The president is a close observer of
congressional Legislation, and he holds
constant consultations with the repub-
licans of both house and senate. He
does not attempt to be dictatorial and
yet he does not hesitate to tell the
congressman when he thinks thing is
wrong, and he generally offers, in the
way of suggestion, something to
take the place of the Objectionable
measure. The result of this is to put
Mr.. Harrison in closer relations with
his party in congress than any recent
president has been, and if kept up,
and there is net the slightest reason
to suppose that it will not be, there
will be no use for presidential vetoes
during this administration.

be elected directly by the people, and
given notice that he will shortly ad-

The idea, while not new one, would

PUGILIST SOTO.
On Trial for Shooting in Passenger
Car


Joe Soto, the light weight pugilist, was
on trial yesterday in Judge Cheney's
court, on a charge of assault with a
deadly weapon, in having, on the 3rd OF
last July, at the residence of Mrs. Alb
bott, on the Mission road, fred a revol-
yer into car of a Southern Pacific
train and wounding Mrs. Sussovich, Of
Pomona.
Mrs. Sussovich testified as to receiving
the wound, and her husband said that
he saw Soto, with a woman's hat on,
fire his pistol at the car.
Julia Abbott, a daughter of Mrs.
Abbott, at whose house the shooting
occurred, pretty little girl of remark
able self-possession, testified that on the
day mentioned Soto had on her hat as
the train passed. Some boys had hid
his hat. When the train passed he was
standing in the doorway of the house.
There was no tree in front of the door.
Soto's attorney tried to confuse the girl,
but she was too clever for him. and
made good impression on the jury.
Soto then took the stand and told his
story, which was in effect that two
young men had been trying to get his
pistol, and as the train passed he got
into scuffle with one OF them and the
revolver was discharged. The ball
struck picket of the fence. He did
not intend to fire at the train.
The arguments were concluded last
evening, and the jury will be charged by
the Judge this morning.

FELL TWENTY-FIVE FEET.
An Electric Road Workman Badly
Shaken Up.

Yesterday afternoon L. Spears, an
employee of the new electric railway
company, while at work upon the over
head wires at Union avenue and West
Pico street, met with serious accident.
In order to enable him to reach the top
of the poles ON which the wires were
being strung, framework had been
erected over portable engine, drawn
by team of horses, and on this frail
structure Spears was riding when the
machine struck cross-wire. Seeing
his danger, Spears called upon the horses
to stop, but the animals refused to obey,
and the result was that Spears was
hurled to the ground, distance of near
ly twenty feet. The police were notified
and the patrol wagon was dispatched to
the scene, and at his request the injured
man, who fortunately escaped with a
severe shaking, was conveyed to his
home on Santa Fe avenue.

THE LAWSON BROTHERS.
Their Examination Postponed Until
the Twenty-Second,

The Lawson brothers, A. B. and
Charles, appeared before Justice p f.
King yesterday morning for arraign-
ment upon the charge of assaulting
Captain 1. N. Moody on Monday night
last, with intent to commit murder.
The defendants made an effort to have
their case set down for preliminary
examination at an early date hnt the
complainant being in no condition to
appear in court, it was decided to defer
further action in the matter until the
22nd inst, by which time it was hoped
that Captain Moody would have recov-
cred sufficiently to stand the strain
necessitated by his being put upon the
witness stand.
The captain is still an inmate of the
receiving hospital, where he receives a
number of his friends daily, and he is
progressing very favorably. thanks to
his strong constitution and the treat
ment he has received at the hands of the
attending physicians.

In the doings at San Francisco on Ad-

nominee for governor, made speech.
Col. Markham, who is $50 lonely'' in
the bay city in his fruitfess search of
voters, did not. A HERALD reporter,
who thought that big crowd would have
been a good place for the Republican
candidate to have got acquainted with
the people, set out yesterday to
find out why this golden oppor-
tunity had been lost to the
gentleman from prohibition Pasadena
He searched in vain,for an explanation
until he found straightout Republican
politician who is said never to have
scratched party ticket up to this time.
He said:
"Why, it is all simple enough. Mark
ham went to San Francisco on purpose
to learn to swim. He never learned
when he was a boy and now he finds
that he must acquire this art.
Your Pond is S, big and deep,
and the chances of crossing it
are so small that he feels it incumbent
on him to become an expert swimmer.
am afraid he has not time to acquire
the necessary skill.
''Now there is another phase of this
matter that l think important Colonel
Otis was the man who discovered Mark
ham. Now it devolves on him not to let
his man get drowned. So it will be Otis
duty to hold Markham's chin above
water in the early days of November.
They say Colonel Otis is poor swimmer,
but fine foater, so he may keep Mark
hams head up until relief reaches the
pair"
