According to the statement of a New York firm of fruit dealers, the imports of foreign oranges and lemons at that port must materially affect the market for California fruits: For the thirty days ending June 25th the available supply of foreign citrus fruits included 125,000 boxes of oranges and 281,500 boxes of lemons, against 60,000 boxes oranges and 209,000 boxes lemons at the same date 1892; 68,500 boxes oranges and 205,000 boxes lemons 1891, and 72,000 boxes oranges and 268,000 boxes lemons for a similar period in 1890. This indicates a large increase in importations as compared with those of the previous year. Yet the importations show that there is still a great home market for oranges and lemons in Southern California. They indicate, too, the need of retaining the present 199,908. As the total number of certificates issued during the fiscal year just closed was but 121,628, it would seem that 101,300 less certificates had been issued for the fiscal year of 1893 than for the fiscal year of 1892 and, as the loss to the rolls during the past fiscal year is but 91,628, as against 199,908, or a difference of 108,280 less than the increase for the fiscal year of 1892. This statement is made as a refutation of the statement that not a single pension certificate has been issued under the dependent pension law since the present administration came into power. There have been 2,560 pensioners suspended up to date under Secretary Hoke Smith's recent ruling. The suspensions are not confined to any particular locality, but are well distributed throughout the country. No pensioner has yet been dropped under the decision for the reason that the sixty days allowed pensioners in which to make proof of disability have not elapsed. The Mid-Winter Fair. The Los Angeles Times says there is a good prospect of an extra session of the Legislature being called within the next thirty days. Ever since the California Mid-winter Fair has been the subject of discussion a number of public-spirited citizens of Los Angeles have been conferring as to the advisability of that county taking a leading part in the enterprise. Since it has become patent that the proposed exposition is in a fair way of becoming an assured fact, the meetings and conferences have become more numerous, and culminated last week in the following resolution being passed by the Supervisors: Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county consider the efforts of the citizens of San Francisco to hold in that city a Mid-winter Fair a most laudable and conserving project, and one which, if carried out, will result in great benefit to the entire For the thirty days ending June 25th the available supply of foreign citrus fruits included 125,000 boxes of oranges and 281,500 boxes of lemons, against 60,000 boxes oranges and 299,000 boxes lemons at the same date 1892; 68,500 boxes oranges and 205,000 boxes lemons 1891, and 72,000 boxes oranges and 268,000 boxes lemons for a similar period in 1890. This indicates a large increase in importations as compared with those of the previous year. Yet the importations show that there is still a great home market for oranges and lemons in Southern California. They indicate, too, the need of retaining the present tariff on fruits in order that our citrus industries may have proper protection and encouragement. The existing rates of duty operate to check importation, and were they abolished the foreign fruit importations would be largely increased. This would operate very materially to the disadvantage of our growers of oranges and lemons, as freight from Mediterranean ports to New York by steamship is much less than by rail from this section to the same destination. Until the Nicaragua canal shall be constructed, all our fruits that go to the Atlantic seaboard must be carried by rail, at relatively high cost. See the World's Fair for Fifteen Cents.

After his retirement George Washington became a successful farmer. He made his plantations at Mount Vernon models of their kind. It is not generally known that the first President was a remarkably good business man. John Adams was the only President who ever saw his son fill the place that he had held. After he left office he amused himself by writing and talking over past glories with his friends. Thomas Jefferson died on the same day that John Adams did, July 4, 1826. After retirement he entered upon the life of country gentleman, and died heavily in debt. He was a poor business man, and was sanguine to a degree in money matters. James Madison was frugal in money matters, and after he left Washington he had an independent fortune. He was devoted to his books, and his library was the room of his house. Trouble darkened the last years of the life of James Monroe through the loss of money. He also died on July 4, in the home of his daughter, in New York City, and was buried in the Second avenue Cemetery in 1831. John Quincy Adams retired from the Presidency in 1829. From 1833 to 1848 he was a member of Congress, and died while addressing the Speaker of that body. Andrew Jackson was a farmer after being President. His last years were happy, and his slaves idolized him. He died in 1848. Martin Van Buren grew old gracefully at Kinderhook, N. Y., where he lived after leaving Washington. After a long foreign trip, he retired to his estate and enjoyed his amule fortune with honor to his wife and children have been conferring as to the advisability of that county taking a leading part in the enterprise. Since it has become patent that the proposed exposition is in a fair way of becoming an assured fact, the meetings and conferences have become more numerous, and culminated last week in the following resolution being passed by the Supervors: "Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county consider the efforts of the citizens of San Francisco to hold in that city a Mid-winter Fair a most laudable and conserving project, and one which, if carried out, will result in great benefit to the entire people of the State and Coast, and one which should receive the immediate financial and other encouragement of the people of Southern California. That for the purpose of inaugurating a movement for that purpose, we hereby appoint and call upon T. D. Stimson, E. P. Johnson, Charles Silent, A. E. Pomeroy and L. A. Sheldon to act as an organizing committee, who, together, shall perfect an organization and undertake the devising of ways and means to assist San Francisco in her endeavors, and to see that Los Angeles county and Southern California are properly represented. "It is further resolved that the clerk of this board be, and he is hereby directed to immediately send copies of this resolution to the boards of supervisors of the counties of San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo and request their co-operation." It is proposed to call on the Boards of Supervisors of these counties and request the appointment of a similar organizing committee in each county. These several committees will then have a joint meeting, although the plan is to get each organizing committee to take charge of affairs in its own county. But the principal action is to be taken by this meeting of committees from the various counties is to petition Governor Markham to call an extra session of the Legislature to take the matter in hand and make it a State affair. Coming as this petition would from the southern part of the State, it is not thought the Governor would refuse. There is a political side to the question, however, which will have to be discussed before the Governor takes any action. In all probability Governor Markham will appoint a United States Senator between now and August I. Should the Legislature meet after that date it would have the power to elect a Senator, who would according to precedent, supersede the Governor's appointee. Although an extra session would only act on the matter for which it is called, it could, by concurrent resolution, declare that a Senatorial vacancy existed, and that so-and-so be appointed to fill the unexpired term. In the present political condition of the Legislature, however, it is not likely that the fiasco of Governor Stoehneman's administration will be repeated. It will be remembered that the late Senator Hearst was appointed by Governor Stoehneman to fill an unexpired term, shortly after which Governor Stoehneman called an extra session of the Legislature to act on irrigation matters. After convening that body, having a Republican majority, by resolution declared A. P. Williams the United States Senator, and Mr. Hearst had to wait until a Democratic Legislature was elected before he could go to Washington as Senator. Prince George's Sacramento.

A statement has been prepared at the Pension Bureau showing that between April 1 last, when the present administration took formal direction of its affairs, and July 1, there were 17,044 original pension certificates of all kinds issued. Of these 5,355 were invalid certificates under the act of June 27, 1890, and 9,043 were widows' certificates under the said act, making a total of 11,397 original certificates issued for the first three months of Democratic power. It is also shown that there were issued 2,-369 additional pensions under the act of June 27, 1890, making a grand total of 13,966 certificates issued under that act during the first three months of Democratic control of the Pension Bureau. The total number of original certificates of all kinds issued during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1893, was 121,628, of which 99,207 were under the act of June 27, 1890, and 244 were issued to army nurses. There were also issued during the past fiscal year 33,693 certificates granting additional pensions under the act of June 27, 1890. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892, there were issued 222,297 original certificates, and a net increase to the rolls of Prince George's Sacrifice. Nothing has been said in London, that is since the announcement of the betrothal of Prince George and Princess May, about the painfully suppressed romance underlying this latest and most pompous of royal weddings. Probably the London papers of that date observed a discreet silence about Mrs. Fitzherbert when George the Fourth wedded the ill-omened Caroline. But it is hardly without significance that the Daily News printed a long account of this bygone marriage scandal, or that one of the papers contained an obscure reference to a nameless beautiful lady at the state performance of the opera on the previous evening. Vague reports of a story reached London month ago, and were kept within narrow circles fos a time. It first began to spread because a rich tradesman received a hunt from a friend who was in the secret to insure his venture in wedding presents, etc., against a possible failure of the marriage. The reports became suddenly so definite that long-old wagers are said to have been laid Lloyd's against the marriage taking place. Of course it is well-nigh impossible to get a tangible corroboration of a tale of this character when so many powerful ones of the earth are vitally concerned in shutting it up. Enough solidity exists to the various phases of the story; however, to make it clear that it will have a definite place in those chroniques scandaleuses which constitutes the shaded side of British dynastic history. The most authentic version which comes to a London correspondent writing of the affair, and rests upon the authority of one who has gathered the facts at first hand in Malta, upon his word of honor not to divulge the family name involved, is that between four and five years ago George was married by the Roman Catholic ritual to a daughter of a British naval officer of high rank, and that there are two children by the marriage. Of course the contracting parties knew that by the royal marriage act this was no marriage at all; but the theory is that George, who was then not in direct line to the throne, counted on his elder brother's marriage and having heirs, when the irregular connection would be accorded a quasi sanction such as was given the Duke of Cambridge and other collateral English Princes. By the light of this occurrence it may be seen how infinitely more tragic was July 20, 1893. NUMBER 37 the total number of certificates the fiscal year just closed was would them that 101,309 less been issued for the fiscal an to the fiscal year of 1892; to the rolls during the past death, remarriage, etc., will least 30,000, it will be seen increase to the rolls during the since but 91,628, as against 199. of 108,280 less than the fiscal year of 1892. it is made as a refutation of what not a single pension cer- issued under the dependent on the present administration been 2,560 pensioners sus- date under Secretary Hoke ruling. The suspensions are any particular locality, but acted throughout the country, as yet been dropped under the reason that the sixty pensioners in which to make have not elapsed. Mid-Winter Fair. Angeles Times says there is an extra session of the Leg- lled within the next thirty days the California Mid-winter subject of discussion a spirited citizens of Los An- conferring as to the advice taking a leading part in Since it has become patent exposition is in a fair way assured fact, the meetings have become more numer- ted last week in the following passed by the Super- at the Board of Supervisors county consider the efforts of n Francisco to hold in that Fair a most laudable and one which, if carried great benefit to the entire death of the elder brother, Clarence, than at the time appeared. It helps now to comprehend all the strange, obscure vacillations and cross-currents which marked the conduct of the royal family during the succeeding year, with the protracted break- ing up of the Marlborough house menage and the long, ameless journeying abroad of George and his mother, the Princess of Wales. The Irrigation Congress. The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce has received the following letter from Secretary of State Gresham in reference to the Irrigation Congress to meet in town October 10th to 15th. The Government recommends the sending of delegates from foreign countries where irrigation is practiced, and urges the transmissiippus States to send representatives, and to exert themselves to make the undertaking a success. The Department of the Interior will be represented at the meeting by an officer detailed for that purpose: "DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON, July 7, 1893. To the Diplomatic Officers of the United States-GENTLEMAN: At the fourth annual session of the Transmississippi Congress, which met at Ogden, Territory of Utah, April 24, 1893, at which all the States of the United States and Territories west of the Mississippi river verb represented by regularly-appointed delegates, the following resolution, addressed to the President of the United States, was unanimously passed on April 26th: "WHEREAS, The greater part of the transmississippi section represented in this congress is actively interested in the irrigation industry, and in a large measure dependent upon irrigation for the development of its agricultural resources; and, WHEREAS Au International Irrigation Congress is to meet at Los Angeles, Cal., October 10, 1893, at which leading irrigationists of the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia will be present, and where a NEWS IN BRIEF. Frank Wiggins, the Superintendent of the Southern California display at the World's Fair, reports that large crowds who visit the California building are especially anxious for some small souvenir to take home with them. After inviting suggestions the Southern California World's Fair Association has arranged to supply large quantities of pebbles from Catalina island, which will be stamped with a suitable inscription. It is suggested that other sections of California select suit- able inexpensive souvenirs. Advices from Washington state that the United States man-of-war Mohican was fired upon and disabled in Boring sea July 25th, by the Hawaiian steamer Alexandria, which sailed from San Francisco last April. The Mohican discovered the Alexandria in the act of raiding the seal rookeries, and tried to interrupt her by firing two shots across her bow. The Alexandria returned the fire, striking the Mohican amidships, disabling her engines. The Mohican went to Ounalaska for repairs, and the Alexandria escaped. Comter Emilberther, a Frenchman, was caught in the act of burglarizing the Hotel de Europe, in San Diego one night last week, and was placed under arrest. The daughter of the landlord learned of the intended burglary, and secreted herself under the counter of the hotel office, two strong employees of the house being within calling distance. When Emilberther broke in she waited till he was at the money drawer and gave the alarm when the men rushed in and secured the prisoner. Twice previously the hotel had been burglarized, and the girl wanted to make sure of stopping the depredations. It is learned from high Russian sources that the Russian Government has decided to maintain a permanent fleet of warships in United States waters, and the port of New York will be made Russia's western naval center. It is announced that the representatives of the Russian Government have made overtures to the Erie dry-docks to undertake the care and overhaul of all at the Board of Supervisors county consider the efforts of Francisco to hold in that Fair a most laudable and one which, if carried great benefit to the entire state and Coast, and one which immediate financial and amount of people South That for the purpose of investment for that purpose, we call and upon T.

Sacramento, men said in London, that is moment of the betrothal of Princess May, about the romance underlie The greater part of the transmissippi section represented in this congress is actively interested in the irrigation industry, and in a large measure dependent upon irrigation for the development of its agricultural resources; and, Whereas Au International Irrigation Congress is to meet at Los Angeles, Cal., October 10, 1833, at which leading irrigationists of the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia will be present, and where a number of important questions relating to irrigation law, irrigation securities, and irrigation methods will receive discussion and action; therefore, be it Resolved, That this congress of the transmissippi States herby requests the President of the United States to issue an invitation to foreign governments of countries where irrigation is practiced, asking them to send delegates to the international congress at Los Angeles; and, be it furthermore Resolved, That the transmissippi States be urged to send representatives to the congress, and that their respective governments be requested to exert themselves to make the undertaking the success which the digity and importance of the subject to be considered merits. The subject of irrigation is one that is rapidly assuming vast proportions in the United States, particularly so far as concerns our large extent of arid lands, and the success which has attended its practice therein has naturally caused its spread throughout the rainy regions of our territory as well. The congress which it is proposed to convoke at Los Angeles will probably be attended by a thousand delegates, coming from all the States of this Union where irrigation is practiced, and from foreign countries more or less directly interested in the subject. It promises, moreover, to be an important convention of persons actively interested in the development of the western half of the United States by means of irrigation. The matters to be discussed are of immediate practical interest to the nation and to the officers of the Government having to do with the public lands, and with scientific researches pertaining to the soils and waters of the arid regions. Hence the exchange of ideas of writers on irrigation and others having practical experience with irrigation problems cannot but prove highly beneficial to this most important interest, not only to our country, but to all others where irrigation is practiced, even to a limited extent. The interest evinced by the Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles, Cal., in behalf of the International Irrigation Congress, and by the Chairman of the Committee on Irrigation and Reclamation of Arid Lands, of the United States Senate, speaking for the people all that part of the United States which depends upon irrigation to a greater or less extent, leads the Department to hope for favorable responses from abroad, in order to obtain the fullest possible expressions of opinion on the subject. The Department of the Interior will be represented at the proposed meeting by an officer to be detailed by the Secretary of that Department, for the purpose of giving such information as may be desired concerning the results obtained by the surveys which have been carried on for several years under the auspices of the General Government. You are accordingly instructed informally notify the government to which you are accredited of this meeting of the Inter- It is learned from high Russian sources that the Russian Government has decided to maintain a permanent fleet of warships in United States waters, and the port of New York will be made Russia's western naval center. It is announced that the representatives of the Russian Government have made overtures to the Erie dry-docks to undertake the care and overhauling of all warships maintained by Russia in American waters. The opinion is ventured in naval circles in view of a likelihood of the Bering sea case going against Great Britain and late announcement of England reinforcing their naval force at Esqualt, the proposed action of Russia is of great importance to the United States. A number of representative fruit men from various parts of the State met in convention in San Francisco last week. The chief topic discussed was the tariff and its effects on California products. The discussions were generally participated in, and it seemed to be the pretty general opinion of the assembly that if the tariff were removed from prunes and other fruits, permanent damage to the California industry would ensue. It was decided to send a representative to Washington to assist California delegation in placing the matter properly before Congress, and Gen. N. P. Chipman of Red Bluff was named for the mission, with F. A. Kimball of National City as alternate. The third annual session of the California Olive Growers' Association was held in San Francisco last Friday. President Ellwood Cooper made a short address, in which he reviewed the progress of the association since its last meeting. He also referred to the pure olive oil Act passed by the last Legislature, and said that if it is strictly enforced the public would be certain to obtain an absolutely pure article. J. L. Howland of Pomona read a paper on "Percentage Of Oil To Be Obtained From Different Varieties." A paper on "Why Americans Should Cultivate a Taste for, and More Habitual Use Of Pure Olive Oil as a Food," was read by F. A. Kimball. The discussion then became general, and everything relating to the olive and its growth was brought up. The old Board of Directors, consisting Ellwood Cooper, John Bidwell, F. A. Kimball, K Goodrich and J. C. Gray were reelected, and the convention adjourned for one year. Suit has been begun in the United States Court to collect bonds to the amount of $250 issued by Manitou county. Mich., six years ago and still unpaid. The county is made up of a dozen or more districts in the northern part of Lake Michigan and is very sparsely settled.
