To Raise Figs In California.

WASHINGTON. June 25.-The ngrl-
cultural department has Issued bull
letin treating Of the probable success Of
the efforts of the department to estab-
llsh the Smyrna fig industry In Callfor-
MIA. 1t appears that the fruIting OF the
Smyrna ilg is dependent upon the IN
PRODUCTION from South Europe and the
establishment In California OF little
insect which fcrt!llzes the fig. Exper-
mental introductions OF the insect
were thereupon begun and some OF
them brought over In 1893 have sue
ceeded in penetrating the closed flow
erS OF the Capri ilBs growing at Fresno
mnking the first step in the experiment
tai work II success. Tho bulletin adds:
"Since tho insect has maintained Itself
for an entire year there is reason to
suppose that 1t will continue to breed,
and that California In the near future
will be able to place ng upon the mar
ket which will possess the same super
lOr flavor az that which has given the
imported Smyrna figs their prominent
commercial rank"

Englnnd's Firm Attitude.

Of Great Britain appears to be having

Cape Town. Bloemfonten and Pretoria,
aiming to arrange franchise compro-
mise on basis Of i've or six years past

President Kruger is represented as
agreeable to some such arrangement,
but Is finding considerable difficulty in
handling his own Conservative ele-

MANY
WILD
RUMORS
In Regard to Situation In South
Africa..Thc Attitude Of
Great Britain.
ACUTE STAGE IS REACHED,
Though 1t Is Believed That
Franchise Compromise
may be Arranged.

Copyright. 1889. by the Associated Press)
LONDON. June 25.-The rattllng Of
swords In their scabbards grows more
pronounced, though the war office re-
fuses all information regarding the
Transvaal situation and declines to
either confirm or deny the repeated,
circumstantial assertions OF the closet
ings of the British military leaders or
the dispatch OF this or that regiment to
Cape Town. The ministers, however,
have been unable to successfully parry
the multitude OF questions raised In the
house Of commons with the intention of
getting some inlSl!ng of the govern
ment's Intentions. A reply of the par
liamentary secretary Of the war office,
George Wyndhan. Is considered porten-
tiously significant. He was questioned
as to the truth of the report that the
British garrison In South Africa was to
be gradually increased to 10000 men.
Had the government wished to give
paciilcatory answer with the view of
allaying the anxiety here and at the
Cape, the question offered an ample op-
portunity. but Mr.. Wyndham replied
In the words: mo, sir"
The truth Is that. whatever plans the
government has decided on, the minis
ters regard 1t as impolltlc to contradict
reports, however extravasdat, OF Its
warlike Intentions, because OF the re-
verbcrations. These reports cannot fail
to produce at Pretoria an effect which
It would be foolish to impair by hasty
denials or ratlflcatIons. At the same
time daily. almost hourly, kilograms are
arriving. announcing energetic prepar-
atlons in South Africa for all contin-
cral Sir Redvcrs Butler has already
been appointed TO command the expedi-
tion. there is no doubt he will make n
big bid for the command. He has been
heard to remark In private conversation
that he reserved himself for "go" at
the Beers. to repay them come old
grudges.
In any case. the patience of everybody
Is rapidly becoming exhausted and the
situation Is daily becoming more intol-
cradle. In fact, It has become SO dan
gerously acute that It must speedily be
ended or mended. The big military ex-
penditure OF s2O.o0o,0OO provided for in
the military works loan bill introduced
In the house OF commons June 81 has
caused some alarm among taxpayers,
although 1t is admitted that portion
of the expenditures Is absolutely neces-
Stated by the increases In the army.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1899-06-26

the dispatch of such n big vessel with
carrier pigeons is quite unprecedented.
Usually n torpedo boat Is sent, and
the opinion. therefore. gains ground
that the TaSe has gone to meet the
Sfax and TO tako Captain Dreyfus on
board. The pigeon can be used to am
nounce the transfer and the Tage
might proceed to another port to land
the prisoner. ylI5
AS against this theory and us an In
dication that the landing OF Dreyfus
VIII be effected here, there Is the fact
that a large number. Of gendarmes from,
tho country around Brest are arriving
or expected to arrive tonight.
The treasurer Of the famous League
OF the French fatherland reached
Brest this evening from Paris, and as
this organization has been at the bot
tom OF the ant.Dreyfus movement It 10
thought he hns probably come to or
gallZe @ demonstration.

NAVAL PROPOSALS

CLEVELAND
STRIKE
SETTLED.
Cars Started Yesterday, but Those
Manned by Non.unionists
are Stopped by Mob
AND PASSENGERS IMPORTUNED
To Wait for Union Cars :. The
Conditions of Settlement Ac-
cepted by the Company.

CLEVELAND, O.,June 25.-An agree
ment between the Big Consolidated
Street Railway Company and Its strik-
Ing employees was reached at o'clock
Inst evening and cars are running as
usual on NIL the lines of the company
to-day Friday night 1t was believed
the trouble was ut an end, but there
was hitch In the negotiations yester-
day morning when the company refused
to sign the proposition adopted at the
meeting Of the strikers. The company's
refusal was based on the allegation thnt
certain paragraphs OF the proposition
which had been drawn by the strikers
attorneys were susceptible OF mlsnter-
pretatIon and were not clear state
ment OF conditions.
Final Conference.
For q time after the refusal Of the
company to accept the proposition, 1t
seemed that All agreement would be
impossible. The special committee of
the city council went to work. however,
and finally the officers OF the company
and the executive committee OF the
strikers were brought together. After u
long conference the council committee
presented fofm Of agreement and
asked both s!de9 what they thought OF
1t. President Everett, OF the street rail-
way company said It suited him and he
would sign It. The strikers also said
1t satisfied them. The document was
therefore signed by both sides.
The agreement provides for the hear
Ing OF grievanceo and resort to arbl;ra-
ton In case the men and the company
cannot agree, and It also provides for
the reinstatement Of practically 50 per
cent Of the old mrn ut once, the remain
der, except thosd who have been guilty
of violence. being placed on the waiting
list.
One Outbreak Yesterday.
Only one outbreak Of violence attend
ed the resumption of traffic on all the
lines OF the Big Consolidated street
railway this morning. There was OBJ
lection in some Parts OF the city TO the
retention OF the non-unlon men who
were kept by the company. a party OF
twenty-five men assembled near the
Brooklyn bridge. Just south OF the city,
| and whenever n ear came along with u
non-union crew the passengers were
asked to disemb9r rk and walt for a car
manned by union crew. In most
cases the passcnserc did az requested.
Finally non-urlon conductor under
took to argue with the crowd, and he
was promptly struck over the head with
q club. and he and the motorman driven
away. The mob refused to permit the
car to move until union crew came
along and pushed 1t to the barns.
AS a rule the old men were glad the
strike was settled. though there was
some grumbling because the non.unlon
men were kept. II Is pradlcted that all
the non-unlon men will be glad to leave
the city within thirty days. though the
company imposes as one of the condi-
t!ons OF the agreement for the settle
ment OF the trouble that all the new
men should be treated with consldera-
tlon by the old employees.
