LONDON, Sept 15.-A blue book, con-
tanning the last Transvaal dispatch of
the Secretary of State for the Colonies,

commercial distress and saying:
"I am receiving representations from
many quarters to urge the Imperial
Government to terminate the suspense.
British South Africa is prepared for
extreme measures and is ready to SUI

GREEN FRUIT SHIPMENTS.
Remarkable Increase This Season
Over Former Years.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15-The
present year shows a. remarkable in
crease in the shipment of green fruit
from California over former years. The
Southern Pacific has prepared figures
up to September 18th, and 5,337 car
loads have been shipped up to that
date, against 3,5o4 for the correspond
ing period in 1898. The cars average
about thirteen tons each, which makes
the total nearly 10000 tons shipped to
Eastern points.
1t is expected that at least 1,500 cars
will be added to these figures by the
end of the season, November 1st, and
the record for the year will reach 1000
carloads in all. Late pears and grapes
will form the greater part of the COM
ing shipments.
Splendid prices are now being OBJ
tained in the East, and fruit growers
are everywhere reported as entirely
satisfied with the market conditions.

At the close of his speech the New
York orator won the hearts of his lis
teners by paying Mr.. Bryan a few well
chosen compliments, which the Demo-
cratic leader blushingly Acknowledged.
Mr. Cochran fkened Mr.. Bryan 10 a

monopoly as the leader of the Demo-
cratic party than any financial corpor-
alton in the world. Mr.. Cochran spoke
for about two hours, and when he con-

all over the house.
Finally Mr.. Bryan arose and said
that for the good of the conference al

from the gathering, but as he did not
at all agree with Mr.. Cochran on many
of his arguments it was necessary That
his side of the controversy should be

PROFESSOR HERRoN's MaRE's NEST

ROFESSOR HERON of Iowa College is al
~ ways ready to shy his castor into the arena and
any old arena seems to suit his purpose. Just
now he is in Chicago, shying as usual. He says that
the war with Spain was brought on by plot among
capitalists, who entered into compact to do all they
could to oment hostilties that they might reap the
incidental benefit The professor adds that he has
a. copy of the compact, and may some day reveal its
terms and the names of those party to it.
1t is impossible to accept the statement of Heron,
although it is doubtless made by him in good faith
Somebody must have worked a counterfeit compact
upon him for the sake of hearing him roar. If cap
taliss were to do so thing he charges
they should be hanged in row, even if the were
to stretch from to sea.
Doubtless there are spectators unequipped with
conscience, but these have sense. If they de-
lberately chose to take a wicked and des-
ecable as actual treason, and perhaps involving
treason they would hardly put themselves record.
Burglars about to loot bank avoid any written
agreement, and surely the capitalists, striving for
larger stakes must be given credit for perspcuity at
least equal to that of burglar.
Professor Heron has cut out a clear duty for him
self He cannot in honor avoid exposing the indi-
vduals he denounces in general terms. This would
give them opportunity for defense and in case OF
failure to clear themselves would afford the country
chance to hate them and to drive them from land
their presence dsgraces.
Let Heron give to the public copy of the compact
and list of signatures. There is paper in the
United States but would pay far than regular
space rates for the matter.

p: n T meeting of the Western Addition Improve
Il I ment Club, held few nights ago, petition
Il now pending before the Board of Supervisors
asking for the passage Of an ordinance closing the
cemeteries of this city after January I, 1901 was
unanimously Endorsed. The executive committee OF
the club requested to appear before the Commit
tee on Health and Police of the board and urge early
and favorable action in the matter.
This subject has previously been discussed in these
columns and we refer to it at the present time for the
purpose merely Of calling attention to conditions
The petition was originally presented by residents OF
the region called Richmond The late Board OF SUI
pervisors did not consider it for two or three
sons the principal of which that it was
the end of its term and did not feel like precpitating
a discussion which could probably not BE- terminated
before its members again private citizens. In
short the subject referred to the present Board
$of Supervisors as one with which that body would
have plenty OF time to deal
Thus the question whether or not it is good policy
to order the cemeteries of this City closed after
January l. 1901 is presented for grave consideration
Large interests are involved in its proper determine
ton but as matter OF public policy, there is not
the slightest doubt that such action that pc
titioned for should be taken The cemeteries
listing in the vicinity OF Lone Mountain per-
petua bar to the westward progress OF the munich
ality They have already turned the current of resi-
dence southwark, and as time goes on they will be-
come a still greater menace to the region in which
they are situated
:. There never will be time in the history of San
Francisco when burias in these cemeteries be for
hidden with less damage the material interests Of
their lotowners than the present The land in these
cemeteries would be nearly twice valuable for
residence purposes is for the purposes to which
il is now devoted, and as a financial proposition we
believe the persons interested could they be made to
see far enough in the future, would realize that the
time has arrived when the closing OF these cemeteries
should be no longer delayed.
At all events, this matter is of prime impor-
tance, and it should be fully and freely discussed
Millions of dollars worth of property be created
and the most beautiful portion of the city given a
strong impetus by the adoption OF a rational and en-
lghtened policy at the present time If there any
reasons why these cemeteries should not be closed
they ought to be presented without delay

A TALE
OF
TWO SEATS.


Palace Hotel lobby last night about 7:3o
o'clock. After mutual salutations "Sned,"
who is something of a joker said: Say,
Null I've got two seats at the California
for this evening, and you are welcome to
one of them. What do you say If we go?"
Muicahy, whose fondness for the the
alter amounts almost to a passion, glee-
fully replied:
'"rickled to death, old man. I saw
Nance O'Neil on her opening night but
don't mind seeing her again. Let us wan
der up there, and by the way let us have
little something first as a bracer.'
After doing justice to the little some
thing, the two cronies walked along
Kearny street, and Mulcahy invited his
! friend to have another appetizer for the
dramatic feast to follow, besides treating
to couple of Henry Clays to smoke be-
| tween the acts.
When they reached the theater building
Mulcahy noticed that Snedaker led the
way into the hotel entrance, but thought
that probably he intended to inquire for
his mail at the office. He was soon unde-
ceived, however, for when he got inside
Snedaker innocently pointed to two
leather-covered chairs, saying:
Here are the two seats, Null You
take this one and I'll sit In the other"
Mulcahy realized then that he had been
the chair, and, after muttering something
about the bunko games which were be-
coming pretty frequent around the hotels
he began to view the somewhat inactive
moving panorama of Bush street; but
"Sned" never even cracked a smile.
81 don't mind being bunkoed so much"
said Mulcahy, in telling the story later
to some of his friends; but I could have
seen the show with the dollar I spent for
the drinks and cigars

conundrum engages the attention of experts all over
the East. All concede that Democracy has disap-
peared but none know where it has gone. We can
not from this distance, undertake to solve problem
which perpexes students the spot but in Our judg
ment some light is thrown upon it by paragraph IN
the Philadelphia Inquirer the effect that OF its
country exchanges says: philadelphia is no longer
sleepy, respectable city, but dssolute, wicked
place, with everything wide open"
The Inquirer denounces the statement as false, but
circumstances confirm it. In what way could Denoc-
racy have disappeared from Philadelphia had there
not been some wicked place in the town wide open
to receive il?

PHILADELPHIA DEMOCRACY.

II a general rule city election in Philadelphia
~ is matter of but little interest to any ex-
cept the candidates whose political fortunes
are involved in it. To the sleepy city itself such
contest is only passing nightmare that disturbs
somewhat but does not awaken. Throughout Penn
sylvania the rumor runs these occasions that the
old town is having hot time in her dreams, but be-
yond the confines of that commonwealth hardly any
notice whatever is taken of the matter.
The city election just held however, while quiet
enough in ITSELF disclosed certain conditions in Phila
dephia politics that have been found interesting to
the political experts of all sections of the Union 1t
appears that Democracy has almost disappeared from
the city and there is much wonderment as to what
has become OF it.
When Bryan for President Philadelphia gave
him 63,323 AS it is certain no Republicans or
independents voted for the free silver champion the
for him everywhere regarded as demonstra-
ton of the strength of Philadelphia Democracy and
people living in the big village began to count upon
it as factor in their local fights They reckoned it
would cut wide swath in the recent election but
when the votes were summed UP it was found that
while the Republican candidate for Mayor had a
plurality of 10000 votes, his Democratic oppo-
nent received but little than 10000 votes alto
gether.
What has become of Philadelphia Democracy? The
