NEw YoRK, July 3O.-The Times in a re,

has the following: While the expectation
that the strike will be settled helps to tus
tain Western Union, its continuance proves
great drag on the market. Its influence
is wholly depressing, and there is no dis
gaisng the fact. Mr.. Gould holds the
price Of the stock about so, as was an,ici

business. Ills immense holdings OF the

and therefore its receipts, has fallen off
over 80 per cent from the day Of the strike.
Tie fact OF the falling of has been urged as
Il circumstance inimcal to the strikers,
because the reduced calls upon the com.

It's present small force OF operators, but this
is a very one.sided view OF the matter.
The reduced volume OF business does not
reduce the amount Of Western Union stock

In the battle which for several years
has been going on between guns and
iron -platod ships very decided advant-
age has been secured recently for the
former. As matter of course this is
due to the inventive genius of an Amer
lean. The new weapon is called the
"multi.charge gum" because tho pro-
jectile is impelled by charges which, one
after another, explode behind it as it
passes along the bore of the gun. The
inertia of the proiectile is overcome by
q charge of burning powder, while
! the succeeding charges are of quick
Ssurning powder. In the great single
charge guns of Armstrong and Krupp
the greatest charge of powder which can
be used must not exceed one.fifth of the
weight of the proiectile; in the new gun
e charge weighing one and a quarter
times more than the shot is practicable.
1t does not need the knowledge of an
artillery man to comprehend the i'm
mense advantage of the multi-charge
gun. Within ordinary fighting range a
projectile from ten .inch gun of this
kind would 90 smashing through the
side of the heaviest plated ironclad as
though she had no armature at all. A
test has been had at the navy-yard at
Washington between five.inch Whit
worth gun and a multi-charge gun of
half that caliber. The target, of wrought
iron plates five inches thick, backed by
eighteen inches of oak, was two hundred
yards away. The English gun was
charged with eighteen pounds of powder
and the shot weighed ninety pounds.
AT the third round the gun was split,
but no one of the shots had entirely
penetrated the target, The multi-charge
gun was loaded with six pounds and
three quarters OF powder, the projectile
weighing nineteen pounds and three
quarters. The projectiles passed through
the target and struck the water one
hundred yards beyond it. This invention
will bring grief to .he souls of Chandler,
Robson, Roach and Company, for, with
our coasts guarded by the requisite
number of ten-inch multi-charge guns
we shall not need navy to repel foreign
iron clads. And, at present, it does not
seem possible that the weight OF ships
armor can be increased further

District, held on Monday, it was resolv-
ed to call at an early day mass meet.
ing of citizens, for the purpose of APP
pealing to the public for pecuniary aid
in meeting tho expenses of the coming
fair. As We remarked few days ago,
the aid extended by the public last year
was sufficiently substantial to insure
success. The population of our city
and county is now greater than 1t was
at this time last year by at least twenty
per cent, wherefore n reasonable hope
Is entertained by the directors that an
increased public subsidy win enable
them to surpass even their efforts of last
year. All alike, the merchant and the
mechanic the capitalist in the city and
the farmer in the country, are interested
In the success of the fair. To many an
Angele1o the occasion will BIO the means
Of putting to the credit side of his bank
account very much more money than he
will BIO expected to give. 1t is well
known that our citizens are liberal
minded, rnd we are warranted in ex.
pressing the belief that the meeting,
which has been called for the evening of
Thursday, June 9TH, viii be well attend
ed, not only by the s'solid men" of Los
Angeles, but by all interested in the
success Of the fair. We understand that
1t Is the purpose of the board to have
the matter fully brought before the pub
lilo, not only by some of its members,
but by gentlemen thoroughly conversant
with the merits of the case, and sym.
pathizing fully with the cause. We be-
lieve that it is the intention to have the
fair take place after the close of the
four great northern gatherings of
Sacramento, Oakland, Stockton, and
San Jose. The owners OF fine stock
residing in the district, especially those
of our own county, will send their best
animals to those places. and this arrange
rhent will enable them to bring them
home again in time for our own fair.
A fair in Los Angeles without represen-
tation from the establishments of our
great breeders would be like the play OF
Hamlet with the title-role omitted.
The animals bred on the stock farms of
Los Angeles are the equals of any in
the State or the country at large. At
the same time famous animals FROM other
districts will be brought hither also, and
our people will enjoy the advantage of
Seeing them.

(Riverside Press and Hortlculturist.,

A private dispatch to the Press and
Hortieulturist of Thursday evening,
May oath, states that the above com.
pany "have ordered immediate survey
of the line from the Needles to Cotton. >
This will be cheering news to Southern
California, and will give a new impetus
to the dropping spirits of San Diegans
and those who have been longing for an
Eastern outlet ON or near the 35th
parallel.
We understand the company are
grading the line east from Cotton, and
that a suit is now pending in the present
term OF the county court for the right OF
way to cross the track OF the Southern
Pacific at Cotton, which the Southern
people have been denying. No doubt
permission will be granted to the Allan.
