WILL THE SANTA FR FIGHT3

The transcontinental railroads are on
the ragged edge of rate war. An at
tempt was made on Friday, in New
York, to take the initial steps in the
formation of new western traffic asso-
citation, but the matter had to be aban-
doned, and was postponed until the 10th
of November. An attempt is being made
by the promoters OF the new association
to introduce the opening wedge of the
plan proposed by Mr.. Jay Gould about a
year ago, which virtually amounted to a
national railroad trust. 1t involves the es-
tablishment of joint agencies in each city,
the pro-rating of all business, the doing
away with all expenses of competition,
such as advertising, the employment of
business solicitors, and the like.
The scheme is good enough one if it
were not for the insuperable difficulty
of satisfactorily adjusting the amount of
business to be credited to each road.
For example, the Santa Fe management
is not satisfied today with the amount
of power the company has in transcon-
tinental affairs. In case OF division of
business, that company would undoubt-
edly demand a much higher pro rata
than the other lines would consider it
entitled to, for it is an open secret that
the company contemplates more ag-
gressive policy than it has followed in

THE SUPREME JUSTICES.
Those Dignified Personages Arrive il

Those Dignified Personages Arrive in
the City.
The October term of the supreme
court begins in this city this morning,
and will be busy session. There is a
calendar OF 1873 cases to be disposed Of.
The justices arrived in the city yester-
day, and full bench will be present
this morning, when the session begins.
Chief Justice Beatty and Justices Ga
route, De Haven, Paterson, Mcfarland,
Sharpstein and Harrison are all here.
The last named justice has just arrived
from the east, where he was married,
and is accompanied by his bride. Dep
uty Clerks D. s. Culp and Percy V.
Long, of San Francisco, and Bailiff E.
Washburn arrived yesterday.
The first business of the court will be
the examination OF the class of appli-
cants for admission to practice, the
class this year numbering II.
The question of securing new quarters
for the supreme court will likely as
sume greater prominence while the jus
tices are here than ever before. They
all realize the necessity of securing a
more accessible and commodious court
room and apartments for the sessions in
Southern California, and some definite
propositions are to be submitted for
their consideration.

the past towards its rivals. With this
intention of conquest, it certainly would
decline to consider it's present business
a proper basis on which to enter pool.
1t is in this attitude Of the Santa Fe
that exists the hope that rate war will
soon be created. Persons versed in the
railroad situation know that the COM
pany, in number Of very influential
quarters, feels that on the coast here
its power and its possibilities are under
estimated by its rival, and there is more
or less eagerness on its part for con-
flict, for which it has been preparing.
1t has not heretofore been in condition
to fight, but now it's exchequer is well
filled, it occupies valuable strategic
points, and it has certain unconquerable
outposts and citadels. 1t is at leaet pos

AT THE SOLDIERS HOME.

Over Thousand Veterans Being Cared
There are now between 1000 and HOO
veterans sojourning at the National
military home, and affairs at that great
government institution seem to be pro-
crossing satisfactorily in every particu-
lar.
A representative of the HERALD yes
terdav visited the home for the purpose
of making brief tour of investigation.
He found all of the old defenders Of the
nations integrity enjoying themselves
ss best they could, and had the honor OF
dining with them in the large dining
hall, at the south end of the reserva-
ton.
The dining hall is under the charge
and supervision of Sergt. A. B. Golden,
and right we'll does he discharge the
duties of his important trust. 1t must
be understood that to feed 1000 men is
no easy task.
The food appears to be of the first
quality, we'll cooked and we'll served. A
regular bill of fare is prepared for break
fast, dinner and supper. 1t is varied
every day in the week. On Monday
the breakfast bill includes corned beef
hash, bread, butter and coffee; din
ner. roast pork, veal or beef, mashed
potatoes, bread, pies, tea; supper ;
fried sweetcake, bread, butter and tea.
During the week this bill is varied to
include corned beef, ham, pork and
beans, pickles, cabbage, stewed prunes,
bologna, cheese, Goldfish, fresh fish and
stewed fruits.
The cooking department is just back
of the dining room, and is always kept
neat and clean.
The commissary department is located
in the cellar, under the dining room.
To give an idea of the vast quantities
of food it takes to satisfy the hunger OF
1000 men, it is only necessary to state
that 220 loaves of bread are consumed
daily, all baked at the home, 80 pounds
of coffee at meal, eight sacks of pOta-
toes, and so on.
Maj. A. M. Thornton, the treasurer OF
the home, buys all the supplies re-
quired, and they are purchased OF Los
Angeles business firms. Major Thorn
ton stated yesterday that his instruc-
tions were to purchase only the very
best goods.
Since Major Thornton's advent as
treasurer Of the home, he has made q
number of improvements, which greatly
facilitate the work of caring for the
veterans.
Governor Charles TIeichel has been
for some days past suffering from Sc
we're cold, which has confined him to his
residence. He is now convalescent,
however, and will soon be about again.

In WAS left for San Francisco re.
porter, Mr.. Harry Bigelow, to do what
hundreds OF men have been trying to
accomplish for months-to come face to
face with the notorious train robbers.
Evans and Sontag. Reporters come
nearer nowadays to filing the role OF
the chivalrous knight errant than any
other class OF men. 1t is true they tilt
with windmills occasionally, and are like
the girl in Ta-ra-ra-Boom-de-ay, mot
too good, and not too bad," but they are
as rule devoted, brave and in their
work conscientious. Mr.. Bigelow has
shown all those qualities in this notable
piece of work, and has accomplished
what is the daily hope Of every confrere
of his-the recording of "a big SCOOP"
for his paper, by securing from the out
laws an interview, the result of couple
OF days visit in their fortressed camp.

Now that General Crespo has taken
possession of Caracas, the end OF the
Venezuelan revolution has in all prob
ability been reached. General Crespo
is patriot as we'll as great military
chief. At the head of the revolutionists
he has successfully fought the armies of
the usurping president and won several
hard fought battles. There is more
hope for the entire pacifcation OF Vene-
zuela now than there has been for sev-
eral months. The taking of Caracas
means that the last stronghold OF the
government forces is carried and that 1t
will be next to impossible for the scat
tered chiefs to bring together forces
enough to make head again.

DORSEYS STATEMENT.

He Declares His Innocence of Attempt
ing BIackmail and Promises Suit.
Ex-Police Officer Dorsey was, in a
contemporary yesterday, made the sub.
ject of an article in which it was repre-
sented that he had been attempting to
blackmail we'll known business man
of this city. Mr.. Dorsey claims that he
can prove his innocence of the charge,
and that the matter all originated be-
cause of spite, which was caused by an
official act of his some time ago.
Mr.. Dorsey's story is most sensational,
charging the business man referred to
with licentiousness and lecherousnees,
and other crimes equally serious. Mr..
Mr.. Dorsey, to clear his character,
asserts that he will at once bring some
suits which will cause the whole matter
to come to light.

WHAT a singular, far reaching thing
political "infuence" is? It overleaps
county boundaries as the young woman
once made famous in song performed on
the flying trapeze, with the greatest oi
ease" Apropos of nothing, the tele-
graph dispatches state that the Los
Angeles Furniture company was Satur-
day awarded the contract to supply the
furniture for the state insane asylum at
San Bernardino. The same company,
it will be remembered, equipped our
court house and the Whittier reform
school. 1t looks as if there was but one
furniture company, and that Governor
Markham was its prophet.

that the vessel was not properly ham

how difficult it is for even experienced,
able officers, like those in charge OF the
Charleston, to evade the dangers OF q
