RAISING PEARLS IN MEXICO.

The cultivation of pearls in Mexico is discussed in an illustrated article in the June Popular Mechanics. It states ::
 The method of cultivation. is inter esting In the first place the. oysters are gathered in the season when tle eggs are being deposited These eggs are carefully placed in artificial pools with bottoms like the natural bottom of the sea, care being taken to pro- tect them from their natural enemies. At the proper age they are advanced into deeper water, where larger boxes continue to protect them. The shells which have by this time formed, are here sorted and the dead ones thrown out. The live shells are transferred to the deep water cages and left to de- velOp. At the end of two years the the harvest is ready. The divers then descend and gather them without risk. The gross receipts of the second har- vest produced was over $2000e0.
 Under the usual system of pearl fishing, the industry is something of lottery. Bushels of shells sometimse yield but few gems or possibly none at all. After two years the shells lose the pearl within, and unless ope ned at the proper time no treasure is found.

 FINE FRUIT-Ernie Hall yesterday brought to the board of trade some fruit samples worth while. One was number of peaches, the first that have been brought to the board this year and the first in town this season so far as could be learned. Another exhibit was a couple of boxes of dew berries that are just as fine as they could be and still another was box of Logan berries. a fruit that is being eXperimented with here but has never been grown for the market to amount to anything. The berries however seem to be even larger than the Cali fornia berries and equally as well fla vored. one more offering was a box of strawberries. These are notably large and not only that were well rip ened all over, which is apt not to be the case in very large berries. The Hall Bros. are experimenting very eX- tensively with berries and small fruit and this season will give them a good idea of what can be grown here and the best varieties.

The vicinity of Tucson has been selected as the place for the eel ebration on account of it's locality as the center of the colored population of the territory. MT.

AN ITALIAN TRIUMPH.

fort. particularly I'm athletics. with the
more vigorous stock OF the western

feat of John Hayes. the American boy
WHO triumphed in England only to be
defeated at the Madison Square Garden
contest OF Wednesday night.
From beginning to end OF that re-
markable race the Italian was never in
danger OF defeat, although Hayes made
some remarkable dashes to gain the
lead and hold it. But Dorando was the
better runner. not only in speed. but in
stamina and general athletic condition.
He was not only fast but he was game,
the better man all around, and his tri-
umph IS occasion for revision OF the
notion that the Italians are a negligible
quantity in sports or in any branch Of
athletics.
AS a matter OF fact. the Italian army
has long been known for the daring and
skill Of its cavalry branch; the italy Of

EOMENT IN INDIA.

The natives are not all satisfied with
British rule in India There have been
outbreaks from time to time ever since
the days of Lord Give. and at the pres
ent moment there are evidences of that
unrest which sooner or later will result
in open rebellion. Blowing Sepoys from
the cannon's mouth would not do in
these days, and unless Great Britain
can win back her rebellious subjects by
tact and diplomacy the future is dark
indeed for the integrity of the British
empire.
Nov. was the fiftieth anniversary
of Queen Victoria's assumption of SUI
premacy in India. and King Edward.
as emperor, published a proclamation
congratulating his Oriental subjects
upon the unbroken peace and the fulfill
ment of Queen Victoria's promise The
proclamation promised an extension Of
the principles OF representative govern
ment. allowing the more important
classes a share in the legislation. The
proclamation failed to pacify the ma
tives and the situation is full of peril
There have been numerous assassina-
lions and attempts to kill British Off
cia's in the past few days, and Lord
Mimic. the governor general. has been
compelled to abandon his tour of the
provinces and hasten back to Calcutta
in an endeavor to quell the rising
storm.
Race hatred is at the bottom of the
trouble. From generation to generation
the story of the oppression of the Eng
l;shmen has been handed down, and
after a century and a half of military
rule the people of India are approach
ing the time when an attempt will be
made 10 cast of the yoke. OF course,
it is idle to suppose that the East In
dams could rise and chase the British
troops out of the country, but the first
time Great Britain becomes involved in
a great war the opportunity wifibe en-
braced to strike a blow for freedom.

is not so squeamish. and Senator Full
ton. who hasn't any reputation to lose.
would grab at the chance, even after
having been repudiated by his party.
Senator Bourne who was also chosen
at primary election. believes in abid-
ing by the expressed will OF the peo-
pie. and says he has no doubt of Cham
berlain's election. Bourne achieved
some prominence and not a little no.
toriety by his advocacy Of a Second
elective term" for President Roosevelt.
This is the way Senator Bourne looks
upon the situation in Oregon:
II is entirely possible that this law is
unconstitutional. and it may be that the
pledges made by the members of the leg
islature before election are not legally or
constitutionally binding That Is. il is pos
sible that a member could not be penal
lied in any way for breaking his pledge.
or in any way be compelled TO keep his
pledge. But there is a higher law than
either statutes or constitutional law. and
that is the moral law. Contracts and con-
tractual obligations are very serious
things. and the highest possible form OF
contract is that made between represen-
tatiVe and his constituent. He promises
the people to do certain things il he is
elected. If he does not keep his promises,
he has obtained his office under false pre-
lenses. The mere fact that a Republican
may be bound to vote for Democrat I'M
der such pledges in no way relieves him
from his solemn promise In fact. the ar
gument that Republican legislature
should not be expected To elect a Demo-
cratic senator has little weight with the
people of Oregon They elected Chamber
lain as governor at the same time they
elected a Republican legislature. and they
voted for him for United States senator
at The same time they voted for Republi-
can Legislators
II is simply a question OF whether the
legislators are 10 Keep their pledges and
obey the mandate of the people OF Ore
gOn. or whether the legislators will break
their pledges; whether the people or the
politicians shall rule.
The words OF Senator Bourne have the
right ring and the disreputable element
of the Republican party in Oregon
should profit thereby The outcome of
this second attempt to elect senator
by the people viii be watched with
considerable interest. but il seems rea-
sonable to suppose that Chamberlain
will triumph unless pressure from
Washington is brought to bear upon
the legislators
