Delaware Poisoning.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-Chief Of
Police Lees is in communication with
the Delaware authorities regarding
the poisoning of Mrs. j. =. Dunning
and her sister, Mrs. j. II. Deane, by
some person, supposedly resident Of
this city. Chief Lees has been work.
ing on the case for some days. but
is greatly hampered in some efforts to
trace the guilty person because the
Delaware authorities have not sent
him any of the evidence in the case.
He desires to obtain the box which
contained the candy and paper which
it was wrapped and the address written
on it. He suggests that photograph
of the articles might aid in his search
He has made no arrests and will not
admit that he c0ntemplates taking
suspects into custody, Mrs. POtkin,
whose name has been SO prominently
connected with the affair, is in Stock
ton, Cal, and had not been arrested
at late hour this afternoon.

GERMAN COMMENT.
Americas Standing Unchanged-A New
Sea On.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-The Berlin
correspondent Of the Times Gays the
press teens with discussions of the
HispanO-American war One point
on which all the papers agree is that
if america has yet reached her zenith
Spain has probably touched the nadir
ot her greatness.
The National Zeitung advises Spain
TO retire for moment from the lists
of the powers and to devote herself To
the cultivation OF her land and to
rest satisfied with her Mediterranean
interests, which still give her intlu-
ence in all foreign questions.
The same paper thinks that Amerl-
cas- direct gain is small, and her
weight as great power practically
unchanged, The cause Of this deduc-
tiOn Is found To be in theory enter
tanned here that power without a
vast standing army drilled and nodded
together into Z spirit Of absolute or.
ganic discipline, cannot hope to face
any other power ln the possession Of
such an army, and it Is doubted
whether America will reOrganize her
aEmy on the model of the European
system Of universal CONSUMPTION. This
Is clearly demonstrated by the writer
when he says that 100000 raw re.
crults will not much alter the situa
ton. They must be drilled and
taught the science of war If they are
To be Of use against armies obeying
one voice and moving as the wheels
of an engine with one motion i'm
PEELED by one hand and directed
against one end.
The Frankfurter Zeitung, on the
thinks America has begun a
new life and inaugurated new policy
OF usefulness, good for mankind. II
says the American state Is built on
freedom and tolerance, untrammeled
by the bureaucratic traditions which
hamper older nations.
The Zeitung considers the Philip
pines question where America must
prove herself worthy the position she
has won and undertaken to uphold.

Harvest Notes.

The big mills received about 5000
bushels OF wheat yesterday from local
farmers.
Harvesting is now practically over
and the farmers have began hauling
their crop. No sales are reported
all The growers storing their wheat
for greater price than is now offered.
The mills are buying about 500 bushels
daily from local growers, aud little
from the valley producers, who ship
by rail.
Wheat is quoted at 49 cents today
against 50 cents yesterday.
The Oregon Green and Dried Fruit
Co. is loadidg car with Bartlett
pears today, for shipment east. They
are chipping fruit east now at the
rate Of ane car every four days. Small
consIgnments of apples, plums, etc,
are shipped daily TO different points.
The Oregon watermelon crop is
now rapidly rlpenlng and the first
melons arrived today.
With the Oregon melon in the
market the price Of melons will fall as
the'supply becomes more abundant.
The Wallace fruit farm Is shipping
a carload OF pears every day now.
Their crop is nearly all picked and
shipment will cease near the end OF
this week.

About the HOPS.

Hop picking will commence 10 a few
yards this week, but this Is the ex-
ception as the later varieties are not
yet ripe and will not be for a week or
two yet.
Very few contracts are being made
now, the growers being reluctant to
sell. What contracts: are mada are
closed at.from 10 9 cents. ,Crop is OF
goodIquality as far asIlce is concerned
there being fewer lice this year than
at any time since 1890 at the same
season OF the year. The hops are
generally OF firm hard quality,
though the quantity might be greater
than IL is. In all probability the
yield will he about $1,000 bales.
There is now on hand several thou
sand bales, Of last years crop, this will
probably be sold by the time the 1893
crop is baled.
The reported scarcity OF pickers
seem 10 be III founded as all the yards
so far have had no difficulty In
securing hands 10 harvest their crops.
Growers this year will pay from 35 TO
40 cents box for picking, the pre-
valllng price being 40 cents
The weather now will ia Nowise in.
jure the crop though on account Of
the coolness IL will retard its rlDenlng
slightly. Warm rainy weather would
breed lice but a cool rain would not
materially harm the crop.
1t is yet too early TO make any pre-
dlctions as to the price of hops for the
coming season. At present the dealer
is reluctant to buy and the grower is
holding his hops for rise over the
present market price. Towards the
last OF the picking season the market
will probably settle and then more
contracts will be let.
Inside Of two weeks almost all Of
the local yards will be picking.
Hopmen returning from tours OF
the valley yards report them in fine
condition and rlpening rapidly.

factor in keeping the exhibit in fine condi-

August you can easily imagine what the at

"Our exhibit installed in any of these
buildings in midsummer would be ruined
inside of twenty-four hours; however, with
these drawbacks, the exposition buildings
are of better quality and more substan-
TALLY built than any have ever seen. The
inside walls are all plastered, the windows
are heavily cased, the doors are good
enough for any banking institution, the
trimmings are of brass; the conveniences
in the buildings are equal to those of first

exterior staff covering. If the exhibits in

with what he sees and will not complain
at the price paid for seeing it.

of the features of the Midway is that it
