FRUIT GROWERS DECIDE TO FORM A NORTHERN CALIFORNIA EXCHANGE [ e o e SR SRS SRS e e aa +94—0—0—Q+0-.—0—¢, ACRAMENTO, May 24.—The State convention of frult growers closed its session to-night at the Assembly chamber, after having resolved upon forming a protect- ve organization, to be known as the Northern California Frult Growers’ Exchange. The organization will op- ite along the lines followed by the Southern California Fruit Exchange. Organization of the State convention vas effected this morning by the elec- tion of Russ D. Stephens of Sacra- mento as chairman and B. M. Lelong, .ecretary of the State Board of Horti- iiture, as secretary. There were in at- nce about 100 of the best known iists of California north of the hachapi. The session, which resulted to-night in such a definite determination to or- anize, opened inauspiclously this ng. When the long-looked-for etter from the Southern Pacific Com- vany was read, to most of the dele- ates the subject of refrigeration, of h it treated, was no more glacial n the tone of the communication. It was polite enough, but the politeness vas of the shivery sort, reminiscent of ndertaker in action, and the silence vhich followed its reading was pro- indly funereal. In effect it re- »ached the fruit growers for'not ap- ciating a good thing when it was red to them, and gave them slight agement in their present pur- pose to fight the refrigerator combina- Chairman Stephens informed the convention that he had written a let- er to Willlam Sproule, freight traffic manager 6f the Southern Pacific Com- pany, in which he asked these ques- Is the Southern Paclfic Company y_arrangements with the Express and the Conti- s trom permitting any cigerator cars enter- i competing for _ship- it, and, if not, will the to on r more Easter, h me facilities en- lines for getting ers of Califor- an independent car ganization for that outhern Pacific haul what terms and condi- d perfect will_th s, and ¢ the Southern Pacific supply u ent equipment of ven- com has not a suf- ventilator ent of cars to the owers, will it o cars for that purpose?

The Filipinos also desired information as.to the school system to be established, and approved of the American policy of the separation of | church and state. They chiefly objected to the scheme on the ground that it gave them per- sonal liberty, which they know they would have, but did not give them po- litical liberty. Finally the Filipinos sald they were personally pleased with the plan, but could not indorse it officially. ring the day the Filipino Commis- | upon General Otis, and | they will repeat their call to-morrow. There is much comment here on the outing tk Filipino envoys are enjoy- | ing. They arrayed in blue coats, scarlet tre T and gold lace, and drive about .the city, reveling in the | attentions bestowed on them, which is evidently exceedingly gratifying to them. They are the centers of contin- uel levees at Filipino houses, where they have been entertained and have had every opportunity to advance the interests of the insurrection. Military sentiment disapproves of the Filipinos being lionized by their ctvil- ian element. General Otis, from ante- bellum experience and knowing the Filipino’'s fondness for discussion, has maintained the attitude he assumed with the first Commission. He has had no offer to make the Filipinos | save that they lay down their arms‘ without terms. The army believes that | if we intend to remain in the Philip- pine Islands it will be cheaper in the long run to whip the Insurgents s thoroughly that they would be glad of | the opportunity to surrender, rather | than parley with them and make terms | which they would construe as a com- | promise. | The army is also of the opinion that I while the first course may cost more | men and more money in the begin- | ning than the latter, it will prove an’ effectual damper upon future insurrec- ions, whereas if the war is ended by | a compromise the professional revolu- | tionists among the Tagallos may be encouraged to try again in a few years. | Professor Schurman, speaking of the | commission’s policy, said: \ ‘I believe force was necessary be- ¢ they thought us weaklings and | but I believe also that con- ation should accompany force. My endeavor has been, ever since I came here, to exercise conciliation.” The professor is most optimistic as to the résults of the negotiations, and believes the scheme of government pro- posed by the United States Commission will ultimately be adopted. | Rosario, a Filipino congressman, a | wealthy resident of Manila and former- | 1y Aguinaldo’'s commissary-general, flc-l R B e R R S S a3 B S S S e R R S e e e RUSS D.

CINCINNATI, May 28.—More than 10,000 peo- ple crowded the Latonia course to-day to see the Derby run. The weather was delightful and the track in perfect shape. Prince Mc- Clurg, the favorite, won the big event without & struggle. Deering was second, one length in tront of Ways and Means, which was coupled in the betting with His Lordship as J. D. Smith’s entry. The time was 2:36%. The win- ner's share of the purse amounts to $6925. Wil- e Beauchamp rode Prince McClurg, but it re- quired no great effort on the boy's part to win. Prince McClurg was the best horse and was running easily when he crossed the wire. Starter Chinn had a hard time getting the fleld lined up and when the flag dropped it was to & fair start only. Leo Planter at once shot to the front and opened a gap of two lengths. His Lordship was second, a head In front of Eberhart. The latter moved up to the throat- latch of Leo Planter and the two raced like a team to within three-eighths of a mile from home, when they faltered and fell back beaten. Prince McClurg then showed in front and was on the bit the rest of the way. Deering, which had been lying far behind the fleld, came through with a wild burst of speed and beat the badly tiring Ways and Means for the place, Leo Planter was fourth, Eberhart a distant fitth and His Lordship was beaten off. Prince McClurg, the winner, is the property of W. E. Applegate, the bookmaker. Results: Six furlongs—John Bright won, Dr. bula second, Horace third. Time, 1: One mile, selling—Don Clarencio’ won, Croe- Nem- sus second, Lieuwanna third. Time, 1:41%. Five furlongs, 2-year-olds—Strathbroeck won, St. Ivor second, Jucoma third. Time, 1:02%.

Time, NEW YORK, May 23.—Frequent showers spolled the attendance at Morris Park to-day. , Tsabey sec- | The Pocantico handicap was the feature of the Gréebeideioedeisiehedeiedoetodoedeiedeve®, These cars were, as always before, placed at shippers’ disposal without charge, but the i{ssue proved that the expectaiion of handling the business in ventilated cars was not well founded, and they were not u but the business for which they were buflt moved instead in refrigerators For this company it was a costly experi- ment, made in sincere effort to meet the views of the fruft growers, under promise in convention that the cars would be used Our ventilated equipment so provided has consequently since been converted into boxcars, and there is no changed condi- tion with respect to transportation in ven- tilated cars that would warrant the car- riers in restoring at great expense equip- ment which has failed to stand the test of experience and been discarded by the growers and shippers. Continuing the letter of the freight traffic manager says that the present refrigerator system of transportation began in 1888; that at that time the charges for refrigeration were from $60 to $100 per car higher than now; that owing to reasons with which his com- pany was not concerned one refrigera- tor company after another dropped out; that last year three lines of refrigera- tor cars were provided, but out of some 4700 cars of fruit shipped all but a hundred or so were loaded in the cars of the Fruit Growers’ Express and Con- tinental Fruit Express. The letter further states that the centralization of fruit in these two refrigerator lines caused the railroad company to follow the lead of the shippers and engage from the Fruit Growers' Express and Continental Fruit Express all the re- frigerators needed for the traffic. The letter then directly answers the questions of Mr, Stephens in this wise: Our response to your first and second questions consequently is that we have contracted for all the refrigerator cars necessary for the deciduous fruit traffic. Were we to accept special lines of refrig- € in the endeavor to satisfy the va- and often conflicting intere of - promoting individual car lines we would have so many refrigerators on the line and under such variety of auspic that serious confusion would develop, to- gether with a multitude of cars for which there.would be no loads. L As to the remaining questions your let- ter recites, new ventilated cars d not be obtained at this late date, and we have companied by an insurgent captain, called upen Major General Otis to-day and announced that he desired to sur- render his person and property into the hands of the Americans. The surrender was arranged by Chaplain Plerce of the Fourteenth Reg- iment, who knew Rosario before the war. Rosario has been closely watch ed by the officials at Tarlac since the insurrection has been weakening, and only escaped by persuading General Luna to send him on a secret mission to Manila for the purpose of collecting funds. With the captain are ten men and thelr families. Rosario traveled at night through the swamps and moun- tains, passed the lines of both armies | and entered Manila last evening. He has been liberated on parole. According to_the story told by Ro sario, General Luna is absolute dicta tor and Aguinaldo fears him. Every Filipino leader, it is added, suspects the others of treachery. The recent meeting of the Filipino congress was to secure a new cabinet. and the question of peace was not for- mally considered, as the members fear- ed General Luna's displeasure. The Filipino government was unable to se- cure a Secretary of the Treasury. All those who were offered the portfolio declined to accept it. MEN KILLED SINCE THE WAR BEGAN NEW YORK, May 23—A Washington special to the Herald says: Adjutant Gen- eral Corbin has fr:pared this statement of the number of deaths which have oc- curred in the army since the beginning of the war with Spain: In Cuba, 1399; in Porto Rico, 257; at Ho- nolulu, in the Philippines, 606; in the United States, 3872; total, 6209. - BRUTAL TREATMENT OF THE YORKTOWN'S MEN NEW YORK, May 24.—The Manila cor- respondent of the Journal cables an in- teresting interview with General Lawton regarding the campaign. General Lawton gives the first information about the shocking manner in which the men from the Yorktown have been treated by their Filipino captors. He found melancholy evidences, when he captured San Isidro, that the American prisoners had been cruelly abused and subjected to outra- geous indignities at the hands of Aguin- aldo’s barbarous soldiers. After thirty days’ successful campaign- ing Lawton is resting with 6000 men at Candaba. He sald in describing his vic- | torious march of a’ month's duration: “It pained me when we got into San Isidro to see on the walls of the prison there the names of the fifteen Americans 1 the Yorktown. . rom Colonel Ray, the Spanish officer whom we rescued, I learned that one of the American prisoners.escaped from his captore. His freedom was short-lived, for was afterward recaptured. He was stretched on the ground before his fellow risoners and twenty lashes were given m “We found a letter near San Isidro, written by one of the Yorktown's crew, CECHCECEOROECECECECRCECECECRONCHECECEONONONS BORORCECEORCNOROROBORONOR | | | | | none of the ventilated fruit cars for- merly in the service, except such as is ne ry for our strietly local business, We cannot take them out of the local and put them into the through traffic, because in the through traffic they would make two, possibly three, trips-in the season, whereas in the local traffic they make | many trips and are used continuously. The letter closed with deprecatory reference to the present agitation, the freight manager appearing to believe that such a movement would hurt the fruit season which, he said, promised such rich returns. It was not long after the correspond- ence had been made public that the fruit growers renewed their resolution to go ahead and organize, whether the prospect as regarded the railroad’s at- titude was hopeful or not. Edward Berwick of Monterey urged the grow- ers to can and dry their fruit and ship none at all until conditions were changed. H. L. Gibbs a fruit shipper from Stockton, who said he was a for- mer employe of the Earl Fruit Com- pany, asserted that a conspiracy was | on foot by that and other companies to ruin the growers. J. N. Barton of Loomis said if the growers would or- ganize this year they would be free from slavery next year. . R. Sprague, president of the Southern California Deciduous Fruit Exchange, declared that the railroad was just as willing to deal with the growers as it wae with Po“ter and Earl provided the growers were organized on business principles. He urged the | grow rs of the north to organize along the same lines as the exchane~ of which he was the head. ists spoke in the same strain and a number of letters were read from growers unable to be present. in which they urged thorough organization. When the report of the committee favoring organization was presented there was much enthusiasm. and in a few minutes $300 was raised with which to carry on the preliminaries. To-night the convention adjourned after discussing details and directing that the work of incorporating the Northern California Fruit Exchange be proceeded with at once. Other orchard- aying that they were being kicked, their hair pulled out and that they were cruelly treated in various other ways, and pray- | ing their fellow countrymen to hurry to their release. “The insurgents make a practice of murdering Chinese who fall into neir hands, and our men, I suppose, should consider themselves fortunate they have not been similarly treated, though the cruelties and indignities heaped upon them must be hard to bear." TWO OFFICERS SLATED FOR PROMOTION WASHINGTON, May 23.—General Otis cables as follows: MANILA, May 23.—Adjutant General, Wash- ington: On urgent recommendation of Lawton I recommend Colonel Owen Summers to be brigadier general of volunteers by brevet for ous gallantry at Maasan, Bulac bridge an Isidro; Captain J, S.

Field, '9, of “Mrs. Stan- ford,” and President jordan of ““The New uildings.” BDr. Jg:dan spoke of the changes which were taking place about the university and of the %Ianl which were being con- sidered for the future. By the recent sale of property Mrs. Stanford had been able to put a large amount of money into the unjversity, as_was shown by the new buildings now being erected. The assem- bly hall had been accepted and the li- brary, the gift of Thomas Welton Stan- ford, was well under way. A change would be made in the buildings, however, in regard to rooflngA The present roofing, which was a tin imitation of tiling, would be replaced, he said, by the genuine article, which was used in all other university buildings. The memorial arch, which was being erected, would join the assembly hall. To the east of the new library building would be con- structed for the use of the history, eceon- omics and English departments. Mrs. Stanford had made every effort to .obtain lans for the new chapel, which will make t the most 1m{losm§ of any college structure in the United States. Long _rows: of Japanese lanterns were suspended from the arcades of the quad to-night. The shrubbery and flower beds were brilliantly lighted and the moon hung on the edge of dark clouds, which swept slowly across the sky. The scene -was one of beauty. It.was the night of the senior promenade. In the center of the quad, on a stand bullt for the occa- sion, Bennet's band from the city dis- coursed sweet music. Every conceivable nook was partitioned off and formed into booths by the young ladies, who there re- celved their friends and served them with Tefreshments as they lounged about on the divans.

Ex- plaining the illustration the Marseillaise | |8 | says: ! { “In a country like America, where one is accustomed to find only progress and | new discoveries, one is very much sur- rised to see a turn backward like pun- shment by the whip. This retrograde movement is performed in the State of Virginia, in which the Legislative Assem- bly has voted a law permitting the ap- plioation of corporal chastisement in pub- c. “The first person upon whom this pun- | ishment has been inflicted is a young girl of 18 years of age, who was whipped the piiblic square of Manasas. ““If one did not notice the modern dress | of the crowd which was present at the scene, in the presence of the Sheriff and repregentatives of the public force, he | would have thought himself in the mid- | dle ages on seeing the unhappy girl, naked | to the waist, both hands held in a piece | of plank, while the executor of the law | acquitted himself conscientiously of his mission.” It is only necessary to say that pun- ishment by flogging is not authorized by the laws of Virginia, and that the | | illustration is purely imaginary.

Wholesale Only SAN QUENTIN PRISON, May 23.—The prison officials are sorely perplexed over Mose Vasques, who expired in his cell just the prison physician reached the bed- side. Vasques for the past week has been | at work with the road gang employed in the building of the Tiburon boulevard. Yesterday afternoon, while unloading gravel from a construction car, he lost | consciousness and fell to the ground. He was picked up and carried to the shade | of a tree, where he immediately revived. He resumed work and nothing was thought of the ircident. | Vasques returned to the prison in ap- | parently good health. He was locked up | with the other prisoners as usual and is not known to have complained of feeling ill. This morning as the cooks and din- ing room men were released from their cells groans were heard from Vasques’ {cell. A rap at the door brought no re- | sponse, and Dr. Lawlor, the prison phy- sician, was summoned. When Lawlor reached the prisoner's bedside Vasques was found to be dying and he expired a ew moments later. The Coroner held an inquest this morning. The jury re- | turned a verdict of death from natural causes. Vasques has spent much’ of his time in the hospital since his incarceration, being treated for a pulmonary complaint. The | Vasques family is notorious in the crim- inal annals of this State. At (Shvre were the father and three sons at an Quentin. The father, Mates Vas- died in the penitentiary o The fam- in the southern part of the State, where its name was a terror to stage drivers and travelers. “SPIKE” SULLIVAN LOSES.
