INCREASED ITS BID
Railroad Committee Accedes
tOMcKenna's Contention.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SALE
ment of Portland and
Oregon.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Ex-Governor
Hoadley, counsel for the United States
in the matter of the Union Pacific fore
closure sale, spent several hours today
in conference with Attorney General
McKenna, arranging the details for the
sale on November 1, and the subsequent
transfer of the governments interest in
the property to the highest bidder.
1t is understood from trustworthy
sources that the committee has acceded
to the governments contention that its
lien on the Union Pacific road includes
the Omaha bridge, and that it has in
creased its cash bid so as to make the
entire concession approximately $780,
OOO, 600. This would make Its guaranty
offer for the property, including the
sinking fund, now in the treasury, about
$5O,oOO,OOO.
Treasury officials recognize the fact
that the withdrawal from circulation of
$40, ,000, 900 in cash at one time might
have very serious effect on the money
market, and in consequence are devising
a plan by which the force of the shock
may be reduced to a minimum.

Spaniard, accounting for the Cuban sit
uation. He is quoted as saying that in
Spain there is 40 such thing as public
opinion; that the government of that
country is a mere struggle between
number of professional politicians, and
that with very few exceptions these
politicians endeavor to feather their own
nests. Captain-General Weyler is
credited with having amassed fortune
in the Philippine islands, and he is said
by the Spaniard referred to to have in
creased it in Cuba, although probably he
has had to divide with a good many
politicians at home. The Spanish army
is pronounced to be as rotten as the
Spanish civil service system. and still
when Spanish regiment is sent to at
tack a force of insurgents the Spanish
commander sends an emissary with a
purse, who makes arrangements which
provide that while the Spanish march
one way, the insurgents go away by an
other route.

Shading Marble.

A newly discovered process for treat
ing marble or other similar stones in
order to give them any colored shade,
veins or spots, consists in leaving these
stones in one OF more baths composed
OF a solution of alcohol and one or more
colors of aniline or other coloring ma
terials. The coloring materials are
fixed by leaving the colored stones in
bath of oil or any other fat SUBJ
stance, oil, by applying upon the stones
layers of the same stuff. The absorp-
ton of the organic coloring materials
and of the fat substances by the stone
may be accelerated by heating or boil
ing the bath which contains the stuff
to be treated.

reasons to be cited against the granting,

tional Guard are properly opposed to
having a saloon in the armory building,

the privates would result in a hearty
endorsement of their officers position

There will be many reputable young

PURCHASING FIRE HOSE

The fire commissioners will have an
meeting this morning, when they will
be called upon to decide what make or
makes of fire hose the city council shall
purchase for the use of the fire depart
ment.
Preference is to be given to California
made hose, of course, quality and price
being equal. And right here an interest
ing conundrum pops UP. 1t is alleged
that the Victor Jacket brand of Califor-
mia made hose for which this city is
asked to pay so cents a foot, has been
cents foot. If this is true, it is like the
application that is made of the principle
of protection in this country. American
machinery is sold abroad cheaper than
it is sold at home. If home industry is
to be protected, and it certainly should
be, as far as it deserves, home industry
should reciprocate by selling its products
to home people at least as cheap as it
sells them in other states.
1t was further alleged at the last
meeting of the city council that the same
hose which is offered to this city for SC
cents by an outside firm, the Bay State
has been sold in Kansas City for 81 cents
Here is another matter into which the
fire commissioners will doubtless fine
it advisable to inquire. Is there any valii
reason why Los Angeles should not gel
it's fire hose as cheap as Kansas City o.
any other city?
Some people seem to think that a mu-
nicipality is legitimate plunder; that il
can afford to pay two prices where in
dividuals. and private corporations pay
one. The purchase of public supplies
must be done on ordinary business prin-
ciples Bidders who do not like this rule
can take their wares to another market

REvoLvERs FOR THE POLICE

The police commission at its meeting
yesterday decided to equip the patrol
men with uniform style of revolve,.
The weapon will be a 32-caiber Colt of
an improved pattern, the same that is
used by the police of New York and Chi
cago.
While the city will supply the weap-
ons, the men will be required to deposit
the price of each revolver in use, the
money to be refunded when the weapon
is turned back to the city. Thus the lat
ter will be protected against loss.
The innovation is one that was need
ed, and if the men are properly drilled
in the use of a revolver, distinct advan-
tages must ensue. The mere fact that a
man is a policeman does not make him
an expert shot; and recent investigation
proved that many patrolmen were Ia
mentally deficient in the rudiments of
revolver care and practice. A police
man who understands his weapon will
be more likely to make good use of it
al the proper time, and less likely to
make a bad use of it at any time.

VAN WICK ELECTED

Van Wyck is elected mayor of Greater
New York by very large plurality
above $4,000 at the smallest estimate.
This result will cause no surprise. 1t
was the logical outcome of the election
with the personality of Henry George
taken out. Greater New York is a
Democratic city.
1t is reasonably safe to say that Low
leads Tracy Boss Platt, the regular
Republican organization and the ma
tional administration are discredited.
A remarkable and interesting feature
of the election was the very large vote
cast in the early hours of the day. AL
though a heavy rain was falling, one
third of the total vote was cast in the
first two hours after the polls were
opened, and by noon all but a small
fraction of the registered vote had been
cast. This shows the very great inter-
est that was taken by the voters and the
fine system under which the election
was conducted. The voting must have
been very rapid, considering the number
of tickets in the field.

gestion is made that the university
should found a school of forestry Skilled
foresters, according to Mr.. Kinney, are
badly needed and are not to be found
The university has absorbed the duties
of the old board of forestry and should
have a double interest in this idea. Be-
sides developing craft invaluable to
California, such a school would afford
an opportunity for young men who in
these days of competition may be at a

Upon his bed in painless sleep
He resteth now, he resteth well.
While grateful hearts his memory keep,
And loving lips his praises tell
So we'll he strove for truth and right,
For justice to the toiling one.
That, though his face be lost to sight,
His words shall live till time is done.
No despot, seated on the throne.
But blanched with fear to hear his voice
He bade the wrong be overthrown,
He bade the hopeless one rejoice.
For right he said should win the day,
Though long delayed by selfish greed:
The good time, once so far away.
Since he has lived, is near indeed.
So at the front he bravely fell
Oh, glorious fate! Oh. happy lot!
IT'S well, ye struggling ones. it's well.
For Henry George is not forgot.

AN OFFENSIVE POLICY

position to know the facts. President
Mckinley is giving office to some very
Objectionable colored men in his ostensi-
BILE efforts to prove that the Republican
party is the only friend tho African race
has in the south.
The idea seems to prevail that if objec-
ton is made to a negro appointee the
opposition is solely on account of the
color of the person named This is a
great mistake. On the other hand, to
judge from some of the presidential
appointments, to be negro is of itself
a certificate of good character in the

SEE THEM KICK

The parceling off of the state offices
O coterie of Republican politicians does
not strike a responsive chord all over
the state. Northern California has re-
sponded with two or three candidates for
elected by the slate makers at Los An
geles. The northern part of the state
is saying very little about the senator
ial nomination; from innate modesty-
perhaps. Here in the south there are
several responsive and vigorous kicks
The Pasadena News fired column
broadside, in which it resented having
q slate all written over a year in
advance of the election, for governor,
senator or anything else. 1t positively
refused to recognize the Los Angeles
Times as the bell wether of the Republi-
can flock in Southern California. 1t
also objects to Senator White because
he is a Democrat; but that is another
story.
Now comes the San Diego Tribune
with a mighty roar against the slate
making process. 1t says in long edi-
torial headed, Grant for Senator"
When it is definitely decided that
Southern California really wants a SEN
ator, the momentous question arises as
to the man we shall select to fill this
