OPINIONS = OF A PACKER. He Thinks That the Chief Difficulty Lies In Competition Among Producers. FRESXNO, CAr., April'3.~-The news that the duty on Zante currants is abolished created great dismay among raisin-growers here. Jefore the law -was passed prices had fallen until the growers and packers were heartily discouraged. It was found that in’ very many cases the returns from consign- ments weré ‘not sufficient to . pay for the pi¢king and curing such- of the raisins as | come into. competition with the imported currants. The raisins chiefly effected were the seedless Sultanas, Thompson’s seedless and - seedless Muscatels. While none. of these three kinds are in Teality currants, yet. they supplied the same demand, and for a while they were the most profitable grape to raise. After the price dropped there was little encouragement to cultivate the vineyards; but when a. tariff was put on Zante cur- rants - the raisin-growers were greatly elated. - It was-thoughtthatthe law would be worth hundreds of thousands'of dollars to the valley. As the -price of Muscat raisins was still low. many acres of seedless raising were planted. The seedless Muscatels are in reality the small Muscats and are sorfed from the Muscats and sold separately. - They must still, ‘therefore, be grown, even though there is no' profit- in their production. They form a large part of the tofal Muscat crop, and growers express the opinion.that the price will be so low under the present interpretation of the law that. thiey will be worthless for anything but- feed for hogs. Large raisin-producers have said that they will not attempt to dispose of their seedless stock in the Eastern market this year, but will convert it into pork. A different opinion from that -generally expressed was given this afternoon by one of the largest packersin the county. He considered that the real difficulty lay in competition between the grewers. them- selves, and that the market would not be affected so greatly 2s is generally feared. Tulare Presbytery in Session.

An Investigation Proving That East~ ern Holders Are Not Inno- cent Purchasers. BANTA CRUZ, CaL., April 3.—About a year ago Coflin & Stanton of New York came into possession of $360,000 worth of refunding bonds of the city of Santa Cruz under an agreement with the city to sell the bonds and with the proceeds take up $360,000 worth of outstanding bonds, most of which are held in San Francisco. In- stead, however, of carrying out their agree- ment, they converted the bonds to their own use, selling and hypothecating them in the Eastern States for whatever they could get, and very shortly afterward went into insolvency and failed for about $4,000,000. Charles M. Cassin, the present City At~ torney for Santa Cruz, was sent East last December to investigate the transaction, and ascertained that many of the holders of the refunding bonds obtained them under circumstances which left no doubt that they are not innocent holders, and the city has determined to contest the payment of the whole issue, upon the ground that the act of 1893, under which they were issued, is unconstitutional, and also upon several other grounds, and has retained Hon. James G. Maguire of San Francisco and -the firm of Lindsay & Cas- sin of this city as its attorneys. The suits which ‘will follow will be of great importance to the city of Santa Cruz, and no doubt will be stubbornly con- | tested in the courts. Given Time to Pay.

Some weeks .&go a receiver was appéinted for the property and to-day an importint $nit -was filed against the company; in which A. S, White, J."F. Houghton and A: Keith, trustees, ask that all property of the comipany be turned over to them under a trust deed, which covers il the property of the company. The action was brought under certain trust-deeds, which were executed by the company to the trustees in 1885 as security for the payment of the principal and inter- est of the first series of bonds of the com- pany, amounting to $200,000. As a fur- ther cause of -action- the second deed of trust, which was executed in_1888. to se- cure the payment of the second series of bonds, amounting to $150,000, is cited. The second deed covers additional prop- erty not covered by the first trust-deed. Of -the first series bonds $150,000 falls due on July 1 next, and the people who are stockhelders in the company are deeply interested in the outcome of the present litigation. 5 Editor Leake to Get a Place.

A Member of the Seventh Cavalry Goes to Washington on Business. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 3.—Corporal Lanier Cravens of the Seventh Cavalry, Troop A, to-day left for Washington to seek the reversal of an opinion rendered at Fort Sheridan, Ill., against him. The case is doubly interesting because of the pe- culiar point it involves and because of the standing of Cravens. His father, Judge J. E. Cravens, before his death two yearsago, wag one of the oldest and ablest lawyers in the Sounthwest. Young Cravens enlisted at Fort Riley, Kans. He is a graduate of Chester Military Academy in Pennsylvaria and was well known here as a society man.

EEFECT ON' ENGLAND: The Firing by Spaniards May Make a Com- mon Cause. WAITING VERIFICATION. 1f the Report Is True Satisfac- " tion Will Be Demanded at Once by Britain.- SIMILAR T0 THE ALLIANCA. The Claims of Right of Search In Cuban Waters May Be Denied to Spain. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 3.—TIt is stated by officials that the reported firing by a Spanish gunboat on the British ship Ethelred; bound from Boston to ‘Jamaica, if confirmed, will give the United States and Great Britain a commori cause.in de- manding explanations and indemnities from Spain. v Official confirmation of the indignity on the -Ethelred hds not been received here either at the State Department or the Brit- ish embassy. It is said that the usual course would be for the commander of the steamer to report the facts to the London Foreign Office. As he was. bound -for Jamaica he may first report to the Gover- nor-General of that British colony, who in turn would present the case to.the Foreign Office. 3 % Great Britain is quick to take-cognizance of any interference’ with her merchant marine, and it is'not doubted that if the facts are as reported the Foreign Office will speedily ask of Spain first an explanation and second compensation. The circumstances appear to be almost identical with the firing on the Allianca, Itis not yet clear, however, whether the Ethelred was on the high seas or was within six miles of Cape Maysi, which is the judisdictional limits claimed by Spain. In Mr. Gresham’s demand on Spain he took the advanced position that American vessels on their rontes could not be mo- lested even when within the jurisdiction of. Spanish waters. If Great Britain takes a similar position as to her merchant ves- sels on their regular routes to Jamaica it will go far toward the termination of Spain’s claims of theright of search and seizure within Cuban waters. ABOARD THE ALLIANCA. Maceo, the. Insurgent Leader; Was a Pas- ¢ senger on the Steamer. e HAVANA, Cusa, April 3.—Much specu- lation is indulged in here as to the move- ments of Antonio Maceo, the mulatto.in- surgent leader, who Was recently reported as having sailed from a Central American port for the purpose of taking the field in Cuba against the Government. It is the general belief that he took pas- sageon board an American steamer to land at Cape May. It issurmised that lie landed at Fortune Island, whére he wrote to his colleagues notifying them of his fail- ure to land in Cyba. His movements sub- sequent to landing-on Fortune Island can only be guessed at. There are not lacking in Government supporters who eharge that Maceo was on board ‘the American steamer. Allianca when she was fired at by the Conde Ven- dito off the east end of Cuba, and that he would have been landed at Cape Maysi if the warship had not been there to pre- vent it. CHRISTENED AEFEGIR.

Therefore- shalt thou likewise recall tous the gray past of our ancestors and the puissant deity whom our Germanic fore- fathers in their ignorance supplicated and worshiped, -and whose mighty kingdom extended to the icy north pole and as far as the south pole, on whose billows the northern battles were fought out and death carried into the land of the enemy. The potent name of this great deity thou shalt bear. Mayst thou prove worthy thereof. I christen thee Aegir.” : el ety Mexican Railroad Concessions.

Both of these doors were locked when Mr. Ridgely re- turned after lunch. Besides the stamps Mr. Ridgely had stored in the vault were his -daughter’s wedding presents, valued at $1000.

He found the interior of the vault in wild disorder and everything of value removed. This was' the first intimation that the place had been looted. There is no clew. i KILLED TWO BROTHERS.

Re- publican landslide was remarkable. The election gives the Republicans com- plete control of the City Council, which will contain fifty - Republicans and -only eighteen Democrats. Dr.. Holmes, the People’s party candidate for Mayor, re- ¢eived 14,000 votes, less than half as many as polled by the third party last fall. The plan of the campaign of the: Demo- cratic candidate for Mayor, Frank Wenter, was to cut.into the German Republican vote, and on this'theory he. expected to be elected. "An examination .of the returns| shows he did get some German Republican votes, but of .the ‘Irish Democratic votes he lost more than enough to offset the gains among the Germans.
