The report that London capitalists stand ready to take in hand the consolidation of all debts of Mexico, internal and foreign, national and State, furnishing therefor $60,-000,000 to carry out their plans, is confirmed by advice from England. Three years ago W.B. Faine took up a Government ranch on a mountain in San Diego county, adjoining a ranch owned by Helm brothers. The latter became angry, as they wanted the land he took, and when he took possession Chat Helm fired at him, and a battle took place, none being killed. Since then there have been namarous shooting afrays and arrests. Recently Faine made preparations to slope with Chat Helm's daughter. Helm learned of this, and it is alarmed. As elsewhere no formal demand was made on the employer. At the Well-Pench On Company's shops every one of the thousand employees went out, and the shops were closed. The black-matter was the only man who made known their demand, which was for eight hours on a day's work. At P. K. Robert's laundry it was said the men annual axioms for either a strike or a vacation, so the works had been shut down till next Monday to accommodate them and make repairs. The entire number of employees of the N. K. Farbank Company (mares and lard) will go out on Monday. The company, to the number of 80, struck this morning. This was a surprise as the man employed by Fairland are receiving better wages than those paid elsewhere. They want eight hours' work and nine hours' pay. About six hundred men will strike. The employers are current in their demand for eight hours and in all portions of the city men are quitting, work on refusal of the employers to marrander. In the northwestern districts of the city there is not one cooper working. From three to four thousand door and blind makers walked out of the various factories in the northwest lumber district this morning. Their action was entirely without warning. The men came to their places as usual this morning, and with a few exceptions, proceeded to work, when the whistle blew an hour or so later, they throw down their tools and quietly walked out, giving no explanation. A report is current to night that nearly all the planing-mill men in the city will quit to morrow. It is also said that all the wood workers, in whatever branch of the business, were restless and might join the strikers at any moment. Everything remained quiet to-night, notwithstanding the large number of men idle, and the police say they do not anticipate any disturbance. Four hundred men in Demman's Furniture Factory and 700 in the Chicago Cottage Organ Factory struck this afternoon for eight hours. Several thousand lumber shearsers in the lumber district along Black Road are dimissified and a strike is anticipated among them. About a mile river runs through this district; there is no train in it in 1890 feet deep. The right River waits in Pennsylvania. The intimation vents, so that it cannot take over the company which estimated age is provided plant it will give most complete account of its sphere.

Helm learned of this, it is said, ambushed and shot Faine, killing him. The public debt statement issued last week shows: Interest bearing debt, principal $797,802,082; interest $6,053,271; total $803,855,353; debt on which interest has ceased since maturity, principal and interest $1,975,747; debt bearing no interest, $790,011,194; total debt, principal $1,595,842,296; total debt, less available cash items, $1,051,451,393; net cash in treasury, $359,302,623; debt, less cash in treasury May 1, 1860, $1,015,520,771; debt, less cash in treasury April 1, 1890, $1,023,157,672; decrease in debt during the month, $7-636,901; decrease in debt since June 30, 1889, $61,125,851; total cash in treasury, as shown by Treasurer's general account $632,-254,688. With the exception of a few unimportant disturbances in France and Austria, the first of May passed off quietly. In many cities of the United States shorter hours were conceded to the workingmen. In Milwaukee the master carpenters declined to grant the demand as a body but individual members did so, and a general strike was avoided. At Chicago and St. Louis there were large demonstrations but they went off in an ordarly manner. The labor parade at the former city contained 35,000 men and was four miles long. At Boston about one hundred firms have granted eight hours. In this State the eight-hour system went into effect in Oakland without any conflict. In Berlin most of the smaller factories closed, to enable their men to enjoy a holiday. S.D. Hosmer, a farmer residing on the Mountain View and Saratoga road, was swindled out of $1,000 by two sharpers at San Jose Tuesday night. One said he was a real-estate agent and the other claimed to be Louisiana lottery agent, giving his name as Clark. Clark said he conducted the drawing himself when tickets were bought and induced Heamer to invest. The latter drew a $1,000 prize but was told that before it was paid he must show that he was worth $1,000. He had $625 with him and went to Santa Clara and drew $700 more. Clark said he did not have enough money with him to pay the prize but would return the next day. He induced Hoamer to put $1,-000 in a tin box and hide it under the floor of a house. Clark did not return, and when Hoamer examined the box on Tuesday he found in it nails instead of money. It has just come to light that a party of Chinese who last week attempted to smuggle themselves into the United States from Lower California got lost in one of the deserts, and had a terrible experience, one of the party dying of thirst and exposure. They found the frontier so closely guarded that they stole to the eastward and got into the desert. Here they got lost and wandered aimlessly around for several days, suffering greatly. One of the Mongolians was a lad of some 14 years. He gave out under the terrible suffering and became crazy.

It has just come to light that a party of Chinese who last week attempted to smuggle themselves into the United States from Lower California got lost in one of the deserts, and had a terrible experience, one of the party dying of thirst and exposure. They found the frontier so closely guarded that they stole to the eastward and got into the desert. Here they got lost and wandered aimlessly around for several days, suffering greatly. One of the Mongolians was a lad of some 14 years. He gave out under the terrible suffering and became crazy. In his ravings he imagined that the blistering cands were limpid water, and eagerly filled his parched mouth with the burning particles. This only added to his suffering and he laid down to die, his bones being in too pitiful a condition to render him any assistance. They heaped a pile of sand upon him and left him while they continued their aimless wanderings. They at last reached the railroad minus everything they had attempted to bring into the country except the clothing upon their banks. They had thrown away the bundles containing a large quantity of opium. Sensation of Strikes. Chicago, May 2.—The threatened strikes in this city which may be said to have technically begun yesterday, when organized labor took its holiday, were not made apparent until this morning when the man failed to rename work at many shops. Black road in the vicinity of McCormick's Reaper Works had much the same appearance as it had four years ago. Names but strikers could be seen and they had entire possession. Every man, boy and girl employed in the Mallable Iron Works, on Twenty-sixth and Rockwell streets are out. The total number of employees is 1,200. No particular reason was assigned by the man for quitting work. A committee was appointed last night to wait upon the officials, but they seemed disinclined to go before their employers. President Bailley called the strikers about him and upraised them for going out without notice and told them, when they found out what they wanted, to let him know their demands. The man seemed not to know what to say in reply. The chairman of the moldem' committees says they want 10 hours as a day's work, 15 cents advance in wages and 30 per cent extra for overtime. As the great McCormick Reaper Works about fifty molders went out, just work was progressive as usual. A large proportion of the employees of the foundatione of Barnum & Richard, the Ajax Fargo Company and the Chicago Wheel Company went out, and these concerns are Keeping Petitions. Robert Campion of San Diego, in conversation with a reporter, lately said: I have noticed a general complaint that potatoes grown in this county do not possess the keeping qualities of the foreign-grown. Now I claim to be an expert on potato-raising, and have carefully examined specimens from various potatoes are equal to the tubers raised in any other part of the globe. The difficulty of keeping potatoes in a marketable condition seems to lie entirely with the growers of this county, and it appears that, when the potatoes are dry, no precautions are taken to exclude them from the air and sunlight. Now in Ireland and other European countries, where potatoes form one of the chief articles of food, great care is exercised that they be kept perfectly sound from the time of their digging in September or October until the new crop comes in, which is 12 months later. How do they do it? Well, the modus operandi in Ireland is as follows: When the potatoes are dug they are immediately picked up and deposited in a trench near by about 3 feet deep and 2½ feet wide, and kept very carefully in pyramidal form, pains being taken to avoid bruising them. Straw is then placed over them to the depth of about two inches, and earth placed over the straw to the depth of about four inches. Another layer of straw is placed on the top of this, and then more earth on top again. This is done to exclude both the air and sunshine, which so quickly deteriorate the value of potatoes in San Diego county. But there is no reason why potatoes treated as I have described should not keep perfectly sound for 12 months. A Grand Water Scheme. Los Angeles Express. Charles R. Barnes of Pandora has just returned from a tour over the surveyed hills of the San Lein Rey Flume, of which company he is in director. The San Lein Rey Flume when completed will be the greatest irrigation scheme ever conserved in Southern California, in fact on the Pacific Coast for that matter. Benjamin Schmidt of New York, engineer of the Cotton expenditure, is commencing engineering. He has just completed his second trip over the flume. The estimate, which has been detailed feasible, is taking water out of the superior Lain Rey River which is in the Warner's mouth country, and carry it in a flume to San Diego, a distance of forty miles. This flume will furnish winter to irrigate all the land between the mountains on the north and the south on the south, about 200,000 acres tall. Advises from that of France report that Fortunately there is no cotton seed in Art of fine "imported" or to go without. The country is made in India.

A milestone this diverting dam in an enormous reservoir size, covering 6,000 acres. The intention is to build here a dam to store water he used in the event of a drought. It will be 180 feet high, and the water will be 40 feet deep. The San Luis Rey flume will irrigate Bear valley, San Marina, Linda Vista, Pemupatuan, Manado and Omanada. The intention is to build a chain of reservoirs so that all of this country can be covered. To complete this mammoth undertaking over 98,000,000 is required. The company which has the work in charge has maintained capital, C. R. Hahn of Chicago is president. When the flume is completed it will give San Diego the finest and most complete system of irrigation of any motion of country on the western hemisphere. The San Diego flume and the sweetwater dam were great undertakings, but the magnitude of the San Luis Rey flume overshadows them all. Ground Measure of Irrigation in Egypt. The population, which according to the census of 1845, numbered about 4,000,000, is now rather over 6,500,000. The Egyptians are a healthy and prodigious race, and with the modern sanitary and medical administration we have introduced, with a sensation of the blood tax of Equatorial Africa war, the population may soon reach the dimensions of the Roman period, when Egypt maintained 9,000,000 souls and was the granary of the Mediterranean world. The area of land under cultivation has increased from 3,500,000 to about 6,000,000 acres; and throughout the lower delta large tracts of fertile waste lands are in course of successful reclamation. The cultivated soil has thus increased not only 70 per cent, but still more in productiveness. At the death of Mahomed Ali cotton exports amounted to 275,-000 kantars only. The production rapidly increased during the American War, and in 1865 the exports rose to about 1,800,000. Pentitious of the Planets Having May. The planet Mercury, upon which many haloscope are now turned with more than ordinary interest, is at present an evening star, and after晨星 may be seen not far from the northwestern horizon. In marked contrast to the poorly whitening of Venus, near which it glimmers through the mists, "the sparkling one," as it was appropriately named by the ancients, has a yellow tinge, is smaller, swifter in motion and illuminates the twilight hours but for a few successive days at each period of visibility. It would not be easy to imagine a more pleasing study than a careful observation each evening of its apparent motion during its brief visit to the western sky. If Venus, unmistakable on account of its size and luster, and Alderbaran, the nearest fixed star of the first magnitude, be used as landmarks, it will seem become evident that Mercury is ascending toward the latter until May 6th, when it may be found nearly in a line with it, toward the north. After this date, having completed its upward range, the little planet reaches rapidly toward the horizon, being much lower at a corresponding hour each night, and passing Venus on the 9th sets in an early before the month is far advanced. During its brief appearance it exhibits varying phases, like those of the moon, but these manifestations of borrowed light make little difference in its aspect to the observer not favored with advantages of magnifying power. Students of astronomy may be interested in knowing that its greatest eastern elongation on May 6th is 21°18', that it passes its descending node on the 22d inst., and is in interior conjunction with the sun on the 29th. To those who see the sparkling planet at its greatest distance from the horizon it seems surprising that Copernicus should have died without ever beholding the little orb whose true position in the solar system he was the first to understand. Probably the heavy fogs on the bands of the Vistula, near where he resided, account for the deprivation. This swiftly moving orbit, that has Farm Notes. Haywards farmers who were prevented from sowing the usual amount of wheat and barley on account of the rains, will plant the fields to corn when they are well dried out, and expect to get a good crop. It may pay them better than other grain. Advice from the olive-producing section of France report the crop of olives short. Fortunately there is a prospect of a fine crop of cotton seed in America, so that the lover of fine "imported" olive oil may not be forced to go without. The only pure olive in the crop which keeps the pot boiling in Egypt. — London Times. Farm Notes.

Fortunately there is a prospect of a fine crop OF cotton seed IN AMERICA; so that THE LOVER OF FINE "IMPORTED" OLIVE OIL MAY NOT BE FORCED TO GO WITHOUT. The only pure olive IN THE COUNTRY IS MADE IN CALIFORNIA. The rabbit-drive near Paskwood School House; near Vissalia; last Sunday; was very successful; over three hundred OF THEM BEING Killed. Two years ago; at a drive in that same neighborhood; more than three thousand rabbits were killed; and again 1,100. This leads to THE BELIEF THAT Rabbits ARE BEING SCARCE; especially IN Paskwood DISCARDING. Vega;the clear; white star;that glistens AT DUSK IN THE NORTHEAST;is destined AT A DISTANT DATE TO BE THE POLE STAR OF OUR WORLD; as THE North pole IS SLOWLY MELTING IN THE DIRECTION OF THIS PEARLY ORB.

Fortunately there is a prospect of a fine crop of cotton seed in America, so that the lover of fine "imported" olive oil may not be forced to go without. The only pure olive in the country is made in California. The rabbit-drive near Paekwood School House, near Vissalin, last Sunday, was very successful, over three hundred of them being killed. Two years ago, at a drive in that same neighborhood, more than three thousand rabbits were killed, and again 1,100. This leads to the belief that rabbits are becoming scarce, especially in Packwood district. There is blooming in the Guajome courtyard, in the San Luis Rey Valley, a beautiful specimen of the Mexican rose, the cutting of which was brought from the City of Mexico by Chico Foster. The blossoms are four or five inches in diameter, pure white, and it resembles much the wild sweet briar, having only five petals. D. N. Pristemben, the well-known stockraiser of Butte county, claims that he can raise four times as many cattle upon the same area by cutting the alfalfa and feeding it to the animals as he can by allowing them to roam over the pasture and eat the grass. William Robson reports that the deer have played havoc with the olive trees on the Gahaliae, near Hollister. He was obliged to abstent himself from his ranch for a considerable period last fall, and when he returned found the deer had stripped every tree clear of its leaves. One would think the deer would manage to find something sweeter than olive leaves and berries to feed upon. A fowl is needed which will mature quickly and grow to five or six pounds, alive. This bird should lay large, brown eggs, and when ready for market drums plump, yellowskin and manly. The fowl which will till these demands will be a source of profit, regardless of name or breed. There is no pure bread fowl than just mite the purpose. No fowl having dark plumage given the highest satisfaction; no chickens cannot be dressed for market at their best age. As the monsoon advances the crop outlook in the northern counties becomes better. The crop on a great deal of land was drowned out. On a large percentage of land intended to be planted crops could not be put in admixture of the condensed corn meal. On such land as is not abundantly drained out the grain is planted by the hand crumb on the two of the ground, but there is much fine grain. With an undesirable occurrence from near on them will be a great deal of very fine wheat. The danger near in from rolling and from rust. The yield may be 50 per cent of last year. Vega, the clear, white star that glistens at dusk in the northeast, is destined at a distant date to be the pole star of our world, as the North pole is slowly melting in the direction of this pearly orb. It scarcely has its poor in brightness, though many other stars of first magnitude are superior in size; for instance Areturus, seen at the same hour directly east of the zenith. Cassiopeia, the name of the stellar group in which a brilliant new star christened, on imperfect evidence; "The Star of Bethlehem is soon expected to reappear, may be seen during the evening hours spangling the northern masts close to the horizon. It is not supposed that a modern stellar creation is about to illuminate the group; but that a temporary and periodic outburst of luminosity from a faint orb that sinks to invisibility for centuries will be due in the near future. This group completes the circuit of observation near the horizon. Higher on the starry vault, Capella in the northwest, Gemini, The Twins, midway, Procyon southwest and Regulus near the meridian still glimmer in the western heavens; while in the east the pale gleam of Spica is seen some distance upward from Mars and in striking contrast to its rosate tint. Farm Experiments. Every land-owner seeks for a crop that will give him profit. The larger, the better satisfied is the farmer. The law of demand and supply is bound to regulate the price of all articles grown for use, and if the farmer continues year after year to raise just what his neighbors all do, he cannot expect to get a good price for his crop. The only plan by which he can hope to obtain greater returns than others is to produce a greater quantity per acre, either by more careful cultivation, the application of manure ors better knowledge of what his soil will raise. If, however, the farmer is willing to experiment a little, to test crops not generally known, then he has a chance to make more than ordinary returns. Of course he risks losing labor just as any man risks his money who ventures upon an uncertainty, but he stands a chance to make more than his fellow-farmers. Thus, for illustration, we are paying a large sum each year for licorice grown in Europe. In the farmers of this valley can produce this crop. We pay Europe a handsome sum for rhubarb, yet our lands will produce the best quality of this root. We pay round prices for the oil of peppermint, yet our soil will grow this plant successfully. A hundred other illustrations might be pointed out but they would be needless. What we would emphasize is not to plant just what all others are doing, but risk a little experiment some, plant what others are not planting, and the chances are that you will make more money than they will.
