Officials of the Two Cities Peti. toned for the Grantinq
 of Franchises.
Motor Cars to Make the Run Eact Way on a ThIrty-Five Minute
 Schedule.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Feb 5-Within ninety days Los Angeles and Pasadena and the intervening suburbs are to be connected by two more bonds of steel. Colonel M. Thompson of Chicago, a well-known street railroad builder, to- day filed an application with the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors and with the trustees of South Pasadena and Pasadena, asking for a franchise to construct an electric railroad from the limits of Los Angeles to Pasadena. A double track franchise is petitioned for
 Colonel Thompson acts as the repre- sentative of the Los Angeles Suburban Railway Company, which is prepared to invest $500, 1000 in the enterprise, to commence operations at once and carry them to a conclusion as rapidly as cap ital can do the work
 The construction of this new double track line to Pasadena will be an i'm provement which will tend to build up and develop section of the county which affords some of the most charm ing suburban residence spots in this section of the State. It will materially shorten the mileage between Los An geleS and Pasadena, as over the new
 
 minutes, whereas 55 minutes are now consumed in making the journey by electric railroad
 The new line will commence at Down. ey avenue and Pritchard street in East Los Angeles, and run in a northeasterly direction six and one half miles, It will traverse the Mission road and pass through the Estudillo and Pico tracts of 1000 acres. This will in the future be known as the Tuxedo tract It will be boulevarded and improved in every way to make 1t a spot for handsome suburban residences. The line will proceed down the Monterey road to South Pasadena, thence along Palermo avenue, skirting the Raymond Hotel lands on the west, up Raymond ave- nue into Pasadena, passing Hotel Green to Union street, thence to Fair Oaks avenue, thence to Vineyard street and back to Raymond avenue. This last portion forms a loop for a double track
 The new company has completed and signed an agreement with the Los An geles Railway Company to use it's tracks from Downey avenue and Pritchard street to enter the city of Los Angeles. It also proposes to trans fer to any and every street car line in this city belonging to the Los Angeles Railway Company.
 The new company is amply backed and the improvement which it proposes to make will mark another epoch in the growth and development of Southern California. It will also result in great advantage and benefit to the travelling public.

Showers Fall in Many Sections of the
 State.
Come In Time to Put Dollars Into the Farmers
 Pockets.
Impetus Given to Fruit and Grain by the Downpour From the
 Skies.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, Feb. 1.-The rain which the farmers of this vicinity have been waiting anxiously for these many days began to fall early this evening. A drizzling rain fell all evening. with an occasional spirited downpour. and the indications are favorable to an all-night shower. It will mean many dollars In the pockets of the farmers, who had about begun to despair. All the sown grain had begun to suffer and it is known that a considerable portion of 1t has routed in the ground. One farmer in this vicinity said the other day that he had S11, 900 in the ground and unless rain soon came he would lose every cent of it. He said the seed had routed, but with the rain he could re-sow and thus get some return for his money and labor.
 The farmers in the light soil, how ever, have examined their seed in the ground and find that it has germinated and with rain will do all right. If the moisture had been delayed much longer all the grain would have routed.
 SAN JOSE, Feb. 5.-There is every prospect tonight of a good rainfall. It has been showering at intervals since 6 o'clock, and the sky Is still cloudy. with wind from the north. Up to date neither the grain nor the orchards have suffered, though failure in the former case will be certain unless the rains come soon. The heavy and continued frosts of the past month have been a blessing to the fruit trees, as they have kept back the buds. With an ordinary amount of rain this spring the fruit crop must be large.
 SAN DIEGO, Feb. 5.-Generally speaking, crop prospects in this county O ITO hnf hnf %6n time of the season. In this city the rainfall to date is 3.11 inches. In some | parts of the county it is considerably | more. But, although the total is small, the precipitation has come at the right time to be of most service. There has been a large increase in the area of both barley and wheat, and blowing and seeding are nearly completed. With fair amount of rain well dis tributed during the remainder of the season there will be ample crops. STOCKTON, Feb. 5.-Rain com menced in light fall about noon to- day. and continued most of the time until evening, when a steady downpour set in. Reports from the valley are that the rain was quite general, but nowhere heavy. Lodi had good sup ply. Merced was getting quite a duck ing late in the afternoon.
 E SACRAMENTO, Feb. 5.-Rain began falling here at noon to-day and is still coming down tonight. More than half inch has fallen, and it promises to be a good, heavy storm. In this and adjoining counties grain has been in splendid condition all along, albeit lit tie backward on account of the cold weather in January. Crops in this county and north of here could have withstood two weeks more without rain. but of course will be greatly bene- fited by the moisture. As it is the farmers are all happy. The open weather enabled them to plant every acre they wanted to put in, and with timely spring rains there will be abundant crops.

Rant, to-day. Tt is to be enforced up there for the first time It is no more than right, for if you build a boat in Seattle you must pay for the lumber. v
 Captain Rant has had many years in the service of the Crown. For six teen years in India and four in Zulu land he served in Queen Victorias cav airy, retiring with the rank of Captain, which rank he retains under the laws after a score of years in the saddle. Last fall he was in the special service of the provincial police as a private, and is we'll remembered at Skaguay and Lake Bennett. He has every trait of a gentleman, up to that of being the same under all conditions of rank. Cap tain Rant is accompanied by his son, who is in charge of two dog teams.

FATHER AND SON ON
 THE RETIRED LIST.

 Served Their Country.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Admiral Self ridge, who has just relinquished the com mand of the European station, went upon the retired list of the navy with the close or to-day, having reached the age fixed by law. The event is entirely peculiar in our naval history. in that there will be presented the spectacle of father and son both on the retired list on account of age, after having reached the highest grade in the navy. The father, Thomas o. Self ridge, Is now living in Washington. D. C.. having retired in 1866, after thrty-six and a half years service, and his name now heads the naval retired list. The son. likewise named Thomas o. Selfridge, had forty-five years service to his credit when he retired to-day. He sailed for the United States from France to-day. By his retirement Commodore Francis M. Bunce, commandant of the New York navy yard, will become a rear admiral, and Captain Winfield Schley, the chairman of the Lighthouse Board, becomes commo-- dore. Captain Silas Casey, in command of the League Island navy yard, goes up to the grade of commodore as the result of to-day's retirement and that of Ad- miral Beardslee a few days ago.

 Q recently been adopted by the e Toronto legislature. A strong Q protest has been called out from { q the Washington Government, ( 6 however, by the imposition of a @ heavy fine upon A. D. Malloch e Of Boston, master of the Ameri- e can fishing schooner Carrie E. e Phillips, for a technical violation 2 of the Canadian navigation laws. q The vessel was seized and de-
 q tained five days and its master e was compelled to forfeit $150.

SEATTLE, Feb. 5.-L. c. Branson, a Post-Intelligencer Syndicate corre- spondent, writing from Fort Wrangel, under date of January 29, confirms the reported news that Canada has entered territory which the United States has always claimed as its own, has taken full possession and will attempt to compel Americans not only to pay duty before passing over, but will not permit them, as the United States has done, to take up land without payment to the government of large sums of money. MT. Branson's letter is as fol- lows:
 The Dominion of Canada, through the agent of the provincial government of British Columbia, in one short week will have taken formal possession of the country about Lake Bennett, on the Yukon trail of Dyea and Skaguay Jealous Americans residing In Alaska have ever contended that the upper or south point of Lake Bennett and all of Lake Lindeman are within the Alaskan boundary"
 Only the last mail from Skaguay brought the news that Willis Thorpe, the Alaskan cattleman, had resisted the collection of Canadian duties at Lake Bennett upon the ground that it was American territory. The theory of Thorpe and others is that the boundary line at thirty miles from the coast, to be computed from the actual shore line Of the mainland rather than the outer rim of the islands, would place him still under the stars and stripes"
 But so far as the formality of posses sion goes the British are first on the a nf d. ian Pacific steamer Tees, lying here to-day, Is Captain w. J. Rant, British Columbian gold commissioner, stipend ary magistrate and revenue collector, with headquarters at the south end of Lake Bennett. Captain Rant will deal out the law as a sort of government agent. The mounted police of the neighboring province of Northwest Territory will be subservient to his orders when required. He will issue all licenses and collect the fees, and as he put it, will be ''Pooh-Bah Of the district" Every Yukon-b bound traveller must contribute either directly or in directly to the provincial government through Captain Rant No man shall cut a tree to build his boat without first procuring a hand-logger license, which scrap of paper costs $10. \
 Hundreds of Americans who have at tempted to cross the disputed territory are lIQlEHiIil St NIlAI IIlSy cOl4SlQeF Inc outrageous and hi3h-handed proceed ings of the Canadian officials. and ex- pect to see the matter taken up imme- diately for adjustment by the United States. Many prospectors have refused to pay duty and have returned to Dyea
 The timber Of Lake Bennett has been granted to private parties under a lease The wholesale cutting Of trees for sawinills will be stopped at once, or round stumpage charge exacted Captain Rant has so notified Markus &s Randolph, who operated a sawmill at the southwestern arm of the lake last season. When the lumber Is cut by hand one or more boats may be built by the same individuals on single H. cense. This restriction does not end with Lake Bennett, but boat builders after crossing the Northwest Territory line must deal with the officers at Lake Tagish.
 This is not a new law" said Cartain
