Barred From Central Park

The police have determined to clear
Sixth-street park of the curbstons
preachers, political agitators and other
obstructionists, who hold forth in that
vicinity and destroy the peace and
quiet of the neighborhood. Many com
plants have been made against this
nuisance, and a few days ago a numer-
ously signed petition was received by
Chief Glass asking him to take steps
TO abate the annoyance. AS a result
it has been determined to prohibit any
further preaching, haranguing or sing
ing in or about the park.
In their message to the chief the pc
titioners state that the value of prop
erty in the vicinity of the park IS great
ly decreased on account of the noise
(which these agitators make and the Of
I1ensive crowd of people who gather
around to take part in the performances
The following order was yesterday
issued to police sergeants: You will in
structVour officers to absolutely prohibit
addresses of any character, singing, etc.
in or about Central park at any time.

THE ALBION ARRIVES
Is NOW AT SAN PEDRO READY
FOR INITIAL TRIP
Merchants to Send Representative
With View to Opening Up
New Fields of Trade

The steamer Albion arrived at the
Terminal railway wharf at o'clock yes
terday morning. She is about 400 tons
burden, but is big enough in importance
to merchants and all who are interested
in Southern California and Los Angeles,
for she forms the initial step in getting
for this city an immense trade Of the
west coast of Mexico that has up to
this time, without protest, gone to San
Francisco or European ports.
The Albion, mainly through the efforts
Of the Terminal road, has been secured
to carry freight between this city and all
ports on the west coast of Mexico as far
south as San Benito. She is now at San
Pedro for the first trip, having been put
in good condition for the journey. 1t is
expected that number of business men
of this city will accompany the ship
ments that will be made, and will study
the best methods of extending the trade
which should exist.
Up to this time the Terminal company
has done the major part of the work, but
now the time has arrived for the mer-
chants of this city to avail themselves
Of this opportunity. The articles which
it will pay to export are said to be hard
ware, groceries, clocks, manufactured
goods, supplies and goods of kindred
nature.
The vessel belongs to the Lower Cali
fornia Development company and is
commanded by Captain Milton Thwing,
who is now in the city, and will give
those who so desire all Information they
may wish about the requirements of the
trade. The steamer will be operated in
connection with the Terminal road, at
whose wharf she now lies.
The Merchants and Manufacturers'
association will continue to push the
matter and urge aggressive action. 1t
would seem to be an opportunity whose
neglect would be fatal to the best inter-
ests of the city. The trade to be had is
said to be large and most profitable, and
has not been brought to this city hereto
fore because in some way 1t has been
overlooked. General Manager Hynes Of
the Terminal has been indefatigable in
working the enterprise up and will con-
tinue to do all that his company can to
advance its prospects.
In communication received by the
Merchants and Manufacturers associa-
ton 1t is informed that the labor unions
are all strongly in favor of the home
products battle and their members
stand ready to render any assistance in
their power, either as individuals or col
lectively.
The Council Of Labor calls attention in
its communication to the fact that cl-
CARS of local manufacture are not as lib
orally patronized as they should be, and
asks that the gentlemen Of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
do not forget this fact and act accord
ingly.
