DENVER, Col, October 1S.-At todsy's
session of the Locomotive Engineers
Convention the report of the Special
Finance Committee was presented. This
is understood to include the report of the
Burlington strike. The annual financial
report was presented and adopted
Chief Arthur made his special report.
In accordance with the Recommendation
in his annual address, none of these
matters have been made public.
Tonight the Federation Committee
from the Union Pacific and a special
committee appointed by the convention
are considering this question at special
meeting in Nief's Hall. From the con-
versation of a mum ber ofleading engin
GERS today, it is inferred that this propo-
sition will be defeated when brought
before the convention.
The choice of place for the location
of permanent headquarters for the next
ten years lies between Denver end Clevs-
land, Ohio.
The majority of the engineers seem TO
be opposed to any change, and the prob
abilities are that Cleveland will be de-
cided upon.
Tomorrow, at the invitation of the
Union Pacific, the delegates will 90 on

will be filed with delegates and their
ladies'.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the
Tribune, has an idea that we we're some
what muddled in our comments on ito
pitiful howl to have the Democratic Fed.
eral officials Of Los Angeles turned out
and its own special pets put in. On the
contrary, we have just conceit enough to
think that that article was particularly
clear. The people who control the
journal on the corner of First and Fort
streets have locked horns with the
crowd which runs the Spring street or.
gan, and the probability is that the Dem.
ocratic officials aforesaid, as result Of
this interesting quarrel, will be per.
mitted to serve out their terms, with the
agreeable coincidence that in Los
Angeles county at least there
will be some correspondence be-
tween the professions Of the Republican
National platform and the performances
OF President Harrison's administration
We embellished the presentation of these
facts with a few pleasantfies which We
scarcely expected the Tribune to enjoy il
it's welfish ravening after the spoils. The
hungry spokesman who runs that joufna
is in the plight of Herod in the John the
Baptist episode, and the only thing tha
could please him just now would be the

BERLIN, October 1S.-Court reports
appearing in the newspapers of this city
credit the Gar with having thanked
Prince Bismarck for supporting russian
protests TO the Swiss Government
against the harboring of anarchists, and
assuring the Chancellor that the state
ments regarding General Oorutschef's
recommendation of double lines Of STRAIT
egic railways in Russia we're false.
Prince Bismarck assured the Gear that
Germany WAS as little concerned regard
ing Bulgaria as she was regarding Rus
sia's pans in Asia, and that in his view
an understanding between Russia and
England with reference to Asia was de-
sirable and could easily be obtained.
The Post asserts that the two Emperors,
before separating, arranged for another
meeting, and Emperor William, on the
invitation of the Gar, agreed to attend
the Russian army maneuvers in 1890.

THE CRvNIN CASE.
Two Mere Veniremen say They
Were Offered Money.

CHICAGO, October 1S.-It is stated that
two men have voluntarily come to the
States Attorney and told him that they
were offered 1000 each to go on the
Cronin jury and hold out for acquittal.
The search for a jury in the case con-
tinues. The Grand Jury is doing routine
work.
The men who told the States Attorney
that they had been offered money by F.
W. Smith to 60 on the Cronin jury and
hold for an acQuittal are Messrs Francis
and Wolf, members of a dry goods firm
in Englewood.
No additional jurors we're secured in
the Cronin case.
All the alleged jury 6xers who were
arrested yesterday have been bailed out.
LATER DEVELOPMENTS.
Michael A. Marley, who has rooms on
Oak street, opposite the residence OF
Alexander Sullivan, WAS before the
States Attorney this evening. Nothing
of what Marley had said could be learned
from him or the States Attorney, but a
report became current that Manley was
asked as to whether he had not seen
suspects Cooney and Coughlan, Clan
ma. Gael member named Foy and another
enter Mr.. Sullivan's house together dur
ing March. Accompanying this rumor
was report that Manley's examination
did not prove very fruitful.
. Another expressman has been brought
into the case. He was taken to the
State Attorneys Office tonight and con-
fronted by young Carlson, son of the
aged owner of the Carlson cottage. The
expressman, it is believed, was subse-
quently taken to some secure place by
the authorities.

pan.Americun Tourists,

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, October 49,
The Pan.American excursion reached
here this morning, and the swarthy sons
of the South had their first view of a
heavy white frost. After breakfast they
were shown the great furniture factories.
A salute of sixteen guns WAS fired in
their toner. This was followed by re-
view of militia, Fire Department and
Bicycle Club. This afternoon they wit
messed the novelty, to them, of the trot-
ting races.
The delegates were much interested in
the great furniture factories, of which
there are forty-two in Grand Rapids.
An informal reception was held in the
City Hall this evening, and tonight the
tourists boarded their special train and
started for South Bend, Ind.

A NEW SENSATION.
Ash Alleged Piet to Rescue Suspects
Burke and COughltn.

CHICAGO, October ~ The Dd1Iy NeWS
Gays this morning: The discovery has
been made of plot 10 rescue Martin
Burke and Dan Coughlin from Judge
McConnell's courtroom one day next
week, presumably on Monday afternoon,
just before the adjournment of court,
Judge Longenecker has been suspicious
since ex-Sheriff James Healey, of Han
cock, Mich, appeared last Wednesday,
and asked permission to see
Dan Coughlin before the court opened.
Longenecker, however, gave Healey
en- order on the jailer and arranged to
have the visitor and prisoner Swallowed
during the interview. The couple, how.
ever, we're circumspect in their talk, and
the shadow learned nothing.
Yesterday morning, when the court
opened, Judge Longenecker, who had
been warned again by an Irishman, who
has spent both time and money in assist
ing the State, took a sly equint around the
courtroom, and, it is said, caught sight
of ex Sheriff Healy with . com panion
seated in the rear OF the courtroom,
where the old time hangers-on generally
find seats. Quickly diverting his gaze,
he took a glance down the row
of seats and recognized the forms
of several men who had been
pointed out to him during the week as
strangers who would bear watching. He
became uneasy, and for the first hour of
the jury-getting had little attention for
the prosy work on hand.
The States Attorney took a position
where he could watch without being
seen, and soon caught one of the strang-
ers making signs, which, from
Coughlin's appearance, were under
etood by him. Soon after the
signaler and companion went
out and were followed by two other
strangers. They were Swallowed to a
ticket Office where they made inquiries
about tickets to Vancouver. Mysterious
signaling was also noticed between a
stranger and Martin Burke.
The News says, from these facts and
other developments, Judge Longenecker
is greatly agitated, and is taking elabo.
rate precautions to prevent any attem pit
at rescue. From the points learned, the
News draws the inference that this
is a Clan ma Gael plot going up in
the interest of Coughlin and Burke.
only, for the roaaon that they are the two
men who must be saved at all azards in
order to prevent their confessing and i'm.
plicsting men whose necks are thought
to be worth much more to the Clan ma
Gael.

Reaondo Getting a Good Ready q

ReAOndO Getting a Good Ready On.
The Redondo Beach people are getking
ready to do great things in this county.
Captains Ainsworth and Thompson are
in no sense precipitate personages, and
they have undertaken a great project
with due deliberation and method. They
have in the Inglewood and Redondo
properties superb stretch Of real estate
that they bought under "busted BOOM
conditions, and which they are in NO
haste to sell. They know the rebound
which the conditions existing in
this county are certain to bring
about, and which, by the way,
is being brought about now-that is to
say, the man of clear eye and brain
already discerns that breaking of the
dawn on the business horizon which will
be glorious day almost before you could
say Jack Robinson. In addition to their
princely domain, they have a splendid
ocean frontage, with confguration of
country remarkably favorable for ship
ping, and in which properly constructed
wharf will be, for ten months
in the year, equivalent to q
hsrbor perfectly equipped by ma
ture Tor the work of commerce. They
have already built wharf and a railway
to Los Angeles. Their own railway will
be supplementary to that of the A. T. &
8. F., which also has line running to
Redondo. Bueiness is already gathering
there in great volume, and it is the
cloud on the sky no bigger than mans
hand which will shortly grow to great
things. The Messrs. Ainsworth and
Thompson are the old kings of the
Oregon Navigation Company. before
that valuable institution was sold
out by them to Willard. They
are the builders, in large measure, of
Oakland, California, and Portland. Ore
gon. The fact that they see great things
in Redondo Beach is CT itself strong
argument that that place will have
brilliant future. They are building there

vanced considerably towards completion.

OFFICIAL SURVEYS.

IL Is Claimed That They are not
LeGal.
1t is claimed by several parties who
are interested in the opening Of streets
and in the grading of other streets, that
since this Council has been in Office not
a single survey of street has been made
official. The practice has been for the
City Engineer to make a survey of a
street, and present map to the Council,
which map has, on motion of some
Councilman, been adopted and de-
clared official" This, it is claimed,
is not the manner in which surveys
OF streets can be made official.
The charter provides that the Council
"shall provide for the surveys of streets
and may, by ordinance, declare
such surveys official, and may compel all
persons to conform to the streets as thew
are now, or may be hereafter lawfully
established and declared Official" The
charge is made that since this Council
has been in Office no map Of . survey Of
a street has been adopted by ordinance
and declared official.

AND now Pasadena shows every sign
of sprucing up. The Gross railway is
making rapid headway, great gangs OF
men are at work, and the Pasadena
landlords are finding plenty of applicants
for houses to rent. The descent of that
charming suburb has been rapid, and
we heartily hope that its ascent may be
equally so. That a marked improve

We DESIRE again to address ourselves
to some Of the croakers who stand around
groaning that raising barley don't pay,
and who make the same complaint about
wheat, corn and nearly everything that
farmer can raise, and for which in Los
Angeles Agricola gets twice the price re-
ceived by his brethren in Iowa and
Kansas. Why don't these croakers go
to raising alfalfa, with dairying? Ii
they will do 80 they will receive
quite twice the prices for their
butter obtainable by the north
western farmer, and they can raise from
six to eight crops Of rich clover a year,
running from eight to fourteen tons to
the acre, as against the single crop and
slight aftermath, which the Iowa and
Kansas farmer gets, amounting to not
more than two to two and half tons to
the acre, with the difference that the Los
Angeles dairyman can allow his
cows to Craze every day in the
year, while shelter and prepared
food are needed by the eastern COWS.
There is no answering this by saying that
we have no market, for the home con-
sumption is practically unlimited. Since
the first of August of the current year
two months and half-the Southern
Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railways brought into Los An
geles county 321, S04 pounds of butter
which, at twenty cents pound, amounts
to $64,360.S0. For three OF the
four quarters of the current year these
two roads brought into this county
CTS, 12O lbs. of butter, which at 20 cents
a pound sums up $135, 1924, making about
5000, 900 worth of butter yearly imported
into Los Angeles county-as much as the
total present value of the whole raisin
crop of Southern California-and much
of it comes from Santa Barbara, San
Luis Obispo and Ventura counties. All
that is needed to make man rich here
is that he should 60 to work.

PHILADELPHIA, October 1S.--In the
closing session of the American Forestry
Congress today, B. G. Northrup read an
essay on "Arbor Day in Schools" in
which he showed that this vernal holt
day is now being celebrated very gener-
ally. He said that the children are
planting millions OF trees, California
taking the lead. A resolution was
adopted asking Congress to withhold
public lands from sale until the timber
is old enough to cut. Governor James
A. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, was elected
President aud the meeting then
adjourned sine die.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10. 1889.
the Congress of The Americas and
The Nicaragua Canal.

Mr.. Justice Field, in an interview with
q HERALD reporter on the occasion Of a
recent visit to Los Angeles, said that the
completion of the Nicaragua canal would
shortly result in doubling the population
and wealth of the Pacific Coast. He put
the figures high, perhaps, and the period
short-he said the miracle would be &C.
complished in five years-but he was
essentially right. After all, the
growth of the Pacific Coast, con-
:idering the drawbacks of every
Kind which existed. has been fairly
wonderful Until 1865 California had to
be reached by long and tedious and
highly expensive journey by sea, or by
an overland trip which was almost a
msrtyrdom, and which was environed
by every sort Of peril. Even when the
steamer and railway facilities were
greatly improved and cheapened, it
took q small fortune to bring a
family to California. All the neces-
saries of life were made exorbi-
family high for those who reached here
by the costliness of transportation, and
the situation was complicated by the
quite general belief which prevailed for
years that nothing in the vegetable and
cereal line could be raised in this State.
The advent OF the several transconti'
mental railways was great boon, and ii
it shall be capped by q canal through
Nicaragua, stimulus will be given TO
settlement and production of great but
unknown force. In period Of decade
its results would surpass the most rose
ate calculations Of the most sanguine.
That the project of building this canal
was greatly re tarded by Count de Les
eeps's operations at Panama cannot be
doubted. With the great reputation that
gentleman had acquired on the Isthmus
of Suez, his confident declaration that he
could finish the work for comparatively
small sum of money and in few years
was great handicap on the efforts
of those Who would have had
the Nicaragua canal built and
in operation by this time if it
had not been for the boastful French
man. The first sum suggested s
ample to build the Panama canal was
SEC, 100000. This amount was after
wards advanced to $3.50, 0O0, 900. With
the work not third completed, $780,
100000 have already been spent on the
great ditch; and, if completed, which il
never will be, it will have cost so much
money as to necessitate tolls which
would make it NO real relief or conven-
fence to the commerce Of the world.
There is one practical outcome TO the
Congress of the Am ericas, and it is the
only one we can see. That assem-
blage will not have been without its ben
e6ts if it shall help to popularize the
Nicaragua canal. Sentiment in the
United States has apidly crystalized in
its favor, and if there is note Of encour-
agement from our Central and South
American visitors the difficulties in the
way will be greatly diminished. Mr..
Blaine, who has the reputation of being
an unrivaled manipulation, could direct
his talents to no better aim than the vi
tslizing of the Nicaragua canal.

surprise is undoubtedly in store for the
people of Los Angeles when the Messrs.

beneficiaries, the good people of Los
