A CREDIT TO THE NAVY.
The Pelrel's Trial rip Eminently
SatfsfaCtOrV.

BALTIMORE, July 16 Although the
gunboat Petrol, which left here Saturday,
returned here this morning with part of
her machinery out of order, she has
shown herself a credit to the navy. The
secondary lnk-strap OF the low-pressure
valve broke yesterday on her return trip.
Before the accident she developed l 1,250-
horse power for short time, $50 more
than specified in the contract. She made
1874 knots while not under forced draft,
which indicates that she could have
made l6 knots under forced draft.
She turned completely around in five
minutes and thirty seconds. All the tests
intended were tried, except proceeding
under forced draft. Thursday, at the
request of the builders, she will make q
four hours trip under forced draft. If
the official report of the se-power
equals that of yesterday, the builders will
receive $4,000 premium. She met a
heavy sea at the capes, and rode the
waters bravely.
Lieutenant Commander Brainbridge
Hoff said he was never on a vessel that
kept her decks 30 dry in a heavy sea.

next General Assembly should be held
at Atlanta, Ga, the second Tuesday of
next November.
During the afternoon Mr.. Powderly re-
tired from the meeting and received
calls. In talking to reporter as to the
purpose of the board in coming west,
Mr.. Powderly said this is the meeting of
the Executive Board. called in Chicago
for the convenience of the northwestern
assem- blies. The statements of some
newspapers that it is to revive waning
influence in this portion of the country
and that the meeting is an exceptional
one, are false.
In reply to a query as to whether the
board had come west to confer in any
way with Barry's United Brotherhood
the General Master Workman said: "We
have no overtures to make to Mr.. Barry,
and no olive branches for him. There
has as yet been no complaint made to uH
of anything he has done, and know oi
no intention to meddle with his affairs
This matter is greatly exaggerated. We
don't hear nearly so much of the United
Brotherhood in the East. The talk OF il
is mainly in the West"
Concerning the present condition OF at
fairs in the Knights of Labor, he said
"At present we have membership ol
800, 900. When am asked to explain
the falling off, ask why should so many
come in. This present membership Ii
really an increase which l strongly op
pose. Much OF it is made up of thos'
who think strikes the solution of all evils
[ have opposed this membership from
the beginning"
Regarding the eight-hour day question
Mr.. Powdery said he was decidedly il
favor of reduction in the hours OF labor
but opposed to sudden measures. Thu
question is now before the order and will
be settled, if possible, by the mex
| General Assembly.

WEDNESDAY, JULY II, 1889.
yotu,Lack of Pub,ic spirit.

Los Angeles has attained such high
degree OF prosperity with comparatively
little effort that our people have suffered
themselves to fall into the rut of absolute
supineness. Under the auspices of the
State Board of Trade there is notably
fine exhibit of California products in San
Francisco. This display is visited daily
by great crowds from the Pacific Coast
and from the East. The space allotted
to this county is ample for an attractive
exhibit, but our people have utterly
neglected to avail themselves of the op.
portunity thus afforded. The display OF
Los Angeles products is absolutely
shameful from its incompleteness and
paltry character. 1t would be far better
that we should not be represented at all
than to have such contemplate misre.
presentation. The only feature of our
display worth any favorable notice what.
ever is that of Los Angeles oils, which is
fair and indeed even creditable.
As We have one of the most favored
countries under the sun, and as the range
of our products is almost limitless, there
ought to be no difficulty in making a fine
showing at San Francisco. We ought to
have that or none. Even in wines and
brandies, alth ough our sweet wines and
brandies are not surpassed in the State,
our display is wretched. We are away
behind Fresno, Santa Clara and Sonoma
in wines and dried fruits. In fact, we
are behind nearly every county in the
State.
Why should there not be thorough
representation of the several specialties
of Los Angeles county? In the season
our citrus fruits should challenge atten-
ton. So should our olives and the
cereals. Our manufactures ought to be
fairly represented, especially those which
depend upon staples produced here. We
have beautiful specimens of terra Gotta
work and brick. The Messrs. E. ]. Bald
win. ]. de Barth Shorb and others
should provide the Exhibition with
nicely put up packages of wines and
brandies. Mr.. E. j. Bsldwins display
at the New Orleans Exposition was the
finest thing of the kind there. He
should arrange for something similar for
the San Francisco display.
The visitor from the East who strolls
into this State exhibit is excusable for
getting the impression that Sonoms,
Napa and Santa Clara counties make all
the wines in the State of California. In
the season for citrus fruits, by gathering
mp all the oranges they produce, many
counties of this State, that never sue
ceeded in making the growing of this
fruit commercial success, appear to
better advantage than this county, where
the cultivation of the orange was first be-
gun on the Pacific Coast.
Why is this thus? Cannot our people,
with their infinite resources, afford to
make play for the interest and admira-
tion of the tourist? Can we
not put our best foot forward
like other counties which have not q
tenth of our resources, but which are
splendidly represented in this San Fran.
cisco display? The Board of Trade and
Chamber of Commerce should take thi-
matter earnestly in hand and stimulate
our people to proper efforts. We should
either do that or withdraw the wreiched
travesty of an exhibit which now dis.
graces Los Angeles.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
An office Building RecOmmend ded
for the Presidents Use.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Col. Wilson,
Commissioner of Public Buildings and
Grounds. in his annual report to the
Chief Engineer, recommends that an Of
flee building be erected for the use of the
President, just west of the White House,
and where the green house and conserva-
tory now stands. 1t is believed, he
says, that the time has come when the
Chief Magistrate of the country should
no longer be obliged to have his private
residence and office under the same roof.
CALIFORNIA IMPROVEMENTS.
Major Heuer, in charge of improve
ments in California, north of San Fran
cisco, makes the following estimates for
expenditures during the year ending
January 80, 1891, on the works named:
Improvement of the San Joaquin river,
Stockton and Mormon slough, $112 600;
Sacramento and Feather rivers, $48 600;
Petaluma creek, $4,000; Hum boldt
harbor and bay, to finish training wall !,
| 1887 500. The Mokelumna river project
has been completed within the past year,
Major Heuer reports.
ARID LAND SURVEYS.
Major Powell, Director of the Geo.
graphical Survey, reports to the Secre-
tary OF the Interior the progress that has
been made in the surveys for the irriga-
ton and reclamation of arid lands in the
| West. The data given are drawn from
statements of what was done during
May. In Colorado, the report states, an
approximate area of $500 square miles
was surveyed, and in California 900
square miles. The work of scheduling
the lakes of the West, preparatory to
their selection and withdrawal for use as
reservoir sites, was materially advanced.
MISCELLANEOUS.
1t is estimated that $65 900 can be
profitably expended on the improvement
of the Yellowstone river.

Californians today: Homer H. Allen,

Chicago Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, July 16.-The Chicago Boar(
OF Trade today adopted resolution de-
claiming against the recent decision o
the Court, but resolving to restore the
market quotations withdrawn on the 31s
of May. This is done, the board alleges
to avoid an unjust discrimination
in favor OF the parties whose pending in
functions prohibit the withdrawal OF
quotations from the public. The reso.
luton concludes by stating that this
action is taken without prejudice to
the right now claimed and insisted
upon by the Board of Trade OF the city
of Chicago to control its market quota
tions, and to hereafter modify or repeal
this resolution as in the judgment Of its
Board of Directors may seem expedient
and proper.

THE statement that the river bed at
the southeastern corner of the city is
thirty feet higher than the southwestern
corner, is put forth as a conclusive argu-
ment against carrying the outfall sewer
in any other direction than Balonawards.
Suppose the river bed is thirty feet higher
at that point. what does that prove? 1t
is not necessary to build the sewer
at that point. The sewer now proceeds
by way of Vernon, and it need no,
reach the river bed until after it has
passed Florence. The river is low
enough there to act as an outfall conduit.
The sewage of the city will all be wanted
in that direction. The lands that need
it and that would pay for it lie there
away. There is difficulty and waste and
serious opposition by the Ballona route.
By the Florence route there are all the
conditions inviting the sewage.

THE Times undertakes to make light of
the Hon. Michael Whaling, the Demo,

treats these slurs with the contempt
they deserve. Knowing that he is labor

citizen relies for his vindication on the
good sense and sagacity of his fellow

Lord Salisbury, in a speech at Mile

nothing new to say on the subject.
