This City.
Mr. T. J. Wolfe, general baggage agent
of the New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad, is in the city, being one
of the delegates who having recently
convened in San Francisco are now max
ing tour of the coast. Mr.. Wolfe, who
is in the hands of that Napoleon of hosts,
Mr.. Amos Burr, during his stay in the
city, expresses himself as highly de-
lighted with his experiences here. 'It
is my first visit to Los Angeles" he said
to HERALD man yesterday, "and I have
found it all that l expected and more too.
You have world of your own out here,
or rather you have the paradise for the
rest of the world" Mr.. Wolfe will leave
for the East to-day, as his duties call
him back to headquarters as soon as
possible.
Mr.. Dan True, the Pennsylvania
representative in this territory. returned
yesterday morning from San Francisco.
Regarding the announcement that his
company intends to open an Office here
at an early date, he says that the Off
cials of the road are figuring on such
proposition and that something will
probably be done in the matter after
everything is running smoothly under
the new management at San Francisco.
Mr.. N. A. Phillips, General Baggage
Agent of the Chicago and Northwestern
road, left the city yesterday for home.
Mr.. Phillips has been very much indis-
posed since his arrival in California, but
leaves with a firm conviction that for
climate and resources it cannot be beaten.
Mr.. J. F. Fugazi, Pacific Coast Agent
for the Con,pagnie General 1ransatla,a-
tique, and also agent for the Union Pacific,
Rock Island, and Pacific Steamship Com
pany, arrived in town yesterday, accom-
panied by his wife. They will remain
here few days, and then go on to New
York.

of the Brotherhood of Railway Conduct
ors, returned yesterday from an organic
ing trip to Winslow and Albuquerque.
He leaves on Wednesday for New York.

THE SALT LAKE ROAD.
The Surveyors Stili at Work at This |
End-The u. r. Directors.


The advertisement by the Salt Lake
people for bids for the abutments for the
Downey -avvenue and First-street bridges
shows that the company does not intend
to make any delays in the work ahead
of them. A force of men was at work all
last week filling in the approach at the
east side OF Downey bridge,
where the Salt Lake road tracks will pass
Surveyors are also still out, running the
preliminary lines between this city and
the ocean. At the recent meeting
OF tie Union Pacific directors it is
stated that the Utah Southern extension
question was presented before the direct
ory in very hopeful light, all indica-
tions pointing toward reasonably near
commencement of that enterprise. The
Salt Lake Tribune says that the esti.
mated cost of the entire line from Milford
to Los Angeles is about $4,000, 900, but
this great outlay is reasonable enough,
considering the great traffic resulting
from it. An enormous amount of coal
would be shipped into Southern Califor-
mia yearly, to say nothing of the vast
quantities of pay ore to be
reduced. A great trouble has been
the lukewarmness of President Adams, of
the Union Pacific. He has been
through California and has seen only
the climate and fruit, while the great
mineral and coal deposits between Mil
ford and the California line have escaped
him entirely. There are hopes, however,
OF his conversion to the true state of
things,

Interstate Commerce Rulings.

WASHINGTON. January 27.-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission has promul-
gated an opinion on the subject of the
passenger tariffs and rate wars, prepared
by Chairman Cooley. The paper mar
rates the facts attending the war in pas
senger rates at st. Louis in October, and
also the circumstances of the passenger
rate war which prevailed at Chicago in
December, both of which were investi-
gated by the Commission. 1t is
recommended that the Interstate
Commerce Act be so amended
as, first, to define what shall
be considered excursion and commute
tion tickets; second, to prohibit all pay
ment of commissions on the sale of
tickets, and all sale of tickets for inter-
state business except by the regular
agents of the carriers; third, to require
the carriers to provide for the speedy and
convenient redemption of all unused
tickets or coupons. The previous recon-
mendations, in respect to amendments
relating to joint tariffs and notices OF re-
duction of rates, are renewed.

THE WEEKS WORK.
The Various Measures that
Will Engage Congress.
SAMOA IS TO BE DISCUSSED.
A Lively Debate Expected in the
Event of the Oklahoma Bill
Coming Up.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, January 27.--The Con-
sular and Diplomatic Appropriation bill
will come up in the Senate tomorrow,
and the amendments proposed by the
Foreign Relations Committee, providing
means to defend and protect American
interests in Samoa, will form the subject
of lively discussion. 1t may be, how.
ever, that these amendments will be con-
sidered in secret session.
On Tuesday, under an order of the
Senate, made some days ago, the British
extradition treaty will be discussed in
executive session. Sherman will en-
deavor to press the Antitrust bill to q
vote.
This week the Pacific Railroad Fund
ing bill will also be the subject OF several
speeches.
Armed with the Sundry Civil Appro-
priation bill, Randall will probably de-
prive the District of Columbia Commit
tee of Monday, to which it is entitled
under the rules. If he does not, several
other members in charge of important
measures stand ready to do it.
The Oklahoma adherents have signi-
fed their intention to call up their bill
on Tuesday. A lively day may be ex-
pected if the bill comes up. Later in
the week the appropriation bills are
likely to play a prominent part, and
when the Naval bill is taken up, an en-.
tertaining discussion on the Samoan
matter will probably ensue.

there was for such stories.
"Well, there have been a number
of overtures made to u.s." was the
reply, "but there has been no out
come to any OF them. One idea was
to turn it into Tivoli, but Mr.. Hav-
erly, who proposed it, figured out that
the necessary changes would entail 30
much expenditure that there would be
nothing in it. That has been the trouble
with all of them, for to convert the build
ing into anything besides what it is now

sending the panorama to the City of

nothing at all in such q story; in fact, as
matters stand now, I do not think that
any changes at all are probable"

TEMPTED AS EVE WAS.
A New Way to win Over Senators
TO Protection.

TO Protection.
The Republican Tariff bill puts fruit
on the free list, and, with the excep-
tion of the Floridians, the Democrats
generally assent to this. But Senator
Stanford opposes the idea, and he is
carrying on subtle campaign in
favor of American fruits. Day after
day sees in the Republican cloak
room of the Senate sample or a num-
ber of samples of California fruits. The
sample which was there yesterday diff
fers entirely from tha. which is on ex.
hibition to-day. On one occasion it
may be box of Fresno raisins, and
the Senators walk in and help them
selves to handfuls of the delicious fruit
At another time it will be basket of
Fresno figs, finer, often, than any figs the
Senators ever saw before. Then it will be
Riverside oranges, large and luscious,
and the arrival of box of the great pill
low beauties is whispered around the
chamber until every Senator who knows
the quality of "Stanford's oranges" has
buried his lips in the juicy pulp. Even
the Florida Senators temporarily fore
swear their allegiance to the great staple
of their State and enjoy the California
article. Prunes and grapes are fre-
quently to be found in the cloak
room, and even the members of
the subj Committee ON Finance eat
thereof and are glad. When everybody
has satisfied himself as to the quality Of
the fruit which happens to be on exhibi-
ton. then Senator Stanford remarks that
the fruit-raising industries of the United
States must be protected from competi-
tion on even terms with the fruits of for
eipn lands,-[Wash special.

The Rights of Wives.

While care is taken to protect the
husbands lifelong use of the real es-
tate of his wife, says writer in Wom-
ans Journal, we can not forget that
the wife has only the use of one-third
of the husbands real estate after he is
dead. If he outlives her, she does not
get it at all, and she can not will it, as
her right in it ceases with her life.
Here is case: A woman before her
marriage owned a house and land. She
died, leaving one daughter. The hus-
band married, and had three other
children. The daughter of the first
wife, now married and with children
of her own. greatly needs the property
of her mother. But the law gives the
use of it all to the husband, and he
spends it all on the children of his sec
ond wife. Is it not time further to pro-
tect and extend the rights of wives?

BRIDE BROOKS ROMANCE.

A Ceremony That Gave to . Connecticut
Stream Its Pleasant Name.
It is not generally known that the
settlement of New London was COM
menced under the authority of Massa-
chusetts. John Winthrop, its founder.
bore commission from the Govern
ment of that colony. 1t was first
called "The Plantation Of Nameaug,"
and its bounds extended on the west

called by the Indians Sunkipaug. II

and falls into the Sound between Black

During the arst winter after the set

when the whole country was covered
with a deep snow, the incident that
caused the naming this stream and
lake Bride Brook and Lake occurred.
Application was made to Mr.. Win

young couple in marriage, there being
in that place no person duly author

but he had been commissioned in
Massachusetts, and could not legally

clusion Winthrop gave the name of
Bride Brook to the stream. by which
it has ever since been known. The
pond is also called Bride Lake
The annals Of history can furnish
but few incidents more striking than
the Bride Brook marriage All the
accessories Of the scene are picturesque
and impressive. The little company
stood in the midst OF a dreary waste

SILO AND ENSIlAGE.

Information Based on the Experlsnce Of
well-Known Dairymen.
We are having numerous inquiries
about the silo and ensilage, and we will
answer them in the following. repeat
ing. perhaps, some things we have re-
Gently said, that more recent inquirers
may find their answer here Wood is
better than masonry for the silo; at
least just as good. We think the first
statement correct Construct it of any
dimensions desired. and rs much as
twenty-five feet deep, if you like. The
greater the depth, the more perfectly
the ensilage will settle of its own
weight Be sure to build strong, re-
membering that there is considerable
pressure upon the walls. We recently
gave directions for building air-tight
walls. 1t is said that the reason that
ensilage sometimes spoils at the corners
and on the sides is because it is trod-
den so hard that it does not heat up in
those locations as it does in the center.
John Gould says that the remedy
is to tread it little in the corners and
leave it at night heaped up
right in the center. The third day
when ne get ready to fill again, throw
this corn from the middle into the cor
ners; that does away with the whole
bother. Have your carrier carry as
near the center Of your pit as you can,
and distribute through the day, and
then the last three or four loads heap
in the center.
Do not tramp the corners as much as
the center. After the ensilage is put
in, and left until it shows a tempera-
ture of 125 degrees, throw on wilted
hay and place on it some boards. or put
on tarred paper. When you begin to
feed it there is no danger of it spelling.
You take it from the top. Inregard to
its effect upon the quality of the milk,
experience shows that it improves the
quality. One man recently, in giving
his experience, said that before he fed
ensilage it took twenty pounds Of milk
to make a pound of butter in winter,
but that with ensilage it took but
eighteen pounds. Western Rural

The CONSULAR SERVICE.

why None But Devoted Protectionists
Should Represent Americas Conn
mefce.
The Presidents declared intention Of
acting slowly in the matter Of consular
appointments il praiseworthy. The
consular department is one in which it
is needful that there should be q ''clean
sweep" or pretty nearly SO. Of all the
present incumbents, and that for very
plain and vary satisfactory reasons.
Consuls and consular agents are not
mere routine officials; it is possible that
merely clerical duties may be fulfilled
by Democrat under Republican adj
ministration or bya Republican under
q Democrat without detriment to the
policy of the party in power. but it is
not possible that free trader can
serve protectionist party in an Office
in which he is free 70 express his
opinions as an official. and to impress
such opinions upon the public mind
by the weight Of official position.
The consular reports are educational
documents, and it is not to be thought
of that they shall be written
and edited by free traders under .
protectionist administration. The
country has declared that its policy,
for the next four years at any rate.
shall be protectionist, and the working
out of such policy can not be intrust-
ed to free traders who are all but un.
checked in the exercise of great official
powers.
The most insidious pleas for a re-
turn to free-trade policy which have
been made during the past four years
have been furnished by Consuls Of
MIR. Cleveland's appointment These
agents of America have been doing
English trade good and American
trade evil service. They have been.
for the most part, faithful friends
of the European exporter and treach-
erous guardians of the interests
Of American manufacturers and agri-
culturists. 1t is desirable that the
consular service shall be reorganized
with the utmost speed consistent with
safety. But it should be borne in mind
that safety lies in replacing the old
free-trade leaven by active protection
list principles. A Consul under Re-
publican administration should be q
man of well-developed intelligence,
methodical in habit, shrewd in inves-
tigation, and full of devotion to the
American idea of protection to Ameri-
can industries and American citizens.
