GeOrgia's Conventions.
From the Atlanta Journal Dem

The committee would go to great length
if it should take it upon itself to change a
well-established custom of the party. WHY
has it been suddenly discovered that we
should have one convention this year in
stead of two? Surely it will not be contend
ed that such action by the committee
would conduce to party harmony. That it
would be considered a trick in the inter-
est of a faction is not to be doubted, and
that it would increase, instead of allay
democratic dissensions, is certain. The
people have not spoken on this question
and until they do the state committee had
better not do so.

DR.. Jameson's lucky star seems to be
still in the ascendancy. The PROBABLE
ties are that he will not even suffer i'm
prisonment for his raid into the Trans
vaal there being no English law under
which he can be tried. President Kruger
was probably not aware of that fact when
he turned the doctor over to the English
authorities. Under the laws of the South
African republic DIR. Jameson's offense
was punishable with death.

Capt Hughes of the Laurada, on trial
at Charleston on the charge Of filibuster-

was given the benefit of the doubt and
acquitted. The fact that he was charged
with having given aid to a people seek

account for the doubt.

Senator Hill has INTRODUCED bill to au-
thorize the construction of an electric
cruiser. equipped with a system of cleo
trio motors and propellers. or the equip
ment of one of the present cruisers of the
navy with that system. The inventor
says that a speed of thirty-five knots an
hour can be maintained by a cruiser 50
equipped The outcome of the Vesuvius
experiment will probably prevent congress
from authorizing the construction of
costly naval craft upon the undemon-
strated hypothesis of enthusiastic invent
ors. 1t is altogether likely that the time
is not very far distant when ships will
be propelled by electrical power. and at
a rate of speed much greater than has as
yet been attained by steam craft But the
electrical ship is yet creation of the fu-
ture. and it is hardly the governments
function to develop it.

1t is understood that Speaker Reed has
caused it to be brought to the attention
of the chaplain of the House that the
rules provide that the daily sessions shall
be opened with prayer, and not with an
address by the chaplain on the state of
the union. 1t is well enough if this re-
port is correct. 1t would not be a great
step for the chaplain to take to go from
discussing the Venezuelan and Cuban ar
fairs in his prayers to a consideration of
the daily business on the calendar, includ-
the tariff, and other purely political mat

President Kruger of the South African
republic is said to be even more puritan
teal in his ideas than were the Puritans OF
New England. He never goes to places
of amusement of any kind. because he
regards all forms of amusement as sinful
and his dress is of the plainest and home
lest sort. for the reason that he thinks
1t worldly to dress in any other manner
1t is said he rises at o'clock in the
morning and has his breakfast served at
4. He would probably not be a welcome
guest in society households in London.

GOT AN OBJECT LESSON
Frank Wiggins Tells About the Effect
OF the Atlanta Exhibit
The Southern People We're Greatly Edited
and It VIII Rebound TO the Commercial
Benefit of California

Frank Virgins, the able superintendent
of the chamber OF commerce, who has just
returned from Atlanta, tells tale Of the
sunny south that has to be heard to be ap-
preciated. IT one doesn't hear the relation
by Mr.. Wigeins in his own inimitable way,
half the interest of the story is destroyed.
''Ees, indeed, it was good show that
they had down south, and it was good
field for us to display our products in, for
those people down there knew absolutely
nothing about California. They know a
good deal now, for we told them much and
showed them more.
"Such thing as shipments of Cal ifornia
freight in the line of produce was compar-
atively unknown at Atlanta until this
year. From August lst up to the time |
left forty carloads of our produce of vari-
GUS kinds had been shipped to Atlanta for
distribution throughout the south. That
consider to be one of the direct results of
our exhibits.
people throughout the south know what
our prunes, our olives and our dried frIits
are. They have been getting them bsfore,
but they have come around by New York,
and they never inquired where they were
from. Now they will get them direct from
us and they will get them in larger utIanti-
ties then they ever did before.
1.-THE directors said when I took q car
lead of stuff out of the exhibit here in the
chamber of commerce hall that it would
make it look small. Now that | have got
the carload and half to put back, l do
not know what to do with it.'

Railroad Notes.

The Southern California railway will run
its advertised excursion to Riverside today.
The appearance of the country since the
gentle rains has been entirely changed and
the trip through the groves and orchards
will be "A delightful one.
The committee of arrangements at Riv-
erside, on account of the stormy weather,
have asked that the Riverside day excur-
sion be postponed. In accordance with
their request the Southern Pacific will
postpone its excursion until February 5th.
When mir. j. Kruttschmtt of the South
ern Pacific road was here some weeks ago,
the transportation passes which it is usual
to give to connecting railroad agents were
cut down, with the result that most of
them, if they wish. say to visit San Fran
cisco, must apply for a trip pass. The
pasteboard generally is good to, or south
of, Moiave only. and much silent kicking
is being INDUCED in as a consequence.

THE OIL GOES UP IN PRICE
An Advance of Twenty Cents Barrel
Reported
One of the Results of the New Program of
Unity of Action That Has Been
Outlined

There were no sales of oil on the Los
Angeles market yesterday, but despite this
fact the price was put up to 80 cents
barrel. There it will remain.
This was one of the results of the mass
meeting of the producers and well owners
held at the oil exchange on Monday even
ing.
Enough signatures had been secured to
the agreement and contract to sell all oil
through the exchange to warrant this in
crease in the price, which is a 2O-cent
jump.
The work of securing additional sigma
lures is being pushed, and the committee
is meeting with gratifying success. Pro-
ducers realize that something must be
done, and it takes but liIte persuasion to
convince them that unity of action is one
of the essential things to be done TO secure
and save promising industry.
The intention is, after things get in rum
ming order. TO fix the price at SO cents f. o.
b. This figure will be decided increase
on what owners have received for a long
time, and ii the price can be maintained, :,
there will be some hope.
OF course ever since the rain commenced
operations in the oil district have been at a
stand still. Absolutely nothing has heen
done. No sales have been made of any
moment.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC CHANGE
Tom H. Goodman to be Superseded by
S. F. B. Morse
Passenger Agents Think the Policy of the
Road Will be Changed and for the
Better-Notes

Tom H. Goodman, general passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific railroad,
with offices in San Francisco, is to be su-
perseded by S. f. B. Morse, who at the
present time holds the position of general
passenger and ticket agent with the Allan
tic system of the Southern Pacific, with
headquarters in New Orleans. The author
ity for this statement is to be found in a
leaflet issued by the Official Guide of the
United States and Canada.
For obvious reasons, the passenger
agents of connecting roads in this city do
not wish to go upon record as commenting
upon the proposed change. They, how
ever, have opinions upon it and are unan-
imous in their several expressions, the con-
sensus being that MIR. Goodman, while per-
sonally an estimabe gentleman, is not suf-
ficienily abreast OF the times in railroad
matters. One agent, whose views were
shared in the main by all of the others who
were seen, said:
The superseding of Tom Goodman by
Mr.. Morse means a radical change in the
policy of the Southern Pacific railroad, at
least on the coast. Mr.. Goodman person
ally is all right, but as a railroad man he is
not where he should be. The great trouble
with the Southern Pacific is that it has too
many pensioners in high positions; it has
too many men who are twenty five years
behind the times. The proposed change,
in my opinion, means radical though not
violent change in the roads policy. 1t
will be more liberal and more conciliatory
in its dealings with men. 1t will hunger
more for business and thirst less for scalps.
And if you study closely the meaning of
these simple words, they mean good deal.
Back east the Southern Pacific offers in
ducements for business. 1t affords the
agent and even the ticket broker COM
mission for patronage. That is scarcely
true of the roads policy on the coast. Tom
Goodman, / believe, would at any time
give $500 to be shown a fresh, warm
scalp. This was his feeling towards the
brokers, and it entailed fearful expense
to the company he represented. There
were detectives and lawyers and spoilers
under regular salary: there was depart
ment to be maintained, and then there
were the settlements of damage cases both
in and out of courts, and no man on the
outside knows how many of the latter were
adjusted. Why. one notary public not
long ago told me that a person would
scarcely believe the number of cases that
came to him in his Official capacity where
settlements were made by the Southern
Pacific right here in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Morse is young man and a progress
i've man. He is not warped, neither is he
gnarled. His is career that stamps him
as brOadgauge business man and l think
that his policy will inure greatly to the
benefit of the road he represents.
In reply to a question this same agent
further said: | do not know that this
change means other changes in the per-
sonnel of the road. 1t may and even prob
ably will but don't care TO hazard any
more definite opinion upon this phase of
the situation.

The members OF the Ffee Harbor league
met at the chamber o. commerce yesterday
afternoon to transact further business in
perfecting the organization. President l..
w. Blinn called the meeting to order, after
which Secretary Woolwine presented his
report. 1t contained a statement of the
progress of the association up to the pres
ent time, showing an increase of 80 in
membership during the past week. The
total number is now 100, most of whom
have paid their initiation fee amounting to
81 and the annual assessment of the same
amount. The secretary announced the ap-
pointment of Colonel w. Ii. Ii. Russell as
solicitor for the league. That gentleman
will hereafter attend to the enlisting of new
members, the collection of dues, etc.
A communication Yas read from the sec
retary of the Engineers and Architects
association expressing the good Will of its
members for the work being done by the
league, and containing copy of the har-
Dor reports as donation to the literary
matter of the league.
The committee on nominations reported

were elected:
On membership-Charles Wier, chair
man; Robert McGarvin, George Gephard,

and e. w. Burton.
The secretary WAS instructed to inform
the different chairmen of their appoint
ment, with the request that they organize
their committees as soon as possible, with
a view of getting the association in working
order at the earliest possible date.
The meeting was then adjourned subject
to the call of the chair.
