Of New York. just received here, says, in
he report OF, p. Ruhlman. g. Co.: eve
have been reading lately about record prices
and high averages. We believe, however,
we hold the record for the highest price
the past season. On November 3, 1893, we
received car from G.. c. Chapman of Full
erton, CAL, containing 259 fancy and "
choice boxes of oranges. The car crossed
Sl047, an average of S4.90 box for both
choice and fancy. We also had several
other cars from him which beat all aver
ages here. Another car of Chapman's or
anges of 424 boxes, about halt fancy, crossed
$l8o0.20 an average of $4.45. This leads all
California for the season of 1898"

of the Cannon appropriation his depart

Secretary Alger will order the mounting

He says that not much money will be spent

They are already owned in large quanri-

in getting them in position for defense. The
intention Of Gen. Alger is to put the de-

Naval Movements.
All naval movements, no matter how
insignificant, are new watched with UNI
usual interest, in view Of their possible
connection with the plans of the govern
ment for the national defense in the event
of an outbreak OF hostilities Consequently
the arrival Of the gunboat Machias at Nor
folk this morning gave rise to all sorts of
speculation. AS matter Of fact this
vessel. which has tust concluded three
years cruise on the Asiatic station, was
ordered home about two months ago, long
Eefore the present situation had reached
anything like an acute stage.
She made the voyage in a most leisurely
manner by way of the Suez canal and the
Mediterranean sea, and made an uninter-
II pied run from Funchal. Nj .eira Island
to Hampton Roads, consuming about sew
erteen days on the trip. She is represented
to be in need OF thorough overhauling,
and will undoubtedly be dockad for that
purpose. In case she should be needed,
however, 1t would not take very long to
put her in condition for active service. In
asmuch as there isa no apparent necessity
for reinforcing the already formidable fleet
in the vicinity of Key West, it is more
than likely that the Machias will remain
where she is for some time to come, unless
it should be deemed preferable to have her
take station in the, harbor of New York
The gunboat Castine of the south Atlantic
station, which recently went to ST. Lucia,
in the Windward Islands, for the purpose
of receiving slight repairs, left that port
yesterday for Berbadoes. The Cincinnati
flagship of the south Atlantic station, is
also at the latter port, and it is expected
that both vessels will remain there for the
present, awaiting a decision of the depart
ment as to Whether they shall return to the
south Atlantic station or come to the
United States for such service as may be
required of them in the event of an out
break OF hostilities.

THE RIVER BATTERIES.
Pushing Work on the Defenses Of
Washington.

The government has just closed con-
tract with Littlefield, Alvord & Co. Of this
city to mount three eight-ineh guns at
Sheridan Point, opposite Fort Washington.
These are all of the guns that are at the
place. and they were recently shipped down
to the point. The hauling was done by the
same firm. The work of mounting the guns
viii begin tomorrow. and be pushed for
ward as rapidly as possible. The placing
of the heavy guns and carriages in posi-
ton will take some time. The government
was anxious to have the work completed in
ten days, but it is SAID that it will take
fully twenty days TO complete the work.
The guns are of the latest pattern, and
weigh about twenty-eight tons each With
them are the modern gun carriages, OF the
disappearing type, the carriages weighing
in the vicinity of twenty-seven tons. After
being landed at Sheridan Point, the heavy
guns and carriages will have to be skidded
for distance of 300 feet TO the fort, and
then mounted. AS large force of mea
can be conveniently used will be em-
ployad on the work, and the position Sc
lected for the engines of death will be SO
advantageous as to give clean sweep OF
the river.
The guns were manufactured by thu
Bethlehem iron works of Pennsylvania, and
shipped to this city. This firm has the
contract for manufacturing nearly all of
the cannon used by the army. The gun
shops at the navy yard in this city turn
out guns for use in the navy only. AS fast
as the cannon were completed at the works
of the company in Pennsylvania they were
sent to this city, thence hauled to the
river and carried by boat to the final des
tiration.
At Fort Washington the work of placing
the guns in position has been actively
pushed forward. Ten ten-inch guns, with
the disappearing carriage, have been sent
to that place. These guns, before baing
mounted, had to be carried a distance of
fully mile, which took some time. Out
of the ten guns which have been sent to
the fort, eight have been mounted, and
two are ctill in process of completion. The
mounting was not done by outside parties.
but by the soldiers of the government, de-
tailed for the purpose. The gun carriages
used at Fort Washington are the same as
those which VIII be put in place at Sheri-
dan Point, and represent the best ideas on
the subject that have as yet been devised.
