''The results from the money already ex-
pended at San Pedro is a splendid monu-
ment to the skill Of the corps Of army en-
gineers. When that work was begun some
fifteen years ago only two feet of water In
depth was all there was, and today vessels
drawing eighteen feet or more are passing
in and out. The army engineers may well
feel proud Of this achievement. San Pedro
is port known to mariners throughout
the world and famed for its refuge and
safety without the Improvement.
1.-THE speech Of the Junior senator from
California, Mr.. Perkins, sets at rest the
question OF its superiority and needs only
to be read again to convince any one Of its
benefits, and right here let me say that the
people Of California owe debt of gratitue
to Senator Perkins for his manly and able
advocacy Of the peoples interest in this
respect.
Senator Perkins, himself the president
Of q great steamship line and most famil-
lar with the coastwise commerce Of the
Pacific. is the most convincing proof pos
sible for the needed harbor at San Pedro
1t is not disparaging to any other Of the
California delegation to say that Senator
Perkins fearless utterances at all stages
Of this contest have been a tower OF
strength to the interests Of his people"

At THE THEATER
/ observation-disclosures

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-Fromt the
Gallo degeneracy Of an Anna Held, with
her palpitating bosoms and ogling glances,
to contemplation Of the stern realism of
farmer life on the rock-ribbed coast of
Maine is long step to make In twenty
four hours. And yet there was an audience
present last night to see "Shore Acres" that
was very nearly as large as that gathered
on the opening night of the little "star of
Paris" whose twinkling was of the farth-
ing candle order.
James A. Herne brought "Shore Acres
here just a year ago, and at that time the
play Mr.. Herne. as author and actor. and
the company generally were received with
acclaim and awarded unstinted praise.
The presentation of the piece at this en-
gagement is characterized by the usual at
tention to matters of detail, and it was
again welcomed by the audience with SIM
liar expressions of approval, amounting to
enthusiasm at the close Of the second and
third acts.
The cast is, in all important respects, the
same as that of last year. with the ex-
ception that Lucy Morrow, who played the
part of Martin Berry's daughter, is no
longer a member of the company. Her
place is now filled partly by Julie A. Herne,
who is Mr.. Herne's daughter, and who
plays the character twice during this en-
gagement. The other representative Of the
character is Marian Cullen, who will ap-
pear in 1t tonight and also tomorrow even
ing. Miss Herne is evidently very young,
and quite as evidently has been trained by
her father, whose methods are observable
in every detail of her performance. The
results Of this training will appear to bet
ter advantage in course of time, the young
actress being well intentioned and having
capacity for understanding the require
ments of the part. With added experience,
her ability will grow and her power of i'm
pressing an audience favorably will in
crease.
The familiar characters were as delight
full as ever, and the piece. with its rugged
simplicity, its homely pathos and its moral
lesson, was listened to with evident de-
light. The only point that Mr.. Herne loses,
where success would be tremendous, is IL,
the absence of a real baby for the final act.
1t seems little singular that this very
necessary piece of realism should be
neglected in a play where everything else
is studied SO carefully, from the real roast
turkey and trimmings to the other realistic
details Of domestic life and manners--in
Maine.
"Shore Acres will fll out the remainder
of the week, including matinee on satur-
day.

AZ that 10 Senator Whites opinion regard
ing the shameless action Of Senator Stew.
art In the senate yesterday. In trying to gel
an amendment to the bill carrying the har.
Dor appropriation, dividing It between sar
Pedro and Santa Monica. the friends oi
the free harbor may rest easy.
It seems that Senator Stewart resorted
to a prerogative that belongs to every SEN
ator when he offered the amendment, but
Senator White is absolutely certain Of the
happy outcome Of the issue.
He was seen last night as he was leaving
for Washington and dictated the follow
ing statement:
1.-THE action of Senator Stewart will be nc
more effective than was his effort to de-
feat the resolution which I offered in the
senate instructing Mr.. Alger to proceed
with the work. There were not enough
senators Of Stewards way Of thinking to
procure roll call. The proposition made
by him Is absurd. If any use Is to be made
Of the difference between the limit pre-
scribed by the river and harbor bill for the
San Pedro harbor and the sum total Of the
accepted bill, 1t is plain that the sum SC
made available should be devoted to the
inner harbor.
mo amount Of rascality, however d.
rected. can procure annulment by the SEN
ate Of the work of the Walker board, and
no partnership association with Mr.. Hunt
ingtop will be indulged in.
ANY senator has right to offer amend
ments. and the appropriate committee has
a right to sit down on such amendments
and the senate Is under no obligation tc
pay any attention to such a proposition
In other words, Senator Stewart has a
right. and nothing more, to try to do some
thing for Mr.. Huntington.
II might add that the sundry civil bill
which contains the San Pedro appropria-
tion. has not yet been reported, and II
there is any fort to interfere with our
sacred item, nothing will be done until ]
am. present. / feel confident that nothing
will be done to impair the appropriation
made by the house.
Il am thoroughly advised as to the status
Of the subject, and 1t is useless for our
Southern Pacific friends to combat fate"
