The following translation of a letter pub- lished in theCourrierdea Etats-Uuis, telli of the manner in which GeneJal Menendez, of Salvador, met liis death on the I'-Jd of last June, the writer claiming to have been an eye witness of what be describes: "The President, General Menendez, in order to celebrate the fifth anniversary of liis triumphal eutrance into !san Salvador, bad invited the prominent families of the city and its environs to a Brand ball, which was to be followed by a banquet in the presidential palace. At 11 o'clock, when the dancing was at its height, there arrived in front of the palace the musical band of Santa Ana, invited for the purpose of add- ine to the jubilation of the occasion, its members shouting 'Viva Menendez,' and playing the jjoulauger march. Tlie com- pany forming the guard of honor allowed the band aud the escort accompaning il o penetrate into the inner Mjuare of the building, in the belief that it came to sere- nade the President. Suddenly thft musi- cians throw out their instruments, which they replaced with guns ana wea| ons car- ried by the escort. Then, led oy General Blasio Marcial, they ascend the steps, reach the doors ol the dancing liall>, :?nd stun- u, ii the President aud .Ministers to sur- render. " General Mener.drz was at the moment somewhat Indisposed, and reclining upon a sofa in liis apartments on the second floor. On hearing the shouts of the insurgents, who had clanged tin ir hurrahs of 'Viva Menendez!' for tho'-e oi 'iluera Menendez,' 'Viva Ezeta,' the President appeared at a winnow, talked excitedly to the rebels, lircd his revolver at them and appealed to tho guard of honor to do its duty. A UVI-.1.Y FUSILADB Was then opened, just on the levrl of tlie dancing hall, whence llie guests could see the flashes from tbe guns. Tremendous con- fusion ensued mother* calling for their »ons and daughter*, husbands limkin,; after their families, the nlr tii!'-d with the shouts of tlie soldiers, ami the piteous cries ol the wounded, and above sill, the stentorian voice of President Meneudez, in a paroxysm ol rage, calling lor General Ezctu aud defy- ing li i in to personal conflict "Suddenly the fu-i.ade stops and a strange feilrnce prevails. Only two voices are heard— that of the President standing at the window and continuing his imjn•\u25a0- --cations and that of lilasio iiarcial, stand- ing on tint steps covered with blooil imd with only a horsewhip in hi* hiuid, rncour- aglng his -oi'lii-rs and forbidding them to lire, while li" begs the ladies and the strangers to get oul from the palace, »>sur- ing tliein that there is no danger and offer- in;: to protect tliem with his own body. The ladlnE, without tlicir cloaks, their shoulders naked and their hair it)ing to tlio wind, step down the few steps. Among them were tbe wife and daughters oi the Miuis- ter of War, whom they embrace, wiien HABCIAX IXTEKFBBKS. "'General,' exclaims the Minister, 'my wife and danghters are dying with fright. Let me lead them away ami I return imm- ediately. I k»vc you my woid of honor.' "'I accept it,' says iiarcial, 'but dou't fall to return.' "The Miuister did not oomo b:i-k. " At this moment Colonel Martinez, com- mandant of the guard of honor, who had not understood the meaniugol the fnsilade, «nd took it fur a salute to tlie President, ar- rived on the portico aud saw the soldiers of Marcial. 'Surrender,' said tho latter; 'let us not shed useless blood. All the barracks are in our power*; and, in the liopo of bet- ter persuading .Martinez he took him in his anus. Bat meanwhile the I'iesideut had couie down fiom his apartments, and see- luti Martinez in the aims of Marcial, ex- claimed: "'What! even mv bodyguard abandons me V "' No,' answered Martinez, 'I am come to die by your side!' A struggle takes place between the two chiefs who roll on the grounil, and Marcial is killed. " Then Meneudez, a sword iv one hand and a revolver in the other, unrroutided also by a few friend*, aud ordering his guard to follow him, madly runs into the street in pursuit uf the rebels. But lie sud- denly turns himself around, his arms beat- iriK the air, ami falls under a CUddou Stroke of apoplexy. 1I« is carried into the palaie and Colonel Martinez slowly retreats toward the barracks of the guard, where he is soon subdued by the greater number of the insurgents."

New YORK, July 31.— Mail and Ex- press definitely places the shortage of the Eastern fruit crop' at the following figures for Delaware: There are 9,811,663 peach trees along the lines of the railroads. Two- thirds are bearing, one-third is young trees. The crop usually runs from 1,000,000. to 3,000,000 baskets, and 6,000,000 baskets would not be too large a crop for the num- ber of trees. This year the entire crop is estimated at 12,375 baskets. California fruits took a big boom this week in this market, and a greater quantity has been disposed of than in any similar period since the business began. At the same time it Is a bad season for fruit. The Eastern crop is generally a fail- ure. The receipts average hardly more than 1000 boxes a day.

A Circular Calling for the Sale I or Silver Bullion. 1 : The Treasury Department Preparing to Enforce the New Bill. ; Probable Effect of the Sherman Bill—Sena- tor Mitchell's Views on the Advance \u25a0 of the White Metal. Special Dispatches to TinMornixo Call. | Washington, July 31.—The Treasury ! Department lias taken the first step to- ; ward giving effect to the last Silver Act, by 1 the preparation of a circular, which will be i issued to-morrow, announcing that on and i after the 13th inst. offers for the sale of silver bullion, in lot of not less than 10,000 ounces, and delivery free of expense to t the. Government at any specified coinage Hint, will be received, either by telegraph or letter, for consideration at noon Mon- j days, Wednesdays and Fridays of each week, except legal holidays. Allbids must , be addressed, "Director of the Mint, Treas- j ury Department, Washington," and state ' the quantity offered in fine ounces, the price t per tine ounce, and the Mint at which the i bullion will be delivered. Bidden will be ! notified by telegraph of the acceptance or rejection of their oilers. The right to re- ject any or all bids is reserved, and also the right to accept any portion of the amount offered. The delivery or purchase must be completed within ten days after tho ac- ceptance of the offer. Ween bars bear the stamp of well-known refiners, such ap- proximate value will be paid, pending the melt and assay, as may be safe and proper. When tho bullion purchased is of a charac- ter to require parting or refining, the usual mint charges for these operations must be paid by the seller. No bars weighing over 1200 ounces will be received. Xo silver coin except uncurrent and mutilated coins of the United States will be received on account of such purchase. Sew York, July 31.—A special from Washington gives an interview with Cttni- trollur Lucy concerning the probable effect of Shermaa'a bill providing that the com- pulsory deposit of bunds by any national bank with the Treasury shall not ex- ceed 81000. Lacy* says Hie bill Will nut permanently expand the volume of the currency iv circulation. The first ef- fect would probably bo counterbalanced by the withdrawal of bonds on deposit by the banks of ihe new Males. For in- stance where tin) rate of Interest is high, the premiums on the bunds :i>ighl be wiped out, but ilm bonds will never sell below par. The immediate effect of the passage of the bill would be to put into circula- tion (something like $15,000,000 in bank notes which would be conveyed at once by the automatic action of thu law to 3300 diff- erent cities and towns in which national banks are located and precisely where the money is most needed for the moving crops this season. While the .Silver billwill net slowly, the action of the Sherman bill would bo rapid and fill the gap until the Silver Bill can effect what is expected of it. - - la an interview v.itii hi :i r Mitchell on the effect ot the Silver Bill. .Mitchell is quoted as saying: "Silver bullion being one standard, money values will naturally lead the way to market prices for all kinds of American products. When wo began the discussion of the Silver Bill bull- ion was worth 94 cents an ounce. It is over £1 10 to-day, and it is stated that it will continue to rise till it reaches at least SI 16 and probably 51 20 before it stops. This is an increase already of about 23 per cent in the price of bullion, and from what 1 learn through my wails and telegraph, farm products, taking tho country over, are Increasing proportionately. 1 have no doubt that when the full effects of the sil- ver coinage law are distributed over the country, farmers will find themselves re- ceiving anywhere from 25 to 50 per cent more lor their products than a few months ago. IRRIGATION BURVKYB. Secretary Noble's Reply to the He«olution A-iopted by tho Senate. WASHINGTON, July 31.— An answer to the inquiries in regard to privation surveys contained in the recent Senate resolution wns sent to the Senate to-day by Secretary Noble, lie states that the Director of the Geological Survey actually surveyed and marked the boundaries and areas of tho sites for the reservoirs by him selected un- der the act of I«SS, a::d the tracts are so segregated and so marked that they can be discovered on the ground and delineated on the Land Ufli<-e maps. Of the reservoir site selections only so much land has in each Instance been reserved its U intended to be used for the stoiage of water. Jl was not intended, the Secretary says, that the sur- veys and selections under the act of 1888 should be carried to the extent of planning a Byscem of canals, ditches, checks and fur- rows lur the distribution uf water over farms which it is deemed that the people When they come to cultivate these lands can belter do themselves. The general purpose and plan uf the department, the Sects tary says, is to preserve the sources ot the water supply from the possession or appropria- tion of Individuals or corporations. "Itis believed," he says, "to he a duty to this de- partment, so lout; as this statute remains, to enforce It, and that its fruits, at least in the preservation oi the sources and reser- voirs of water, may be kept under either national or Slate governmental control." CANNOT LAND. The W:fe of a Chine c Dentist Uaable to Ent r the United States. Washington, July 31.— Secretary Win- dom has written the following letter to the Rev. F. J. Masters, Superintendent of tho Chinese Mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church at San Francisco: I am in receipt of your letter of the 17th inst. in regard to the proposed landing in the United States of the wife of Dr. Lang- don, a Chinese dentist now residing iv San Francisco, with the view, if possible, of complying with your request to permit the lauding of Dr. Langdon'g wife, who is now in China. The Solicitor of the Treasury was communicated with in order that 1 might be advised as to whether the exist- ing law would admit of so doing. 1regret to say, however, that his opinion is ad- verse, unless Mrs. Langdnn shall obtain and produce a certificate from the Chinese Government as prescribed iv Section ti of the Act of July 8, 18S4. Tho Secretary incloses in the letter a copy of the derailment's circular of the 3d inst., and reaffirms the former ruling of the department. ST. I'AUI/S CKNSL'S.

A delegation representing tiie city of St. Puul had a con- ference with the .Secretary of the Interior to-day iv regard to the proposed recount of the population of that city. Census Super- intendent Porter escorted the delegation to the Interior Department, and presented the members to the Secretary. In response to their request he stated to the delegation the grounds fur his action in recommending a recount. Porter read for halt an hour or more from type-written memoranda the re- sults of the recent investigation into the alleged schedule-padding. Porter seemed to make a strong prims facie ciise. The \u25a0natter was informally discussed a short time, when tho conference adjourned until to-morrow. Land Grsnd Forfeiture Bi!l.

'\u25a0'.';\u25a0 \u25a0 : : "The Tariff Bill was then taken up, and -Mci'lif rson moved to make the rate on ex- tracts of licorice four cents a pound, the amendment of the Finn ace Committee being to reduce it from six to fiv^ cents. The usual political discussion followed, in the course of which Aldrich said the Mills bill originally proposed a duty of four cents on licorice paste,. but when it was found that the men engaged in that business were Democrats the rate was increased to live cents. Vest denied this statement. McPherson'a motion was finally rejected by the usual party vote iuiU the, committee amendment was agreed to. ilcPlierson wanted the duty on castor oil reduced from 50 to 25 cents per gallon, but Plumb asked that it be increased to 80 cents, the present duty, and this was agreed to. The paragraph relating to opium was amended, as recommended by the Fi- nance Committee, to make it read 512 la- stead of $10 per pound. Paragraph 4«, as to barvtes, was amended on recommendation of ie Finance Com- mittee, making tlm duty on unnianufae. tured articles SI per ton instead of 12, as in the House bill, and on manufactured one- fourth of a cent per pound, instead of S7 per ton. SJcl'herson continued to offer amend- ments to several other pharagraphs, but all were voted down. tome other committee amendments were agreed to, and four paces of the bill Having bteu disposed of, the Senate adjourned. THE HOUSE. An Icvestigation of Ch:rgs of Corruption Dm:ed-Sundry C;vil Bi!I. Washington, July 31, In the House to- day Oates of Alabama, rising to a Question of privilege, offered a resolution for an in- vestigation of the charges of corruption .against tlio members of the House, con. tamed in a recent editorial in the National Economist. After some discussion the Speaker ruled the resolution a privileged one. On doing so he said the editorial was of the vaguest character. It made no assertion except by inference. It made no statement upon which anybody could be expected to predi- cate belief or conviction, ft was within the knowledge of every member that para- grapbs of this character were floating around in the newspapers of the country. The Jlousp could see the inconvenience wh ich would result to the business of the House if any member hud a riulit on the publication of a paragraph like this to de- mand an investigation. The House sustained the decision of the (': air, an appeal having been taken by Gates— ayes 95, noes 71. The Douse then went into committee of the whole on the Semite amendments to the Sundry Civil Bill. The Senate irrigation amendment was finally non-concurred in. The committee then rose and the House adjourned without disposing of the bill. THE WORLD'S FAIR. Agreement of the Illinois Legislature on the Constitutional Amendment Bill. Spriscfie:.!), July 31.— The Chicago delegation, which has been working against the lake front nnd Jiickson Park site for the World's Fair, and which was supposed last night to have a majority of the Judici- ary Committee, received another setback this rooming, when the bub-coinmittfc's report in favor of striking out the section providing for the issue of 52,000,000 Park bonds was rejected by a votu uf 12 to 13, and the minority report to add a clause to tho section that would provide that the ques- tion of issuing bonds snail first be submitted to a vote ol the people of the Park district was adopted. The section was also amended joas to provide that the amount of bonds should be Sl,<>oo,oou instead of 5---',U(JO,OOO. In the li. -.\u25a0-». the Judiciary Committee reported back the World's Fair Bill, which was taken up and read a second tune and most of the amendments of the Judiciary Committee adopted. The amendment pro- viding for the enforcement of the e'ulit- bour law among the laborers on the build- ings, and that none but citizens of the United States should be employed, was nnally adopted, in spito of the warning of one of the members that the adoption of this clause meant the turning over of the World's Fair to the walking delegate, and that in this case "hell would he to pay." The Senate and House, reached an agree- ment on the Constitutional amend men t resolution, and it now goes to the Gover- nor. The House amended the World's Fair Kill, adding, after a bitter debate, a proviso thai eight hours shall constitute a d:iy's labor on all work about tho exposition, the exhibitors to be exempt. There w;is an- olbel bitter tight on a proposition to allow the South Park Commissioners to issue bonds foi $J,0U0,000, to be used in fitting up Ja< ksun Park fur the [air, this, in addi- tlun to the sß,ooo,ooo to be issued by tho city ol Chicago. It Wa3 finally amended so a- to make the amount of the park bonds $600,000 instead of 82,000,000, and the bill then went to a third reading. It is reported to-night that a vigorous war Will be waged iv the Senate to-morrow on the eight-hour clause of the Dill on tlie ground that it is special legislation and un- consUtutiouaJ. THE WORKINGMEN. Threatened Bread Famine— Demands of Chicago Seamen— Strikes Settled. Chicago, July 3].— Unless Bakers Aid- rich and Bremner, whose large establish- ments are part of the American Biscuit Company, accede to the demands of their Striking journeymen bakers it lias been de- cided by the Bakers' Union to declare the shutdown of every bakery in the city, in- cluding those who acceded to tho strikers' terms. The journeymen see their oppor- tunity in tho fact that business is and is likely to continue very heavy. Private fam- ilies, to a large extent, prefer to buy bread rather than bake it, and the Odd Fellows' Cantonß meet m this city next week, which will cause a heavily increased demand for loaves nnd rolls. Aldricu and Bremner have decidedly refused to accede to the strikers' demands, and, if they persist In their refusal, a bread famine seems iuovita- ble. An afternoon paper says: To-morrow will involve a sailors' strike involvingevery species of sailinu craft on the lakes. The prospective strike is due to a demand on the part ol the Seameus' Union for an increase in wages, and that every man on shipboard under the rank of captain shall be a mem- ber of the union. Ni-:w Yobk, July 31.— After being out fourteen weeks the strike of the, cloak- makers hpre has ended in a victory for the men. The concessions made by the manu- facturers nre that they will employ only union men and discharge the non-union men unless they join the utiion. The ques- tion of wages has yet to be decided. A committee of eight members of the union is hcint! appointed to confer with the manu- facturers concerning the terms. PiTTsiiCKc, Julj 31.— The strike at the National Tuba Works at McKrcsport, Pa., was settled at n conference this afternoon. Tin: men will return to work to-night. The strike aU'ecle'l JOOO men. Mezicnn Railway Scheme. San' Antonio (Texas), July 31.— con- trace was let to-day for building a railroad from Miitamorus, on the Rio Grande, across Mexico to Kan Bias, on the Pacific Ocean.

Perrott Pitches Good Ball for the Stocktons. Ihe Colonels Hade \u25a0 Bat Three Hits, and ... Score^ Runs onEfroi&y;.:;:;. .; - -: Len Siwk.w'sll Signed by Oaklana^Riyills, of Games Played in tbe League; - : ".V' and Brotherhood. ' : " With his team givinu him tlie rawest va- riety of support I'errott pitched Stockton into victory yesterday afternoon. The, young twirler, whoso quiet, unobtrusive manner has kept him in the background since his entry into the lenmie, is rapidly coming forward as one of the best pitchers in California. Since joining the Slmigii City club he has been hit hard but twice, and other games in w! ah the opposing side won were lost by Stockton through poor fieldine. Yesterday Perrottgave one of the finest exhibitions of effective pitching wit- nessed on the local grounds for some time. The Colonels tried hard enough to bat liis curves out of the reach of fielders, but failed to get more than one clean hit. The two other base liits credited to Oakland were scratches. The Stockton boxman had per- fect command of the ball, puttine it over every time when occasion required, anil he did not send a single man to first base. Had his team given him better support Oakland would have been out. Duane's backstop work was fair, but he was afraid to throw to bases and could have caught several runners at first, who were playing off the bag. He threw one man out at second when the runner had a good start, but more bases would have been stolen by the Colonels if they had been able to reach first safely. With the exception of Selna, the Stockton infield put up very rocky ball. Fudjer, Fogarty and Wilson divided ten errors be- tween them, and the blunders of the third baseman let in all the runs scored by Oak- land. Carsey was not hit hard, but when the Stocktons did meet the ball squarely an error would crop up and runs resulted. Lohman's error, a wild throw to second, was very costly. Charley Sweeney was at short for the Colonels, Xorris o'Neil being on the sick list. The substitute played a great game, having hot chances to handle and his throwing was very speedy and sure. M. J. McLaughlin, the umpire of the late International League, made his first ap- pearance here. His decisions, rendered in a clear loud voice, were satisfactorily re- ceived, but there were few close plays to de- cide. He is quick to announce his judg- ment, is active on the field, forms a correct idea of the play and has a nice discrimina- tion in the matter of balls and strikes. If for no other reason he will please ball patrons by his constant commands to keep the game, coingon as rapidly as possible. The players obeyed him yesterday and there was little lime lost between innings. The first tun was mnde by Stockton in the third inning when Fogarty hit safely to cen- ter, went to second on Carsey's error on Perrott*s grounder and scored on Cahill's double. In the third for Oakland Isaacson and Cam y made first safely on errors by Wilson ami Foaarty. Charley O'Neill hit to* Fo- party, who '..irow out C'arsey at second, and Kudger in attempting to double up O'Xeill threw wild to first, Isaacson scoring and C. O'Xeill going to second. Dungau'a sin- gle to center scored O'Neill. In the fourth Holllday hit to left field for three bases and scored on a wild pitch. For Oakland Lehman hit to Wilson and went to third on the wild throw to Selna. McDonald sacrificed to Sclua and Lohmau scored. In the fifth Duane was given first base on balls and took second on a passed ball, soring on Armstrong's single to center. Dungan returned the ball to the plate in an attempt to head off Dunne and Armstrong started for secon 3. Lohman threw wild to McDonald and Armstrong scored. In the eighth (Jahtll was safe on McDon- \u25a0ld'S error, went to second on Armstrong's single and scored on Seloa's safe hit to cen- ter. Armstrong went to third on tbe hit and scored on Holllday's sacrifice. In the eighth for Oakland iniugan was safe on Wilson's fumble, went to second on a passed ball, stole third and scored when Fudgir erred ou McDonald's ground hit.

It warmed up during tho night and refreshing sleep was almost unknown. At daylight the thermometer registered 79* and at 8 o'clock advanced to 87°, and con- tinued to get hotter. At noon the tube showed 94° and thermometers shielded from the sun registered 91°. At 2 o'clock the 96° mark was passed. The sun blazed down with consuming heat, and the streets wore the appearance of a Southern city. . Several cases of sunstroke worn reported before noon and some of them will result fatally. The filthy condition of the streets, caused by the recent strike in tile Street- cleaning Department is causing a great deal of sickness on the east side of the city, where the heat is probably felt mure than in an; other part of New York. The Signal Service people say that to-night it will be very hot, and blood heat is not im- probable to-morrow. Thousands of people are Seeing from the city. The effects of. the terrible heat were ap- parent on every hand this morning. Down in the commercial section business was se- riously interfered with, it being really dan- gerous for people to venture into the street, where the fierce rays of tlio sun blistered everything. Men who had work out of doors kept well in the shadows of the awn- ings and buildings. Ambulances from Bellevne, Chambers street, Gnuverueurand other hospitals were dashing all over th« city picking up persons who had been pros* trated anil conveying them to hospitals for treatment. The exact record of the day's sunstroke cases is not very easy to secure, because in addition to the great number oi cases cared for at the hospitals many victims were taken from the streets to stores mid ofii es and sent directly to their homes in private conveyance*. At (he hospitals the housa and ambulance surgeons had their bauds full of work. liosTOX, July 31.— Dispatches from dif- ferent points of New England report that the recent intensely hot weather was fol- lowed to-night by severe wind and thunder storms. There was much dainiwe to prop- erty, but few casualties so far as heard, from. There havo been many prostration! from heat the past two days. An linolvi'nl I'urnlluro Man. 11.

An Ty* Witnf>f>ft lells of llie Overilirnw<if tin* S-Wailiir GoTernment.

The following translation of a letter pub-lished in theCourrierdea Etats-Uuis, telli ofthe manner in which GeneJal Menendez, ofSalvador, met liis death on the I'-Jd of lastJune, the writer claiming to have been aneye witness of what be describes:

"The President, General Menendez, inorder to celebrate the fifth anniversary ofliis triumphal eutrance into !san Salvador,bad invited the prominent families of thecity and its environs to a Brand ball, whichwas to be followed by a banquet in thepresidential palace. At 11 o'clock, whenthe dancing was at its height, there arrivedin front of the palace the musical band ofSanta Ana, invited for the purpose of add-ine to the jubilation of the occasion, itsmembers shouting 'Viva Menendez,' andplaying the jjoulauger march. Tlie com-pany forming the guard of honor allowedthe band aud the escort accompaning il openetrate into the inner Mjuare of thebuilding, in the belief that it came to sere-nade the President. Suddenly thft musi-cians throw out their instruments, whichthey replaced withguns ana wea| ons car-ried by the escort. Then, led oy GeneralBlasio Marcial, they ascend the steps, reachthe doors ol the dancing liall>, :?nd stun-u, ii the President aud .Ministers to sur-render."

General Mener.drz was at the momentsomewhat Indisposed, and reclining upona sofa in liis apartments on the second floor.On hearing the shouts of the insurgents,who had clanged tin ir hurrahs of 'VivaMenendez!' for tho'-e oi 'iluera Menendez,''VivaEzeta,' the President appeared at awinnow, talked excitedly to the rebels, lircd

his revolver at them and appealed to thoguard of honor to do its duty.

A UVI-.1.Y FUSILADBWas then opened, just on the levrl of tliedancing hall, whence llie guests could seethe flashes from tbe guns. Tremendous con-fusion ensued

—mother* calling for their

»ons and daughter*, husbands limkin,; aftertheir families, the nlr tii!'-d with the shoutsof tlie soldiers, ami the piteous cries ol thewounded, and above sill, the stentorianvoice ofPresident Meneudez, ina paroxysmol rage, calling lor General Ezctu aud defy-ing liiin to personal conflict

"Suddenly the fu-i.ade stops and astrange feilrnce prevails. Only two voicesare heard— that of the President standingat the window and continuing his imjn•\u25a0-

--cations and that of lilasio iiarcial, stand-ing on tint steps covered with blooil imdwith only a horsewhip in hi* hiuid, rncour-aglng his -oi'lii-rs and forbidding them tolire, while li" begs the ladies and thestrangers to get oul from the palace, »>sur-ing tliein that there is no danger and offer-in;: to protect tliem with his own body. TheladlnE, without tlicir cloaks, their shouldersnaked and their hair it)ing to tlio wind,step down the few steps. Among themwere tbe wife and daughters oi the Miuis-ter of War, whom they embrace, wiien

fall to return.'"The Miuister did not oomo b:i-k."

Atthis moment Colonel Martinez, com-mandant of the guard of honor, who hadnot understood the meaniugol the fnsilade,«nd took itfur a salute to tlie President, ar-rived on the portico aud saw the soldiers ofMarcial. 'Surrender,' said tho latter; 'letus not shed useless blood. All the barracksare in our power*; and, in the liopo of bet-ter persuading .Martinez he took him in hisanus. Bat meanwhile the I'iesideut hadcouie down fiom his apartments, and see-lutiMartinez in the aims of Marcial, ex-claimed:

"'What! even mv bodyguard abandonsme V"'

No,' answered Martinez, 'Iam cometo die by your side!' A struggle takesplace between the two chiefs who roll onthe grounil, and Marcial is killed."

Then Meneudez, a sword iv one handand a revolver in the other, unrroutidedalso by a few friend*, aud ordering hisguard to follow him, madly runs into thestreet in pursuit uf the rebels. But lie sud-denly turns himself around, his arms beat-iriK the air, ami falls under a CUddou Strokeof apoplexy. 1I« is carried into thepalaie and Colonel Martinez slowly retreatstoward the barracks of the guard, where heis soon subdued by the greater numberof the insurgents."

THE FRUIT TRADE.Shortage of the Eastern Crop— Auction

Sales of California Products.

New YORK, July 31.— Mail and Ex-press definitely places the shortage of theEastern fruit crop' at the followingfiguresfor Delaware: There are 9,811,663 peach

trees along the lines of the railroads. Two-thirds are bearing, one-third is young trees.The crop usually runs from 1,000,000. to3,000,000 baskets, and 6,000,000 basketswould not be too large a crop for the num-ber of trees. This year the entire crop isestimated at 12,375 baskets.

California fruits took a big boom thisweek in this market, and a greater quantityhas been disposed of than in any similarperiod since the business began. At thesame time it Is a bad season forfruit. The Eastern crop is generally a fail-ure. The receipts average hardly morethan 1000 boxes a day. This liasgiven the Californlaus a chance andthey have improved it. . On Mon-day 6000 boxes were sold at prices muchhigher than the average for such fruits.Eluding to-day twenty-seven carloads hadbeen sold here, aggregating about thirtythousand boxes, principally peachesand liartlett near.". Prices weremaintained till to-day, when they felltremendously, ruling nearly 40 per centlower than on Monday. This was due tobreaks in the Chicago market earlier in tieweek. Chicago wris overcrowded with fruit.

How John Kane uf Ozsdcro Snw HieS i;liih of Hi.- City.

Jolm K;uie, a rather verdant yonng man,who gives his occupation as tli.itof a waiter,arrived in this city yesterday morningfiom the little town ol Cazadero. He wasanxious to see a liltlu of the famed wildlifeof Smi Francisco, and dropped into Me-Querney'a saloon, on tlie corner of Filthand Natoma streets, todiscover what phaseof the aforesaid wild life he could runacross there.

The moment he got msido the door hisbright eye fell npon the captivating formof Miss Aggie Abbott, who was helping theproprietor to Induce bla customers to drinkbeiT. Aggie struck up an acquaintancewith Kanei ami when she proposed 'hatthey should go to another saloon ami drinkbeer m piace, the young man at once fellin with tiic project and followed her iiku alamk to the sheafing.

Aggie lei l>im into the saloon known as"The Now Curncr," -ituated on tlio inter-section of Fittli and Tebaaia streets andinto a hack room. Scarcely had lie passedthe portal when the dour was closed behindhim and an arm encircled his neck. Itwasnot the soft arm of Miss Aguie, but theStrong rough arm of a big man, and itchingaround bla windpipe in that peculiar uian-

ner known as "garrotting."Kane could not call out, but he could use

his eyes, and lie saw three ntnn in theroom. Ono was embracing him in the veryaffectionate way above described, while theother two dexterously rifledhis pockets ofsomn 540. Then he was given a push andmen and girl fled.

Kau« at onco repaired to tho SouthernStation and reported thn robbery, Hiving adescription of the robbers. The police knewthe girl, and hist night officers Dillon andCrockett captured her just as she was eom-ini; out of Hit) Vendume House, al 317Third street. She was taken to the SouthernPolice Siatiou and charged with robberyand vagrancy. Kane identified her as thesi:en wlio had led him to the despoiiers.The three men have not vet been caught.

| Washington, July 31.—The Treasury

!Department lias taken the first step to-;ward giving effect to the last Silver Act, by1 the preparation of a circular, which willbeiissued to-morrow, announcing that on andiafter the 13th inst. offers for the sale ofsilver bullion, in lot of not less than 10,000ounces, and delivery free of expense to

t the. Government at any specified coinageHint, willbe received, either by telegraphor letter, for consideration at noon Mon-

j days, Wednesdays and Fridays of eachweek, except legal holidays. Allbids must

,be addressed, "Director of the Mint, Treas-

jury Department, Washington," and state'the quantity offered in fine ounces, the price

t per tine ounce, and the Mint at which theibullion willbe delivered. Bidden willbe!notified by telegraph of the acceptance orrejection of their oilers. The right to re-ject any or all bids is reserved, and also theright to accept any portion of the amountoffered. The delivery or purchase must becompleted within ten days after tho ac-ceptance of the offer. Ween bars bear thestamp of well-known refiners, such ap-proximate value will be paid, pending themelt and assay, as may be safe and proper.When tho bullion purchased is of a charac-ter to require parting or refining, the usualmint charges for these operations must bepaid by the seller. No bars weighing over1200 ounces willbe received. Xo silver coinexcept uncurrent and mutilated coins of theUnited States will be received on accountof such purchase.

Sew York, July 31.—A special fromWashington gives an interview withCttni-trollur Lucy concerning the probable effectof Shermaa'a bill providing that the com-pulsory deposit of bunds by any nationalbank with the Treasury shall not ex-ceed 81000. Lacy* says Hie bill Willnut permanently expand the volume ofthe currency iv circulation. The first ef-fect would probably bo counterbalancedby the withdrawal of bonds on depositby the banks of ihe new Males. For in-stance where tin) rate of Interest is high,the premiums on the bunds :i>ighlbe wipedout, but ilm bonds will never sell belowpar. The immediate effect of the passageof the bill would be to put into circula-tion (something like $15,000,000 in banknotes which would be conveyed at once bythe automatic action of thu law to 3300 diff-erent cities and towns in which nationalbanks are located and precisely where themoney is most needed for the moving cropsthis season. While the .Silver billwillnetslowly, the action of the Sherman billwould bo rapid and fill the gap until theSilver Billcan effect what is expected of it.- -

la an interview v.itii hi :i t« r Mitchell onthe effect ot the Silver Bill..Mitchell is

quoted as saying: "Silver bullion beingone standard, money values will naturallylead the way to market prices for all kindsof American products. When wo beganthe discussion of the Silver Bill bull-

ion was worth 94 cents an ounce. It isover £1 10 to-day, and it is stated that itwillcontinue to rise till it reaches at leastSI 16 and probably 51 20 before it stops.This is an increase already of about 23 percent in the price of bullion, and from what1 learn through my wails and telegraph,farm products, taking tho country over, areIncreasing proportionately. 1 have nodoubt that when the full effects of the sil-ver coinage law are distributed over thecountry, farmers will find themselves re-ceiving anywhere from 25 to 50 per centmore lor their products than a few monthsago.

inquiries in regard to privation surveyscontained in the recent Senate resolutionwns sent to the Senate to-day by SecretaryNoble, lie states that the Director of theGeological Survey actually surveyed andmarked the boundaries and areas of thosites for the reservoirs by him selected un-der the act of I«SS, a::d the tracts are sosegregated and so marked that they can bediscovered on the ground and delineated onthe Land Ufli<-e maps. Of the reservoir siteselections only so much land has in eachInstance been reserved its U intended to beused for the stoiage of water.

The general purposeand plan uf the department, the Sects tarysays, is to preserve the sources ot the watersupply from the possession or appropria-tion of Individuals or corporations. "Itisbelieved," he says, "to he a duty to this de-partment, so lout; as this statute remains,to enforce It, and that its fruits, at least inthe preservation oi the sources and reser-voirs of water, may be kept under eithernational or Slate governmental control."

In the House to-day Oates of Alabama, rising to a Questionof privilege, offered a resolution for an in-vestigation of the charges of corruption

.against tlio members of the House, con.tamed in a recent editorial in the NationalEconomist.

After some discussion the Speaker ruledthe resolution a privileged one. On doingso he said the editorial was of the vaguestcharacter. Itmade no assertion except byinference. Itmade no statement uponwhich anybody could be expected to predi-cate belief or conviction, ft was withinthe knowledge of every member that para-grapbs of this character were floatingaround in the newspapers of the country.The Jlousp could see the inconveniencewh ich would result to the business of theHouse if any member hud a riuliton thepublication ofa paragraph like this to de-mand an investigation.

The House sustained the decision of the(': air, an appeal having been taken byGates— ayes 95, noes 71.

The Douse then went into committee ofthe whole on the Semite amendments tothe Sundry CivilBill.

THE WORLD'S FAIR.Agreement of the Illinois Legislature on

the Constitutional Amendment Bill.

Spriscfie:.!), July 31.— The Chicagodelegation, which has been working againstthe lake front nnd Jiickson Park site forthe World's Fair, and which was supposedlast night to have a majority of the Judici-ary Committee, received another setbackthis rooming, when the bub-coinmittfc'sreport in favor of striking out the sectionproviding for the issue of 52,000,000 Parkbonds was rejected bya votu uf12 to 13, andthe minority report to add a clause to thosection that would provide that the ques-tion of issuing bonds snail first be submittedto a vote ol the people of the Park districtwas adopted. The section was also amendedjoas to provide that the amount of bondsshould be Sl,<>oo,oou instead of 5---',U(JO,OOO.

In the li. -.\u25a0-». the Judiciary Committeereported back the World's Fair Bill, whichwas taken up and read a second tune andmost of the amendments of the JudiciaryCommittee adopted. The amendment pro-viding for the enforcement of the e'ulit-bour law among the laborers on the build-ings, and that none but citizens of theUnited States should be employed, wasnnally adopted, in spito of the warning ofone of the members that the adoption ofthis clause meant the turning over of theWorld's Fair to the walking delegate, andthat in this case "hell would he to pay."

The Senate and House, reached an agree-ment on the Constitutional amend men tresolution, and it now goes to the Gover-nor. The House amended the World's FairKill, adding, after a bitter debate, a provisothai eight hours shall constitute a d:iy'slabor on all work about tho exposition, theexhibitors to be exempt.

Chicago, July 3].—Unless Bakers Aid-rich and Bremner, whose large establish-ments are part of the American BiscuitCompany, accede to the demands of theirStriking journeymen bakers it lias been de-cided by the Bakers' Union to declare theshutdown of every bakery in the city, in-cluding those who acceded to tho strikers'terms. The journeymen see their oppor-tunity in tho fact that business is and islikely to continue very heavy. Private fam-ilies, to a large extent, prefer to buy breadrather than bake it, and the Odd Fellows'

•Cantonß meet m this city next week, whichwillcause a heavily increased demand forloaves nnd rolls. Aldricu and Bremnerhave decidedly refused to accede to thestrikers' demands, and, if they persist Intheir refusal, a bread famine seems iuovita-ble.

An afternoon paper says: To-morrowwillinvolve a sailors' strike involvingeveryspecies of sailinu craft on the lakes. Theprospective strike is due to a demand on thepart ol the Seameus' Union for an increasein wages, and that every man on shipboardunder the rank of captain shall be a mem-ber of the union.

With his team givinuhim tlie rawest va-riety of support I'errott pitched Stocktoninto victory yesterday afternoon. The,young twirler, whoso quiet, unobtrusivemanner has kept him in the backgroundsince his entry into the lenmie, is rapidlycoming forward as one of the best pitchersin California. Since joining the SlmigiiCity club he has been hit hard but twice,and other games in w! ah the opposing sidewon were lost by Stockton through poor

fieldine. Yesterday Perrottgave one of thefinest exhibitions of effective pitching wit-nessed on the local grounds for some time.The Colonels tried hard enough to bat liiscurves out of the reach of fielders, but failedto get more than one clean hit. The two

other base liits credited to Oakland werescratches. The Stockton boxman had per-fect command of the ball, puttine it overevery time when occasion required, anil hedid not send a single man to first base. Hadhis team given him better support Oaklandwould have been out.

Duane's backstop work was fair, but hewas afraid to throw to bases and could havecaught several runners at first, who wereplaying off the bag. He threw one man outat second when the runner had a goodstart, but more bases would have beenstolen by the Colonels ifthey had been ableto reach first safely.

With the exception of Selna, the Stocktoninfield put up very rocky ball. Fudjer,Fogarty and Wilson divided ten errors be-tween them, and the blunders of the thirdbaseman let in all the runs scored by Oak-land.

Carsey was not hit hard, but when theStocktons did meet the ball squarely anerror would crop up and runs resulted.Lohman's error, a wild throw to second,was very costly. Charley Sweeney was atshort for the Colonels, Xorris o'Neil beingon the sick list. The substitute played agreat game, having hot chances to handleand his throwing was veryspeedy and sure.

M. J. McLaughlin, the umpire of the lateInternational League, made his first ap-pearance here. His decisions, rendered ina clear loud voice, were satisfactorily re-ceived, but there were few close plays to de-cide. He is quick to announce his judg-ment, is active on the field, forms a correctidea of the play and has a nice discrimina-tion in the matter of balls and strikes. Iffor no other reason he willplease ballpatrons by his constant commands to keepthe game, coingon as rapidly as possible.The players obeyed him yesterday and therewas little lime lost between innings.

The first tun was mnde by Stockton in thethird inning when Fogarty hit safely to cen-ter, went to second on Carsey's error onPerrott*s grounder and scored on Cahill'sdouble.

In the third for Oakland Isaacson andCam y made first safely on errors by Wilsonami Foaarty. Charley O'Neillhit to* Fo-party, who '..irow out C'arsey at second, andKudger inattempting to double up O'Xeillthrew wild to first, Isaacson scoring andC. O'Xeill going to second. Dungau'a sin-gle to center scored O'Neill.In the fourth Holllday hit to left field for

three bases and scored on a wild pitch.For Oakland Lehman hit to Wilson andwent to third on the wild throw to Selna.McDonald sacrificed to Sclua and Lohmauscored.

In the fifthDuane was given first base onballs and took second on a passed ball,soring on Armstrong's single to center.Dungan returned the ball to the plate in anattempt to head off Dunne and Armstrongstarted for secon 3. Lohman threw wild toMcDonald and Armstrong scored.

In the eighth (Jahtll was safe on McDon-\u25a0ld'S error, went to second on Armstrong'ssingle and scored on Seloa's safe hit to cen-ter. Armstrong went to third on tbe hitand scored on Holllday's sacrifice.

In the eighth for Oakland iniugan wassafe on Wilson's fumble, went to second ona passed ball, stole third and scored whenFudgir erred ou McDonald's ground hit.The score:

DECIDEDLY HOT.

New York Gets a Scorcher, With a Pros-pect of Blood Heat %Day.

New Yohk, July 31.—New York lias hada goi d many hot days this summer, but theono that came over Staten Island with thesun this morning was a scorcher such asno Northern city save New Yorkever ex-perienced. Itwarmed up during tho nightand refreshing sleep was almost unknown.Atdaylight the thermometer registered 79*and at 8 o'clock advanced to 87°, and con-tinued to get hotter. At noon the tubeshowed 94° and thermometers shielded fromthe sun registered 91°. At2 o'clock the 96°mark was passed. The sun blazed downwith consuming heat, and the streets worethe appearance of a Southern city. .

Several cases of sunstroke worn reportedbefore noon and some of them will resultfatally. The filthycondition of the streets,caused by the recent strike in tileStreet-cleaning Department is causing a greatdeal of sickness on the east side of thecity, where the heat is probably felt murethan in an; other part of New York. TheSignal Service people say that to-night itwillbe very hot, and blood heat is not im-probable to-morrow. Thousands of peopleare Seeing from the city.

The effects of. the terrible heat were ap-parent on every hand this morning. Downin the commercial section business was se-riously interfered with,itbeing really dan-gerous for people to venture into the street,where the fierce rays of tlio sun blisteredeverything. Men who had work out ofdoors kept wellin the shadows of the awn-ings and buildings. Ambulances fromBellevne, Chambers street, Gnuverueurandother hospitals were dashing all over th«city picking up persons who had been pros*

trated anil conveying them to hospitals fortreatment.

The exact record of the day's sunstrokecases is not very easy to secure, because inaddition to the great number oicases caredfor at the hospitals many victims weretaken from the streets to stores mid ofii esand sent directly to their homes in privateconveyance*. At (he hospitals the housaand ambulance surgeons had their baudsfullof work.

liosTOX, July 31.— Dispatches from dif-ferent points of New England report thatthe recent intensely hot weather was fol-lowed to-night by severe wind and thunderstorms. There was much dainiwe to prop-erty, but few casualties so far as heard,

from. There havo been many prostration!from heat the past two days.
