their time to improving railway appli-

1t is stated that Mr. Morley, Chief
Secretary for ireland, has SO instructed
the police and military authorities as tc
virtually render it impossible to effect
eyictions. Mr.. Morley has hitherto
done well, and mas quite satisfied the
expectations Of the Irish party. The
permanent officers of Dublin Castle are
horriied at his way Of going on. One
OF them, holding very high position,
rushed over to London q few days ago
with wild endeaver to get Mr. Morley
restrained. The endeayer was total
failure, Mr.. Gladstone Is determined
TO give Mr.. Morley every chauce.
Mr.. Gladstone is said to have caused
an intimation to be conveyed to Mr.
Parnell and his principal colleague. to
The effect that if they frame scheme
of Irish Home Rule, from the Nation
alist standpoint, it viii be carefully ex-
amined by the Cabinet. The Radical
papers assert that Mr.. Gladstone's let
tiers TO members of both Houses, for
suggestions On the new form of gov
ernmgnt for Ireland, are being respond
ed TO III q gratifying manner. Mr..
Gladstone3s private secretaries are tab
uiating and classifying the suggestions.
Nationalist journals point cut the ab-
sardity Of asking suggestions on meas
ures the main principles of which they
insist have been settled.
Archbishop Walsh has written to Mr..
Gladstone that the Irish Bishops con
slider that the result of the elections
answered Mr.. Gladstohe's appeal to the
Irish people to speak out He says
the Bishops believe that Home Rule
would not affect the Union or the SUI
prenaey of the Crown; and he urges
the suspension of evietions until the
land question has been settled.
At the last Cabinet Meeting, 1t is
said, progress was made with the draft
of the bill TO facilitate the purchase OF
land hy Irish tenant farmers, and the
question of q resolution authorizing
the Lord | lieutenant Of Ireland to sus-
pend the operation of the eviction laws
at the dis retion of the Executive, was
considered.

Underground Wires.

At the meeting of the City Council
last Wednesday night the question of
underground wires came up. The joint
committee on ordinances and fire de-
partment had reported faYorably to the
enforcement of an ordinance requiring
underground wire service of the Balti-
more Sc Ohio and the North American
Telegraph Companies, who have inti-
mated their intention TO extend their
lines TO Minneapolis. The Board OF:
Trade sent a COMMITTEES to the Council
representing that it w9uld not be to the
best interests Of the city to pass such
an ordinance. as it would tend to pre-
vent the companies mentioned from
bringing their lines here on account Of
the additional expense. On these
representations the matter was referred
back to the COMMITTEES on ordinances
along with an ordinance introduced By
Alderman George w Cooley. which
calls for a complete underground tele-
graph service within the following IifRa
its, viz. From Plymouth TO Cedar aveT
nnes, a few blocks back from the river
on both sides: requires all existing cons
panies to get their wires underground
before June lst, 1857; imposes simiiS
conditions upon all new eornpanis
coming into the city. aud prevents It'd
erection Of any more telegraph peIes ifis

day from their work, and that means in
all likelihood that they will lose their
situations. Secondly they will be.
obliged to abandon their homes in that
district OF the city adjacent to the motor

other portion Of the city. The
cruelty and injustice of this is
so apparent that the sense OF the
entire community rebels against it. If.
despite the protests that are being
made on all sides, General WashDurn
perseveres in his ill-advised course he
will bury himself politically and incur
the positive hatred and contempt of the
masses. We hope that when H. c.

to intervene some weighty influence to
reverse the action OF Washburn aud
his henchmen.

About a New Charter.

Hon. Z. W. Playter. Mayor of Oak
land, has addressed the following Letter
to Mayor Spence;
1.-THE City Council OF this city ha.
appointed committee of fifteer
citizens to recommend such iegis
lation as may seem desirable for the bet
ter government of this city, and to pre-
pare for submission to the Legislature
at its next session such bills as they
may deem necessary. The appointment
OF this committee is In accord with a
prevalent feeling of the people of thi:
city that we need a new charter-ths
laws under which our municipal govern
ment is organized having been enacted
many years ago and were adapted to the
wants of the small population then em
braced in our town. The act of the
legislature of March Is, 1888, providing
for the organization of municipal oorpo
ratioDs of the second class-having pop
ulation of more than 10000 and not sx
ceeding i00,000-is not in all respects
satisfactory, although it embraces the
main features of the charter that will be
acceptable to people of this city.
The committee appointed by our Coun.
oil has requested me TO correspond with
the Mayors Of Los Angeles aud Sacrs.
mento, in order to ascertain If those
cities will take any interest in objects
Contemplated by said committee.
Above cities are the only ones having
population to rank them as second class,
and ii citizens of Los Angeles are dis
satisfied with present municipal organ
ization and contemplate securing a new
charter, inasmueh as that can only be
done by enactment of a general law ap-
plicable to all cities of the same class,
the importance of cooperation in the
proceedings requisite to secure such
legislative action lie apparent.
beg to assure you OF the desire Of
our committee to confer with any SINH
larly organized body Of your citizens,
should there seem to be any occasion for
cooperation, with the hope Of agreeing
on a form of charter that will prove
mutually acceptable"
Mayor Spence referred the communi.
cation to the City Council, and it is now
in the hands OF committee of that
body, consisting Of Messrs. Holbrook,
Frankenfield, Breed. Perry and Goss,
and the City Attorney.

Quite an amusing scene was witnessed
by large number of persons last even
ing near the corner of Spring and Third
streets. 1t seems that some little boy
had found "a police whistle and, sitting
on the porch Of the house behind aomt
bushes, was amusing himself by blowing
it. Officers Gilbert and Manning, think
ing that some person was trying to foo
them, went from person to person de.
handing to know why they were blow
ing the police whistle. Finally it wa'
found to be caused by the innocent
child, and after warning to the child
the officers departed on their beat.
