Santa Monica Items.
From the Outlook, June l4th.l


We had the pleasure of meeting Mr..
Ralph Ellis, of Napa, last Sunday.
Mr.. Ellis talks favorably of building
large warehouse at Santa Monica
and engaging in buying, selling, ship
ping and storing grain
The schooner Ivanhoe arrived at
the Santa Monica wharf last Thurs
day, from San Francisco, with 200
tons of coal for Bannerman, Dunn q
Co. 1t was transferred direct from the
vessel to the cars, and most of the car
go reached Los Angeles before it was
discharged. No delays on this road.
Maj. Jos. M. Nesbitt, of San Fran
cisco, took sniff at the sea- breezes
of Santa Monica last Sunday. The
Major, we unders tand, is to take
desk at the office of the Southern Pa
cific Company, at Los Angeles.
Judge O'Melve ny's cottage on Ne
vada avenue is nearly completed, and
it is very cosy-looking little build
ing. The family will occupy it as
soon as it is finished.
The fast overland train Jarrett Il
Palmer's) brought six letters for San
ta Monica. They arrived several days
ahead of mails that started before
them.
Several gentlemen of Los Angeles,
whose families are located at Santa
Monica for the Summer, are availing
thems elves of the benefit of the COM
muta ton tickets issued by the Rail-
road Company. These tickets are sold
at ten dollars-good for sixty trips, to
be used in thirty successive days. This
makes the cost of each ride only 163
cents which is as cheap as the fare
on the San Francisco street cars. The
trains also run just right to suit busi-
ness men-leaving Santa Monica at
So'cIock in the morning, and Los An
geles at in the afternoon. The dis
tance is traversed in less than one
hour.
We met P. G. Mulloy, who has a
large bee ranch in CoX's Canyon, last
Sunday. He informed us that he had
already shipped 200 cases of honey;
would ship 80 more this week, and so
more the week following. Up to the
time of the conversation he had ship
ped $4,000 pounds. Mr.. Mulloy has a
very choice location in the Cahuenga
range where there is abundance of
bee feed. He is thoroughly skilled in
the management of his hives, which
number some 300 from which he ex-
poets to gather 10000 pounds of hon.
ey, which he thinks will net him not
less than $4,000 this season. Mr..
Mulloy also informs us that he expe-
riences great difference in the cost
of shipment since the building of the
Santa Monica wharf. He now hauls
honey in a wagon six miles to the
steamer; formerly he hauled it six
teen miles to Los Angeles, then ship
ped it by rail twenty-six miles to San
Pedro anchorage.

Fee- Taking Egyptian Officials.

Here is pleasing tale which illus
trates the Chicago pension office style
of doing things in Egypt: A woman
was mortally wounded by the falling
of wall. A neighbor took her in,
leeched her, and brought female
doctor to see if any thing could be
done. The patient died at the neigh
boris house. The doctor in attendance
must sign certificate that death is
from natural causes before the body
can be buried. She refused to do SO
without backbeesh. The man in
whose house the person died would be
held responsible without such certifi-
cate. He therefore gave the back
beesh. The certificate had to be coun-
tersigned by the government doctor.
He also refused; the man was again,
afraid of the alternative, and paid
backbeesh. Finally, the zabit, or head
of the police, refused his permission,
which is also necessary in such cases.
His backbeesh was the biggest, and
the man could stand the tax no long
er. He went to the zabit and said
"Now, look here, this body has been
out of the ground four days. You are
bound to bury it in twenty-four hours.
You are the cause of the delay. Unless
you sign at once, 1 shall go to the
moulder and report the non. burial of
body for four days, and you will lose
your place." The zabit was defeated,
and signed at once.

EASTERN NEWS.
Latest last night from Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, June 14th.-The Com
mittee on Rules has agreed toni ght
to recomm end rule to the Conven-
tion, forbidding any changing of the
vote of State, after it is once de-
clared, until the next succeeding bal
lot. The argument for this is that it
will prevent the carrying of any NOM
ination by sudden stampede, and
lessen the danger of fraud or mistake.
1t was opposed as changing all prece-
dent.
Sargent's strong resolution against
admission to citizenship of the Pagan,
non-assimilating Chinee has not yet
been discussed before the Committee
on Resolutions.
Late this evening there were omi-
nous rumors of new combinations
against Blaine. The ostensible prop
osition is to draw votes from Blaine
and Morton in favor of Hayes and
Hartranft. The real aim is to try and
keep Pennsylvania and Ohio away
from Blaine on the first three ballots,
in the hope that if Blaine fails of a
majority then, his forces will break
and Conkling's canvass can be re-
newed with success. Even if this in
trigue beats Blaine, Conkling's profit
by it is improbable.
CINCINNATI, June 15-1 A. M. The
Committee on Resolutions met at 7
O'Clock last evening, and remained in
session until after II. Much time was
spent in the discussion of the financial
question, polygamy and Southern and
Chinese questions. No conclusion
was arrived at concerning them, and
most of them were referred to SUBJ
committees of or Z, whose conclu-
sions will probably be accepted by
fnll committee, which will meet at 8
O'Clock to-day. 1t is believed that the
conclusion which will be reached on
the financial question will be satisfac-
tory to hard money men. AS regards
the Chinese, it is doubtful if any sat.
isfactory settlement can be had.
About the Southern question COM
paratively little was said. The dis
cussion on these points was animated
but not quarrelsome.
The Convention.
CINCINNATI, 15th.-The convention
was called to order at IL o'clock, the
hall being well filled with delegates
and the galleries about half full of
spectators.
A misunderstanding in regard to
the hour of reassembling caused some
confusion and delay in the order of
proceedings.
The Committee on credentials re-
ported against the Spencer delegation
from Alabama ana admitting that of
Harolson, thus adding materially to
Blaine's strength and proportionately
weakening Morton.
Also in favor of ousting Governor
STEMS delegation from Florida and
admitting the Conover crowd. A gain
for Conkling and loss to Blaine.
Also against Fred Douglass and
Sheppard in District of Columbia.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15th.-The
| break in the stock market yesterday
| is the main talk of California street
and as usual any amount of wild ru-
mors are afioat, one which was so per-
sistently circulated that it gained
some believers was that our Consoli-
dated Virginia showed falling off in
the yield in some $40 per ton. A re-
porter in order to obtain information
concerning the reports visited the Of
flee of Flood & O'Brien. Both gentle
men were there and both seemed con-
siderably annoyed at the rumors
and said there was no reason
for it in the world so far as we know,
and we think we know about the
mine, why there should be such a
decline. Everything is looking splen-
didly and we shall soon be turning
out the usual amount of bullion. o.
Brien said l think this is the least in

but assessments and with no money

the Consolidated and California that

magnificent bodies of ore in sight and
millions in their treasury keeps going

amount of it is there is nobody oper-
ating now that has sagacity enough
to direct affairs or take the lead in
intelligent speculation. Most of the
leading operators are away and the
market has fallen into the hands of a
set of fellows who buy to-day to sell
tomorrow and vice versa. call them
the skirmish line. They don't look
further ahead than their noses and
the considerations of breakfast and
dinner will make them turn their ven-
lures between the boards. These are
not the fellows to give tone to the
market and the fact is we have no
market for good reliable investments.
They sell dividend paying stock in
order next day. That is the kind of
operations we have now and as long
as they have control of things it wont
be much better. The reporter re-
marked "Mr. O'Brien there is report
that your firm are sellers of the Con-
solidated Virginia. Is that so?" o.
Brien replied mo sir, we are not sell
