\u25a0Wapuixgtojt, Oct. 24.—Additional results

of the recent tests of armor plate at An-napolis are still coming to light. Thedemon-stratiou of the superiority of nickel steelalloy and the immediate appropriation byCongress for the purchase ofa quantity ofnickel with which to alloy naval steel hashad the effect of atimnlating the nickelmarket to an unusual degree. The NavyDepartment hardly began to inquire iutoamount of nickel on the market before- itwas found that the results of the tests hadbeen seized iipon abroad with remarkablecelerity, and that there was to be a keencompetition in the market, already noted fora vigorous and steady demand. In addition,there was a uinor of

"corners

"that

was discomforting to too officials whoexpected to get an adequate supply of metalat fair prices. All of the nickel used herehas been produced abroad, Canada bein^the nearest source of supply. From ln-form.ition coming in an unofficial way to

the department it appears, however, thatthere is a probability that the metal exists inthis country in considerable quantities. Itis asserted that miues of great value existin Virginia, although for obvious reasonsthe persons making Out assertion relu-e todelinitely givo their locality. One companyis organizing to develop these mines, so tin;

Navy Department officials are hopeful Unitany considerable enhancement of the mar-ket price ol nickel willbe mat aud counter-acted by au increased supply from domesticsources.

COMMERCE OF GUAYMAS.Interesting Report to the State Department

From the United States Consul.

Washington, Oct. 24.—Consul Williardsends an interesting report lo the State De-partment on the "Commerce of Guaymas"(Souora).

The population, according to the lastcensus, of this consular district (Jkmora) isplaced at 150,000, one-fourth of which areIndians (composing tho tribes of the Yaqui,Mayo, Opatus and Punas), most of whomiive in villages and cultivate the soil. Theforeign residents are estimated at a littleover2000, of whom fully half are American citi-zen?, engaged almost exclusively in miningpursuits. The number of Chinese has in-creased during the year; the whole numberin the State willnot exceed 1per cent, vari-ously employed, but principally Inmanufac-turing shoes and coarse clothing. At this^port there are two shoe factories that em-ploy over 100 Chinamen ;none as yet havebeen brought hero as field laborers or asworkmen in mines.

The experiment of importing Chinese towork in the mines Is being tried in tiie ad-joining State of Siualoa, and, 1am informed,with partial success, as they can De used onoutside workings, but not underground. Iam satisfied by the list of arrivals of China-men at the Captain of the Port's ofliee thatnone have arrived with the object of mak-ing this district a stepping-stone to enter theUnited States. The surplus arrivals overdepartures are accounted for by the addi-tional workmen employed at the shou fac-tories.

Chinese emigration is looked upon by thnpeople generally with disfavor, and wouldbe manifested in a positive manner ifa largenumber were brought here to compete aslaborers with the natives of the country.There is a scarcity of laborers complainedof throughout the country— on the raurhosor farms and at the mines— but whether thiswant can be remedied by the importing ofChinamen is something that the future willdetermine.

The war with the Yaqui Indians, who in-habit the valley of that name sixty milesfrom this port, is about terminated, and ef-forts will be made the coming year to colo-nize the lands of that valley. On the fron-tier of the district and Arizona (UnitedStates) there exists a good understandingwith the authorities on uuth sides of theboundary line, no questions ol an interna-tional character existing.

The orange crop this year is in excess oflast year's crop, and the number of boxesexported approximates 20,000, each box con-taiuing from 100 to 250 oranges. Tiny aresent by mil to tho United Slates, principallyto Chicagu and Denver. The fruit, as men-tioned iv my iast year's report, commeucesto ripen in November, and is purchased onthe tiee by lruit-dealers in tho United Statesthrough their agents sent here, who pick,pack and ship them. The price this year fororanges thus soid vuried from $0 toi'6(Mex-ican silver; per 1000.

Grapes are grown, but no wine or raisinsare made for export The same can be saidof olives, lemons and figs that are grown forhome Cdusumi tiou only, although the soiland climate are favorable for their cultiva-tion.

MIXES ANDMININGINTEIiKSTS.During the past year several new mining

companies have been formed to work goldand silver mines in the State (organized inEngland and the United States), and Invest-ments, amounting to over $1,500,000, havebeen made. The amount of silver and goldores exported during the p;.st year is esti-mated lobe over 5000 tons, the greater partof which was shipped. by rail to smeltingand refining works In the United States.During the year two concessions have beengranted by the State Government {orthe es-tablishment of smelting works in Sonora,with certain privileges and exemption ofState taxes for a term of years. This was atthe time when duties on lead contained insilver and told ores were being discussed inthe United States; but, as this question isconsidered in a measure settled (lead in theores of silver and gold not being dutiablewhen the value of the lend in said ore is lessIn value than the goldand silver containedin them), the interest in the erection of thesesmelting and refining works has subsidedand they intve nut been constructed.

There are no smelting and refining estab-lishments iv Souora where ores are pur-chased, or where small mine-owners canhave their ores worked. This circumstanceobliges them to either work the ores them-selves or ship them out of the country forthat purpose.

No copper mines are worked in Sonora,owing tothe low price of that metal, andowners of mines of that class have sus-pended all work on them. Veins of iron,antimony and lead, which exist, remain un-developed. -

Diningthe year cinnabar was discoveredabout 180 mill8 from Guaymas, in the dis-trict of Ures, and ore has been found yield-ing30 and 50 per cent These deposits arebeing prospected, and, Iam informed, havebeen bonded to an English company. Tneowners have, by a crude process, extractedtwenty ilnsks 01 quicksilver from the ore.These deposits of cinnabar are tne fir»t thathave been discovered or worked in this con-sular district.

STEAMERS AND SAILING VESSELS.The only line of steamers between this

port anil the United States (or of any foreigncountry) is th%i'acitic Coa>t Steamship Com-puny, one steamer, Nowbern (of077.74 tous),making montlily voyages from San Fran-cisco to (iiiiiyimts, towelling at the inter-mediate ports of Euse nenda, MagdalenaBay, San Ji.se de! Cabo, and La la/. (or thepeninsula of Lower California)) M.i.v.!.m(State of Slnaloa), and Guaymas (State ofSonorii), both going and returning. This9t--ainer baa no subsidy from the MexicanGovernment, but carries the mailsfree and oilicials of the Govern-ment at half-rates of passage. Thepalling vessels engaged are lew, and bring,as a rule, cargoes ot lumber from Oregonand California, and their return cargoes arephosphates and gypsum from the islands ofthe Gulf of California.

The Mexican Government, as an induce-ment for their vessels to engage in foreigntrade, gives a 2per cent rebate on the dutiesof goi ds brought from foreign parts underthe Mexican Hug.It is satisfactory to note that there has

been no decrease in the trade with theUnited Stales. The imports of the UnitedSlates exceed those of all other nations, andnow take the place of those occupied byEurope fifteen yean ago. The commercialfacilities of direct railway connection haveto some extent brought about this change.To QUote from my last year's report, whatis greatly needed to increase our commer-cial intercourse with Mexico is a modifica-tion of the many formalities that hamperthe importation of foreign goods under theMexican Custom-house regulations now inforce. We have "no treaty of commerceand navigation" with Mexico, and Ifitwerepossible tocelebrate one on the principle ofa freer and more generous trade intercours3than now exists the results, no doubt, wouldbe mutually beneficial to the commercial in-,terests of both countries. < \u25a0

Imposing Torch-Light Procession and Two

Grand Meetings— A ConibinaiioH of

Eloquence and Enthusiasm.

Special to The Mobsi.vo Calc»

Fresno, Oct. 24. —The largest politicalgathering ever known in the history ofFresno County was that held in nonor ofColonel Haikham to-night. Nothing tocompare with it was ever seen on the streetsof this thriving little city, and as a conse-quence Republicans are elated and Demo-crats correspondingly depressed. Twothousand men in line with blazing torchesand numerous brass bands, together withthe glare of rockets and red fire, made thestreets a scene of \u0084'reat animation, whilethousands of citizens lined the principal

thoroughfares and cheered themselveshoarse in honor of the future Governor andSenator Stanford. The former, with party,

left Merced at 10:30 O'clock last night, ar-

riving here at 12:30, and in spite of the late-ness of the hour, a large delegation ofprominent citizens were on hand to welcomethem, and to escort them to the Grand Cen-tral Hotel, when mine In.stBerry had madeall arrangements for the comfurt of the dis-tinguished guest.

On the arrival at the hotel and after anexchange ofgreetings, Colonel Markham re-tired to his room and remained until 9

o'clock this morning, when he was called forbreakfast, after which the party weredriventhrough the fruitful vineyards that lie formilrs to the east of the city, and ColonelMarkhnni found much to interest him in thegreat wineries and raisin dryeries which areso numerous here. The party was alsotaken to inspect the fairgrounds, which areamoDg the best in the State. On the return

to the hotel the Colonel held an informal re-ception, and the parlors were literallythronged all day with visitors. Theycame by hundreds, and so great wasthe rush that the gallant Fasadenanwas obliged to forego his lunch anddevote the entire day to the callers. Amongthem were many ladies and a great manyprominent Democrats, who showered everyattention upon him. Itis impossible to esti-mate the number of callers, but (hey musthave run into the thousands, as a constantstream flowed in and out of the parlorsduring the entire afternoon. When thedinner hour arrived the Colonel was com-pelled to resort to a little diplomacy toescape to his room, where he was served, asthe dining-room was crowded with thoseanxious to see him.

At5 o'clock Senator Stanford, accompa-nied by his wife and Thomas Fitch, ar-rived and were taken to the Hughes House,where they were serenaded. As the hourapproached for the procession to take up itsline of march, the streets along iho routebecame tilled witha surging llirung of liu-mauity, thousands innumber, and enthusi-astic one and all. When Colonel Markliamand company, drawn by four bitick horsesand preceded by a band, nud followed by2OW) eheei ing torch-bearers, moved down thestreet, it was one long ovation, and thecheers that rang out troiu all sides weredeafening in volume. Hats were thrown inthe air, while Hags and handkerchiefs werewaved oil every Hand to bid a welcome tothe honored guests of the city. It was ascene not to be forgotten, and spoke vol-umes for the fealtyyof the Republicans ofSan Joaqiiin Valley, who are all inHue andready to make the victory all the morn pro-nounced by pilingUP a handsome majority.

Armory Hall was packed with 2000 peo-ple when Markham and Stanford arrived,and they were compelled to push their waythrough a dense throng to reach the stage.Their appearance was the signal for a dem-onstration of willenthusiasm, which wasvented in prolonged nnd cyclonic cheers,which were repeated until the very raftersrang again.

Not half the people could gain acceas tothe hall, and an ovcitlow meeting washeld, over which F. U. Short presided, andwhich was addressed by J. C. Campbell inone of his most convincing and eloquentspeeches. He held 1^)0 people for an hour,and was interrupted at every point byvociferous applause. In the hall Markhamand Stanford both spuke briefly and eachwas cheered to the echo, while ThomasFitch, who followed inone of his old-timeeloquent appeals, held the vast audiencespell-'oound tor an hour and a half. At theclose of the meeting cheer after cheer wasgiven for the Republican ticket, and allwent away more convinced than ever oi thecertainty of success at the polls.

The party leave at 12:30 o'clock to-:iightfor Tatars and to-morrow afternoon willvisit Visalia.
