PROCTOR'S
SUCCESSOR.
A Change in the Cabinet Antici-
pated Shortly.
The Chances In Favor Of Pacific Coast
Man Being Selected Should the Present
Secretary Of War Enter the Senate
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON, April %. = The forthcoming
resignation OF Secretary Proctor, for 1t is re-
garded as certain that he will succeed Edmunds
In the Senate, will give tile Republican politicians
OF the extreme West and Northwest an oppor
tunity they have apparently been anxious to &C.
cure, an opportunity to press their claim for
direct representation in the Cabinet They say
that New England ought 10 be more than salts
fed with the State Department and should not
demand two seats at The Presidential table, es-
pecIally when the great Northwest has TO stand
outside and gets its political prominence through
various and sometimes unsatisfactory channels.
Among the many men now being discussed
is ex-senator Hill OF Colorado. Senator Mander-
son OF Nebraska has been suggested as avail
able, but II is almost certain that lie would not
sever bis Senatorial connection for Cabinet
poslti on. The Nebraskan Is thought to be one
OF the most thoroughly qualified OF the many
possibilities. He was a soldier is a member of
the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, and
lakes a deep interest In Amy matters generally.
Ex-senator Pierce's name comes up frequently.
He, too was soldier, and has qualifications
which would fit him for the place which Secre-
taTy Proctor now fills so thoroughly.
The Star says tonight: The defeat OF Estee
in the California Senatorial fight has resulted in
bringing that gentleman 10 The front TO occupy
Secretary Proctor's moccasns, and should the
President look elsewhere than in the East for a
new Secret airy of War Estees chances not to
be sneeZed at, Dem0ci attic raCOnteurs TO tile con-
traIy, Notwithstanding.
A report is abroad, 10 which credenee is given
by people familiar with Texas affairs, that Sena-
Tor Reagan Will be offered the appointment as
Chairman OF the State Railroad Commission OF
Texas. and that he viii probably retire from the
Senate 10 accept the new office. The salary is
$4,000 year and the tern five years. The
chances aie that If Ire served out hts term I'm the
Senate he would not be reelected, and for that
reason he Will not be as reluctant TO retire at this
time as he would be otherwise. II the report
proves true new Senator will have TO be APP
polluted by the Cove nor, as lie Legislature does
not meet again before 1892. II the election were
by the Legislature, Mills would almost certainly
be chosen 10 I'LL the unexplred term as well as to
fill the new Tenn. With the appointment IN the
hands Of the Governor, 1t will probably lie be-
tween Mills and a. W. Terrill, one of the brilliant
orators of Texas, with the chances still ln favor
of Mills.

Pacific on Company, by far the most important
undertaking Of the Kind IN California. These
are doubtless but the precursors of busy multi
tudes. Across the tidal canal a hne steel bridge
will be thrown at Park street. The contract for
this has been let.
ADVANTAGES WORTH NOTING.
Owing to It's almost insular position and the
regular grade Of her surface, Alameda is pos
sessed of very unique and perfect system Of
sewerage. Central avenue extends the length Of
the city, and follows the elevation from which
water flows north and south. This avenue has
an altitude OF thirty feet above the level of the
sea, which gives Thirty feet fan for drainage on
each side in n distance OF about half mile
There Is an intercepting pipe sewer on each side
OF the city. which is flushed by the tide twice
every twenty-fOur hours. Forty miles OF sewers
in the streets and avenues Of the city discharge
into these mtercepting sewers, and automat-
icaliy flushed daily. This is one of the complet-
EST possible OF all systems OF sewers.
LIGHT AND WATER.
The city is well lighted by gas and electricity.
There are eighly-hYe electric lights mounted on
towers or masts, aggregating 100000 candle
power, all Of which are owned and operated BY
The city. Pure water In abundant supply Is OBJ
tanned from artesian wells being rumped directly
Into the water-mainS. These wells are located
some distance southeast of the city, near the bay
where large tract OF land is devoted TO that pur
pose.

incnnsIderable part OF her male population goes
TO San Francisco or 10 Oakland every day to
their business occupations: II is distinguish
ing mark also that so large part OF the homes
that make up the delightful city are OF the better
sort. The tendency is altogether upward too, the
newer houses nov building being chic fly OF the
finer kind. 4 good indication Is the fact that in
many Of the tracts lately placed on sale lImita-
tlOn is put on the minimum cost of houses In
some cases this Is as high as S5000 and II is
often also stipulated that not less than a GER
tain frontage shall be included in the lot.
Seventy-fve feet IS the limit In one case Ger
tain portions of the city are sngulaTly attrac-
tive on account OF The fine grounds aud high
character of the residences. Evidences Of cul-
tuTe and refinement are apparent on every side.
During the past year two some ornate depot
or waitlng-rOOm buildings have been erected,
almost entirely at private expense, be 10 said.

avenue, FLY named, tie ground slOping easily

studded with groves OF live oaks, white oak,
pines and other indigenous trees. To large
extent these have given away TO the demands OF
home and city lite, yet the principle of every one
seems 10 have been, wherever possible, TO pre-
serve these trees. As a consequence Alameda IS
singularly blessed IN this regard, and seems
truly to repr oduce the old Roman idea Of rus in
urbe for foliage and shruhbery greet one at every
turn. Flowers are asO IN prOfuSe abundance,
the climbing roses oiteni lines creeping up aud

In BEAUTIFUL
ALAMEDA.
A City Whose Attractions and
Advantages Are Many.
Gardens and Groves-Broad and Smooth Ave-
nues-Bright Skies and Balmy Airs.
San Francisco's Banner Suburb.

The city OF Alameda possesses many advan-
cages as a place OF residence, so many in fact
that In the eyes at least of lis friends, 1t enjoys
pTe-emlnence over its sister suburban cities.
Certainly the progress and prosperity of Ala
media has made such rapid advance Of late years
that it has become city OF beauty and attrac.
tIOn indeed, with its broad, level streets, the
fine outlook in every direction and its groves
and gardens, amid which nestle the cosy homes
Of happy people.
The Eneinal (as it was called in Spanish days
Of Alameda is an island-like peninsula some
four miles in length by a mile in width,
stretching out from the mainland Of
the Contra Costa shore like the finger
from palm. Its surface is almost
level, rising by a gentle incline from tide on

Of Alameda and Oakland, for It belongs equally
10 each. Behind that Is tile city OF Oakland,
while further range OF eye is arrested by the
romantic contour OF the Contra Costa Mountains.
As If to give ZeSt and enjoyment 10 these views,
there ls everywhere present throughout the town
a succession Of the most charming and attractive
nGOks and bits Of woodland. lawn and garden.

in the Dardanelles, Of a steamship belonging 10
the Russian volunteer feet. which vessel was

POPULAR BATHING.
Alameda has an unusually fine beach uDOn the
southern shore, consisting OF long, even slope
of sand. TIE sun strikes this beach the whole
day long, warns the water to a pleasant heat,
and Affords the best conditions for a bath In the
saline wateIs. This circumstance has been taken
advantage of, and many fine bathing establish
menls have been erected. Thousands Of people
go over from The city 10 take advantage OF these
baths during The summer months.
