GREATER LOS ANGELES.
Suit to Declare Void the Annexa-
ton of the University District.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. pa suit was
filed here to-day by the People of the
State of California, through Tirey -
Ford, Attorney General, on the rela-
ton of J. w. Skeleton, against the city
of Los Angeles, asking that the recent
election by which the district known as
University was annexed to the city be
declared invalid and illegal. The
grounds upon which complaint is made
are many, but the chief one is that the
returns of the election were improperly
canvassed by the City Council.
The fact that this suit has been
brought may hinder the sale of the
bonds recently voted for water works
and school purposes. Should the suit
be decided for the plaintiffs the cleo
tions at which these bonds were voted
would be invalid. They were held after
the election by which University was
annexed and the voters in the annexed
district were allowed to vote at the
bond elections.

WILLIAM J. BRYAN.
Passing Through Nevada on His
Trip to California.

WINNEMUCCA (Nev) Aug. %
Hon. William Jennings Bryan passed
through Winnemucca this afternoon on
his way to California, where he Will
visit the Yosemite Valley. He will re-
main a week in the valley.
Mr.. Bryan was met at Golconda.
fifteen miles east of here, by Hon.
George S. Nixon and a representative
of the Associated Press.
At Winnemucca the train stopped to
enable Mr.. Bryan to deliver an address
to the large crowd that had gathered.
Mr.. Bryan strongly condemned the pol
icy of expansion as proposed by the
present Administration.
In part Mr. Bryan said: Il believe
the outlook for success in 1900 never
better than at present. On the old
questions of the campaign of 1896 we
are stronger than we were during that
campaign New questions we are
gaining steadily The Chicago plat
form at the convention next year will
be reaffirmed entire. In fact, I doubt
whether any opposition to the platform
will manifest itself in the convention
at ALL
'The two greatest of the new issues
before the country are: First, the
trusts; secondly, the Philippines. The
first question can scarcely be called
new; but the trusts have been so null
tiplied that the question assumes an
Importance which it did not have in
1896.
MANY methods have been suggested
for the determination of trusts. The
most feasible, it seems to me, is to re-
quire every corporation to obtain IL
cense from the Federal Government be-
fore it is permitted to do business
outside the State in which it is organ
lied This license can be granted un-
der conditions which will squeeze the
water out of the stock and prevent the
monopolization of any industry.
This nation must choose between be-
ing a republic or an empire. This is
becoming more and more clearly rec
ognized. While some were carried
away by the excitement attending the
war. I am sure that the second sober
thought on the part of the people Will
lead them to oppose any departure from
the principles of self-government as set
forth in the Declaration of Independ-
ence. An imperial policy cannot be de-
Tended on any ground. The islands will
never offer a home for our surplus pop
ulation The white race will not live in
the tropics Only 100000 persons of
British birth reside in India, out or
300,000,000 after 80 years of English
possession.
"The imperial policy demands an in
crease of $4,000 men in the standing
army. An army of $4,000 will cost the
people not less than S100,000000. That
money spent ip reclaiming the arid
lands of the West would furnish homes
for far more American citizens than
will ever locate in the Philippine ISL
ands.
'From a religious point of view 1t
cannot be defended despotism at
Manila is not consistent with a free
government in the United States. This
nation cannot endure while half its peo-
pie are citizens and half vassals::"

TRANsvAAL CRISIS.
Comment on the Subject by British
Newspapers.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-Commenting
upon the declaration of President Kru-
ger of the Transvaal to the effect that
the South African Government adhered
to it's latest offer and would not make
further concessions, the afternoon pa
pers here unanimously draw attention
to the increased seriousness of the
Transvaal crisis, but at the same time
they express uncertainty regarding the
nature of the concessions beyond which
President Kruger says he will not go.
No official announcement has been
made of these, though they are gener-
ally understood to be a five year fran
chise and increased Uitlander represen-
tation
eff this is correct" the Globe says,
''it cannot be long before diplomacy has
to stand aside as of no further SER
vice.
The ''Pall Mall Gazette" says: "Pres-
ident Krugers adherence to these
would mean adherence to impossible
conditions, and if so the situation has
come to an ugly head
The Westminster Gazette" while Ia
menting the immoderation, which it
says led to the present crisis, admits

| war which may shortly be as unavoid-
able as, on the merits of the ques-
ton, it would be inexcusable"
1t is said that with recruits from over
the borders, the Transvaal would have
about 10000 men at it's disposal, where
as the most the British could now
throw on the frontier would be 10000,
though, of course, this number would
be materially increased within month.
The British public is taking intense
interest in the preparation of their own
forces already in South Africa. Indig-
nation against Premier Schreiner of
Cape Colony, who, in the Cape House of
Assembly yesterday declared that
under the customs convention the Or
ange Free State was justified in import
ing arms through Cape Colony is fairly
| general, though that section which be-
| lleves that a Boer war would be a
crime are making, by editorials, poll
tlclans, etc., what they appear to think
is the last effort to avert hostilities.

GENERAL JOSEPH WHEELER.
Will Succeed to General Funston's
Command in the Philippines.

MANILA, Aug. 29-6:10 p. m.-Gen-
eral Wheeler has been ordered to re-
port to General Macarthur. He will
be given command of General Fun
ston's brigade, which Colonel Liscom
has commanded temporarily. General
Wheeler will proceed to San Fernando
tomorrow, after having spent a week
in energetically visiting the lines.
General Wheeler said to a representa-
tive of the Associated Press: Il am
much pleased with the situation. L
think that when Major General Otis
gets more troops here he will make
rapid progress. The country is more
favorable for military operations than
I supposed. The impression that the
country is unhealthy is wrong"
The railroad to Angeles will be re-
stored within a week, and General Mac
Arthur will advance his headquarters
to that place.

Santa Clara Rail Accident.

SAN JOSE, Aug. 29-It now seems to
be plainly developed that the accident
at Santa Clara crossing yesterday was
due to lack of watchfulness. The
crossing of the narrow gauge and
broad gauge tracks are provided with
an automatic arrangement which pre-
vents a collision. When a train gets
within a certain distance of the track
it's weight throws q derailing switch
on the other track. If a train then ap-
proaches on the latter track it is
ditched. When fiagmen Beachlee of the
narrow gauge ftrain yesterday sig
nailed his train to go ahead it moved
far enough up to throw the derailing
switch of the broad gauge track and
the wreck resulted.

Hon. Elihu Root, Secretary of War;
Washington-Dear Sir: l visited San
Francisco last week to be present upon
the arrival of the Colorado volunteers
from Manila, and / take pleasure in
testifying to the efficiency, which, i'm
my judgment, characterizes the action
of the Department of the Pacific under
General Shafter on the occasion mem
toned The transport was promptly
docked and the troops were promptly
disembarked; every facility for imme-
diate movement to the Presidio was
furnished, and a personal inspection of
their tents and quarters convinced me
that no sanitary precautions had been
neglected in the preparation which had
been made for their enforced detention
as preliminary to their discharge.
Il have taken the liberty to impose
this opinion upon your valuable time,
because l have heard various adverse
criticisms of General Shafter's manage
ment in similar cases, and from my
personal observation could conceive no
legitimate ground for them. 1 have
the honor to be your most obedient SER
want, CHARLES S. THOMAS,
Governor of Colorado"

sion of the arrival Of the Colorado vol
