The CoIumbus Day Tragedy


EDITORS HERALD There is disposi-
ton in certain quarters to place the
blame of the deplorable result of the
Columbus day fireworks on Mr.. Wilson.
If Mr.. Wilson had received the protec-
tion he should have had, no accident
would have happened The committee
of arrangements seemed to have forgot
ten that humanity, particularly Los An
geles humanity, unrestrained, is nothing
but lawless, bowling mod, even with
out the instinct of self preservation, as
witnessed by men who courted danger
by deliberately crowding right over the
mortars, knowing well their deadly ex-
plosive nature.
The beauty and effectiveness of the
parade was destroyed by not having the
right of way, and its line of march bro
ken by lot of street cars, whose sever
al conductors were banging the danger
bell as if their lives and sacred honor
depended on their getting there on
time. The band members we're obliged
to keep one eye on their music, and the
other on the cars, to keep from being
run down. The chief of police with his
cohorts etrutted at the head of the pro.
CCsslOu, paying uO dbGoublOu GU Iuo tdli
thereof, whether it followed after, or
took the back track to Anabeim to es-
cape destruction.
And the exercises at the pavilion
Ye gods His honor the mayor grated,
the shining lights of the Italians and
Spanish aired their eloauence, and the
charming singers warbled to the most
outrageous din, rivaling the racket at
the confusion of tongues. A lot of
hoodlum men, women and children
sailed in and out, with no one nigh to
hinder. In the most primitive village
in the country, where large assemblages
are held in the open air, the exercises
are listened to quietly and respectfully,
and woe to the luckless individual who
conspires to create disturbance. But
Los Angeles people are allowed to 60 it
at their own sweet will, which is any
thing but commendable.
The conception and arrangement of
the Columbia day exercises were excel
lent and praisewoit thy, but their execu-
tion was lamentably faulty and dis
astrous. Place the blame where it be-
longs. @. B. HOLMES.

Morning Session .

At 10 20 Vice.Chairman Brown called
the convention to order.
j. Marion Brooks opened the ball by
offering the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense OF this
convention that in the primary election
for delegates to the Democratic municipal
conventions for the city of Los Angeles,
to be hereafter held, said delegates shall
be selected by precincts, and not by
wards, and this convention does in
struct the Democratic city central COM
mittee, to be by this convention selected,
to call said primary election in accord
ance with this resolution.
RULED OUT OF ORDER.
Henry Wilson moved to table the
resolution. Tom McCaffery seconded
the motion.
G. A. Bell moved to amend that the
next city primaries be held under the
Porter law.
The point of order was made that Mr..
Brooks resolution was out of order, as
the convention was in the midst of a
ballot, and the point was sustained.

M. G. Norton moved that the nomina-

Joseph Mesmer, on behalf of Mr.. Frick
and the First ward delegation, seconded
the motion and it prevailed.
Mr.. Watson came forward and
thanked the convention for the honor
conferred upon him, and pledged him
self that if elected he would faithfully
perform the duties of the Office.
MR.. BROOKS TAKES HEAT.
J. Marion Brooks then introduced the
resolution that the chairman had pre-
viously ruled out Of order. This caused
confusion and noise.
But Mr.. Brooks held the floor and pro-
ceeded to explain bis resolution. He
thought that it was fair and right that 1t
should be adopted.
Judge A. M. Stephens took the floor
and made ringing speech in favor OF
the reso ution. He said that If it was
adopted it would put check on the
Capitalization of political power. 1t
would also give the people an opportu-
nifty to be heard. He was decidedly in
favor of precinct representation.
@. A. Bell moved that the resolution
be amended 80 that the next city pri-
maries be held by precincts under the
Major W. r. Burke also spoke in ia
vor OF the adoption Of the resolution.
The question came first on the amend

Brooks was then adopted.

THE Conventions LABORS OVER
Democratic Municipal Love
Feast at an End. y
Some Worthy and Competent Men
Named for Office.
The Ninth Ward Delegates Experience
Temporary Dificulty in Select
Ing a Councilman-Con-
vention Notes.

The Democratic convention virtually
concluded its labors yesterday. The en-
tire city ticket is now nominated, with
the exception of member of the city
council and member OF the board OF
education in the Ninth ward. In this
Ninth there is deadlock over the
aldermanic nomination. That much
mooted question will be settled today,
and then the ticket will be complete.
The nominations made yesterday were
excellent. Clarence A. Miller was
named for city attorney. He ranks as
one of the ablest young barristers in
Southern California. d. A. Watson was
the choice of the convention for street
SUPERINTENDENT. His nomination is
universally regarded as strong one.
John Bryson was named for city
treasurer. Mr. Bryson is known in this
community, and it is unnecessary to
state that his election is a certainty.
That honest, upright, hard-working
man of the people, John Brink, was
nominated for tax collector. A. Orfila
was the choice of the delegates for city
clerk. Mr.. Orfila will bring to the
Office, il he is elected, ability, intelli-
gence and a wide knowledge of the
affairs Of the city.
The ward nominations were made
without unnecessary strife being engen-
dered. Mr.. Nickel was renominated in
the First and Mr.. Innes in the Second.
In the Third ward William Wilson was
honored; in the Fourth, John Chanslor
in the Fifth, Fred HArkness; in the
Sixth, George Pessel; in the Seventh
Thomas Weiss; in the Eighth, John T.
Gafey. In the Ninth ward there is
deadlock.
Taken as whole the convention has
done good work. Great interest was
manifested in its proceedings, and at all
times Turnvein hall has been crowded
with spectators. The delegates, or at
least some of them, became excited and
unruly on occasions, but they we're soon
,uuieted down by the active use of the
gavel on the part of the chairman.
The convention will meet again today
merely as matter of form to hear the
report OF the nominations made in the
Ninth ward, and then it will adjourn
without day. Below is a detailed re-
port of what was done yesterday.

EN.R0UTE TO 0PHIR FARM.
The President and Whiiesw Reid to Meet To-
Dey-0vasion at Norwood.

NEW YORK, Aug. S0-Whitelaw Reid was
asked tonight what arrangements had
been made by him for the Presidents enter
tainment at Ophir Farm tomorrow. Mr..
Reid said that the President had advised
him of his intention TO como to OphIr Farm
only two or three days ago. Mr.. Reid had
then waited TO ascertain with certainty
how long the President expected to remain.
On Monday ne found that the President
intended to stay but one day. Under these
circumstances it had been thought neces-
sary to omit all thought of rendering a
formal reception to him. No invitations.
therefore, have been extended for any par
ticular form of entertainment. Mr.. Reid
thought il altogether probable that . num-
ber Of gentlemen would call during the
day. and added that those of his or the
President's friends who desire to pay their
respects to the President could be assured
of q hospitable welcome.
The President, en- route to New York
from Loon lake. passed through Norwood,
N. Y, at o quarter past 3 O'Clock tonight,
and the citizens turned ont en-, masse to
greet him, hundreds assem- bling in less
than an hours notice. As the Presdents
train pulled into tine station 1t was greeted
with display of fireworks. music by the
Norwood band and shouts of welcome.
The President appeared on the platform of
one of tho cars and in response 10 the ova-
tiou, ex pressed surprise at the marked
demonstration IN his honor. thanked the
people for their hearty welcome, and
extended remarks The crowd excused
him with cheer. but insisted on his
shaking hands. The train pulled out amid
the hearty cheers Of tho crowd.

Saturday. The child was admitted to the
London Hospital on Sunday, suffering with
symptoms of AaIatic cholera. She died to-

the event of complications ensuing be-
tween the United States and the Euro
pean steamship companies, by reason OF
the refusal of these lines to do business
with American ports, England, Germany
and other countries interested may Nom-
bine in the enactment OF laws putting
prohibitive tax on American vessels en-
gagged in the carrying business with their
ports. In that event the question is al
most certain to pass into diplomatic
sphere, and become a subject for interna-
tional arbitration. England will in all
probability be ready to enter into a COM
bination with the other powers, for the
reason that Canada will derive the inn
menSe profit from the boycott OF Ameri-
can ports, should that prove to be the
ultimate policy of the steamship compa-
nies, and because any interference with
her carrying trade invariably touches
tender spot, not to speak Of the fact that
any serious disagreement between conti-
mental. Europe and the United States.
relating to the commerce OF the high
seas, always rebounds to her pecuniary
profit.
The Chandler bill has many adherents
in both branches of congress, and it ia
not assuming too much responsibility to
predict that it will pass, if not in it's pres
ent entirety, at least in modified form.
1t is not in any sense partisan measure.
Fully as many democrats as republicans
have openly committed themselves to
this or some measure like it that will
check the evils Of immigration, and, if
possible, suspend immigration entirely,
That the steamship companies are appre-
hensive for their business is natural, aud
it is comparatively easy to trace, even at
so early date, what they will do to off
set the effects of such legislation, should
it come to pass. They will, as detailed
above, play Halifax against American
ports and await the result, in the hope of
creating an international crisis by which
they may profit.

The appropriation committee has been
at work on the District Of Columbia and
forti6cation appropriation bills for some
time, and expects to report the latter
bill in time to be taken up as soon as the
army bill is passed.
The District Of Columbia bill has
caused considerable trouble to the sub
committee in charge Of it. A host Of
local government officials have been ex-
smined, and on Monday the sub-commit-
tee will begin the annual preparation Of
the hill. 1t is believed that the bill will
be reported to the house the latter part
of this week.
Estimates for Deficiencies have been re-
ceived and they will be embodied in an
urgency deficiency bill, to be reported to
the house and taken up almost imme-
diately for action, any other bills under
discussion to temporarily give way.
1t is the purpose of the managers Of
the house to get all these bills over to
the senate before the holiday recess. The
accomplishment of this purpose largely
depends on the temper of the house,
which, If 10 the mood, can protract con-
siderstion of the bills over several weeks.

Davis, of Kansas, from the committee

Connecticut and Ohio, and placed on

Numerous petitions and remonstrRnces

CONGRESS
Not Much Concerned About Anything
Except Appropriations.

NVb MuUu OUuCoGu0u AUOuU 1AuJ UnAus,
Except Appropriations.
WASHINGTON, December lin both
houses the work is progressing in man
ner that indicates lack Of real earnest
ness. The prominent features of this
weeks proceedings are likely to be the
anti-option bill in the senate and an sp-
preparation bill in the house. The anti
option bill is the unfinished business on
the senate calendar, and is expected to
be laid before that body tomorrow unless
an early adjournment prevents it.
In the morning hour Senator Mitchell
will discuss his joint resolution propos-
ing an amendment to the constitution
providing for the election Of senators by
the votes Of the qualified electors Of the
states This joint resolution is indorsed
by the committee on privileges and cleo
tions, and 10 undoubtedly strong in the
senate, but because Of it's great impor-
tsnce it is hardly to be assumed that it
can be passed during the scanty oppor-
tunity offered by the morning hour.
Once the snti-option bill is laid before
the senate it will be open to discussion
again, and positive action on the matter
is expected this week. From present
indications the daily sessions will be
short, and On adjournment will be taken
from Thursday to the following Monday.
II is quite probable that in the house
next week great deal of information
and opinions based on information will
beSsubmitted relative to the condition
Of the treasury.
1t is the expectation Of the leaders
that with the exception of Monday, when
bills concerning the District Of Columbia
will have right Of way, practically the
whole time Of the house during the week
will be devoted to consideration of the
regular appropriation bills. The debate
will begin on the army appropriation bill
which the military committee will report
on Monday, and which Chairman Outh-
waite at present intends to call up on
Tuesday.
1t is likely that the debate will take
much wider range than this bill, and
will embrace the state Of the revenues,
Of existing appropriations and, if it is
possible, Of the policy Of the democratic
party. The army bill in its aggregate
shows reduction from the total amount
carried by the bill for the current fiscal
year, but there have been several in
creases made in the appropriations under
the head of department of Ordnance"
The military committee would not be
surprised if an attack was made IN some
Of these items by Mr.. Holman and other
rigid econ omists. 1t is prepared for any
criticisms which may be made by adopt
ing in its report the statements made by
General Flagler showing the real and
urgent necessity for additional sppro-

RETALIATION.
The Steamship Companies Uniting Against
the Chandler Bill.


the Chandler Bill.
WASHINGTON, ID. G., December H.
The representative OF the Globe Democrat
is in q position to give forecast Of what
the united steamship companies may do
in the event that congress should pass an
act suspendiDg immigration for one year
as proposed by the Chandler bill, recently
introduced. The steamship companies
look upon such legislation as foreshadow-
ing permanent act, excluding immi-
grafton for an indefinite period. They
say that the inducements held out by
Senator Chandler in an interview, that
they could find their compensation in
carrying visitors to the exposition during
the year that immigration is suspended,
are not practical. They see in the Chan
dler bill direct menace, and must cast
about for something else to employ their
ships, which represent an enormous cap
ital. The question is, what course will
they takeP
1t is very probable that as soon as the
Chandler bill comes regularly before
congress, and its passsVe becomes
assured, a meeting will take place be-
tween all the steamship companies car
rying freight and passengers between
European and American ports. This
meeting will include representatives Of
English, Germ an, French, Italian, Bel
gium, Dutch and other lines. A resolu-
tion will be submitted, deciding on the
part of all lines interested to close
American ports like New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore, to European
traffic, and to divert their carrying busi-
ness to Halifax. This resolution will
probably be carried, and the combined
lines will at once enter upon q course Of
retaliation upon American commerce.
The lines will refuse to carry exposition
visitors except by way OF Halifax, and in
the same way will treat all freight in
tended for American ports.
II this policy Is followed, as there is
good ground for assuming, one conse-
quence will be to stimulate American
shipping. 1t will at once necsssitste the
building Of large merchant feet to take
care of the business now carried in
European bottoms. The only damage
likely to ensue ls the losses sustained by
American merchants, exporters and i'm
porters from the delay in creating a new
merchant marine, and the extra expense
involved in shipping via Halifax.
Another problem involved is, how far
retsliAtory measures of this sort can be
carried without making an international
question Of them. The fact is pointed
out that already an act ia proposed in
Germany to prohibit the operation of
foreign steamship agents in the empire,
the evident intention being the protec-
ton Of the German carrying trade. In
