Consideration of the Railroad For
feiture bill was resumed.
Palmer withdrew his preceding
amendment and offered another pro-
viding that nothing in the act shall
be construed to confirm any private
entry for land heretofore settled up
in and now claimed under color of the
Homestead or Presumption laws, but
that in all such cases the Commits
sioners of the General Land Office
and the Secretary of the Interior shall
hear and determine the claims of the
parties respectively by the provisions
ef existing laws.
Spooner opposed the latter amend
ment and the bill went over until
tomorrow.
The House bill to restore to the
public domain part OF the Uintah
valley Indian reservation, in Utah,
was taken from the calendar and
passed with some verbal amendments.
The Senate then resumed the con-
sideration of the bill TO provide for a

THE RAILROADS.
Departure Of Mr.. Hunting
ton for the East.
THE WRECK ON MT. TEHACHIPE
The Burlington Line to Carry
the Csast Republicans
to Chicago.

Mr.. G. P. Huntington left for the
East yesterday, going over the Gen.
trail Pacific line via Sacramento. Re-
garding his investigations here, the
Examiner maks the following COM
ments.
"WAether the presence of the mag
nate has in any way frightened tile
prospe ects of rapid completion of the
real from Templeton through San
Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara, it is
hard to say. The same is true Of the
proposed line between Los Angeles
and San Diego. The former under
taking will represent an outlay OF
some $3,OOO,000 and hard, tedious
work for considerable distance Of
the 100 miles OF track to be built.
Before Hrintington's arrival it was
given out that his visit would have
much to do with the selection OF one
of the two routes surveyed north OF
the Gaviota Pass. Just before leaving
the gentleman stated that there was
still much to do as to getting proper
route. and that the work of building
would go on but slowly.
In the case of the San Diego road it
seems certain that the Southern Pa
cific is not in any hurry to reach that
point. In fact, it comes from re-
liable source that Huntington would
much prefer that outside parties con-
struct the line and give his company
a traffic arrangement. Charles Crock
er was of different opinion until re-
Gently, when, on the occasion Of his
and Huntington's presence in the
Southern country, both Of them be-
came convinced that there was a
disposition among property-owners to
seize the opportunity to make money
out cf the company by raising the
prices for rights-of-way.'

ReappeaYance of the jersey
Lily.
After an absence OF eight months,
Mrs. Langtry re-appeared last night at
the Opera House in the drama Of As
IN Looking Glass. The piece is
well constructed, has striking dra-
matte situations, and sustains its in
terest with the audience from begin
ming to end. The company is
a good one, and the principal
actors, especially Mr.. CoghIan and
Mr.. Everill, are equal to strong inter-
pretations. 1t was the subject of uni
versal remark last night that Mrs.
Langtry had made great improvement
in her method and power of delinea-
ton since she was last here. There
is no doubt that her portrayal last
night OF the reformed woman, who, in
| a new and better life, seeks to cover
the sins Of her early career with the
mantle Of oblivion, displayed greater
power than she had given sign OF be-
fore. Yet, while she has conspicuously
improved in her art, there is still that
absence Of depth and pathos in her
rending which is really, after all,
the basis of histrionic triumph.
Her effects are hard and sharp, and
are lacking in those soft and delicate
shades of emotion that touch the
deeper feelings Of our nature. Yet il
| is q pleasure that affords compensa.

nlr. Wendlina,. Ilectnre.

Mr.. George r. Vending lecsured
last evening at the Pavilion to large
audience, taking for his subject,
"Saul Of Teysus."
His tb<s.ie, he said, was not Paul
the Solo yian, but Saul OF Iarsus,
and ~ gave the history OF his lie
fioln( 10 time Of his birth in the open
ing years of the Christian era, to his
death at the hands of Nero. 1t was
during Israel's alarm at the progress
of Christianity that Saul came from
Judaism to champion christianity.
His father was a Pharisee, and he
was raised Pharisee. Saul first
prosecuted Christians, and it was
when he stood in the presence of the
Rabbis at the judgment OF Stephens,
and heard the latter hurl defiance at
them, when his life was at stake, in
the cause of Christianity, that his
conscience was first awakened. He
did not like its pricks, however,
and hurried off to Damascus
to crush them out in the most
at'ocious cruelty. There he becan
converted and went into the solitude
OF the Arabian desert, where he spen
three years. From that time on he
worked for God and was terribly per-
secuted. The orator dwelt at length
upon Paul's physical presence, his
courage, his intellectual powers, his
purity Of mind and his great oratorical
powers. He thought him fine-look-
ing, with wonderful courage, intellect
ual powers unequalled and the finest
orator the world ever knew.
Mr.. Vending did not speak long,
only from eight till 9:20 O'Clock, but
in that short time he gave sufficient
food for the thoughts Of his hearers to
occupy their minds for many days.
The lecture tonight will be on Stone
wall Jackson.

A Game for the PhIlIfes Counted
Ont.
PrTsBURe, May 7.-The Philadel-
phia's victory on Saturday on account
of technicality about Gardeners
signing with the club counts for
nothing, and the game was thrown
out. To-day's game was hotly con-
tested and the home team were un-
able to hit Burlington with any effect,
while aside from the fourth inning
the same might be said for the visitor !
and Calvin. The weather was disa-
rreeable and the attendance moder-
ate. Pittsburg 10, Philadelphia 4.
INDIANAPOLIS VS.. NEW YORK.
INDIANAPOLIS, May To days ball
game was played in misty, cold
weather on sloppy grounds, and the
attendance was light, although there
was some good fielding, and on the
part of the home club hard hitting.
The spectators did not take great
interest in the game. Score: Indian
apolis 5, New York 1.
CHICAGO VS.. BOSTON.
DETROIT, May 7.-Clarkson and
Kelly played but an Indifferent game
to-day, and the Champions did not ex-
perience much difficulty in winning
the game, which contained no feat
|ures Of special interest. Conway was
injured by a collision with Morril on
the second inning, and Gruber pitched
the game out. He did very we'll,
holding the visitors down to few
scattering hits. Score-Detroit 8;
Boston 3.

General GIeanings.

Mrs. Iangtry's special car is at the
s. P. depot.
An excursion to San Juan-by-the-
Sea leaves Santa Ana to-day.
The Santa Fe will soon iun four
vestibule trains daily over its new
Chic go line.
Sixty men and fifty teams are en-
ployed on the San Diego and Cuya-
maca road, and good work is being
done.
The number OF pieces handled in
the baggage room at the Southern
Pacific depot in this city, during the
month of April, was 1882.
G. M. Cummings, late Assistant
General Manager Of the Union Pacific,
has been appointed General Manager
of the st. Joseph & Grand Island
Railroad.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
the Rock Island, the Chicago Il ortn-
western, the Wabash and the Michi-
gan Central have decided to put ves-
tibule trains on their lines:
The annual report of the Mexican
Central for 1887 shows deficiency OF
$40, ,462. The gross earnings are s4,-
1856 .578; operating expenses, s2,7l7,-
452 net earnings, 81, 1884, ,126.
The probabilities are that the Po-
mona and Elsinore roaS will connect
with the Southern Pacific on the west
side of Pomona, as the company can
not get right of way privileges on the
East side.
It is expected the first train into
Santa Rosa over the Sauta Rosa and
Carquinez line will run on the 1st of
next month. The tracklayers have
only got 10 miles more to lay and are
working at a lively rate.
Important repairs are being made
along the line of the Atlantic and Pa
cific and new steel is being laid at the
most needed points. The light rails
near the Needles have been taken up
and fifty-one pound metal put in its
place.
The Rock Island road is accepting
458 miles as the basis between Kansas
CITY and Chicago for those holding
mileage tickets. This is caused by
the opening of the Santa Fe's new
line between the points named.
Riverside Station ranks fourth in
the list of stations on the Santa Fe
system in California for the amount
OF business transacted. Los Angeles
is first, San Diego second, San Bernar-
dino third and Riverside fourth.
Three carloads of material have
been unloaded on the site of the new
depot of the Santa Fe at Orange. The
ground is staked out and carpenters
and builders are at work on the
foundations. The building will be a
very handsome one Of $50 feet in
length.
The Chronicle says that there is
much dissatisfaction in the present
train service of the Southern Pacific
Company between San Francisco
and Los Angeles. By the lengthening
Of the time Of the running Of
the morning train out Of the
the first-named city, connection with
all the trains out of Los Angeles is
missed and passengers and mails
must "wait for the next train," which
| is not at all conducive to good temper
on the part of the travellers or the re-
cipients OF the mail. Pasadena, Riv-
erside, San Bernardino and Gan Diego
are among the towns suffering from
the present system.

There was not much interest taken
in the charter election yesterday, and
the casting of ballots proceeded slowly
and orderly all over the city. Very
few voted before ten o'clock and at
noon less than one-third OF
the total number had appeared
at the polls. Towards evening, how
ever, matters frightened up and the
Judges and Inspectors were kept quite
busy for an hour or SO. The polls
closed at O'Clock and the counting
was concluded by $50 O'Clock, when

1t is reported that a change has
been made regarding the manner OF
paying the employees of the Southern
Pacific Company. Hitherto the pay
car has gone over the road once every
two months, but it is announced that
it will in future run every thirty days.
The railroad boys receive the tidings
with much joy for, as rule the last
two weeks OF the second month find
them in pretty tight straits, but in
future they will not be able to be
"busted" for very long period.

The santa Fe Deal.

Regarding the reported deal by
which the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe gains control over the
st. Louis and San Francisco
road, General Manager Bissell, Of the
Atlantic and Pacific, says that it is to
the interests of the Atchison to gain
control Of the property. By this means
traffic matters would be simplified. as
it would do away with the existing
pooling arrangement, under which
through freight is handled to and
from st. Louis and other points. As
matters at present stand, the st. Louis
line and the Atchison are half owners
in the Atlantic and Pacific. The Santa
Fe people have, however, six direc-
tors to thirteen representing the st.
Louis road, which, of course, gives
the Atchison people control, though
the wish of the St. Louis Company
has to be consulted on all important
transactions.

more Developments Regarding
The Manitoba Line.


Advices from Helena, Montana,
state that the Manitoba and Northern
Pacific Railroad Companies have en-
tered into a mutual agreement by
which no Montana extensions are to
be built this year by either road. An
official OF the Manitoba says that his
road has some work begun in Mont
ana last year which they will finish
this year, but beyond that none of the
new work planned beyond surveys
will be carried out for the present.
This is given as the reason for the
closing OF the engineers office by the
Northern Pacific here. The Manitoba
has certain extensions in Minnesota
and Dakota, which it desires to COM
plete, particularly extensions into
South Dakota, to build which, this
year, Mr.. Hill gave pledges last sum
mer to the towns interested. The
Northern Pacific was very willing
to meet him half way in
the proposition to suspend
Montana operations this year, owing
to the bad condition of the iron and
money market and the possible tariff
legislation, which it is claimed will
seriously disturb railroad construe-
ton for the present. Hill is said to
particularly desire this delay, as he
has plans for surveys which he wishes
to carry out, looking to the construc-
ton of his transcontinental line from
Montana to Southern California, and
not to the Northern Pacific Coast, as
was supposed. The Northern Pacific
is anxious to complete its Dakota ex-
tension to Manitoba this year and to
push it's Fergus Falls Division on to
the Black Hills. These are the main
reasons given by sub officials of the
roads for q temporary delay in the
Montana work.
The @. ". & Q's Intentions.
General Manager Stone, of the G.
B. & O., said the other day to re-
porter of the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette that, on account of the rate
disturbances and strikes, his road
would not do any construction east OF
the Missouri river this year. He did
not know what would be done in the
west. He knew that considerable
work had been done in the way OF
surveying in the mountains, looking
to the construction Of an independent
line by the Burlington and Missouri
to Salt Lake and the Pacific coast, but
he did not think it probable that the
grading and construction would be
started this year.
This is corroborative of what has
been going on here for some time.
The Burlington people have had their
men looking for an available route
through the Sierra Madre, but which
course has been decided on or whether
any decision has been made is not yet
known. 1t is said that the Denver
and Rio Grande Western is really
controlled by the Burlington people
and if this is 80, the company has al.
ready secured a valuable link in the
chain OF communication.

This estimate of cost is based upon
the supposition that funds for carry
ing ON the work will be appropriated
in such amounts as will enable
proper outfit of barges, etc to be
provided for carrying the materi,l
from the quarries to the site. If we
have to depend upon the means OF
transportation usually furnished, in
the way of small sailing vessels, the
cost must necessarily be increased.
The breakwater, in addition to af-
fording protected anchorage ground,
