CONSCIENCE MONEY.
Some Clear Gains Made by Uncle

There is IN the Treasury Department
an account designated as the Con
science Fund" which was opened by
The Register OF the Treasury in 1911,
and IS made up of moneys received by
tho United States Government from un-
known persons. The aggregate amount
Of this fund up TO last September was
500. .592 ~ Reinittances came every
few days: sometimes two or three Will
be received in one week. The letters
transmitting this money are rarely
signed, unless. as is sometimes the case
they are sent by priests OF ciergymen
at the request OF the penitents. 1t is
Impossible, of course when the COM
munications are anonymous, to receipt
for this conscience money, but acknow-
ledgment Of it is invariably made
through the local press. The largest
amount received ut any one time was
IS. 600 in Treasury bills. which were
made into a package and then cut in

in different mails. The smallest
amount was two cents, IN the form of

CONGRESS.
Republican Leaders of the House
Pressing for Early Adjournment.

WASHINGTON, March 1o-The Re
publican leaders of the House arc
pressing for an early adjournment and
it is said that their course meets the
full approval of the President. All save
three of the appropriation bills have
gone to the Senate. The postofIice bill
was taken up in the House to-day. and
the Appropriations and Navy Commit
tees are working daily to get the last
two bills, the general deficiency and
naval, into the. House. The action Of
the Appropriations Committee in pre-
pairing the general deficiency bill at
this time is the best evidence of the
intention of the leaders to secure an
early adjournment.
The Democrats of the House gener-
ally favor an early adjournment, al
though there is not unanimity among
them on this point. Neither is here
a complete harmony on the Republican
side Of the House as to an early adj
journment. Many of the Republicans
| believe that Congress should remain in
session until the Cuban question is fin
ally and eifectually closed up, but they
would hardly go to the extent Of or,
posing the wish OF the leaders and the
administration

arrangement viii depend entirely upon

CROP OUTLOOK.
While Rain is Needed, the Outlook
is Still Fair.

STOCKTON. March 15-Accoriiag to
special mess ges received by the Mail"
TO- day from many points in this coJaty,
and from Modesto and Oakd9le, n stan
isIaus County, there is still good
chance of first-rate crops of grain IN
this part Of the San Joaquin Valley. IN
almost every instance the statement IS
made that grain is still able 10 stand a
few days more. and provided there is
sCme rain within the next week or ten
days, there will be more than an aver
age crop. As result of the frcsc night
before last aoricots were killed at Lin
den and it did some damage - that
fruit at AcamDo. 1t rained Il little in
Stockton to-day. and large ttaizes of
srcw fell though not enough to cover
the ground.
RAIN IN FRESNO COUNTY.
FRESNO, March 15.-Thts mornings
rainfall Of nearly a quarter If an inch
has added greatly to the crop prospects
Of Fresno County, but still leaves them
in such condition that the final outcome
del ENDS upon future showers. jne
rCund has not been wet sufficient
depth to assure the maturity Of more
than a small percentage of the grain
without more rain. If abundant snow
els come during the next few weeks
there viii be a fair yield of grain,
though not nearly as good rs expected
early in the season.
The damage done to fruit by the frost
o. Sunday night has not been great,
though the total loss OF apricots and
early peaches is reported in some loCaii-
ties. This loss is not general, and VIII
probably be less than first reaorted.
OUTLOOK IN THE SOUTH.
Los ANGELES, March f5.-The crop
bulletin for Southern California for the
week ending March 14th prepared by
Observer Franklin is as follows:
The continued dry weather was Sroken
on the 10th by a general rain, hanging
from few hundredths of IN inch in rhe
northern section TO more than TWO inches
in the mountain regions of the southern
portion. Much of the benefit Of this
laiI. was dissipated by heavy ncrther
on the 18th, but grain and hay VIII do
well for ten days or two weeks without
more rain. The rain was followed by
cooler weather and frosts, quite sharp
in places. ADricots, nectarInes aid

a Genuiae Bill, but SnIit.

A few days ago a sensation was
caused at Ionia by the discovery of a
counterfeit silver certificate. The bill
had been offered to the cashier of one
Of the local banks, and pronounced by
him to be bogus, and this opinion was
confirmed later by q civil service officer
who went there to inyestiga q the mat
ter. The bill had partially SPLIT in two
and it was supposed TO be one of the
kind where the front and back are
printed on separate sheets of thin pa
per by the counterfeiters and then
pasted together With the silk threads
between. The bin was sent TO the
Treasury officials at Washington, and
on Monday the Ionia cashier and the
Secret Service officer were astounded
at dispatch from Washington stating
that the bill was genuine, and that 800
in currency had been sent on to redeem
il. This is the first instance known of
d United States note splitting in two.

The 'ImparciaP publishes a telegram
announcing that definite arrangements
have been made for the purchase of the
Chilean cruiser Almirate OEligSins,
now at the Newcastle yards.
To-day the majority of the Madrid
press suddenly changed their tone, rec
ommending the people to keep cool, and
to have no fear of American naval or
military preparations credits or lingo
menaces. They are merely intended,
this organ declares, to elbow Spain into
concessions in all pending questions,
virtually amounting to a recognition
of American pretensions to mediate or
interfere in Cuban affairs.
All the papers publish paragraphs
stating that the rumors about the real
purport of the reports of the Spanish
and American Commissions that in
vestigated the causes of the Maine dis
aster are premature. Should the Span
ish report, however, expose grounds FOR
considering the explosion accidental as
seems to have been the decided opinion
of all the Spanish authorities in Cuba
from the beginning, the Spanish Gov
ernment will certainly stand by its Of
fetal report, and will neither admit
contrary conclusions or demands
founded on such differences.
There seems to exist an apprehen-
sion. even in official circles, that the
American report may clash with the
Spanish one. Some people fancy that
the case might then go for arbitration
to the naval Powers.

KAssoN WILL CONTEST.
Now Occupying the Attention of
Judge Jones at Stockton.

STOCKTON, March 15.-At the
opening of the Kasson viii contest
this morning, Judge Jones suggested
that in consideration of the number or
attorneys representing the various liti-
giants it would expedite matters if the
defendants single out one spokesman to
represent their side during the direct
examination. To this ali the attorneys
acquiesced.
A. j. f. Witthouse. a Fresno County
fruit-raiser, testified that he had
worked for Kasson in 1866, and that
Basson had told him he had wife, a
son and a daughter in St Louis; that
the son looked like him, but the daugh-
ter did not, and that she might not be
his daughter. The witness described
Kasson as looking very much like
George w. Lindy, the claimant to the
kasson estate. which IS estimated to
be valued at nearly 100000.
w. a Hurst, a Tracy barber. testi-
fed that KassOn had told him. that he
was married and had children.
The case has excited considerable
interest here. ana promises TO occupy
the attention of the court FOR many
