The street Car strike.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 16.--Six days have,
passed since the street cars quit running
In Minneapolis. Despite President
Lowry's assurances to the contrary, no
attempt was made to-day to take out the
cars. As far as the public can see, the
Car Company has not made any effort to
furnish transportation to the public
beyond the attempt of last Friday.
The company claims to be anxious
to move the cars, when the Mayor prom
ises police protection. He will not prom
Use this until the new officers sworn in
are better organized. The opinion pre-
walls that the company has not succeeded
in obtaining anywhere enough men,
hence the shop employees were informed
this morning that they would be required
to take out cars. They quit work shortly
after 10 O'Clock. All efforts to settle the.
trouble by arbitration seem to have been
abandoned.
KANSAS CRY. April 16-Fifty men
from Western Kansas have started for
Minneapolis to take the places of the
street-car strikers there. They went in
response to an offer of So per day for

THE law passed by the last Legislature

THE law passed by the last Legislature
OF New York requiring the telegraph and
electric companies to run their wires
under round is not going to prove vain
statute, as the work of demolishing the
poles in New York city was commenced
yesterday under the order of the Mayor
The companies had sued out an injunc-
ton, and the Court, after hearing, dis
solved it. Some of the New York
papers said that the law could not
be enforced, as the great corporations
were too strong to be brought to terms.
The event would seem to indicate that
there is still some authority left which
even the great monopolies must obey.
If the wires can be worked underground
in New York, they can be operated the
same way in other cities. Telegraph
poles have come to be as much of a
nuisance in the streets of Los Angeles as
elsewhere, and if the new departure is a
success in New York, it will be followed
up in this and all other cities.

THE Ladies' Flower Festival this year
will not be behind any of its predeces-
sors. Indeed, it will surpass them all
in the variety and abundance of the
floral displays that will render the Pa7il-
ion a thing of SURPRISING beauty and
attractiveness. The great hall opened
last night with scene of fairy lowell
ness, and Titania, with her train,
might have reveled in floral banks
as rich and fragrant as ever
made the gardens of Gul or the
parterres OF Ispahan classic with the
descriptive poets. Elsewhere will be
found detailed account of the beauties
OF the exhibition. The season has been
exceptionally favorable for a successful
display of the wealth and variety of Los
Angeles in flowers; and the visitors will
have fine opportunity to apprecia-e the
labors of the ladies who have exhibited
so much energy and good taste in embel-
fishing the Pavilion.

A SAN Diego paper, speaking CT the

A SAN DIEGO paper, speaking CT the
objections made by certain prudes
of that city to the recitation OF
"'Ostler Joe" by young lady OF that
city, opines that, in order to suit the
inefably modest class OF Ewes daughters
which is largely represented in San
Diego, the story of Mary Magdalen, in
the Revised Version Of the New Testa-
ment, must have been modified. Our
contemporary shares a very common
misapprehension in regard to the char
acter of Magdalen. There is not in
the whole of the Gospel narra-
tive the slightest indication that
she was an abandoned woman Of the
class that is relegated by modern re-
formers to thoee institutions which are
most inappropriately called "Magdalen
Asylums." We are, indeed, told that
she was possessed of seven devils, but it
is generally agreed that demoniac pos
session, in scriptural times, meant simply
a form of insanity. There is, conse-
quently, no necessity for such modifca-
ton of the story as our contemporary
suggests, even if an "unco guild" matron
of San Diego should have the expurgat-
ING thereof.

THE STEAMER DANMARK
Her Former Captain Speaks
Highly of Her.
ONE OF THE STRONGEST SHIPS.
A Theory that Her Crew and Pas
sengers were Picked Up by
Sailing Vessel.
{ associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

[ associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
PHILADELPHIA, April 16.-Captain
Smith, of the British steamer Lahapdre,
which arrived this afternoon from
Antwerp, was the commander of the ill
fated Danmark before her change of
ownership, and was much concerned
when he learned of the disaster which is,
said to have overtaken her. Captain
Smith, when questioned, said that
the Danmark was a remarkably
strong vessel. She was built in
water-tight compartments, had water
tanks from the bridge aft, and was extra
braced with iron about her upper works.
SIN fact," he added, "she was one of
the strongest-built iron vessels was
ever in. | commanded her when she
was sold, just previous to her last trip,
and was her chief officer prior to that,
and would not wish to sail in better
ship. Captain Smith said, further, that
he had crossed very close to where the
vessel was sighted. "If the
boats were picked up" he contin-
ued, "by sailing vessel, her
proper course would be to stand for the
Irish Channel. Oh course no sailing ves-
sci would continue her voyage with such
a crowd on board, unless the port she
was bound to was the most easily reached.
1t would take longer for the vessel to
make the Azores than fetch the Irish
coast from where the Danmark was seen,
because the wind would be mostly ahead.
The distance to the Fastnet Light would.
be about l, 100 miles, and with the winds

Cutting Down .he Poles.

New YORK, April 16.-The work of
cutting down the telegraph poles contin-
ued until nightfall to-day, and will be
resumed again early tomorrow morning.
The only poles left standing by the work.
men were those which hold the fire de-
paitmeut wires. These will all be re-
moved by that department this week.
The electric light, telegraph and tele-
phone people are helpless, and say that
they can only grin and bear it.
A part Of the city was in darkness as
the result of the first days work among
the wire poles. The only illumination
to the great plazas was from lamps in
the eide streets where the circuits had
not been cut off. Gas jets flickered along
the road in Broadway, but in the cross
streets where the poles had been cut
there was absolute darkness early in the
night, so that in 14th, 23rd and
End streets, pedestrians picked their
way, lighted only by the diffused glare
in the sky, against which the housetops
broke in dark and jagged lines. Fifth
avenue was as dark as country street,
and few people were astir upon it. Late
at night the moon rose, the dark streets
were lighted, and many who. in the
electric light, seldom know If the moon
is shining, tonight remarked that fact.

THE arrival in Los Angeles yesterday
of q detachment Of one hundred and
twenty-five men of the corps d'elite OF
the City of Mexico is strong indication
that the United States, instead of start
ing out to conquer the land of the Monte
yuma, is in danger of being gobbled up
itself. We suggest to our esteemed con-
temporary, the Tribune, that it has put
the cart before the horse. The tempo
rary and undeserved prominence OF the
Samoan question will disappear when it
is learned in Washington that this
mighty movement of troops has taken
place. We are evidently on the eve of
great events, and blood appears nightly
ON the face OF the moon.

WE PUBLISHED an offer in yesterdays
HERALD that had been presented to the
Trustees of the State Reform School
from the Providencia Land and Water
Company, which, for thoroughbred gen.
erosity, was certainly the most conspicu-
GUS of any that was made. The COM
pany offered to give to the State as site
for the school eighty acres of land just
back of Burbank. With the right attaching
of flow of eight inches of water. When
the value of the land is taken into con-
sideration, together with the location of
the site, within five miles Of Los An
geles, and the liberal guarantee of water,
we have no hesitation in saying that the
offer was a princely one, and reflects
the highest credit on the Provi-
dencia people for generosity and
public spirit. Whilst we are not
prepared to say that Whittier was not the
better selection for the special purpose on
account of its more retired situation, yet
we cannot forbear publicly attesting our
appreciation of the handsome proposi-
ton made by the Providencia Land and
Water Company.

Why cannot the people Of Los Angeles
have a Washington Inauguration Cen
tennial of their own? The 30th of April
will be great national holiday all over
the country. We have all an equal
interest with New York in the
great historical event to be COM
memors.ed. That event in reality
marks the successful beginning of
the United States as civic power; and,
although Los Angeles cannot boast, like
New York, of having been the scene OF
any of the acts of the Revolution, yet as
an important portion of the great country
that has sprung from that event, we feel
that we should not let the Centennial
pass without some public demonstration.
We have a number of fine military
companies that would be delighted
to parade; we have numbers OF
civic societies that would be willing to
turn out; We have Fire Department
that yields to no other body of men in
the country for presentability, patriotism
and public spirit. With such material
for demonstration there ought to be nc
difficulty in getting up Los Angeles
celebration that would be credit and q
delight. We would suggest that the Los
Angeles Historical Society take the in-
itiative. If they will, the rest will
follow.

RESULT OF A STRIKE.
The Franchise of n Street Car Conn
PanY Threatened.

ST.. PAUL, April 16.-The street-car
strike at st. Panl has reached the Legis-
lature and was acted upon by that body
this afternoon, the City Railway Com
pany being knocked out in the first
round. This is the fourth day of the
strike and no attempt has been made to
start cars or otherwise to accommodate
the public. The Legislature prob
ably, on this account, acted
more promptly than it would otherwise
have done. The matter came up in the
shape of a bill by Willrich, which re-
peals the previous act validating the old
ordinance giving the St. Paul City Rail-
way Company exclusive privileges on
the streets of this city, and the bill
was passed by vote of 66 to 16. The
effect Of this legislation, which will
probably pass the Senate, is to throw
open the matter of the exclusive right to
the streets, and leave the decision of that
matter to the courts.
MNNEAPoLs, April 16.-The street-car
tie-up continues. No attempt has been
made to run cars since Friday.

BEET SUGAR is about to have boom in
this State. A company has just been
incorporated in San Francisco to estab'
Hsh refineries at all points where the
sugar beet can be successfully grown.
The men at the head of this enterprise
are in earnest, and look forward to an
output from their refneries of from fifty
TO sixty thousand tons of sugar per an
mum. They incorporate with capital OF
i've million dollars, Claus and John D..
spreckels taking one-half the stock.
Such solid men as Louis Sloss,
+. Ehrman and A. L. Cuts are
in the directory. This movement
will give Los Angeles chance to
fully develop her sugar-bee in
dustry. There is no doubt that we can
produce as fine sugar beet in this
county as can be produced anywhere in
the world. This was shown in 1880,
when Remi Nsdeau planted out an ex-
tensive field of that vegetable on his two
thousand-acre ranch at Florence. by
the ignorance of pretender much OF the
syrup produced from his beets was
suoiled in the process of refining. But
large Quantities Of them were shipped 10
the refinery at Alvarado with resultant
s,sar extraction some twenty-five per
cent greater than had been obtained from
northern beets. With this well ascer-
tanned TACT. there will be no difhculty
in occurring for our county one or more
re6neries, If the farmers will only supply
the quantity Of beets required.

The Mainero and How 20 Treat IL

The mainerO and HOW TO Treat 1t.
An Eastern paper has the following on
the grape disease which has been giving
growers on that side of the continent as
much trouble as it does ours on the Pa
cific Coast:
Ex-President Pearson gives in the
Philadelphia Press an extended resume
of his experiments the past season with
the various formulas of copper mixture
for diseases of the vine. He concludes
that bis experiments fully demonstrate
the efficacy of the Bordeaux mixture as
o preventative of black-rot If applied
early and often. He made the applica-
tions May Goth, June 4th and 21st, July
% aud 11th. and August 8th. The mix
ture he used was as follows 6 lbs. OF
powdered sulphate of copper dissolved
in gallons of hot water. In another
vessel slack 4 lbs. of new lime in gal
Ions of water, mix the two solutions and
dilute with water to make % gallons OF
liauid. The resultant solution is whit
ish LIQUID similar to the milk of lime.
The Eureka spraying machine which he
uses is adapted to deliver this
mixture without clogging, and
man with this machine can
treat five acres per day. In bad sea-
sons he thinks the spraying should be
done every three weeks. commencing
before the vines open their buds in the
spring. He thinks on an average forty
five gallons of this mixture is about
enough for one treatment of an acre Of
vines, and the cost of treating an acre in
an ordinary season is about two dollars.
The fruit on the row treated with the Bor-
deaux mixture weighed eighty pounds,
while on the untreated row it weighed
two pounds. All the various mixtures
tried showed beneficial results, but none
compared with the above in efficacy.
He says no fear may be entertained
among timid ones that any poison Turks
among the grapes, resultant from this
treatment, French authorities assure
Ms that chemical analysis OF the grapes
does not discover a trace OF copper In the
product of the sulphated fruit.
1t seems from the above that we at last
have deliverance from the most formida-
BILE scourge attending grape growing:
Hurry up with those eprayers, Colonel
We are getting impatient.-LOrchard anu
Garden.
1t will be seen that this black disease
is 30 new thing in grape-growing. 1t is
called malnero in Italian, where it has
troubled vignerons for many years. 1t
is well known in France, as appears
