Spanish War Claims

Lawyers of New York, who are push ing various claims against the govern ment growing out of the war with Spain and the Cuban insurrection preceding it, have received brief on demurrer to their petitions, in which the federal lawyers assert that Captain General Weyler's reconcentrado order was justiiable under the rules of civil lized warfare.
 The plaintiffs in the case claim that while they were citizens of the United States their sugar plantations were destroyed by the Cuban insurgents. The United States government is looked to for reimbursement because of the agreement with Spain as to the mutual relinquishment of claims on behalf of their citizens or subjects growing out of the war and insurrection and the announcement that the United States would settle the claims of its citizens against Spain so relinquished, as set forth in the peace treaty.
 The governments main contention is that state of actual warfare obtain ed in Cuba at the time of the alleged losses and that therefore under another provision of the treaty it is not liable.

BIG STREET CAR STRIKE
Ties Up the Car Lines of San Francisco
 Hard and Fast

A strike, involving nearly all of the street car lines of San Francisco, is probable. Thursday a committee from Division No. 25 of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Elm ployes of America called at the office of Manager E. P. Vining of the United Street railways and presented demands for flat rate of twenty-five cents an hour, the reinstatement of all union men discharged since September 8, 1901, and a complete recognition of the union. Vining did not see the men. He sent out word that he was busy, but gave the committee to understand that he would not see them as repre- sentatives of the union, but former employees might have an audience with him if they came as individuals. The demands were left at his office with a request that he fix time for the com mittee to meet him. There the matter stands but the outlook is ominous.
 The long-threatened strike of the employees of the United railway system was inaugurated Saturday night. Thus far the only lines affected are the Market and Powell street cable lines. At o'clock Saturday night there was a complete suspension of business on these streets and the cars were being stabled.
 Mayor Schmitz, who was at Sacra- mento when the strike was called, re- turned Sunday and at once entered into negotiations with the opposing sides for the purpose of bringing about an adjustment. He also took steps to protect property.

Will Rival Niagara

Several large water appropriations recently made upon the north fork of Feather river disclose the object of the late purchase of some 1000 acres of swamp and pasturage lands in the Big Meadows and Butte Valley basins, in Northern Plumas county. It has now become known that it is intended to convert these basins into great stor- age reservoirs and by about ten miles of canal and tunnel to convey 100 inches of water to the canyon of Mos- quito creek, where, with a verti cal fall of 1900 feet, it will be dropped again into the Feather. Here will be located the largest electrical transmission plant in the United States, save that of Niagara. and capable of generating upwards of 300, 900 horse power.
 The Big Meadows Basin of 11,000 acres will have the greatest capacity of any artificial storage reservoir known, and will impound about 50 per cent. of the freshet waters of the north fork of the Feather emptying into it. In addition to developing the mining and lumber interests of this mountain region as well as other in- dustries along the route, this power will be carried to San Franiccso, a distance of 1175 miles. large herd of fine cattle will be pastured during the coming season upon the lands acquired.

South Sea Earthquakes

Advises from Australia state that the New Hebrides islands were shaken by an earthquake one day last week. The shocks subsided next day somewhat, but at intervals were renewed through out the week. Six hours after the first trembling the sea became blaze of light and Albrim, Lopevi and .Tingoa volcanoes burst into action, the last named blowing out new throat into the sea and sending a great waterspout over .he land. The devastation caused by the earthquake was widespread.

Danger Point of Frost

Prof. A. G. McArdie, in charge of the weather bureau service in San Francicso, is recognized authority on frost damage, and here are some timely points of information made by him:
 "'The March and April frosts are especially to be guarded against. Prunes in bud are injured by temper aturems of 30 degrees; and later when the fruit is setting are injured if the temperature falls to 3l degrees. Almonds in bud may stand 2S degrees, but in blossom or when fruit is setting 30 dergees is dangerous temperature. Apricots are damaged when the fruit is setting by a temperature of 32 de- grees. Olives in blossom are injured at 31 degrees.

INCREASED IMMIGRATION
Forty-four Thousand Settlers Have
 Gone Into Washington This Year

Carefully prepared estiamtes show that 4,000 settlers have gone into the state of Washington alone this spring.
 Accurate figures as to the settlement in Northern Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana are not yet available, but it is thought that the statistics wi show at least 20 per cent more im- migrants than the figures for Washing ton. On this basis the settlement for the states from Minnesota west to the Pacific this spring has already reached total of 97 ,00O people. This is 31 ,00O more than the estimates of the move- ment during the spring of 1901.

Citrus Fruits in the East

Auction sales in the New York
 market last week comprise 1lS
 cars of oranges and one car of lemons,
 as compared with 97 cars the preced- ing week and 155 cars of oranges and five cars of lemons the corresponding
 period last season. These figures show
 falling off in receipts from last sea-
 son. Prices the early part of the week
 were strong, and strictly fancy navels
 in good order brought as high as $4.60
 for 96s; medium sizes, $3.75 to $4.00.
 After Wednesday, however, navels
 weakened and the market eased off at each sale, especially in lower grades. This was due in a great measure to considerable quantities of overripe fruit, some of which developed decay quite rapidly. Seeding sweets and
 bloods continue active and firm. fancy fruit realizing very satisfactory prices. Grapefruit is moving slowly, although there is fair demand for AS to GAS, if heavy and juicy. Seedlings and medium sweets are now in their prime. Commenting on the falling off in prices the latter part of the week, the Fruit Trade Journal says: "Some persons con ment upon the complaint among the trade that the Washing ton navels arriving the past two weeks will not stand up, and must be handled with the utmost dispatch in order to insure minimum loss on account of shrinkage. Of course, it is to be ex- pected with the end of the navel sea- son at hand that the fruit will not ex hibit the keeping qualities of earlier shipments, but with the use of iced cars buyers naturally looked for navels to show up better than they did under ventilation. Prominent buyers state that the appearance of the fruit when unloaded for sale is very deceptive.
 A lot that apparently is in good con- dition, in realty has small pin head rot spots which are not noticeable except | on very critical examination. After the fruit has been in store for day or | two, these spots enlarge very rapidly, making it necessary to repack. This, l no doubt is one of the principal reasons | why prices on all grades of navels de- clined the latter part of the week. The rot spotted fruit did not appear to be confined to any one section, but was noticeable in number of cars."
 There has been good and steady de- mand for oranges in Pittsburg at better prices.

order to prevent the escape of the

booths containing a table, writing
materials. telephone and electric
bells. and In front large board
for the display of the notices. AS
soon as a crime is committed bell
is set ringing which calls the near.

phonically of the details. and these
he promptly writes down and places
them on the display board, so that he
who runs may read. Thus. within a
few minutes of the preparation of
a crime, a public hue and cry is
raised, which It is hoped may end
speedily in the capture of the Grim.
