CALIFORNIA OPINION
The Local Harbor COMPANY

That irrepressible hustler, ]. r. New
berry, is exploiting a scheme to con-
struct the San Pedro breakwater at a
figure within the appropriation mad.
by congress. He proposes to organize a
local company to do the work. to be cap
italized at 100000. and the enterprising
Jack starts the list with $4,000. Mr.. New
berry hopes to secure as manager Of the
concern Arthur Mcmillan, the noted en-
gineer, who completed the immense wa
ter works for Greater New York. River
sides contributions to the list Of Los
Angeles business men seem to set the
pace in enterprise for that enterprising

TELEGRAPH LINE TO NEW YORK.
With the System Which
May Ee AdODtel.


A report has been received by the Post
Office Department from Lieutenant George
Squire and Prof Albert c. Crehore ON their
rec ent experiments with their syrchronoma-
graph system of rapidly transmitting in
telligerce by the alternating current upon
the liz es of the British postal system, for
which they recently went to England.
They say that w. II. Preece, the engi-
Eeer-in-chief of the British telegraphs,
gave them every facility, placing his as
sistants, work shops and other things at
their disposal. The apparatus was set up
in the general Office of London. On Au-
gust messages were sent over copper
and iron wire from London via Leeds to
Glasgow, to Edinburgh, AMI return via
Newcastle. Tyne and York to London. The
distance was S64 miles, forty-four of which
were underground. 1t was found that
slightly under 1900 words a minute could
be sent and the speed might have been
increased. About $50 complete waves Of
the alternating current were employed, or
800 single impulses of current. The pres
ent experiments are being conducted with
the synchronomagraph transmitter upon
the regular Wheatstone receiver in use on
the British telegraph service.
The Postmaster General replied to their
letter yesterday, extending his congratu-
lations on the success which attended their
experiments, and advised them that he
them. At the last session of Congress
Senator Pettigrew introduced bill au
thorizing The Postmaster General to ac-
quire possession of this system of tele-
graphing, if it should prove a success. and
to put up :; line between New York and
bill appropriates million dollars for this
purpose.

The Treasury Department has received
information that an anarchist named
Joseph Ventre some time ago was expelled
from Spain. and that he had arrived at
Tampico. Mexico. on his way to the United
States. 1t is also stated that Ventre re-
ceived assistance from parties in Mexico in
his efforts to reach this country, and that
passage had been engaged for him on the
City of Washington. The captain OF the
vessel. however, refused to receive him,
and 1t is expected that he will now make an
effort TO cross the border, either at some
point i'll New Mexico or Texas. Customs
officials have been notified to be on the
alert. and. If found, Ventre will be deported
as an assisted immigrant.

RETURN OF THE PHILADELPHIA.
The Bennington VIII Represcnt the
United States mt Honolulu.

The Philadelphia, flagship Of the Pacific
station, now at Honolulu, is to come home
as soon as the necessary orders can reach
her. This will leave the Bennington as the
sole representative of the United States
navy at Honolulu until the Baltimore
reaches that port. It has been found nee
essary TO adopt this course in order to get
the crew to man the Baltimore, which now
lies at Mare Island navy yard almost ready
for sea. With the men secured from the
Philadelphia by re-enlistment, it will be
possible to man the Baltimore and send
her back a. once to the Hawaiian Islands
At one time it was believed it would be
necessary to send the battle ship Oregon
out for this purpose, but that plan was
abandoned AS the Japanese cruiser Mani
wa has left Honolulu for Japan, 1t Is be-
Heved that no interests are jeopardized by
leaving only the Bennington there.
