San LUIS OBIspo, April pa
letter from Congressman William
Vandever, of this district, dated the
18th inst, was received by Vice
President Jasper Turner, of the Board
of Trade to-day. 1t contains import
ant information concerning the har-
Dor improvements urgently required
at Port Hartford. He says: ''The
Engineers Office has given es-
Inmates on the cost of constructing
a breakwater on Whaler's Reef in San
Luis Obispo Bay, but did not recon-
mend an appropriation to be made
this year. The utmost we could in
duce the Committee to sanction was
$1,000 for commencingswolk. That
amount is inserted in the bill and
may possibly be increased by the
Senate. There is strong opposition
in the House to passing the
River and Harbor bill. The Tariff
bill would occupy the House for sew
eral weeks. At the last session Con-
gress appropriated $4,000 for light
house at Port Hartford. That appro-
priation being available, the Light
house Board are taking steps for its
construction, and the work will be
pushed to completion as rapidly as
practicable" Vandever intends to
introduce bill to make Port Hartford

DR.. Tremaine, physician for the

stated to a HERALD reporter before
his departure that his mission was for
the purpose OF arranging with the
company for the establishment of the
railroad hospital here. He said that
he was almost certain that he would
be successful, as a very liberal offer
had been made by a resident
of Boyle Heights regarding site, and
many other persons in the viciaity
would also hold out inducements to
the company. He says that the
structure that he desires will be a
brick and stone building with a 'front.'

about three acres. The administra-

pleted, be capable Of accommodating
about seventy-fve patients.

a month as he will in all probability
visit the Medical Convention at Gin

"Thc Lady OF Lyons.D

Mrs. Brown Potter appeared last
night in the character of pauline"
in Bulwer's impassioned love drama.
The part is better suited to her style
than is that Of "Inez" in the sombre
and jejune play of Loyal Lore. Her
love for the bogus prince was as in
tense and exuberant in its expression
as the most spoony juvenile could
wish. She has peculiar manner of
reading which is not very satisfying
to the ear. Her cadences rise and
fall in way that smothers
the lower tones out of audible enunci-
alton. One suspects that her range of
voice is not equal to the sustentation
of tones that can be heard from the
lowest to the highest exegencies OF
stage expression. Therefore, much OF
the authors meaning is lost to the
audience and that is defect of no
small gravity. Mrs. Potter betrays
the fact that she is not a
trained professional in many Of
her attitudes and gestures. and
ESPECIALLY in the closed fist where the
open palm and extended digits would
be en- regle. Her back-bending, too,
at times is excruciatingly out Of
a-plomb. Mr.. Bellows "Claude" was
not striking success. He should not
justify his act of perfdy to the girl
he has betrayed in indignant
tones when he tells her she has
trampled on the worm," etc. All
recognized "Melnottes" preserve tow
ards her, to the end, tone tinctured
"more with sorrow than with anger"
Mr.. Bellows monotone becomes very
monotonous. 1t lacks fire, vigor and
variety. Yet his presence on the
stage is not unpleasant. Tonight The
Lady of Lyons will be repeated.
