Wiley rolled up totals of 81, 32, is

He Returns After an Extended Eastern
Trip.
General Manager X. H. Wade of the
Southern California Railway company
returned here yesterday after an ex-
tended trip to Chicago and New York.
He visited the world 3 fair, OF course, and
states that while it is in more or less
chaotic condition, it is stupendous in its
scope, and when complete in its details,
which he thinks will be by the LIST OF
June, will far eclipse anything OF the
kind ever attempted.
The naval review at New York Mr..
Wade witnessed from the pilot house of
steamer, and describes the spectacle
as magnificent. When President Cieve.
1aIute OF 2l guns and every whistle ON
the thousand or more steamers IN line
commenced to blow. The result in
noise can be imagined.
Mr.. Wade stated that no immediate
developments are to be made in railway
matters. President Rhinehart will be
here some time this summer, and then a
great many matters which were about to
be decided by President Marvel at the
| time of his illness will be acted upon.
1t is improbable that any extensions
of the line will be built for some time, ae
the money market 10 in 80 feverieh q
condition. Mr.. Wade learned frow New
York financiers that the main cause Of
uneasiness in their circle was the uncer-
tainty of labor and the silver question
AS long as there is liable to be national
legislation changing the present condi
ton of money, capital will be timid. Az
soon as definite policy is adopted con-
fidence will be restored.
Mr.. Wade id we'll and enjoyed his trir
greatly, but says that he is more thar
glad to get back.

THE new county of Riverside having

Sd cents; coffee, worse than slops, Is
cents, and 90 on. OF course the excess
i've prices for refreshments are an index
to the ekyward exactions for ali other
things sold on the fair grounds. People
visiting the worlds fair naturally ex-
pect to pay something more for what
they buy than they could get similar
things for at home; but they have a
decided objection to being ''stood up"

A FLOOD OF light was thrown on the
way in which property holders are
swindled in street work by an affidavit
that was read before the council yester-
day. The non partisan committee had
secured an affidavit from the man who
was foreman on the paving done recent
ly in Los Angeles street, in which he
deposed that one hundred barrels Of ce-
ment and many loads of gravel that
should have gone into the work were
kept out. The result OF this sensational
expose was to induce the council to or
der the city attorney to prepare an ordi-
nance requiring all inspectors on street
work to make their reports in writing
and swear to their accuracy.

THE gate receipts for the opening week
Of the worlds fair turned out to be q
great deal less than was expected. The
local directory are appalled,. But no
body is astonished at the refusal
OF the people in all parts Of
the country to rush to Chi
cago. The railroads have put their rates
up Internationally high so as to be in
the swim with the Chicago "cinchers"
themselves, and the people have quietly
met the universal determination to

is so much easier to forego sight at the

The line of march was north on Spring

After his marriage, Captain Foster

and at the end Of that time will be as

IT IS very apparent that a strong anti
monarcical, anti-militarst sentiment is
growing up in Germany. Forty-five
years ago the German people were in the
forefront of the revolutionary feeling
that spread all over Europe. The great
achievement of the Fatherland in the
Franco Prussian war undoubtedly
checked this tendency for years. The
prestige of Bismarck and the great ven

Los ANGELES THEATER The bravery
Of the amateur was illustrated last even
ing at the giving OF Oontrsbandista, an
operetta by Sir Arthur Sullivan. AS a
usual thing the aspiring non-professional
performer will seek an excuse for appear
ing by turning over the proceeds to some
charity, but the company which per-
formed last night apparently appeared
for their own benefit, and therefore are
to be Judged as profsssionalH.
One portion OF the affair can be con-
scientiously praised, and that is the
orchestral work, which was excellent.
Mr.. Alysworth as director put himself
too much in evidence, but the good
quality of the music given and the great
success he had in controlling and aiding
the more or less unframed voices of the
performers showed him to be most
capable leader.
The performance and singing of Miss
Bertha Agnes Penning go eclipsed the
qualities OF the other members of the
company as to make decidedly good
impression on the discerning in the au
dience. She made most pleasing ap-
pearance, her manner was marked by
ease and grace, and her voice, while toe
small for operatic roles, was sweet, true
and evidently we'll cultured.
Miss Isabel Moore as Inez displayed
great vigor and determination.
Mr.. Clark as Griggs sang the linet
with considerable accuracy, but was in
adequate to the demands of the part tol
light comedy ability.
MIR. Barr sang the part of Velaeques
with considerable force. but the emooth
est, most Professionalism work of any
of the men was that done by Mr.. NJ. G
Neuner and j. r. Logic as the tive
ladrones.
The stage settings and the grouping
were very pleasing owing to. the efforts
OF Stage Manager T. r. Sullivan.
The opera was preceded by farce

Miss Josephine Heath and Robert So
