
week beginning January 20.
In the same week the famous case of the
United States VS.. the administrative of
the estate of the late Senator Stanford of
California will probably be heard.
The interests of Mrs. Stanford and of
the University will be presented by Josenb

ney, whose last appearance before tho
