TWENTY TONS OF Ell LEPHANTS
Gustavc Walter aud the Result of His
Trip to New York
lie Opens an Office In Gotham City and Has
Booked Some Great Attractions for
the Pacific Coast

Several weeks ago Gustave Walter of
the Orpheum circuit passed through this
city on his way east. He returned to San
Francisco last week, after an absence of
fiveweeks. He now writes Manager Petrch
concerning his eastern trip, and gives some
information concerning the results thereof
that are of interest to local theater goers.
Manager Petrich is moie than elated
over the information received and says
"Perhaps the most practical result of Mr.
Walters visit to New York is the opening
of booking Office in that city. Hereto
fore we have had 10 deal wi h agents, but
tie opening of an office in New York, with
a competent representative of the Orpheum
circuit in charge, places us in direct COLI
tact with the best variety performers in tt g
country. 1t will be the business
of our representative to see every
act of any merit and particularly
to look up the merit of new
people who are brought over by other
managers and if the act is such as we want
he is to nook it for the earliest possible date
He will keep track of all the principal
public here will appreciate our efforts to
secure the best people obtainable. With
an agent in New York, one in Europe and
our close connection at Chicago with one
of the greatest vaudeville circuits IN the
country, places us in a position to get the

always been liberal in his dealings with
the profession and if at any time in the
past our full program was in any act not
10 to the standard it was not because Mr..
Walter was not willing to Fay big prices
but because he positively could not get
them at the date wanted"
HAS the New York office booked any
attractions as yet?"
"Yes,'' replied Mr.. Petrich, II have al.
ready been notified OF the engagement of
Carroll johnson, the old-time and yet IA
nous negro minstrel. Pete Baker, the great
Dutch comedian, and the Millions comic
bar act. all to open here February Sd. For
later attractions we have the black Patti.
Rossows midgets and the troupe of trained
elephants that created such furore in

Just then Manager Petrich began flgur-
ing what the cost of moving twenty tons of
elephants would amount to, and remarked
that '.that outfit would have to pack their

NEARLY ALL FAVOR CObANS
Los Angeles Opinion on the
Cuban Question
SYMPATHY FOR PATRIOTS
Judge Stephens Opinion That England
Can Have Cuba
Attitude Of J. r. Sheward-A Vigorous Ex-
preston From Henry T. Hazard, Judge
e. H. Lamme and Many Others

A number of prominent Los Angeles
people have given their opinion on the
question of Cuban independence and what
they think of the proposition of the United
States recognizing the belligerency of the
patriots. The questions asked to all were
in the following form:
"Would the United States government
under existing conditions be justified in
recognizing the belligerency of Cuba?"
''Should the United States go farther and
recognize the independence of Cuba?"
"Should the United States permit Spain
to surrender Cuba to the jurisdiction of
another old world power?"
The responses TO these series OF questions
were as follows:
]. T. Steward, the Spring street dry
goods merchant, said: II am firmly con-
vinced that the Monroe dcctrine, as out
lined by President Cleveland in the Cuban
matter is a timely precaulion, and will be
awarning to all foreign powers of the OBJ
lection that they must expect to encounter
if any attempt is made to acquire territory
in either of the Americas, or in the ada
cent islands,"
M. G. Adler. of the London Clothing COM
tpany, said: "Since you insist on learning
my views on the subject, may say that
icertainiy do not think that the United States
should ermlt England or any other power
TO exercise jurisdiction over Cuba. The
Cubans are certainly entitled to the SYM
fpaihy of the people of the United States,
and for one am in favor of recognizing
their belligerency. do not think neces-
sarY to go any further. as | believe they
will soon not only assert but achieve their
independence. This latter will come sooner
ii we give them theic just deserts.''
Judge A. M. Stephens, attorney ~
hardly think oCr knowledge of the exist
inc conditions in Cuba will make it wise
fol me to answer the question regarding
the beligerency of Cuba. No doubt the
authorities in Washington are possessed of
Information upon which n reliable opinion
could be based. We know little of the rev.
oiuton in Cuba. as what news we receive
comes through Spanish censorship. But
comparing the natives of Cuba with those
of the Haytian Republic, they are not cal
culated to maintain the best form of re-
publican government. No doubt were Cuba
acquired by the United States this popula-
ton would in time become desirable citi-
zens. The Cubans have maintained a
Guerilla warfare for some months past,
nut have not as yet, SO far as we know,
established either a constitution or center
government from which authority is
administered. OF course the United States
could not recognize the independence of
Cuba until we had admitted their belliger-
ency. My opinion is that the transfer of
Cuba from Spain to England would GER
tainly be agreeable to this government. 1t
would certainly be no greater menace to
the welfare of this country than is Canada.
1t would be no breach of the Monroe doc
trine."

AS indicating most satisfactorily the
public estimate of THE HERALD as a
newspaper and guardian of public inter-
ests, the following quotation from recent
letter by prominent resident of Rivera,
DR.. ]. M. Mcfarland, is interesting. After
complimenting THE HERALD for being so
independent and outspoken in its denunci-
alton of thievery the doctor says:
~ think the present management has
made it the best paper 1 ever read, which
is saying much. We cannot afford to be
without a paper here that watches our in

JOHN H. Ho1r.-we are reliably

JOHN III. HoLT.-We are reliably
informed that John II. Holt, Of the
Huntington bar, son of Judge III. A.
Holt, of our town, is a candidate for
the Court of Appeals on the Demo-
cratic State ticket. A number of
the leading Democratic papers and
prominent party leaders Of the State
have cordially and, we may say, en-
Enthusiastically endorsed him, and it
seems probable that he will go into
the convention at Wheeling next
month with a strong following -
Mr.. Holt, though young, has had a
large and varied experience at the
bar, his extensive practice involv.
ing an investigation of the law on q
great variety of subjects. With this
experience, he has a cultured mind,
strong native intellect and fine com
prehension of legal principles
He has thus established for himself
reputation second to that of no
young lawyer in the State. and it Is
confidently believed that he would
make a worthy and most acceptable
successor to his honored father.

with scattering votes on each for
others. The New York delegation,
with many other of the gold dele
gates, declined to vote, contenting
themselves with this silent protest.
The permanent chairman, Senator
White, of California, following the
rule of the House of Representa-.
tives, under which the convention
was acting, held that t,oO-thirds of
those Uoting would be sufficient to
make a nomination under the two
thirds rule. 1t was, therefore, i'm
material, so far as the result was con-
cerned, whether the gold men voted
or not.
When it was seen on tho fourth
ballot that Bryan was forging largely
ahead there was great demonstra-
ton. Many delegations seized the
guidons and congregated aronnd the
seats of the Nebraskans. Hats,
handkerchiefs and flags were waved.
After several intellectual attempts to

restore order the chairman gave il
up. The guidons Of eighteen States
were around the Nebraska delega-
ton. Finally the Illinois delegation
formed procession amid great ex-
element and cheers and the demon
stration increased in intensity. Mrs.
Bryan, who was sitting on the plat
form, retained her composure while
those around her were engaged in
the demonstrations i'm the most eX-
cited manner.
When the fifth ballot was taken il
was soon evident that Bryan wo uld
be the nominee. Kentucky and H.
linois broke to Bryan. When Mon.
tana was reached aud her vote was
cast for Bryan, the thing was settled,
and great demonstration was made
Ex-Governor Stone, of Missouri,
took the platform and read a note
from Bland asking to have his name
withdrawn at any time when it ap-
peared some one else seems to be the
choice of the delegates. Governor
Stone then formally withdrew Mr.
BANDS name and asked that the
vote Of Missouri be given to Bryan
Iowa withdrew the name Of Boics
and gave her vote to Bryan. Ar
kansas and other States then changed
to Bryan. Turpie, of Indiana, with
drew the name of Matthews and cast
the vote Of that State for Bryan
He then moved that the nomination
be made unanimous. Objection to
this was made by those States that
took no part in the vote. The ques-
ton having been put and carried the
chairman declared the vote on Bryan
unanimous.
For Vice President Arthur Sewall
Of Maine, Williams of Massachu-
sets, Mclean of Ohio, Clarke of
North Carolina, Sibley of Pennsyl-
MIA, Bland of Missouri and several
others were placed in nomination
Several of these were, however, soon
withdrawn and on the fifth ballot,
when MIR. Sewall had received 47S,
his nomination was made unanimous.
So the ticket announced by the ma
tioual Democracy is William Jen-
nings Bryan, Of Nebraska, and Ar
thur Sewall, of Maine.
