A COAST PREvARICATION
Phoenix Raises Its Own Contribu-
 tions to the President.

The Los Angeles Herald which ar rived in this city yesterday contained the following:
 The good city of Phoenix has been compelled to come to California for the strawberries with which it proposes to regale the president and his party. Rivers Bros, the local dealers, yester- day received a telegraphic order for a whole refrigerator full of the fanciest they could find, and they lost no time in filling the order. They picked out forty-five boxes of luscious ones raised by C. NJ. Peck of Glendale, and imme- diately sent them to the Arcade depot by Wells Fargo X Co.'S express, by which company they will be taken to the Arizona point on passenger train time."
 An the strawberries to be set before the presidential party have been raised in this valley Berries and cucumbers and other vegetable delicacles have been sent to Congress for the breakfa st this morning. and raisers of fruits and vegetables have brought in the best of their gardens for the luncheon this afternoon. It may he truthfully added that rich Californians desirous of an exceptionally fine and luscious quality of strawberry have been ordering them from the Salt River valley market. Strawberries abound in southern Cali fornia, but none like those of this val. ley abound.

 motion of the socialist leader on the ground that the slave trade had been abolished in 1895, while Herr Bebel's resolution implied that 1t wa: still con- | tinued: on the other hand he contend | ed that 1t was impossible to abolish by | a stroke of the pen such ancient insti-

The Baltimore q Ohio is making
extensive repairs on nearly all the tun
nels along the line. Kingwood tun'
mel is being widened and the work
will be completed in a few weeks.
MIN j. Corrigan, general inspector
and superintendent of tunnels, will be-
gin about April l to widen Hitch
cocks tunnel, nalf way mp the II mile
grade on the Pittsburg division, from
rs to 80 feet, the standard width OF
double track tunnels. When the arch
is completed the tunnel will be ~ feet
high, one of the highest on the entire
system. In a few weeks a force will
be put to work tearing out the
tlmbered arch at the west end of Doe
Gulley tunnel, 81 miles east of Cumber-
land. A brick arch l60 feet long will
be put in. When the work is complet-
ed the tunnel will be a little over
1900 feet long. The tunnel will be
perfectly straight. The increase OF
traffic and the use Of heavier rolling
stock necessitates the widening of the
tunnels.
