Conflicting Reports as to the Reason fov
a Change in Her Plans.
VALLEJO,. Cal., April 3.— The Mon
terey arrived at the island this morning
and is alongside the quay wall. She will
take on coal and provisions. The general
belief is that her orders to proceed to Callao
have been .revoked. It appears from the
orders of the Naval Department that the
vessel can do better service on the home
Btation. The rumor that she will be
stationed at San Francisco cannot be
traced to a reliable source.
The Olympia's departure is merely for
practice and' she will return in a month.
Her destination is Santa .Barbara, where
she will remain until after La Fiesta week
at Los, Angeles and the flower fete at Santa
Barbara.
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 3.— The
United States steamer Monterey, which
was under orders to proceed from Mare
Island to Callao, Peru, has put back to
Mare Island from San Pablo Bay. It is
supposed that her steering gear has devel
oped some imperfections and that it was
deemed wise to correct these before leaving
home waters.
Chinese Fishermen Leave I'ortland.
PORTLAND, Ob., April 3.—The steamer
State of California, which sailed to-night,
carried 155 fishermen, mostly Chinese,
who will take passage for Alaska at San
Francisce.
The O. R. and N. Company will dispatch
the steamship Elder for San Francisco
next Saturday. She will be kept on the

DISMAY AT FRESNO.
Abolition of Duty on
Currants Alarms
Growers.
EFFECT ON RAISIN PRICES
Seedless Varieties of Grapes
May Have to Be Fed to
the Hogs. • !•■■
OPINIONS OF A PACKER.
He Thinks That the Chief Difficulty
Lies In Competition Among.
Producers.
FKESNO, Cat.;. Aprils.— The. news that
the duty on Zante currants, is abolished
created great dismay among raisin-growers
here. ■. .' ■ ■ . - .-" . ....
Before the law was passed prices had
fallen until the growers and packers were
heartily discouraged. It was found that in
very many cases the returns from consign
ments were not sufficient to. pay for the
picking and curing such of the raisins as
come into competition with the imported
currants. The raisins chiefly effected were
the seedless Sultanas, Thompson's seedless
and seedless Muscatels. While none of
these three Kinds are in reality currants,
yet they supplied the same demand, and
for a while they were the most profitable
grape to raise. .
After the price dropped there was little
encouragement to cultivate the vineyards,
but when a tariff was put on Zante cur
rants the raisin-growers were greatly
elated. It was thought that the law would
be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars
to the valley. As the price of Muscat
raisins was still low many acres of seedless
raisins were planted.
The seedless Muscatels are in reality the
small Muscats and are sorted from the
Muscats and sold separately. They must
still, therefore, be grown, even though
there is no profit in their production.
They form a large part of the total Muscat
crop, and growers express the opinion that
the price will be so low under the present
interpretation of the law that they will be
worthless for anything but feed for ho,»s.
Large raisin-producers have said that they
will not attempt to dispose of their seedless
stock in the Eastern market this year, but
will convert it into pork.
A different opinion from that generally
expressed was given this afternoon by one
of the largest packers in the county. He
considered that the real difficulty lay in
competition between the growers them
selves, arid that the market would not be
affected so greatly as is generally feared.

lieved that several important enterprises

SANTA CRUZ BOND SUIT.
The City Will Contest Pay
ment of a Recent Issue
of Collateral.
An Investigation Proving That East
ern Holders Are Not Inno
cent Purchasers.
SANTA CRUZ, Cal., April 3.— About a
year ago Coffin & Stanton of New York
came into possession of $300,000 worth of
refunding bonds of the city of Santa Cruz |
under an agreement with the city to sell
the bonds and with the proceeds take up
$360,000 worth of outstanding bonds, most
of which are held in San Francisco. In
stead, however, of carrying out their agree
ment, they converted the bonds to their
own use, selling and hypothecating them
in the Eastern States for whatever they
could get, and very shortly afterward went
into insolvency and failed for about
$4,000,000.
Charles M. Cassin, the present City At
torney for Santa Cruz, was sent East last
December to investigate the transaction,
and ascertained that many of the holders
of the refunding bonds obtained them
under circumstances which left no doubt
that they are not innocent holders, and
the city has determined to content the
payment of the whole issue, upon the
ground that the act of 1893, under which
they were issued, is unconstitutional, and
also upon several other grounds, and has
retained Hon. James G. Maguire of San
Francisco and the firm of Lindsay & Cas
sin of this city as its attorneys.
The suits which will follow will be of
great importance to the city of Panta
Cruz, and no doubt will be stubbornly con
tested in the courts.

Ah Action to Take the Property Out
of the Hands of the
Receiver.
RIVERSIDE, Cal., April 3.— The affairs
of the Riverside Water Company arJe in a
tan.gjed state.. Some weeks . ago a receiver
was appointed for the property and to-day
an important suit was filed against the
company,, in which A. S, White, J. F.
Houghton and A: Keith, trustees, ask that
all property of the company be turned over
to them under a trust deed, which covers
ail the property of the company.
The action Was brought under certain
trust deeds., which were executed by the
company to the trustees in 1885 as security
for the payment of the principal and inter
est of the first series of bonds of the com
pany, amounting to $200,000. As a fur
ther cause of action the second deed of
trust, which was executed in 1888. to se
cure the payment of the second series of
bonds, amounting to $150,000, is cited.
The second deed covers additional prop
erty not covered by the first trust- deed.
Of -the first series bonds $150,000 falls due
on July 1 next, and the people who are
stockholders in the company are deeply
interested in the outcome of the present
litigation.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 3.— Corporal
Lanier Cravens of the Seventh Cavalry,
Troop A, to-day left for Washington to
seek the reversal of an opinion rendered aft
Fort Sheridan, 111., against him. The case
is doubly iroerestine because of the pe
culiar point it involves and because of the
standing of Cravens. His father, Judge J.
E. Cravens, before his death two years ago,
was one of the oldest and ablest lawyers
in the Southwest. Young Cravens enlisted
at Fort Riley, Kans.
He is a graduate of Chester Military
Academy in Pennsylvania and was well
known here as a society man. He was
rapidly promoted and finally went before
the Board of Examination of enlisted men
at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, to try for
another promotion. Because of a slight
physical injury, received whil« on duty,
the board rejected him.

EFFECT ON ENGLAND.
The Firing by Spaniards
May Make a Com
mon Cause.
WAITING VERIFICATION.
If the Report Is True Satisfac
tion Will Be Demanded at
Once by Britain.
SIMILAR TO THE ALLIANCA.
The Claims of Right of Search In
Cuban Waters May Be
Denied to Spain.
WASHINGTON. D> C, April 3.— lt is
stated by officials that the reported firing
by a Spanish gunboat on the British ship
Ethelred, bound from Boston to Jamaica,
if confirmed, will give the United States
and Great Britain a common cause. in de
manding explanations and indemnities
from Spain.
Official confirmation of the indignity on
the Ethelred ha*s not been received here
either at the State Department or the Brit
ish embassy. It is said that the usual
course would be for the commander of the
steamer to report the facts to the London
Foreign Office. As he was. bound for
Jamaica he may first report to the Gover
nor-General of that British colony, who in
turn would present the case to the Foreign
Office.
Great Britain is quick to take cognizance
of any interference' with her merchant
marine, and it is not doubted that if the
facts are as reported the Foreign Office will
speedily ask of Spain first an explanation
and second compensation.
The r circumstances appear to be almost
identical with the firing on the Allianca.
It is not yet clear, however, whether the
Ethelred was on the high. seas or' was
within six miles of Cape Maysi, which is
the judisdictiorial limits claimed by Spain. !
In Mr. Gresham's demand on Spain he
took the advanced position that American
vessels on their routes could not be mo
lested even when within the jurisdiction
of Spanish waters. If Great Britain takes
a similar position as to her merchant ves
sels on their regular routes to Jamaica it ;
will go far toward the termination of
Spain's claims of the right of search and
seizure within Cuban waters.

as having sailed from a Central American

Cuba against the Government.
It is the general belief that he took pas

PROVIDENCE, R. 1., April 3. — The
election in Rhode Island for State officers
to-day was very quiet. Voting almost
everywhere favored the Republicans.
East Providence was an exception to the
general rule. There the license question
was a live issue, and created considerable
interest.
Twenty -one voting districts in Rhode
Island gave Tippett (R.) 3504, Littlefield
(D.) 1998, showing a Republican gain of
287 over last year's vote.
Charles Warren Lippett (R.) was elected'
Governor by 10,600 plurality. The re

that the combination would probably be
broken at that time. One of these manu
facturers stated that the chances against
the organization were ten to one. It is
said the formation of the combine had
advanced prices enough to put the glass

the larger concerns now want to operate
separately. The new. plate-glass trust is
to meet here Friday and complete the de
tails of the organization.

Springfield (Illinois) Postmaster's
Heavy Loss While Taking
Dinner.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., April 3. — The
postofh'ce here was robbed of about $10,000
worth of stamps and silverware to-day.
The robbery was committed about noon
while Postmaster Ridgely was at dinner
and was not discovered until 5 o'clock.
Access was gained to the vault by the
use of duplicate keys. The vault is located
in the postmaster's private office and the
combination is never turned. In order to
secure entrance to the vault two keys had
to be used, one to open the spring lock on
the door of the office and the other to the
inner door of the vault. Both of these
doors were locked when Mr. Ridgely re
turned after lunch.
Besides tfce stamps Mr. Ridgely had
stored in the vault were his daughter's
wedding presents, valued at $1000. The
stamps and silverware would make an
enormous package, and it is hard to con
ceive Of a method to take them from the
building in broad daylight without ob
servation. .
Jt was 5 o'clock when Assistant Murphy
had occasion to £0 to the vault for stamps.
He found the interior of the vault in wild
disorder and everything of value removed.
This was the irst intimation that the
place had been looted. There is no clew.

steamer of 5000 tons. It was bought in

SWIFT'S HEAVY VOTE.
Over Forty-One Thou
sand Plurality for
the Mayor.
BIG REPUBLICAN GAINS.
Race Prejudices Ignored by
Voters During the Ballots .
ing at the Polls.
MANY SURPRISED CANDIDATES.
.Ex'- Congressnrtan Frank Lawlor
Managed to Squeeze in asAlder
:•■ man by a Slight Margin.
CHICAGO, 111., Api-il 3.— Complete re
tijrns give George B; Swift for Mayor a
plurality of 41,110, the largest ever known
here in a similar contest. The civil service
law was carried by a majority of 45,570.
The other candidates on; the Republican
city ticket were all . elected, although
Trudei the Democratic candidate for City
Attorney, ran nearly 20,000 ahead of hi«
ticket. '.. .'.'/. ' . i
The Republicans also made a clean
sweep of the town offices— south, north and
west — and in the annexed districts, Hyde
Park and Lakeview, and in the town of
Lake, the stockyards district, one of the
supposed Democratic strongholds,. the Re
publican landslide was remarkable.
The election gives the Republicans com
plete control of. the City Council, which
will contain fifty Republicans and only
eighteen Democrats. Dr. Holmes, the
People's party candidate for Mayo^r, re
ceived 14,000 votes, less than half as many
as polled by the third party last fall.
The plan of the campaign of the Demo
cratic candidate for. Mayor, Frank Wenter,
was to cut. into the German Republican
vote, and on this' theory he. expected to be
elected. An examination .of the returns
shows he did get some German Republican
votes, but of the Irish Democratic votes
he lost more than enough to offset the
gains among the Germans. The Bo
hemians, Poles and Italians . apparently
deserted him. . •[■"; ! •.'•':•
Chairman Peabody of the Democratic
campaign committee said, "Instead of .
coming to. Wenter's support! think the
foreign-born citizens Want it understood
that they are Americans, andior that rea
son they rather resented the claims set up
as to their prejudices." : : .'••
Mayor-elect Swift said, "It is a source of
great satisfaction to know that the people
of Chicago have outgrown the campaign
of vilification and appeals to race preju
dice." ■ • ' . . •
Martin Madden (R.), vice-president of
the Western Stone Company, defeated.At
torney Frank Walker (D.) for Alderman in
the Silk-stocking Fourth Ward. Noble B,
Judah (R.) is another notable winner fora
seat in the City Council. "Hinkey Dinfc"
Kenna went down with the other Demo
crats,'his successful opponent being Pat
rick Gleason (R.). "Buck" McCarthy (R.)
won in the stockyard's district.
' It was the greatest surprise of the elec
tion. .About the oniy non-Rep"ublican
who squeezed in was ex-Congressman
Frank Lawler (I.), who, owing to a quarrel
between the Republican factions, captured
a seat as Alderman by an exceedingly nar^
row margin. • . • .
Mayor-electSwifthas decided to appoint
G. D. Wetherill City Controller, Mr. Wefh
