The success Of the narrow gauge
railways seems beyond question. A
large majority Of the roads of the
West, now projected or being built,
are narrow gauge. The Denver and
Rio Gfsndc was the FIRST one COM
menced on this plan. Then the Col
orado Central was changed from
broad to narrow gauge. The North
ern Utah Line, the Leavenworth and
Denver, and the Southern Pacific,
in Texas, are among the
roads of this character that are being
carried forward to completion. All
over the country trunk or branch
roads Of this gauge are being built.
One will soon be completed running
from ST. Louis to Cairo; one from
rerre Haute to Cincinnati, the Penn
sylvania Central is building branch
roads of the same pattern, and the
Arkansas Central is being laid as q
narrow gauge. The Chicago, Milling
on and Western is another important
inc that will doubtless soon be in ac-
i've course of construction. All this
J pretty good evidence that the mar
ow gauge is becoming popular, and
hat its advantages are more appa-
ant as they become more fully |
nown.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1873-11-23

Had our Consul at Santiago been in
his place, timely dispatch to Madrid
might have stayed the execution, but
the murders were rushed through in
accordance with the devilish spirit of
the authorities.
As to Santa Rosa, one of the victims,
Mr.. Fish said he had already saved
him once from death, and that he was
foolhardy to risk his life second
time.
1t having been reported that the
Secretary instituted comparison be-
tween the case of the Virginius and
the Trent, Mr.. Fish said that in this
he was misquoted. He did say that
the Cuban insurgents wanted us to
give them more direct assistance than
the Alabama had given the Southern
rebels, and for which we had sum-
moned England to pay us fifteen mill
ions of dollars. AS to the capture Of
the Virginius by the Tornado, there
were three distinct ways in which the
case might be presented. If the Vir-
ginius was sighted in Spanish waters
and chased to sea, or if she was sighted
on the high seas and chased toward
Jamaca, international law and treaty
must decide the matter. If captured
within league of Jamaica, the Brit
ish Government would have cogni-
zance of the case. e.-[Cincinnati Com

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Cole Gun
ming, the we'll known burglar, was
taken from the penitentiary where he
has just completed a six months term,
and locked up at police headquarters
on charge of completely in the Nathan
murder, preferred by John T. Irving.
Irving duplicates both Cunning and
Kelly in the murder by stating that
the former killed Nathan while Kelly
and he were waiting in the house. 1t
is also stated that Kelly is under ar
rest.
Increased activity in the Brooklyn
Navy Yard; twenty-siX hundred men
at work; six vessels are preparing for

shows that over one hundred of the
Virginius people were executed.
The Erie Canal is closed with ice.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Reports of
further acts of violence toward Minis

firmation.
There is no reason to believe, after
searching investigation, that there
were any Irregularities in the registra-
ton papers of the Virginius.
A Cabinet meeting was held to-day,
the longest and most important ever
held under Grants administration.
Nothing is or can yet be known as to
the conclusions reached. The Presi-
dent is evidently in full accord with

and will do nothing which may by i'm

HITHERwARD.--The monopoly, the
dcmagogues, the "rngs," are all pre-
pairing to flood Sacramento with
agents and emissaries during the first
week of the session of the Legislature.
They will all combine, for all have u
common interest in robbing the peo-
pie. In this state of the case would it
not be well for the farmers and me-
chanics to take a personal interest in
the organization OF the Legislature and
the election OF Il Senator? There are
many oranges and industrial guilds in
the State. They are full of mtclli-
gence. Why not have them repre-
sented here, and taking as active an
interest in political matters as the
predatory aud thieving classes are pre-
pairing for: 1t is an excellent way to
strengthen the backs of the weak
brethren, to have their most influen-
tial constituents visit them at the cap
ital in times of extraordinary interest,
that they may freely and directly con-
fer with each other ON the ways and
means to defeat the common enemy.

TINE vlRGINlUS AFFAIR.

WASHINGTON, November 10.-Sec-
retary Fish consented to be interview
ed to-day on the subject of the Virgin
ius and the Spanish executions at San
tiag0 de Cuba. Tonight your cores
pondent waited upon the Secretary to
substantiate the original interview.
MIR. Fish said that his natural SYM
pathies were with the Cuban cause,
but that in his official position he
could not operate in favor of humanity
there, while unauthorized filibusters
were using the United States ports to
fit out expeditions, contrary to law and
treaty. He stigmatized the recent and
preceding summary executions by the
Spanish volunteers as inhuman and
atrocious slaughters; but intimated
that the only proper way to stop them
was to act directly upon the Spanish
home Government through our MinS
lister, who had used his good offices
several times already to procure
changes in the Captain Generally, by
the substituting mild viceroy for one
more bloOdthirsty. The trouble was
with the volunteers resident in Cuba,
who by social wheedling or terrorizing
each new Captain General, made him
an adjunct to their spirit of massacre.
The Secretary said, without restraint,
that these volunteers in Cuba ought to
be politically extinguished and classed
at Madrid as worse than the insur-
gents. They had given the home Gov
ernment, which was we'll intentioned,
as much perplexity as the reckless
friends Of Cuba had given the United
States.
Mr.. Fish believed that the existing
Government in Spain was liberal and
humane. The summary executions at
Santiago might have been delayed
had our COusul at that point, A N.
Young, of Kentucky, been at his post.
Young, however, was either at the
Ebbit House, in Washington City, or
somewhere between here and New
York at the time. Mr.. Hall, Acting
Consul General at Havana, had no
communications with Santiago in
time to stop these murders. Moreover,
only one of the four victims claimed
to be an American. Ryan was proba-
bly, naturalized citizen, but the State
Department could not act on hearsay.
Nothing had been heard from Madrid
since Saturday, and there was no
probability of more information in a
documentary form on which the Secre-
tary could act, for ten days to come.

the following items:
On the morning of Wednesday, Nov.
18th, occurred the firs. rain of the sea-
son. Since t lat time the weather hi 3
been cloudy with slight showers of rain
on Thursday and Wednesday morn
ings. The rainfall, as furnished by
DR.. Higgins, was on the 10th inst, one
half Of an inch, on the Goth inst. one
sixteenth on the 21st ne.sixteenth,
making a total of five-eighths Of one
inch.
Messrs. Stevens and Tompkins of
Westminster, have killed and packed
two hundred hogs this season. They
will slaughter about three hundred
more.
Sacriste, Elliot & Co. are contem.
plating establishing a branch of their
woolen depot in Anaheim. Such
store would prove profitable to them,
and we know that it would benefit
most materially our citizens.
The storm which prevailed at Ana
helm Landing on last Saturday, was
the most severe one that has happened
this season. So powerful was the ac-
ton of the breakers, that new surf
line broke, and the lighter to which 1t
was attached drifted on sand bank.
Everything indicates that the Sd of
December will be gala day. 1t is be-
lieved that every Lodge in the county
will send large representation to take
part in the ceremonies attending the
Hall, on that day. A cordial invita-
ton is extended to the public of Ana
helm and vicinity, to participate in
the festivities.
A Grange was organized under the
title of Westminster Grange on We'd
nesday, by Deputy T. A. Carey, of Los

Tho Agricultural Society.

A meeting was held at the Claren-
don Hotel yesterday morning, to set
tie the business connected with the
late meeting.
Considerable preliminary converse
tion took place, in the course Of which
this journal received, as might be ex-
pected, any amount Of adverse criti-
cism and uncomplimentary noti-
ces. The real business of the meeting
consisted in auditing accounts and set
Ting the financial obligations. We
are informed that the bills received
were very heavy, and that accounts
up to So, 100 were passed. The associ-
alton still thinks that the HERALD
has been unjust, that is, as far as we
can learn, opinion is about equally
divided.
The HERALD favors, and hopes to
favor in all coming time, the develop
ment of the country, through the
means of agricultural associations,
and by other modes; but it will al
ways reserve the right to oppose the
unworthy and sanction the merito-
rious in everything pertaining to the
interests of the people. The associa-
ton, as body, is the best is the State.
1t is the ring inside of the asso-
citation that we fight. Therefore
the sooner uncompromising enmity
is declared openly between monopo-
lies and cliques and the HERALD, the
better. From the first issue We prom
ised independence. We pledged our
selves to scorn subserviency to any
party or clique, and, as far as any
party or clique enters into any body,
society or corporation, so far will this
journal fight it or them.
The statement in this journal that 1t
had written more, done more, and
worked harder for the association, than
any other Los Angeles journal has
not been denied. When it is, the
HERALD will give abundant proof that
the statement Is incontrovertible.
Our fight is against measures, not men,
and it rests with the people of South
ern California to decide whether they
will support fearlessly out-spoken
journal, or whether they desjSe to re-
lapse into the old ruts made by the
wheels Of selfish rings. Let the bit
terest opponents Of this journal turn to
the files of the paper from the second
of October until the last day of the
Fair, and they dare not deny the as
sistance it has given them. Let them
turn to our files since, and they will
find that the severe and uncompro-
missing criticisms are but unpleasant
truths, which were better told now
than later. AS to the inuendoes that
the District will lose the appropriation
from the State next year, that is an
other monopoly trap to catch the
unsuspicious. Next year will proba-
bly, see the best agricultural exhibit
ton, and the best races ever held here;
and long before the fair is held the As
sociation will own that they have to
thank, instead Of to condemn, the Los
