These, with such resorts as the Giant Forest, Kings River Canyon, Mineral King, and canyons along the headwaters of the Kern, are at- tracting the attention of the tourists—and the fishing and hunting in the State are in these counties. Visalia, the county seat of Tulare County, is a thriving city of nearly 4000 population. Itisone of the oldest settle- ments in the San Joaquin Valley. It was an important trading point in the ’50's. The town is situated in a park of Califor- nia oaks—a city among the trees. For miles around the county roads afford a continuous drive under shading trees and along beautiful streams. No city inany of the valleys of California can excel its picturesqueness. In the early days it was called the “Four Creeks Country,” because the Kaweah River enters the broad plains east of [ forms a delta. The soil is rich, and when the sun shines warm on the sub-irrigated The prune trees for instance in the 600- acre orchard of Ben Maddox and his com- pany are as large at two years as in other | parts of the State where the same condi- | tions do not exist in four years. | The growth of deciduous fruit trees in the vicinity of Visalia is simply wonder- ful. The orchard of Mr. Fleming, a few miles out of the city. is one of the most profitable ranches in the State, and while there are many men counting their losses on an investment in fruit culture he is counting his profits. He -considers the country around Visalia adapted to fruit culture and gives the following reasons: First, a sub-irrigated soil; second, climate, and third, the cheapness of the lands. Tt is near Visalia that a committee of citizens picked from one prune tree 1102 pounds and afterward made affidavits to the fact. This statement can be made with a strict re- gard to the truth: the Visalia lands bring | unusually quick and exceedingly large re- turns as compared with other sections. Visalia, and dividing into~four branches | land vegetation grows with great rapidity. | The city bas a live board or trade, good schools, churches and social organizations. At the present time Visalia has achieved prominence by its public spirit mani- fested toward the building of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Rail- road. A recent telegram to the Carntold of the fact that there is not a vacant house or storeroom in the city of Visalia. Even in the summer, when many of its residents take their tents to the picturesque canyon and high mountain mesas in the vicinity of ount Whitney to engage in the sport of hunting and fishing, Visalia is filled with people. The schools of Tulare County, formerly under the charge of Professor Crookshanks, | and now under the supervision of Professor | McPhail, are progressive and complete in all departments. S TULARE. The city of Tulare is one of the trade | centers of the San Joaquin Valley, Freight- | wagons, loaded with wheat, approach the town from all directions, and the statistics | of exports speak well for the production of | Tulare County. Tulare has two enterpris- ing banking institutions, several large | mercantile establishments, as well as all | other lines of business. The streets are well graded, and the residence portion of the city contains many beautiful homes. The schools are noted for their efficiency, and the seven churches prove Tulare to be a patron of the various creeds. Tulare has during the past few years suffered from severe fires, but has gone right forward. For many years the South- | ern Pacific maintained its shops here and the removal caused Tulare quite aloss in business and population. The surround- ing country, however, rich in the products, cereals, fruits and vegetables, has started | it again on the up grade, and Tulare Oity will always be one of the important points of trade in the Ban Joaquin Valley. It has many enterprising citizens, and its news- papers are wide awake and progressive. It has recently organized an association of the San Joaquin Valley, which includes Tulare and Kern counties, isnoted for hav- ing the spirit of the new California. - The great wheat fields, the cattle ranges and the “no-fence” plains have given way to orange groves, fruit orchards, alfalfa fields #hd gardens. The great rivers have been turned into irrigating ditches—and the soil that has thirsted for many yearsis watered. The productions of this country have proved the value of irrigated lands in the San Joaquin. The crest of the Sierra culminates in the eastern border of Tulare County, in Mount ‘Whitney, with an altitude of 15,000 feet. The Sequoia National Park and a large A STREET SCENE IN VISALIA, [Drawn from a photograph.] Visalia is a beauntiful city. The high Sierras that seem to come almost to the edge, yet are forty miles distant, lend to it grandeur. The bouses are smothered in roses and fhe fields, instead of being barren, are either in trees, vegetables, forest or alfalfa. There are notable public and private buildings. The city is practi- cally ont of debt. Its streets are clean and the main blocks are paved with bitumen. A little city that will spend $75,000 on its streets is likely to hear the engine of pros- perity whistle in the immediate future. The city of Visalia is dressed up in nine- teenth century clothes. Like Trilby it is up to date. for the improvement and development of the place. BAKERSFIELD, Thé men who figure on railroads, loca- tions, colonies and places destined to be cities in the 8an Joaquin Valley never skip Bakersfield, Kern County has the advan- tage of having a big land firm to advertise and develop its resources—a firm that ad- vertises the largest irrigation system in America and a hundred thousand acres of land for sale.

THE PROPERTY OF FLEMING of the most complete and artistic presenta- tions of the merits of Kern County and the 8an Joaquin Valley that have ever been printed. Those who are interested in the production of alfalfa, cereals, fruit, stock- raising, minerals should secure a copy. Claus Spreckels, in his visits both to Visalia and Bakerstield, expressed surprise at the fertility of the soil and the thrifti- ness of the young cities. Bakersfield has a handsome new courthouse, several fine blocks, large mercantlle establishments, enterprising real estate men and pro- Rgressive citizens, The handsome edifice known as the general offices of the Kern County Tand Company is elegantly equipped, and maintains as fine an exhibit of the various products of the county asis usually seen at great fairs. Bakersfield depends largely for its pros- perity on the profits of its productive land, and its alfalfa, cereals, fruits, stock and mines pour into the town a good supply of cash and make it a prosperous city. As the terminal point of the San Joaquin Val- ley Railroad it has become particularly promiuent, and it and its tkrifty com- panion, Kern City, are not lacking either in natural advantages or in business enter- prise to build up and go forward, “BEST PEOPLE ON EARTH/” The Grand Lodge of Fiks to Convene in Buffialo. BUFFALO, N. Y. May 19.—Every- thing is now indicative of a specific and successful meeting of the Grand Lodge B. P. 0. E. in this city to-morrow. Fully three-fourths of the lodges will be rep- resented by delegates. The Buffalo lodge has made extensive preparations for the entertainment of the visiting Elks. The session of the Grand Lodge will be held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the initial session being opened by an address of welcome from the Mayor of Buffalo. SCHNAUBELT IN HONDURAS. The Haymarket Bomb-Thrower Recog- nized by a Correspondent. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 20.—A special to the World from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, says: The World correspondent was accosted yesterday by a beggar whom he recognized as Schnaubelt, one of the Chicago Hay- market anarchists. When asked his name the fellow gave a fictitious one, but when called by his right name acknowledged it. CONTROL OF SEMINARIES, Adjustment of the Question Vexing Presbyterians Not Yet in Sight. Seattle Making a Strong Campaign ‘ to Secure the Next Assembly. PITTSBURG, Pa., May 19.—Pittsburg Presbyterians boast especially of their orthodox Presbyterianism and claim the smoky atmosphere has had no effect in obscuring the clearness of their Calvinistic vision. But it is many a day since Pitts- burg was taken possession of so completely as to-day by the forces of the denomina- tion, Churches of all sorts and varieties opened their doors and pulpits, and it took a long columu of small type to set forth all of the appointments made and accepted by the divines of the Presbyterian General Assembly. The greatest interest was felt, however, in the sernion of the moderator, Dr. Rus- sell Booth, who preached as usual in the church where the assembly sits. He was greeted by a large audience. His text was taken from the Gospel of John xii:32; And T, if T be lifted from the carth, will draw all men unto me, His subject was the vicarious and aton- ing death of Christ, and the sermon was clear and powerful. If any of the audi- ence hoped for any utterances on questions in hot debate they were disappointed, as the only thing that could be construed into such an interpretation was the emphatic statement that, “As against infidelity, orthodoxy now has its innings.” Parts of two days have now been de- voted by the Presbyterian General Assem- bly to the discussion of the subject of assembly control of theological seminaries. To-morrow the matter will be resumed with vigor. Thus far all attempts to limit debate have been voted down overwhelmingly, but word has gone forth that a discussion must be reached at four o'clock Monday afternoon. Many, however, doubt the ability of the leaders to put this pro- gramme through. The attitude of Liberals favors postponement in the expectation that if the report of the Committee of Con- ference with the seminaries is thoroughly accorded it will be weakened and lose every day. Already the tyme occupied is so long that the commissioners are re- minded of the endless discussion in the Briggs and Smith cases. The result prom- ises to be that the causes of the mission- ary boards will be pushed aside, and that external questions will usurp a place which does not belong to them. The Pacific Coastis here again with a pressing invitation to the assembly to meetin 1896 in Seattle, Three years ago the meeting place was Portland, Or., and at ST, ALBANS IN ASHES, A Fearful Fire Sweeps Over the Vermont City. WIND AIDS THE FLAMES. Property Valued at Upwards of a Half Million Dollars Wiped Out. ROBBED OF THEIR HOMES. The Conflagration Makes a Clean Sweep Through Blocks of Residences. ST. ALBANS, Vr., May 19.—A disas- trous fire swept 8t. Albans to-day, destroy- ing dwellings, business blocks, public buildings and a large amount of other property. The loss will amount to at least a half million dollars. The fire broke out shortly after 3 o’clock in the lumber-yard of W. B. Fonda, and in a short time several large piles of lumber and business offices had been ignited. There was a heavy wind blowing at the time and the fire spread rapidly. Itde- stroyed Chisholm Bros.’ store and the tenement-house and drugstore owned and occupied by F. Eldred. The blaze next spread to the big building occupied by the Crown Furniture Com- pany and Colling’ meat market. The blocks of Wooa & Favro, J. H. Montfere and W. E. Dean, adjoining, were also de- stroyed in a short space of time. At this point the wind had increased to a miniature hurricane, and the burning embers were carried in every direction. Swanton and Burlington were called on for help and soon responded. It was found impossible to prevent the Main- street blocks from burning, and a dozen buildings were soon on fire, The first Main-street structures that ignited were the stores of W. 8. Bailey and F. B. Mor- ton. The Wallace Printing Company’s building, the stores of Lombard & Win- throp and Marceau & Vincent and Fuller’s livery stables were soon in ashes. The Government building on Kingman street caught fire a few minutes after 1 o'clock, and was soon gutted. Most of the papers, furniture, etc., were saved. The Hill block, occupied by J. E. Welch and W. N. Adams, was levelled to the ground. At 5:30 the Messenger building canght fire and burned fiercely for half an hour, the fire extending to the block occupied by ‘W. H. Ellis and W. H. Woodward’s store, Most of the buildings were of wood and burned like tinder, many occupants not having time to rescue their effects. Moore’s marble works on Foundry street. Ryan’s grocery store and twelve tenement houses in the vicinity on the same street were destroyed. Shortly before 6 o'clock the entire Bur- lington Fire Department arrived and all companies joined forces in an attempt to stop the fire on Main street. The attempt was partially successful and the fire was checked about 6:30 o’clock. in time to save the more valuable blocks on Main street. The stores of A. L. Weeks, A. J, Lang and buildings except the pulpmill were de- stroyed. This was one of the largest and best equipped plants in the State. The mills were owned by George Whiting of Menosha and William Whiting of this place. The loss will reach $150,000, with insurance about one-half. THE MINERS' CONVENTION. Samuel Roberts of Butte Elected Presi- dent of the Federation. DENVER, Coro., May 19.—The con- vention of the Western Federation of Miners concluded its session to-day. Sen- ator Edward Boycé of Butte was made organizer for the body, and as soon as the execntive committee maps out a plan of work for him he will start on his labors. It is claimed that on the aaconq Monday of next May, when the Federation is to meet here again, the mining districf,s will bave been so thoroughly banded in the body that the convention will be the largest labor meeting ever held here. P. H. Clifford was made delegate to any labor convention in the country t¢ which the Federatiom may see fit to send a rep- resentative, He will attead such meet- ings as the executive committee_ may choose. George. E. Pettibone of this city was made an honorary member of the or- ganization on account of his sacrifices and services for the union causes in Idaho. The election of officers resulted as fol- lows: FPresident, Sanuel Roberts, Butte, Mont.; vice-presidents, James Leonard, Cripple Creek, John Bevin, Granite Moun- tain, Mont.; secretary-treasurer, W. H. Eddy; executive committee, Thomas Gra- ham, Samuel Colull, James Maher and Richard Thomas, all of Montana, and Charies Alexander of South Dakota. e CURRENCY QUESTION IGNORED. Missouri Democrats Refuse to Be Di- vorced From Partisanship. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 19,—An informal meeting of several members of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee was held here thisevening. It wasstated by one of the members that the question of calling a State convention for the purpose of con- sidering the advisability of the Democracy taking a stand on the currency matter was brought up, but met litlle encouragement, on the ground that such a conference would be premature and its conclusions might be in opposition to the will of the party convention to be held a year hence. CHURCHME IN A LAWSUT An Action Against Archbishop Kenrick by Priests of His Diocese. It Is Sought to Recover Property Held by the Venerable Prelate in Fee Simple. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 19.—Prominent Catholic clergy and lay men figure ina suit filed Baturday in the District Court against the venerable Archbishop Peter Richard Kenrick by priests of bis diocese and laymen to divest him of all title and control in the valuable church property of the archdiocese of St. Louis, held by him in fee. The petition avers that the defendant is 89 years of age and so weak in mind as to be unable to perform the duties of his office. On this account the property held by him, consisting of lands, churches, convents, cemeteries apd asylums, is liable to be lost or impaired. 4 ‘fhe prayer for the appointment of an- G. H. Harvey, however, were burned, and at this point the progress of the fire was stayed. Control of the fire was obtained on Foun- dry street, six blocks north of Moore’s marble works. The conflagration made almost a clean sweep from Stebbins street to Hoyt, turning maay people out of their homes. St. Albans Hotel was saved with that time the Briggs case came up. Itseffect upon the church west of the Rocky Moun- tains was not all that had been antici- pated. Now, with the burning questions ont of the way, a more favorable impres- sion is hoped for. Dr. Alexander Allisonand Elder W. R. Ballard, from the First Church of Beattle, are engaged in canvassing and are forming sentiment in favor of their city. They promise good rates, excellent accom- modations and a meeting place second to none in the country. The question is likely to be one of ex- pense and it may be necessary for the baclkers of Seattle to raise a guarantee fund to make it possible to take 600 commission- ers 8o far and to keep them so long, The other place mentioned is Saratoga, where the assembly met last year and where the commissioners can be entertained at less ::’pense than anywhere else in the coun- THE INDIANA PLAN. Indianapolis Presbyterians Warmly Fa- vor Its Continuance INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp, May 19.—The fact that the general assembly of the Pres- byterian church, now in session at Pitts- burg to decide whether Indianais to be allowed to carry on its home migsions, pmmgwd a union meeting in this city of all the fourteen Presbyterian congrega- tions. Nearly 3000 people were present, and by their enthusiasm expressed them- selves as opposed to going back to the old plan of being tied to the home board. The ‘‘Indiana plan”’ has caused the es- tablishment of flguen new churches in the State during the year 1894, while during twenty vears under the old plannot a il!i;lhggs Presbyterian church was estab- SESCI Acquitted of Murder. CASPER, Wyo., May 19.—Joel J. Hurt, M;yor of this city and ex-fitnu Senator, who shot and killed his wife's paramour, William Milne, on April 8 last, ‘has been acquitted of the charge of murder. great difficulty. The fire, after leaving Fonda’s lumber- yard, passed in a northerly course along St. Catherine street, eating up many wooden buildings near by, then going along Kingman street. From Center street along one side to Hoy street on the other, the blaze swept through the entire district to and across the street, which for several blocks was laid waste, including a numnber of tenement houses. Fully thirty families are homeless to- night. The hotels are using kerosene and candles to-night, as the gas and electric- light service are cut off. It is impossible to give the insurance on the burned prop- erty, as the underwriters are unable to ascertain what the figures are. BLAZE AT HALIPAX. Wharves Owned by the Dominion Gov- ernment Destroyed. HALIFAX, N. 8., May 19,—This city was visited by a $100;000 fire this morning, and there was not a cent’s worth of insur- ance on the property destroyed. The flames started on the Intercolonial Railway’s long wharves in the cattle-sheds, Both wharf and sheds, in which were sixty head of cattle, were soon consumed, as well as the freight and immigration sheds. The fire also swept the immense coaling pier, trestle work.and wharf of the Domin- ion Government, and on which were a number of loaded coalears. On the sur- rounding tracks were a great number of empty and loaded cars, but locomotives got them out of danger. The property was owned by the Dominion Government and not insured. The fire was supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. The other Gov- ernment terminus was destroyed by fire, and the loss of this one means great incon- venience to shipping and commercial circles. DEATH IN THE FLAMES. COharred Corpses Recovered From the Ruins of a Birmingham Fire. BT. LOUISB, Mo., May 19.—A special to the Republic’from Birmingham, Ala., says: At 3 o’clock this morning fire broke out in George Mitchell’s grocery-store at Gate City and burned an entire block before it could be checked, destroying Mitchell’s store, J. C. Fant's boarding-house, Jake Wise’s residence, Pierson’s meat market, Mrs. Horsefee’s residence, the Gate City high school and two other buildings. Fant’s boarding-house was located over Mitchell’s store, the rooms being occupied by fifteen -mill men. They had ‘been drinking the night before, and it was with ‘great difficulty that any of them were saved.. The rescuers dragged some from their beds, while others jumped from the windows ciad only in their night gar- ments, James Bmithson’s charred corpse has been recovered from the debris. Two strangers are missing. Richard Long had a leg burned off, and others received slight injuries. Fire in a Pulpmill. STEVENS POINT (Wis.), May 19.—Fire ‘:oké out last night about 11 o’clock in the sement of the Wisconsin River Paper and Pulp Company’s mill, located at Whit- ing, & few miles from here, and all the other trustee is only a request that the law transfer the cesan property to Coadjutor Arcibishop Kain. Several weeks ago a newspaper controversy arose over the reported loss of Archbishop Ken- rick’s will. Archbishop Kain gave out at the time that the testament was in the hands of Archbishop Hennessy of Dubuque, Iowa. Since then, however, arother and later will has been found, The plaintiffs, who, by the way, act as beneficiaries of the trust, say this last will is confused and almost impossible of intgrpretation; that the devisements would come to naught in case Archbishop Kenrick died, and this in- strument was filed for probate. Another cause for fear growing out of the improperly drawn will is the possible action of heirs of Archbishop Kenrick. This danger is anticipated from Ireland, where the aged prelate is supposed to have relatives. Were he to die and not leave a valid will, these heirs would have a prima facie cause for action for the possession of millions which he holds in fee simple, The anxiety of Archbishop Kain and his advisers to avert publicity and a law suit brought Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia to this city a few weeks ago. Archbishop Ryan went home unsuccessful and the lawyers set to work. Yesterday’s suit is the last resort of Archbishop Kain to get full control of the diocese. SR R S NEGROES TO OKGANIZE. 4 Move on Foot to Concentrate the Col- ored Vote of Texas. _ ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 19.—A special {o the Republic from Houston, Texas, says: A call has been issued for a State confer- ence of negroes to be held here May 23. It is stated that the race suffers from three causes, viz.: Anti-negrolegislation suchas the separate coach law, mob violence and non-representation on juries, which have come either from vicious laws or from want of laws affording relief to cure these evils. Ttisset forth that the negro holds the balance of power, and that this meet- ing will be for the purpose of concentrat- ing the negro vote. PLAYING THE RACES IBARRED. Novel Order Promulgated by the Presi- dent of a. 8t. Louis Bank. ST, LOUIS, Mo., May 19.—President William Thompson of the Bank of Com- merce has issued a peremptory order for- bidding any and every employe of the Bank of Commerce from attending horse races under penalty of dismissal. The tendency and opportunity of the races to lose money and eventually become defaulters is so great, the bank president thinks, that it is dangerous for young men to attend. He has decided that his clerks shall not submit themselves to such great temptation. g L Placing the Bond Issue. 8T, LOUIS, Mo;, May 19.—Washington Adams, general manager of the Chicago and 8t. Louis Electric Railway Company, which is being built between St. Louis and the City of the Lakes, said to-day that ar- rangements have been made with Chicago bankers for placing $9,000,000 of the $11,- 000,000 of bonds to be issued. All will be sold in this country and will be bought in 8t. Lonis, Chicago and New York. —————— Coast Excursionists Reach |Baltimore, BALTIMORE, Mp., May 19.—The Paci- fic Coast- excursionists, composed of the ireight conductors and their families, reached this city this evening from At- lanta.

United Work Can Alone Win in the Struggle for Sound Money. A CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION, It Is Proposed to Flood the Entire Country With Financial Literature. SALT LAKE, Uran, May 19.—Thomas G. Merrill, Edward B. Light and Governor L. Bradford Prince, the committee ap- pointed on Saturday by the executive com- mittee of the National Bimetallic Union to prepare iistructions for the organization of State, district, city and town unions throughout the country, have issued the following address on the snbject. To the People of the United States : 1t is & mat- ter of vital importance, in carrying out the plan of action adopted by the meeting of the National Bimetallic Unioa, that in districts, towns, cities and States the organization of bi- metallie unions be entered upon at once. The object of these unions is for the thorough or- ganization in the interest of the education of the votersof the land on the financial ques- tion, which is the burning question befere the American people to-day. The only hope in the struggle for the full restoration of silver to its place as money st & ratio of 16 to 1 by the United Siates, isin such an education of the people as will cause & majority of the voters of our eountry in November, 1896, to vote for in- dependent bimetallism regardless of party lines. The formation of these unions may be en- tered upon at once, and we suggest that each union adopt the name of the district, town or State in which they are organized, and that the secretary of each union address a letter to E. B. Light, secretary of the National Bimetal- lic Union, Denver, Colo., who will forward a form of econstitution and by-laws recom- mended by the national organization. As goon as the local reorganizations are com- pleted they shall appoint a committee of their most earnest workers for the purpose of circu- lating a subscription-paper throughout their entire communities. We would further rec- ommend that the subscription be made in monthly peyments, which shall continue until November 1, 1896. Further recommendations will be made by the secretary at the time the constitution and by-laws are forwarded. The money so raised is required for the purchase and circulation of bimetallic literature, furnishing honest and unanswerable arguments for full and inde- pendent bimetallism; believing thatthis is the only way to restore permenent prosperity to our beloved land. This is a struggle between the money power and patriotism, and in order to win our cause, as we have the all-powerful money interests to oppose us, it is absolutely necessary that every patriotie citizen shall at once enlist in this fight and render us as great assistance as is in bis power until this battle is won, EpwARD B, LiGHT, Secretary National Bimetallic Union.
