certainly result in the extension OF the
shipments of dried and canned fruits from
California to Europe.
The amount necessary TO pay the ex-
penses of the enterprise is $4,000, of which
the Board of Trade now has for that use
$1,000. The balance should be promptly
raised by the counties most interested.
This duty being attended to success will
be assured, for there is no doubt about the
excellence of the exhibits which can be
sent. Several splendid packs have al
ready been promised.
The benefits to be derived are obvious to
any one who will consider the facts in the
case. California dried and canned fruits
can be sold in Europe at profit, and they
are of better quality than those now on
the market there. Secretary Filcher OF
the State Board of Trade says that he has
recently had a number of applications
from Europe asking about California
fruits and where to purchase them. Last
year only ten carloads were shipped to
Europe, and this year there were 49,

on the part of our it-growers the people
within the German empire would buy at
profit to the producers half the dried
fruits put up in California. Hamburg, it
must be rememb ered, is the greatest COM
mercial city of the continent OF Europe.
Last year the tonnage of that port was
$3.50, 600, and exceeded Liverpool by about
5000 tons. In the last ten years the
tonnage of Liverpool has increased 40 per
cent while that of Hamburg grew 20 per
cent.
To have fine display of our horticul-
tural products on such all occasion in such
a worlds mart as Hamburg would surely
lead to the much talked-of market extern
sion for dried and canned fruits. 1t is a
golden opportunity, which should be
grasped with eager hands.

WORK FOR CONGRESS.

1t is not probable the session of Con-
gress which begins to-day will undertake
much, if any, legislation of partisan
character. The condition of the Senate is
such that no measure of such a nature
would have much prospect of success, and
consequently if anything is attem pied in
the way OF tariff or monetary legislation
it will he at best no more than a COM
promise.
The short sessions of Congress rarely
achieve much beyond the passage OF rou-
tine appropriation bills. The present
session, however, has an opportunity OF
improving upon its predecessors in this
respect, for there will be much work be-
fore il of a non-partisan character, and
some OF these measures are of such inn
portsnce they are not less in public inter-
est than even the great issues on which
parties are divided.
OF these the three most important will
be the sett lement of the Pacific roads
debt. the Nicaragua canal and measure
to promote the expansion of our commerce
by the upbuilding of an American mer-
chant marine. In all of these California
will be interested, and particularly in the
funding bill. The session therefore, for
us at any rate, will be as interesting as
any that has been held for long time,
and our delegation at Washington will be
kept busy in looking after the interests of
the State.
In addition to these measures of general
interest there will be many others of con-
siderable importance under consideration
during the winter. Among them may be
noted bill already before the Senate to
provide for the establishment of Depart
ment of Commerce and one which will
probably be introduced to establish a De-
partment of Mines and Mining. The
question of immigration restriction will re-
ceive attention, and probably some inl-
portant amendments will be made to the
existing law. Another bill which will be
brought up for decision at this session
will be that of Congressman Loud to cure
the abuses of the law relating to second
class mail matter; and finally there will
be the Wadsworth bill for the creation of
a Bureau of Animal Industry for the in
spection of meat intended for use as food
either at home or abroad.
When it is remem bered that the total
number of bills now before the House and
in the hands of its committees is in excess
of 400, it will be seen that it will have
enough to do even if it makes no attempt
at tariff legislation. This fact will prob
ably have much influence in determining
the decision of the Republican caucus in
regard to the policy to be pursued on the
subject OF tariff reform. If any attempt
is made at devising tariff, that will be
of course the chief fight of the session, but
otherwise We may expect the main inter-
est to center in the struggle over the
funding bill.

THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.

The annual report of Secretary Francis
of the Interior Department furnishes an
indirect but strong argument for the es-
adjustment of a Department of Mines
and Mining. This is done by making it
clear that the work of the Interior is too
vast and various for any single branch of
the Government and cannot be we'll car
ried on under present conditions.
The Secretary asks for additional build
ings for the department ana In urging
their prompt construction says:
The area of our country. the variety of it's
products, the diversity of its interests the
trade and social relations between localities
and classes of people make It's internal COM
merce of enormous magnitude and must from
time to time necessitate enlargement OF its
existing Government bureaus and the estab-
lishment of additional ones. Provisions for
the aocomm odauon thereof should no longer
be delayed.
A cursory reading of even the digest of
the report sent out by telegraph will show
how overloaded the Interior office is. The
report covers such important matters as
public lands, Indian tribes, irrigation, PEN
sions, railroads and the Nicaragua canal.
Each of these divisions includes impor-
tant subdivisions, such as homesteads, for
estry. mineral lands and Pacific roads
debts. So large and so varied, indeed,
were the subjects with which he had to
deal that from the summary of his report
which has been given out the Secretary
seems to have found no space in which to
make any notice whatever of the mining
industry.
With so many kinds of Governmental
work to.attend to it is not to be wondered
at that the Secretary wishes more bureaus
for taking charge of special branches of
the work and more Office room for the
workers. 1t would seem, however, that
the best solution of the problem would be
the creation Of other departments to take
control of some of the more important
branches of the work now intrusted to the
Interior. Two additional departments
have, In fact. been spoken Ozone OF COM
merce and the other of mines. Each of
these is sufficient to justify the supervi-
sion of Cabinet official and there would
still be work enough left in the Interior
office to tax the energies of even the great
est statesmen.
The growth of the United States in
population, wealth and industry neces ST.
tates periodical engagements of the de-
partments of the Government. The SUI
pervision which was sufficient few years
ago is inadequate now and will be wholly
incompetent in a short time. The work
of the Interior must be subdivided in or
der that justice may be done to the great
industries affected by its management,
and among them none better merits de-
partment OF its own than that of mines
and mining
