FROST AFTER
 THE DROUGHT lee in the Salinas Valley Injures the Fruit
 Crops.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALINAS. March 24.-For the first time in over twenty-sev years ice one-ouarter of an inch thick formed in this section at this season Of the wear. The heavy frost has injured the fruit crops in the valley to an lrrepar- able extent, and the continued dry weather added thereto has killed all prospects of more than a third of the crop of grain this year. The outlook is terrible for the farmers and every one looks for a repetition of the hard times of 1876-77. Cattle are selling at any price and hay Is being held at $20 ton. with very little in sight. Heavy rains might help to small extent, but not much.
 WOODLAND March 24.-Farmers and fruit growers within the district that is under the Moore ditch system of irrigation are clamoring for water. The dam washed out last year and has not yet been rebuilt, but work will be commenced on it in a few days. Water can be turned on in ten days after work is commenced. The company owns the right of way to about fifteen miles of ditch, but it supplies private ditcheS sixty or seventy miles in length. Water is low in Cache Creek but the flow is still sufficient to irrigate large area of grain and alfalfa lands and orchards. STOCKTON, March 24.-Within two weeks irrigation will be in general use on the reclaimed lands unless rain falls before then. At high tide the water of the San Joaquin River is three feet above the less elevated fields of grain, making irrigation possible without
 pumping. In some places the levees
 will be cut, and in others siphons will r1Jr the tons of fhp ha nk- ments. A siphon for this purpose is now being made. It is a foot and a half in diameter. A main supply ditch is run along the inner side of the levee from which lateral ditches a hundred yards apart extend into the field Far mers on the islands say with no more rain or irrigation they will harvest from twelve to fifteen sacks of grain to the acre, and with artificial irriga- tion the crop will be the average for the 70 .OO0 acres. The 13,0OO acres on the reclamation district is now being seeded to beans and potatoes, with 10, 900 acres of grain.
 The outlook for the wine crop in this section is very encouraging to-day. In spite of the dry winter the vines and developing buds look healthy It is expected that the middle of April will see the punches begin development and if no late frostS come a good crop may be considered assured. The dissatis- faction expressed here last year against the State association controlling the State output is even more pronounced than last season, as the smaller growers recognize that they must accept the prices scheduled.
 SANTA ROSA, March 24-The peach crop of Sonoma County was greatly damaged by the recent frost Apricots and cherries were also injured.

He repudiated the statements of the
adversaries of the law that Lincoln and
Grant believed in the spoils system.
During his review of the records OF
eminent men on this question. MIR.
Johnson became involved in a contro-
versy with his colleague. Mr.. Lands.
republican of Indiana. and during the
crossfire, the galleries became so OBJ
streperous in their applause of the posi-
ton of the latter that the chair was
obliged TO suspend the debate and ad-
monish the spectators that such DEM
onstrations must cease.
In enumerating the evils of the spoils
system. Mr.. Johnson said IL made COW
ards of legislators, stormed the white
house. interfered with the departments,
stretched into the capitol and shaped
legislation; ii exalted the office-breaker
and attacked, villifed and illuminated
the conscientious man. Words, he de-
clared, could not do justice to the in
fanny of this prolific evil, which had
debauched the civil service. 1t seemed
incredible to him that men could dare
advocate a return of this saturnalia.
The talk of a civil pension. he said, was
a buga boo, designed To frighten the de-
Tenders of the merit system. An an-
preparation for civil pension could not
command half dozen votes in either
house or secure the executive approval.

Mr.. johnson attributed the present
"discordant and disgraceful scene" now
being enacted in Ohio, with its visions
of senatorships going glimmering, TO
the scramble for spells. state and ma
tional, and said that the sureSt way to
put Bryan and his black banner in the
white house in 1900 would be for the
republican party to be recreant TO its
trust and slap in the face those who be-
lieved in an honestly conducted service.
Without desiring in, any way to reflect
upon the present occupant of the white
house, Mr. Johnson said he was con-
WINGED that there could be no genuine
civil service reform until by constitu-
tional amendment the president was
made ineligible for reelection. As long
as he was eligible for reelection he
must necessarily be more or less under
the domination of machine politics.

order of the Red Eagle on Baron Won
Buelow, the German foreign minister,

The newspapers. with the exception of

ing remarks at England's expense. The
Nossische Zeitung, however, points cut
that there is plenty of room for every
