The Canned Goods Men.

CHICAGO, February 15.-At the meet
ing this morning of the Western Packers
Canned Goods Association, much enthu-
siasm was created by speech by E. s..
Judge, Of Baltimore, recommending that
the Association form trust. William
Boulter, ex-President of the Canadian
Packers, also made speech, attracting
particular attention. He wanted free tin
plates, but did not mean by that that
he was in any sense in favor of free
trade. After great deal of discussion
it was decided that committee should
be selected to go to Washington and en-
deavor to have the tariff on tin removed.
This is to apply also to cases exported
and to all food products encased in tin

| Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
WASHINGTON, February 15.-The Sec
retary of War to-day transmitted to the
Senate, response to the resolution call
ing for information relative to the issu-
ing of the confidential order, January 4,
1886, by General Benet, Chief of Ord
nance, instructing the commanding off
GERS of the national armories and arsenals
to favor Democrats, other things being
equal, in their appointments and dis
charges from service, the object, as
stated in the order, being to divide the
force gradually between Republicans and
Democrats. Secretary Endicott says
that during the year 1885 there were
numerous applicantions made to him, on
behalf of mechanics, artisans, and
others for employment in the arsenals
and armories, and that, as is we'll under
stood, these appointments do not fall
within the provisions of the civil service
laws. These applications for employ
ment, the Secretary says, came mainly
from persons who claimed that they had
been hitherto excluded from such en-
ployment because they were Democrats.
He adds: "The reply made to such
applications was, that no removals would
be made of deserving and efficient work
men merely on account of their political
opinions, but, as vacancies occurred, if |
the applicants we're competent to perform |
the work required of them, and were
otherwise qualified, and their services
needed, they would be received. This
decision was strictly adhered to-"
In conversation with the Chief cf
Ordnance the Secretary suggested that,
as a majority of the places in the ar
mories and arsenals were held by Repub-
Leans, in making changes, the preference
should be given to Democrats, until the
were substantially divided be-
tween the two political parties. The
Chief of Ordnance approved the sug-
yestion and issued the order mentioned
IN the resolution. The Secretary says he
lid not see the order itself until two or
hree months after it was issued. but it
was not intended to include the discharge
If workmen on account of their political
opinions, and was not so construed by
he officers to whom it was addressed.
No removals, the Secretary continues,
nave been made on account of the order,
Ind at the Springfield Armory, Massa-
,husetts, the largest of all the armories,
here has been only sixty.four changes
or permanent workmen since January,
1886, in force of about 4S0 men. The
Secretary says he had no desire to con- y
zeal the order, and does not know why j
t was marked confidential. He says no
measures have been taken by the War
Department to learn the political opinions
f the women and children in its employ
nent, and that General Benet states that
he circular was made applicable to them
because it had been found, by long ex-
that disputes over politics were
IS prevalent among this class as among
heir husbands and fathers.

A Pilot Reaten.

SAN Francisco, February 15.-Judge
Sawyer this morning rendered a decision
in the case of E. M. Freeman, pilot,
against the ship Undaunted, on appeal
from the District Court. This was a suit
for half pilotage, and the only point to
determine was whether the law of Cali
fornia upon this subject was not in con.
flict with that of the United States and
therefore void. Judge Sawyer decided
that the State statute was void, and, con-
sequently, the decision of the lower
court was sustained, the case being de-
cided against Freeman.

A SEVERE STORM.

Heavy SHOWS i'm the Mountnfns-
Redond0 Pier Damaged.
At an early hour yesterday morning
storm commenced to rage west OF the
Rockies, and was severely felt in South
ern California. Los Angeles even got a
taste of it, for windstorm ragged through
out the day, reaching at one time vel
ocity of twenty-six miles an hour, but
doing thing or, ser Is than remov-
ing the headgear of many pedestrians.
and causing a good many humorous
street scenes. Reports received by
the HERALD from outlying districts
indicate that the weather has been
unusually severe throughout this section.
The telegraph operator on Mt. Tehachapi
said that he was surrounded by six
inches of snow, and the manipulation of
the key at the summit of the Cajon said
that the snow was falling heavily and
that such storm had never before been
remembered there. 1t was also reported
showing at Cucamonga, Beaumont, Ell
Casco, Cabazon and other foothill cities,
while at Vernon, Whittier and other
valley towns binding dust-storm made
life out of doors very unpleasant. Rain
fell in good many districts, half an inch
being recorded at Sierra Madre, in fact
there was a heavy shower in Los
Angeles early in the day, the
glasses showing fall of .02 inches. An
arrival on last nights train said that
when be left Sacramento it was almost

on account of the sand and dust storm,
and all the way down the weather was
equally bad. Heavy clouds are gathered
north of the mountains bounding this |
city, while to the south and on the
deserts it was raining furiously all day
The most serious damage
yet reported is at Redondo Beach, where
L50 feet of the fine, new wharf, together
With the warehouse on the end of it were
,arried away by the waves which were
ashed by the wind into that condition
Usually expressed as mountains high"
This instance of the work of Boreas will
onvey good idea of the severity of the
torn, because the wharf was very
trong one, and has only been completed
few months.

New Road.

Mr.. Gallaher, the chief engineer
on the "Marsden'' railroad, was in
town on Monday and gavethis Office
a very pleasant call.
He tells us that the surveyors have
reached Bruceton and are. pressing
on to the Pennsylvania road. The
rights of way and leases are being
secured satisfactorily and he expects
to have the road graded to Bruceton
by the time cold weather strikes us.
Negotiations are pending between
a large corporation in Philadelphia
and the officials of the road for the
erection of three hundred coke
ovens, which they want to build
just as soon as the road is completed
to Bruceton; besides these, the
railroad company expect to con-
struct a large number of ovens and
also sink a shaft in order to reach
the lower strata of coal, which they
will ship to the eastern market.
We hope the Philadelphia gentle
men will be able to secure the land
they want, and go to work at once.
Preston county is bound to boom!

the oil in the reservoir in some way
caught fire. In order to prevent

ried the stove to the door and threw
itinto the yard and then returned to
the kitchen. In carrying the stove
to the door, the lady had her left

was put out before assistance reach
