The New York society correspondent OF

ing migrations. THE CALL, stepping for
ward and lifting its hat. is charmed that
it so opportunely overheard this brow
wrinkling exchange of conundrums. 1t
affords US infinite pleasure to be of SER
vice to les messieurs and les mesdamss of
the unfortunate East, which lacks SO sadly
in furnishing means for their enjoy
ment and comfort.
While ice floats in large chunks upon its
rivers and snow covers it's hills and chokes
its valleys. and all the air is laden with
cold and sleet and rayaging winds; while
its towns are being either blown into the
air by cyclones or sunk beneath the water
from overfiowing rivers; while everything
in nature is at war around and about
it, and the lives OF its inhabitants are i'm
periled By possible disasters and made
miserable by present afflietions-while all
these handicaps TO hospitality are pre-
venting the East from, affording suit
able pleasure to pleasure-loying people,
The CALL steps forward to offer California,
the peerless, the ideal haven when all
other localities fail, as a stage for the peo
pie of the East to come and tread for en-
joyment.
Here are all the natural blessings In the
world. They have been gone over in de-
tail sufficiently often to preclude any need
for repetition here. Suffice it to say that
the coming Christian Endeavor eIcur-

opportunity to come to the Golden State
and revel in the riches which only the
Golden State can show.

PREPARING THE GROUND.

Grading Begun for the New Electric
Power House In the Park.
The fine spring weathsr drew crowds to
the park and ocean beach yesterday. The
cyclists in gay costumes were ont in large
nun pers, and the vehicles of ali kinds
were flying so thick and fast on all the
main driveways as to present an unusually
lively spectacle. A superb six-in-hand
team of blacks dashing through the
crowd made an attractive sight, both from
the beauty of the spirited horses and the
skill of the driver.
Grading will begin this morning for the
fine new power house which the Park
Commissioners are going to erect to sup
ply the grounds with electric light. II
will be situated near the water works
plant.
At the Park Museum the fine collection

IN THE SENATE.

The political interest of the country
| this week will be centered in the Senate,
and the people will be very much disap-
pointed If some active steps are not taken
there to make progress in dealing with
| the tariff bill. The situation in the Senate
| is known TO be complicated, but it is not
too much to expect that in matter OF
| such importance as the new tariff some
| agreement can be reached among the
wiser and more patriotic members by
! which action on that measure may be
| expedited.
There has been trouble all along over
the organization of the Senate committees-
The Democrats have claimed that the
com mittees shall be composed of mem hers
OF the various parties in he snme ratio as
in the last session. They have further
claimed that silver Republicans shall be
counted as regular Republicans in assign
ing to that party its proportional repre-
sentation on each committee. To this
there has been some objection on the
Republican side and as consequence Q
deadlock prevails.
Last week the Republicans appointed a
com mittee on committees to deal with the
subject. This was the first step toward
the solution OF the deadlock. The next
and final steps will probably be soon
taken. Most of the silver Republicans are
known to be favorable to the tariff. They
are as stanch protectionists as Mckinley
himself, and on that issue can be counted
on to act with the party and the adm MIS-
tration. Moreover, leading Democrats
have asserted they would make no merely
obstructive fight against the bill. The
outlook therefore for some action on the
measure this week is good. We may
expect the Finance Committee to 60 far
toward getting the bill ready to report at
| an early date.
One reason why we may with confidence
expect prompt work on the measure is
| that it is an old and much discussed ques-
tion with which most of the leaders of the
Senate are thoroughly familiar. They
have been discussing tariff rates and
SEIZED ules for the last ten years. They
have taken part in framing the Mckinley
tariff and the Wilson tariff. They are
| we'll posted on the need of our industries
and on the best means of raising the
| revenue required for the Government. In
| addition TO this the Republican leaders
were undoubtedly consulted to some ex-
tent in making the Dingley tariff. 1t is
clear therefore that they ought TO be able
to act upon it without any great delay at
| this time.
The House of Representatives showed
its recognition OF the Importance OF
! speedy action by enaeting that the bill
should go into effect on April 1. This
example will not be lost on the Senate.
AS Dalzell said in the House. "Oratory
will not open single mill nor kindle a
single furnace fire." Action is what is
! wanted.

THE POWERS AND GREECE.

Constau utinople has about S75 900 inhab-
itants, of whom 155, 900 are Greeks and 150,-
600 Armenians, and less than 400 600 Mos
lens. If the Greeks and Armenians should
revolt it would make matters lively for the
Porte, and might cause 1t to recall some regi-
ments from the Thessalian frontier.-New
York Tribune.

Greece is to triumph in starving the Cretans
by biockading their ports against ships carry

Nobody has ever supposed that the Russian
championship of peace had any other present
reason than that the Russian opportunity did
not appear quite ripe. 1t is easily conceiy-
able that the diplomatic complications of the
past few weeks have changed the situation
sufiicie ntly to make postponement no longer
necessary. II Russia can SO maneuver as to
be LETT the sole guardian Of the peace of Eu-
rope 1t will give her great advantage in under
taking the pacifcation OF the Turkish empire
on her own account in the way so long desired

Fresh reports of distur Dances in the Euro
pean concert continue to come. 1t seems to be

and they have served notice to that effect.
Stirred by the recent letter of Mr.. Gladstone,
which has all the dignity and vigor of the old
prophets, and fearing the rapid growth of
popular sentiment among the people against

Britain will not join in the blockade of Greece.
In consequence of this refusal Germany has
given notice of its intentions also TO withdraw

not produce enough eggs for home con-

According to the statements of Mr.
Cushman, while a few thousand dozens OF
eggs are exported annually millions of
dozens are imported. During the past
three years about 81, 900 900 worth of for.
eign eggs have been brought into this
country. These eggs come from Canada,
China, Japan and Mexico. Europe has
Zone to sell. Her supply is not equal to
her demand. England and Germany do
not produce go per cent of the eggs they
consume, and the consumption would be
greater if the supply permitted it.
1t is noted that the industry in thi.
country is growing rapidly. In 1880 there
were 126. 100000 fowls kept. In 1890 these
had increased to 2s6, 900 900. In 1896 it is
estimated there were 3S3, 600 OOO Most OF
these were common stock, and not so
profitable as the finer breeds. An i'm
provement of the stock, however, is stead
lily going on. Our farmers are beginning
to understand the profits of the industry
and the advantage of good breeds.
California ought to be one of the lead
ing States OF the Union in this industry
and have eggs to sell. but unfortunately
it does not produce enough for its own
consumption. Perhaps we shall improve
in this respect along with the rest of the
Union. There is certainly room for it.
In this connection it is worth noting the
Dingley tariff puts protective duty OF 5
cents dozen on irnported eggs. That
will serve to aid the American farmer in
competing with Mexico, China and Japan.
The chances, therefore, for developing the
industry may be considered good, and
there is hardly any kind of ranch in Cali
fornia where it could not be undertaken
with advantage to a greater or less extent.
