CONSTANTINOPLE April 25-Miss
Clara Barton has drawn up the follow

her relief work in Asia Minor:
1t should be understood that one OBJ
ject of our expedition in the field at this

has expressed a desire to take part in

by our people, and it can be planted if no
other seed Is provided. The two expedi-

suffering the agonies of four distinct

THE MINING BOOM
Three Brokers Shut Out by Yssterday's Rise

Day, but 1t was fatal to at least three
brokers, whose failures We're announced

Guilty are Charles p. Harris, E. l.. Atkin-
son and H. L. Fox. The various
amounts in which the firms have failed
is unknown, but it will require six fig-
ures to designate the totsl.
The furry in the stock market was
caused several days ago by the finding
or good streak of gold ore in the
Brunswick lode, which parallels the
Comstock The Brunswick lode is own
ed by the principal Comstock mining
companies, and the result was steady
rise in Comstock. Only few days ago
Chollar stock begged buyers at 80 cents.
The news of the Brunswick discovery
doomed this stock, until yesterday it
reached $3.50, while today the bids reach
ed to $2.25. All the Comstock companies
felt the boom, and as the market went
up short sellers like Harris and Atkin-
son found themselves unable to buy and
were practically shut out.
Consolidated Virginia on the first of
May was quoted at $1.65, and at the close
of the market yesterday the figure was
$2.S5. Today the stock reached SO, but
closed at $3.50 Short sellers, who were
forced to buy and sell from day to day

were inevitable.

Reported-Aprcots and Almonds

| SACRAMENTO, May S.-The state
horticultural society met in the su-
preme court room in the capitol build
ing today and opened with a general
discussion of the damage done by frosts.
The speakers were j. r. Boyne of Yuba
City, l. H. Thomas of Visalia. H. NJ. La
Rue and John Markley. The reports
were all very favorable and it seems
that although the frost has done some
harm the damage has been confined to
certain localities and is not general On
low lands around Loomis grapes We're
almost entirely killed
Ed F. Smith said he could report from
the north of San Joaquin county, The
frosts had badly injured the apricot
crop and the almonds had been injured
fully one-half. Prunes had been hurt
some. On trees planted this year the
young shoots had been destroyed but he
thought this would enable the trees to
bear heavier crop next year.
Erskfne Greer said that Sacramento
county had been very fortunate The
peach crop was badly injured, however.
and the fruit was dropping badly. In his
orchard plums were good. The grapes
IN sacramento county were in good con-
dition and he did not think the loss
would be 10 per cent.
Around Natoma the grapes did not
seem to be injured at ALL There would
not be near as large a crop of strawber-
ries as in former years. The cherries in
some localities would be about half a
crop. In other localities it would not
be quarter of a crop.
The peach crop along the Sacramento
river would be fairly good but the prune
and apricot crops would be light.

This afternoon Prof. E. W. Holgard
of the State University delivered a lee
ture on The Irrigation of Deciduous
Fruits. At the conclusion of the pro
fessor's lecture there was a general dis
cussion of the irrigation problem. One
story told was of a man who once each
year flooded his orchard to a depth of
two feet or more and gave it no more
water during the year. For two or three
seasons he had an immense crop of
splendid fruit. but in few years his or
