SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-Califor-
mia apples, pears and plums have been
condemned by the government authori-
ties of the Department of Agriculture
in Australia. Large shipments of fruit
from this coast to New South Wales
and other provinces have been rejected
and denied landings. The most deci-
sive action has been taken by the AUS
tralian officials and if they do not re-
cede from their position the market for
California fruit in that part of the
world is ruined.
The cause for the rejection of the
product of this State was the discov-
cry that the fruit shipped from Califor-
mia was infected by the dreaded Goblin
moth. The fruit merchants Of Sydney
and other cities protested against the
action of the authorities but their OBJ
jections to the course pursued were in
vain. The Secretary of Agriculture re-
manned firm and refused to concede a
point. ~
1t is the hardest blow that California
exports have received in many years.
In every steamer that sailed it was for
merly the custom to send from 10000 to
$4,000 cases of fruit, mostly apples, but
large quantities of pears and plums.
The shipments havs now stopped, for
will not be landed. The fruit sent on
the steamers Sonoma and Sierra was
condemned
The cargoes were denied landings and
were placed on lighters in the harbor.

A QUICK CHANGE

There was quite a remarkable change
in the weather this morning between
ten o'clock and noon, when the wind
suddenly shifted from southwest to
northeast. At ten o'clock Observer
Ashley's instruments i'm the federal sta
tion showed a wind velocity of 16 miles
southeast. At noon the direction was
exactly the opposite, northwest, and
the velocity was II miles. The change
made an immediate difference in the
local atmosphere, moderating the feel
ing Of closeness that prevailed earlier
in the day. The wind during the night
was southeast, its velocity at eight
o'clock this morning being 20 miles.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 25.-
The Examiner says
Persistent rumors in circulation here
for several weeks that Captain Going
of the Japanese steamship America
Maru, quietly married his divorced wife
in Japan last June turn out to be true.
The woman is a Eurasion or half-caste
and Captain Going remarked her in
the office of E. c. Bellows, at YOko-
hama. Bellows is the American Con-
sul-General in the MikadO's realm. AS
required by law, Bellows sent a copy
of the marriage license to the State
department at Washington where it is
now on record.
B. A. Harnett, acting general agent
of the japanese Steamship Company
in this city, has known of Captain Go
ing's June wedding for some time past.
Captain Going remarked his divorced
native wife in Yokohama last June"
said Mr.. Harnett. 81 did not know

necessity for any secrecy in the mat

am morally assured that Mahaulu's
hands were anything but clean in all
of those Land Office transactions, we
were not trying the case that way.
We had to decide whether the two par
ticular sums mentioned in the indict-
ment were embezzled and converted
to Mahaulu's own use at that certain
particular time. This was not proved
to my satisfaction nor to the satisfac-
tion of the jury. The law that It is
not an embezzlement to cover up de-
falcations from month to month by
transferring balances was a surprise
to me but of course the instructions of
the court must be followed.
''The Carter incident certainly had
some effect on some of the jurors for
they thought that as he had launched
the prosecution, he should not have
been above appearing but for my part
his absence made no difference as At
torney Thompson got in the matter
that he wanted to prove without the
Governors testimony"
Judge Gear had little to say about
the case when asked.
"The trial was heightened out by
the tactics pursued by the defence
which were perfectly legitimate. The
different objections made were perth
nent and had to be considered. The
only real difficulty was over the in
structions to the jury when the pro-
secution wished me to insert para
graph to the effect that the jury must
find the defendant guilty of embezzie-
ment if the evidence showed that he
had taken the money and had then
deposited it in the treasury to some
other account that is to say, to find
him guilty of taking money which as
a matter of fact is in the treasury"
Governor Carter was asked his view
of the matteF,but he had nothing to
say at present"

The Fruit Merchants Association of
New South Wales made a written pro-
test to the authorities and a special
plea that the apples be received. That
body pointed out that Australian fruits
could not be contaminated by the i'm
ported fruit because they were already
alive with the Goblin moth. The argu-
ment was advanced that the failure of
the apple crop in the provinces made
the shipments badly needed by the peo-
pie. In the face of all protests, how
ever, the authorities refused to receive
the fruit.
What disposition will be made of the
fruit already shipped but rejected local
exporters have not yet decided. An eff
fort will be made to induce the authori-
ties to allow it to be landed after it
has been fumigated on the lighters in
the harbor. That failing will most
likely be necessary to dump the fruit
into the sea.
In support of their stand the Aus
tralian agricultural officers cite their
action a year ago in condemning the
bananas then imported by the mer-
chants there. The bananas were in
fected by a fruit fly which it was fear
ed would fasten itself upon other va
reties of fruit in the interior states.
The embargo was however, later re-
moved. The course then followed, con-
tend the authorities, greatly improved
the quality of the bananas imported.
The condemnation of American fruits
has the same purpose in view.

Report comes from Henry coun-
ty OF the horrible death Of q little
child and negro woman last week
under most peculiar circumstances.
The negro had prepared cabbage to
boil for dinner. Close to the din
ner hour the child became hungry,
and the negro gave her some soup
from which the cabbage had been
boiled, and in a few minutes she
became very sick and her parents,
who were at church, were sum-
moned.. Medical assistance was also
summoned, but the little child died.
The negro was accused of poisoning
it, but she protested her innocence,
and to convince the parents she said
she would drink some of the soup
herself, (which she did, and was
taken sick just ike the little child,
and died in a few minutes. Upon
examination Of the pot Of cabbage
a small green snake was, found in
the leaves Of the cabbage, to which
the doctors assigned the cause of
the death Of the little child and the
negro woman. ....' SEED ~ ~rs

BEAUTY SPOT At THE III|:.. FAIR FAIR.
One of the Most Remarkable and
Extensive Collections Of
Wild Flowers.
1t Is Set Ont to Initiate Nature, and
the Florists Have Been Emil
nently Successful. M

st, Louis, Aug. 6.-One of the most
remarkable and extensive collections of
wild flowers that has ever been brought
together is the wild garden at the
Worlds fair, on the western slope of
agricultural hill. Unlike all other col
lections of wild flowers, this collection
has been set out to initiate nature, and
so successful have the florists been that
no one would ever suspect that the col
lection was anything but wild spot
of Forest park left untouched by the
lawn builders and gardeners at the
Worlds fair. The object of the depart
ment of Horticulture in setting out the
garden was to bring together collec
ton of all the known wild flowers in
eigenous to the Mississippi valley, and
replant them in way to give the
whole garden an appearance of nat
ural country scene. There is no order
or arrangement of any kind. The lit
tie blue fig-wort is hidden by the state
ly purple blazing star, and the golden
rods are mingled with the wild-phlox,
the horse-mint and the black-eyed
Susans. Wild grasses cover the entire
plot, the little flowers struggling hard
to keep their heads above the grassy
carpet, only to be hidden by thick clus-
ters of tansy, sunflowers, striped loose
strife, tick-seed, compass plant, chicory
and other tall flowers One may. see
the poke berries, which are always
plentiful, especially when small boys
are hunting wild grapes, gooseberries
with "stickers,' mullen with its tall
yellow spike. At the foot of the hill
is pond almost hidden by the wild
cherry and the elm trees. and half
covered with water lilies, poppies and
lemna, the smallest Towering plant
known. Lining the little brook that is
fed by the spring one may see dozen
Or more varieties of ferns growing
gracefully between the moss-covered
rocks. The plants were all collected
in the woods around st. Louis, under
the direction. of ]. H. Hadkinson, and
were set out last fall and spring Over
two hundred varieties of wild flowers
are growing, and about thirty varieties
of shrubbery.

Weather and Crop Report.

Section Director Bate, Of the eli

weather bureau, last week issued the
following bulletin of general condi-
lions in Tennessee.
Good local showers fell during the
week over the greater portion Of the
eastern and middle division, but there
are many localities in which the
amount Of rainfall was so small that
but little benefit resulted and In many
drouth conditions still prevail with
detrimental effect on those crops
which are in process of maturing. This
is especially true of many portions
OF the western division and some por-
tons of the middle division, AS a
rule, however, crops are in good condi-
ton of growth and development. Corn
prospects are exceptionally fine, and
the early portion Of the crop is almost
assured, and promises good yield;
the later portion is in good condition,
but in the dry belts is beginning to
need moisture. Cotton has made good
growth and has advanced to good
normal condition for this period of its
development; 1t Is reported to be'fruit-
ing well In most sections but in some
the dry weather is causing more or
less shedding. Tobacco is in excel
lent condition, and most of the crop
has been topped. Wheat threshing is
still in progress but nearing compile
ton, with good yields and fine quail
fly reported. "A fine crop of oats has
been harvested, Much fine hay has
been saved. Peas and millet are in
