Los ANGELES, CAL. March 2-Dry-
6en's declaration that "men are but chill
dren of larger growth" was forcibly ex-
emplitfed hereto-day when the news came
from Washington that San Pedro had
been selected as the site for the deep
water harbor as against Huntingtcn's s
private harbor scheme at Santa Monica.
Grave, sedate bankers, capitalists, whole
sale and retail business men soon quit
their respective counting houses and went
forth in search of friends with whom they
could exchange greetings and congratu-
1ations. Hands were clasped in rapture,
and many masculine hugging matches
were witnessed on the public streets. The
infection spread rapidly from mouth to
mouth, and then there was general re-
joicins all through the business portion of
the town. Several steam whistles pro-
claimed the glad tidings. while an inn
promutu procession was soon formed and,
headed by several of the leading business
men, marched through the principal
streets accompanied by band and car
rying banners, flags and several live roos-
ters.
'San Peoro gets the harbor," on huge
g banner, told the cause of al this commo-
tion and public rejoicing. Similar demon
STATIONS were witnessed in all the towns
around this city, with one exception
Santa Monica. The public demonstration
here in honor of this noteworthy event
will be further emphasized later in the
week by an excursion to San Pedro, under
the auspices of the three commercial
bodies Of this city, and a banquet.
1t would be difficult To exaggerate the
Importance of this decision to Los Angeles
and TO Southern California. The expendi-
ture of So. 100000, mostly for labor, is of
itself great thing, but that is the least
important feature. The location of the
;harbor at San Pedro renders certain the
immediate construction of third trans
continental railroad TO Salt Lake City
through some of the richest sections,
precious metals and coal fields OF the coun-
try. besides shortening the route to the
East about 300 miles. Then the construc-
tion of.the harbor insures the supremacy
Of Los Angeles as the commercial metro
polls of the Southwest; as great entire pot
on the line of shortest communication and
by the easiest grades between the ORIENT
and the Occidental. When that other
great enterprise-the Nicaragua canal
shall be completed Los Angeles and the
southern country will be in position to
take advantage of the benefits that will
accrue therefrom.
The location of the Government deep
watersharbor at San Pedro marks the be-
ginning of new and marvellous era for
Los Angeles and Southern California. 1t
is rot too much to predict that when the
census of 1900 shall be taken this city will
have population of zoo, 900.

tions generally as to winds, waves and cur
rents and their drift action are more
favorable at Port Los Angeles than at San
Pedro, and that breakwater at San Pedro
would cost more to build and maintain
than one at Port Los Angeles.
That the holding ground for anchorage
at Port Los Angeles is at least equal 10
that at San Pedro. and that wharves can
be much more conveniently built and
maintained.
That the land approaches by rail at Port
Los Angeles are much superior and much
more free from distractions to entrance.
That during three years past the great
pier at Port Los Angeles has been in con-
tinuaI and general safe use by large ships.
That the successful operation of this
pier;for SO long time in an unprotected
seaway establishes the superiority of this
location. and that it will be generally ac-
knowledged without argument that it
would have been impossible to operate one
at San Pedro without breakwster.
That the location at Port Los Angeles
has advantages over San Pedro in respect
to the regular coastwise passenger and
freight traffic where time is of any impor-
tance.
That even if a breakwater were built at
San Pedro the advantages and present
commercial facilities of Fort Los Angeles
would still command the ocean business.
That the suitability of detached break
water under the conditions existing at
: Port Los Angeles is proven by experience
in this country and other countries where
a large number of such works have been
built and maintained for commercial pur-
poses.
On the side of San Pedro H. Hawgood
was the principal witness. He stated that
permanent. deep water docks could be
constructed at San Pedro at a cost no
greater than OF the perishable wharves
needed at Santa Monica; that the former
place was. far more accessible for railroads;
that there was en- abundance of suitable
land about the harbor; that the bottom
was better fer all purposes; that the har-
Dor was more sheltered and that there was
less fog.

LONDON, ENG. March 2,-The parlia-
mentary committee appointed to inquire
into the Jameson raid into the Transvaal
resumed its sittings to-day and the cross
examination of Cecil Rhodes, formerly
Premier of Cape Colony, by Labouchere,
was resumed.
Mr.. Rhodes said when he said that the
next time the Uitanders would try to OBJ
tain their liberty legitimately he meant
legally.
Mr.. Labouchere-If the raid had sue.
ceeded would the value of the shares OF
the Chartered Company have been in
creased?
=. Mr.. Rhodes-No, that was certainly not
among the objects promoting revolution.
Mr.. Labouchere then proceeded to ex-
anime the witness in regard to his finan-
cial relations with the Chartered Com
.pany, when Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
Chancellor OF the Exchequer, objected to
questions that affected the admin stration
OF the Chartered Company, which he con-
ceived to be the second part OF the inquiry.

Supposed to be Lost.

The schooner Templeton, which
plies between Point lisa bel and Rock
port in the fish trade, is supposed TO
have been lost in the blow of last
Friday morning. The Templeton
left Point Isabel on Thursday after
noon, June 3rd. with a cargo Of fish
for her home. Rockport. On the
morning of June 18th. Thursday,
heavy blow came up, at which time
the schooner must have been about
fifty or sixty miles up the coast in
the gulf, and, from what the captain
of the schooner Lake Austin says,
who was en- route to Brazos with
lumber, putting into Arkansas harbor
before the blow came up, the squal
outside must have been very severe.
He says that after putting into har-
Dor the wind was SO strong that his
boat dragged, notwithstanding he
had two anchors cast.
Several kilograms have been re-
ceived here from Rockport from the
owners of the Templeton asking
about her, but nothing has been
heard OF the boat or crew since her
departure from Point Isabel on last
Thursday, and it is the general opin-
ion cmong all that she went to
pieces in the blow Of Friday morn
ing. Her crew consisted of captain
and two sailors, all of Rockport.
