395,594. In 1884 the number had in
creased to 69,210 barrels. In 1888
the export business amounted to L.
407, 400 barrels, and this increased in
1896 to the enormous total of 2,919,846
barrels and $4,000 boxes. There was
an unusual number of apples produc-
ed in the United States that year, a
crop the size of which, considering
the number of bearing trees at that
time, may never be equalled again.
1t is estimated that 65,000,000 barrels
of apples were raised in this country
during that year. Naturally such an
abnormal crop caused the exporta-
lions of apples that year to be very
high and it did not again equal this
record until in 10000, when the ex-
ports amounted to 3,469,763 barrels
and 413,356 boxes. This year it is

commission idea of selling goods ?"
Mr.. White says: Cup to the present
time do not think they would be fav-
orably impressed with sending goods
to be sold on commission in eastern
markets. 1t is usually SO with local
dealers. Some of the local dealers
seem to make quite as much money
as the grower. At one place in par
ticular one of the dealers has one of
the most magnificent premises l have

The History of the Apple Business as

While there have been good and bad
years in the history of the apple in

wheat growing and in the raising of

port business from this country, as
shown by figures, has been one of
gradual expansion, and while the
growth probably has not been SO great
as it will be during the coming few
years, yet it has been nevertheless
encouraging.

DIRECTOR ISHII'S VISIT.
Has Long Contemplated Trip to This
Country.

SouuITy.
The object of Director Ishifs visit to the
United States, according to advices re-
ceived here, Is to ascertain the accuracy
OF reports sent to the Japanese government
by Japanese residents of San Francisco.
and to make inquiry regarding the alleged
discrimination against the japanese SUBJ
jects of the Pacific coast. He will be ac-
companied by 8. Morimoto, a prominent
politician. who is supporter Of the present
ministry Upon their return to Japan the
the foreign office.
At the Japanese embassy today the
statement was made that Director Ishii Of
the commercial bureau of the foreign Of
fee had contemplated a trip to the United
States for some time. Mr.. Miyaoka the
counselor Of the embassy, said that he
had received a letter from Mr. Ishii which
indicated that If the latter obtained a va
cation this year he felt strongly inclined
to make trip to the United States. Moth
ing would be more natural, said Mr. Miya-
Okla, than that the director should make
a trip across the ocean as part of his sum-
mer vacation and at the same time give
some attention to the various Japanese
consulates in the United States That
would be combining business with pleas
ure. The counselor explained that the
japanese department of foreign affairs is
divided into three bureaus Of which tie
commercial bureau. practically the consular
bureau, is one. Mr.. Ishi is at the head of
that bureau, which has direct supervision
of the Japanese consulates throughout the
world and incidentally tax cognzance
of certain immigration matters that come
under the bureau of foreign affairs The
visit of Mr. Ishii." said Mr.. Miyaoka,
must not be regarded as significant, and
any Interior motives which may be asso-
ciated with it must be ascribed to the
lingo newspapers of Japan.

OAKLAND, Cal, July 9.-Secretary Met
calf Of the navy deprecates the warlike
aspect that has been given the order for
the cruise of the great battieshp squadron
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast The
Secretary said last night that the proposed
movement was that of practice cruise
and that the fleet would not be kept in
the Pacific permanently. He declared that
the length of time that the fleet would re-
main on the western side of the continent
had not yet been decided.
With considerable emphasis the Secretary
voiced his opinion that the warlike inter-
probation that had been made in connection
with the fleets movement was not justified
by the facts. In fact. the widely published
reports suggesting hostile preparations
seem to be a source of irritation for the
head of the navy. He said:
The feet which will be moved from the
Atlantic to the Pacific this winter is COM
Ing to this side merely on a practice cruise.
The fleet will consist of sixteen or more
vessels, not more than twenty, and its stay
on this eide will not be permanent. OF
course, the fleet will not come here. turn
around and go right back again. How long
it will remain in the Pacific will be de-
termined at the proper time.
There is no sound reason or excuse for
all this talk by the public and through the
press of an attempt to overawe the Japa-
nese by a warlike naval display. l do not
believe that the newspapers are justified
or right in SO constituting and coloring the
cruise of the warships to the Pacific.
Every year the Atlantic fleet has been
Guantanamo. This year We will order the
fleet to the Pacific. The long cruise will
give the men and the vessels a thorough
test and improve the efficiency Of BOTH
