PAIN TALK TO THE SULTAN
HE PROMISES TO ACCEDE TO ALL
 DEMANDS AS USUAL
The Albanians Still Retain the Turkish Minister as Hostage. The Austro-Russian Accord is Considered Hopeful Sign.

Constantinople-The Italian, Rus sian, German and Austrian ambassa- dors to Turkey have had audiences with the sultan, in which they urged the imperative necessity of checking the Albanian disorders.
 Much comment has been raised by the significant fact that the Austrian and Russian ambassadors saw the sultan jointly, as this is almost un- precedented. It is reported that the representatives O. both these coun- tries took very serious tone. in speak ing with the sultan and that that ruler promised acquiescence with their demands.
 The Albanians at Eek still detain the sultan's commissioner as a hostage.
 Rome-Official information received here brings the assurance that the Austro- Russian accord in the matt er of the Balkans continues unshaken. This is believed to be the best guar antee that nothing serious will happen. According to dispatches received at the Turkish embassy here the troops in Albania and Macedonia are more than sufficient to check any distur- bance, while great majority of the people are hostile to an agitation.

PRESERVING CITRUS FRUIT.
LEMONS KEPT IN CONDITION FOR
 SIX MONTHS
Results of Trials Made by the Pomo's zical Bureau of the Department of Agriculture in the Pres ervation of Citrus Fruit

Washington-Experiment have been inaugurated by the agricultural depart ment which will be of much interest to people of Southern California. The cold storage of citrus fruits, and par ticularly of lemons. with view to holding the crop from four to six months, and then marketing, has been the subject of thorough tests. The work is carried on by the department of pomology, under the immediate direction of Assistant Pomologist William A. Taylor. For three years experiments have been going on in refrigeration, but until now apples, pears and peaches, particularly of the eastern varieties, have been the sub- jects of study. The results were so successful that special appropriation of SlO,O was made by the last con- gress.
 Now the department has broadened its experiments to include plums, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, cherries, gooseberries and lemons. Speaking of the lemon experiments, MT. Taylor said ''It is a popular belief that lemons cannot be preserved in cold storage for any length of time. Commercial experiments have, in number of instances, resulted in ex- pensive failures. Our experiments with other fruits, and particularly with peaches, which we find can be kept six weeks, have convinced us that the failures were due to lack of knowlegde of all the needful condi- tions. We believe lemons can be stored for periods of four to six months; and if we can show how, we will do great service to the industry.
 We have, therefore, sent an agent to Chicago, where the storage will be arranged for. We have secured the co operation of the Santa Fe railroad and the California Fruit Exchange, and the experiments will be made on large scale, and under regluar mar ket conditions. In accord with our practice, we guarantee the private parties from loss and take full super vision of the subject of the experi- ment. Peaches, apples and pears have been shipped to European markets under the auspices of the department, and have brought good profits. Of late the department has become inter- ested in the foreign exportation of California oranges. It is believed that certain varieties can be put into London, Paris, Brussels and Berlin at a fine profit.
 Refrigeration must be studied. In it's experiments the department follows the fruit from its orchard environ ments to the consumer. Irrigation is one of the many conditions which is found to enter into the problem of preservation. In the case of lemons, for instance, it may be found neces- sary to modify certain of the practices of irrigationists. Final results will hardly be available for year."

this afternoon, on the Ouimby Athlet-
ic field in their first game of the sea-
son. This year it is hoped that Gardi-
ner has a winning team. Capt. Hop
kins has been doing some hard wari
with his men since thew have reported.
There are seven of the old men in the
team. this year and all of the backs
are in their old positions. The line has
been strengthened by four men. These
are heavier than last years men, their
weight being near an average Of 165
pounds, remarkably heavy team for a
high school. There has been some al
terations on the field. Formerly the
field has run as did the baseball dia-
mond, but this year, it will run almost
opposite. This gave an advantage of
no down hill work for either side. Next
week, one of the city teams will put in
two days work with the boys and
place the field in a good condition.
While it is not sure that the team will
arrive from Monmouth, if it does, the
game will be called at 8 o'clock Good
support is expected from the public
and they will be given full value for
their money. Almost every Saturday
afternoon is taken with a game and a
few Wednesdays.
