The prevalent lethargy would seem to be mainly due to the somewhat dublous position of the crops and the belic that the unfavorable weather since April 10 nogatives the rather cheerful showing made by the government crop report of that date Uncertainty about tariff legislation has again become a factor and created hesitation on the part of large speculative interests. Lon- don_ has done practically nothing and ft would now seem that the recent buying from that quarter was mainly the work of pro fessional dealers or jobbers of stocks, who purchased with a view to the probability of selling to the foreign public at an advance within the next few months. An invest- ment demand for bonds and a few high grade stocks still asserts itself, but buying has been practically suspended for the time being. In spite of this the market was gen- rally firm, with a notable absence of any rral attacks on values by professional trad, PACIFIC COAST HOP CROP. of a Large Yield Near Sacramento. MENTO, Cal, April fornia has had an exceedingly mild winter and the prospects for a good hop crop should be very bright, but they are not in the vicnity of Sacramento. The roots were in an unhcalthy state, and many thousands have been ordered for replanting old fields. The stock is decidedly scarce. The cause of the poor roots is ascribed to late cultiva- tion and close trimming. Conservative es- timates place the increased acreage at about 20 per cent. The present dry weather is detrimental to new plantings, and espe- cially those on high ground, but the dry weather has forced the roots, and the ground Is covered with vines at this time, glving assurances of an early crop. The quantity will depend upon the amount of Prospects Except from SACRE 13.—Cali- the same time the yards along the Sacra- mento river will be ‘helped considerably by the present high water. UKIA, Cal, April 13.—While it is con- sidered too early in the season to predict the outcome of the hop crop, the wintering of the plants has been excellent in this lo- cality, and all the signs point to a yield equal to that of last year. The acreage has been increased by at least 5 per cent, and although the yleld is somewhat dependent on the late rains, there is no fear among prominent growers regarding the final out- was real- come, Last year about $200,000 ized by the growers in this vicinity, and with an increased acreage this year there is no fear that this sum will be decreased. Altogether the outlook is an excellent one, and with a few spring showers the yield will be very large. SANTA ROSA, Cal, April 13.—About 400 bales of last season’s hops remain unsold in this county. The yards are reported in good condition, the roots having wintered well. Over 400,000 roots were shipped from here to Sacramento county during the late winter and early spring. As to the prospect of the quality and size of the coming sea- son’s crop, growers are all encouraged. Several have contracted their crops ahead and are using the advances thus obtained in enlarging and putting out new yards. The yards which come into bearing thi year will probably Increase the county's hop revenues $20,000. This calculation " is based on authentic reports that the yleld will exceed that of last season by 500 to 700 bales. HEALDSBURG, April 13.—The season thus far has been a dry one for the hop crop, but the growers of this section claim that they will produce fully as large a yield as last year and many growers belleve they will have a much larger yleld. It is impossiblo at this time to estimate what the probable excess in dollars and cents of this vear's crop over that of last year will be PORTLAND, Ore., April 13.—The pros- pect of a large hop ¢rop in Oregon the comn- ing_season is good. The plants have win- ter well and are now further advanced by probably three weeks than at this time last year. There has been a large Increase in | acreage this seuson, though this increase will not materially affect the 1894 crop. It is estimated that the increase will amount to 20 per cent, or about 3,000 acres. The growing plants are healthy and at this time there is no indication of disease. Last year's crop amounted to 38,000 bales, which was a small yield. If the weather conditions con- tinue favorable to the end of the season the crop should be 50,000 bales, as against 38,- 000 bales in 1893 and 27,500 bales in 1892, Bearing yards are already being twined and under heavy cultivation. For the most part new yards are adopting the short pole and twine. Actual bona fide contracts for the 1894 crop are being made at from 12 to 13 cents. A few contracts for five years have been made at 12% cents. Growers who last year consigned to London are not pleased at the slow and small returns, about 11 cents being the best returns yet reported. TACOMA, Wash., April 13.—Reports from | the hop growing districts of Washington show that the roots are just peeping through the ground They are about two weeks backward. The acreage is largely inere ed over that, of last year. Some growers esti- mate the increase at per cent and the yield for 1894 at about the same proportion. The bulk of the increase is in the Yakima valley, where the completion of irrigation ditches has given a stimulus to the hop business. The vines, as far as can ba de- termined at present, are in good condition and no danger from lice Iy anticipated Washington state in 1893 produced in the | neighborhood of 46,000 bales, and, under fav- | orable conditions, this season’s production will be 60,000 bales.

CLEVELAND STREET SCANDAL EXCEEDED Music Professor Tas Fled from Engl with n Number of Lady Pupils Whom He Had Ruined— All in & League, LONDON, April 13.—~Not since the publi- cation of Editor Stead's “Modern “Babylon,” or the expose of the notorlous Cleveland street scandals has aristocratic soclety re- celved such a shock as attends the develop ment that a well known professor of music, a member of the several prominent clubs who had the entree to the most aristocratic soclety, has found ft necessary to flee the country as a result of a discovery beside which the Cleveland street story is cast in the shade. In his hurried departure he was not alone. The police have discovered that he was accompanied not only by his wife but also by several young ladies who have been the vi tms of his wiles, The story has been carefully covered up, both for the sake of the vietims and their friends and for the sake of Important in vestigation where the affair took place. The young ladies were of good birth, refined, ac complished and of spotless character until they came within the contaminating in- fluences of their teacher. They were pupils and members of the professor's c Every girl In the class became the object of his attentions. As far as can be gathercd ten or a dozen of them yiel to his influence. He gilded his crimi with a religious color. Under the gl of his specious propaganda the pursuit of sin beeame a cult of love and infatuation. His influence was magnetic and caused the pupils to intrigue with each other for their own destruction. The very safeguards of the place were c ployed to help him. It was a rule t the professor while giving lessons to one young lady should have two other pupils present at the same time. This excellent regulation was perverted to the further humiliation and degradation of the girls. Of the three who were left in tha class room two, Instead of playing the part of watehful 'guardians of propriety, would watch outside to prevent the professor and the third pupil from being interrupted. When discovery came the professor fled, and with him certain of his victims, What is still more incredible is that his wife was a consenting party, having, like the unhappy pupils, been persuaded that the old sins were rites of a new religion, of which her husband was the prophet. ANARCHISTS AT AUB Paris Police Find Dy mite Concealed in Sugar Refinery Sewers. PARIS, April 13.—The police today made a startling discovery of Aubervilliers, a village five miles north of this eity, which is noted for its sugar refinerics and other factories. For some time past the authorities have been aware that the anarchists, driven out of Paris, have sought refuge in such places as Aubervilliers, where the large majority of the population is composed of workingmen and others, who, if not in sympathy with the anarchists, are not likely to betray those who advocated or were suspected of holding revolutionary ideas in politi But gradually the authorities closed around a number of suspect anarchists employed in the sugar refineries at Aubervilliers and today the police discovered hidden in a waterway under the road leading from Aubervilliers to Courneuve twelve tin boxes filled with the most dangerous kind of ex- plosives, a case contaiuing twelve pounds of poudre verte, twenty pounds of dynamite cartridge: a quantity of scrap steel and hob nails, and a reversible bomb ready for use. In consequence of this discovery the polict determined to arrest a number of the sus- pected workmen, but the discovery of the store of explosives becoming nolsed about several of the suspected men were enabled to escape. The police have, however, taken into custody a number of suspects. A dangerous conspiracy has evidently been nipped in the bud, RVILLIE| WILLIAM AT VIENNA, nperor of Germar Cupitul of Franz VIENNA, April 13.—Emperor Willlam ar- rived her today and was welcomed at the southern railroad station by Emperor Fran- cls Joseph, ten archdukes, the head of the civil and military departnients, the munici- pal authorities and by the German embs The rallroad station was profusely deco rated for the occasion and was surrounded by troops who kept back the crowds of peoplo who assembled to greet the German emperor.

PARIS, April 13.—A sensation was caused in the Amerlcan colony today by the arrest of two persons connected with the United States bank. For some time past rumors have been In circulation among the Amerl- cans in this city that all was not as it should be at the banking Institution referred to. These reports eventually led to the ar- rest a few weeks ago of Director Mancloir of the United States bank on the charge of lefrauding the depositors of the bank. But fter certain explanations had been fur- nished the charges against Mr. Mancloir were withdrawn, The disquieting rumors continued to be circulated in spite of the withdrawal of the charges against the di- rector, and a further investigation was made by the depositors in the affairs of the United States bank. The result was that today Di- rector Mancloir and a man named Nichol- son, an employe of the bunk, were arrested and formally charged with defrauding the depositors. The charges were made by a number of the depositors, the majority of whom are American residents in this city. The United States bank was only recently established in this city, its offices belug on the premises of the American bank. New Registration Bill Introdu cod.

David" Dudley Field devoted fifty years of his 1ifé to a codification of his country's laws, a feat of which few indeed can hoast. His codes, moreover, were enacted into law. The radical desizn of his system of civil procedure was:to obliterate the distinction between the farms of action and between legal and equitable suits, so that all the rights of the phrties in refation to the sub- jects of litigation could be determined in one action, Ingtead of dividing them be- tween different suits. This system has been adopted ¢in twenty-four states and territories, and is the basls of the legal reform established by the new judicature act in KEngland and of the practice of several of the Finglish colonles, Includinyg India. Bighteeli of the states 'and tories have adopted his code of ¢ procedure. In 1857 Mr. Field was appointed by the state of New York head of a commission to prepare a political code and a civil code, which, with two codes of procedure previ: ously 'made, were designed to supersede the unwritten or common law. They were completed in 185, California and Daka have adopted them in full, but New York, has as yet only adopted 'the penal code. In 1866 he submitted a proposal to the Brit- clation for the Promotion of Social which resulted in the appointment of a committee of jurists of all ions charged with the prevaration of the out- lines of an international code, — Distance made this committec impractical, and Mr. Field did the work himself, and in 1873 pre- sented to the Soclal Sclence congress his “Outlines of an International Code,” which resulted in the formation of an association for the reform and co n of the law cat of nation ving fo pecial object the substifution of arbitration for war in the settlement of disputes between coun- tries.

The registration of voters for this election is now proceeding, but has been very slow, only 547 having t the onth necessary to qualify as electors. Of these (he great majority are whites and Portuguese, the natives being kept from registration by their leaders, who are nearly all royalists These leaders openly acknowledge that they are attempting to keep the natives from the polls, and one political society has even had printed, in a royalist paper, a long an- nouncement to the effect that the natives should have nothing whatever to do with the election, as the provisional government is not a government of the people, and can- not last, and that the vengeance of the queen will be visited upon all disloyal sub- jects when she reascends the throne. The American union party, although in complete control of polities, has met with opposition on the islands of Maul and Hawaii, the largest islands of the group. The annexationist who are all connected with the plantations, have strenuously objected to the part of the platform that excludes Chinese laborers, and have formed party clubs under the old plat- form, providing for Asiatic labor under proper restrictions.
