The air is thick with rumors of approach
ing opera seasons in San Francisco, and if
all the plans that are being formulated do
but materialiZe there promises to be car
nival OF every form of opera during the
next seven or eight months.
The Bostonians have decided TO appear
at the Columbia Theater early in the
autumn season. Later, the Tavary Com
pany will sing at the Baldwin, and
as Manager Pratt is at present en-
gagged in strengthening his forces
the probability is that his troupe will
be much better all-round organiza-
ton than it was last season. The first
operate troupe to appear at the Baldwin,
however, will be the Pauline Hall Light
Opera Company.
At the Tivoi a season of grand opera
with Eastern artists is being contemplated.
Many optimists who crave for opera as
it is presented at the Metropolitan Opera
house in New York give faith to the
rumors that certain rich men in this City
contemplate erecting a building suitable
for the representation Of music-drama,
and that Walter Danrosch and his
German opera company will open it in
November. If this be so there is little
doubt but that the Abbey, Schoeffel and
Grau Company would follow. Damrosch
has definitely decided to give a season of
German opera in New York, and to tour
with his troupe afterward. The Abbey
Company, which intends also to give
German opera as well as Italian opera, is
likely TO prove a dangerous rival in
New York City, and it is not
improbable that Damrosch is relying
largely on his tour to make the season
pecuniary success, and that he
would gladly come TO San francisco If the
difficulty of finding a suitable building
could be overcome

THE RAILROAD FRANCHISE
The Pomona Trustees Decide to Adye-.
tise il for Sale
A Proposition to Reimburse Damaged Citizens
by Subscription ii Necessary to
Secure the Road

POMONA, Sept. 25.--After spirited
debate by interested property holders and
citizens generally whether or not to
grant the franchise asked by the South
ern Pacific, the city council last evening.
after first voting to lay the matter over
another week, reconstructed their forme
vote and passed resolution offering for
sale the franchise asked Tor by the rail-
road company. Councilan Raynes ex-
planned his opposition to the granting of
the franchise in the opening address of
the evening. At the conclusion of his
speech Trustee Landon seconded Mr..
Raynes' motion to lay the matter on the
table for q week, which was carried.
After listening to the arguments which
followed and which became somewhat
heated, led by ]. d. II. Browne, Stod-
dard Jess, banker, John WATSON, editor
Pomona Times, and others, Councilman
Landon rose and asked for Il reoonsidera,
ton of the vote to lay on the table, with
the result as stated at the beginning OF
this article. Now that the franchise has
been practically granted. the injured
property holders AUDITING on the line OF
the proposed road have recourse to the
courts for damages, and it seems to be
the general opinion that committee OF
citizens will be appointed to assess the
damages and, ii need be, to com pensate
the property holders in interest by sub
scrl ton. for whatever difference there
may be between the amount to be agreed
to BIO paid by the railroad and what is
thought to be fair and reasonable price
asked by the land owner.
A point that is practically agreed upon
is that the proposed new entrance of the
Southern Pacific into Pomona is for the
