WHERE THE VICTORY RESTS

The attempt Of the friends Of the
Southern Pacific Santa Monica harpor
scheme to make out that In the ACTON OF
the senate regarding the location or
deep sea harbor for Los Angeles they
have scored a victory. is inexpressibly
silly. II is. however. on par with the
slush they have inflicted on the public
since the consideration OF the harbor
matter by this session of congress.
The suggestion Of new commission
to examine into the merits of the rival
sites came from Senator White. as
everybody who reads the newspapers
knows. In making it Senator White
was prompted by desire to show the
absolute confidence that he and the
other friends of the San Pedro site have
I'm the merits of the latter, as opposed TO
the Santa Monica proposition. Another
investigation by another commission
will but give opportunity for piling up
evidence in favor Of the site already
twice endorsed by government experts.
Senator Frye and the others of Hunt
ington's staff in Washington fought the
idea of a new commission from the out
set until the last moment. Then when
it became apparent that the fight waged
on the floor Of the senate by Senators
White, Perkins and Berry threatened to
swamp the item in the majority report
of the senate commerce committee car
rying the appropriation for Santa Mon
lea harbor, Senator Frye sought loop
hole of escape from absolutely ignomin-
ious defeat by proposing an amend
ment that embodied Senator Whites
proposition of a commission, the only
differences between the White and
Frye amendments being In regard to
the size and character of the commits
sion. In the White amendment COM
mission consisting of three engineers,
one each from the army, naval and geo
detic survey corps. was provided for.
Frye's amendment called for a COM
mission of five NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. civil
ian engineers to be appointed by the
president, a naval officer to be detailed
by the secretary of the navy, and an
officer of the coast and geodetic survey
to be detailed by the superintendent of
the survey Senator Frye's action con-
stituted as complete a surrender as
could be made.
The river and harbor bill. as reported
by the senate commerce committee. car
ried a provision for the construction of
a breakwater at Santa Monica at an eX-
pense Of nearly s3,O00O00; the river and
harbor bill, as amended by the senate.
carries no appropriation for the Santa
Monica project at all, but instead pro-
vides for a commission which shall de-
termine which furnishes the best site
for a deem sea harhOr-San Pedro or
Santa Monica.
Let us have no more rot about "vic-
tory for Santa Monica triumph for
the advocates of two harbors.' 1t was
a victory for the people and crushing
defeat for the advocates of two har-
bors."

THEIR RECORDS

In that compendium of fallacy and
falsehood. known as 'Altgeld's reply to
Carlisle" the statement is made that
both Secretaries Carlisle and Herbert

Yer until they entered the cabinet of
President Cleveland. when their views
regarding the matter We're altered. The
inference suggested hy this sort of al
legation is that for the sake of holding
office in the presidents cabinet Mr.. Car
Isle and Mr.. Herbert forsouk their hon.
estly entertained views and became tn.
advocates Of financial PROPOSITIONS
which they AT heart do not believe in.
The trouble with this statement of
Altgeld's is one common with the state
ments Of the Altgeldian style of silver
champion-it is false. The facts about
The attitude of Carlisle and Herbert on
the coinage of silver question are best
told in the following excerpt from an
able editorial in the Chicago Chronicle:
Mr.. Carlisle was a member of the
senate from Kentucky in the fifty-sec-
ond congress, and, July l. 1892, voted in
that body on q call of the roll against
the tree-silver bill that had been in
troduced by Senator Stewart. This was
eight months before he became mem
Der Of President Clevelands cabinet,
and when he had two or three years be-
fore him in the senate. with a certainty
that he would be reelected 1T the close
of his term.
"Mr. Herbert's auti-silVer record in
the fifty-second congress is equally
clean. As early as March Z, 1892, Chair
man Bland of the house coinage COM

News has just reached here that on
May 4th as a Southern Pacific freight
train was passing Tortuga, point on
the desert half way between 1ndio and
Yuma, a young man, whose name was
afterwards ascertained to be Jack DEM
ing, was noticed standing opposite the
track as If waiting for the train to pass.
When the engine was five feet away
from him he threw himself directly in
front of It. and the train passed over him
cutting off one arm, one foot, making
deep cut in the groin and also injurins
his head. He was picked up and taken
into Mammoth Tank station. where he
died half an hour later. 1t appears to
have been deliberate act of suicide.
The competition of the electric rail-
way has forced the steam roads to lower
their passenger rates to Santa Monica,
the Southern Pacific having given no
tice to the other roads that next Mon
day. the 18th inst, it will put 50-cent
round trip rate in effect between Santa
Monica and Los Angeles. Heretofore,
while the one-way rate on the steam
roads has been the same to Santa Mon
lea, the round trip has been 20 cents.

AT THE THEATERS

LOS ANGELES HEATER.-Patrice,
that pretty and fascinating soubrette,
has again joined the Hoyt & Mckee
forces and will be seen in the character
of Willie Grow in Hoyt's A Trip to
Chinatown, which comes to the Los An
geles theater tonight and for the balance
of the week and a Saturday matinee.
Harry Conor. whose reputation as a
farce-comedy comedian is known to al
most every theater-g oer in the land, still
continues in the character of Welland
Strong, the man with one foot in the
grave. This part he has played for six
successive years, and still continues to
enthuse life and snap into the char
acter which is remarkable. The COM
pany containing all the original metro
politan favorites sails from San Fran
cisco for Australia May 18th. where they
go to fulfill an engagement of sixteen
weeks. Mr.. Julian Mitchell. known as
the best stage director Of farce comedy
in America, is with A Trip to China
town, and will personally conduct the
business affairs of those theatrical mag
mates during the Los Angeles engage
ment of their musical trifle.

that have been the feature at the Or
pheum for several weeks bear strong
testimony to thu fact that the public
appreciate the efforts of the manage
ment in giving such strong attractions.
An excellent bill is on this week. and is
drawing the usual big houses. Among
the many strong features may be men
toned the dancing of Miss Golden: also
that of Miss Kendall and the wh!stling
of Billy Golden; the high kicking and
comedy of Hayes and Post. the Three
Rubes" act by Dixon, Bowers and Dix
on, and the Spanish music as rendered
by the Ramirez troubadours. This will
