IT will be seen, by the Sacra-
mento correspondence of the San
Francisco Pos', published Oh our
fourth page, that the Central and
Southern Pacific Railways are pre-
pairing to fight the railway bills Of
the Transportation ommissioners
to the knife. This opposition
shows how faithfully those gentle
men did their work from the pop
ular standpoint. No one con-
tributed more heartily or indefati-
gably to both report and bills than
Gen. George Stoneman, of Los An
geles county, who is the President
Of the Commission.

AT the same time that little
rough water is chronicled of our
Southern California harbors of
Wilmington and Santa Monica, it
should not be forgotten that posi-
tive disasters are reported of the
harbor Of San Francisco itself. A
little Inconvenience is all that has
SO far, in notably turbulent
Winter, been reported of any bay
below San Buenaventura. 1t is
much to be able to say this, and OF
itself 1t conveys high compliment
to the placidity of our waters.
There has been no hint, during the
past severe gales, at either Will
mington or Santa Monica, of the
"breakers inside Of the heads"
which have worked such dire dis
aster in the Golden Gate within
the past few days.

Lamar and the BIana Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Lamar's
able and emphatic speech against
the Bland silver bill was considered
the more remarkable because he
represents the repudiating State of
Mississippi, whose Legislature fails
to pass resolutions instructing her
Senators to vote for the silver
scheme only because of the GER
tainty that Lamar would disobey
them. Senator Conkling's absolute
failure hitherto to declare publicly
or privately his position on the
question is cOntrasted with Lamar's
outspoken boldness. 1t is not
thought possible, however, that he
will defy the overwhelming senti-
ment of both parties in his State,
yet there are some who are uneasy
about his vote for BANDS scheme.
Texas Pacific Argument Continued
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26th.-The
argument on the Texas Pacific
Railroad question was resumed
this morning before the House
Committee on Pacific Railroads.
Storrs having finished his state
ment of the legal points upon
which the Southern Pacific of Cali
fornia desired the right to build
through to Ell Paso, Gov. J. G.
Brown, Vice. President of the Texas
Pacific road, discussed fully the
broad general questions which had
governed the policy of the govern
ment in aiding the construction of
commercial highways. The Texas
Pacific, he said, had built already
445 miles of road, without a dollar
of aid from the government, and
justice required the extension of
the aid asked for by it, as the IN
ion and Central Pacific Companies
had received $50, 600, 900 of bonds
and 100000 acres Of land; the
Northern Pacific 100000 acres
and the Texas Pacific only 1S,0O0,-
900 acres, no portion of which the
latter could receive until after it
built one thousand miles through
Texas.
Thomas A. Scott, President of
the Texas and Pacific Railroad,
briefly reviewed the grounds upon
which the government and people
would secure q through competing
line. He showed that with the
present prices of labor and materi-
al and the ability to
tho bonds of the COM
pany at par, which would be
secured by the Government en-
1orssment of the interest thereon,
he whole amount of annual in
crest to be paid out of the earn |
ngs of the line would be less than |
2, 600, 900, while the present trans
railroad has to earn

A Fighter from Phoebe.
Virginia City Chronicle.)


4 man came into the Chronicle
office this morning and announced
that his name was Sandy Stiggins
from Phoebe. He was six feet high,
had revolver strapped to his Hip,
and carried q formidable looking
rifle. After introducing himself he
inquired where the Justice mine
could be found.
"You see, I've walked all the
way from Phoebe to git sit as a
fighter, and il can't fill the bill
there amt no man In Nevada that
can"
He was informed that the chances
of getting job as fighter at the
Justice were rather slim as the
Miners Union had discharged the
entire gang of both mines. This
information seemed to strike him
like the news of the sudden death
Of O bosom friend.
HEou don't mean to say that they
amt goin to fightI You don't tell
me that they have drawed off. II
they have it's mighty rough on d
man that't walked all the way from
Phoebe to take a hand.n
"You might not have got a job,
even if they did fight" suggested
a reporter.
"What? Sandy Stiggins not get
. job as a fighter? The minute
they'd hear my name mentioned
they'd begin biddin' for my SER
vices. The crowd that had me
with 'em would feel safe. I'm old

A Calling battery amt no oompar,
ison to Sandy Stiggips climbin'

Just then Flea-bite, a small cur
that belongs to the office, came in
and recognizing the stranger as a
suspicious character, sprang at his
legs with series Of savage yelps.
Mr.. Stiggins jumped about three
feet In the air, yelling, " Take him
off! Oh, LordI / amt a-dog
fighter! Take him offW and finally
rushing through the door like u
wild Indian, the Phoebe fighter
disappeared down Taylor street,
leaving Flea-bits barking at the
door.

does not specify a sum in gold or
its then market equivalent, thus
making gold and greenbacks prac-
tically interconvertible. The banks
of New Orleans, Charlestown, st.
Louis, Cincinnati and most of the
Chicago banks have indicated their
sympathy with the project as
means Of securing safety against
cheap silver demonstration. 1t is
urged that the effect will be to
compel all commercial business to
be done oil gold basis. Nobody
will be obliged to buy any more
gold, as paper can be received at
its market value. The man who
obtains loan or makes O draft
takes the chances instead of the
bank.
Since the Eastern war
began the demand from
Europe, especially England, for
some descriptions of leather has
greatly increased. One Of the re-
suits, it is said, has been the clos
ing up of large number of the
German tanneries. Within two
months large shipments Of leather,
principally sole, have been made
to Russia and the price has mate
rally advanced.
The supply, it is reported, has
kept up with the unusual demand,
although the attempt to defeat the
cigar makers long strike by the
importation of Chinese workmen,
failed here. The strike itself has
collapsed after four months strug-
gle and an enormous waste of
money. The men are generally
seeking work again at manufac-
turers' terms.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-Your cores
pondent's prophesies have become
historical. The war has ended.
Russia has triumphed. The Otto
NAH power is crushed without
British intervention and peace is
substantially concluded upon terms
which precludes England's particle
patton in shaping them. Russia
also has vindicated the pre-
diction that she would 10 adjust
her policy as to deprive England Of
the opportunity for the interference
which Disraeli so eagerly sought.
Since Turkey accepts the condition
exacted it is hardly possible that
British sentiment will tolerate any
proposition for single handed effort
by England against Russia to de-
feat either the freedom of the Dard-
annelles to the Cars ships or
Russian occupation of Armenia as
security for the war indemnity.
England can better afford to loan
the Porte the money to settle the
indemnity than to spend it in war.
If British sentiment fails to see
sufficient menace to English inter-
ests in Russian occupation of Ash
attic Turkey to justify that direct
appeal to British pockets, it will
not see anything worth fighting
for at still greater expense. Though
the Czar's terms of peace may at
first seem harsh, the Turks precip-
itate acceptance of them indicates
that he sees how much easier they
are than he would have made if
himself had been the victor. The
money indemnity is only one.tenth
of that e4acted by Germany from
France. Russia's freedom Of the
Dardanelles, though apparently
exacted from Turkey, is really ex-
acted from England, the only Eu-
ropean power having any interest
in opposing it. Turkey cares moth
ing for it herself, and the Porte is
doubtless delighted to coucede what
will annoy an old ally who failed
him in his extremity. AS Eng
land did not fight for the whole
Treaty of Paris, she will not for
the fragment Of it. The war is
ended.

WE are confronted in Los Ange-
les with the question as to whether
or no we shall have our streets
lighted. Already the contract
with the Los Angeles Gas Com
pany has expired. Unless it is
renewed we shall be treated to
the spectacle of city which has to
submit to a large tax levy being
without the ordinary conveniences
of even the modern village. With
Los Angeles full of 'tramps and
desperate characters, vending ones
way home at night without any
light whatever would prove to be
a very dlsagreeable experience.
We must have light, let it be pro-
cured how it may. Of course, we
believe in getting the best and
least expensive terms possible from
the Gas Company, but the ne.
cessity for street lamps is plain to
the dullest comprehension. In the
original contract with the Gas
Company, We bound ourselves as a
condition of their removing their
works, if we lighted the streets at
all, to light them with the gas OF
this corporation for three years to
come. The meeting of yesterday
having been without results, we
suggest to the Council that they
should arrange some solution OF
the matter satisfactory to a light
loving community. Make the best
terms you can consistently with
the contract of two years ago, but,
in the language of Genesis, "let
there be light"
