LONG BEACH OUT
FOR ANNEXATION
STEALS HURRIED MARCH ON
SAN PEDRO
SPECIAL ELECTION is CALLED
Petition includes Long Line Of Ter
rltory, Embracing Deadman's
Island, East san Pedro and
Terminal Island
snecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
| LONG BEACH, July 1.-THE city
stole march on San Pedro tonight
by it's trustees calling special cleo
ton for August 16 ON the question OF
annexing Terminal Island and San
Pedro.
Last week when San Pedro heard
that Long Beach was desirous of ex-
tending it's boundaries to the inner
harbor, it began hurried campaign
to get the intervening territory for
itself, and began circulating petitions
with a view to holding a special cleo
tion. Today the Long Beach annex
ationists heard that the San Pedro
trustees would call an election at their
meeting tomorrow night This was the
regular meeting day for the Long
Beach trustees and 1t was seen that
if Long Beach called an election with
in the legal limit of thirty days they
could get in one day ahead of San
Pedro.
It happened however, that all the
trustees We're obliged to be in Los An
geles as witnesses in the. suit of Po-
llceman Folsom against City Marshal
j. J. Conklin, while Mayor Emo and
Trustee j. b. Losee had come to Los
Angeles from a fishing trip. But the
annexationists were not to be denied.
Trustee Oakford got excused from
court long enough to run down here
tbie q ftarpnon a,d adio1,-,, t1,a Y,oaat
ing until 6 o'clock. The mayor and
Trustee Losee were brought from the
court room to Long Beach, where
they found some interested Terminal
Island men and the Long Beach en-
nexatiopists waiting for them. The
meeting began at 1880 and other bust
ness was pushed aside while the an
nexation petition was read. City At
torney E. A. knight declared that the
petition was properly signed by one
of the signatures having been secured
today, when the necessity for immedi-
ate action became apparent. yse
The petition names, as the territory
to be annexed, all the land bounded
by the Anaheim road to a point near
Wilmington, line from that point to
the inner harbor and from thence to
Deadman's island, which is the outer
end of the peninsula on which Term
inal island and East San Pedro are
located. The petition having been read
a resolution calling the election fol-
lowed. Mayor Emo remarked that he
hardly felt able to vote intelligently
upon the subject as it had come upon
him suddenly. He and the four other
trustees all voted aye, however. No
tice of the election will be published
Immediately,

was the only speaker for or agains.
the election. He said he represented
the Salt Lake railroad and other large
interests in Terminal Island, all Of
which desired to see the place annexed
to Long Beach, -Filis's
The situation here is complicated
by the fact that Long Beach has al,
ready called special election for Au..
gust 13 on the subject of annexing
Alamitos. The Terminal island annex
alton was an afterthought bred by the
fear that Alamitos would not want to
be annexed and Long Beach is in q

Surviving Confederates.

The southern estimates Of the surviv-
ing Confederates are too low or the
mortality among them has been ex-
cessive since the war. During the re-
cent annual gathering at Louisville it
was stated that there are $4,000 in the
organization and 5000 outside, max
ing only $4,000 still alive. In the north
ern ranks the mortality since Apo
mattox has been about SO per cent.
On that basis of calculation there are
not fewer than 100000 survivors of the
host that wore the gray.
Military statisdcians place the total
muster Of the Confederate armies at
about 100000 men. There were about
475,OOO in service at the beginning Of
1864, and 1850 surrendered in 1865.
1t is not possible that the south lost
100000 by death in 1864, for the Con-
federate losses that year were less
than in 1868. Besides, in the course Of
the war there were probably 100000
soldiers discharged for disability who
were living in 1865. Doubtless there
are thousands Of veterans not account
ed for on the lists Of surviving Confed-
crates.

American Canned Goods In England

American Canned Goods In England.
A renewed effort is being made to
enlarge the sale of canned fruits and
vegetables in England, and If we'll di-
rected it has good prospects of success,
according to a recent statement from
United States Consul Hamm of Hull.
Attempts to place American canned
goods on the foreign market often fail
because local conditions are not
studied. National habits, customs and
acquired tastes need to be closely ex-
amined and catered to. Says Mr.
Hamm:
One error made by American exporters,
and especially in canned goods, is to mis-
take quantity for quality. All European
people with whom I have become ac-
Quainted have different ideas on this sub
5ect from Americans. The abundance in
food products so prevalent in the United
States does not rule here. Europeans
have consequently become accustomed to
smaller quantities and to greater care in
the use and preparation of foods. This is
especially true Of the French. They are
famous for the nicely and attractive char
acter Of their table preparations and carry
these traits into the preparation Of canned
foods, consequently often finding sales for
them denied to American products.
Another mistake made by American ex-
porters of canned foods is to try to force
upon the market goods which national
habits and tastes do not demand Many
exporters seem to imagine that If the
American people like certain article of
food all other people must like it and that
II foreigners have not consumed the food
heretofore the only thing necessary to get
them to use it is to bring it to their at
tention. This is wholly erroneous idea
The consul cites corn as an example.
The American trade for canned corn
follows the free use of green corn.
Only an infinitesimal number of Eng
l1sh people have ever eaten green corn,
and to try to force canned corn upon
the English market is a waste Of en-
ergy.
Mr.. Hamm suggests that fruits in
glass jars would be more attractive in
show windows than tin cans, yet this
form Of display is rarely seen in Eng
land. Large quantities Of fresh fruits
are imported by England, but canned
goods come almost entirely from
France and the United States. This
country has the greater abundance and
the better grade Of fruits, and they
need only to be placed before the Eng
lish public in the right way to drive
all competition out Of the market.
