Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-06-14

Los Angeles and Boyle Heights, and this
is in the line of legitimate improvements
to which no sensible man would object,
There is no law, however, which restricts
public betterments to any single section
of the city. If the public moneys are ex-
pended judiciously, no progressive citi-
zen will feel like protesting. The Third
street tunnel is positive neces-
sity for the accommodation OF
the large population living west of
the hills. Its estimated cost is sos 600,
and its length is eight hundred feet. Its
completion would be an immense con-
venience to a steadilysgrowing region.
As it is now, the people resident on the
western hill portion Of the city ere
obliged either to drive into town by
Temple or Seventh street, either route
involving an immense detour. This
nuisance should be avoided for the future,
by the building of a tunnel whose cost is
not excessive, and whose expense, under
the district system OF assessment, would
fall upon the property holders directly

THE TXPosIN CONVENTION.
The Home For Invalid Printers to
be at Colorado Springs.

DENVER, Col, June 13-At the third
days session of the International Typo
graphical Convention, the matter relative
to sending delegate to Paris during the
International Congress, which convenes
next month, was referred to a committee
of the whole to consider. An able dis
cussion was caused by the receipt of a
communication from the Knights of La
Dor in the matter of using plates in the
Government printing Offices at Washing
ton, d. G. The matter was referred to
committee comprising Sutton OF Wash
ington, Cassidy OF Trenton, N. j.,
Reichel of Bloomington, His, Metcalf of
Duluth, Mimi, and Richards OF Waco
Texas. Several propositions for the es-
tablishment for a home for invalid and
INDECENT printers were then submitted to
the meeting. The committee to which
they were referred reported unanimously
in favor of accepting the proposition sub
mitted by Sessions, of Colorado Springs,
who offered eighty acres of land, near
that city, as free gift on condition that
the home be started within two years
and completed within three years. The
Convention, amid much enthusiasm, by
rising vote, adopted the report OF the
| committee, both because Of the value OF
the land and because Colorado Springs
is the leading health resort of the coun-
try for lung troubles.
The reports of various committees were
taken up, the consideration of which
took up the remainder of the day. The
President ruled that there were no vacsn-
cies and, consequently. no election of
officers will be held until next year. An
appeal WAS taken and the ruling of the
| Chair sustained.
An elegant banquet was held at the
Windsor Hotel tonight. The Conven-
ton will probably adjourn tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Applications
at he State Department for information
respecting the contents of the cablegram

a point blank refusal. Secretary Tracy,
however, said the dispatch did not re-
veal the existence of dangerous state
