Deciduous and citrus Fruits

The market for fresh fruits has settled into
groove and trade is of small proportions from
day to day. with high grade apples and oranges
leading in point OF demand. Two cars of Oregon
Ben Davis apples from the Hood river and
the other from the Rogue river country, were
marketed yesterday and sold on well at $3.50

held. though trade not very active There
not much doing in navel oranges. the
weather being against the market. and prices
stood before quoted. Very little attention
paid to berries grapes, offerings of both
being too poor TO invite custom Eastern cram

make concessions to effect sales.

WORLDS OPIUM COMMISSION
SEVEN NATIONS CONSIDER RE

Interesting Statistics Of Growth OF

Special Cables1am to The Star.
SHANGHAI, March 1.-Good progress
is being made at the International opium

ports by the various delegations. Re-
ports, from which all controversial mat
ter had been omitted. have been present.
ed by seven nations-America. Great
Britain Excluding Canada and India.
whose statements will be tabled later).
Germany. who could congratulate her
self in having no serious opium problem;
Japan who by a curious oversight. which
will be rectihed later, omitted ali refer
ence to Kodea: Siam and tho Netherlands,
who presented q memorandum on the
opium monopoly in the Dutch East Indies.
China submitted her memorandum. an
Tong -kai-son, one of the delegates. in ex-
cellent Dnglish. Tong-kai-son admitted
that the information supplied regarding
the area under poppy cultivation and tho
number Of Chinese addicted to the use Of
opium was in the absence Of proper ma
chinery for collecting statistics. largely
guesswork.
The report itself. which is written in
lucid English. but Is hastily prepared.
opens with an historical note, showing
smoked in the middle OF the seventeenth
century, gives the net importations Of
foreign opium from 1858 to 1908. admits
that the decrease In the demand Tor for
eign opium from 1910 tons in 1880 to
3, 200 IONS in 1905 was due to dsplace-
ment by the native drug, estimates the
total production Of native opium in 1905
at a. 800 tons. and endavors to establish
that in 1908 the output ives reduced
q $50 tons. but the figures are admittedly
untrustworthy.
Millions Smoke In China.
The report estimates that In China, IN
a population Of 400. 100000. Of whom
$1,000. 600 are adult males. the total num-
ber of smokers Is 13.455,69A Attention y
drawn to the clandsstine importation OF
morphia, which is increasing at an enor-
nous extent, and the allegation Is made
that the main source Of supply ts Japan.
The report states that. according to tho
customs returns, only 06 ounces OF NOR
phia were imported into all China during
1907, yet shops are known where indf-
vidual stocks OF 1000 ounces are kept.
A list OF anti-opium remedies is e1ven.
all Of which contain opium or morphta-
Appendices are added which give q USE
ful collection OF DEGREES and regulations
in connection with tho anti-opium move
ment in China. No reference Is made to
the creation of an opium monopoly. and
the removal of existing clauses In the
treaties forbidding such monopoly In
China, as advocated In the opening Ad-
dress OF the vtceroy, Tuan-fang, whose
eign delegates and misconception OF the
functions and importance Of the commits
sion have not added to the dignity OF the
country which he represents. The frank
ness Of the report made a good impress

6cfIdCOf6 dJIU IIIeuNU6IS.
Senator Knox does not fall within the
list OF members to be thus remunerated,
with the state Department. but it is not
believed that the restrictions of the law
are such that they will stand in the way
of the commissions employment Of his
services All these gentlemen have given
special attention to branches of the work
OF the commission. and the other MEM
bers OF the commission think that their
retirement at this time would materially
cripple the organisation and cause the
loss Of much that has already been ac-
oomplished. 1t Is believed that the cennec-
tion of the Secretary Of State with the
commission will be a substantial aid to
gaining the confidence Of this or other
countries In the recommendations Of the
commission when made.

The PennsyIyanin Bin.

Comrade G.. w. Mitchell, Hoisington,
Kan, who served from Aug. 10, 1861,
to Jan. Is, 1866, in Co. G, 77th Pa,
writes: Il agree with those who think
the proposed pension bill in Pennsyl-
vania Is not what it ought to be. I
think the commission job merely graft;
that that is the real Inspiration for the
bill; no sense of justice or gratitude or
regard for comfort Of veterans is in
the hearts or minds of the creators of
such a proposition. Gratitude, desire
for their comfort, would reach beyond
State lines, and would Inevitably in
clude all, wherever they may be. 1t Is
not quality that limits its benefits to
those who may vote at certain polling
places. do not doubt many old Kew
stone veterans residing now in other
States write to the Governor of Penn
sylvania and to legislators there in re-
monstrance: but as they do not vote in
Pennsylvania they waste their time and
the price of their paper, envelopes and
postage stamps. 1t tries ones admira-
ton for his boyhood and wartime State.

vania soldier. That the G. A. r. could
favor such bill is even more a sur

regard whatever to TRADITIONS" but
approaching 1t as IL it were new char
acter and a new play. Mr.. Warfield
believes that old Shylock was possessed
of sense of humor. not always sar-
donic, either, and this he will try to
bring out clearly in his getting. His
conception of Shylock is of an Oriental
Jew in appearance, of man dignified,
proud and aristocratic in bearing, who
bends but not breaks before circum-
stances. Mr.. Warfield will endeavor to
speak Shylock's lines naturally, to make
them the speech of real man, trying
to blend their human and poetic quality
without losing sight of this naturalness.
From melodrama to Shakspere is in
deed far cry, but Mr.. Warfield has
shown a wonderful understanding Of
the tragedies of the human heart, and
it may be that it is he who is destined
to reveal more truly and clearly than
any of his predecessors the heart of
this despised, keenly sensitive, proud,
outwitted old Jew.
1t must, indeed, be trying to have a
would-be poet in the family, one who
has to be "shooed" off each morning to
work. and who is far from a merry
companion in the domestic circle. Such
a one was the stepson of a sensible,
spirited old gentleman in New York
State, who was completely out of SYM
pathy with what he considered fool
ishness and a wicked waste of time"
The stepson was a good bricklayer. and
could have had all the work he could
do, but he would hang around the house
writing stuff that he called poetry.
wanting to stop busy folks in the midst
of their work to read it to them when
he should have been laying bricks.
Things came to a crisis when on the
1G0th birthday of stepfather stepson
wrote a poem in honor of the event.
This was more than the disgusted- old
gentleman could stand. and he pitched
into stepson, and told him that, tho he
have none of his-versese writ about
him. Stepfather was SO badly bruised
that he had to go to the hospital for
repairs, and the magistrate, who had
possibly poetic soul himself, let step
son go.

The Recall.

Editor National Tribune: Your edi-
torial in recent issue on 1.-The Recalp'
as applied to this city was certainly
premature. The fact that the Mayor
and Chief of Police were in league with
grafters was common knowledge, but
their work was SO depraved that the
respectable dailies hesitated in printing
the details, and this new law, the recall.
was the only salvation of the city. Had
Mayor Harper been left undisturbed for
the balance of his unexpired term the
gang controlling him body and soul
would have bankrupted the city. No;
the recall is a blessing, and should be
adopted by every city In our land. The
good will never suffer from its enact
ment, and the bad, where public life
is at stake, cannot be strung up any
too quickly. Harper is succeeded by
man whose record in public life, ever
since his discharge as a private Union
soldier at the termination of the war,
has been above reproach, and when 1
saw him introduced to an audience as
the choice of the best people of Los
Angeles as their next Mayor and saw
the little bronze button" in his button
hole, said to a gentleman sitting next
to me: Here Is another illustration of
the truth Of Lincoln's prediction Just
before the clouds rolled away at Appo-
mattox, when asked, What asEnld be-
come of the country when the great
armies, North and South, were disband-
ed and idle He quickly replied: These
men will return to their homes, and,
where possible, will resume their form
er occupations, while many of them
will fill positions of trust" And here
at this late day, 44.years after its close,
one of its tried and true Is called to a
position of honor and trust that had
been dishonored, and we shall be safe
with It in mis- hands, Comrade George
Gath Iowa.-John @. A.
