The progress made by the league dur

plished otherwise. At a convention OF the
league at Sacramento thirty-eight bills
were submitted and eleven We're agreed
to. These eleven received the approval Of
the Legislature and are now statutes: and

The Mayor referred to the coming bond

he had visited sixty-four cities of Cali

principally In the line OF prevailing upon
them 10 join the league and contribute

Mayor Snow OF Oakland followed with
a paper on The Future Work OF the
League In part he said:
There is need Of the league. The uuni-
cipal officers OF this State need H. / do

honor mixed with opprobrlum. The loud

looks OF veXation and surprise. Stalwart
advocates Of reform. but with an eve 10

and soon augment the ranks OF the no.
litical opposition. wishing for and prophe-
sying the early downfall OF the admfnIs-
traton. There is strength and satisfac-
tion in the consciousness OF duty done

lift than this TO counterbalance the down
pull OF the jealous and disappointed He
needs the strength that comes to every
man by contact with men OF like nur-
poses. He needs their support. He needs
10 know what they know.
The problem Of city government is con-
fined To no single city. The experience OF
each and every municipality IN our own
State is OF especial interest 20 us all as
municipal officers. Samuel Johnson said:
knowledge is Of two kinds. We know a
subject ourselves know where we

which we have been chosen to perform.

turned out in force to-day at the
State Fruit Growers Convention
and when that body convened this
morning there were few vacant
seats There was also an increased at
tendance of fruit men from abroad.
Greater interest was manifested in the
subjects under discussion.
So far no committee reports have been
received and no resolutions introduced.
but the convention will undoubtedly take
up it's business tomorrow.
Good results of the meeting are appar-
ent on all sides. 1t has lent an impetus
to the deciduous fruit growers. and at a
meeting this afternoon after the conven-
ton IT was decided TO call a convention Of
growers of dried fruit for the third Mon
day in January in this city. At that time
attempts will be made 10 effect an or
ganization to handle the entire product Of
the coast.
The Marysville men are making a fight
to take the next convention to that city.
They are doing some quiet missionary
work and will probably succeed, as Sac
rsmento and northern growers are in ia
vor of IL.
The Jamaica treaty will probably be
brought up tomorrow and resolutions
condemning it adopted.
President Ellwood Cooper presided at
the morning session and b. NJ. Lelong
acted as secretary.
The convention promptly got down to
business and from the opening 10 the
closing the proceedings were most inter-
esting. The organization and co-opera-
ton among producers. effect of foreign
competition and the establishment of a
free public market for the sale OF perish
able products were the topics considered.

WASHINGTON, June 8.-Among the
reports which accompanied the report
of General Otis regarding operations
about Manila, are those relating to the
subsistence of the army. 1t appears
from these that the subsistence corps
was prompt in every way in supplying
the troops with food.
/. Under date of March Goth, Major
Robert Fitzhugh,- commissioner Of
subsistence, says that on the evening
of February 5th, after hard fighting
and q general advance all along the
division line, that the troops were
given their. supper promptly at the
regular hour, and during all the sub
sequent movements, while the troops
hare been constantly confronting the
enemy either in line or In the trenches.
the continuous supply of rations had
been maintained and at all times a
reserve Of at least two days' travel
rations had been kept on hand.
