land, smiled very sweetly, and there
vas Q blank look on the faces of some of
he listeners from this city.
Senator Stanford again spoke up.
There are plenty of Independent rea-
ions why the city should be located
where it is and nowhere else. Besides, it
g rather late to be changing its loca-
ion."
"But the cost of these propose d
changes will be 80 enormous' said the
Maine man.
-Four millions?" said the California
man. "The interest on that sum at two
per cent, at which the Government can
get all the money it wants, will be
$50 900 year. That is mere bagatelle
with what the railroads are
expanding on improvements on this
Coast"
swell, what do you export from here ?
What do you produce and send away
through this port? ?"
General Briefly explained that it was
rather port of import than of export ;
but, as the country developed, more
products would be sent out through San
Pedro.
At this point some one in the crowd
began to talk about the great number OF
harbors which had been improved on the
coast of Maine, Mr.. Frye's own State,
and of the hundreds of millions which
had been spent there by the Govern
ment. The Senator hastily interrupted
him with the remark that the harbors Of
Maine were natural, and needed as a
rule only moderate sums for improve
ment.
As the party turned to 60 back to the
cars the Senator from Maine seemed to re.
lent little of the rather brusque remarks
he had made and said: "When the time
comes the interests of this section will
be thoroughly investigated and the posi-
bility of making harbor here will be
decided upon by competent judges. A
fair hearing will be granted to your prop.
osition, whatever it may bs, and if this
section has been really neglected shall
be among the first to stand up for its in
terests.
The Tbs attitude taken by Senator FRYE
was evidently not that of the other Sen
ators of the party. Senator Morgan, o.
Alabama, expressed himself to the effect
that from this time forth he would en-
deavor to cast his vote for exactly equal
appropriations for the two coasts. The
interests of the Pacific Coast, he said
had been long enough neglected for those
of the Atlantic. A vast trade lay open
in this direction, not only to China
and Japan and India, but also
to Central and South America. In 6
rather confidential way the Senator from
Alabama expressed himself in clear Ian
guage concerning the great power ant
influence exercised by the northeastern
portion of the nation, and the disposition
of that section to ignore or treat unjustly
the West and the South. Senator Davis
of Minnesota, and several other of tn,
western men expressed the belief tina
the situation was one which called TO
prompt and liberal action on the part o
the Government.
The train then ran back to Los Angeles
and was shifted from the track of tn,
Southern Pacific to that of the Santa Fe
and at about half-past 10 the party wa
in Pasadena. A number of carriages wer,
at the depot, and a committee of promi
nent citizens, including the Council, wer'
on hand to greet the visitors. Th
Senatorial party and most of the Los An
geles visitors were placed in the carriages
and driven all about Pasadena and GU
to the Raymond. The Pasadena gentle
men who took charge of the entertain
ment were W. U. Masters, President Q
the Board of Trade; Enoch knight, @. G
Brown, General J. D. Mcbride, A. G
Throop, Alex. Mclean, Stephen Town
send, J. B. Younge, W. W. Mills, Franz
J. Policy and B. A. O'Neil.
The empty train moved down to Ray
mond and there picked up the member
of the party who had been conveyed tt
that place in carriages. A quick ruI
was then made back to this city and tn,
train brought up at the Southern Pacifi.
depot at IL 80.
After lunch and rest the party wa
ready to see Los Angeles, and for thi
part OF the programme number of Car
riages were in readiness. These were al
private carriages in each case, the owne
going along either as driver or guide
The gentlemen who rendered this atten
ton to the party were: Major Geo. H
Bonebrake, II. G. Wilmer, M. L. Wicks
DIR. M. Hagan, A. H. Denker, J. B
Lankershim, g. Wiley Wells, W. Il
Workman, Baron Rogniat and Herve,
Lindley. In addition to those who were
in the party in the morning, J.. Frank
enfield and Judge Brunson assisted il
this part OF the entertainment.
The Senators were driven about tn,
city in this way, visiting all the best res
idence sections and the business streets
They paid visit to the City Hall, tn,
Library and the site of the new Fedora
building. Each was supplied with in
formation with regard to the status of th.
work on the building, and the reasons
why the appropriation should be in
creased. In almost every case the Sena
tors promptly expressed the opinio,
that the desired extension of the build
ing should be voted.
At O'Clock the party returned to th,
train, and it was conveyed to Santa Mon
lea, in order that the Senators nigh
respond to the invitation of Senate
Jones and spend day or two at his resi-
dence. A telegram received YESTERDAY
from Senator Jones, who is in San Fran
cisco, announced that he would be dowI
on the evening train, and the Southern
Pacific supplied him with a special trair
to get to Santa Monica, where he will
greet his guests.
The horticultural Co nmissfOn.
The County Horticultural Commission
met at 8 a. m. yesterday. Present
Messrs. Hamilton, Kercheval and Drift
fill; President Hamilton in the chair.
Mr.. Hamilton reported that at the re-
cent experiment made in Orange, the
cost of the gas treatment was reduced tc
one-third OF the former figure, or about
tWenty.six cents per tree, and the time
