A ROAR AT THE COMMISSION.

~ MAN "a SCM
To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her
aid: 1t seems to me that the commission
for the changing of street names is
usurping a great deal of power that does
not properly belong to it. / object most
strenuously to the wholesale, indiscrim-
mate, high-handed manner in which the
names of streets have been changed
without consulting the wishes of the
residents of said streets. To particular
iZe: At the commissions session on
Tuesday the name of Peru street was
changed to Griffith avenue, which is a
new street in the ward, in a new tract,
that has recently been opened up and
put On the market, and does not join the
end of Peru street by nearly block, and
which has not a half-doZen houses on
the whole avenue. The Peru Street I'M
provement association has under con-
sderation the advsability and desira-
biity of changing the name of the street,
and if it should decide that the name
ought to be changed, the property
they should be consulted as to what that
name should be. There are other reas-
ons why l demur to the action of the
commission. improvements involving a
considerable outlay of money on Peru
street are being considered, and as resi-
dents and taxpayers of the street, we
object to the adding of blocks of unim-
proved land to the street, to be held
above us, as a whip, by speculators.

There were 2S5 patients in the infrmary

by the owners for the reception of pa

Key West, Fla, Feb 2l.-Rumors have

While it revealed no actual traces of foul

1t is reported that he and the Spanish

Consul General Lee than cabled Secre-

the presence of American warships. If
not, then he would resign.

NEW YORK's CABINET MEMBER.
j. j. McCooIx Likely to Be Secretary
of the Interior.


of the Interior.
Canton, o., Feb. 21.-Gov. william o.
Bradley of Kentucky and Bishop Walden
of Cincinnati were the only callers upon
the President-elect to-day. Gov. Brad
ley arrived early this morning, and took
dinner with the President-elect. He left
for Cleveland in the middle of the after
noon to have a talk with Mark Hanna,
and was accompanied by Col. Myron T.
Herrick.
Mr.. Hanna is expected here on Tues
day, and there will be several other prom
inent visitors in Canton this week. Col.
]. ]. McCook of New York will probably
be one of them. and if he comes he is
likely to be offered a cabinet portfolio.
His appointment has not yet been decid-
ed upon, but the chances are that he will
be the New York man in Maj. Mckinley 8
cabinet. Mr.. McCook will not be Attor-
ney General. The belief here tonight is
that he will be given an opportunity to
accept the portfolio of the interior depart
ment. This arrangement seems extreme
ly probable, when 1t is recalled that a
good lawyer is required for the depart
ment of the interior.
John A. Gary of Baltimore is not a law
yer and he will be postmaster general, as
there is no disposition to shift ex-Gov.
Long of Massachusetts from the navy de-
partment. As a result of this arrange
ment, Judge Joseph McKenna of Califor-
MIA will probably be the attorney general.
Maj. Mckinley did not attend church to-
day and was not feeling quite as well as
usual, though it must not be supposed he
is in danger of a collapse.
