The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor T HURSDAY... MAY 14, 1903 PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has come to Southern California and gone, and is now receiving the plaudits of the patriotic people of the north. At Los Angeles on Friday he saw a city filled with more than 200,000 people, all of them more than pleased at the honor of entertaining the nation's chief executive. The President was welcomed at Redlands by Gov. Pardee and a distinguished gathering of the State's leading citizens. At every point in California where the train bearing the distinguished visitor was permitted by the itinerary to stop, there gathered hundreds and thousands of our people eager to show to the President the high esteem in which he is held out here on the western borders of our land. From the smallest village to the most pretentious city came the people extending to the President the welcome which was spontaneous and hearty from the Sierras to the sea. President Roosevelt cannot but have profited by his stay in California. He is yet with us, and is making the longest stay of his triumphal journey here in the golden State. Essentially of the West, although a citizen of the East, the President will see and hear much on the coast to further incline his heart to our people. But the greatest honors that they can extend him pale into insignificance when he feels the truism of his words, "We are one people — Americans," here on the Pacific coast as well as on the Atlantic seaboard. The editorial association of Southern California will hold its summer session at Idyllwild, at Strawberry Valley in the San Jacinto mountains. result is that the Watsonville sugar factory cannot be operated this year unless the beets are brought from Salinas valley. J. F. Stout of Hemet, Riverside county, Cal., has filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission a complaint against the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, the Santa Fe Pacific, the Southern California and the Southern Pacific companies, alleging that the freight rates on dried fruits from Southern California to the Missouri River and Eastern points are unreasonable and unjust as compared with the rates on lemons and green apples, and constitute unjust discrimination. How Roosevelt Can be Elected Without New York's Help. Collier's Weekly for April 18th presents a very new and interesting calculation by which the next Republican nominee for president may be elected even if he loses New York State. To anyone at all interested in the possibility of Mr. Roosevelt's chance to become his own successor as president of the United States, there comes at once the thought that there will be a division of the party which, in all probability, will cost him the vote of New York State in the Electoral College. But to offset this is the welcome which the President is receiving throughout the West, and which has spurred the Rooseveltians to make a most unusual calculation, namely, to figure out that with the loss of New York Mr. Roosevelt can still be elected president in a Republican year. It is pointed out that New York has ceased to be the pivotal State, says Collier's Weekly. Two hundred and thirty-nine votes are necessary to elect a president. If Mr. Roosevelt loses New York and Nevada, but carries all the other northern States, he will have two hundred and eighty-three votes. He could lose Illinois and Indiana in addition and still have enough to win. The inside estimate of the States that the Republican managers are sure they will carry with the electoral vote of each State is given in this table: Connecticut—7. Delaware—3. Illinois—27. Indiana—15. Iowa—13. Kansas—10. Maine—6. Massachusetts—16. Michigan—14. RESIGNED FROM OFFICE Rumors That President Marmot Has Given Up Position PANAMA, May 13.—It is here that President Marroquey been compelled to resign off duty count of political trouble, and General Raphael Reyes, Secretary of Colombia, will assist Presidency. Friends of the anxiously awaiting confirm this report. WASHINGTON, May 13.—Formation has been received either by the State Department or the Colombian legation of the red resignation of President Marmot of Colombia on account of troubles. Such a step on the President, however, would suprising, as he is nearly 80 years old and is of a quiet, retiring disposition. The understanding here has along that President Marroquey variable to the ratification of a ma canal treaty; in fact, it was instruction that Dr. Herbert Colombian charge here, negotiate with the State Department determined and persistent to do the treaty which has made itself in many parts of Colombia surmised, probably has influence President in the action he is to have taken. Title of Reyes in Dispense General Rafael Reyes, then Vice-President, who will assuage Presidency in the event of a moment of Marroquinein holds that of "Designado," for the office been selected by the Colombian congress in 1898 for that position title for the designation, he disputed, as the selection form made every two years by the Italian Congress. The last Conduit to make a selection. Genie consequently holds his dawn from the Congress of 1898. Mr. Beaupre, the United States Senator to Colombia, has confirmed the report that a special Colombian Congress called for June 20th. The department knows nothing about government to ratify the covenant on payment to it by the Panama Canal Company of a sum stated at $10,000,000 to $15 million is to receive from the States from the canal project B. Hill, counsel for company, said to-day: Private advices from Colombia that there are three elements to ratification of the Panama Treaty. One element antagonistic giving the United States The editorial association of Southern California will hold its summer session at Idyllwild, at Strawberry Valley in the San Jacinto mountains. Here, in the midst of towering pines, under the shadow of Tauquitz peak, at an altitude of over 5000 feet the California Resort company has established a great health resort, hotel, cottages, etc., with all modern conveniences. On the way to the valley, a side trip will be taken to the great Hemet dam—the one storage water proposition in Southern California that has proved an unqualified success. The drive to the dam and to Idyllwild is over a fine mountain road, commanding extensive and inspiring views, while waterfalls and a wealth of wild flowers add picturesque beauty to the foreground. Before leaving for the mountain trip opportunity will be given to visit Sherman Institute, Riverside's famous Indian school. The itinerary will be as follows: Wednesday, June 3. Arrive in Riverside on any morning train, Santa Fe or Southern Pacific. Lunch at the new Glenwood. After lunch go by street car down Magnolia avenue to Indian school and return by tally-ho to town over Victoria avenue. Leave on Santa Fe at 3:40 for Hemet, spend Wednesday night at Hotel Hemet and hold business session there. Thursday, June 4. Leave at 8 o'clock by stage for the Hemet dam; take picnic lunch there and in the afternoon drive through to Idyllwild. Social session at the hotel in the evening. Friday, June 5.

At Riverside the party will be the guest's of the Chamber of Commerce; at Hemet and the dam, of the Hemet Land Co., and at Idyllwild, of the California Resort association. Vegetables Better Than Medicine. What to Eat: Humbliest vegetables have medicinal qualities, they say. If people understood the medicinal values of foods they would use them more for physical illies, and doctors might have to go to something else for a living. For instance, spinach and dandelion are good for kidney troubles; celery is good for rheumatism, neuralgia, disease of the nerves and nervous dyspepsia; lettuce and cucumbers cool the system and the former is good for insomnia. If you want to perspire freely to relieve the system of impurities, just try asparagus. Tomatoes contain vegetable calomel and are good for liver troubles, and strawberries make a fine complexion. There is nothing medicinally speaking, so useful as the poor and humble unions. They are almost the best survive known, and may be used in coughs, colds and influenza, in consumption, scurvy and kindred diseases. White onions overcome sleepiness, while red ones are excellent diuretic. Eaten every day they soon have a whitening effect on the complexion. Carrots and yellow turnips are good for nervous disorders, gravel and scurvy. Carrots for asthma, watermelon for epilepsy and yellow fever, watercress for scurvy, lemons for feverish thirst in sickness, billiousness, low fevers, rheumatism, coughs, colds and liver complaints. Honey is a fine dish to take and is wholesome, strengthening healing and nourishing. Eggs beaten up raw with sugar are used to clear and strengthen the voice, while with lemon juice and sugar the beaten white of egg may be used to relieve hoarseness. Change Course. NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 13. Officers of the Yale corporation have made the entire four years of the college course elective by allowing freshmen in the future to pick five courses annually out of a set of eight, dropping any three of the eight they wish. The vote makes it possible for the freshman to drop Greek, Latin and mathematics if he wishes. Greek as a required subject for entrance examination was abolished, the change taking effect June 1, 1904. Advanced mathematics and modern languages will be accepted as a substitute for Greek hereafter. The change New York and N.Y.C. loses all the other northern States; he will have two hundred and eighty-three votes. He could lose Illinois and Indiana in addition and still have enough to win. The inside estimate of the States that the Republican managers are sure they will carry with the electoral vote of each State is given in this table: Connecticut—7. Delaware—3. Illinois—27. Indiana—15. Iowa—13. Kansas—10. Maine—6. Massachusetts—16. Michigan—14. Minnesota—11. Nebraska—8. New Jersey—12. New Hampshire—4. North Dakota—4. Ohio—23. Pennsylvania—34. South Dakota—4. Vermont—4.

Director Walcott of the Geological Survey has returned to Washington from the West after spending six weeks in Arizona and Southern California, where he has carefully looked into the work on irrigation projects now under consideration. The work at present consists of a preliminary survey. No construction will be begun on any of the five great irrigation projects until next fall, and on some of them not for a year or more. "The work," said Director Walcott, "is progressing rapidly, and everything is being done that could be expected. People in the West are enthusiastic over the possibilities of irrigation. From the present outlook, there will be a big increase in the number of settlers where irrigation is put in." Director Walcott today began to draw up definite plans for the coming year. These he will submit to Secretary Hitchcock before June 1. As the owners of the sugar factory at Watsonville and Salinas refused to pay the prices for beets asked by the farmers, the result is that no beets are grown this year in the Pajaro and San Juan valleys. The total acreage hitherto devoted to beet raising was about 9000 acres. The farmers have planted their lands to hay, oats, wheat, etc. The Change Course. NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 13.—Officers of the Yale corporation have made the entire four years of the college course elective by allowing freshmen in the future to pick five courses annually out of a set of eight, dropping any three of the eight they wish. The vote makes it possible for freshman to drop Greek, Latin and mathematics if he wishes. Greek as a required subject for entrance examination was abolished, the change taking effect June 1, 1904. Advanced mathematics and modern languages will be accepted as a substitute for Greek hereafter. The change will make a large difference in the preparatory schools of the country. Yale professors will be retired at the age of 68 years, except when especially requested by the corporation to continue active service. This rule will take effect three years from date and will apply to all officers of the university who hold permanent appointments. Glifford Pinchot, national former president, was appointed professor in the Yale forestry school. Prof. William Brewer, head of the Yale department of agriculture, has resigned and was elected professor emeritus. Cures When Doctors Fall. Mrs. Frank Chlasson, Patterson, La., writes June 8th, 1901: "I had malaria fever in very bad form, was under treatment by doctors, but as soon as I stopped taking their medicine the fever would return. I used a sample bottle of Herbine, found it helped me. Then bought two which completely cured me. I feel grateful to you for furnishing such a splendid medicine, and can honestly recommend it to those suffering from malaria, as it will surely cure them." Herblue, 50c bottle at J. P. Hatzfeld's. Will Make Formal Charge. WASHINGTON, May 12.—S. W. Tulloch, ex-cashier of the city Post-office, has informed the Postmaster-General that he will on Friday file a formal charge on line of that which he has publicly made, reflecting upon the official conduct of persons still holding office.

RESIGNED FROM OFFICE. Humors That President Marroquin Has Given Up Position. PANAMA, May 13.—It is reported here that President Marroquin has been compelled to resign office on account of political trouble, and that General Raphael Reyes, Second Vice-President of Colombia, will assume the presidency. Friends of the canal are anxiously awaiting confirmation of this report. WASHINGTON, May 13.—No confirmation has been received here either by the State Department or by the Colombian legation of the reported resignation of President Marroquin of Colombia on account of political troubles. Such a step on the part of the President, however, would not be surprising, as he is nearly 80 years old, and is of a quiet, retiring disposition. The understanding here has been all along that President Marroquin is favorable to the ratification of the Panama canal treaty; in fact, it was under his instruction that Dr. Herrera, Colombian charge here, negotiated the treaty with the State Department. The determined and persistent opposition to the treaty which has manifested itself in many parts of Colombia, it is surmised, probably has influenced the President in the action he is reported to have taken. Title of Reyes in Dispute. General Rafael Reyes, the Second Vice-President, who will assume the Presidency in the event of the retirement of Marroquin, holds the position of "Designado," for the office, having been selected by the Colombian Congress in 1898 for that position. His title for the designation, however, is disputed, as the selection is usually made every two years by the Colombian Congress. The last Congress failed to make a selection. General Reyes consequently holds his designation from the Congress of 1898. Mr. Beaupure, the United States Minister to Colombia, has confirmed byable the report that a special session of the Colombian Congress had been called for June 20th. The State Department knows nothing officially of the reported offer of the Colombian government to ratify the canal treaty on the payment to it by the Panama Canal Company of a sum variously stated at $10,000,000 to $12,000,000. Concerning the report from Panama that the Panama Canal Company had offered to the Colombian government $12,000,000 of the $40,000,000 the company is to receive from the United States from the canal property, Edward B. Hill, counsel for the canal company, said to-day: Private advices from Colombia state that there are three elements opposed to ratification of the Panama canal treaty. One element antagonizes the feature giving the United States per- MONTHLY TRADE REVIEW. K. G. Dun & Co.'s Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for April in Southern California Trade conditions for Southern California changed little during the month. Crops are in the finest shape for years. Grain is above average in quality and outlook for large crop better than for years. Bean planting has begun. Sugar beets are making good growth. Cool weather is retarding development of deciduous fruits. The crop will not be as heavy as last year, as this is off year in yield. Besides apricots are reported dropping badly in some places caused by inopportune rains. Grape vines are showing good deal of fruit. The season has not proven satisfactory one to the citrus fruit growers. Marketing has been uncertain prices fluctuating wildly. From now in good movement and steady conditions are expected to prevail. Bean market is in good shape with a fair shipping demand. Exception has been taken by a prominent Ventura bean grower to placing bean acreage the coming season at 70,000 acres. This estimate credits Ventura with 43,500 acres, which is an increase over last year's planting of about 10,000 acres. Dried fruit market is firmer in most lines, but has made no material price advance. The prospects of state crop of apricots and peaches being shortened has caused some movement. Outlook for oil industry continues to improve. There is now no surplus and increase in consumption is developing rapidly. Even most conservative operators are preparing for active field work. Locally business for the month was unusually active, both retail and wholesome. In many lines jobbers report heaviest trade movement ever recorded for April. Real estate continues active. Values firmly held. The number of building permits issued continuing so large indicates that speculation is not largely in evidence in these transactions. A gratifying showing is made by Los Angeles banks in statement to controller of currency. In six months ending April 6th, there was an increase of lawful reserves $1,186,881, and of individual deposits $7,063,604. Failures for month, 11; liabilities $45,000; assets, $25,000. Same months last year, 4 failures; liabilities $5,000; DWARF ORDERED DEPORTED. Immigration Authorities Separate a Family at Port of New York. NEW YORK, May 12.—Joseph Bernstein, 7 years of age, who, with his mother, brother and sister, arrived recently in this country from Prussia, has been ordered deported, the immigration authorities having decided him to be ineligible for admission to the country because of his diminutive size. The boy weighs only fifteen pounds, and is said to be healthy, physically and mentally, but because of his lack of growth is classed with the cripples. Young Bernstein's father is employed in a glass factory at Toledo, O., and has taken out his first citizenship papers. Mrs. Bernstein and the children were on their way to join him. The mother will return to her former home in Prussia, but the brother and sister of the deported boy will go to their father. Smuggling is Increasing. NEW YORK, May 12.—William H. Theobald, former special agent of the Treasury Department, makes the statement that more smuggling is going on now than there has been at any previous time in the history of the United States government. Of his own personal knowledge, he said, he knew of four pearl necklaces, not one of which was worth less than $30,000 having been brought into the port of New York without paying a cent of duty. Further than this, he said that he knew of at least four firms in Maiden Lane that are engaged in the unlawful traffic and that he can place his hands upon them at a moment's notice. Ludwig Nissenen, who has chosen to go abroad to bring about a more thorough understanding between the foreign agents of the Treasury Department and the dealers there, says: "Smuggling among merchants is less than it has ever been before. I don't believe there are any large or responsible houses that countenance it. But the smuggling among travelers has been on-the-increase. Rich Americans go to Europe every summer and the number of those who try to bring back diamonds and other jewels without paying duty is large and increasing." Headed for Coast. PORTLAND, Ore., May 13.—Recent additions to the list of vessels en route to Portland have brought the cargo fleet up to thirty-one vessels, the largest amount of cargo tonnage ever headed for Portland. With such a large increase in the amount of cargo tonnage there has been a corresponding decrease in the number of ballast ships headed in this direction. This gives exporters a decided advantage in securing cheap freights. Puget Sound ports show a similar increase in the amount of cargo The department knows nothing officially of the reported offer of the Colombian government to ratify the canal treaty on the payment to it by the Panama Canal Company of a sum variously stated at $10,000,000 to $12,000,000. Concerning the report from Panama that the Panama Canal Company had offered to the Colombian government $12,000,000 of the $40,000,000 the company is to receive from the United States from the canal property, Edward B. Hill, counsel for the canal company, said to-day: Private advices from Colombia state that there are three elements opposed to ratification of the Panama canal treaty. One element antagonizes the feature giving the United States personal control, another urges that the indemnity and annuity are not sufficient, and the third element consists of revolutionary spirits who fear that with the Colombian treasury enriched by $10,000,000 the government's strength will be so increased as to destroy all hopes of success from any revolutionary movement. Dr. Herrera, the Colombian charge Daffaires here, is without official information regarding the attitude of the members-elect to the Congress. When the Colombian Congress is convened June 20th there will be just one month for consideration of the treaty and such other matters as may be called before it by the President as the regular session meets July 20th. If the President sends the treaty to Congress first under Colombia's rules of procedure no other subject can be considered until this is disposed of. TWO THOUSAND ARE HOMELESSS AT OTTAWA OTTAWA, May 12. — About 250 houses destroyed, probably 2000 people homeless and a financial loss of nearly $500,000, is the result of the conflagration which yesterday devastated the area between the Ottawa and Parry Sound Railroad tracks on the east and the tracks of the Canadian Pacific Prescott line and Third avenue on the west. The money loss is about one-half covered by insurance. While it was generally believed last night that an incendiary had started fire, doubts were thrown upon this theory to-day. It is said that the blaze was seen in the grass before it seized the lumber. The buildings destroyed were dwelling houses and stores. No lives are known to have been lost. While the buildings were all pretty well insured, some of the tenants had nothing on their furniture. A good many of these, however, succeeded in saving their effects. Through an accident to the water supply, it was nearly an hour after the fire was discovered before water was thrown on the flames, and in that time they made great headway. The military was called out to aid the civil power in combatting the fire. Plague in Peru. LIMA, May 13. — There have been no suspicious cases of sickness in the last forty-eight hours. The government has opened the ports of Anclon and Callao. The situation at Pisco is not alarming. PANAMA, May 13. — By a decision of the board of health the steamship Palex, which is coming from Collao, Peru, will not be allowed to enter the city. The gunboat Chucailo has been ordered to prevent any communication with the Palex, which will be ten miles from the city. The government has received cable advises from Lima informing it that the Palex has on board flour from the mills where the tubonic plague was first discovered. Panama undoubtedly will be closed to southern heaviest trade movement ever recorded for April. Real estate continues active. Values firmly held. The number of building permits issued continuing so large indicates that speculation is not largely in evidence in these transactions. A gratifying showing is made by Los Angeles banks in statement to controller of currency. In six months ending April 6th, there was an increase of lawful reserves $1,186,881, and of individual deposits $7,063,604. Failures for month, 11; liabilities, $45,000; assets, $25,000. Same months last year, 4 failures; liabilities, $5,000; assets, $1,500. MIDDLE BASS, Ohio, May 12. — Cleveland may be said to be a receptive candidate for the Democratic nomination in 1904. These questions were put to Cleveland to-day by a Cleveland press correspondent: "Shall you be a candidate for nomination?" "I cannot answer that question." "If the nomination is tendered you would accept it?" "I cannot answer that question at I cannot answer that question at this time, either. It will be only to invite the censure of the people." Chas. Foster, ex-Governor of Ohio and ex-Secretary of the United States Treasury under Harrison, is here with Cleveland's party, and when asked if he thought Cleveland was a candidate said: "Although I am not authorized to speak, I know that he does not want the nomination, but would take it as duty to his party. He possesses the confidence of the people and deserves the nomination." Not an Informer. NEW YORK, May 13. — Collector Stranahan's reply to the recent statements of former Special Agent Theobald, in which latter declares that mugging is going on with increased activity, and that he knows of four diamond necklaces worth at least $30,000 apiece recently brought into his country without payment of duty, to the effect that the former special agent has remarkable opportunity to make $60,000, half the value of the necklaces, if he will lay before the authorities information on which sleeps can be made. Replying to Collector Stranahan, Mr. Theobald said: "Not for $60,000 am I an informer." Weekly Crop Bulletin. LOS ANGELES, May 13—Unusually cloudy weather with fog during the week, except in some of the interior places, and as a result of the protracted cold, damp, cloudy weather hay and grain are getting rank and maturing slowly. Haying is in progress, but warm, sunshine weather is needed for haying and the proper maturing of field crops. Fine honey making weather prevailed; there is an abundance of wild flowers and beemen are pleased with the prospect of a good honey season. Apple, cherry and olive trees are blooming heavily; orange trees are in fine condition; they are loaded with healthy bloom and have started a vigorous growth. Going to Mexico. NEW YORK, May 13—Gen. Benjamin Viljoen, former assistant commander of the Burgher forces in Boer war, and member for Johannesburg in the Transvaal volksraad, and Gen. W. D.

For Those Who Live on Farms Dr. Bergin, Pana, Ill., writes: I have used Ballard's Snow Liniment; always recommend it to my friends, as I am confident there is no better made. It is a dandy for burns." Those who live on farms are especially liable to many accidental cuts, burns and bruises, which heal rapidly when Ballard's Snow Liniment is applied.

Hostess and Guests Frequently Retire to the Kitchen to Cook and Eat. "At one of the grand balls I attended at Krasnoyarsk," writes Thomas G. Allen Jr., of "Fashionable Siberia," in The Ladies' Home Journal, "I was impressed by the profusion of flowers used in the decoration of the ballroom, and which had been imported from Europe at enormous expense, and also by the importance given to the matter of refreshments. Although there appeared to be about four girls to one man, the male portion of the company spent the greater part of the evening at the buffet, or nokoski table, eating and drinking. The conversation of the women I found, was most conventional, and one could invariably anticipate the same remarks upon an introduction to a lady Enwledge of French, which I was surprised to find few could speak, is considered the most graceful feminine accomplishment. "The kitchen, however, has for the lady of the land a peculiar fascination. Very often while dressed in silks and matine and conversing with her guests a hostess will proceed to try a 'blim,' or pancake and eat it with the greatest gusto. The other ladies are at liberty to follow the hostess' example if they choose." An Undesirable Dog. "What do you think of the dog?" asked the owner. The dog fancier merely glanced at him and then shook his head. "He might do pretty well in the country somewhere or pretty far out in the suburbs," he said, "but he isn't homely enough to ever bring much of a price among the dog owners of the fashionable world."—Chicago Post.
