&naa MAN GONE.

Philip A. Roach was buried from st.
Mary's Cathedral yesterday, and was
followed to the grave by an immense as
semblsge of friends and admirers, who
appreciated his ability and worth. The
deceased was for years noted journalist,
having been associated with number OF
newspaper publications, but was best
known in connection with the San Fran
cisco Examiner, when that journal was
an evening paper. He was its business
manager and part owner, with William
S. Moss, Ben F. Washington and George
Pen Johnson, as partners and co-laborers.
He was born in Cork, Ireland, in 1920,
and was brought to this country when a
baby by his widowed mother. He seemed
to have made his mark at quite an early
age, as he was appointed United States
Consul to Lisbon in 1916 by President
Polk. He was one of the foremosG OF
the California Pioneers and was elected
Alcalde of Monterey soon after landing
at that place, being its first Mayor under
the American domination. In 1858 he
was elected to the State Senate from
Monterey county, and twenty years later
was elected to the same body from San
Francisco. He was appointed by Presi
dent Pierce United States Appraiser al
San Francisco; and, fortur ately for his
purse, which was not particularly full a
the time, he was twice elected Public
Administrator of the City and County O
San Francisco. The charge of the Bly, the
estate must have made him pscuniafily
comfortable.
During his legislative career Mr.
Roach was the author of many valuable
public measures, amongst them beins
| the first resolution in opposition to the
| immigration of Chinese. Being natu
rally Of ehivalrous disposition, he ais
introduced and pressed to its passage TIT
act Furnishing wife beating with thu
scourge. The courts, however, made hi
well.meant efforts of no avail, deciding
that the act was unconstitutional on tn
ground that it was cruel and unusua
punishment.
| MIR. Roach was an accomplished lin
guist and versatile and profound
scholar. His knowledge was variou
and thorough and his style chaste AM
luminous. He leaves few better mel
behind him.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The Senate special
committee on our relations with Canada
will hold their first meeting at the Grand
Pacific tomorrow. After the conference
the committee will leave for San Francis.
co. Senator Hoar, when questioned re-
garding the work of the committee, said
it would not conflict in any way with the
work of Senator Cullom's committee
which will make the railway interests its
particular business,
"You are not going to the Coast ther
to investigate the operation of the Cana
dian roads ?'
1--WE are not"
"Will your committee investigate the
Behring Sea fishery trouble ?'
.'In general way" he replied. Ithinl
| may say it covers the fisheries question
but do not wish to talk in detail of the
matter until have seen the committee.

THERE promises to be lively contro
versy in the Board OF Police Commits
sioners over the application of J. W,
Davis for a position on the force. His
appointment is resisted on the grounds
that he received brides, while he was
Chief of Police, to allow gambling to go
on. His opponents allege that he paid a
witness $500 not to testify against him,
and that when this fact was made public,
and an investigation was about to be had /,
he resigned in order to avoid it. These
are serious charges and they ought to be
thoroughly sifted before Davis is allowed
to become member of body, the in
compatibility of whose members is neces-
sary for the public safety.

SAN Francisco, May lie. o. F. Has
tings, an attorney aged 60 years, was
run over last night by Suffer street ca.
Bile while trying to board the car, and

Both legs were broken and he was hor.
ribly mangled. E. F. Van Horn, the

The deceased came to this State in
1S49. He made specially OF land mat.

attorney for the regents of the University
OF California for a time, and, as such
represented the Board in Washington in
certain cases relating to land gran,
affairs. He leaves family. A son
Phillip Hastings, is employed in the
United States Land Office. Deceased
was 81 years old. He was a member Of

TRANSFERS in real estate are gradually
and steadily increasing. For the month
of April, just closed, they amount to
"a, 524, $40, against s., 556,s17 for March
and $1,000, 120 for February. The in
crease for April over March was 1867 1893
and over February $l,474,390. The
record of conveyances is the best index
available of the condition Of the real
estate market, and the satisfactory way
in which the volume of sales is increas-
ing shows conclusively that there is 9
very healthy feeling about land values in
this county. There is no doubt that in.
vestors are picking up good properties in
the city and all over the county, and the
steadily improving tone OF the real estate
market indicates speedy return to lively
times. Confidence in the future of this
city and section, if it ever was seriously
shaken, is being rapidly restored.

Prompt Action on the Outfali
SeWer-Our streets.


There is strong feeling in this COM
munity that the Council ought not to
shilly-shally about beginning the pre-
lininary work on the outfall sewer. Be-
fore any bonds can be sold for that
purpose it will be necessary to call an
election to say whether or no bonds shall
be issued, and thirty days. notice of this
election must be given before they can
be voted upon. OF course, if the people
do not approve of appropriating the
money needed for the outfall sewer, that
ends the matter for the time being, and
it makes no difference whether the Su-
preme Court shall declare the new Char
ter valid or invalid. On the superstition
that the decision shall be in favor of the
new Charter, just SO much time will
have been gained. 1t is generally con.
coded that the Supreme Court will reach
q decision on the mooted question within
q very short time-a time much within
the limit of the thirty days. Why not,
then, have matters in a state of for
wardness? If, on the other baud, the
Supreme Court should pronounce against
the new charter, the only drawback
would be the trifiing expense of adver-
Using the election, which need not then
be held.
Both of the political parties have placed
themselves unreservedly on the platform
that the outfall sewer ought to be built,
ct Thora 10 v,yootioa 1ly,
unanimous sentiment upon that point
amongst the taxpayers. The bonds
would be voted by large majority.
Why should they not be put in shape at
once? Instant action is advisable on two
grounds. Business is already picking
up, and such action would vitalize it to a
marked degree. Then q considerable
number of laboripg men would obtain
employment. The work ought to be
dene, and will unquestionab]y be done,
and it ought to be done during the COM
ing Summer.
Outside of these considerations, which
are very important, in view of our unem-
ployed workingmen, it is an exigent me-
ES6oibJ llldb tu6 scWcE Dc UullG.
Under proper sanitary conditions, Los
Angeles is the healthiest city on the
globe, and it can be made genuine
sanitarium without drawbacks. The fact
that our death rate is abnormally small
should not blind US to the dangers of
neglecting ordinary precautions. The
outfall sewer to the ocean is bond from
fate that our exceptionally fine hygienic
conditions will be preserved and i'm
proved.
A kindred topic to that which we have
discussed is street work. In our judg-
ment, the Council has most unwisely
crippled the Street Superintendent's de-
partment OF the city government. Good
streets and complete sewer system are
desiderata that call for imperative recog-
milton. We have done wonders on our
streets during the past year, and We
ought not to intermit the good work.

The CdH gives our city credit for just
one-half the number of votes she cast at
the last Presidential election. As an in
dex to population the votes cast are a
guiding factor; but the number of voters
ON the great register is the best guide.
Los Angeles cast II, Sl5 at the last Presi-
Dental election out of IA 662 names on
the great register. Multiplied dy 6 this
would give us population of 1892.
The census of school children increases
this computation; but from eighty five
to ninety thousand is perhaps the num-
Der of people we have in Los Angeles.
Why the Call should put our vote at
6,55S. giving US a population of only
about forty-five thousand is one of those
things only Northern California news
paper fellow can explain.

A Big consolidation.

CHICAGO, May 1.-The meetings OF the
stock holders of the North Chicago Roll.
ing Mill Company and the Union Steel
Company for the purpose of consolidst-
ing their interests with those of the Joliet
Steel Company, already outlined in these
dispatches, were held here to- day. Both
meetings were brief, and at their close ii
was stated that nothing definite had been
accomplished, and that they had adj
journed until tomorrow. The plan by
which this important move in the manu-
featuring world is to be accomplished is,
in brief, the increase of the capital stock
of the North Chicago Company to $780,.
100000, and the purchase with the
money, as accruing, of the plants of the
other two companies. The new concern
will be known as the Illinois Steel Com
pany, and will be the largest of its kind
IN the world.

crossing is reached. 1t will then follow
the County road for some distance, and
will next traverse the lands for which
the right of way is sought. No difficulty
is expected in obtaining these rights
over private property, and the ocean will
be reached by the shortest possible line.
The Sewer Committee is expected to get
through their work this week the ordi-
nance will then be published and an
election will be called to authorize the
issue OF bonds. We heartily hope that
the work will be done this week, and
that suggestions offered elsewhere in this

THE disease which has affected the
vines is confined mainly to the Missio n
grape. The Berger, Zinfandel and o.her
varieties seem to be impervious to the
malady. The remedial experiments,
made by Hon. J. DeBarth shorb and
other Viticultual Commissioners, have
been pronounced successful. Some Of
our vignerons, who have replaced tbs
Mission vines with other varieties, are
gratified with the result. The effect OF
the mysterious disease will probably be
TO retire the Mission grape from our
VINEYARDS. 1t has been successfully
grown here for one hundred years. and
il, perhaps, exhausted by age.

A Morttfying Incident.

1t is somewhat unfortunate, in view oil
the marked diplomatic friction which
has signalized the recent relations of the
United States and Germany, that any.
thing should occur to still further, and
unnecessarily, complicate them. 1t ap-
pears that Mr.. Bates, one Of the Samoan
Commissioners, and Lieutenant Parker
were refused admission to the Exhibition
formally opened by the Emperor at Ber'
lin yesterday, because they wore frock
coats, instead OF the regulation swallow
tail. This was distinctively an official
ceremony, and called for full dress or a
uniform. Undoubtedly the foreign Am
bassadors, at least those from monarchi
cal countries, attended in court dress
and the least that Mr.. Bates and Lieuten
ant Parker could have done-Parkel
having the privilege of his uniform-was
to have donned the regulation dress Of
American gentlemen. This would not
be exacted, doubtless, on the ordinary
days of the Exhibition. In Rome a dress
suit is de rigueur on the ceremonial
occasions at st. Peters and at the au-
diences granted by the Sovereign Pontiffs.
There is golden mean in such details OF
etiquette that our ministers abroad have
not always observed. Many of them
have adopted the ridiculous fashion Of
OF aping the ministers of monarchical
countries, and donning silk stockings,
tights, laced coats and sword. When
Franklin went as the envoy of the col
onies to the Court of Louis XVI. he ap-
peared in the brilliant Trianon in the
plain costume of a republican, and the
great philosopher WAS INDUCED in the
unheardof new departure. But there
are few Franklins, and his republican
simplicity was tolerated because he was
regarded as perhaps the greatest intel.
lectual light of his age. When Mr.
Buchanan went to the Court of st. James
as Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy
Extraordinary from the United States
it was intimated to him, by the
proper official, that he would be
expected TO appear in Court cos.
tume-tights, silk stockings, laced
coat and sword. He replied that he pro
posed to present himself at the drawing
room of her Britannia Majesty in the
dress of an American gentleman, and il
that was not satisfactory, he would moi
attend Court at all, but do his business
through her Maiesty's Secretary for For
eign Affairs. Mr.. Buchanan had a per-
feet right to take this attitude; and the
Queen, with her customary good sense,
conceded the point. He afterwards be-
came great favorite with Victoria and
with all classes of Englishmen. Where
Bates and Parker made mistake was in
not presenting themselves on an occasion
of state in the conventional garp of gen.
tlemen. They have doubtless been much
mortified by the incident, and they de-
serve to be. But the episode, consider
ing their official character, is highly morti-
flying to the people of the United States.
