INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY.

It is occasion for some surprise that
a large number Of the business people OF
Los Angeles did not earlier discover San
Francisco's interest in fostering the
strife regarding appropriations for the
improvement Of the harbors Of Port Los
Angeles (Santa Monica), and Of VIII
mington (San Pedro). It ought to be
perfectly clear to the people Of Los An
geles that San Francisco has vital first
interest in preventing any public work
upon either Of these harbors since the
metropolitan idea Is that the betterment
Of one or the other will tend to shear the
metropolis Of considerable Importance
as a shipping and distributing point.
That this truth is now dawning upon
all the people Of Los Angeles is appar-
ent, for the dispatches speak Of a paper
in circulation there that Is receiving
the signatures OF business men which
recites that 1t would be wise policy on
the part Of the people OF the south to en-
courage the Federal Government to such
work at Santa Monica as Wsulds enable
1t in time Of need to fortify that point
defensively, and to make It a harbor
where Federal ships might find safety
The paper also recites that the improve
ment Of that harbor will naturally bring
with it vast expenditure by railroad In
terests that would reach tide-water at
that point, and the same. indeed, is said
Of San Pedro.
It is also set out that the unreasoning
and heated opposition to improvement
at Santa Monica has resulted, as the
people were warned 1t would result, in
the refusal to recommend substantial
work at either harbor. It has simply
resolved itself into the case Of having
something done at both points, or moth
ing at either. The interest Of San Fran
cisco is. Of course, to have nothing done
hence its extreme solicitude at this time
for Los Angeles to oppose any action
looking to the improvements at Santa
Monica, otherwise Port Los Angeles.
It is one of the oldest of strategems
among military men to divide the op.
posing force IL possible. to 80 operate
as to bring on contention and confusion
among the enemy, since this tends te
lead to defeat. San Francisco is a unit
against the Improvement of any harbol
south or north OF her that will threaten
her commercial supremacy and divide
the traffic stream flowing across the
continent, and give 1t new points Of de.
parture and incoming at tide-water.
Had any other community than that Of
progressive Los Angeles been SO short
sighted as to have fallen into the pur.
pose of San Francisco, we should fee
justified in pronouncing 1t idiotic. But
1t happens that Los Angeles Is not q
unit in this matter Of opposing its owr
best interests, and 1t, therefore. escapes
the commendation that such insanity
as opposing Federal expenditure in i'm
proving two tidal points near Los An
geles would warrant; and, besides. it is
now developing that even those who al
first took the radical and suicidal posi-
ton which promises to result so disas-
trously, are now In the calm Of returning
reason reconsidering and looking at the
situation from the standpoint Of reason
and self-interest.

We have been asked what would be
the effect of the passage of resolutions
by our Congress recognizing the bel
ligerency Of the Cuban rebels. That de-
pends for answer upon the wording Of
the resolutions and the form of them
legislatively. But in any form they
would have the moral effect of notice
to General Weyler that the war must
be conducted in Cuba on the lines rec
ognfzed by civilized people, and that
refusal would be considered an un-
friendly act; that if the warning is not
needed more decisive declaration would
be likely to follow, possibly backed by
action. If resolutions are adopted that
would make it incumbent upon the Ex-
ecutive to communicate them to Spain,
then the effect would be to open the
American market to the rebels to buy
and ship out munitions of war from
American ports without interference
on our part, precisely as Spain has
the right to do now In her own behalf.

pie are much divided. It is the office of
craftsmanship to prevent even the pop
ular voice from influencing the policy Of
the Government until it is expressed in
calm and orderly manner, and when
the expressed sentiment does not arise
from calm deliberation and from sincere
conviction OF justice. It is certainly TRUE
that as to the recognition of Cuban in
dependence the people of the United
States have not reached a definite con-
clusion as to what would be just and
upright in the premises. 1t has not had
as yet that thought which should be
given to the matter. 1t is the office Of

The est. James Gazette thus inter
prets the American definition of the
Monroe doctrine:
''The sacred right of any State
to maintain its own unity and
to suppress it's own rebels without for
eign intervention was what the North
valiantly poured out its blood and dol
lars for. But 1t seems that European
Governments having subjects and ter
ritories in the neighborhood of the
American continent have no rights. The
Cubans, no doubt, have not been well
governed, and suffer much from an ad-
ministration which is often lax and not
too honest But if the United States ar
rogates the right to upset every Gov
ernment not administered according to
it's ideals as understood in the rule of
public affairs, Washington and New
York will have a great deal to do, and
they might begin by reforming Vene-
zuela. The Monroe doctrine is of un-
common fiexibility to adaptation, and it
may SAL hands off to all Europe and
hands on for the United States where
the tranSmarine possessions of a Euro
pean Power are concerned. This prin-
ciple is applicable to Cuba, which is not
part OF the American continent, to-
day. Why not to Fiji, Manila and New
Zealand tomorrow
The error of the Gazette" resides in
its misstatement of the claim of this
country. 1t is not held that we will
ignore the rights of foreign nations
having possessions in this hemisphere.
But 1t is held that in the exercise of
any jurisdictional territorial claim of
right a European monarchical State
shall not extend it's system over any
free State or territory of the Americas
without the consent of that State, and
in some cases not even by such con-
sent, because we look upon the extern
sion OF monarchical systems in this
hemisphere as dangerous to republican
institutions and to the maintenance of
which we are pledged

FIGHT OVER FURNITURE.
Application for a Receiver for the
Ware ComDnny of Atlanta.

Atlanta. Ga. March H.-Applcation has
been made for the appointment of a
receiver for the Ware Furniture Com
pany. the largest concern of the kind
in this section, employing over one hun
bred hands. The amount of money in
vested is 100000. and the result of the
litigation is of considerable Importance
in the business community.
The petition was filed by Simmons &
Corrigan. representing the Lynch estate,
and Investment Company, Thomas A:
Lynch, administrator of the estate OF
L. j. Mcnamara. and w. b. Manning.
The petitioners allege that the Ware
company bought out the Manning Furni-
ture Company on Jan. 10, 1891 II Is
claimed that the assets of the Manning
Company, including stock, material, ma
chinery plant, real estate notes and &C
counts, amounted to SlS,6OO, and that $4,000
worth of stock in the Ware Furniture
Manufacturing Company was to have been
issued to Mcnamara, and a like amount
to Manning, In payment for these assets,
which. however, has never been done.
1t is claimed that the Lynch Estate and
Investment Company advanced money
amounting to &4,SOO to the furniture COM
II is stated that p. ]. Mcnamara. up
to the time of his death, was secretary
and treasurer of the Lynch company, as
well as of the Ware company. 1t is al
legged that by loose management and
Irregularities he confused and compli-
Gated the accounts of the two companies
to the great loss of the Lynch company.
Judge Lumpkin granted an order res
training w. r. Ware from disposing of the
assets of the furniture company and fix
ing next Saturday as "a time for hearing
to determine whether or not the receiver
prayed for should be appointed.
After the petition for a receiver had been
filed the Ware Furniture Manufacturing
Company filed a mortgage in favor OF the
Union Loan and Trust Company for $780,
600 The mortgage covers the entire prop
erty of the furniture company, and is to
secure an issue of $4,000 worth of ten
year first mortgage gold bonds. The date
upon the mortgage is April 2, 1894.

MFRS. LILLY's MURDERER.
A MiIlSman Names Terms on Which
He VIII DivuIge His Identity.

Atlanta, Ca, March H.-G. e. Speight
Is a milkman who lives in West Atlanta.
Speight claims to know the murderer of
Mrs. Mary Lilly, who was mysteriously
choked to death with pair of tongs two
years ago in her house near where Speight
lives. He says he will divulge his name
If he is given two-thirds of the reward
but he wants the assurance of Chief Con-
molly that the murderer shall not be hang
ed. Then he says he wants the city to re-
fund him $2S.25 that he was fined in police
court several months ago. Speight has
told the chief that he knows the murderer
well, and will give him up to justice pro-
vided his conditions are agreed to- I'm
der no circumstances, he says, will he
make known the criminals name if he is
TO be hanged. A twenty year sentence
would be sufficient punishment for the
crime, he says.
This morning Charles Lilly, leader of
the Grand Opera house orchestra, and
his brother, Frank, called upon Chief of
Police Connolly. They had heard of
Speights peculiar proposition and asked
that the matter be thoroughly inVestiga-
ted. Speight is said to be of unsound
mind.
Two negroes were arrested for the muir
der of Mrs. Lilly and after being kept in
fail for weeks were released by the grand
jury failing to find a true bill against
them.
Speight, who now claims to have the
name of the murderer in his possession,
is the brother-in-law of Fred Lilly, son
of the murdered woman.

merce said to-day that many responses had

the chamber Of commerce had unanimous

state conventions in Ohio and Rhode Is
land are characterized by Mr. Hentz as
dlsgraceful to American intelligence and
after brief treatise on the
prevalent money question, which,
Mr.. Hentz says, should be taken
out OF politics, he said, IL either
party favors free silver coinage it should
say so. The business men of the party he
adds, do not care the flip of a copper
about party traditions and old party ties
in the presence of a burning question
citizen"
He concludes: 1--WE will endure no more
humbug nor deceit. The fight is on and
1t is a hight to the finish.'
