In their application the petitioners
recite that the Capital Savings Bank

1869, and that since that date it has
been continuously engaged in the busi-
ness of banking; that the capital stock
Of the bank is 100000, divided into
5000 shares of 500 each, and that on

Concluding, the application states
that all claims and demands against

but, like many another reform. 1t is
to be accomplished "by Act OF PaTlia-
mont"
How easy, how simple. how wise!
These narrow ways, on which mainly
stables abut, and which are chleny
adorned with dung heaps, fire-alarm
poles and bad stenches, are to be caileo
avenues" and presto! the change is
made.
But, to clinch matters, it Is pro-
posed to name them, and because there
are no trees upon them these alleys are
not only to be converted into avenues
by emitting them, but they are to be
named after trees, such as birch, cher-
ry, elm, sycamore and the like, and De-
cause our alleys do not smell sweet
there is to be a sprinkling of names
suggestive of flower and fruit, such as
orange, jessamine, tulip. vine, rose, and
so on.
OF course, when Orange avenue is
spoken of, Pasadenans, who boast OF
their lovely Orange avenue, with It's
stately residences, beautiful gardens
and fine public buildings, will, on vls-
iting Sacramento, naturally drop down
to see how our Orange avenue COM
pares with theirs, and will find it mar
row, pole-incumbered, manure dressed
and slop-sprinkled alley, twenty feet
wide and no more, upon which the back
yards of all the people living between 0
and P streets abut, with the usual ac-
compartments and conveniences, to say
nothing Of necessaries, of back yards.
We confess that we are surprised at
the action of the committee Of the
Chamber of Commerce. It's motive is
all right, but it has been switched off
in a wrong direction, and needs head
good taste. 1t ought to know that ave
nue. Is a very misleading word if ap-
piled to alleys. It will do us absolute
harm, because it will excite expecta-
tons incapable Of realization Strang-
ers visiting the city will see upon the
map, in the Directory and on the street
and alley corners the pretentious title
avenue" applying to a narrow back
yard alley. What must they think Of
our taste, and what must be their
thought concerning our conception Of
the meaning Of the word avenue?
We assert, without any fear Of sue
cessful contradiction by Messrs. Cole
man, Bennett, Luhrs, Mclaughlin, FL
kus and Curtis of the committee, that
they will nowhere in the United States,
or anywhere else, find any community
that does not understand avenue to
mean a broad street, or a principal
residence street, usually one of beauty,
adorned and well kept, such as Mich
igan and Wabash avenues in Chicago,
Van Ness avenue in San Francisco
Magnolia avenue, Riverside (Which it is
a liberal education to view, Euclid
avenue, Cleveland, and Gratiot ave-
nue., Detroit.
Granted that in some cities some very
Indifferent ways are called avenues,
that fact Is no excuse for making any
such blunders here Call the alleys
streets, gentlemen, and no one will OBJ
ject, nor will good taste be offended,
but for Heavens sake spare the word
avenue" and spare the people the
humiliation of pointing out alleys when
asked, Where are your ayenues?"

STREETS AND AVENUES.

The Standard Dictionary defines "av-
erue" to be a wide or principal street.
generally one bordered by trees. Web
ster defines it as broad street, a prin-
cipal approach to place. ETC.
A committee of the Chamber of Com
merce has petitioned the City Trus-
tees to change the order of things, and.
so far as Sacramento is concerned, to
make the alleys into avenues. This is
to be done, not by widening them into
broad streets, or planting their borders
with shade and ornamental trees, nor
by making them principal approaches,

1t has been learned from an authentic
source that Secretary Olney and Senior
Dupuy de LONE have practically termin-

question, which are to be submitted to
congress when 1t convenes, January 5.
The terms of the agreement are based
on recent official communications from
Premier Canovas addressed to the secre-
tary of state.
The premier states clearly the teIms
which Spain will accord to the insur-
gents, and practically asks the United
States to propose these conditions to her
rebellious subjects. In return for our
good Offices, Spain assures this govern
ment she sincerely deplores the great
commercial loss which we have sus-
tanned on account of the Cuban disturb

THE SULTAN MUST YIELD.
Or He win Be Neither CaIiph Nor
KhediVe.

Or He Win Be Neither Caliph Nor
CoNsTANFINoPLE, Dec. 2S.-The Rus
sian ambassador on Saturday, acting in
concert with representa- of Great
Britain, France, Italy, Germany and
Austria, had an audience with the
sultan, Abdul Hamid, one of many such
interviews within the past year, on the
same subject, the better administration
of affairs in the Turkish empire.
The Russian diplomat began by warn
ing the sultan and the Turkish govern
ment that if the revenues ceded for pay
ment of the Turkish debt were touched.
European control of the finances of the
empire would become inevitable. M.
de Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador,
further informed the sultan that the
czar guaranteed his personal safety and
engaged himself to maintain the sultan's
supremacy in the event of severe meas
ures being necessary upon the part of
the powers. The sultan, however, re-
mained obdurate, refusing to consent to
any measure of control, financial or
otherwise, by the powers.
The Russian ambassador said the con-
dition of the Turkish empire placed the
throne and the caliphate in imminent
peril. Thereupon Abdul Hamid re-
marked impressivelY.
ST may be the last of the caliphs, but
l will never become second khedive.'
In addition to these warnings, M. de
Nelidoff sent note to the Turkish gov
ernment and to the palace. The utmost
significance is attached to it in diplo-
matte circles. He pointed out in pre-
else terms the necessity for the sui
tan following the advice of the
powers and acting in complete agree
ment with their plans for improving the
situation, warning them once more that
the sultan's refusal to do so involves the
most disagreeable consequences.
The ambassadors of the powers will
meet again to discuss the situation, and
will reassemble in future twice week
until they complete their recommends
tions to the sultan and his advisers.
The envoys acting together will hence
forth maintain the strictest secrecy re.
I9arding their deliberations and the &C.
tion taken or contemplated, and will mol
even inform the envoys of other powers
OF the decisions reached.
These latest steps upon the part o
