FOR SAN PEDRO HARBOR.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 16.-Inter-
est in the harbor question centers-at pres
ent in the hearing before the Senate Com
merce Committee at Washington to-mor-
row. Lively developments are expected
when the delegations sent from here to
look after the respective interests of San
Pedro and Santa Monica get the ears of
the Senators and proceed to enlighten them
on the local situation.
An additional mass of information was
wired TO the Free Harbor League repre-
sentatives at Washington this evening.
Among the matter sent was a petition
signed by several hundred of the leading
members of the Chamber of Commerce
urging Congress to make an appropriation
for both the inner and the outer harbor of
San Pedro. The petition was got up
because emissaries of the Southern Pa
cific Company were circulating a paper
purporting to show that the senti-
ment OF the Cham Der of Comme favored
an appropriation for deep-sea harbor at
Santa Monica and for the inner harbor
only at San Pedro.
Ex-Mayor Workman, who helped to cir
culate the petition asking for two appro-
pIldtlOnS lOr odn GeQro, secured the s1gna-
lures of 125 members of the Chamber of
Commerce who are in the wholesale trade.
The very few wholesale merchants who
refused to sign 1t gave as their sole excuse
that they did business with the Southern
Pacific and were afraid the octopus would
strangle them if they signed such paper.
John T. Humphries and others made a
thorough canvass of the general member
ship of the Chamb ber of Commerce, and
secured the signatures of large majority
of them to the petition for dual appro-
priation for San Pedro. The canvass left
nc doubt in their minds that nine-tenths
of the members favor San Pedro as the site
for the deep-sea harbor.
The Los Angeles County Council of
Labor has reaffirmed its opposition to
Huntington's proposed harbor grab by the
adoption of the following emphatic decla-
ration, to which there was but one dissent
ing voice at the last meeting:
The issue has at last been distinctly
defined. AS we view the harbor matter
there is either one side or the other for the
citizen to line up on. He is either for San
Pedro and the peoples harbor or he is
against San Pedro. There is no middle

were uttered. In my opinion the declara-
tons of Sutro are simply pretext under
which he will endeavor to avoid keepin G
his promise to the regents, and L now pre-
dict that when the time comes he will
find some technicalty or excuse for not
carrying out his agreement. L defy any
man to show single instance in which he
has kept his promises to the public except
in those schemes for the avowed benefit of
the populace which are marked by the
jingle OF nickels and dimes as they pour
into the Sutro pocket"

MUST GIVE UP THE CUP,
The Result of the 1O0-M Relay Race
Causes III FeeIin0.

The Result of the 100 Mile Relay Race
Causes III Feeling.
SAN JOSE, CAL, April 16-The refusal
of the Bay City Wheelmen to give up the
cup won in the 100 m lie relay race by the
Garden City Cyclers is the cause of great
deal of i'll feeling toward them, as the de-
oision of the referee disqualifying them is
sustained by all disinterested witnesses.
l. Percy Mills. when seen in reference to
publication iu a San Francisco paper
to-day, said: 1.-THE statement by Mr..
Waters of the Bay City Wheelmen in the
Chronicle, that the exchange between
Reynaud and Vincent of the Bay
boundary lines, does not correspond to
the statement made by him to me a
short while after it happened, as he said
at that time the exchange was made a
very few feet on the outside of the flag,
and / replied it was immaterial if it was
done within a few feet. But / found after
inquiring of the bystanders, who were
disinterested parties, that the exchange
was made about 100 feet outside of the
boundary.
"The Bay City Wheelmen's man Vincent
was sitting down outside of the boundary
line before the riders came along, and Mr..
Waters, Mr.. Vincent and myself were talk
ing about the placing of the flag 1 stated
to them then that it was convenient to
have watering tank to place the boundary
flag on as it made it very easy to see where
the packet should bepassed.
"Mr. Waters said, Have you got it in
the right place? p and said, ''Y es; exactly
where it should be-
"In reference to my refusing to disqual-
ify the Bay City Wheelmen, l emphati-
cally deny the same, as when the first pro-
test was filed it was by a Garden City
Cycler, and | stated then and there that
| hated to see protest coming from a
Garden City Cycler and had a notion to
disallow the same, but the protest came
from other sources, and was corn PEELED to
take notice of it, and | Immediately found
out from dlsinterested parties and men,
bers from the Reliance, Acme, Imperial
and Olympic Club men that Rose
of the Acme Club yelled a warn
that he was making the exchange outside
of the boundary line and he refused to
rectify the mistake, but kept riding along
thereby getting a flying start and gaining
perhaps thirty seconds on the other rider.
"The protest was telegraphed to George
H. Stratton of the Olympic Club before
the result of the race was announced, and
reported in the telegraph Office
that the Garden City Cyclers were
in the lead. l did not rem
der my decision to any one except
the proper party, George H. Stratton, and
never said to any one 1 would disallow the
protest, but stated l would like to if it
only came from a Garden City Cycler.
In deciding the protest l did not
take any one mans word but that of
eight or ten, and from what could see of
it myself and the statements made by the
different riders. AS the matter now stands
the Bay City Wheelmen must give their
cup up to the Garden City Cyclers or be
expelled from the California Associated
Cycling Clubs"

SAN JOSE, CAL, April 15.-An attempt
was made about II o'clock last night to
fire a house at 906 Locust street, near Oak,
occupied by Joe Gardina and family, who
had moved in but few days ago. En-

damage was done. Had the fire secured
good start the Gardina family would have

night filled with opium, silk and
other contraband goods.
Hoshima's position as assistant
TO Mr.. Fishel gave him plenty of
opportunities for this kind of
work, as it was impossible for Mr..
Fishel to personally count and
examine every item in the various
invoices.
Iwata is supposed to have been
"a gobetween for Hoshima and to
receive money on his account from
the merchants who took the goods.
The statement is also made that
Hoshima did the crooked work
inside and divided with the mer-
chants who handled the goods af-
forwards.
1t is said that this crooked work
has been going on a long while and
that several Japanese have grown
mysteriously rich in very short
time. An instance is mentioned
of one shrewd Jap who was an
employee of a Wholesale liquor
store for one year, when he started
a dry goods store few months
since. He now carries stock of
about $4,000

goods and said that necessarily
much of the work was done by
his assistants, the principal of
whom were Hoshima and William
Alapai.
1t was reported that the latter
was also in trouble, but no charge
had been made against him up to-
2 o'clock.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
Native sailor Killed on steamer Kauai
This Afternoon.

While the i. /. S. n. Co.'S
steamer Kauai was discharging
sugar into the ship Iroquois this
afternoon, a native sailor named
Mahoe was instantly killed in the
steamers hold.
A sling of sugar was being
hoisted when the fall parted, and
Mahoe running underneath was
crushed to death by the slingload.
His back and jaw were broken,
and it is also believed his neck.
Mahoe belongs to Koolau and is
believed to have been unmarried.
He was on the steamer Waialeale
but missed his boat, and came
over on the Kauai this trip. His
death would seem to be due to his
own rashness. Police Captain
Parker came on board the Kauai,
and made arrangements for the
removal of the body to the
morgue.

REMOVE 1T.

Several administrations have
come and been and gone since 6
strong and numerously signed
petition was presented to the Gov.
eminent, asking for the removal
OF the powder magazine from the
place where on either side and
below it many homestead lots had
been bought and built upon.
Since the presentation of that
petition other houses have been
erected in the neighborhood, but
nobody who lives between that
part If Pmchbowl hill and the sea
ever feels quite comfortable, either
IN his down-lying or his uprising,
while the depository Of explosives
looms above their heads in con-
slant menace. An act OF careless
ness, not impossible scrub fire,
or thunderbelt from one Of those
rare but terrific electric storms
that sometimes roll across the
mountains, might ignite the con-
tents of the magazine. Death
and devastation would in such
a case be inevitably spread
over a large area, and the loss in
window glass alone throughout
the town would far exceed the cost
OF removing the magazine before
any such calamity should happen.
Standing where it does the
powder magazine is distinct
deterioration to the value of pro-
perty in its neigborhood, some of
which was acquired by the owners
under the hope that the undesir-
able object would he removed.
Besides the danger Of having such
a thing in residence locality, the
magazine is inconvenient to mer-
chants. owing to the steep grade
leading to it. While the appro-
priation bill is passing through
the Legislature, the Minister of
the Interior ought to have an item
inserted for the removal of the
powder magazine.

After taking possession of the
island of Formosa, prize of the
late war, the Japanese authorities
sent force of $4,000 men to raid
the piratical Chinese tribe of the
Bootans, who had massacred 92
out of l04 Loochooans who were
on their way to Formosa to found
a colony. The japanese expedi-
ton of punishment, which was
under the leadership Of an Amer
lean named General LIE Gendre,
secured the mountains, burning
villages in its course, but could
not overtake the retreated Bootans.
Gone day, however," the account
goes, "a little girl was observed in
the distance and orders were
given to capture her alive.
At first she fought like a
tigress, biting and scratching all
who came within reach, but was
eventually subdued and led in
triumph to the camp. She gave
her name as Molokai, but nothing
more could be elected from the
little savage" 1t will be interest
ing for ethnologists to inquire how,
wherefore and whereby the savage
Bootan maid has the same name
as one of the islands of the Ha-
waiian group.

Facts About a Watch
lFrom n. Y. Commercial Ady.)

Nil'hl ~ L 1puliltltial AuN.J
"a watch balance gives five
vibrations every second, 300 every
minute, $4,000 every hour, $4,000
every day, 157 $4,000 every year.
At each vibration it rotates. about
! times, which makes 1877 100000
revolutions every year. In order
that we may better understand the
stupendous amount of labor per-
formed by these tiny works, let
us make pertinent comparison.
Take for illustration locomotive
with six foot driving wheels. Let
its wheels be run until they have
given the same number of revohH
ton that a watch does in one
year, and they will have covered a
distance equal to twenty-eight
complete circuits of the earth"
What stupendous working
powers your tiny little ma
chine has; and how little at
tention you give 1t until it has
refused to 90 further. Tired
out" The accumulation of old
oil, particles of DIRT, so minute
you can't see it, have so added
to its burdens, that it refuses
to 90 further. Now is the
time to send it to a watch
maker, not until now, for it
will no longer go as it should.
How much better to give it all
the attention it needs while it
yet can 90. Is it no better
than a common lawn mower {?
You give it less attention.
Would you think of running a
mower for a year or two stea-
Oily every day without a little
oil, something to help it over
the rough places. Yet you
are letting your valuable little
time piece wear itself out, sim
ply for want of a little atten-
ton. 1t is our business to
take care of your watch. Only
expert workmen are employed
for that purpose, and what we
do is well-done. All compli-
Gated work finds its way to or
workshop, let us have some of
your easy work also. Don't
get into the habit Of bringing
it to us after it has been
through the hands of numor-
Gus others; it will be cheaper
for you to have it done well in
the first place,

BATTLE or WATERLOO.
Described by the Colonel Command
ing ihc National Guard.

An interesting lecture on the
Battle of Waterloo" was given
by Col. Mclean at the Y. M. Q. A.
hall on Saturday evening. AL
though the hall was not crowded,
there was a fair attendance.
Before beginning, the colonel
explained that he was not lee
turer, and that what he would say
would be more in the nature of a
lite talk than n regular lecture.
After speaking of Napoleon's
great victories, and comparing
the great general with other gem
erals and soldiers, he explained
the movements and positions of the
different armies which led to the
battle at Waterloo. TO make his
remarks more clear, the lecturer
had prepared maps, Oh which he
pointed ,out the routes and posi-
tons of the opposing armies of
the French on one side and the
allied armies of England, Belgium
and Prussia on the other.
The battle was lost, the colonel
showed, not through any fault of
the great general; and the result
might have been different, if one
of his marshals, who had been
following the Prussians, had not
failed to turn up with his army
at the great battle.
During the talk, the speaker
told of an answer Wellington
gave to one of his generals, when
it seemed that the French were
about to win the day. The officer
asked, "What are your orders, in
case you are killed ?" "Stand
here, and fight or die to the last
man !" answered the duke.
Several side remarks made by
the speaker during the talk were
applauded by the audience.
Everyone went away well pleased,
and feeling they had spent
pleasant evening.
