Los ANGELES has been graced for some
days past by the presence of large
number OF the most enterprising citizens
of st. Louis. These gentlemen have
been putting up their money very liber-
ally in great scheme of railway devel-
opment, known as the Terminal railway,
which is shrewdly suspected to be the
Pacific end of transcontinental rail-
way. OF late years st. Louis is develop
ing a splendid spirit of progress and
energy. Always the center of most
gracious hospitality and OF the best peo-
pie of the United States, it was some
times said OF this great metropolis Of the
northwest that it did not want to do all
the business of the country; or, to speak
plainly, that her people lacked enter
prise and "go." If this was the case
once it has not been so for years past.
St. Louis in the past decade has been
instrumental in developing Colorado
and other mining regions. Some of the
gentlemen who were banqueted at
the California club last night were
the promoters of the famous
Granite mountain mines that have
enriched st. Louis and given her
many of the superb blocks that rival
anything of the kind in the United
States. New blood has come to the
front, and it has already borne splendid
fruit. If the same class of men had
been in that city twenty years ago as are
now engaged in giving her an impetus
not surpassed by any other city in
America, St. Louis would now fill. the
place occupied by Chicago. When Will
liam H. Seward made his great speech
in st. Louis in the first Lincoln cam
paign, he said that Missouri was des-
tined to be the Empire State and ST..
Louis the Empire City of the United
States. That at the time seemed mani
fest destiny, and it was only prevented
from realization by the war. The HER
AID begs..to greet our distinguished visi-
tors with cordiality, and expresses the
hearty hope that their stay amongst us
may be pleasant in the extreme, and
that their liberal investments in the
line of developing Los Angeles and
Southern California may prove as profit
able as heart of man could deGire.

Robin Hood Reproduced to a Great
Audience,

Robin Hood Reproduced to a Great
Audience.
The Bostonians last night sang Robin
Hood for the second time this week to a
house packed in all it's departments with
an audience gay and brilliant as court
ball. The cast was the same as on Mon
day night, excepting that Miss Stone
took the part of Maid Marion, Mrs. Bart
lett Davis that of Allan-aDale, and Mr..
Hoff that of Robin. 1t was a great cast
and the many brilliant and musical
numbers Of this great American success
and all its ringing cboruses were given
with perfect effect. The opera abounds
in the most delightful music, ,and the COM
paDy interpret its meaning to the echo.
Mr.. HofFs voice is so clear and liquid,
that it is a rare enjoyment
to hear him sing. Miss Stone as the
Maid was artistic to the highest point OF
perfection, both in her singing and act
ing, and Miss Davis as Allan-a-Dale
made an impression even more favor
able than in the Suzette. One would
like to hear her rich and true contralto
more than either of the parts she has
sung this week affords an opportunity
for. She acts as well as she sings, and
her stage presence is so perfect that it
lends an indescribable charm to all she
does. The chorus did fine work, and
the orchestra, under the skillful man
agement of Mr.. Studley, was as effective
in its aid to the vocalization as on for
mer nights.
Owing to the great success Robin
Hood has made in Los Angeles, and the
great demand for seats, the manage

Jake Behrendt, at Greenwald's, had a
trial by jury in Judge Ovens court yes
terday. Behrendt was arrested for sell
ing lottery tickets. 1t took considerable
time to secure a jury, venire of over
fifty having been exhausted before a
jury was finally secured. 1t appears
that Johnson, the complaining witness,
went to Greenwald's to buya ticket. He
was told that if he left his address that
he would mail him ticket. provided he
left $1.05. This johnson did, and next
day received ticket by Wells-Fargo.
The jury were out one hour and brought
in verdict of guilty as charged.

CAPTAIN w. B. KENNEDY, OF the Tenth
u. S. cavalry, stationed at Fort Grant,
Arizona, has just paid an official visit to
this city, and started back for the head
quarters of his command yesterday.
Captain Kennedy is pioneer Cahior-
nian. He was amongst the argonauts
that dug and delved in the rich placers
of Calaveras county in 1880. When
the state raised six regiments in 1868,
Captain Kennedy organized company
for the First California cavalry. He was
for time stationed at Drum barracks
at Wilmington, and this is the first visit
he has paid Los Angeles since 1864,
when he started with mis- regiment for
Arizona. He could not realize that the

ment have decided to repeat Robin
Hood on Fridav evening next, instead
of Mignon. This will enable the many
of the music-loving public who were un-
able to secure seats, an opportunity of
enjoying this delightful work. The
cast will be the same as last night, ex-
cepting that Mr.. Karl will replace Mr..
Hoff as Robin.
Tonight the delightful Fatinitza will
be sung, with Jessie Bartlett Davis in
the title role.
The concert given at the Third Con-
gregational church last evening was an
unqualified success, the building being
crowded to the doors with most en-
thusiastic audience. The vocal solos by
w. E. Deity and Low j. Llewellyn were
finely rendered, as was also the selec-
tion by Miss Woodard, and the duets by
Miss Minnie E. Baker and Low. J..
Llewellyn. Tom Barnes, as usual, con-
vulsed the audience with his humorous
pieces, and was loudly recalled. and
Miss Cora Haddock was also warmly re-
ceived. The piano solos by Miss Will
hardt and Miss Annie Llewellyn were
greatly enjoyed, and little Oracle Binder
was lovely in her recitation. The cornet
solos by Mr.. Henry (. Knapp were a
special treat and were greatly enjoyed,
and the violin solo by Dave E. LEVEL
lyn, accompanied by Mrs. A. G. Sum-
mers, was also enthusiastically received.
The recitation by little Ethel Belcher,
of The Flower Girls Dream, with its ac-
compartment of song by white-robed
girls, was very touching and beautiful.
The last number was the Sunfower
chorus, march and tableaux, by the
children, who acquitted themselves to
perfection, both in their singing and by
their marching, which showed evidences
of careful training on the part OF those
who had this in charge. Their dresses
were very pretty, and the tableaux of
kneeling children was remarkably ef-
fectiye,

THE Express yesterday INDUCES in a
very lame defence of the action of the
board of supervisors in attempting to
make Mr.. Aaron Smith the beneficiary
of the sum OF 1882 at the expense of the
taxpayers of Los Angeles. Our contem-
porary thinks that because Pomona,
Riverside and other regions supported
lobby at Sacramento it was incumbent
upon the board of supervisors to squan-
der the public money. There is very
material difference between the two
cases. These lobbies were maintained
at the expense of individuals interested
in defeating or expediting certain legis-
lation. The money spent came out of
the pockets of those who had some OBJ
ject to serve or some axe to grind. There
was no attempt to saddle the expenses
of these emissaries either on Los An
geles or San Bernardino county. There
was no warrant of law for the action of
the supervisors, nor was there any
precedent for their course. We as

In addition to this the club proposes to

Our Trade with Brazil.

1t will, of course, be many months be-
fore the real effects of the reciprocity
treaty recsntly executed with the United
States of Brazil, which goes into effect
upon April LIST, become clearly apparent,
but already it is reported that merchants
of this country have entered upon con-
siderably increased transactions for fu-
ture delivery, and it is also rumored that
a new steamship line is to be established
between New York and Brazilian ports.
There is little doubt but that this treaty
will be OF immense benefit to both coun-
tries, and especially to this, where it will
give a new and decided impetus to man
ufacturing and agricultural interests.
On the other hand, the people OF Brazil
gain important advantages by the free
importation of their coffee and sugar.
From Brazil, we are now importing
about s6o00O,G00 of goods annually,
while our shipments in return amount
to but Sl1 100000. Europe sends thither
cotton goods to the value of S20,0O0,000,
and the United States but $500, 900 worth.
Here is a balance of trade against the
United States amounting to S49,0OO,OOO,
which, under the new conditions, will
adjust itself more equitably. AS an il
lustration of the manner in which COM
mcrce is quick to follow any opening
made for it, may be cited the reciprocal
trade in iron and coal which has sprung
up between the United States and Cuba.
Several years ago the Pennsylvania Steel
Company and Bethlehem Iron Company
acquired large iron mines in Cuba, from
which they began the Importation of ore
into the United States, the former COM
pany erecting large works near Balti-
more for its reduction. A whole fleet of
ships and steamers was, of course, en-
| ployed in its transport AT first these
gan to carry coal instead, and the trade,
thus inaugurated, rapidly grow to be one
of considerable Importance. Now it is
stated that American coal has driven all
others from the market in many ports of
the West Indies. In 1889 we imported
| from Cuba 225,525 tons of iron ore
valued at s537 ATS and exported 19S,6SS
tons OF coal valued at s5S1, ,o94. In 1880
the iron importations had increased to
237, ,322 tons, valued at s565,416, and the
exports of coal to 237, 40 tons, valued at
