FILLING THE BREACHES
The Railroads Busy Making
Repairs.
BRINGING ORDER OUT OF CHAOS,
Reports of the Damage Still Coming
In-The Delayed Pas
Sengers.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco. December 27.-The
Southern Pacific Company has sent on
from Oakland and Sacramento total OF
100 carloads OF material to repair the
damaged track between Southside and
Les Angeles, distance of some fifty
miles Immediately north of the latter
place. By tomorrow night the expscta.
ton is that some 400 men will be at work
doing repairs in the locality mentioned.
A wooden bridge just this side of Los
Angeles, over the river of the same
name, is to be replaced temporarily with
the same material, but will give way
to an iron bridge in the spring.
The same is also true of the
bridges over the river to the east ol
the city. The other bridges will not be
rebuilt before next Thursday, SO passen.
gers coming to this city will have to take
the steamer. On account of the damage
below Southside, trains from this city
southwark will only run to Mojave and
Bakersfield until about next Thursday
Forty men left for Newhall today to work
on serious break there.

RESIDENTS along the hills west of &c

RESIDENTS along the hills west of town
are becoming quite earnest in their
efforts to get good street from the cen.
ter of the city to their homes. All sorts
of projects are being broached according
to the interests of their formulators
Probably the best and most practical
would be this: Let Second street re.
main as it is as to grades, and put good
cable road on it. To do this would call
for the confscation of the present fran
chise and the finding of parties who will
take new one to put in double track
and operate good road. Then cut First
street 80 as to make that a good traffic
grade for the use of vehicles. In this
way all interests will be we'll taken care
of. First street runs straight to the
western limits of the city, and would
afford good drive, or not too long q
walk. There is really only one property
holder on that street who makes serious
objection to the grading of it in such q
way as to give an excellent traffic grade.
Nor would this plan necessitate the re-
grading Of any of the cross streets on the
way out.

IT WILL take several days to rectify the
disarrangement to the mails and travel
upon our local railroads. Fortunately
we may now say with some positive de-
gree of certainty that the storm is over
and has done its worst. 1t has been
one of the greatest severity experienced
here since 1864, but has done much less
damage within the limits of our city,
simply because the great improvements
made in our streets and in the
river have rendered it less cape-
BILE of harm. The bridges have
stood the terrible strain remarkably
well, and those that gave way will be
replaced by ones built upon more endur-
ing principles. We have ascertained q
great deal upon this subject during the
past few days, and the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company will doubtless profit
by the lesson and erect new bridges
across the river that will weather the Sc
verest freshets we may hereafter look
for. The damage to the railroads out
side the city has been great, but they
will be made again practicable in few
days, and everything will once more run
smoothly in the old channels.

In New YORK yesterday the "bears''
got the "bulls" to great disadvantage.
BY artificial means money has been run
up to 80 per cent. rate, or 211s per cent.
per month. Under such circumstances
it was hard to hold on to stocks of any
sort, aud there must have been a wild
rush to let go.in certain quarters. All
signs show that there is great absorp-
ton process going on in stocks. They
are being hammered down all the time,
whether they are paying or not. This
absorption process must be nearly COM
plete, and the coming year will see the op.
posite programme put on, with the effec.
of raising the price of nearly everything
bought and sold. The Goulds and their
kind who manipulate the market will
then let out money and sell their cheaply
bought stock at enormous advances, thus
getting back all the money in the coun-
try and depressing prices until they load
up again.

How the storm Left Things In
That Region,

SAN BERNARDINo, December 27.-The
Christmas storm was the hardest ever
known in this section. The rainfall in
the valley was not 80 heavy as in Feoru-
ary, 1884, but the creeks and rivers were
higher, showing severe storm and
heavy rainfall in the mountains. The
damage is greater than six years ago.
Lytle creek wrec led two bridges
for the Santa Fe and one
for the motor road. In each case
the damage was caused by the stieam
changing it's course and washing around
the bridges, partially destroying them
The Santa Fe bridge at Irvington, ten
miles towards Cajon pass, is gone. The
deep cut in the Cajon pass is badly
washed, and Thousand feet of track il
covered with mud, which slides in as fast

THE battle of the cable company this
season will be memorable in the annals
OF that corporation and of this city. 1t
has been hand-to.hand fight, almost
without cessation since the first tremen-
dous rains that set in in October. Time
and again have the engine houses been
flooded and the great machinery brought
to standstill. But not for long. The
indomitable spirit who presides over the
destinies Of that system has risen with the
difficulties he had to confront, and over.
come them as rapidly as they arose. 1t
has been subject of remark and
general admiration that just as the
impediments were considered by
the public insuperable. Colonel Rob-
inson has astonished everybody by
showing that they were not. The morn
ing papers would announce that the
principal engine-room was flooded to the
brim and that it would take several days
to pump it out, when, 10! before the ink
became dry on the paper that announced
the stoppage, the cable cara would make
their appearance sailing through the
streets as If nothing had happened.
There has been nothing seen like the

vANDEVER,s Bill.
The Doughty General Stfll Hankers
ing After Baja California

SAN Francisco, December 27.-The
Examiners Washington special says:
General Vandever is approaching his
scheme for the proposed annexation of
Lower California very automatically
this session. He has introduced a bill
"for the establishment of closer rela-
tions between this country and
Mexico; to establish commercial recip-
rocity and to regulate the inter
nal revenue and customs service; to as.
certain and determine boundaries" This
measure looks toward the establishment
Of United States authority in Baja Cali
fornis, and the ultimate annexation of
the Peninsula. The purpose is inten-
tionally obscured in the title because of
the presence in Washington of leading
Mexican statesmen as delegates to
the Pan-American Congress. General
Vandever's bill contemplates the appoint
ment OF joint commission by Mexico
and the United States to formulate q
measure to bring about the objects of the
bill. II has in direct view the reform of
the customs service on the border, and
the absolute stopping of the extensive
now going on.

THE money stringency in the New
York market has forced the rate of loans
in some instances up to 80 per cent. OF
course such a rate, or rate within
shooting distance of that, is simply de-
structive of all legitimate transactions.
A few desperate borrowers may hope K,
tide over a crisis by submitting to the
squeeze, but in the end all who attempt
to carry out business on this terrible rate
of usury must go to the wall. Gould
there be any stronger argument pre-.
sented to the American people in favor
Of the reconciliation of silver and it's
free coinage than the fact that
the monemetallists are enabled to
thus cinch the country and lay the
groundwork for great financial crash ?
We are bereft of one-hslf the value OF
available money, so that few money.
bugs and usurers may milk the mer-
chant and create an artificial panic.
This, too, in the face of the fact that the
country is abundantly able, with the
concurrent power of the two precious
metals acting together as a circulating
medium, to supply every demand which
the legitimate business of the people re.
quires. Surely we are like the man who
is trying to accomplish work with one
hand at a tremendous disadvantage
which he could get through with easily
if he would use both. 1t is about time
the nation unshackled the other arm
which it has tied up with Legislative
bandages.

The Republican party in these d,

THE Republican party in these days
manifestly do not believe in republics.
The Republican National Government
refuse to hold ont hand to aid, or to
speak word to cheer the new republic
in Brazil. Yesterday two Republican
newspapers in Los Angeles gave positive
expression to the view that q mistake
had been made in the dethroning OF the
Emperor to set up republic. 1t is
most true that Dom Pedro WAS q rare
monarch, as monarchs go. But the true
American can hardly regret the
putting of the functions of government
where they belong-in the hands of the
governed. That is pretty good American
doctrine, and anything that does not
run parallel with that is hardly good
Americanism.

New York, December 27.-The Bra
lillian Consul-General, Salvador Mem
dopcs, telegrsphs G. R. Flint & Co.,
from Washington, that he has received
cables from Brazil preparing him for bad
news. He continues, however, to have
confidence in the strength of the Govern
ment.
The cable working between Maranhan
and Rio de Janeiro has, according to the
latest advices from Brazil, ceased to
work. No cause is given for the break.
WASHINGTON. December 27.-The Bra
lillian Minister has received cablegram
| from Barbozs, Minister of Finance, dated
Rio de Janeiro, December 27, saying in
part:
"Ex-Premier Ouro Preto has been BAN
ished on account of acts of conspiracy on
the part of his followers. The Imperial
family, because of having changed their
attitude from acquiescence to encourage
ment of the pretensions of reaction, were
deprived of their civil list and subsidy.
The Emperor, under the advice of dis
astrous counsellors, refused the subsidy
because it was an act of the revolution,
but accepted the civil list as right
based upon law. In view of this denial
of the legitim acy of the revolution, which
has been sanctioned by the whole
country, our measure of cutting off the
civil list and subsidy was an act
of mere common sense. These measures
have here met with general support. We
shall continue to respect all rights, main
tain tribunals, organize administration,
observe all contracts and keep up the
budget; but any attempt against public
order will be repressed with implacable
severity. Commerce, agriculture and
the working classes call upon us to as
sumo this attitude. We shall hand over
to the constitutional convention the re-
public intact. Those who believe thie
convention is called to decide between q
republic and monarchy are mistaken.
A monarchy is out of the question. The
European press should not be misled by
lnewsmongers whose Vaccinations are
here objects OF amazement or derision
These mistakes of the press foment here
schemes of disturbance, but the dilemms
now is simply republic or anarchy"
LONDON, December 27 Portugal, Ger
many and Italy will shortly send a col

What Mischief the Raging Santa

Ana Created.
SANTA ANA, December 27-Rain has
bsen falling most of the time since Sun
day evening. During that time nearly
five inches has fallen, making fifteen for
the season. The Santa Ana river and
Santiago creek were both out of their
banks for four days, and flooded 5000
acres of the richest and most productive
agricultural .ection of Orange county.
There WAS no loss of life either to man or
beast, as the country is very level
and the water was only q
foot deep. Cattle have been
driven to the mesa lands for the present.
There was no .telegraphic eommunica-
tion since Tuesday night until today. A
wire was connected across New river by
attaching it to. a float which bore it
across. No trains have reached this city
from any direction since Tuesday after.
noon. The Santa Fe will make an
effort to reach San Bernsrdino tomorrow,
but It is extremely doubtful whether any
train will get through before Sunday.
