COMPETING LINES.

The opinion has been expressed that It is
not of much use to establish steamship lines
70 bring goods to this port until we have
local lines tOdistribute goods 10 the interior.
1t would seem, however. 10 most people that
il would be a less difficult task to construct
local lines up and down the coast than TO
build another trauscOnJInental railroad.
Goods can be brought to this city By water
at less cost than by land, even If railroad
rates were as low as the cost of the service
would permit and local lines constructed in
connection with our rivers would not cost
more than the people Of the State can afford
20 invest in an enterprise to secure freight
rates that VIII enable the city to recover lost
territory There Is no possible way to pre-
vent q competing railroad from combining
with other reads under present conditions.
The cost of a transcOntinental railroad
would be so great that even if 4 majority Of
the stock were owned in this State the in
terest Of the owners in the road would be
greater than their interest in low freight
rates. A majority Of the stock Of the South
ern Pacific Company is and always has been
held on this Coast but The fact has not in
duced the managers TO establish rates as low
as the cost Of the service would permit.
Now it is extremely probable that if COM
rauy Of Pacific Coast capitalists should find
themselves with a railroad on their hands
costing from $40, 000,O0O to SJ0,OOQO00. they
would consider rather how TO Ike their
railroad pay than how to get goods to San
Francisco at the lowest possible cost and
how to distribute these goods over as much
territory as possible. The advantage Of
steamship lines in connection with local dis
trbuting lines is that the necessary outlay
is not 50 great as to make profit on them
primary consideration. The capitalists who
control these steamship and local di5tribut-
ing lines may still find a greater profit in
reyiying the business Of this city and State
thaE any possible railroad combination that
can be effected

SHE TALKED BACK.
Mrs. Foley Challenged President
Lueders' Yeracity.

The attendance at the hearing Of the
Pacific Endowment League wrangle is
growing beautifully less from day to day as
tile tedious examination drags its weary
length along. II takes the astute and more
OF less belligerent attorneys about a half a
day to introduce a disputed line Of evidence
and once the matter is settled there is
usually nothing in it bey Ond some unimpoT-
Iant and utterly uninterestiDg technical
point
Yesterday President Lueders was asked
whether he ever represented to Mrs. Mar
garet Foley that if she joined the associa-
ton she would not have to pay more than
two or three assessments month and that
if she paid more he would make it all right
with her
lie replied emphatically that he never
had. Mrs Foley was one OF the spectators.
President Lueders' denial was more than
she could bear, and sprngIng TO her feet ex-
citedly she exclaimed, beg your pardon,
sir, you did-yOu did-"
The Deputy Sheriff's gayel completely
drowned all other confusion occasiOned by
Mrs. F0ley's outbreak.
Sit down" yelled the guardian OF the
courts dignity.
The frightened woman dropped as though
a house had fallen her.
- ! our Honor" exclaimed Attorney Deu-
prey, holly, III that woman hasn't got
sense enough to keep her mouth shut she
ought to be put out, and we request that she
be put out"
The Judge replied that he did not want
more such talk from Mr.. DeupTey. The
woman was simply a little excited and
meant no wrong. She was cautioned not to
repeat the occurrence.

counties shall get so much more for their
product-silver bullion, of which the whole
State Yields about three millions worth a
year all told.
Some day, perhaps, the commercial ma
lions of the world will agree upon an hon
est scheme for increasing the metallic cur
rency OF the nations on fair basis, with
due regard to the current market value OF
the metals, and with careful safeguards for
the rights of debtors and creditors alike.
Such a measure as that would command the
assent Of all classes. But the Bland bill IS
simply an appeal to dishon est instincts to
embark in suicidal course in the hope of
defrauding some one. 1t ought and it prob
ably Will be kicked out Of Congress.

SPECIAL MISSIONS.
Worlds Fair EmisSarieS to For.
eign Countries.

Leigh S. Lynch OF CHICAGO, who has been
at the Occidental for the past few days, left
yesterday afternoon on the steamer China
for Japan.
Mr.. Lynch is special Worlds Fair Com
missioner to the Philippine Islands. Java.
Sumatra, BOrneO, the FIJI Islands, Friendly
Islands. Solomon Islands and other members
Of the Malay and POlynesiau groups. His
mission is TO secure exhibits and induce the
attendance of natives of these coutries at
the Columbian Exposition.
1t is proposed u make the South Sea ex
hibit one of the most Gu rious and attractive
on She grounds Of Jackson Park ext year
Five acres of space has been set apart for
this collection on the midway plaisance.
where will be erected Javanese. Maori,
Sumatra and other villages. These will be
as nearly as possible representative of the
life ana industries Of the natives of these
regions.
Mr.. Lynch will have entire charge of this
feature Of the exhibit, and he has been en-
dowed with ample powers, not only to
stimulate exhibitors, but also to make
native purchases at the expense Of the local
governing board of Chicago He is
familiar with the people, having visited
most Of the islands within the Jurisdiction
of his eOmmiSsOnerShp four or five times
during the past ten years. He expects to
return about the end of the year.
Mrs c. a. Bell of Chicago was another
passenger on the China. and is also special
commissioner Of the Columbian Exposition.
Her field is Japan, and she derives her au-
thOrity from Mrs. P0t:er-PaImer, President
of the WOmen's National Commission.
Mrs. Bells husband is the resident buyer
in japan for the big Chicago house Of Mar
shall, Field IL Co, and the lady has herself
lived in the MikadO's dominions. She will
supervise the exhibit of wOmen's work from
Japan, ana will exercise a censorship over
both the collection and the women who will
be in charge OF it at Chicago. Every Japan
csc industry and art In which women are
employed will be represented at the fair in

GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS.

The Democrats are beginning to doubt the
wisdom Of. a strictly economical policy.
That is a very good policy to advocate when
a party is in q minority, but is attended
with some drawbacks when a party is in a
position 10 make needed improvements ami
refuses to make them. SenatorVest, aleading
member Of thu Senate Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds, has recently said
that the time has come for the United
States TO own the buildings necessary to
carry on its own business. In pursuance
Of this policy he has prepared bill. after
consultation with all the heads Of depart
ments, for the erection of buildings at a cost
not exceeding So. 600 for postCffices in every
town and city in the United States when the
revenues for the postal service for three
years have amounted to $1,000 annually
The Senator considers public buildings the
most permanent improvements that can
be made Appropriations for rivers and
harbors are often thrown away in conse-
quence Of action by the elements, but a
public building stands and saves rent
There are evidently a number Of Demo
cratic Senators in full sympathy with SeBa-
tor Vest Seventy Of the sevcnty-eght
Senators have already introduced bills the
present session. IN the House 30 public
building bills are pending, representing tie
demands from 200 Congressional districts.
As there is a degree Of merit in all their
bills, a Senator who opposes other bills than
his own on general principles is pretty sure
to find his own bill in the waste-basket at
the end Of the session. general public
building law Ike that now proposed is not a
long step from the expenditure on this &C
count last year. New York has a Federal
public building which cost $3.50. 1872, St
Louis one that cost S5.6s6.854, Cincinnati
one that cost S5.OS8. $50. Chicago one that
cost 81. 553, 2i5, with Boston, New Orleans,
Charleston. Baltimore and San Francisco

buildings have cost more than they ought,
but that fact will not prevent other cities
from asking for annrOpriatinES

Competent Persons to Award Prizes at

The Alameda County Worlds Fair Asso-
citation has engaged an officer Of the organi-
zaton 10 visit every fruit-ranch and vine
yard within the bounds of the municipality
with the object of securing a large and rep
resentatiye exhibit Of all the county prod
ucts for the State Fair which Will be held
at Sacramento in the early autumn. At
the conclusion Of tire State exhibition the

Commissioners Thompson and McMurray
OF the California board and General n. r.
Chapman OF Red Bluff were in Yuba City
yesterday, where they delivered addresses
before the convention called for the purpose
Of organizing the Northern California
Worlds Fair Association.
The state Commission has been asked to
transmit 20 Chicago the names Of competent
jurors residing in California for the various
departments of the national collective ex-
hlbitS. Suggestions have been requested
from the various county associations and
from other reliable sources, and nOmina-
lions If jurors will probably be made at an
early meeting Of the commission and then
transmitted TO the Chicago authorities.
