EpIToRs HERALp-Tuesday night the
Hotel Alhambra presented brilliant
spectacle. Bright lights beamed from
every window from the tower to the
ground, the occasion being the formal
opening Of the hotel by the new pro-
prietor, Mr.. Crank, of Davenport, Iowa.
Skillful hands had transformed the large
dining.room into a model of artistic
taste and howery loveliness, palms and
ivy contrasting most pleasingly with the
brilliant-hued roses. The large porch on
the east side was enclosed with canvas,
smilax and roses.' Here the elegant
supper was served.
The guests began to arrive at o'clock,
and in a short time the attendance num-
bered fully $50, among whom were many
prominent society people Of Los Angeles,
Pasadena, San Gabriel and other towns.
The evening passed most pleasantly,
and after partaking of refreshments
the guests repaired tc the dining-room,
where to the strains of Dohs' orchestra
they tripped the light fantastic till the

The Canal Commissioners report that
since the landing of the constructing

succeeded in building up the foundations
of a town which win be called America.
They have landed material for and CON-

OF telegraph in construction (; cleared the
San Juan, Juanillo, Descada and Silico

OF the canal; organized per-
feet supply and transportation service,
hospital service and ambulance corps;
perfected sanitary arrangements and
done everything possible to win the good
will Of Nicaragua and show the world
what American push and intelligence
can do under the most difficult circum-
stances. TIE rapids in the San Juan
river will disappear as the water of the

The Rehabilitation Of the Navy.

The reports from. the heads of the
Navy Departments this year show that
good progress has been made in the
building up of the new feet of warships
constructed on modern principles. The
old wooden vessels will soon pass away.
Those that are still seaworthy may be
made available for transports or for light
coast duty and in the islands OF the Pa
ci6c. But for real war service, hereafter
only steel-clad ships, of great speed and
powerful armament, will be used. With
the completion OF the vessels now in
course ef construction and appropriated
for, the United States will possess ten
armored vessels, thirteen single-turreted
monitors, twenty-one steel cruisers, one
practice cruiser for cadets, one armored
ram, one frst-class torpedo boat and
seven iron steamers. This list of itself
comprises tolerably good-sized navy,
and compared with the inefficient and
rotten feet we had, after spending hun
dreds of millions during the era when
the Robesons and their peculiar methods
were in vogue, it is as frigate is to q
periaugua. The incoming Congress will
be called upon to make appropriations to
continue the work of increasing our fleet
of modern war vessels until we shall
have one able to compete with that Of any
of the great naval powers of the world.
The Democrats may contemplate with
pride the magnificent results in this re-.
spect of single Democratic administra.
tion. Up to the time that Cleveland be-
came President and Mr.. Whitney was
placed at the head of the Navy Depart
ment, our navy was a disgrace to the
country, and scorn and by-word on
every foreign lip. Mr.. Whitney, man
of great force, energy and intellectual
power-addressed himself to the build
ing up of new navy. Successive Re-
publican administrations had got away
with the enormous appropriations of sue.
cessive Congresses, but it remained for a
Democratic administration, with an
honest and capable Democratic Secre-
tary, to relieve the country from the
stigma that had adhered to it on this
score for years. The fruits of Mr.. Whit
ney's honest and intelligent efforts are
now materializing in the shape of feet
Of steel war vessels that will be equal to
all demands upon them, whether in
peace or war. The Democrats have
