FarrOn's ssSOap Bubble'' at the
Grand Opera House.
T. j. Farron, the we'll known comedi-
an, will present his latest musical farce
comedy, entitled A Soap Bubble, on Tues
day evening at the Grand Opera House.
Mr.. Farron has received the highest of
praise from the press in every city. The
Soap Bubble is said to be one of the fun
niest comedy attractions now on the
road. The New York Mail, in speaking
of A Soap Bubble says:
The piece is as flimsy as it's title, and
as full OF light and color. 1t kept large
audience we'll amused throughout the
evening, and though it did not demon
strate that Mr.. Farron is an actor of re-
markable parts, it proved that he is a
comedian who is capable of carrying a
play pretty we'll by himself. His great
popularity was shown by his cordial re-
ception, and laughter prevailed all the
time he was on the stage. He is capably
supported, and he sang his we'll known
songs, Remember, boy, you are Irish
and Mr.. Macarty," besides enlivening
the performance by other specialties.
There is plenty of other music, and Mr..
E.. j. Connolly, Miss Dolly Foster and
Miss Virginia Ross distinguished them
selves in the more prominent roles.

How the Union Pacific Will
Reach the City.
MORE DELAYS BY WASHOUTS.
The CreasOting Works in Opera

Depot Gossip.

So much has been written about the
road to be built between this city and
Salt Lake and so little apparently done
in the matter that the reading public are
naturally rather conservative about
receiving information on the subject.
Private information, however, in posses
sion of a HERALD man is to the effect
that the Union Pacific has at last
definitely decided to go ahead. 1t will
be remembered that they have already
let the contracts for extending the Utah
Central road from Milford to the
State line, and, as announced in
these columns, surveys into South
ern California have long since been
made. 1t has hitherto not been known
how the line would enter Los Angeles,
but the company has now determined to
make connection either with the South
ern Pacific at Mojave or the Santa Fe
system at Barstow, and build an indie
pendent line afterwards. From the one
of those two points decided on traffic ar
rangements will be made with the COM
pany which controls the metals, and in
this manner will the cars of the U. P.
enter and leave the city. 1t is probable
than an arrangement will be made by
which the contracting company (either
the Santa Fe or the S. P. will handle all
the Union Pacifc's local business,
and give them carte blanche for
the overland traffic, as it will
be necessary to have some manner in
which goods from points like Santa Ana,
Riverside, ETC., can be shipped. There
seems to be little doubt but that harbor
facilities will be obtained by means of
the Campbell Road, which runs from
this city to Dead Mans Island and
which at that point have water facilities
equal to those possessed blythe Southern
Pacific. 1t will be good thing for Los
Angeles and Southern California when
this project is realized as the presence of
another overland comp etitor will tend to
stir up the business interests of the COM
munity, and in addition to this in its
journey to this southern country the
Union Pacific will open up one of the
richest sections of country on the Pacific
Coast.

Lots of Excursions to the Pleasure

A good many excursionists are leaving
the city for Yosemite and the lakes high
up in the Sierras, and since the reduction
in the round trip rates the travel has be-
come unusually heavy. Mr.. Steere, the
cordial Passenger Agent of the
Southern Pacific, is working
up the excursions,j and is a
good man for that sort of work, as may
be judged by the following description oi
Lake Tahoe, written by him: "In the
high Sierras up among the pines is Lake
Tahoe, 6216 feet above sea level, thirty
miles long, fifteen wide, and depth ol
1000 feet. A matchless sheet of water
nestled in the bosom of noble mountains
on whose wooded slopes, softly carpeted
by the gently fallen leaves, roams the de.
lighted visitor, drinking the delicious
fragrance of the balsam of the pines,
whose nodding heads, swayed by gentle
mountain breezes, seem whispering, one
to the other, secrets of grave import"

BERLIN, July 2S.-The interview bs-
tween Emperor William and King Chris
tian of Denmark has special Importance
as associated with the settlement of the
family questio connected with the Bull
garian throne. The King appears to
have given his assent to the creation of a
Bulgarian monarchy, with Prince Walda-
mar, or the Duke OF Cumberland, on the
throne. The Duke of Cumberland had
decisively rejected the offer which was
made to him through Prince Bismarck.
In his note refusing to accept the
crown he declared the p roposal an insult
to him as legitimate King Of Hanover,
and expressed the hope that he is des-
tined to see the King of Prussia reduced
to his proper level. King Christian of
Denmark advises Prince Waldamar to
accept the throne of Bulgaria if the
entente between the European powers
is perfected. 1t is also asserted in GER
tain circles that Prince Ferdinand will
be assisted to maintain his position in
Bulgaria.
THE PROTEST OF THE VATICAN
Against the visit of Emperor William
to Rome has proved effective. Cardinal
Galamberti, Papal Nuncio of Vienna, is
reported to have secretly seen Prince
Bismarck at Freidrichsrune. Bismarck
has assented to proposal to have
Galamberti meet Emperor William in
Berlin and ask him personally to forego
his visit to Rome. One result of the
Vatican's diplomatic triumph is that
Minister Crispi has sent instructions to
the Italian embassy in Paris to instigate
negotiations for commercial treaty with
France. Berlin official circles strongly
distrust the italian government on ac-
count of its relations with France.

Jealous Citizens.

Jealous C1tiZenS.
SAN Francisco, July 2S.-A Tulare dis.
patch to the Chronicle says the people OF
that place are much incensed at the evil
dent intention of moving the seat OF
the Southern Methodist Episcopal Con-
ference, which meets in September, from
that city to Pasadena. The citizens
believe that all the requirements, such
as free entertainment for delegates, and
other matters pertinent to the holding
of the Conference at Tulare, have been
met by them, and this alleged deter
mination on the part of the Church Of
ficials to disregard their claims causes
much indignation. Among several
reasons given why the Conference should
be held at Pasadena is said to be the
resolutions passed by the preachers
in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara
and San Diego counties setting forth their
impoverished condition, and asking that
the Conference be transferred. 1t is said
the question of expense was thoroughly
canvassed at the last session of Confer
ence, when by vote Tulare was elected.

TRAIN TIME.
The Northern Schedule Should be
Shortened UD.

1ne NOTIneIn SCneOuIe SnOuI0 DC
Shortened Up.
Train No. 20, the Pacific overland, was
bulletined seven hours late last night, so
special train for San Francisco was
made up and left the city at 80 P. M. for
San Francisco. The cause of the delay
10 the overland was another washout in
Arizona, where the rains have been un-
usually heavy of late.
Train No. II, from San Francisco, was
four hours late yesterday morning. No
cause for delay is given, and the only
thing known of it here is that she was re-
ceived late on this division. The passen-
ger service between San Francisco and
this city is remarkably irregular, and it
looks as if the time schedule could be
overhauled with good account. 1t is a
well-known fact that on the southern
journey the engineers think nothing OF
making up an hour and a-half between
Mojave and this city, and there is no
reason why this fast travel should not
become an established thing. Then
again on going north the passenger train
stands ten minutes at Saugus Junction.
The only reason given for this is that
once upon time that delay was neces-
sary on account of the Santa Barbara
connections and the schedule has not
been altered since the new running ar
rangements over that road. The stop
page is evidently not necessity,
for the other morning the Santa
Barbara southbound and No. 18
stood side by side for ten minutes with
no other reason than the one above
given. The idea of fast special service
between the city and San Francisco ap-
pears to have fallen throught. It.is pity,
for it is greatly needed and would be we'll
appreciated.
