Lovers of fresh fruits will rejoice az
the new enterprise undertaken by the
California sugar king, Claus Spreckles.
says the New York World. He has
begun building railroad from point
in the San Joaquin Valley over the
TETON Pass into Los Angeles. This
will connect south of the pass with
the Atchison system end north of it
with the new San Francisco and Los
Angeles road; which means that all of
the great fruit districts of California
are to be provided with competing
railroad route to the Eastern States.
This in turn means that an abundance
of grapes, figs, apricots, pears, peaches
and plums will soon be furnished to
Us fresh and cheap.

JOHN WANAMAKER ARRESTED.
Charged With SANDER by Pennsylvania
Former Public Printer.

ROCHESTER, Penn. (SpeciaD.-E--Post-
master General Wanamaker was arrested
as he stepped from a train here on Wednes-
day on charge OF SANDER preferred by
Thomas Robinson, the veteran editor and
former Superintendent of Public Printing.
Colonel Robinson left Harrisburg a few
months ago, when he resigned the Office of
Superintendent of Public Printing and re-
turned to his home in Butler.
Recently, in a speech, Mr.. Wanamaker
criticised the former superintendent for
his part in the printing on the famous
bulletin on Diseases and Enemies ol
Poultry" which caused scandal and in
volved an expense Of over 100000 to the
State.
Robinson has always contended that he
was innocent of any wrongdoing and that
he simply performed his duty. 1t Is sup
posed that the suit grows out of this mat
ter.
Mr.. Wanamaker came hero to address
political meeting. After the Sheriff OF
Beaver County had served the summons at
the railway station Mr.. Wanamaker who
was not put under bonds, made his speech,

A serious question has arisenin New
Jersey concerning a gravestone. 1t
seems that the relatives of person
who is buried in cemetery at Eliza
beth desire to perpetuate his memory,
in accordance with his express wish,
by placing at the gravea large boulder
which has been brought from his farm
and adorned with q suitable inscrip-
ton. The appearance of the huge
stone is not satisfactory, however, to
some of the neighboring lot owners,
and at their instance the authorities of
the cemetery have refused to allow it
to be placed therein. The rights of
lot owners in respect to the monuments
which they may erect must depend
upon the particular contract with the
cemetery association, or upon the
statutes of the State in which the ceme-
terry is situated. It is usual for the
proprietary corporation to reserve for
itself the power of final control in such
matters, and where that power is ezer-
cised with discretion there is rarely
any difficulty. There are many ceme-
teries in which natural boulders have
been erected into very suitable and
handsome monuments.

THE IDENTITY OF DE RoUcEMoNT
Mrs. Grien, of Sydney. Says tho Australian
Story-Spinner is Her Husband.

SYDNEY, y S. W. (By Cable).-When the
London Chronicle publishes the statement
Of William May, al old diver, of Leeds, to
the effect that Lofts De Rougemont was
none other than HeL-i Louis GTien, or
Green, OF this city, it establishes the
identity Of the man who has been setting
all England aeape with his stories OF
Crusoe-like life on queer island of the
Micronesian Archipelago.
Mrs. Grien lives in Sydney, and she has
recognized the portrait Of De Rougemont
as that OF her husband, and said that she
had heard from him in England through
relatives there. Her husband left hero
presumably for New Zealand last May and
she has not seen him since. Mrs. Gr!en is
the daughter OF a Queensland property
owner and waman who is connected with
several Of the best families OF Australia
She was married to Grien in Newtown
in 1888.

If it be true, as claimed, that the
long-looked-for ssnew match has been
invented it is news of great Importance.
An Englishman and Berlin chemist
have announced the invention of
match which will strike anywhere and
of which phosphorus is not compo-
nent part. The makers of friction
matches are liable to necrosis, hor-
rible form of jaw disease, as a result
of the use of phosphorus, and in Europe
large rewards have been offered for a
suitable substitute for this dangerous
substance. 1t is to be hoped that the
substitute has been found.

A Connecticut man has left his en-

WASHINGTON NEWS.

The annexation matter now takes
new and decisive departure, in the aban-
donment of the treaty, and the presen-
tation of joint resolution OF annexa-
ton. The resolution substantially in
corporates all of the provisions Of the
treaty, so that if it is adopted, it will
not be necessary for our own Govern
ment to do anything further in the
matter. The treaty as ratified by the Ha-
waiian Senate is treated not as annex
alton by treaty, but a cession by the
Hawaiian Government of the sover-
eighty of the Islands to the United
States.
There is apparently a majority in
both the Senate and the House in favor
of the joint resolution. But We must
keep in mind that those opposed to the
treaty in the Senate may delay action
by debate for an indefinite period.
They may resort to other methods of
obstruction also, which may cause de-
lay. Whether they will be able to
throw the consideration of the matter
over until the next session is now
mere matter of speculation. No one
can make an intelligent guess.
The action of the House may be con-
trolled by the Speaker, in such a way
as not to exhibit any open preference,
on his part, on the the subject. We
suspect that the sugar beet influence
will develop unexpected strength
How much is also mere matter of
speculation at present. The DEBATES
show much interest and decided anita
gonism among the Republicans.
There is this consolation that the out
look is better than it has been ii many
respects, since the treaty of annexation
was sent to the Senate, last Spr ng. We
have never believed that there were SO
votes in favor of the ratification of The
treaty.
While the Cuban affair would if there |
were war between Spain and the Unit
ed States, undoubtedly throw the mat
ter over, the chances are against war.
The rapid and complete preparation for
war naturally leads many people to be-
lieVe that it is inevitable But as neitt-
er nation is in the least hungry for it, |
the chances are AGAINST it.

NEW DIRECTORY.

The Hawaiian Gazette Co. Lti., has
concluded arrangements for the publ

1t is intended to make this the most
complete compendium of information
ever issued in these Islands. Besides
the usual alphabetical list of names,
the book will contain statistics relating
to the various Island industries, i'm
ports and exports, customs and postal
regulations, digest of land laws, de-
scription and historical matter relating
to the Islands, information relating to
the various societies and religious or
CARNATIONS, extracts from the Census
returns, in fact everything that goes to
make a modern up-to-date Directory.
The publication will be essentially a
home one, ais the canvass will be made
by Island boys, and the printing and
binding by the Gazette Office.
Mr.. T. J. Birch, gentleman of many
years experience in the preparation of
Directory matter, here and abroad, will
assist in the compilation and will call
on the various business houses for the
purpose of arranging as to advertising
space. We bespeak for him the atten-
ton of the business community.
