A n Alleged Gigantic scheme EnRin-
aered by o. r. HuMtlmgtOM.

CHICAGO. October 16.-A morning pa
per printed story to the effect that G.
P. Huntington has effected gigantic
railroad trust combination. The story is
in effect that the Southern Pacific mag
nate has succeeded in bringing under
one management the Wabash, Chicago.
Milwaukee and st. Paul, Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe. Denver and Rio
Grande, Northwestern, Missouri Pacific
and Southern Pacific roads, the whole
comprising mileage Of over 1000 miles.
1t was in pursuance Of this plan. it is
alleged, that j. @. Stubs was transferred
from the Southern Pacific to the Mil
waukee and st. Paul road, where he will
practically be the head of the gigantic
scheme.
P. d. Armour, one of the directors OF
the Milwaukee and st. Paul, says he has
heard nothing of any such scheme, and
does not believe there is anything in it..
MILWAUKEE,, October 16.-President
Miller, of the Chicago, Milwaukee and

New YORK, October 16-The dispatch
from Chicago reporting the rumored con-
solidation of the Gould and Huntington
roads in the West and Southwest created
great deal of comment, and although
no confirmation of any deal can be had,
it is generally thought that some sch eme
| is on foot. At the Southern Pacific off ca
the officials stated that they knew moth

ment is made of the work rendered by
the Secret Service for other branches OF
the Government, and the vast amount of
money saved thereby with small out
lay.
A statement just prepared by the Mex.
lean Foreign Office, showing the value OF
the commerce of that country with the
United States during the past year
has been sent to the State Department by
Minister Ryan. Tn imports represent a
total value of SIS, 1884, 1913, Of which ST.
73l, 1886 was free of duty. OF dutiaole
goods the principal receipts were cot
tons, provisions, drugs and chemicals,
iron and steel. The exports to the
United States aggregated $31, 050 ,626, as
follows: Merchandise, $I3 ,144 $40; prec.
cious metals, $17, 915, 116. The apparent
balance of trade in favor of Mexico il
$1l, 794 ,952, but the difference in cur.
rency reduces the balance to $2,2O9, 067

THE difficulties of selecting a site for
the Insane Asylum in San Bernardino
are evidently multiplying. The Commits
sion entrusted with the task yesterday bal
loted on the matter and selected Cooley,
four miles south of San Bernardino.
Governor Waterman failed to approve Of
this site. They next selected Banning,
and the Governor again indicated his
disapproval. 1t lie just possible that the
Commission have not yet got near
enough to the Arrowhead, which adjoins
his own ranch, to suit the fastidious taste
OF our accomplished Executive.

THB Sewer Commission yesterday, &C.
companied by Mr.. Shafer, the Chairman
OF the Sewer Committee of the Council,
visited the Vernon district to ascer-
tain reliably the facts accompanying
the discharge of the city sewage at that
point as a fertilizer. On the ground
they happened to encounter Mr.. ]. 8.
Slauson, the banker. This gentleman
stated that he was there renting land for
$22 an acre yearly which he would be
unable to rent for 80 an acre if the sew
age fertilizer had not made the land so
valuable. An impartial inquiry in the
neighborhood showed that the people
we're glad to receive the sewage, that
they were not sensibly annoyed by its
presence, and that even deodorization
was not an absolute essential to their
comfort. At times, indeed, there was
some inconvenience from offensive odors,
but nothing in comp orison with the ben
efits derived. The health of the Vernon
district had been exceptionally good.
For long time past there had been but
two cases of diphtheria, and those had
been distinctly referable to exposure at
Santa Monica. All this testimony ia in
line with that received from the neigh
borhood Of London and Paris, where
sewage discharges, compared to which
ours are but drop in the bucket, have
been utilized in suburban farming and
gardening operations. There is nc
reason why we should not have perfect
sewer system, nor why we should not
utilize every atom of our invaluable
sewer discharge on the porous lands
aligning the Los Angeles river, without
the necessity of an outfall sewer for
years to come.

THE PLOT DEEPENS.
another Arrest in the CrOnin
Case.
SEVERAL NEW SENSATIONS.
Alexander Sullivan Again Under
Police Surveillance-0ther
Matters.

Associated PressTDispatches to the HERALD.
CHICAGO, October 16.-Henry Stolten.
berg, stenographer in the law office of
Windes & Sullivan, the firm of which
Alexander Sullivan is member, was
summoned to the States Attorneys Office
this morning. Stoltenberg did not re-
appear for about two hours. To ques--
tons subsequently as to whether the
stenographer had been arrested or was
practically in custody, the States Attor-
ney returned evasive answers. 1t is
officially stated that Kavanaugh, one of
the men charged with attempted jury
fixing, had gone today to the Offices Of
Windes & Sullivan. What, if any, con-
nection this had with Stoltenberg,
States Attorney Longenecker declined to
explain. Mr.. Longenecker would only
say that Stoltenbsrg "would not spend
the night at home"
Subsequently the s.enographer's
mother told reporter that she had re-
ceived message from her son through
third party, to the effect that he would
not be nome tonight. Many reports in
regard to Stoltenberg were afloat during
the evening. One was that woman
telegraph operator in one of the hotels
had testifed before the Grand Jury to-
day that Stoltenberg was the person VINO
handed in dispatch said to have been
sent to Winnipeg, directing the lawyers
| for suspect Burke to warn the latter
against communication with Officer Col
inns on the journey to Chicago. This
dispatch, it is claimed, was signed 81.
O." the same initials as those of John
Graham, A. Trude's clerk, who has
been charged with being implicated in
Attempts to fix the Cropin jury.
The story regarding Stoltenburg and
the dispatches could not be verified. The
telegraph operator referred to denied the
report fatty. Late tonight a detective
standing near the residence of Alexander
Sullivan told reporter that he had been
detailed there to watch the premises.
For what purpose the espionage is being
conducted the officer refused to say.
Other detectives were numerous in the
vicinity throughout the night.
The Daily Nea0s will say tomorrow
The prosecution believes that the secrets
of the Grand Jury room were being regu-
larry conveyed to Alexander Sullivan. 1t
was to investigate this matter that Stol-
teDberg was sent for.
Late tonight it is rumored that an
other arrest has been made, and 1t is
believed that the person is court official.

any country. There is no longer any
doubt of the contagiousness OF consump-
ton, or Of the fallacy that cure resides in
climate. The climate of many parts of
California will no doubt prolong the
life OF many consumptives, and, perhaps,
arrest tho disease in few, but until we
can afford to build sanitariums for the
isolation of this class of patients, or
erect hotels and devise pleasure resorts
for their exclusive use, our State is better
off without these immigrants. They
disseminate disease which practically
might be unknown under proper SAM
tary laws, increase our mortality returns
and lessen that high standard of health
to which the State is capable of attain
ing, from it's unsurpassed climate, it's
geological formation, and it's posi- bilities
of presenting q temperature suitable to
the climatic wants of any constitution
which the system may demand for the
better preservation of its perfect health
Nothing could be more absurd than
this rant. Nice, Mentone, Cannes, and
score of other resorts in Southern
Europe, have been for generations the
resort of people of weak lungs, and no
body has ever heard of the health OF the
residents of those cities being unfavor
ably affected by that circumstance
Precisely what method DR.. Tyrrell, who
lives in place which has bad climate
for California, is going to take to keeE
invalids out of Southern California
the only region they care to come
to, he has failed to inform the public
Perhaps he fsvors the shotgun method
We believe this is the gentleman VIII
tried to engineer q smallpox scar
directed at this end Of the State severa
years ago. As an official of an importan
California Institute he ought to be calle'
up and regulated or dismissed. Sue
rawlings from a person in his situatio
are calculated to do us injury abroad.

Cured in Bentilee colliery, at LongtoH,
county of Stafford, early this morning.

Latest advices from the scene state that

feared. The underground manager is
among the victims. The record of the

1t has often been remarked that the

in the ranks Of the cranks. In his report
for September this gentleman acquits
himself of the following extraordinary
farrago, under the head OF consumption:
We have noticed with some apprehen-
