Tho Trnn,Ynnl question.

London dispatches of the 18th
say: All the vessels of the flying
squadron are now assembled at
Spithead, whence, it is rumored,
they will start Tuesday morning.
L learn from official sources that
the statement Of its destination
being Venezuela is unfounded,
and as proof thereof the fact is
instanced that two vessels of the
flying squadron, the Royal Sover-
eign and the Royal Oak draw over
twenty eight feet of water each,
and thus could not approach
Georgetown harbor. Gibraltar
will be the first station of the
squadron.
The Admiralty Department in
forms the Associated Press that
the destination of the flying squad
ron of British war ships now off
Spithead has not yet been deter
mined upon even by the Admiral
ty, and certainly the war ships
are not going to the .Bermudas or
anywhere in American waters at
present.
A Berlin correspondent tele-
graphs under date of Jan. IS:
The week has ended with every
ones thoughts directed to the i'm
perial anniversary. The excite
ment caused by the Transvaal in
cident is gradually abating, and
the newspapers uniformly ex-
press the opinion that this difficult
ty will be adjusted by diplomacy,
although there may be critical
stages of the negotiations. The
anti English spirit, however,
which was aroused by the invasion
of the Boer republic, survives
with full vigor, aud it is signi-
ficant that those in political cir
cles who are in touch with the
Government have the idea that an
open anti English policy will
hencefortb be followed by Ger
many, especially in colonial
affairs.

LONDON THE BEST MARKET.
Ten Carloads Of California Fruit Sold
Yesterday at a Profit.
Eastern Sales, However, Entailed
Loss on Many of the
Shippers.

With all Eastern markets glutted and
fruit selling below cost of transporta-
ton, lucky We're those growers who par
ticipated in the fourth consignment sent
to London, and which left Sacramento
July 2Sth, consisting of ten cars.
J. B. Quigley of the California Fruit
Transportation Company received ca
blegram last evening concerning the
sale in London yesterday. details of
which are as follows:
Bartlett pears (25-fb boxes) brought
from ~ cents to 81 80, principally ST 10;
Souvenir de Congress, Buerre Clair
geau and Buerre Hardy pears Gall 25-fb
from "a cents to 81 A; Japan plums
crates), 81 90; Columbias (half crates),
81 20; German prunes (half crates)
6S cents.
New York prices yesterday were:
Pears (50-fb boxes, 80 cents to 81 10;
peaches, 30 to 80 cents; Japan plums,
81; Egg plums, 60 to so cents; German
prunes, 20 to 80 cents; Columbias, 50
cents.
In London nearly every package
shows net profit after transportation
expenses, while for New York and other
Eastern markets a great many Califor-
MIA growers will be called upon to pay
transportation and refrigerator charges,
in addition to the loss of fruit, cost of
packing, etc.
Yesterdays London shipment sold in
the hight of the French pear season, and
what better testimonial has California
had as to the superiority of its fruit
than that paid it by foreigners in Eng
land? No fear need be felt hereafter
but that California can beat France in
the London market.
Cable adviceS are to the effect that
prospects are bright for shipments to
sell in London during September, and
as proof that this is the judgment Of
the best growers and shippers of Cali
fOrnia, it is only necessary to state
that for the next special train, which
will leave Sacramento on Tuesday, Au-
gust 18th, Frank H. Buck of Vacaville
will alone furnish three cars, and Porter
Brothers Company and it's friends two
cars.
Fruit from down -the-river district is
about all harvested, but shipments from
mountain districts are at high-Water
mark just now.
The California Fruit Growers and
Shippers Association report that 40 car
loads of fruit were started for Eastern
points yesterday, as against AZ cars for
the same day last year. The shipment
consisted of III cars of peaches, Z of

Assembly amendment No. IL to the
November, is called the limited liabil-
ity amendment. 1t provides that in an
Incorporated company under the laws
OF the State, a limitation of the liabil-
ity of stockholders may be provided
for, and that therefore all who deal
with the company are thereby given
present system the stockholder is liable
for the debts of the company, in the
proportion that the sum of his stock
bears to the total amount of stock
Under the limitation system the stock
holder will be liabe to the extent Of the
face value of the shares of the sub
shares have been fully paid up, the
holder of such shares shall not be fur
ther liable to such corporation or asso-
citation, or the creditors thereof on that
account. Each stockholder of a corpor-
alton or joint stock association, whose
capital stock is not fully paid up, shall
be individually and personally liable
for such proportion of all it's debts and
liabilities contracted OF incurred during
the time he was a stockholder or share
holder, as the amount unpaid upon the
stock or shares owned by him bears to
the whole amount unpaid upon the sub
scribed capital stock or shares of the
corporation or association" There
would seem to be no good reason why
this amendment should not receive the
approval Of the people, as it will facil-
itate the aggregation and use of capital
in joint stock enterprises for industrial
promotion and work no injury to cred
itors The limited liability law is in
effect in Louisiana, and is found to
work well, and it has been the system,
in slightly different form, in Europe for
a century.

The adherents of the Democratic plat
form adopted at Chicago have been
driven to the defensive regarding the
plank that "denounces" any arbitrary
interference by Federal authorities in
local affairs" 1t is pointed out that the
the interference of President Buchanan
in the matter of the Lecompton Consti-
tuition; they quote likewise the speech
OF Charles Summer in 1859 denouncing
the President for interfering in the Kan
sas difficulties, and in which he assailed
Judge Taney and the Supreme Court for
the Dred Scott decision. But these
precedents will not do. Even if the
comparison could be justly made it
proves nothing. The matters cited led
up to and eliminated in a civil war that
settled all such issues as gave rise to
interference" More than that, the
interference" to which the Chicago
platform refers was the prompt and just
action of the Federal Government in
1884, in protecting the mail trains and
the movement of interstate commerce
from assault and obstruction by an
army of strikers, operating under the
orders of men who were threatening to
usurp the functions of the Government
and set up dictatorial power over the
law of the land. That this is
what the plank means is demon
strated by the sentence that
closes it, and that is inseparably
linked with it, namely the denunciation
of what is termed government by in
junction" In that the convention may
have been insincere, it may have been
playing to the gallery, and we incline
to think that it was. But that fact in
no wise excuses the infamy of the de-
nunciation, since the removal of the
power Of the courts to restrain from
the doing Of unlawful acts means the
removal of the barriers of saftey to
every mans life and property.
