Carries by Narrow Margin

Greater Los Angeles is IN slgnl.
The southern limits of the city have
been extended to the western boundary
of Wilmington and the northern limits
of San Pedro
By a vote of 2O8 to 202, or a majority
of 6, the residents of the district to
be annexed yesterday declared IN favor
of becoming a part of Los Angeles
In Los Angeles the project was
favored by vote of nearly 10 to 1.
AS a result the cities of Wilmington
and San Pedro now are in position to
enter the already opened door and be-
come a part of the Greater Los Angeles
which such an act would create.
Los Angeles thus would become q
seaport as well ASA great inland city,
and by reason of It's strength and inn
portance demand that the harbor of
San Pedro be free to the commerce of
the world.

One Chance for the Ponies

Ascot park interests and the railroad
machine combined their efforts In an
attempt to defeat the annexation plan.
Their efforts failed, and the favorable
outcome of the election, in addition to
assuring a Greater Los Angeles, also
sounds the death knell of Ascot park
as a racing resort, inasmuch as the
district in which the race track is To-
Gated will become a part of Los An
geles and be under police regulations
prohibiting the making of race books.
There was a rumor in circulation last
night that Ascot park interests would
appeal to the courts to prevent the
contamination of the annexation plain,
but on what grounds Gould not be
learned.
An attorney who has watched the
progress of the annexation movement
said last night that he could not see
a loophole through which the oppon-
ents of annexation could crawl and
that annexation would become an es-
tablished fact with the passage of an
ordinance by the council ratifying the
election.
Small Vote Is Cast
There is a possibility that this sea-
sons racing at Ascot park Will not be
seriously interfered with.
Thousands OF dollars have been ex-
pended by the managers In preparing
for the season, which viii begin during
the present month, and at great ex-
pense to their owners scores of horses
are being sent from eastern circuits to
Los Angeles
In view of this fact II is thought
possible that the council will not make
haste in taking action which would

VOTE FOR LOCK- CANAL.
Last Obstacle Removed From Path
of Panama Waterway.

Washington, d. C.-By voting in
favor Of lock instead of a sea level
canal at Panama the Senate prob
ably decided for all time the question
which two weeks ago seemed likely
to remain undecided for a long per-
iod
The amendment for the lock plan
to the Sea Level bill reported by the
committee was offered by Senator
Hopkins. Senator Kittredge moved
to table the amendment, and on this
the test vote came. Thirty-one IA
vored the sea level and thirfy-Eix the
lock plan Twenty-one Democrats,
together with Ankeny, Burrows,
Burnham Dick, Gallinger, Hale, Kit
tredge, McCumber, Nelson and Platt
voted for the sea level plan Thirty
five Republicans and one Democrat,
Patterson, Of Colorado, voted for the
lock plan.
A lock canal is estimated to cost
$135, 100000 and to require eight
years for its completion. The Pres
ident held that the canal should be
built for present use and not for
posterity, and he favored whichever
type would be the least expensive
and produce the most speedy results.
1t was estimated that a sea-level
canal would cost 1895, 100000 and
require at least twelve years for con-
struction
AS soon as I receive official MOTIF
fcation Of the action of Congress
III tell Shonts to cut loose"
This was the first exclamation of
the President when he learned that
the Senate had declared in favor of
a lock canal.

The Adnairal's Flight.

Had not Admiral Lord Keith de-
liberately lodged the process-server,
Napoleon might never have gone to
st. Helena. We wish that the King
Of France would hang or shoot Bon
aparte, as the best termination of the
business, wrote Lord Liverpool, our
humane prime minister. They did
not want him back in England, what
ever happened. Others did. A man,
bent on getting him brought ashore,
issued subpoena for Napoleon,
Lord Keith thought it was a writ OF
babeas corpus, and was determined
not to have it served. The man
chased him all day, he declared, first
starting him out Of his own house
then following him to the Tonnant
which he entered on one side as the
admiral left by the other; and pur-
suing him still further round the
fleet, until Lord Keith finally out
rowed him in a twelve-oared barge
and gave him the slip. Had Napol-
con once come ashore and seen the
Prince Regent, he had never seen
st. Helena. Why, blame the fell
low, said Keith. after his interview
with his Royal Highness. in half an
hour they would have been the best
friends in England Which, judg-
ing from all the evidence, seems ac-
curately to express the probabilities

RATES CUT IN KENTUCKY
State Commissioners Deal a
Heavy Blow to Railroads.
Order Reduction Of 25 Per Cent in
Freight Rates--CaIIed Astound-
ing and Revolutionary.

Louisville, Ky.-The State Rail-
road Commission, sitting in Frank
fort, dealt heavy blow to the Louis
vile and Nashville and Illinois Cen
trail roads, others also being affect
ed, when decisioa was handed
down ordering a sweeping reduction
in rates to all local points, effecting
saving to shippers Of an amount es-
timated at 81, 100000.
The Louisville and Nashville is
hardest hit Of all the roads, the com
mission ordering that its present rate
be reduced twenty-five per cent. The
Illinois Central is also singled out
for censure and is forbidden to.
charge in excess of the rate fixed for
the Louisville and Nashville
The freight rate charged on the
main stem of the Louisville and
Nashville running down toward Nash
vile is taken as the basis for all
freight rates in Kentucky The Cin-
cinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pa
cific and Southern are also held to
be charging unfair rates, but these
roads are not censured as are the
first two named.
The Chesapeake and Ohio is practi-
cally exonerated. 1t is practically
certain that the Louisville and Nash
vile and the Illinois Central will
make vigorous fight against the en-
forcement of the new ruling. 1t was
shown in the. report that Cincinnati
was greatly favored over Louisville.
The effect of the decision is summed
up in the terse statement of prom
inent railroad man:
.The decision is astounding and
revolutionary"

The GIass 81 Water Cure.

A certain old family physician
never tires Of proclaiming the vir-
tues of a glass of cold water taken
on waking in the morning.
Many people, he remarks, "avoid
drinking water as though it were
poison, although without it no one
can be properly healthy. When
taken early in the morning 1t has a
cleansing and bracing effect on the
system, while its beneficial effect on
the liver can hardly be exaggerated.
ut is so simple a rule that the ad-
vice is well worth following, espe-
cially by those who suffer with in
digestion or who awake with feel
ing of languor, an early morning
sensation which af1icts innumerable
people of sedentary habits. Kan

KING HAAKON VII. CROWNED
Democracy Keynote Of the
Norwegian Coronation.
Striking Contrast to the Old Viking
Ceremony When New Ruler
Asccnds Throne.

Trondhjem, Norway. striking
contrast to the kings whom he sue
ceeds, the Vikings Of 500 years ago,
King Haakon VII. and his queen,
Maud, were crowned sovereigns of
reborn Norway in this the ancient
Morse capital Visitors from far
away countries could not fail to
think and to give expression to the
thought, that the Vikings made them
selves gsKing Haakon was
made king by the grace OF the people
of Norway
Everything was carried out wish
the utmost simplicity, in this respect
resembling more closely the inaugur-
alton of an American President than
a-royal pageant.
Mingled with the expression Of pa
triotism from the thousands of Nor
wegians in the old capital city, was
the sentiment that their new crowned
king was the ornament to the new
political structure that the people
had reared, while the visitors from
abroad viewed the coronation more
or less as a peculiar survival OF me-
dievalism and perhaps among the
last such occasions of kingly pomp to
survive the twentieth century, the
era of democracy.
Beside the new-crowned king was
his bride, crowned in her turn, Queen
Maud, daughter of the King of Eng
land Affection mingled with the
patriotic sentiment that stirred thou
sands here for the coronation, but
underlying the general feeling there
was clearly shown a spirit, almost
fierce. Of nationalism, All for Nor
way as the national motto has it,
that has never been equalled since
the days of Norway's independence
and power.
The coronation ceremony took
place in Trondhjem Cathedral, not
yet completed, but so covered with
decoration for the occasion that its
defects were not noticeable King
and queen sat in ancient chairs under
canopies of red and gold, capped by
crowns embroidered with the initials
of Haakon and his wife, the whole
placed between the two transets
under the dome of the structure.
The royal procession from the PAL
ace to the cathedral was truly inn
pressive. The popuIace, augmented
many-fold by the visitors, seemed
never to end their shouting. In the
cathedral it was the same, although
more dignifled.
A battery of artillery doomed out
its royal salute as the coronation
was completed The coronation
music followed, consisting of a spec
tally composed cantata in four parts.
