In one ward of thirty there were only ten clean suits, so-the re- maining twenty patients had to wear the soiled suits or go without underclothing to_the wash and returned. This incident is but an illustration of the real state of affairs resulting from the extreme economy of the State Lu. nacy Commission, and the merchants of Stockton who have had dealings for many years with the asylum in a business way are familiar with the character of the complaints that have been lodged against the general management. One of these merchants, when interviewed, said that the manner in which the finances of the | institution are conducted by the State | Lunacy Commission can We inferred from the fact that goods delivered last Decem- ber have not yet been paid for.

In the meantime the patien are obliged to go without, and if the re- quisition is not allowed they go without the articles for good. As a general thing, | even when_the merchandise required Is | allowed at Sacramento, the amount is cut down about one-half. Only a few montk ago they wanted a_hammer at the asy- | lum, said this merchant, but the authori- ties did not dare to buy one.

During the d sion Pres- ident McK severtly criticized and held responsible for the “criminal aggression of the country.” everal of the delegates objected to the use of President McKinley's in the resolutions, on the ground that it was un- wise to insert personalities in a resolution of that najure. The resolution, when first presented, pla ponsibility for the war in the Philippines with the Repub- lican party, under the lead of President McKinley, but on motion of Moorfield Storey of Massachusetts the words ‘“‘the present administration” were substituted. In offering the amendment Mr. Storey said that the members of President Mc- Kinley’s Cabinet, who at heart w posed to the policy of imperialism, but who by their silence supported it, should be made to bear their share in_the respon- In answer to the objections of who favored striking out the name of Mr. McKinley, Frank Stephens of this city said “That murderer is theman who is chiefly to blame for the shame that rests upon this country, und his name should not be removed.’ Senator Hoar came in for some eriticism. Several of the delegates declared that lit- tle assistance could be expected from him owing to his stanch support of the Presi- dent. Mr. Storey of Massachusetts said that Mr. Hoar could make an excellent anti-imperijalistic speech, had done so and would do so again, but when the time came for voting he voted with the Presi- dent. “We want it to go out to the worid,” said Mr. Storey, ‘“‘that our anti-imperial-.| ism is not of that sort.” Herbert Welch, in discussing the resolu- tion, said He regarded the admisintration’s imperialistic policy as ““the breaking down aof the American Union.” A further resolution was adopted recit- ing the cable report from Manila that in- surgents were hereafter to be treated as bandits and executed. This action was compared with the policy of General Wey- ler in Cuba. A demand was made that Congress in- vestigate the report, and if it proves true take summary measures to prevent the action mentioned.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 23.— The convention of fruit growers which has been in session at Stanford Univer- labors to-day and adjourned to meet probably one year hence. So helpful were the lectures considered by those who at- tended that the university was asked by resolution to make the course an annual feature. As President Jordan had already | promised to do this if the result would | seem to justify it, the continuation of | the work by the university is practic assured. During the ses tendance has been all that could be ex- pected for the initial convention, while nearly 300 fruit growers attended one or more of the sessions. daddddadadaddddad s A2 dddd gl d it g A d il o d i dd s g i g d g Preservation of Forests.

Co-operation Necessary. Professor Frank A. Fetter of _the economics department opened the after- noon s by a practical talk on *“Co- operation. He entered into the disc ion from the farmers’ point of view and showed the advantages to be derived from co-operation, bringing out as well the dif- ficulties which such organization must al- ways expect to encounter and overcome 4 y would succeed. -operation,” he said, “is a voluntary joining of forces for business purposes. Practicaliy the many forms of co-opera- tion can be reduced under two heads, viz.: Co-operation of consumers and co-opera- tion of producers. Oftentimes consumers band together and start stores in order to eliminate the middleman. In doing this they have an advantage over the profe: sional merchant. Rent, lighting, adver- tising and clerk hire will be cheaper, as they need not employ strictly competitive method But there are many obstacles to the success of such organizations. Every member is a difficulty. The trouble of co-operati n is that the rate of mor- s great as that of natalit; re is a real need for the co- operative store. It costs too much to dis- tribute goods. The pr storekeeper has not a good case against the co- | operafive store, being on a plane of that of the workingman against labor-saving machinery. “The largest form of co-operation is that among producers. We find that the most successful result is among the simpler forms of production. Among | American farmers the commonest form is in dairying. “In co-operation there must be good business management, which must always be paid for. There must also be a co- operative spirit. When the farmers have combined to raise the prices of their products to the consumer they have gen- erally failed, because they are unable, like a trust, to Iimit the supply. . What they ought to do is to lower the price to con- sumers by eliminating the profits of the middlemen. If this can be done the ven- ture should be a success and the produc- ers should derive material benefit there- from.” Value of Bees. The last address before the gathering was delivered by Professor O. P. Jenkins upon ‘‘Bees and Bee Culture.” The lec- ture was illustrated by specimens of hives, other beekeepers’ suppiles and living bees and was of vital importance to those who have interests in that line. It was shown that the fruit grower was in a position to keep a few stands of bees for the sake of the profit to be derived from their product as well as the benefit which they were to the fruit-bearing trees. Memorial to Congress. W. R. Dudley at this morning’s session introduced the following memorial to Congress, which was signed by a large number of those present: We the fruit growers and land holders, in convention assembled at Stanford University, do hereby approve of the resolution now be- fore Congress leading to the purchase by the United States Government of the Calaveras and earnestly petition our Congress- wvor the same. Before the convention finally adjourned the following resolution was introduced and unanimously passed: Resolved, That we, as fruit growers and farmers, do hereby tender our sincere thanks for the interesting and helpful course of lec- tures which Stanford University has kindly given for our benefit, and we further request that a similar course of lectures be given from year to year.

TRANSPORT HANCOCK HERE —_— REMAINS OF HALF A THOU- SAND MEN ON BOARD. Tl DRattds Changes of Ship Captains—Sealing Schooners Did Well—Reinsur- ance Increased on the Over- due Fleet—Notes. et The transport Hancock arrived from Manila via Nagasaki yesterday, after a quick run of twenty-five days. She brought up ten cabin passengers and 100 discharged soldiérs. Two of the passen- gers died on the trip and their bodies were brought to San Francisco. In all the Hancock brought into port the remains of 506 soldiers. Very few of these died from wounds or were killed in battle, but nearly all succumbed to the terrible cli- mate. From now on every transport that comes into port will carry the remains of men who have died in the Philippines, but on every ship it will be found that where one man died in battle ten dled from dys- entery, typhold fever or malaria. Among the cabin passengers on the Hancock was John P. Dunning, for the murder of whose wife Mrs. Cordelia Bot- kin is now under sentence of imprison- ment for life. Dunning was very m'\xlousl to send a letter ashore, but as the vessel went into quarantine direct he failed to gain his point. It will be several days before the vessel is released, but the cabin passengers may be allowed to land to-day. The Orfental liner America Maru was released from quarantine yesterday and was docked at the Paclfic ‘wharft. She made the run from Honolulu in the fast time of 5 days 19 hours, but the chief engineer expects to beat that by two hours next lflg.l Neither the America Maru nor the Hancock saw anything of the transport Warren on their way here. The latter vessel has General Joe Wheeler aboard and is coming home by way of Guam and Hawail. a stay of several days was made at Guam to enable the general to see the island. At Honolulu she would probably have to coal, so that it will be some time next week before the Warren can be looked for, even though the Hancock did leave Manila six days after her. ‘There were quite a number of changes among shipmasters yesterday. Captain Hinkle takes command of the Orizaba, vice Captain Parsons, who remains ashore on sick leave. Captain Swanson takes command of the Senator, vice Captain Patterson, who goes to Puget Sound on business conected with the Pacific Coast Steamship Company. Captain Rasmus- sen takes command of the schooner Re- lance, vice Eapmln Johnson, who is go- ing to Cape Nome. .fnmes Binan, a sailor on the British ship Clan Graham, seems determined to end his life. Sunday night last he jumped overboard while drunk and was only sav- ed from dying by the unremitting atten- tion of the doctors at the Harbor Hospi- tal. Yesterday he got drunk again and once more jumped overboard. He was again taken to the Harbor Hospital, where his life was once more saved. As soon as he was able_to be moved Dinan was removed to the Marine Hospital. The sealing schooner Enterprise was spoken off the Farallones yesterday, with ins. Nearly all the vessels on the coast have done well so far and there is rejoicing in British Columbia in conse- quence. . The British ship Annle Thomas is now The chances are that | out.210 days from Cardift for Acapulco and yesterday the rate of reinsurance on her jumped from 40 to 50 per cent. The last time she was spoken was in latitude 57 south, longitude 70 west. On that occa- sion she had lost her foretopgallant mast and had evidently been in heavy weather. The tramp steamer Victorious that is | loading mules for Fijl at Fremont street wharf will probably not get away before Monda All the stalls are not completed and the shipping of the antmals cannot be completed. The transport Indiana began loading for Manila yesterday and will probably get away next week. She will be followed by the Thomas on March 1 and the Meade on March 15. WILL SPEAK TO WOMEN. Mrs. Robert J. Burdette to Be Ten-; dered a Reception. Mrs. Robert J. Burdette, wife of the | humorist, is at the Palace Hotel, where she arrived Thursday evening from her home in Pasadena. Mrs. Burdette is president of the State Federation of Women's Clubs and her presence in this city is for the purpose of attending various meetings of the dif- ferent local. clubs and particularly to at- | tend to work connected with the above- | named organization. Yesterday morning she had a conference at the Young Men's Christian Assocfation with Mrs. Louls Weinmann of the Laurel Hill Club, Mrs. Gleason of the Ebell So- ciety of Oakland and Mrs. Lovell White, | vice president at large of the federation. | Next Tuesday Mrs. Burdette will ad- dress the members of the California Club on a number of topics of interest to women | and on March 1 she will be the guest of honor at a reception given in the Ocei- dental Hotel by the State Federation at | which will appear all the women promi- | nent in the different great movements of | their sex who are now in the city. | Mrs. Burdette has not yet decided on | the length of time she will remain here | before returning to her home in the | south, but as theére is much that demands | her attention it is probable that she will not be able to wind up her different duties and get away much Inside of ten days or two weeks. ———— Helping the Cadets.
