THE entire freedom from religious big
otry which is beginning to characterize
the people of the United States is illus
trated by two incidents which at present
occur to us. The first is the waiting upon
President Harrison of delegation from
the Roman Catholic Centennial Con-
gress, with an address brimful of loyalty
to American institutions, and overflow
ing with good will to the President of the
United States. Mr.. Harrison's reception
Of his visitors was courteous and happy
as are most of his official acts.
The other is embodied in the
columns OF the North American Review
for November in the shape of an article
on divorce. The discussion is opened by
some suggestive statistics from the pen of
the Reverend s. w. Dixie, LII. D., and is
participated in, in separate papers, by
Cardinal Gibbons, Bis hop Potter, OF the
Protestant Episcopal Church, and by
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, who rep
resents the agnostic world. All meet
on an equal footing, and what
ever either of these doughty
controversialists may gain is directly re-
ferable to his wit and wisdom, one or
both. The Reverend gentlemen have
each large constituencies behind them,
but Col. 1ngersoll belongs to an sssocia-
ton which is beginning to be called the
"big church," because it comprises all

Political Refornsers.

CHICAGO, November 13.-In response
to call for National convention {
political reformers, irrespective OF party,
thirty Prohibitionists, twenty. four Union
Labor people, six Greenbackers and two
Republicans, assembled in Central Masic
Hall today to talk matters over. The
meeting was called to order by Alfred
CLARK, Of Chicago, and various topics
we're discussed. A call for those who ia
vored the equal suffrage of both sexes,
resulted in everybody standing except
one farmer from Iowa. Committees were
appointed. The object of the convention
is to establish union and consolidation
of the forces that possess the law making
power. There is q general feeling against
monopoly, the platforms of the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties, and the
saloon, and in favor Of universal suffrage
and civil service reform.
At tonight's meeting the Committee on
Resolutions presented the following:
Resoleed. That we commit ourselves to
financial reform, to the abolition of the
liquor traffic, to equal suffrage, tariff re-.
form and Government control of the
means OF transportation and communica-
tion.
A committee was appointed to pr epare
an address to the public.

IT IS pleasant to have the assurance
from Gen. Vandevsr of the great things
he ia going to do for Los Angeles in his
second term. Meanwhile, we know
what he has accomplished in his first.
The wretched trsvesty of q Federal
building out on Main street, adapted to
a town of twenty thousand people, and
away behind the needs of the present to
say nothing of the future importance of
this city, is a case in point. So
is the paralysis which has fallen
upon the government improvements
of the harbor of San Pedro.
The member from the Sixth District takes
refuge from his utter neglect of the in
terests of his constituents by talking
about the annexation of Lower California
and the appropriation of 100000 for the
harbor Of San Diego, which everybody
had supposed to be perfect already.
When our venerable and distinguished
representative does anything for this
county in Congressional halls the sky
will fall, and we shall catch larks.

MhaxY No Nane.

We have lying before US handsome
and unique little volume, without title,
whose author is represented by an inter-
rogation mark, but whose identity can be
shrewdly gueused. In its typographical
features the book is gem. II contains
several quite interesting stories, and is
ornamented by o number of water colors
which have a strong local coloring,
having been taken in the neighbor-
hood OF Long Beach and the San Pedro
Light House. The writer, who is evil
IDENTIFY of the feminine sex, wields q
graceful pen and is endowed with a vivid
Imagination. While the plan of her
work is not ambitious, it shows that che
is capable OF more serious tasks, and one
may we'll look for more pretentious work
from her hands. In sketch entitled
''The Love Story of Jesus and Refugia,"
she very clearly outlines the old
Bixby mansion, and gives a pen pic
ture OF q bull-fght which occurs therein
that is quite graphic and interesting. A
provoking typographical error makes
Refugia, the heroine Of the tale, Refugio,
a male. The authoress of this pleasant
work-scarcely more than a brochure
permits the reader to name a book
which she dedicates to no one in par
ticular. We suspect, from the dainty
style of the publication, and the fact that
it is without name, that it is not in
tended for extensive circulation, as it
would be hard, under the circumstances,
to ask for it at the periodical stores.

OUR PACIFIC INTERESTS.
Steps to he Taken for Their Proper
Protection.

WASHINGTON, November 13.-The re-
cent consideration by the Secretary of
State and Secretary of the Navy of prop
osition to purchase site for coaling
station on the Hawaiian islands,
for which the United States holds
the exclusive right under the
treaty negotiated by Secretary Freling-
huysen and Minister Carter, and
promulgated in 1887, has drawn atten-
ton anew to legislation for the protection
OF the interests Of the United States in
the Pacific. Shortly before the close of
the Fiftieth Congress an appropriation of
100000 was made to be dis
tributed by the President for the
protection Of American interests in
Samoa. This fund has some
thing Of confidential nature, and it
may be that detailed report OF it's dis
bursements will not be made. So far as
known the only charges against it are
the expenses of the Samoan Commission
at Berlin, last spring, the cost OF sending
home the sailors, both German and Am
erican, wrecked in the storm at Apia.
last March, and the expense of sending
gifts to the Samoans who distinguished
themselves by their bravery and service
on the occasion of that storm in rescuing
and succoring those in distress. An
appropriation of $780, 900 was also made
at about the same time towards the es-
tabliehing of a coaling station at Pogo
Pago, Samoa. OF this sum nothing has
yet been expended. A purchase was
made OF 10000 tons of coal at cost of
$4,000, which is stored there, but
it has not vet bsen decided whether
to charge the cost to the special
appropriation or to the regular naval
appropriation for the purchase Of
coal. Admiral Kimberly has made
survey and report upon the site for the
proposed station, which is now before
Secretary Tracy for his consideration.

AMERICAN TURF CONGRESS.
Several Changes tM Rules Adopted
at VaNteYdnK,S ueeIimg.


CHICAGO, November l2.--The annual
meeting of the American Turf Congress
today discussed the rules drawn up by
Secretary Bruce as amendments to the
present rules. The most important
change was the alteration of clause A of
rule At, to read: "There shall be no
dash race given for horses three years
old and upwards, less than one mile" This
was the only change that brought about
q division, it being adopted by vote Of
six to two, Judge Perkins, OF Latonia,
and L. Ezekiel, of Birmingham, being
the dissenters.
Section H in the preamble, reading:
"The subscribing jockey clubs agree that
no contract for betting privileges shall be
made with any association of book
Makers" was stricken out"
The rule in regard to foul riding and
fraud is changed to read: "Anyone ruled
off for fraud shall stand off for life."
Rule 169 was changed to read: "When

THE TRIAL,
CHICAGO, November 13.--In the
Cronin Gaze this morning, Judge McCon-
nell decided that the evidence as to the
trial and expulsion of DR.. Cronin from
the Clan-na-Gsel in 1885 is not admis-
sible.
Nothing of importance was developed
by the evidence today and an early re-
cess was taken. AT the opening of the
afternoon session the Stale's Attorney
said the case for the people was closed,
except the testimony of Clancy, OF the
New York Herald, who would be here
tomorrow. On application by the de-
fense for time to prepare its case the
Court decided to adjourn till Saturday.
Clancy will testify as to his conversation
with O'Sullivan.

IT APPEARS from a late dispatch that
the Modjeska-Booth sensation, tele.
graphed from New York, was fake
made out of whole cloth. The Countess
says that she never had any idea OF
breaking off her engagement with the
Booth Barrett combination, and that
there is no truth whatever in the report
shat she had charged Mr.. Booth with un-
gentlemanly conduct towards her. Mr..
Booth declares that the interview pub.
lished as having been had with
him never took place, and that
the most cordial business and profes.
sional relations subsist between himself
and the famous actress. 1t is very
strange that 80 fagrant a libel az this
could be committed and the author not
be detected, if there were desire, by the
parties who claim to have been aggrieved,
to punish him. 1t is hardly possible
that persons SO eminent in their pro.
fession as the principals in this sensa-
ton could wish to be advertised in this
very reprehensible way.

the abundant supply of excellent water
which is secured at the very brink of the
ocean, from twenty-four wells which have
been sunk by the company almost on the
rise of the sand dune which curbs the
oceans tides. There is no spring in the
Sierra Madre range which wells out q
fluid more crystal pure or more healthful
1t is pumped from the wells to reser-
voir on an eminence back of the
town, thus assuring an abundant supply
for all purposes, and ample for the ,fu-
ture, when Redondc shall have become
a populous seaport and famous watering
place resort. Prof. Whitney's theory of
Los Angeles county is that it is sand
stone basin, with the rim raised towards
the ocean, making thus perfect reser-
voir. On this supposition Prof. Whitney
based the opinion that artesian water
could be obtained anywhere in the Los
Angeles valley if one only went deep
enough. This Redondo Row, however,
is not referable to an artesisn impulse,
but undoubtedly comes from percolation
through gravel strata near the surface.
Inland from Redondo, on the line of the
Santa Fe road, one passes number of
srtesian wells that have nothing akin to
this fine deposit Of limpid, soft water on
the oceans rim. If it be true that the
Union Pacific is about to make Redondo
Beach its Pacific Coast terminus it is q
fine thing for the important place which
ia destined to grow up there that it has a
capital water supply right at its door.

THE BoLTERs ORGANIZE.

Tor Iowa.
THE BoLTERS ORGANIZE.
About fifty ladies, delegates to the
National Convention of the w. G. r. u,
had q meeting at the Palmer House this
morning in response to call issued by
Mrs. Watson. Of Pittsburg, the object OF
the meeting being to organize new
Woman's Temperance society, accord
ing to the ideas advanced by
Mrs. Foster and others in oppo-
sition to the ideas of Miss Will
lard and her followers. A provisional
committee of seven was chosen to pre-
pare an address to the country and per-
feet plan of organization. Mira. Phin-
ney, of Cleveland, was selected as Chair
man, it being impossible for Mrs. Foster
to accept the position owing to the large
amount of other work on her hands. Shs
will, however, give the movement her
most cordial support in all directions.
The committee will probably not issue
its address for several weeks, and after
it has been issued esll will be made for
national convention.
A FURTHER SPLIT PREDICTED.
A local paper says tonight that the bolt
of the Iowans and the new movement
created considerable discussion about the
headquarters of the w. G. T. U. 1t was
plain, it says, from the expressions that
the delegates to the convention were
sorry enough that the trouble had
reached the conclusion it did. The vote
of Miss Wizards reelection does not
express the feelings OF all on the subject
of partisanship and -partisanship,
and it is not unlikely that Mrs. Foster
will, in time, get quite a following from
ladies who have previously followed Miss
Wizards fortune and ideas. The split,
however, will not come until Mrs Fos-
ter's followers are thoroughly organized
and their principles declared.
MRS. FOSTER DISCUSSES THE SITUATION.
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster, speaking this
evening of the withdrawal of the Iowa
delegation from the w. q. 7. U. Conven-
tlon laet night, said the members deeply
regretted being compelled to take such a
course, but none other was left open to
them. They are still constitutionaly
auxiliary to the National Onion, and
must remain 60 until the next annual
meeting of the Iowa society. The pro-
visional committee today appointed by
the non-partisan women will begin ag-
gressive work OF once. They will
make no war upon the old 80
ciety, and wish it success in
its many lines of Christian
work. There are, however, large num-
bers of women who wish to do legitimate
te importance wcrk, and will not consent
to the mortgage of their political infiu-
ence. "Huhdreds Of ministers who can
not give their support to a partisan
organization have urged us to the step
We have taken," added Mrs. Foster.
"For myself, l expect our action will
greatly modify the partisan Course of tn I
National Union. The lines of partisan
ship and on-partisanship being defn-
itely drawn, will force many women to
think critically and come to logical con-
clusions.n
