A special dispatch to Past Grand Presi- dent William Saalburg of the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith, received yesterday, gives some account of the doings of the Constitutional Grand Lodge, which is meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The dispatch is as follows: CINCINNATI, Ou0, May 3.—The Constitu- tional Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith has opened its session here with ninety-two delegates present. All of the delegates are enthusiastic about the order, and important business is expected 10 be trans- acted. Nothing that the hand of hospitality can be- stow was leit undone. For weeks the general committees, consisting of members from the ous Cincinnati lodges, have been working susly to meke this occasion in every re- t worthy of the event and Cincinnati.

The president, Julius Bien, in his message said Eor more than a t}unrter of a century have I stood at the post of honor at the helm of our great fraternal organization. Again and again have you signified your approval of my administrationof the affairs of the order in no uncertain voice.

The executive committee was directed to make provisions for extending the order to England, the West Indiesand Central America, and the expenditure for this purpose is not to exceed $1000. e T LABOR COUNCIL. Varlous Unions Report and Reasons Given—Why Home Manufactured Cigars Are Not Sold. At the meeting of the Labor Council last night the sailors’ union reported that it is in a flourishing condition. The wages de- manded by the union is $35a month. It is hoped that in the near future all diffi- culties will be adjusted. The theatrical employes’ delegate stated that though busi- ness 1s dull the union is on a solid basis, and increasing numerically. . It was reported that the A. R. U. is grow- ing in strength, financiaily as well as in numbers. Many of the men are getting work—some at railroading, while others are obtaining itin other fields. . The cigar-makers will hold a mass-meet- ing next Monday evening. The delegate from this union said that the statistics in the tobacco trade showed an increase of the output of cigars from the First Califor- nia District of $1,560,017 for the month of April. This, he thought, was the result of the efforts of the union to push home manufactured goods, President McGlynn informed the dele- gates that the reason, in his opinion, that clgars manufactured in San Francisco are not sold is because they are not advertised as Eastern cigars are, as the fact isthat very few smokers are acquainted with any of the brands manufactured here. Delegate Burns of the Cigar-makers’ Union said that one firm in this City, which sold enough cigars to employ 150 men if the cigars were ma-e here, employed but eight men at any time. e The Worthington Trial. Outof sixty-three men examined to sit as jurors in the Louise Worthington trial yester- day, only three men passed, making eight s curéd so far out of & total of 137 talesmen e: amined. ———— The Dinner Bell Sounds but a mocKkery to the dyspeptic.

FOR MINERALS AND FOSSILS. They Secured a Valuable Collection for the Stanford Museum. Two students at Stanford University, R. M. Maynard, a graduate of ’94, and J. H. Wilson, who is taking a special course in civil engineering, have explored parts of Death Valley and returned laden with specimens of quartz and other rock forma- tions of that desolate region. They had a verilous time, and their hairbreadth escapes will often be retold in college his- tory over their collection, which is to be added to the geological laboratory of the university. The explorers were gone from February 15 to about April 27. They went from one end of Death Valley to the other, losing only two of their burros during the trip. They were in a dangerous position on sev- eral occasions, but always managed to pull through after some hardships. When the call for volunteers was made Wilson was the first to offer his services. He is from Honolulu, and is a son of ex- Marshal Wilson, who served under Queen LiJiuokalani. It was not long before May- nard joined him. Maynard is a son of Dr. Maynard of the Bankers’ Alliance of California at Los Angeles. Once it became known that there was danger in the venture, every student in the university wanted to participate, but the professors finally decided to send Wil- son and Maynard. From the university they came to San Francisco and parted— Maynard going to Los Angeles to visit his parents and Wilson going direct to Te- Luch:lpi. When Maynard joined him at that point they at once proceeded to pur- chase their outfit. In telling the story of their journey into the valley yesterday Wilson said: “We first of all purchased five burros, and these we packed with flour, jerked meat, canned goods, cuokin% utensils, a tent and all the other odds and ends of a prospector’s out- fit. For water we had a three-gallon keg, two one-gallon canteens and two quart canteens, all of which we kept constantly filled. When we made a start each of our donkeys had 100 pounds on his back and we were afoot. The next day we made twenty-three miles and were completely tired out when we reached the Sixteen- mile House. “After a night’s rest we made an easy stage and reached Kane’s Sprines early in the afternoon. We stayed there six days and explored Red Rock and Last Chance yons in search of fossils and minerals. We got plenty of the latter but none of the former. At our next stopping place— Mesquite—we lost one of our burros. There was no water and he followed a cow for seven miles, sucking her whenever he could get a chance before we could catch him. A band of wild jackasses kept us awake all the next night, and Maynard finally drove them away by firing a load of buckshot into their midst. “Passing through the Goler mining camp we reached Searls’ San Bernardino Borax Company’s camp, and _there we put in Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the sec- ond week in March. We secured a num- ber of fine specimens, and after killing and dressing a steer for Searls we secured about twenty pounds of jerked meat from him. Searls has a garden in the desert, which is seven miles from any habitation and which he keeps alive by water Yiped from the hills, seven miles away. The oranges were just ripening, but carloads of dried peaches, apples, apricots, grapes and figs were on the ground going to waste.. We took a sack of them along and had stewed fruit for supper and raisins for our rice pudding whenever we wanted them. Ajfter leaving Searls’ place we crossed the State Range into Panamint Valley, and the next morning attempted to cross the Alkali Lake. From Redland’s Mills we went to Postoffice Springs. ““It took us seven hours to cover the ten miles between Postoftice Springs and Sur- rise Canyon. At the latter place our urros again ran away, and Maynard had to chase them fully forty-six miles before he caught them. ““On the hills the snow and ice were very much against us. In order to gain the en- trance to Death Valley it took four hours of incessant toil to cover a mile and a half. Our burros were fagged out, and two of them went over a precipice and were dashed to death 500 feet below. After gathering up the remains of their packs, strange to say all that was missing were two teaspoons and a can of pepper. That night we dug a hole into the mountain and made & camp there in the snow. “On arriving at Furnace Creek we camped for seventeen days and explored the valley from one end to the other. Samples of minerals we secured without any trouble, but, as to fossil life, there was next to no trace. Our homeward journe; was almost in a bee line, and we coverec the 206 miles to Tehachapi in alittle under seven days, the first hundred being covered in thirty-three hours. SCOTCH CELEBRATION, Entertainment and Ball of St. Andrew’s Benevolent Soclety—Songs and Musiec. Scotch songs and Scotch music filled Scottish Hall last night when the St. An- drew’s Society gave its annual entertain- ment and ball.

An He Thinks That Callfornla Packers Should Adopt the British Way. The recent comments in the CArr on the fruit preserving industry in California have caused much discussion in the ranks of fruit wen. A gentleman who did not desire his name mentioned, and who was for seven years foreman for Messrs. Crosse & Black- well, the well-known London packing and exporting house, said yesterday: “The American manufacturer, and the American manufacturer only, is to blame for the existing condition of things. The reason why so many imported goods find a market here is because the American packer is not content wtth a small vrofit on his goods. He is a pig-headed individual who cannot and will not be taught any- thing. He is notconversant with the Eng- lish method of packing jams, jellies, mar- malade, etc. You cannot teach him any- thing, for he simply will not be taught by a foreigner. Furthermore, the American manutacturer grudges the expense of fitting up a factory on the English plan. In Amer- ica they pack preserves in the most ex- pensive way,that is the( keep them whole. k\'hile, by this method, the goods have a nice appearance, they have no flavor. The keeping of the fruit whole is a lengthy and 4 < injEngland they ‘jam’ all the fruit up, which keeps the flavor of the fruit intact for a longer time till it is wanted for bottling. Fruit can be preserved for a three months’ keeping or for a year. Itall depends upon the method of storing. It has to be stored at & certain temperature and if that temperature is changed fermen- tation sets in and the fruit is spoilt. “While it may be true that cer- tain fruits grown in California do not equal in flavor the same ones grown in the harder English climate, as an expert on the subject I maintain that if a factory were run upon the English plan in Cali- fornia the foreign product would soen have to go out of the market. A factory on such lines would cost about $45,000, and this sum would also furnish a running capital. “‘The orange, lemon and citron candied peel industry could also be developed to advantage in California, Why, it 1s im- possible in California to purchase such a thing as a Seville bitter orange. In Eng- land these are used in the manufacture of marmalade, but in California the ordinary sweet orange is employed.” OAPITAL PUNISHMENT. Governor Budd Telegraphs That He Is Opposed to It. The San Francisco newspaper,‘‘L’ Italia,” telegraphed on Thursday to Governor Budd, asking him to spare the life of Rico Morasco, who was to have been hanged yesterday. The telegram emphasized the fact that Italy, the country of the abolitionist,Cesare Beccaria, is the only country among the great European powers that has abolished cu{:m\l punishment. . he following reply was received from the Governor yesterday.
