WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

The browning shame of the
republican administration
occurred, if my information
be correct and L have every
reason for believingthat tits,
Saturday afternoon, when j.
Gould accompanied by his
son George called at the
White House and delivered
his orders to Mr.. Harrison,
together with his ultimatum
as to what he would do if they
were not obeyed. From there
he went to the Post Office de-
partment and gave Johnnie
Wanamaker a much worse
shaking up than that given
him by Teddy" Roosevelt
some months ago. Mr.. Wana-
maker would have liked very
much to have kicked Gould
out of his private office, but
there were reasons, aside
from Gonld's "pull" with Mr..
Harrison, why he dared not
offend the little wizard"
of Wall street. who had in
his inside pocket some pa
pers with the Wanamaker
autograph thereon.
Gould told Mr.. Harrison
that unless his demands
were met he might as well
abandon all hope of Il vindi-
cation in the shape of a re-
nomination, and from the
smile Gould wore when he
clambered into his private
car, pnrOute for st. Louis.
Mr.. Harrison must have
promised him something.
What does Gould want? The
same thing he always wants,
his only deity-money. Ever
since June 1889, the Western
Union Telegraph Company
has been carrying the Gov
ernment's kilograms without
rendering a bill therefore be-
cause Mr.. Gould refused to
except the compensation set
for the work by Mr.. Wana.

to be paid for this work at
his own instead of Wanama.
ker's price. Want number
two, is to secure a liberal
slice of the postal subsidy
fund for his Pacific Mail line
which it seems, he had heard
was to be left out in the cold
in the grand divide. Want
number three, is the increase
OF the amounts paid to- all o1
his recently acquired Wes,
tern rail roads for carrying
the mails. Modest isn't he!
] shall watch carefully to see
how many Of these wantsare
supplied by Mr.. Harrison's
administration.

the Order-The Trotting Glasses Fill
Exceptionally Well.

The innovation started this year by
forming Southern California fair cir
cult is going to be big success. The
associations who joined in the move
ment are going to receive considerable
benefit, and the fairs to be held in
Southern California this year will
eclipse all previous efforts, and as a re-
suit the associations will be enabled to
offer more money every year. Entries
for the Ventura, Orange and San Diego
county fairs closed on August 10Th. Mr..
Beckers reports a splendid entry list
for Santa Ana. One of the trotting
events has eleven entries, while an
other has nine. This splendid showing
of the Orange county association is sure
to be duplicated by the other associa-
tions. The splendid programme offered
by the Los Angeles association is sure to
attract the best horses. Entries for this
big meeting close on September 2lst.
The following is complete list of the
entries for the Orange county fair:

The Santa Fe express, which is due to
arrive in this city at 8 p. M, ran into
two freight cars in the yard at the foot
of Second street last evening, and
smashed one of them into kindling wood.
The train was one hour late, and was
running at high rate of speed. The
engineer saw the obstruction on the
track too late to avoid collision, but he
had partially slackened the speed of his
train before the accident occurred.
No one was injured in the express,
though everybody aboard suffered
bad shaking up. On board the
train were number of newspaper men
returning from the convention of the
Southern California Editorial associa-
tion at San Diego, and the governor and
staff were also in one of the cars. j. P.
Goytino, editor of LIE Progress, was re-
moving some baggage from rack when
the shock occurred, and was slightly
bruised by being thrown to the floor.
Inquiry at the Southern California
freight offices last night failed to elicit
any information as to how the cars hap
pened to be left on the track in the way
of the passenger train, or who was to
blame for the accident.
Later.-It was learned after the above
was written that the accident was due
to criminal carelessness on the part Of
some employe of the Southern California
railroad. 1t seems hardly credible that
a switch should be left open in yard at
terminal point. yet there is no doubt
such was the case. The freight cars
were not on the main line, but were on
side-track, and the switch was left
closed, throwing the main line open
into the side track. The fact that one
of the best engineers in California, Mr..
Phillips, was at the lever, explains why
the accident was not more serious.
Scipio Craig, of the Redlands Citro-
graph, was very badly bruised and his
right leg is severely confused. Henry
FL. Smith, clerk of the
house OF representatives, was so
severely injured that he had to
be assisted out Of the car and placed in
a carriage. III. u. Osborne, editor of the
Express, was thrown down so violently
as to break the arm off of seat against
which he was hurled, and
was evidently quite badly bat
tered. AS far as could be learned
last night no more serious injuries were
received than above occurred, though
several passengers suffered greatly from
the nervous shock. The force of the
collision can be appreciated when the
fact is understood that one of the freight
cars was lifted off the track by the loco
motive and last night rested on top Of
the boiler.
The above facts were gathered from
passengers, the railway employees being
ton but that the accident was simply
due to the criminal stupidity or incom-
potency of some one, and cannot be we'll
excused. ~

tor the result was as follows:

The Black Hills republicans voted
IS . unit fer Moody. 1t is understood
they will vote together llenceforth
for whatever candidate is selected and
that their vote would go to Mr.. Lake
today. The remaining Independents
would gotn Harden If their votes
would elect him.
The standing committee on bribery
brought in u report containing the
statement Of different members, that
they had been approached and ten
dered money or valuable positions, If
they would vote for Moody for senator.
He Rorapaugh, assistant sergeant-at-
arms, Of the United Estates, seems to
have been the leader in Offering brides

Abill has been introduced in the
house by Mr.. Pratt, Of Hughes county,
to repeal the law passed by the last
legislature requiring commercial
agencies to deposit $4,000 with the
state treasurer before doing business
in the state. The business men Of the
state having bsen a year witout either
Dun's or Bradstreet's reports,are with
out ratings, and as all eastern credits
are based on these reports they are be-
ginning to see the advantages Of being
rated by responsible agencies.
