Speciel to the Gazette.
QUNTANA, Ten. July 25.-The recent
food, which did so much damage to
crops on the low lands, has assisted
greatly IN securing deep water at the
coming Texas seaport, so that the dam
age in one direction is more than offset
III another. The fTeshet secured a chan
mel twenty-five feet deep as far is the
jetties are built, above one thousand
feet, and has secured a channel twenty
feet deep out 22O0 feet. The rise also cut
a channel seven feet deep across the bar
directly in front of the jetties. Pile and
trestle work is completed ont $500 feet,
and the mattress work is out to POO feet,
and on the east jetty the. piting and
trestle work is completed out to 2400 feet,
the mattress work being cut 2300 feet.
The damage done by the hoOd amounts to
about four hundred dollars, and the
benefits gained many thousands.

Trust full Evolution.
New York Herald.

Fifteen years ago trusts were regarded
as opposed to the best interests Of the re-
public They destroy competition, we
are told, and competition is the life of
the people.
Five years ago the trust was said 20 be
a tolerated evil. Combination of capital
is necessary to reasonable prSdts, cried
the wiseacres. If IabOrers unite TO pro-
tect themselves why shOuldn { corpora
tiOns do the same thing for the same rea-
son?
Nov adays we are told that competition
is hostile to progress, that prices are al
ways lowered by big syndicates and that
the ideal community is one IN which the
rich get everything and the poor nothing.
The little egg has Matched out pretty
big snake.

Blue Cod Found in San Diego Waters.

FROM lne oan DlegO (CaL) sum-
The recent discoveries of new fishing
grounds off the coast by the scientists of the
Fish Commission ship Albatross came up in
conversation this morning with San Diegan
who has given the science of ichthyol ogy
much study. "There is yet another discov-
cry" said this student (which have seen
no mention of. 1t is food fish of much i'm
portance that was very recently discovered
in the waters of San Diego. 1t is known to
scientists as Ophiodon elongatus. Hitherto
1t has not been found to exist further south
than Santa Barbara, but has been discovered
in abundance from there north to Alaska,
and in northern waters reaches a weight of
fiom 80 to 40 pounds. The other morning
one was brought in from outside the harbor
by fishermen, and the fish weighed or 6
pounds. The men said it was as plenty as
any of the fish caught 1t is variously known
Buffalo cod and ling. II is long, rather
slender, fish. not unlike the barracuda in
shape, but shorter, and of blush green col
or, spotted ON the back with brown. The
blue or green color is considered objection
able by some, but this would not deter any
from taking to it, as the flesh becomes white
on cooking, and In San Francisco it is con-
sidered to be a finer favored fish even than
the esteemed rock fish or rock cod;
"There is another fish of a similar blush
green color more or less mottled with green
and brown, which Is not nearly as fine for
food, and should not be mistaken for the
first. although, like the other, Its flesh be-
comes white on cooking. This Is broad
headed sculpin, much shorter and stouter
than the first, but the Cinnamon sell 1t as a
cod, name that would be misleading"

Inquiries were made last night of several
prominent citizens concerning the police bill
introduced into the House yesterday by
Representative Looney, but the only gentle
man who manifested any knowledge of the
bill was Marshal Hawkes.. lie said that he
did not know the bill was to be introduced
yesterday, but he had heard there was talk
of introducing it. He said the origin Of the
bill was unknown to him, but it met with his
approval on account of the deputies, because
it tended to prevent change in the event of
a change In the administration.

Last evening, at the performance by the
American Opera Co., the curtain did not rise
until one hour and five minutes after the adj
vertised time. The great audience bore the
long wait with remarkable patience The
trouble was financial one. Mr.. Stock
bridge in part payment of the opera COM
pany, gave the manager the check of well
known citizen for $500. The manager
wanted cash, not because he doubted the
goodness of the check, but because this city
and its people were strangers to him. 1t
was an hour. just prior to the evening per-
Torrance, when it isn't easy to raise $500
cash in few moments, but as soon as Mr..
Stockbridge's friends understood the diff
Guilty they quickly made up the cash and the
