HIGH PRICE FOR
RA|S|N CROP
Growers Think 1t Will
Boom the Industry.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO. Sept. 26.-The directors of the
California Raisin Growers Association.
who were in session all day, created a
surprise here this evening by announcing
that they had fixed the price of four
crown raisins at 612 cents pound in the
sweat box. The price is the highest ever
obtained in this county, and If the asso-
citation succeeds in maintaining it the re-
suit will be an unprecedented boom in the
raisin industry.
One of the reasons for the action taken
by the association is the shortage in the
crop this year. On account of the late
frostS and the lateness of the season the
yield, it is thought, will be much smaller
than last year. The directors thought the
extraordinary raise in price necessary to
compensate for the loss to the growers
by reason of the shortage.
Another reason for making the price so
high is the fact that all Of last years
crop has been disposed of at the prices
fixed by the association. Not only were
the rates maintained in every instance,
but the market was cleared in time for
this years crop. This encouraged the as
sociation to make the price higher this
year
At to-day's meeting the directors also
fixed the price to be demanded for two
crown and three-crown goods. They will
ask 512 cents a pound for the former and
cents for the latter. These classes,
however, compose very small portion of
the crop, most of the raiSins being four
crown.
For layers the following prices were
fixed: Two-crown London, 81 so a box;
three-crown London, 81; four-crown fancy
clusters, So so; fve-crown Dehesa clusters,
81 so; six-crown imperial clusters, So; seed
less Muscatels, cents pound. The
above prices are T. o. b. to common ship
ping points, and on condition that raisins
are paid for before shipment
NJ Theo Kearney, president of the as
ISOLATION, thinks the outlook very prom
ising for the growers, and feels sanguine
that the prices will be maintained. not
withstanding they are higher than those
that prevailed in boom days and three
times as high as those obtained last year.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-There is rumor
which cannot be confirmed that burgh
ers of the Orange Free State fired on
the police patrol at Kimberly to-day.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily News says: THE Beers have be-
gun looting on the western border of
the Transvaal A house at Lichten-
burg, belonging to a British subject,
was looted in his absence, everything
portable being carried off.
The Transvaal situation presents few
new features. It is increasingly prob
able that Parliament will meet about
the middle of October and it is again
asserted that General Sir Redvers Bull
Ter, who is to have supreme command
of the British forces in South Africa
in the event cf hostilities, will start for
the Cape on October !. Nothing, how
ever, has been officially made known on
either point.
The Transvaal Government was in
constant telegraphic communication
with Bloemfontein yesterday on the re-
ply to Mr.. Chamberlain dispatch 1t
is believed that the reply will protest
against the continued dispatch of Brit
iSh troops as a menace to the Trans
vaal.
a dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Pietermaritzburg says that the colored
muleteers at Lady Smith mutinied and
declined to go to the front with the
artillery.
The Pretoria Volkstein, the official or
gan of the Transvaal Government, de-
clares that the Transvaal executive
ought to give Great Britain at the most
forty eight hours to reply TO the Trans
walls demand that no further troops
be landed pending the receipt of the
British nrOnnSalS.

CHINESE MOVE NORTH.
Belief That They Will Try to Get
Across the Border

AUSTIN. Sept. 2s.-Advices from Tor
teon. Mexico, say that several droves of
Chinese, each numbering from fifty to one
hundred men, have passed through there
on the Mexican International and the
Mexican Central railroads during the past
few days on their way toward the United
States border, and that it is the belief
there that an organized effort is to be
made to smuggle themselves into Texas
Many of these Chinese were recently
brought to Mexico from China to work on
the construction of railroads. The United
States customs inspectors on the Rio
Grande border are keeping sharp look
out for all violators Of the Chinese excIu-

The True Policy for an American
Marine.

The problem Of an American marine
was one of the first presented in Congress
by the sta tesmen Of 17S9-for solution.
Being rightly undertaken, their task was
light, and soon accomplished. In six
years, the proportion of our carriage in
foreign trade rose from less than % to 90
per cent. Our sh Ups We're built at home
under system of protection, and We're
owned by our citizens. In their running,
also, they We're protected A merchant
marine, 10 be created in the face of rivalry
and sharp antagonism, has no other means
of coming into existence, or of continuing
as a permanent factor. Therefore, neces-
sarily and undeniably, American naviga-
ton was the "Child of Protection.''
How was this protection given? By
discriminative revenue act, and by reg
istry provision that American vessels
must be American built; j. e., by trade
and tariff regulations. What changes
have since taken place? In 1915 our Gov
eminent began to withdraw the protection
to transportation in the foreign trade and
continued this policy until none was left.
| The policy entered upon was called mar
atime reciprocity and as result of it,
our proportionate carrying i'll our foreign
| commerce has decI eased from 90 per
cent, as it stood for thirty years, to less
than per cent, the present ratio. While
few nations have advanced under this
! policy, most have lost ground; our own
experience being perhaps the most IN
fortunate. Luckily, it has never been ex-
tended to the shipping in our domestic
trade--the coastng, lake and river ser
vice. This is why we continue to possess
some navigation under the flag of the
Union. Our ship building is still pro-
tected. Only shipping in foreign COM
merce, and the business which accompan-
les flag in the carrying trade, have been
| bestowed upon our rivals. Our thought
full citizens, for thirty years past, have
been saying that Congress should retrace
its steps. Even the school childran are
now expressing the view, that the mis-
take of our Government, in exposing our
marine to ruin, must be remedied imme-
diately.
What shall be done in the matter? The
question is one of Craftsmanship. View
ed Alright it is simple enough. The prin-
ed by Mr.. Madison to be this: 1.-THE max
ing of preference for our own vessels in
our own commerce." 1t was a natural
thing to do. On no other principle could

A Letter from Sergt. Sargent.

The following letter to Lowell, Mass,
newspaper received from Eugene V. Sar-
gent, quarter master sargent, Co. X, Goth
Inf, U. S. ", now at Plattsburg, N. y,
will be read with interest by his friends in
Seaport;
PLATTsBURG, n. Y, Aug. s, 1889. l
thought perhaps that you would like to
hear how the Lowell boys in the Goth Inf.
U. 5. ", were getting on, so | write you
few lines to let you know that we are all
we'll and feeling fine.
The most of us are in K company, which
is Capt. Thomas A. Talbot's company,
and is the crack company of the regiment.
We have the best officers in the regiment
and l cannot say enough in praise of them.
Yesterday we had an inspection and
when Lieut.. Col. Duvall, who was for
merly instructor of tactics at West Point,
came down the line he inspected every
man of our company and then came around
to the front and told us that we were the
best looking company on the field and
that he was proud of us, and he held us up
before the entire regiment as model.
Our officers are Captain Thomas Talbot;
First Lieutenant John Stillman; Second
Lieut.. Rice, who is Col. Rice 5 nephew
We have been issued rifles and are now
fully equipped for service. The President
will review us next Wednesday or Thurs
day, and he was present at the services of
the NJ. +. church here to- day.
The following Lowell boys are in this
company: Eddie Sears, Donald William
son, Samuel Busby, William Davidson,
Joe Samson, Walter LaMountain, William
Sullivan, Felix Lanctot, Jack Larkin.
Falls and myself, Sears, LaMountain,
Sullivan and Lanctot belong to the Oxford
Cycle Club.
We have very plain food but plenty of
it and it is served in the large mess hall.
We expect to start by the fifteenth OF
next month and will probably go by the
way of Suez Canal, 50 you see it will be a
long passage on the water for u.s.
We have a fine bugle corp, but have not
organized a band as yet. We have lot
of spare time and the drills are short but
are steady. | think the best exercise is
the mile run in the morning, as it brings
out the muscle on a man, but is hard on
a recruit
Well, | must close, hoping that we will
all return safe and sound to meet old

Miss Bronson. 81 am perfectly willing

To this Mrs. Tissington with admir-
able self possession replied: cit is not
necessary, my dear. l am used to house
keeping, and you are not" And then
membering that she was a chaperon
she added: land besides, if you will
sit up SO late, you must get your sleep
at the other end of the night. Don't
bother.'
And SO they did not bother, although
they solemnly vowed they woodland
what was more, Mrs. Tissington never
retired until after they did, and consist
emily appeared two hours earlier in the
morning. None of us noticed it at the
time, but we did later on.
Templeton was very much the same.
As have said, he was a perfect host. If
we wished to stay up until two in the
morning Templeton was willing to stay up
until three; but if it came to our doing
anything in the early hours of the day, he
would invariably say:
breakfast is rigidly fixed at nine.
Don't get about until then. If there is
anything to be done Mike or the captain
will do it, OF course this isn't first
class hotel, but it lisa well equipped canal
boat; and my guests are not my crew.
Good night"
So of course we never more thought of
appearing before nine.
Well, it was pleasant cruise, and at
the end of the contemplated week we
were all of US glad when Templeton ex-
tended it for another three days, and then
we landed in New York.
Barlow parted humorously from Miss
Hawkins, and ever after went his way in
peace, and to my knowledge has not seen
the lady since.

and by degrees took notice elsewhere to
such an extent that it is difficult to-day
for either of them to remember the other.
Miss Bronson and | said good-by at
parting, and | must confess | went away
with a lump in my throat, and she went
away wifi my card and address. pre-
sum tnat, inasmuch as | did not hear
from her again until l saw her picture in
q yellow journal as one of tho American
girls who had married abroad, she did not
find me absorbing.
Mrs. Tissington said good by to us all
with an atfectionate fervor which at the
time did not seem warranted by any known
circumstances, and Templeton shook rs
by the hand and hoped we'd ''join him
next year.
Now this seems a very commonplace
sort of a story, and truly it is SO. But it
must be added that after it was all over,
just forty eight hours after. the engage
ment was announced of "James Temple
ton and Anita Anne Tissington, widow of
the late Horace Tissington, Esq, of New
York City"
Even this seems commonplace under the
circumstances, until it is narrated that at
a dinner recently given by my wife and
myself to my former host and chaperon,
Mrs. Templeton confined to the real head
of my household-not myself-that her
courtship was most romantic.
Can yon really believe it?'' said she;
my husband actually proposed to me on
a canal boat, and before breakfast"
