For American Favors For Orange
and Lemon Crop.
Washington, Dec. 15.-An estimate
Of the coming Italian orange crop
is supplied to the state department,
by United States Commercial Agent
Huntington, at Castellammare, He
says the outlook Of the crop Of Cor
rento oranges promises well as to
keeping qualities, size and quality.
The quantity will be about two thirds
or an average crop. The first cut
commenced November 10; prices open
ed at from $1.50 to $1.55 per box and
the first shipment will reach New
York in time for the Christmas trade.
The new crop Of lemons exceeded that
of last year and the quality is verS fine.
Gathering will begin in May. The
importation of material from America
to make orange boxes has developed
enormously and to prevent loss to the
the Maine producers Mr.. Huntington
suggests that duty be imposed on
boxes made of foreign wood. a duty
on the first itself, oranges and lemons,
however, would destroy the trade en-
tircly and depri, the masses In the
United States of a healthful, cheap
fruit, The walnut and filbert crops
are short in quantity but excellent in
quality. Mr.. Huntington dwells at
some length on the evils that have
resulted from the system practiced
by American fruit exporters last sea-
son of making large advances of mon
ey to Sicilian shippers, in order to Sc.
cure consignments, which he says has
injured American commerce and caus-
ed great loss to Americans.

iod in the afternoon of each day, Re says:
AT Tamatave all the influence OF United
States Acting Consul Wetter was used
against me, and he even went SO far as to
write a letter which he knew the French
officials would read pending my trial. In
this letter Wetter accused me OF being
guilty of a violation of the law and stated
that need not expect any Immediate as
sistance from the government The read
ing OF this letter before the conclusion of
my trial only tended toward influencing the
loSer element tn outrage and spit upon me
under the very shadow of our glorious flag
at Taniatave. When I informed Mr. Wet
ter of the mischief which his letter had
wrought. he replied that he did not care
"You will observe, then, that l had no
protection or aid from any quarter during
all these outrageS committed on me by the
French. These outrages commenced about
four months before my arrest. At one
time was assaulted in my boarding house
by three French soldiers or marines from
the French gunboat Hugon then lying in
the harbor at Tamatave. / made COM

to bring the perpetrators to answer for
the crime.
Another time I was assaulted by the
French soldiers in front of my own door.
no cause whatever that / knew Of Ger

their quarters and visit my house, mile

In closing his letter Mr.. Waller says he

steamer for New York April 4, and that he
would arrive in New York about April ~,
and that he would be in Cedar Rapids

TO PROTECT BANKERS.
A New Idea i'm Checks and Drafts
which May He Useful.

Which May He Useful.
From the San Francisco Examiner
Ever since an unknown man raised q
check from $12 to $4,000. and succeeded in
cashing 1t at the Nevada Bank and escap-
ing with the money. bankers have been on
the lookout for a means Of preventing
such swindles, and men of an inventive
turn of mind have been studying to devise
a'check that shall be proof against raising.
According to one device the size and tint
of the body Of the check vary with the
amount for which it is drawn. Thus, the
pink-colored paper is good for any amount
up to $4,000. The body is seven and a half
inches long. 1t is provided with seven
coupons next the stub. each one-quarter OF
an inch wide. and separated by the blank
Of the same width. They read, beginning
next the body Of the instrument, Not
over $500" mot over $1,000" Not over
Not over Ss,OOO" mot over $4,000" The
body Of the check, with all the coupons
torn off, is not good for more than 500.
Each coupon adds q quarter inch to the
body of the check. Blank checks for more
than $4,000 and up to $4,000 are eight
inches long white, and provided with cou-
pons. For $4,000 up to $4,000 they are blue.
and eight and one-half inches long. The
coupons are similar.
The merit of the invention is said to lie
in the fact that the body of the check can
not be heightened nor coupons added after
they have been torn of. even with the pulp
process. Then. again, the swindler will
the business OF raising checks for large
sums. Thus, in order to raise a check to
$4,000 he must buy one costing not less
than $4,000.
