TO LOS ANGELES

We now have trustworthy assurances
that the railway from some point on the
Santa Fe line to the Grand Canyon Of the
Colorado is to be constructed at once,
and that wonderful natural attraction
is to be made accessible to all pilgrims
to the Pacific slope inclined to make the
detour of ninety miles.
But, aside from the scenic feature, the
extension Of a railway to the canyon is
of considerable Importance to the devel-
opment Of the mineral resources of that
section. That the country for many
miles in all directions from the point
where the Colorado breaks through the
mountain barriers and debouches upon
the Mojave desert is richly mineralized
has long been known; but it's develop
ment has been retarded by the isolation
of the spot, the hazard in reaching
it, the excessive cost of getting in sup
plies, and the long distance to the ore
markets of the country. All of these OBJ
stacles have deferred capital from going
in to provide the facilities so essential to
successful mining. They will, of course,
be dissipated completely and at once
by the building Of the projected rail-
way. when the camp will be as ad-
vantageously situated as now is Johan-
nesburg and Randsburg, and as natu-
rally tributary to Los Angeles. The
mineral possibilities of the section must
be pretty we'll understood, or capital
struction of ninety miles of road through
a waterless waste, possessing no other
resources and promising no other ton
mage.

The Passenger War

CHICAGO, March 2.-The general pas
senger agents of the western roads were
in session today and after some discussion
announced that they were ready to meet
with the officials of the Canadian Pacific
any time and place agreed upon by Gen
eral Passenger Agents Roberts Of the Erie
and Daniels of the New York Central, who
have conferred with the officers of the
Canadian Pacific, and who say in theii
opinion a conference is desirable. Before
this agreement was reached. however, the
western roads sent out notice to the eff.
feet that they had decided to meet the
rates made by the Canadian Pacific, and
ask all interested roads to participate ir
the reductions made.

THE SITUATION AT PASADENA

The people of Pasadena are just enter
ing upon peculiar political cam
paign, in which national politics ap-
pear to cut no figure. 1t is a
we'll known fact that the Repub
lican party is in a large majority
in that city. AS party it has managed,
or rather mismanaged, the affairs of
that city in the past, and it is attempting
to continue in control along the old lines.
In the past the members of the Re-
publican machine in Pasadena have
worked earnestly effectively and con-
sistently for the benefit of two or three
large corporations, and in the same man
ner have worked against the best inter-
ests of the people of the city at large.
The rank and file of the party are not
with the machine in this work. The
machine men are running matters their
own way, and in the language of the
great New Yorker they seem to act, il
not say, "The public be damned"
The preliminaries of the campaign are
now fairly under way, so far, at least,
as the Republicans are concerned. The
caucuses have been held and candidates
for delegates to the nominating conven-
tion have been named. Last Tuesday
the primary election was held to select
three candidates. There was no oppo-
sition to the regular ticket. A half dozen
votes or less in each precinct would
have elected them. And yet, in the face
of this harmonious cut-and- dried pro-
gram a great surprise was furnished
the people.
1t had been claimed by the managers
of the Republican machine that there
was no slate in this prepared program
no ticket put up for a purpose-no job; ;
Just selection of the best men to hold
a convention. And this convention was
to choose the best men to be found to
fill the various municipal positions.
The opposition, Judging by the past,
thought otherwise and said so. They
claimed that the Electric Railway COM
pany had some little axes to grind and
that the Republican machine proposed
to turn the grindstone; that said COM
pany wanted continued monopoly Of
transportation facilities between that
city and Los Angeles and a continued
monopoly Of the lighting of Pasadena.
This was denied by the machine. How

Naught but popular recognition of the

at the same time subject him to the ridi-

Bigamy~is a crime that is punishable in

EXTENSION OF CALIFORNIA

The latest device of the annexationists,
intended to answer the objection to the
admission of Hawaii as state of the
Union, with equal representation in con-
gress, comprehends the attachment of
the islands to California as county of
this commonwealth! That sop is ex-
pected to Immediately silence all opposi-
ton on this coast, and force Senator
White to capitulate Internationally. For
brilliant craftsmanship, the idea is
scarcely second to the suggestion, made
some time ago, that a new state be Gre
ated by the addition of Arizona to San
Diego county, with the City of Grief for
its capital, commercial metropolis and
maritime entrepot. However. the sug-
gestion prepares us, in way. for Dole's
ultimatum, which may be expected be-
fore long, demanding annexation to
Greater Los Angeles, or at least, a Los
Angeles protectorate.

cal difference in the committee be de-
laycd even to n later day
There is u decidedly strong disposition
Oh the part of many Of the Senators who
are not members of the committee to
have the Senate as a body take up the
subject of shaping the committees re-
port contemporaneously with the com
mittee, and it is not improbable that
secret session of the Senate may be
held tomorrow, with this purpose in
view. The purpose of this movement
is. as has been frequently stated, to Sc
cure as near an approach to harmOy
in the Senate as possible, and it is be-
lievgd that this can be best accomplish
ed by having the Senate agree upon the
form of the resolution before it goes
TO the Senate for action.
The present tendency in the Senate is
to cOnfne the congressional Illumination
to n declaration of armed Intervention,
leaving the recognition of independence
TO come later. and it now appears proba-
BILE that the Foreign Relations Commit
tee will report in favor of this course,
though not without some dissent. If
the meeting of the committee to be
held before the receipts Of the messAe
should develop that such action can he

report in the Senate, then there proba-
bly, would be no occasion for discus

issue Senators as rule, show very
slight inclination for other subjects, and
the chances are that if the Senate does
not adjourn soon after receiuving the

is barely possible that the whole matter
will be deferred until the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee can make its report,
\ resolution scarcely can get through
the Senate without arOusing some dis
cus,son. as there are Senators who are
opposed to any action at all whether for
Intervention or independence. Senator
White, of California, is one of these,
and he probably will discuss any resolu-
ton reported. There are several Sena-
