I'd States Circuit Court yesterday, Judge
Brewer presiding, the application of G..
II. Venner for restraining order to pre-.
vent the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad Company from extending its
line to Chicago, and also to enjoin it
from guaranteeing bonds of the Atlantic
and Pacific Company, was argued. The
Court refused to grant the restraining
order as to the Chicago line, and in.
formed counsel that NO further argumenr
need be made on the subject. This
morning he also decided the Atlantic
and Pacific case infavor of the company,
refusing to grant restraining order.
The grounds of his decision were that
Venner had failed to show any emer.

Court in his behalf, and that the princi
pies had been established by former
decision of the Supreme Court of Kan
sas and in the United States Court, that

City OF MsxIco, November 24.--An
important bill has been framed and sent
to Congress by special commission ap-
pointed by the Department of Publ ic
Works, to consider the best remedy for
overcoming the evils resulting from the
depreciation Of silver. The commission
sakes the grounAthat the productien Of
silver must be- cheapened SO as 70 di-
minish the LOSE it incurred in exchange
Ing it for foreign goods. The cor1nis-
sioners favor giving new impetus to
agriculture by lowering the duties on
farming implements, and think that
premiums should,be paid on certain arti-
cles of export. The bill exempts from
all taxation, federal, municipal, or local,
all coal, iron and quicksilver mines for
the term of FAY years. 1t also
limits taxation OF every kind on
other minerals never TO exceed tive
per cent. of the value of the gross pro-
duct. According. to. the terms of the
bill no interior duties can be placed ~
States on mining productions. and reduc-
tion works are to be assessed but for, .
single tax, not to exceed six dollars per
thousand on the yalue of the sropersy
and machinery. The President is EN-
powered to granS special mining priv.
ieges. and the capital so invested to be
exempt from every tax but the stamp
tax. The goods exempt from ell duties
embrace score of articles importsd
from the UniteA States aud England,
and taxes on certain articles usedin
mining and agriculture are largely -
duced. Premiums are to be awarded on
the value of esnorts Of silk, tobacco,
tibres medicinal plaats, onyx, marbls.
rubber, resin, gums, etc. The passage
OF this bill will. it is thought. give
powerful impetls-to the already incress-
ing agriculture of the country and
stimulate the investments of foreign
capital in mining. operations.

Surveyor Generals Report.

San Francisco, November 24.-The
report oe Surveyor.G General Wiley for
two years ending August |, 1886, just
issued, says: That it is his belief
that all State lands known to
be timbered lands, should be with.
held from sale entirely, and that con-
current resolution should be adopted at
the next session of our Legislature re.
questing our delegates in Congress to
endeavor to secure the passage of bill
Withdrawing from sale all United States
lands returned and known to be timber
lands. He made this recommendation
because of the fact that the denuding of
the mountain sides of their forests is re.
ducing the amount of water in the
springs and water courses along their
sides, aud rendering disastrous floods
possible by too sudden precipitation of
winter rains into different water courses.

This excruciating tumble of broad hu-

last night. The house was good one,
SO far as nambers 90. In the matter OF
appreciation it must have been still
more satisfactory. As the fun, which
all along runs at fever heat, developed
into the fast and furious pace, it soon

the au dience became aproarious in its
demonstrations.
1t is a thing utterly impossible te
analyze the play. There is no
synthesis in it, and therefore can
not be taken apart. All through there
is an eye single to one purpose-that is
fun. The company starts out with the

they hold on TO that idea. 1t matters

Train Men I'm Texas Waut Ger

HoUsToN, Texas, November 24.-For
several days past trouble has existed be-
tween the train-men of the Southern Pa
ctic Company and the Atlantic system
and their officials. Last Saturday night
committee of brakemen visited New
Orleans to present their grievances and
arbitrate with the managers of the COM
pany regarding wages. The railroad au.
thorities, in order to definitely settle the
big strike last winter, entered into an
agreement with the brak emen, which
the latter claim is not now being en-
forced, and assert that unless the matter
is soon rectified they will strike again.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive EDgin.
GERS has also appointed a committee to
visit the Crescent City and arbitrate the
difficulties existing between them and
the company. 1t is claimed that two
engineers were unjustly discharged by
master mechanic. The officials of the
company state that the action of the
master mechanic must be sustained. The
engineers state that theyare in the right
and unless the difficulty is amicably set
tied, strike will be the result.

Francisco Ruiz, of the Canon de San

Encinas ranch, made complaint against
his two brothers, Augustin and Felipe
Ruiz, on the 22nd, for having disturbed
his peace on the 18th. inst. Constable
Arguello on Tuesday went out with a
brother in-law to make the arrest.
When he got to the house, which is in a
deserted and rocky place, far away from
all neighbors, and made known his er.
rand, Santiago Ruiz, the father of the
men, came out with an axe and swore
that no -- could take his sons
away from him. A struggle ensued in
which Arguello was cut and bruised on
the left wrist with the axe. With the
aid of his brother-in-law the Constable
arrested the two brothers and, after the
old man was properly subdaed, took
him along also. On the way back the
whole family. consisting OF the elder
prisoners wife with two months babe

followed the vehicle and rent the air

of theia father. Finally Arguello's com.

THE SIXTH STREET PARK.
A Place Of which Los Angeles
Has Reason to be Proud.

For number of years the so.called
park at Sixth and Hull streets was the
laughipg stock of the people liviLg in
that vicinity. 1t was generally called
the malva patch and that was not a
mlsnomer; for malva and wild mustard
were about the only verdure to be seen
in it after the spring rains. An ugly
whitewashed lath fence did not enhance
the general appearance OF this "oasis,
which was only frequented by nurse
girls and their charges, or by men hunt
ing for work and praying to heaven
that work should not hunt them. Some
time ago the Council made up their
as well be used to beautify the city as
to act as eyesores and with that view the
Plaza squire, hitherto a plague spot and
hot bed of scale bugs, besides being the
snoozing place OF dirty tramps and
filthy vagabonds was thoroughly cleaned,
remodeled and beautified. In short
time the Plaz, will be a credit to any
city, and when Chinatown has been re.
moved from its present location and Los
Angeles street extended down to Ala.
media street the square will undoubtedly
be pleasant place to visit. Sixth
street park is undergoing a similar meta
morphosis. The malva, the mustard
and the other weeds which made it look
like spot picked up as a sample from
some uncultivated region sixty miles
away, have been cleared away. A
number of the infested trees have been
cut down and burned. The zanja that
meandered through the place and some.
times inundated it has been removed.
The sod has been turned and fertilized
and the alleys are being strongly defined
and covered with beautiful heavy yellow
gravel. When the season shall be atd
the right point, grass will be sown to
cover the nake1ness of the soil, exotic
and domestic flowers and shrubs will be
planted in it, and the park from. will
derness will become a pride to the fine
part of the city in which it is situated. |
An elegant iron fence should take the |
place Of the old hen coop fence which |
now encircles the park. the work,
however, of beautifying this place will
not be concluded until the temperance |
of the flowers that bloom in the spring. |

A wild craze has struck Leadville over
a new electric indicator that is used to
determine the location, from surface OBJ

bodies. 1t is the invention of promi-
nent electrician of Boston and is con-
tiucted upon the theory that the
strong electric currents known to be in

utilized to locate The latter. The
machine is q simple affair con.
