In regard to the movement for the
protection of soldiers in our army from
temptations to drink, Secretary Of War
Proctor writes: 81 am glad to say that
l heartily sympathize with the efforts
in behalf of Temperance in the army
and navy and shall do every thing in
my power to aid the good work. l am
not prepared to admit that the soldiers
of our army are more Incorporate than
other classes of men. If o soldier has
drank too much his very uniform makes
it noticeable, and we may do them as a
class injustice. Certainly the more I
have seen of the soldiers of our army
the greater respect have for them. A.
a rule they are men of intelligence and
marked devotion to duty"

vel,s Movements.
There is nothing new in the railroad
situation. The Southern Pacific exhibits
several placards in its windows bearing
hatchets and knives to indicate that the
road is cutting rates. The general opin-
ion among railroad men appears to be
that there is no prospect of a general
war.
Next Monday the people of Pasadena
will celebrate The arrival of the Cross
road to that city. The affair will be in
charge of the Pasadena Board of Trade.
Yesterday morning at IL O'Clock Mr..
Marvel, the president of the Santa Fe,
arrived in this city with K. 81. Wade,
the general manager. Mr.. Marvel left
Chicago last Wednesday. There was a
story which became current by some un.
known means, to the effect that he was
present in Arizona at the time when the
washouts took place on the Atlantic and
Pacific road and that he assisted in
directing the reconstruction. The story
was imaginary in every particular.
The Marvel party came on specia,
train from Albuquerque to Raymond, at
which place they arrived Monday even
ing. With Mr.. Marvel are Marshal
Field, the famous drydoods merchant and
capitalist, of Chicago, and Mr.. A. A.
Spragus. of the firm of Sprague, Warner
& Co., Chicago. Mr.. Marvel and Mr..
Wade left for San Diego at l O'clock.
United States Railroad Commissioner
Hassard will arrive in this city today

said he would be willing to accommodate
Ray in that way if desirable, but Ray
replied: 81 think l know quicker

the company except Spslding knew any
thing about the article until after the

A SEQUENCE OF THE RATE WAR.
How the Excursion Business Is
Worked.

Worked.
When the railways engage in the
throat-cutting business. they try to ruin
their stockholders by carrying it to the
greatest extreme, and the road which
gets most of the business is the greatest
sufferer. Just now, with the notice Of
cut in rates to all points, comes an
official notice from the Wabash railroad
to the effect that on March 10th, Oath,
April 9TH and 21st it will run upholstered
sleeping cars between Kansas City and
all Eastern points for second class, or
tourists tickets. In other words, they
propose giving frst-class accommoda-
tions to Pacific Coast passengers who
leave here on the dates given. Mr.. A.
B. Dessery, agent of the Wabash route,
at "a North Spring street, said to a
HERALD reporter last night, that
his company intended running these
excursions, even if the ticket rates went
to 25 cents between Kansas City and
Chicago. When asked if it was not a
violation of the traffic agreements, he re-
piled that the lines had right to charge
second class rates for second-class sleep
ing car accommodations, and if his COM
pany saw proper to use frst-class cars,
they would do it. He closed the inter
view by saying: eff you doubt this,
send your friends to my Office at "a
North Spring street, and I will satisfy
them"

The commissioners who are assessing

the division of the county assets between
Orange and Los Angeles counties have
nearly completed their labors, and will
probably be able to make their report
about the end of next week. The data is
all at hand, and the work is now largely
summing up results. 1t is probable, as
