The abuse of the eye is the crime of

the appearance of the organ itself, but
in its retroaction on the nerve and brain.

WASHINGTON, October 26. - General
Superintendent Bell, of the Railway Mail
Service, has made public important
changes in the transcontinental fast mail
service, to take effect November 10, 1889
On March 4, 1889, the time of going west
from New York to San Francisco was lbs
hours Is minutes, which was reduced to
11S hours As minutes on May 4, 1889, and
by November the schedule of fast mail
time going west from ocean to ocean will
be los hours As minutes. One very i'm.
portant feature is the fact that the train
will reach San Francisco early in the day
and the mails will be distributed by
10 a. m.
On March 4th the time from San
Francisco to New York was 141 hours
On May 4th the time was reduced to 12l
hours. The new schedule will reduce
the time from ocean to ocean
to Ill hours 80 minutes, tina,

New York at 10 ;35 a. M, with the mails
assorted 30 as to permit of immediate de.
livery. This is gain of 20 hours and
80 minutes on the March schedule, and
a gain of 10 hours and 30 minutes
on the May schedule, but as the arrivals
at both ends will be in the morning in
stead Of evening, it means gain of full
day over the May schedule in both direc.
tons.
The service for all large cities will be
adjusted to unite with transcontinental
trains at either Chicago, Council Bluffe
or Omaha, go that the advantages will
be reflected throughout the West.
There will be no change of cars west Of
Omaha, distance of 1870 miles. The
new arrangement carries with it some
very important features, as the General
Superintendent OF the Railway Mail Ser
vice will hereafter have the right to fix
the schedule from ocean to ocean. pro-
vided it is not made faster than the

NEW ORLEANS, October 26.-The Grand
Jury made a report today on the bond
steal. They state that during 189O-8l
$26O,O00 consolidated bonds we're ex.
changed, according to law, for four per
cents known as constitutional bonds.
Notwithstanding the exchange and the
positive mandates of the law recurring
their immediate cancellation, these
bonds we're retained intact until Nav G.
1882, and were used by Treasurer Burke
to that dsy for his private purposes. The
total fraudulent bonds put into circulation
by Burke amounted to 1878 900, including
$40, 900 of constitutional bonds. The
constitutional bonds were purported to
have been issued in exchange for certain
consolidated bonds, and had beer
numbered to correspond with. the ont
standing consols. In many cases Che
fraudulent numbers were duplicated, al d
in one case the same number was used
three times, The Grand Jury found fif-
teen or twenty indictments against
Burke, State Treasurer, including breach
OF trust, embezzlement and forgery, and
i've against other parties, including two
against W. A. Cockerton, formerly
Burke'e private secretary. The investi-

SENATOR MORGAN, of Alabama, spoke
up stoutly yesterday on behalf of this
section, and gave his really intelligent
Impressions of what he saw around him.
1t will be pleasant to the people of this
city to learn that this distinguished
member of the Senate is to remain in
Los Angeles for some time. He will be
able to see more of this incompatible
valley and of her rich resources. His
eloquent voice raised in our defense will
be most potent against the shallow
utterances of purblind sectionalism to
whose eyes the geese in its own barn

THE GREAT POWERS.
Bismarck Strengthening the
Triple Alliance.
HIS SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE.
england and Turkey Linked to the
coalition by Kindred In
terests.

copyright 1889, by N. Y. Associated Press
BERLIN, October 26. - The proposed
conference between Bismarck, Count
Kalnoky and Premier Crispi has been
delayed until after Emperor Williams
visit to Turkey. The political importance
of the event is not now denied. Bis.
marck's project is to construct a second
defensive line behind the Driebund, con.
sisting of England aud Turkey, not COM
mitted by treaty to the special purposes of
the Central European Alliance, but
linked by kindred interests; hence he is
maneuvering to commit Lord Salisbury
to new treaty with Turkey relating to
the permanent occupation Of Egypt.
RUSSIAN POSSIBILITIES QUIETED.
Bismarck's project in regard to the
Balkan settlement, as communicated to
the Gar, has led to temporary cessa-
ton of hostile Russian intrigues. The
Car has certainly consented to permit
the Chancellor to try to realize soms
modus vivendi, holding himself free to
resume independent action in the event
of the scheme falling through.
THE IMPERIAL PARTY IN GREECE.
News of the arrival of the Imperial
Piraus, was telegraphed here this after
noon. The kilograms state that heavy
weather was encountered, and the EN-
press was Frustrated with seaeickness.
The King and Queen Of Greece and the
Grown Prince received the Imperial party
at the entrance to the hsrbor. After
landing the party took train for Athens,
and on their arrival there they drove to
the palace in state carriages. The route
was lined with troops, and an immense
throng gave an ovation to the Imperial
party.
THE FOOD QUESTION.
The Socialists in the Reichstsg have
moved for the abolition of duties on all
provisions. Though there is abundant
proof OF terrible pressure on the poor
caused by the existing tariffs, it is i'm
probable that the Reichstag will grant
relief, though it is certain the food ques-
ton will be a prominent factor in the
coming election. A section of the Ma
tional Liberals will support the progress
lists demand for the abolition of port
duties.
HERR FREYTAG'S BOOK.
Freytag's book on the late Emperor
Frederick has created sensation. Prior
to its publication Bismarck advised, but
did not insist upon the suppression OF
certain passages. His complaisance is
attributed to Freytag's discourses on the
unwise interference of the Empress.
Another passage, grateful to Bismarck,
describes Emperor Frederick as afflicted
with morbid moods, and old in mind
and body long before his fatal disease at
tackled him. Hia vital energy, the book
declares, was no longer BETTING the heir
Of the Imperial crown. He often

BIDS ON CRUISERS.
The Proposals All Within the Ap.
prOprfaliOn Limits.

RIOPIAdtAOIl AAMEbSs
WASHINGTON, October 26.-Bids were
opened at the Navy Department at noon
in second endeavor to secure satisfac-
tory proposals for the construction of the
three 2,000ton cruisers, authorized by
act of Congress September 7, 1888. The
bids did not include armament or equip
ment. There were five bids, as follows
Union Iron Works, San Francisco, for
one cruiser, $775. 600; for two, 81 ,450,-
900; for three cruisers, $2,054 900, or
1854 667 each; N. F. Palmer. Jr., & Co..
New York, for one cruiser, 1914 900.
Columbia Iron Works, Baltimore, for one
cruiser, 1925, 900; for two, 81 ,225, 900,
this bid was the lowest; Bath Iron
Works, Bath, Me-, for one cruiser, $685.
900; for two, 81 $50 900; for three, 3d.
OPS 900; Harrison Loring, Boston, one
cruiser, 1914 900.
All these are bids OF Glass 1, hull and
machinery to be according to plans and
specifications of the Department. After
the reading of the bids, Secretary Tracy
expressed himself as very we'll satisfied
with the propositions made. The reduc-
ton of the required speed from eighteen
to seventeen knots per hour probably had
some effect, he said, but the determine
ton to build the 5000 ton cruisers at the
navy yards doubtless led the contractors
to bring their bids within the prescribed
figures.
In response to the suggestion that he
would have enough money LETT 10 equip
the ships out Of the appropriation, the
Secretary replied: "Oh, a great plenty.
With one ship for $674,00O and two
others for $235 ZOO there will be bal
ance OF $201 900 left for equipment,
$67, 900 each. Forty thousand dollars is
enough to equip vessel of that size, so
that we may have some to apply to the
payment of premiums for speed, if
earned"

PASADENA perhaps suffered more loss
OF population during the recent depres-
sion than any other city in Southern
California. Some of her own most in.
telligent citizens estimate her loss in popu
lation during the past year at from 1900
to 5000 souls. 1t is pleasing to know
that there is strong turn in the tide
there now. and that more people are
daily Aocking in. 1t has not been 30 en-
couraging as it might be to pass along the
lovely avenues of that place and see go
many really fine houses with signs of
'!to rent" posted in the windows. But
these are fast disappearing. Most Of the
good houses inside the city proper are
now occupied at satisfactory rates of
rental. The residences further out are
now being taken, and in few more
weeks there will be few good houses
there vacant.

ALAS FOR SULLIVAN!
The Coming Congressman Dis.
graced by Drunken COmpanions.

BosToN, October 26.-This afternoon
John l.. Sullivan and party of follow
ers, among whom were Tommy Kelly.
ex.champion featherweight, and Tommy
Shay, made the rounds of several sa-
Icons, finally bringing up in a barber
shop. Shay, who was considerably under
tie influence of liquor, had attempted
several times to engage Sullivan in CON
versation upon matters he did not care
to discuss, and had been told to desist.
While Sullivan was seated in a chair
getting shaved, Shay again began his
talk. Kelly then interfered, whereupon
Shay made an insulting remark to the
former, who quickly seized a razor and
inflicted terrible wound under Shsv's
left ear. Sullivan, in the meantime,
walked out of the place, entered a cab
and drove away. Kelly surrendered
himself to the police. Shay's wound is
considered extremely dangerous. All
sorts Of rumors regarding the ARRAY were
current.

THE FAITHLGSs SHAH.
AOw He Worked the COnfide IA &C
Game On Baron Reuter-.

LONDON, October 26.-There is loud
lamentatlon among the possessors OF
Persian bank shares, for news comes
from st.. Petersburg that the Shah has
presented to set OF favored Russians
precisely the same monopoly for bark
which Baron Reuter- secured from His
Highness here, and SO there are already
two big companies in the field. Baron
Reuter- is furious. Sixteen years ago, on
the occasion of the Shah's last
visit, the Baron paid the expenses of
a costly jaunt and got concessions
which would have been worth millions
if the royal confidence man had not re-
pudiated every one OF them the moment
he set foot again in his own dominions.
During his last visit, it is now saio, the
Shah found the Baron's duns rather
troublesome, and to quiet him gave him
a lot OF choice concessions. 1t looks now
as though the Shah had repudiated this
agreement as he did The first. and that
the Baron is again the victim of sharp
practice.

Mr.. HARRIsoN's administration is
chalking up a long score which will cost
it much to settle with the Western peo-
pie. Mr.. Window is as bitterly hated in
the mining regions, and is as thoroughly
despised as Corporal Tanner was in any
part of the country. The people of Col
orado are up in arms, and the Salt Lake
Tribune, one of the ablest, and at the
same time staunchest Republican papers
in the country, is dealing Mr.. Harrison

knocks on their financial policy.

The Chino Beet sugar Factory.

Negotiations for the establishment of
the beet sugar factory at Chino are still
pending, no definite determination hav.
ing yet been reached. Mr.. Grid has
been in San Francisco for couple of
weeks, directing his efforts to the accom-
plishment of the much desired result,
and his efforts have not been futile.
The sugar factory people regard the
Chino proposition with considerable
favor, although it is not yet known
what conclusion they will arrive at. AS
result of Mr.. Gird's visit to San
Francisco and his efforts. Mr.. Henry
L. Oxnard, the head of the company
with which Mr.. Grid is negotiating,
came down to Chino, arriving there or
Sunday and remaining until this
morning, when he left on his return
to San Francisco. The object of his visit
was still further to satisfy himself as to
the accuracy of the tests of sugar beets
that have been made, and as to the
favorable character of the soil for raising
the sugar beet. Upon both these points
he expressed himself fully satisfied. Ac-
companying Mr.. Oxnard was Mr.. Des-
PREF, who has lately come to America
from France in the interest of Mr.. Ok
nard and his company. An uncle of Mr..
Desprez in France cultivates 5000 acres
to beets, and is the owner of large fac
tory and refinery. Mr.. Desprez was
raised up in the business, and is espe-
cially an expert in soils adapted to the
culture of the beet. On his ar
rival in California Mr.. Deaprez ex-
pressed a very decided opinion
againet the raising of the sugar
beet on this Coast for the reason. as he
claimed, that the beet could not be sue
cessfully produced in any country where
vegetation grew the year round. On in
vestigatlon, however, at Jacksonville,
Alvarado and other places, and studying
1urther the soils and conditions, his mind
underwent radical change on this sub
]ect, and he is now considerable of an
enthusiast on the adaptability of this
Coast to the successful culture of the
beet. He Was liberal in praise of the
Chino for this purpose. The visit of these
gentlemento the Chino augurs we'll for
the success OF The present negotiations,
although it is not decisive. The fact
that Mr.. Oxnard manifested sufficient
interest in the matter to come here from
San Francisco to make still further inves.
LEGATIONS, proves that he is in earnest
and DESTROYS of establishing the factory
it he shall feel that the conditions will
reasonably justify the enterprise. The
expenditure of half million dollars in
putting in the machinery and getting the
establishment in working order is thing
to be thoroughly weighed and carefully
and no good business man
would Or will undertake to make SO large
an outlay without first satisfying himself
4 h n Sc
success. In making this visit at this
time and in masking haste slowly" Mr..
Oxnard has shown himself to be a
shrewd business man. What the result
will be it, of course, will be impossible to
forecast, but this much can be said, and
that IL that the visit Of Mr.. Oxnard and
Mr.. Desprez has resulted in increasing
The favorable impression which the for
ner gentleman has hitherto entertained
