4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1895. THREATEN TO MUTINY Spain Is Now Facing a New Revolt in Cuba. TROUBLE IN THE ARMY. The Order That Militiamen Must Serve Causes Dissatisfaction. RIOTS CERTAIN TO ENSUE. Volunteers Will Take Up Arms Against Campos if the Mandate Is Enforced. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 27.—A special to the Herald from Key West says: The most important ne received by steamer last night shows the dissatisfaction manifested by the inhabitants of tke island over the order of the Captain-General demanding military service from them in the field to suppress the insurrection. It isexpected that before the end of the week open conflict will occur between the volun- teers and the authorities. General Campos’ order, as published in the official organ, the Diario de Marina, requires that all men drafted in Spain be- tween the years 1892 and 1894 and who are now enrolled in the militia throughout Cuba shall present themselves within eight days in order to be assigned to regular regiments for service in the interior. Those refusing to appear are to be tried by court-martial as deserters and shot. The colonel of each regiment of volunteers will be held p ally responsible for every man in his command. The volunteers, who bave always con- sidered themselves a favored class, now openly refuse to obey the orders. insist that being enrolled in the militia exempts them from compulsory service in the regular army. Others adopt the sub- terfuge that they will only serve in their own regiments and under their present officers, and will resist any attempt to de- prive them of their rights. When it is considered that many of those included in General Campos’ order have attained the rank of captain of militia since their arrival in Cuba, and also that substitutes will not be accepted as heretofore, their protest appears to be well grounded. Naturally these officers will have to serve as privates. It is dectared that if the order is not re- voked or modified a general mutiny will take place, and as the volunteers hold the key to the situation a revival of the scenes that took place in the '70’s will be re- enacted. Dodgers have been circulated among the volunteers to assemble in uni- form. Itisexpected that in the excited state of the Havana citizens a riot will ensue. RAIDED BY REBELS. El Cristo Has Fallen, and the Army Is Moving on San Luis. NEW YORK, N4Y., May 27.—A special to the Herald from Santiago says: The telegraph wires were cut between this city, San L Songo and intermediate points on the Sabinella and Morotto Rail- road, and it is feared that trafiic will be again suspended. The rebel troops raided El Cristo. They burned the commodious garrison building in Moron and are within half a league of San Luis. Itisthought an attack upon the latter place is seriously contemplated. San Luis is one of the terminal points of therailroad. Itisinhabited mostly by loyal Spanish citizens, of whom a majority are well-to-do. A flutter of excitement is noticeable among the Spanish marines, caused by the news that two new expeditions sailed for Cuba, one from Florida and the otherfrom Honduras. The latter was fitted out in New Orleans. It is said three Spanish war- ships hurried to sea with orders to inter- cept both. Only the gunboat Conde de Venadito, whose boilers were strained re- cently in a fruitless race after the Nor- strand, remains in port. She will go to Tavana soon for repairs. A British subject, General Barnes, has been arrested and locked up here asa po- litical suspect. KILLED BY SPANIARDS. Rumored Death of an American Corre- spondent in Cuba. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 27.—A special to the World from Havana says: An unconfirmed report comes from Santiago that an American named Wood- bury, or Woodward, was killed by Span- iards in the fight at Boca Deserios, where Jose Marti is said to have fallen. - Wood- ward arrived on the Niagara, the direct steamer from New York, the latter part of April. He was very young, had a bright, honest face and a confiding manner. He said he was from St. Louis, and after a stay in New Vork he had come to see what he could do in the rebellion. He wasto furnish letters toa New York newspaper and to serve the Western journals. He was poorly equipped and seemed short of money. In addition to being wholly ignorant of the Spanish language, Woodward had vague ideas of the geography of the coun- try and of the characteristics of the people. Armed with a letter to a well-known Cuban, who was in active sympathy with the revolution, Woodward announced his intention of going to the interior. The correspondents tried to dissuade him, but he replied that he would make a reputation s a correspondent or die in the attempt. —_— APPEAL TO THE GOVERNOR. Colorado Sheep-Growers Want Protection Against Cattlemen. DENVER, Coro., May 27.—A letter was received to-day by President Dubois of the Veterinary and Sanitary Board from J. C. Edwards, owner of 40,000 sheep now in the northern part of Routt County, asking the Sanitary Board and the Gov- ernor to use their influence to induce the cattlemen to allow sheep to come through. The northern part of Routt County, where the sheep are now located, is com- mon ground, and both cattle and sheep graze there without any friction between the owners. As Governor McIntyre is out of the city, what course he will pursue in this case is unknown, but his authority in the matter can only be used after the Sheriff of the county has done everything in his power. However, it is practically edmitted that the Sheriff is powerless to render any assistance in the uprising of the cattlemen. Edwards states that he is an old resident of Colorado and a heavy taxpayer, and claims the right to drive his property wherever necessary. . He wants to drive his flocks through the lower part of Routt County until a shipping point on the Rio Grande Railroad can be reached, and has promised the cattlemen that no damage shall be done to the range or ranch prop- erty. Edwards has proposed to the objectors that they shall select the trail the sheep shail take, but they demur and have called another meeting to assemble at McCoys, Garfield County, this week, to organize for further resistance. Edwardsasks the Gov- ernor to attend this meeting and argue for moderation and recognition of the sheep growers. — SHORT LINE RECEIVERSHIP. Application of the Union Pacific Branch Eoads Heard at St. Paul. ST. PAUL, Mixy., May 27.—The appli- cation of the Oregon Short Line and the Utah Northern for a separate receivership and the payment of overdue interest on coupons on prior liens came up to-day in the United States court of this city. The receivers of the Union Pacific road pre- sented a report of the amounts applicable to pay the first mortgage interest of the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern road in order that the road might be turned over to a receiver appointed under the foreclosure of the second mortgage. The forencon was devoted to a discussion of the points of the printed reports made by the receivers, no result being reached. This afternoon there was a long argu- ment over the sitnation. The receivers of the Union Pacific said that the transfer of the Oregon Short Line and the issunance of certificates at 95, running at 6 per cent, meant that the present interest of 6 per cent would be increased to 8¢ per cent, and that the court would, under the cir- cumstances, make the order of transfer. Judge Sanborn said he should make no order with reference to the issuance of cer- tificates not heretofore made by Judge Gil- bert of Oregon. T COST OF A STRIKE. Expenses Incurred by the Unions in the Brooklyn Trolley Walkout. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 27.—The executive board or district assembly No. 75, Knights of Labor, has made public the amount of money that the late trolley strike cost their organization. Itisin the form of an itemized statement and will be presented to the delegates of assembly No. 75 at the next monthly meeting by Dis- trict Master Workman Connelly. Alto- gether the snm of $13,739 69 was expended. One of the largest items was the expendi- ture of $4000 to send non-union men to the cities from which they came. This was kept up until the constant and increasing drain made it impossible to continue that method of warfare any longer. Sl BOLD ST. LOUIS FOOTPADS. A Messenger Knocked Down and Robbed in Broad Daylight. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 27.—Richard Boze- wetter, a messenger in the empioy of the Stefel brewery, while on his way to the bank about noon to-day, was knocked down on the street and robbed of a satchel containing $1950 in cash and a large amonnt of checks. His assailants were two men apparently 22 years of age, neither of whom was known to him. Both men escaped. HAWAI'S EXTBA SESSION Dole’s Reason for Reassem- bling the Legislature Yet a Mystery. An Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus In the Case of a Prince. HONOLULU, Hawar, May 20. — The coming meeting of the Legislature is ab- sorbing public consideration just at pres- ent to the exclusion of nearly everything else. The election to fill the vacancy in the lower House caused by the death of Charles Carter resulted in the return of the Government candidate. So little interest was taken in it that no opposition what- ever was made to A. G. M. Robertson, Deputy Attorney-General and one of the Judge Advocates before the recent Mili- tary Commission. The general apathy may be estimated from the fact that only 111 votes were cast out of a total of five or six hundred, The Legislature is called to meet on June 12, and some of its members from the other islands are alrgady in the city. What the Government programme consists of is un- known, except that it includes the passage of President Dole’s new land bill, on which he has been working for months past. The main provisions are the allotment of Gov- ernment lands to small settlers in forty- acre tracts, provisions by which settlers now on leasehold terms may obtain deeds to their lands upon certain conditions, and the prohibition of the sale of lands in large tracts to foreign corporations. The sensation of the hour is the filing at noon to-day in the Supreme Court of an application for a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of one of the ex-Princes, Jonah Kalauianaole, commonly known as Prince Cupid, who was one of the political pris- oners sentenced by the Military Commis- sion to serve a sentence of five years’ im- prisonment and pay a fine of $5000. The writ was granted, returnable before a spe- cial term of the court on Thursday next. The grounds of the application are the il- legality and unconstitutionality of the late Military Commission. The decision is looked forward to with interest, as it af- fects every political prisoner. There are many who think the application sheuld have been made in behalf of Lilinokalani, while others think Paul Neumann knows what he is doing. NEW PACIF. STEAMERS. Four of Them to Run Between Panama and California Ports. PANAMA, May 27.—Four new steamers, which have heretofore not been in the coast trade, have contracted with the Panama Railroad Company to ‘regularly run between this port and California ports with regular stops at Mexican and Central American ports. These steamers will be run independently of the railroad, but it is an open secret that merchants have signed an agreement to patronize the new steamers sufficiently to guarantee expenses. Steamers will also be put on the Atlantic side connecting with New York, Philadel- {hh and Baltimore and West Indian ports. t is stated that the new steamers will sail under the British flag. FUORMOSA’S FREEDOM. Soldiers Occupying the Island Declare X Jor the Republic. : WASHINGTON, D. C., May 27.—A cablegram has been received by the State Department from the United States Con- sul at Amoy, China, stating that the soldiers occupying Formosa have declared for the republic. : HONGKONG, Cuisa, May 27. — The Japanese have arrived off Tamsui, on the northwest coast of the island of Formosa, ‘and fighting is expected to occur, ACTIVE CAMPAIGN OPENS, Woman’s Suffrage Work to Be Vigorously Pushed in the Future. AN ORGANIZATION IS FORMED. The California Suffrage Constitu- tional Amendment Campalgn Association. The most important result of the ‘Women’s Congress was the meeting held yesterday morning at the First Congrega- tional Church, at which an organization, t0 be known as “The California Suffrage Constitutional Amendment Association” was organized. The shots fired by the congress were scattering, but it is pro- posed that deadly broadsides shall deplete the ranks of the enemy (error) now that the association has organized for vigorous warfare. Mrs. Sarah B, Cooper called the meeting to order and stated that a committee, com- posed of Miss Severance, Miss Shaw and Mrs. Sargent, had been appointed and was now in conference concerning plans for the furtherance of the campaign for equal suffrage. Mrs. Cooper said she was happy to again call upon ‘“‘our beloved Miss Anthony,” and that lady came forward. Miss Anthony said this was a hopeful meeting after the series of well-attended conferences last week. She fancied there was 1o such thing as washing day in the West, as it would be hard to get such an audience together down East on Monday morning. The adjective male is a very good adjective in its place, but never in a suffrage class. The purpose of the meet- ing was to_organize forces to induce the voters of the State of California to strike out that restrictive word from the cons! tution, [Applause.] ‘““We want the opin- ions of women,” she said, “to count at the polls as the opinions of men count there. Women will not be respected as they want to be till their opinions may be crystallized into law. Men regard women as the law does. The male voters need not be ex- pected to forego party politics. Occasion- ally you may find a man who will do so, but not often. b “The object of the committee formed this morning will be to watch the yarious re- ligious conventions and secure the indorse- ment of the sufirage movement of those bodies. Itshould keep a watchful eye on the meetings of teachers. The Kuights of Laber, the typesetters’ unions,the Grangers’ meetings, every organization—educational, business, philanthropic or social bodies— should be importuned to give their sanc- tion to the cause by adopting resolutions favoring it. ““If the preliminary work be done now, when it seems almost premature, and done thoroughly, every political meeting will be a woman suffrage meeting, every move- ment in the political campaign will be a movement for equal suffrage. Nothing will go through unless it becomes a part of the party platform and indorsed by the party leaders. That is the reason it has failed in States where the campaign has been prosecuted on other lines.” Mrs. Harlan suggested that the Miners’ Association would meet at the Palace Hotel June 6. “This,” she =aid, “is an im- portant association and if its co-operation should be secured the ladies may feel that their work is going on underground as well as above ground.” Miss Anthony said the point was a good one. The natural tendency is toremain in the condition we were born into, and work should be done in every direction and with all organizations, in order to remove prejudice, and oné of the strongest preju- dices, hoary with age as it is, is that man may vote and woman may not. Mrs. Cooper stated that some of the most eminent men of the city have been converted to the cause of woman suffrage l{{ the noble work of Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw in last week’s conference. A judge well known in this city is one of the number. ‘“Name! name!” was heard from the audience, but the lady declined to giveit until she was authorized to do so. At the suggestion of Mrs. Swift Mrs. Holbrook-Blinn was called upon for a statement. Mrs. Cooper said she would be glad indeed to call upon the president of the State Woman'’s Suffrage Society. Mrs. Blinn spoke warmly of the work of Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw and ex- pressed her pleasure atthe strong stand for suffrage taken by Mrs. Cooper. She said she firmly believed the constitutional amendment granting suffrage to woman would be passed. Two of the ladies desired some informa- tion in regard to the work done by the suf- frage association of California. Miss An- thony asked permission to take Mrs, Blinn’s place in replying to that question. It bad been the sentiment, and it was a proper one, that the active campaign should not be opened till the close of the ‘Woman'’s Congress, ‘It is not now,” she said, “a %uextmn of what has been done, but of what will be done. Let nothing of what has been, or has not been done, stand in the way of the work that remains.” Mrs. Van Pelt said the ministers of Cali- fornia would support the movement. - The W. C. T. U. would do so. She believed the women of California all favored it. Indeed, she was sure the moral forces would be behind the movement—the Pro- hibitionists. Mrs. Woodhams said the i;angers would be solid on the question. rs. Macomb expressed her belief that organizations like those mentioned by some of the ladies should and would hold their rggular work in abeyance for the time and labor solely for equal suffrage. A lady in the audience wished to make a confession. Bhe had been lukewarm asa supporter of the cause, but she proposed henceforth to give neither herself nor her friends nn{ rest till equal suffrage was an accomplished fact. Mrs, Harlow spoke of a strong statement, by the Whisky Gazette, and said the class represented by that organ should be en- listed in the cause. The workers should not congratulate themselves on success till this was done. . Miss Anthony indorsed that suggestion. “Don’t go into the campaign as n.gW. 0. U. woman, nor as a whisky woman. I have seen 4000 women go to the polls and vote solidly for whisky candi‘d’ams, S0 called. Vote for equal suffrage, but don’t vote or work as specialists.” Mr. O’Farrell said he desired to make a suggestion. Prohibition is a thing of the past. Prohibition does not prohi Miss Shaw said she hoped An- thondv‘s position would not be misunder- stood. “The idea is, we want suffrage pure and simple. We want to work for the cause, not as one affiliated primarily with an organization of any other object.”” She bhad never wasted her breath ‘‘hollering” for any political party. She never would until it would ‘holler” for her. She thou%ht all the partiesa littleoff. Women should not talk about what they would do with their club till they got it. Go into the campaign not as Jew or Greek, bond or free, but as a woman saffragist. Mrs. Smith said she belonged to the ele- ment known as the labor class, but she proposed to keep that fact in the back- ground during her work. - She is a temper- ance woman, but will not antagomze by forcing that upon people. She proposed to work for suffrage alone until it was se- cured. After that she would exercise the right as she thought best. At this point Miss Severance, chairman of the committee appointed to draft a con- stitution, made her mgort, which was adopted. The constitution was read b sections, and adopted, with some amend- ments, as follows: ARTiCLE I—The name of this association shall be the California Suffrage Constitutional Amendment Campaign ation. Art, IL—The object of the association shall be to secure the success of the pending sui- frage constitutional amendment, by whatever meaus the executive board may consider wise. Art. 'L—The dues of this association shall be §1 yearly. 2 Art. TV.—The officers of this association shall be a president, three vice-presidents at large, corresponding and recording secretaries, treas- S r ¥ he oiicers shall be nominated from Tt V.~ shal the floor and :l?:ctg?lmby formal ballot and shall hold office to the end of the campaign. Art. VL—An adyisory board composed of men and women shall be sélected by the executive board at their discretion. Art. VIL—County associations may become auxiliaries by the paymentof ten cents a mem- ber to the State association. Art.VIIL—This constitution may be amended, notice, however, having been given at the pre- ceding meeting. By-laws may be added to or smended at any meeting by & two-thirds vote of the members present. Art. IX.—This association shall meet at a date fixed by the executive board. : The election of officers resulted in the unanimous bestowal of the office of presi- dent upon Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper. The sec- retary cast the ballot for the remaining of- ficers with the following result: Mrs. A. A. Sargent, first vice-president; Mrs. John F. Swiit, second vice-president; Mrs. E. O. Smith, third vice-president; Mme., L. A. Sorbier, treasurer; Mrs. Ada C. Van Pelt, recording secretary; ss Harriet Cooper, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Garrison Geist, auditor; Miss Caroline Severance, Mrs. Sarah Knox Goodrich and George T. Gaden, honorary vice-presidents. A communication from Mayor Sutro, in- viting the ladies of the conyention to visit the baths at his summer home, Arcadia, wasread and on motion of Mrs. Laura de Force Gordon was accepted with thanks. Mrs. Bidwell sent greeting and regrets that she was not able to be present. "An invi- tation from Morris & Kennedy of Post street, asking the ladies to view their exhi- bition of paintings, was also read. Most of the ladies present joined the associa- tion, the membership fees received making a snug nucleus for a campaign fund. It was stated that others desiring to join should send their membership fees or call on Mme. Sorbier at 103 Van Ness avenue, on Tuesdays, or to Mrs. George T. Gaden at 1322 California strect, Miss Anthony made a ringing speech at the close of the meeting, urging the ladies to work to the end that the political parties show their hand as far as suffrage for women was con- cerned. ‘‘As well that they take thcir stand against us as be covert enemies. Do not be betrayed by smiles,”” she said. Mrs. Cooper bade the ladies who were about to depart for other counties a kind adieux, thanking them for their coopera- tion, and hoping the next meeting would be productive of even greater good than this. She then declared the convention a { rned sine die. Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw met the Congregational ministers at 1:30 . »., and were entertained by the Unitarian Club at dinner at the Palace hotel last evening. They will make addresses before the stu- dents of the High School this morning, will address the Teachers’ Association at Golden Gate Hall at1:30, and attend a re- ception in their honor by the Century Club this afternoon. To-moitrow’s programme includes lusicheon with the Ebell Society at 12 and a reception by the ladies of Oak- land. They will leave on Thursday for a week at Yosemite, will seend two days at San Jose, spend a week or more.in the southern part of the State, chiefly in Los Angeles. On their return they will hold a mass-meeting in Oakland June 25 and another in this city two days later. ST, CLAR TO BE HANGED. The Murderer of Mate Maurice Fitzgerald Must Pay the Penalty. United States Marshal Baldwin Will Carry Out the Law Next Friday at Noon. The execution of Thomas St. Clair, con- victed of the murder of Mate M. Fitzgerald of the American bark Hesper, will take place next Friday in San Quentin, unless the President extends executive clemency. The chances are all against any such action being taken. The prisoner will be trans- ferred from the Santa Clara County Jail to-day, and the execution will be as private as the law requires. The Hesper sailed from Sydney, N.S. W., nearly two years ago. She had on bcard a cargo of coal for Honolulu, and all went well until the vessel was two weeks out. Then there were mutterings among the crew, and finally, according to the testi- mony given during the trial, a conspiracy was formed to murder the captain and mate, seize the yessel and run away with the captain’s wife and the money known to be in the cabin, It ‘was a beautiful night in the tropics when the tragedy took place. Chief Officer Maurice Fitzgerald was on watch and Captain Sodegren was below asleep. Herman Sparf, Hans Hansen, Thomas St. Clair and Thomas Green formed part of the starboard watch, and when the mate walked aft to see why a sail was not draw- ing they fell on him in a body. He was knocked down with a club and then hacked to pieces wi‘h an ax. From the testimony—and Thomas Green was State’s evidence—it appears that St. Clair struck the first blow and assisted in cutting the officer to pieces and in throwing the re- mains oyerboard. Captain Sodegren’s wife was awakened by thedgmnns of the dying mate, and she aroused her husband. Wien an attempt was made a little later on to get the cap- tain on deck he refused to go, and threat- ened to shoot the first man who attempted to enter the cabin. Next day the muti- neers gave in and were ironed. The Hes- per was run inte Tahiti, and the men Were turned over to the French authorities. They were sent to San Krancisco on the barkentine Tropic Bird, and Jater on were tried in the United States Circuit Court. 8t. Clair, Sparf and Hansen were found guilty and sentenced to death. Their cases were carried to the Supreme Court, and while the verdict in the case of St. Clair was affirmed Sparf and Hansen were granted a new trial, Hansen’s case came up a few days ago, and owing to the clever manner in which his case was handled by Attorney James Smith he escaped. Sparf will also prob- get off, but St. Clair, the ringleader, ably g;; have to answer for the crime next Fri- ——————— TFoo raised by the Royal Baking Powder may be eaten hot, even by dyspeptics, with impunity.

THE FARMERS’ ENCAMPMENT. Conducted for the Benefit of All Who Are Interested In Agriculture. Noting the interest displayed in the Farmers’ Camp of Instruction which is to be opened the present season in the Santa Cruz Mountains near Wrights, some inter- esting information has been furnished by the committee in charge. The proposal originated in Highland Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, in whose vicinity the camp is located. It is not in- tended as a State movement, California, in the judgment of the committee, being far too large to be properly served by a camp of this kind. It is designed, rather, for the special convenience of the bay and coast counties and generally to the district looking to these mountainsas a summer recreation ground. It is presumed that there will be visitors from all parts of the State, and it is hoped that in due time sim- ilar summer camps will be established else- where, Itis in no sense to be a grange gather- ing, except in so far that it originated in the grange, and will be owned and con- trolled by the grange and conducted by it in the interest and for the benefit of all'in- terested in agriculture and horticulture and in the study of economic topics espe- cially bearing on rural life. It is hoped and exgected that its courses will be at- tended by business men as well as, farmers whereby the two classes may be brought together in discussions upon subjects af- fecting the entire commonwealth. The camp is to be opened early in each season and maintained as a camp as late as any wish {o remain. In this camp eyery possible provision will be made for those enjoying tent life. Every tent will have a comfortable floor provided by the camp, with water conveyed by pipes. Upon these floors campers can pitch their tents, or tents can be bought or rented at the camp. Supplies of all kinds can be purchased as cheaply as elsewhere, and no effort will be spared by the committee in charge to enable all attending to enjoy a delightful summer outing at a nominal expense. As the vicinity is a well-known summer resort, all those preterring to board, or to live in tents with day board, can be readily accommodated in the immediate vicinity of the camp. There are a dozen excellent resorts within a short distance. At such time during the summer as ex- perience shall show to be convenient for the greatest number it is expected to es- tablish regular four weeks’ university ex- tension courses. Kor the present year the plans so far contemplate regular instruc- tion only for two weeks. uring other parts of ‘the season there would be such conferences and discussions or entertain- ments as might be arranged. The regular university extension courses are to be as follows: I. Agricultural, under the direction of the argicultural department of the Univer- sity of California. I. Economic, under the direction of the department of economics of Leland Stan- ford Jr. University. The proper departments of both univer- sities have agreed to undertake the work, aithough the exact topics to be taken up or the time and length of the courses have not yet been fixed by them. 3 Hx%hhmd Grange, as the originator of the plan, proposed to San Jose Grange, as the strongest grange in the district im- mediately affected, to take the leadership | d: of the movement, but after mature con- sideration it was deemed best that High- land Grange, being on the spot, should have charge of all business arrangements, while the educational features should be arranged by the State Grange, and it has been so settled. The master of the State Grange will at once appoint a committee, who, in conference with the professors of the two universities, will determine and announce the time and term of regular in- struction. In the meantime the local com- mittee, by authority of the executive com- mittee of the State Grange, is conducting the preliminary correspondence and pre- paring the way for prompt action when the committee is appointed. In the meantime Highland Grange and the community about them are actively engaged in preparing the grounds, build- ing the road thereto and generally arrang- ing for the comfort and convenience of their guests. The site chosen is perhaps unexcelled in natural beauty anywhere, but is still in all its original mountain wildness, although completely surrounded by cultivated farms and orchards. It will Tequire some’ weeks to get it in fair slope, but families willing to rough it for a time may come right ulong. tis é;roposed to erect a suitable building and collect a good reference library for the use of those attending, but the lectures the first season wilt have to be given from a platform under canvas or with a covering of shade trees only, which it is_thought will be entirely acceptable in July and August. All property acquired will belong to the %rangp and be %.\eld in trust for %ha uses escribed. All the foregoing plans are settled and official. The actual scope and character of the educational work will of course be de- termined by the committee of the State Grange and the university authorities, but it will do no harm to indicate their. char- acter as conceived by Highland Grange. Their publication will at ieast be a. starting point upon which to build and improve. It is supposed that there will be one ex- ercise in agriculture and one in ecomomics each day for five days in the week, and an excursion to the sea, nine miles away, and a dl%lherein on Saturdays. The exercise will be a lecture by the professor. followed by a general discussion by those present, and these lectures will be of a character to give actual information, permitting all reasoning on theory—especially on contro- verted economic topics—to be developed in the discussion upon_the facts presented. This will be doubtless more ~necessary in economics than in agriculture, for nearly all farmers will accept unques- tioned the teaching of scientific men on fertilizers or insect life or plant growth, while very few are &urepned to accept the doctrines of anybody on currency or taxa- tion or transportation. Itis hoped to see in these economic studies an unbiased search for truth. e It is in the hope of bringing yearly to this beautiful spot a ody of earnest men and women, whether farmers or others, ‘who shall spend a part of their recreation season in the serious study of problems af- fecting our material welfare, that High- land ranr%e and community are making a great effort in these hard times. Those who may desire further informa- tion of the movement can obtain full par- ticulars by addressing Highland Grange, ‘Wrights, California. Ir will be gratifying to consumers to note that the quality of the baking powder most _generally in use in their Kkitchens, the oya:b is confirmed by the highest official authorities as altogether the pest of any in the market.
