small sermon.
Washington, June 12-Senator Conkling,
who was here for four days, procured his
passport for Europe through the subordinates
of the State Department, as his relation
with Evarts precluded any personal inter
course with that gentleman. During COnk-
ling's stay here it is said by his intimate
friends that he did not call at the White
House, nor did he meet any member Of the
administration; and further, that he has alb
stained entirely from recommendations of
any nature in behalf of persons who seek
Presidential favors, leaving himself free to
oppose or support the President when Con-
gress meets, as he may see fit.
Los Angeles, June 12.-An immense fire
is raging in the mountains between here and
Santa Monica and has already burned over
thousands of acres, destroying number of
dwelling houses together with barns and
other buildings. The people in the neighbor-
hood have been fighting it constantly since
Saturday afternoon, but the strong winds, to-
gether with the scarcity of water, have rem
dered their efforts futile 1t is now sweep
ing down upon the plains, and by tonight,
if its progress is not stayed, will have con-
sumed great deal of valuable property. Be
tween four and six miles are now OH fire, and
the residents of the vicinity are exhausted
and discouraged. No loss of human life has
yet been reported.

We are lavish Let the voice of those who
ask that these railroad people shall abandon
their own interests not only in the carrying
tariff but in their timber production and sup

taxes Let the Comstotk import its timbers
from Truckee and where will the money for
those timbers be disbursed? Those moneys

solving the question Of the permanence Of our

Railroad D0ings.

The reports Of the gross earnings OF
twenty-three railroads from january ] to
June 30, 1877, show loss compared
with the same period Of 1876 of S222l :
3GG, or about 6per cent But an analy-
sis of the reports shows that fourteen
roads, earning 1897 800 in 1876, have
lost S2,SO6, O99, or about 10 per cent,
while nine roads which in 1876 earned
81 ,G33 400, have gained 1851, 233. OF
thirteen roads whose earnings are only
reported up to May 81, nine have lost
81 800, 462 and four have gained Sl7l,
1926. 1t is noticeable fact that the
roads reporting again are principally
those in the southwest; the prominent
exception the Canada Southern. Those
showing loss include Lake Shore, Penn,
sylvania Philadelphia and Erie, Chicago
and Alton and Chicago Milwaukee and
st. Paul. If to this list could he added
the reports Of such railroads "a the Cen
tral and Hudson, Michigan Central,
Northwestern, Rock Island etc, il can
not be doubted that the losses would
swell to more than double the sum re-
ported. On this subject the New York
