Full Text of the San Pedro Harbor
Matter.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Secretary AL
ger has made pubic the full text of the
oprlon OF tine attorney general relative
to the Improvement of San Pedro har-
Der IN California. The document bears
date CT Aug. g. The attorney general
states that the question presented to
him by the war department was wheth-
er " would be justified in advertising
for the whole work, making a depth in
the harbor of 25 fest instead of so feet.
which, in the opinion OF the secretary,
would be ample for the present com
merce os the Pacific centering there
and also for an inner flarbor (harbor of
c0n1merce) of say half the dimensions
named in the original plan. The secre-
tary had expressed doubt of his duty
in the matter, as we'll of the sufficiency
of tfe appropriation to provide flar-
Dor, both of commerce and refuge, al
though they had suggested that private
means might be used in CARRYING out
the dcg,iole project
Attorney General McKenna quoted
the a1agraph of the appropriation act
relative to the deep water harbOr and
prefacing his remarks with the state
merit that the saere.arys inquiry
should he answered in the NEGATIVE,
proceeds to congtrue his powers under
the law. He says that the board was TO
determine the location of the harbor
and also the plans of Enforcement,
which were large powers. He says
further:
THE OPINION.
"There is limitation of the amount
to be expended-in all else the judgment
of the board is free. They decide be-
tween the places and the contracts of
the secretary of war are to be according
to the project reported by them. The
decision of the board is final as to loca-
ton and it shall be their full duty to
make plans, Specifications and eStirn-
ates for said improvements and upon
their report the secretary of war may
make cantracts for the completion OF
the Improvement, according to the pro-
ject reported by them. The law itself
besides, indicates the project. Both the
places mentioned are open road leads,
Tin both. therefore a. breakwater is
fneccesary to make protected water a
water Of refuge and this may be a
harbor of commerce as we'll. Obviously
$50, at Port Los Angeles, as we shall see.
l do not think that the quays
or pier, or wharf or the excavation OF
the docks formed by them are a part OF
the project. They are the means by
which private enterprise may avail it
self of the project. Some piers were al
ready so erected at Port Los Angeles
They were the property of the Southern
Pacific company and were to remain
SO. From a careful consideration Of the
report of the board, am of the opinion
that the project reported by them is q
breakwater, and that it fulfills the pro-
vision of tine law and VIII make within
its meaning a harbor for commerce
and of refuge"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

New York Press: The first duty of

by her forever.
A girl never visits another one but she
comes home with a new way to fix up
her hair.
When a girl is, in love with a man she
will never believe that he isn't dis
tlnguished looking.
Eve would probably have been awfuliy
unhappy all tine rest of her life if she had

consider the question of the proposed

have lost large number of inhabi-

OF the water of the river for irrigation
purposes on land in the United States
which has greatly reduced the volume
of water. In order TO remedy as far as
possible these evils, great interna-

negotiations opened at Washington by
our minister. 1t is to be hoped that the
government of the United States, over

to the palace and stripped, but no
weapon was found on his person. He
was taken away to the city hall, Sc
curely bound and placed in solitary
confinement, after being questioned by
officers. His name is Ignacia Anulfo,
who has of late been employed in a
notary's office as a clerk, and is said
by the chief of police to have a record
as a man of violent habits. given to
drink and quarrels. Various stories
are told regarding his design on the
president, one theory being that he was
armed with a dagger, as many of the
police believe, but if SO he must have
thrown it away as no weapon was
found on him. 1t seems almost certain
that he intended harm, for at the mo-
ment OF dealing the blow he used OPP
probious terms and seemed most ma
niacal.

by President Vickery. George Somers
made a short speech in eulogy of the
place and the associations. Commits
sioner Carleton was then INTRODUCED
and read a forcible argument for the
present registration bill.
At the close something of a sensation
was sprung in a speech, very witty and
sarcastic, made by Lawyer f. S. Dick
son of Philadelphia. Pa, who owns an
island in Rangeley lake and is strongly
opposed to the bill. His talk seemed
to find much favor with the guides,
who from the first have disliked the
bill
He was answered by Colonel Earring

pleasant manner. explained the rights
of the State over its citizens.
Commissioner Carleton also referred

declaration upon the matter since it

clared unqualifiedly in favor of the bill
and advised the guides to regard ana

law of the State.
Guide James Mathieson finished the
discussion on the subject by mention

that one commissioner had called

but there was sunshine from the time
the Queen emerged from the palace gates
The sky was cloudless and the weather
was just warm enough to be pleasant.
There were no empty seats along the
route followed by the procession, but the
spectators sold the 10-guinea seats for
one guinea and in many cases SPECTATORS
gave their seats away Evidently the
crowd was NOT so large as expected. Many
people were frightened away by the sto-
res told of possible accidents, the danger
of fire, etc. and by the startling STORIES
of the prices which would be charged to
enable people TO reach their seats. But
as matter of fact there was no serious
difficulty in reaching the spots selected
from which to view the procession, al
though the majority of the seatholders
had 10 leave their homes before o'clock
this morning.

special envoy. when questioned on the
subject of the jubilee. said: Etiquette
forbids me from discussing the jubilee
ceremonials, but you may say that it was

AT the lord chamberlains office, this
afternoon, a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press was informed that on her
return TO buckingham palace after the
procession, the Queen and all the royal
family expressed the greatest delight and
satisfaction AT the fact that everything
had passed so successfully.
There were many expressions of salts
faction that the carriage of the United
States special envoy, Mr.. Whitelaw Reid.
had been SO warmly received. This was
considered to be largely due to President
Mckiney's cordial letter congratulating
Her Majesty upon the Goth anniversary of
her accession to the throne. Every in
tention to honor the United States special
envoy has been displayed For this rea-
sor. Mr. Reid took the Princess Victoria
