CAPRIVI CHANGED HIS MIND.
The Emperor induces His Chancellor
to Retain His Office.
■ TO* ZEDLITZS RESIGXATM ACCEPTED.
Tie Presidency of the Prussian Connril flay Be
Given l T p by Caprfvi— Effect of the
Cabinet Changes.
Special to The Mobsi.no O\r,r»
Berlin. March 21.— Chancellor Caprivi,
who yesterday was summoned by Emperor
William to a conference at Bnbertusstock,
returned to Berlin last night. Ho waited
upon Dr. yon Boetticber, Vice-President of
the Prussian Council of Ministers, and con
ferred with him or. the Ministerial crisis.
Nothing definite is known in regard to the
Ministry, except that the Emperor has ac
cepted the resignation of Count yon Zedlitz.
The Kreuz Zeitung says Caprivi's pro
longed retention cf of&ce is impossible.
Once the crisis is over be must resign, as he
Las lost the confidence of the Parliament.
At a late hour this evening further in
quiries in official quarters as to the rumor
that Caprivi had resigned elicited the re
sponse that the newspapers indulging in
such a surmise had not the slightest sup
port of any well-informed authority.
( HANGED HIS KIND.
The Emperor Induced II s Chancellor to
Withdraw' Ills K^signation.
New York, March 21.— The Post's Berlin
special asserts positively that Caprivi has
withdrawn his resignation as Chancellor at
the command of the Emperor, after the in
terview yesterday. The Chancellor is reti
cent about the details of the Interview. lie
went to Hubertasstock Sunday with the
determination to insist cm his resignation
being accepted, but the Enrperor, in a per
sonal appeal, modified his indignation and
brought about a reconciliation. This ap
peal is said to have been based in the con
dition of the Kaiser's health and the fact
that he is in no state to fa<-p the, strain a
change would involve. The Kaiser is said
to have explained that his abruptness in the
Cabinet meeting was owing to bis stat<> of
health nnd was not prompted by any desire
to humiliate Caprivi. So much is derived
from semi-official sources regarding the in
terview.
The fact that the Chancellor has con
sented to swallow his anger under circum
stances that cannot fail to be most embar
rassing, has strengthened the reports
regarding the health of the Kaiser. It is
current talk t< -<] y among the members,
both of the Reichstag and the Landtag, that
nothiug but the alarming state of the
Kaiser's health would have led the Chan
cellor to take this step.
Office of Prussian Premier.
The condition of theKai?er i- much more
serious than has bten supposed. It is
rumored that if the truth was known the
Kaiser would be obliged to retire and give
way to Prince Henry as Regent, and the
Kaiser's only cbacce for recovery is abso
lute fneJom from political anxieties. With
Chancel Caprivi in offi c such freed* is
possible, for Caprivi is acquainted with the
policy so inrpose of the Kaiser, and will
not be likely to make any mistake, but
while consenting to remain as Chancellor,
Caprivi in *■ sted upon the Kaiser accepting
bisSresitniatioD of the office of Prussian
Premier. lie pointed out thru he would
be the laughing-stock in the Land tap,
that hi? influence there was irredeemably
damaged and he could not for a moment
think of retracting his utterances on the
subject of education, a position into which
he has been led by a desire to serve the
views anil carry out the policy of his sov
ereign. The Kaiser was obliged, therefore,
in ordtr to keep Caprivi in the bigger ( See,
to a< cept his resignation in the smaller.
This will, in name at least, divorce Caprivi
entirely from Prussian affairs and relieve
him from his obligation of appearing in the
Landtag.

ON THE RIVIERA.
Arrival of Queen Victoria in the South
of France.
London, March 21.— The Queen Is anxious
for a marriage to take place between Prince
George of Wales and Princess A ix of
Hesse. This alliance would give much sat
isfaction to the Prince and Princess of
Wales. Princess Alix is coming to England
eailyin May on a long visit to the Queen,
with whom she will reside several months
at Windsor Cattle, Balmoral and O-borne.
Princess Alix was born in 1872. Three years
ago there was a great deal of talk about
her marrying the Czirowitz, while subse
quently it was reported that she would be
betrothed to the late Duke of Clarence.
The Queen, on bearing of the death of the
Grand Duke of Hesse, would have aban
doned her trip to the Continent, and would
haw passed the next six weeks at Osbome,
if all the arrangements For her visit to
liyeres had not been completed. It ia just
as well that there has been no change in
the court plan;, for the Queen has bxen
much out of spirits since her return* to
Windsor, an.l she is looking far from well
She evidently requires a thorough change
of scene and surroundings.
The Queen is expected to return to Eng
land from Uveie.-. travelling by way of
Cherbourg and Portsmouth, on or about
April 23, and sl.e will then make Windsor
her headquarters for a month before pro
ceuding to Balmoral. The Queen's car
riagei?, horses, garden chair and donk«y«>fur
mi;;.'. Dlate, books and other paraphernalia
arrived at the H.«»t«l Costa Belle early last
week, and also the first detachment of ser
vants. The Coste Belle is overlooked by
the Albion and it?, terrace, and elaborate
arrangement* have been made in order to
prevent the Queen from becoming the vic
tim of the curiosity of the visitors to that
establishment.
The Guelph Legacy.
It was announced last week that the dis
covery had just been made that King
George of Hanover hau bequeathed a legacy
amounting in the aggregate to £900.0j0 to
tin- Queen aud her daughters, which if, to
t>e paid out of the Guelpu fund, and it has
been slated that the Queen, Empress Fred
erick. Princ ss Christian, Princess Louise,
Princess Beatrice and lit- children of the,
Grand Duchess Alice of Hesse will bow re
ceive the sums to which they are entitled.
There i* no truth in this story, aod if any
such legacies had been bequeathed by Kiug
George the fact would bave been made
known when his will was opened iv
June, 1878.
Emperor William is acting not only with
strict justice, but with generosity in the
pecuniary settlement with the Duke of Cum
berland, which is now in process of arrange
ment The Emperor knows that he is pro
ceeding in accordance with the earnest
wishes of Emperors William J and Frederick,
and it may be possible that Ii is zeal may Ims
stimulated by the fact that Bismarck, who
hates the Goelpbs as heartily as Lord Pa -
uierston detested the Bourbons, was always
furiously opposed to any compromise with
the Duke of Cumberland, who on hi- part
was linn in resist! n » trie efforts of the Queen,
the Emperor of Russia and the King of
Denmark to induce liim to make a sur
render to the Prussian Government.

PACIFIC COAST INTERESTS.
Only One California Congressman Votes on
an Anti-Railroad Amendment
Washington, March 21.— There was an
interesting debate in the House to-day dur
ing the consideration of the army appropri
ations bill. In the bill as reported was a
proviso that no money should be paid the
Southern Pacific Railroad for transporting
United States troops or supplies over non
aided roads belonging to that corporation.
Grain of Texas mii!e a point of order
against this proviso and was sustained by
the Speaker, the principal ground being
that the proviso made a permanent law,
while the House should not seek to restrict
the appropriations of Congress in the future.
Geary of California asked if it was not true
that the railroad had stated its inability to
pay the debt it owed the United State*.
Grain replied that such a question was
not pertinent at this time.
Outhwaite of Ohio then offered an amend
ment making the same proviso as above,
but applicable to the present bin only. The
question was put and Geary was the only
one of the California delegation who voted
for the amendment. The other five Cali
fornia^ remained in their scats when their
names were called.

which certain Aldermen visited while under

AX AI.M.KMAN's STATEMENT.
Alderman Roth to-night made public ofli
ciaily for the first time the part be has taken
in the boodle transactions, lie says lie had
not been louc in fie council until lie found
that ordinances were not always passed on
their merits. At the time of the passage of
tiio economic ordinance over the Mayor's
veto, It Was found by the boodlers that it
would be necessary to bring into line some
Alderman wnose vote was origins against
it. He (Roth) was spoken to l>\ one of the
O'Brfeos,wbOßaid he could receive a consid
eration f«>r bis rote. Knowing the Daily
News an l other papers bad taken a vigorous
public >t.!iid against boodling, and th it they
would Ihj friendly to any exposure, and*
the further view of bringing the corruption':
ists to justice, lie (liotli) called on the
Daily News. The matter was care
fully talked over and arrangements made
tor receiving the money promised ju snc'i
away that witnesses couie: testify to the
visit of the man who paid it. Roth says
8750 was paid him 1:1 his i IHee, and he nn
ir.ed.ately showed it to his bookkeeper, ex
plaining the nature of the ease, and imme
di itely .'iftt-r lie took the money to the Daily
News office, and In the presence of wit
ness* - deposited it In Hie safe la a sealed
envelope. Two weeks later the Northern
Pacific ordinance passed tho Council the
second time. A certain Alderman from the
uths de informed Ruth the day after that
Billy O'Brien had the money, and that ho
w is to meet Billy at the Sherman House
that afternoon. Roth immediately com
municated the fact to the Diily News, and
the Si eriuan House was watcne>l. That after
no. d liii.v O'BrifO met Roth in the City Hall,
and Itanded him an envelope with the word
"Roth" written on the outside, of it. Ruth
went ever to the office of linker, attorney
for the Tribune, and telophoned for .repre
sentatives of other papers. The envelope
was ope e>i in tlieir i>ro->enc« and found to
contain two $500 bills, which were again
sealed up and seed with the other money.
Roth says lie took no money at any time
for any other purpose than with an idea of
exposing the rorruptioiiists, and has profited
in no other way than in tlte> feeling of sat
isfaction that (lows a duty well per
formed.
Not one of the indicted Aldermen would
talk tins evening further than to profess
their ability to prove their entire inno
cence.

Ruinous Speculation of Trusted Cbrks With
Their Employers' Money.
Chicago, March 21.— Lumson Bros., a
bie Board <if Trade firm, are reported to
haru lost from $40,000 to SGO.Ouo through
the peculations of Bert Smith and Bob
Whi taker, clerk*, who bought ■ large
amount of heat and charged it to the firm,
the loss ruing through a fall in the price.
They are under surveillance.
The two young men, it is asserted, began
by making phenomenal profit on the big
rise In wheat to SI 18 in Aucu»t last, win
ning 13*2,000 on |50 of their own money,
which they had luckily placed. This sum
they divided, reserving half for future
operation* on the board arid spending the
other half In riotous living. The S 10,000
capital was wholly wiped out in the lung
decline which set in, and the two daring
scalpers, hoping for a turn, resorted to
frauds against their employers, Into which
they were daily obliged to i<luni:e
deeper. The deal which finally swr.mped
them was the purchase of 300,000
bushels of wheat at '.'.") cents. To-day the
market .touched 83% RSmith was cashier
and Whittaker had charge of the accounts
of the customers of the firm. Both young
men enjoyed the full confidence of their
employer.*, and wore thus enabled with
greater facility to use their employers'
money to speculate. Am one of the clerks
of the firm said to-day: " They have been
thorough-going sports since they began
operations on their own account with their
employers' money, and it was nothing -M ;i!l
for them to change, their clothes three times
a day, donning a stylish suit each time."

FOURTEEN ROUNDS.

Eight hundred people saw Billy Smith of
Boston whip Bill) Armstrong of this city
in fourteen rounds at the Occidental Ath
letic Club last evening. Tho fighters
weighed at 11, rlngtHf. and both scaled
under 138 pounds.
Smith was a strong favorite in the bet
ting. Ho bold at $10 against $7 on Arm
strung.
Tin; contest was begun nt 9. -.10 o'clock,
and feree Half-, who coughed from in
haling the fumes of tobacco, asked the
crowd to please stop im km/.
The first round was comparatively tamp.
The men fiddled for an opening, and a few
seconds before the gong sounded Arm
strong made a wicked lunge at Smith, which
the latter ducked nicely, and caught Arm
strong on his shoulder os ho came, up
against t lie rope?.
The second round was a surprise to Arm
strong and the gents who held the official
clucks. Smith did not delay a moment
after the call for business. He rushed and
met Armstrong a few feet from the latter's
comer. After a short rally at close range,
which Smith had all the better of, be caught
Armstrong a still left on the Jaw, which
was immediately followed by a light on the
same point, ai.d down went Armstrong, not
knocked out but pretty badly dazed. Be
looked up beseechingly at bis opponent,
who stood over him ready to administer the
coup do grace when tho downed fighter
would again scramble lo his pins.
During the excitement attending tho
knockdown the gentlemen who held stop
watch** lost theli thinking-caps and Man
ager "Young" Mitchell pulled threw while
hairs— which were of fi stantaneous trans
formation—from hisuompadourwhilo shout-
Ing at the torpid timekeepers to call off the
seconds.
Armstrong must h;ive hupgnl the floor at
least twelvo seconds before he regained liiu
pins.
Uhni the fallen had aiisen in alibis
mightiness be was tent oa all fours again
by a punch on the neck, and remained down
nine and a half second*. 110 had not more
than assumed an erect portion when the
go ig eaSM to his very UoMly assistance, and
Murphy hauled him to his chair in a very
exhausted condition.
Smith surprised his friend* in the third
round by standing off Inituail of forcing
the game, as he certainly proved to be the
better man at short-arm lighting. Arin
stronjj Ht>.od iff and atlongrange.hu plauted
sou.c ugly left-haii.iers on Smith's neck and
side f»ee. '1 ho latter bled Armstrong's lips
with a stinging left-hander, which the San
Prandeesn did not uy any means relish.
'I'here were several clinciies, and nearing
the end of the round Armstrong planted his
left three or four times witli telliDg effect on
Mnith's face.
From this until tho ninth round the fight
ing was done principally at lons range, at
which game Armstrong proved to bo (he
better man. In a hot rally .smith got a bad
cut over the left eye. the optic having come
in contact with the heel of Armstrong's
glove.
In the tenth Smith brought a fresh flow of
claret from his opponent's m*« and lips
and in return he stopned a beautiful brace
of straight lefts vtilh his stomach which
was left unguarded.
During the thirteenth round Armstrong
caught a La Blanche swum which was well
delivered, on the neck, and as he staggered
bark .Smith caught him a right on the jaw—
a little high— and Armstrong dropped to th«

SALISBURY`S LATEST MOVE.
A Notification That lie Is Preparing
an Offirial Reply.
ADVERSE TO IDE dm STATES.
Claims for Damages for Seizing Canadian Poach
ers—President Harrison's Polity Appro*
by Leading Senators.
special to The Morn- m o Calx.
Washington-, March 21.— 1t was cur
rently reported in official circles to-day that
the Stele Department had received a dis
patch from Lord Salisbuiy in reply to the
note of President Harrison of the Bth inst.
There is some ground for believing that the
reply contains an offer on the part of the
: British Premier to consent to a compromise
which will, in effect, embrace a modus
Vivendi differing but slightly from that
ncreed to a year ago and enforced during
the past season. Tub exact nature of the
reply U known to nobody in Washington
except the President, the British Minister
and a very few officials of the Department
of State. Even the Republican members of
the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
and the House Committee of foreign Af
j fairs, who are usually informed promptly of
any new phase la the negotiations, are iv
ignorance of the contents. The conclusion
drawn oy some from this omission ob the
part of tho administration to itifurm them
hdom the subject is that fie Uut<* is not con
clusive as to the main point of the con
troversy, namely, the exieut of protect. on
; to be afforded seal life in the Bering Sea.
Working; for Delay.
It i 3 believed that if Salisbury has ac
inded to the request of the President for a
renewal of the modus Vivendi, ttie fact
would have been immediately communi
cated to the Senate. The belief of the
Senators is that he made the note a vehicle
fur the extension of his argument for the
thirty-mile limit of protected area proposed
by him, which he cl.iiins was amply suffi
cient to meet all the necessities of the case.
One Senator declared emphatically, "It is
only play for time on the part of the British
Government." His theory to that that Go
ernment will ultimately consent to a re
newal of the modus vivendi, but will delay
so long as the agreement can be made in- ]
effective through the departure for the seal
grounds of large numbers of Canadian seal
ing vessel*.
This view finds many adherents unions
the Senators, and it can be asserted safely
that if this policy should become clearly
defined the Senate will be a unit in sup
porting the administration in the most
energetic efforts to enforce the laws on the
statute-hooks relative to the protection of
the rights of the United States in Beriug iiea.
Another report was in circulation to-night
to the effect that the communication was
merely ■ short dispatch «tatirm that ■
proper reply to acting Secretory vTiiatiaa'4
Dote of the Bth inst. is bring prepared aud in
nearly ready, and it will bo adverse, to the
request for a modus Vivendi. According to
the same report, thceommunic<ttion further
says, in effect, the British Government will
not interfere with the policing of Bering
S»a by the United States vessels pending
lie negotiations for a settlement of the.
question at i?sne by arbitration, though it
may hereafter ask for damages in behalf of
Mich Canadian- soalers as may suffer by
seizure or interference by American vessels.
Suppressing t!»«< I'oachcrg.
Another rumor, that lias many believers,
is that Lord Salisbury lias answered the
-President's note, insisting on the, necessity
of a modus vlvondl with the counter propo
sition that in case one is agreed upon the
United States agree to indemnify the Cana
dian vtjsael ewners f<T the lom*s incurred
thereby. The United Stales has already
rejected a proposition of this kind.
General Foster, representing the State De
partment la this matter, bad two interviews
with the President on tlio subject to-day,
and the Impression is general that they con
sidered the character of the reply to be
made to Salisbury. It is pretty well estab
lished that the President Is not disposed to
recede from the position he has already as
sumed in regard to the preservation of the
seal?, and will t;ike steps to secure that end
with or without the co-operation of the Brit
ish Government.
The officials of the Treasury Department
are waiting with some Impatience the deter
mination of the matter, as the entire Bed of
revenue cutters Is ready to tail for Bering
bee, but cannot leave owing to the tact thai
sailing Instructions have not yet been for
mulated.

It v likely that i» radical reform in the
matter of the privilege* afforded members
in printing their, undelivered speeches in
the Record will restrit from the investiga
tion into the rase of Mr. YValkci of Massa
chusetts. Kv«r since the session opened
there has been a warm political rivalry be
twr-en the Republican and Democratic Kep
restntatives from the Bny btate, and Walker
lißs had several lively bouts with Hoar and
Williams whom he takes ideasure m desig
nating alternately as "Mugwumps" and
"Kindergarten Democrats." The interjec
tion into the printed report of his speecii of
aome head lines about "lln{ Shot for Mug
wumps," eto., caused Mr. Williams to rise
to r question of per*oual privelesie last
week, and the Committee on Printing to-day
submitted a report on the matter, accom
panied by a resolution declaring that the
Ili'U^e expresses its disapproval of the un
parliamentary language used by Walker iv
that portion of his speecii that was printed,
although not delivered on the floor, and that
the whole of the undelivered portion of the
speech be expunged from the Record. The
report will b« considered to-mmrow.
Enloo of Tennessee offered a resolution
calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury

RIVERS AND HARBORS.
Amounts Agreed Upon for Pacific Coast
and Other Improvements.
Washington, Jrarcli 21.— The House
Committee on Rivers and Harbors Unlay
completed the consideration of the regular
river and harbor appropriation bill. It ap
propriates $20, 700,000, nearly (4,000.000 less
than the amount of tne bill which became a
law in the last Congress. The greatest
feature is the extent to which the committee
enlarges the policy adopted in the last Con
gress of placing some of the most important
projects under the contract system, by
means of which work can be undertaken
with the amount appropriated for the year
covered by the bill and contracts entered
into for the completion of the work and of
it? continuance without serious interrup
tion, as has sometimes unpptneil when the
continuance of the work was entirely <!••
pendent on the river and harbor appropria
tions of each Congress. This year th«
committee authorize* additional contracts
entered into aggregating 832.151,000.
Of this amount the Mississippi River gets
$16,000,00*), the great lakes £3,330,000,
Columbia River, Orejion, 51.7G0.000, the
llmi-w.li River, New fork, ?2,446,C0y, and
the remainder goes to some of the Atlantic
coast <■:■:.-. Of the Mississippi appropria
tion, £700,000 is to be expended from the
mouth of the Ohio to the mouth of the Mis
souri, and $300,000 from the mouth of th**
Missouri t . St. Paul. The remainder is Inr
the river south of the Ohio. In the great
lakes, project, £400.000 is appropriated f or a
ship channel 20 to 21 teet deep and 300 feet
wide in -the shallows of the connecting
waters between the great lakes.
In the cases of tho several improvements
put under the COB trad system, the bill pro
vides that the Secretary of War may enter
into contracts to complete the present
projected improvements, to be paid for as
the appropriations may be made, the aggre
gate cost not to exceed the cost heretofore
named as the limit of the cost ef the com
pletion of the improvements. For these
projects there Is directly appropriated In

above $10,000 are the following: CaJilor
nia—llumboldt harbor and bay $200,000,
Oakland 3150,000, Wilmington £20.000, San
Diego SS),OOQi ban Luis Ouispo (30,000.
The committee did not make any provi
sion for restraining works for the debris
in the Sacramento or San Joaqoln rivers.
Representative Camlnotti says lie was
promised that (8000 would be used for
restriction works above Marysville, but the
committee, accord to Mr. Hermann,
thought that ail that could be undertaken
at this time would be the removing of the
obstructions in the river-. The $200,000
appropriated for llumboldt harbor will be
used for the completion ot the work.
New projects will not be undertaken. The
amount appropriated for Humboldt Mr.
Hermann considered very liberal. He said
that Representative Caminettl had com
plained to the River and Harbor Committee
that heretofore it bad discriminated in favor
of Oakland harbor. The money fox San

A PROSPECTIVE CHANGE.
Kum.irt'il Kf I lrcmcut of the Mhii iger of
th«> I.: i \\ »• i y Syndicate.
Robert Milburn, the president of the San
Francisco Breweries, Limited, was busily
engaged yesterday at the oflice of the com
pauy, conducting an examination into its
affairs in company with the manager. It
will lake several days' work to thoroughly
review the business operations of ihe con
cern and inspect the diverso interests loca
ttd in the local breweries. Until this task
is completed Mr. Milburn will reserve a
declaration of his intentions.
The president stated that he intended to
make no radical changes in the management
unless there should appear Rood reason for
such a stop. It is freely said, however, and
generally believed, that C. H. Stone, the
present manager, will be retired and that
his successor has nlready loon selected.
Mr. Stone took charge ol the consolidated
Interests upon tl.e retirement of Colonel
K. A. Denicke, the former manager, last
October. Stone- had been a member of the
local directoiate, composed of San Fran
cisco business men, owning no sto k in the
syndicate, but receiving a salary to exercise
a supervisor.^ direction ol its affairs. Jle
had no knowledge of the brewing industry,
any many local beer-manufacturers prophe
sied at the time of his appointment that the
management of the business would prove
greater than his capability. It is said that
his administration his neither reduced the
expenses of the syndicate nor increased its
profits, and that he will be' succeeded as
manager by a practical brewer.
FINN STEALS A MARCH.

Manager Finn yesterday signed Jerry
Denny to play third base, Ebrijzht playing
second in place ot linn ley. There had
been a great deal of bidding for Denny's
services between Kobinson and Finn, but
trie latter slipped tip from San Jose yester
day and sigutd him.
Denny is a native California player, but
has not appeared here since the winter of
ISSS. His addition will strengthen the 8M

been considered the premier third base in the

OVERLAND RATES ON FRUIT.
Meeting of the Transcontinental Freight
Association at San Diego.
APPEAL FOR RAILROAD CONCESSIONS.
ffccesity for Fast Service and Reduced Charges.
An Important Industry Crippled by Ship
ping Expenses.
Special to The Morning Cai.c
Sax Diego, March 21.— Transconti
nental Freight Association convened at
Hotel del Corcnado this morning, but the
session being purely executive the public
was not admitted, and no information
as to the nature of the proceed
ings was given out. In the after
noon, however, E. L. Goodsell. a well-known
New York and London dealer in California
fruit, who has been spending the winter in
this city, sent a message to the association
requesting the privilege of addressing the
association on the question of overland rates
on fruit. A resolution was passed suspend
ing the rules and Air. Goodsell was invited
to speak. lie made a very strong appeal in
behalf of the fruit interests of California,
and produced a visible impression on the
members of the association. The basis of
his appeal was that the railroads
should encourage the fruit interests of
the State as a matter of policy and business
both for the roads and for the State. Fruit
growers need encouragement. The crops
were not satisfactory last year and the
prices were low.
He urged the association to give
first faster service for the transportation
of fruit to the East, and second, a $125 rate
to New York, with a pro rata schedule to
Chicago. The present rate is $250 for fast
service on passenger trains and £150
on freight trains. Mr. Goodsell main
tained that a rate of $125 should be
granted on fast service through to New
York. Fast service is essential, as it is ab
solutely necessary to get the fruit to market
in first-class condition. With a 13-day serv
ice the fruit arrives in Eastern mar
kets in Rich a condition that decay
auickly sets in. Mr. Goodsell said mat the
cost of marketing the fruit was reduced to
about the lowest possible basis, except us to
relief that could be given by the railroads,
and the only recourse left producers now is
to obtain concessions from the Trunk lines.
Mr. Goodsell was subjected to severe
questioning by the members of the associa
tion but was prepared to answer every point
raise*), and it was evident that the asso
ciation was very much impressed with
the force, of his apj^eai and arguments for
the absolute necessity of Staking material
concessions to producers, if tho fruit indus
try is to prosper.

Pacific Kailroad.
Winnipko. March 21.— The Canadian Par
cific strike has assumed a serious aspect.
Conductors and trainmen on the Pacific di
vision, from Donald to Vancouver, were
called out to-day, and dispatches from Rat
Portage tell of serious disturbances. Sev
eral trains were cut into sections by strU
ers at different times to-day, and officials en
gaged in trying to move trains experienced
much trouble.
New Westminster, 8.C., March 21.—
Every trainman between Vancouver and
Port Arthur went on a strike at midnight
last night, and the outlook for an early set
tlement of the trouble between the trainmen
and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company
is not so blight as it was a few days ago.
At a conference between trainmen and offi
cials of the company on Wednesday last
an arrangement was reached whereby the
discharged men should be reinstated and all
the trainmen return to work pending a set
tlement of the strike on the western divi
sion, when the trainmen on the Pacific divi
sion should be given the same wages as
were arranged lor the western division, and
a certain percentage in addition. This was
considered satisfactory by the men, and
negotiations were continued on 'Thursday
and Friday. When on the point of settle
ment they were brought to an abrupt ter
mination. The company, while negotiating
with the men at this end of the line, con
tinued pressing the men on the up-country
sections to assert their loyalty to the com
pany by signing an agreement to keep out
of any combination or strike which might
bo promoted. This practically meant the
withdrawal from the brotherhood of such
men as signed, and one of the officers of tha
brotherhood who were conducting negotia-
Uations with Superintendent Abbott s°nt
the latter gentleman a letter on Saturday,
announcing their withdrawal from further
meeting with the company for the present
or until such time as the company receded
from the position it had taken in the matter.
The company remaining firm in the stand it
had assumed, a general strike was ordered
yesterday, to begin this morning, and it
went into effect as arranged.

M C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.
"Gentlemen: When I was 14 years of age I
was confined to mv bed for several months by aa
attack of rheumatism, aud wnen I had partially
recovered I did not have the use of my leg*, so
that I had to go on crutches. About a year later
ScrofalA, in the luiniof
White Swellings,
Appeared on various parts of my body, and for
eleven years I was au luvalld, belug confined
to my bed six yean. In that time ten or
eleven of these sores arpeared and broke, caus-
ing me great pain and suffering. Several times
pieces of bone worked out of the sore«. Physi-
cians did not Uelp me, and I became discouraged.
" I went to Chicago to visit a sister, as It was
thought a change of air and scene might do me
good. But I was confined to my bed most of the
time. I was so impressed wltu the success of
Hood's
Sarsaparilla
Cures
Hood's Sarsanarilta In cases similar to mine
that I deckled io try It. So a bottle was
bought, :uid to mygieat gratification the sores
soon decreased, and 1 begau to feel better. This
strengthened my faith lv the medicine, and la a

Up and Out of Doors.
To make a ion? story short, I continued to take
Hood's Snrsaparilla for a year, when I had be-
come no fully leleased from the chains of disease
that I toon a position with the Film St Walling
Manufacturing Company, and since that time
have not lost a single day on account of sickness.
I always fee! well, am in good spirits and have a
good appetite. To my friends my recovery seems
almost miraculous. I think Hood's Sar-aparHl»
Is tbe king of all medicines." William A. Lkhr,
