L0OS ANGELES, CAL., Jan. 25.—On the register of the Hotel Westminster, written a cramped hand, is the name “W. G. leynolds, E: d.” That pame on the business end of a check is good in any bank in England and its exchanges in America for several millions. Although Mr. Reynolds spends on an average about $300 a day while on his travels through this country, he is very modest and will not be interviewed or talked with. The people of the Westminster Hotel, from the bellboys to Mr. Potter, one of the proorietors, imagine Reynolds to be in some way in interest with Barney Bar- nato, the Kaffir King. A few monthsago Reynolds telegraphed from London to Raymond & Whitconib for a special car, to see the sightsin “the States.” He added in the cablegram that he didn't care about expense, but insisted that he should have the finest special car obzainable. The result was that Reynolds is traveling about in the latest Pullman, which is furnished in all the gorgeous luxury of a miniature Aladdin’s palace. Reynolds didn’t care to travel alone go he invited a few American friends whom he met in London. He doesn’t believe in living in the mugnificent car when there are comfortable hotels about, so that is why he always goes to a hotel when he reaches a California town. This morning an emissary of Reynolds negotiated with the Santa Fe officials for a clear right of way over the surf line to S8an Diego. Reynolds wants a special engine and wan;;s to break the records. As a “tipper” he is a prince, 2and_the employes of the hotels he stops-at nr’:consmgm%fly richer for bis arrival. Reynolds is spend- ing more money in Los Angeles than any ;)_ther tourist who has been here for a lohg ime, e e SEVENTH REGIMENT ELECTION. Captain Nerney Elected to the Tieutenant- Coloneley.

The new staff officers are geographically well gi- vided, Redlands, Santa Pauls, Los An- geles and Pomona being represented. e e L 2 FRIGHTENED THI BURGLARS, Visitors Driven Away by a Plucky Servant Girl. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Jan. 25.—Burglars entered the residence of Albert Searles, in the fashionable part of the cit;_', at 1 o’clock this morning. A servant girl was awakened by the noise, and seeing the indistinct forms in the hall she cried out, 3 ance cne step and I will shoot you Midnight | fuil of holes.” Neither of the thieves Jingered, but fled. As they departed a bottle fell to the floor with a great crash. They had opened a bottle of ht and were drinking it. In the dining-room were found sundry valuable articles of bric-a-brac, silverware and valuables all done up in sacks ready to be carried away. In their haste, thoqzh, the burglars forgot their plunder. The irl had no revolver or weapon of She simply ran a successful any kin “pluff.” The wholesale establishment of General C. F. A. Last was also entered by burglars this morning. Stock to the value of several red dollars and $90 in the cash-drawer were taken. Numerous burglaries are reported throughout the city, but the police seem powerless to prevent their recurrence, and unable to detect the gang conducting the successful operation: CLOVE. TR FAIR.

EUREKA, Caw, ] A movement has just been started here which will soon spread itself among all the Governmental light-keepers throughout the TUnited States. The originatoris Fred L. Harring- ton, keeper of ihe Trinidad headlight, Humboldt County. The movement is con- cerned with a bill that will be presented to Congr this session for the benefit of the life-saying service. The bill as drawn enables life-saving men to retire on half pay after twenty years of service and pro- des pensions for the widows and minor chiidren of men dying in the service. Mr. Harrington proposes to interest light-keepers all over the United States, and have them intercede with the Senators and Congressmen from their respective States and districts so that the provisions f the bill may be extended so as to include ht-keepers who have been faithful to their post for a space of twenty years, or who, should accident befall them, could leave a maintenance to their widows and orphans. Mr. Harrington has already begun his work, and has just received the following letter from Senator Perkins, at Wash- ington: Dear Sir: _Your letter regarding the proposed bill for the benefit of surfmen I was glad to receive. The character of the work and the herdships of men in your position I am per- fectly familiar with, as well as their services to commerce. When the bill shall come up before Congress, I will bear in mind the suggestions made by you. The lighthouse men on the Atlantic should be urged to organize end create a_pub- lic sentiment in their favor witaout delay. Very truly yours, GEORGE C. PERKINS, U. 8, 8, There are about 1032 of these light- keepers in the Government employ, of which 152 are on the Picific Coast. These light-keepers feel themselves entitled to this Governmental assistance which it is proposed to extend to the life-saving service branch, and will make an organized fight to be included in the biil, g e EUREKA'S RIVAL RAILRCGADS. 1 New Line Wins in Its Clash With the Old Corporation. EUREKA, CAL., Jan. 25.—Judge Wilson to-day disselved the injunction of the Ar- cata and Mad River Railroad Company, owned by Korbel Brothers of San Fran- cisco, against the newly incorporated rival, ‘the Eureka and Klamath River Railroad Company. The injunction was brought against the new company to restrain it from entering upon lands or crossing the tra(:ik of the Arcata and Mad River Rail- road. . Great interest has been manifested in the proceedings, and the crew of 150 men, laid off as soon as the injunction was com- menced, will be immediately put at work. It is likely that Korbel Brothers will ap- peal from this decision. & st o SEATTLE'S ALLEGED EMBEZZLER Shortage in the Accounts of ex-Clerk Whitney of the School Board. SEATTLE, Wasn., Jan, 25.—An account- ant employed as expert on the books re- ported this afternoon that Harry Whitney, ex-secretary of the School Board, is short in his accounts $1000 and possibly much more. The directors have requested the prosecnti% attorney to issue a warrant charging Whitney, who is said to he re- turning to Seattle from a visit to Califor- nia, with embezzlement. It is intimated that one or more former members of the School Board are implicated with Whitney. The disclosures, by reason of the social prominence of the “ex-secretary, have cre- ated a mild sensation. —_— Embezzlement at Calistoga. NAPA, CAvL., Jan. 25.—A charge of em- bezzlement has been preferred against Charles Rogers of Calinogn, for the al- leged use of funds of a Native Sons parlor when he was its secretary some time ago, He is now in jail, bis examination being fixed for next Tuesd: —— MORE NEW BATTLE-SHIPS, Congress Will Build as Many as Our Finances Will Permit, WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 25.—The opinion is expressed by members of the House Naval Committee that the naval appropriations bill for the coming fiscal vear will provide for two new battle-ships and possibly three. The matter has not been even informally discussed by the committee, but so far as can be learned the dlstrosicio'n is general to provide for as many first-class fighting ships as the con- dition of the Nntfonal finances will per- mit. It is expected also that the bill will carry an appropriation for a number of in !o?mdo-bonu, probably as many as twelve | ing one A SENSATION AT SANTA ANA, Citizens Excited Over the Arrest of Murderer Southern. STORY OF HIS CRIME. Two Brothers Named Gleason Are Instrumental in Effecting His Capture. SURE EE IS THE RIGHT MAN. Remanded Without Bail and His Pre- liminary Examination Set for Thursday Next. SANTA ANA, Can, Jan. 25.—The capture of G. G. Southern by Sheriff J. C. Nichols at Los Angeles last Saturday night, as related in a special dispaich a few days ago, caused one of the most genuine surprises among our people of anything in police circles here for years. The crime with which Southern is charged is the murder of Mariano Cuero, a Mexican, in this city on the night of October 12, 1894. The Orange County fair was in progress at the time, and there were many strangers and tourists in town, some of whom took in the sights until very late, which fact gave the Sheriff the evidence upon which he arrested Southern, a year and three months after his cowardly crime was committed. About midnight on the 12th a pistol shot a couple of blocks west of the business cen- ter of thecity startled those who were about at that hour. With lightning rapidity the report circulated that a man had been shot, and quite a crowd scon collected near the corner of Birch and Fourth streets, where poor Cuero lay groaning with a bullet-hole just under his heart. He had been shot behind some billboards near by, and man- aged to drag himself to the corner, where he fell. Several people who heard the shot stated that they heard two men talk- ing in a quarrel just before the report of the pistol; others had seen a horse being driven rapidly westward from the scene of the shooting, and a third story was to the effect that & man had run straight north directly after the shot. Cuero was removed to the City Hall, where he died about 3 o'clock, without giving any further information about his murder than that he was an *“American.’’ Marshal Nichols (the present Sheriff) worked hard for many days on clews which proved to be entirely false, and ai last was about to give up the case when he learned that two brothers named Gleason, tourists from St. Louis, to which place they had returned, had witnessea the shooting from a point where they saw the murderer so clearly that they could easily recognize him agein. A large amount of correspondence passed between Officer Nicholsand the Gleasons, and when they came to Los Angeles again this winter they were fully prepared to enter into the case, from which they had before held aloof at a critical time. Nichols had sus- picioned Southern as the man, and when the Gleasons saw him they pronounced him at once the murderer they had solong carried in their minds. A prompt arrest followed, which the prisoner took coolly enough. Monday evening Southern was brought to Santa Ana by Sheriff Nichols and Deputy Jack Landell, and on Tuesday he was ar- raigned before Justice Freeman, who re- manded him into custody without bail to await an examination on January 30, at which time some sensational testimony is expected. Southern formerly lived on a rented farm in Newport, near Santa Ana, and on a £00d many occasions became troublesome in town through drinking. When under the influence of liquor he s extremely reckless and ugly and is a would-be bad man whether drunk or sober. He was in court three times between the date of the murder and March 11 following, when he went to Los Angeles; once for carrying concealed weapons and disturbing the peace, once for beating an old man named Boland and the third time for burglary. Of the last charge he was acquitted. He has never been in Santa Ana since last March and undoubtedly considerea him- self safe from the clutches of the law when Marshal Nichols arrested him. As the murdered man was almost a stranger here and seemed to have no friends who took much interest in the matter, the case was soon forgotten by nearly every one, and its sudden revival by the arrest of a former well-known character for the crime created a genuine surprise. JUBILANT FARMERS, Every Indication of Abundant Crops in Orange County. SANTA ANA, CAL., Jan. 25.—The Ppros- pects for abundant crops in Orange County are excellent. The last rainstorms have been of that easy but continued character that give the ground the full benefit of the moisture, Many thousands of acres of barley already sowed is growing finely, and farmers are working like beavers every- where, turning over and cultivating the soil. The continued cold weather, which eaded about ten days ago, retarded the growth of all vegetation, but the present warm spell and the rains have given every- thing new life. From present indicatiohs a better year was never ahead of Orange County. g WANT BETTER FACILITIES, Santa Ana People Going After Railroad and Streetcar Companies. SANTA ANA, OaL, Jan. 23.—A project in railroad circles m Santa Ana is now under way which, if accomplished, will do much toward disposing of the tenacious streetcar embroglio and establishing better business conditions for ths city. The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe rail- way depots, while both in the eastern por. tion of the city, have been so widely sep- arated that it was necessary to lay a track and o te separate streetcars to each. City Clerk Tedford is now busily engaged with a plan to induce the Southern Pacific Company to remove its depot ‘over to the south side of Fourth street, directly west of the Santa Fe depot and only about 100 feet west of that building. This would not only put both roads on the same foot- ing for business, but would be a at convenience to ti traveling public, amounting really to a union dosgt. . The city would take great pride in put- ting Fourth street, to the depots, in the best of shape, and the expehise of o] streetcar branch line wo e saved. The leading citizens of Santa Ana are in dead earnest about the matter, and our people will certainly be keenly disap- pointed if the Southern Pacific refuses to accede to their request. . The owners of the strestcar line, opera- tions on which have been suspended the past two months, are eagerly awaiting de- velopments, and, if their franchise is not declared forfeited by the Trustees, will undoubtedly be ready to resume the line and pave their portion of the street in case the removal of the Southern Pacific depot is made. The City Trustees have now se- cured an opinion that they can annul the franchise of the street railway company as a penalt&v for its failure to operate the sys- tem, and will commence proceedings in a few days to compel a resumption of the business or forfeiture of the franchise, GUESTS OF SANTA CORUZ.

SAN' DIEGO GRAND JURY, Clifton E. Mayne's Accusations of Bribery Found to Be Groundless. City Councilmen Are Exonerated After an Exhaustive and Expensive Inquiry. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Jan. 25.—The Grand | Jury.of San Diego County, after thirty-five days’ investization of county offices and various charges brought before it, made its final report to Judge Puterbaugh and was discharged. Two indictments were returned yester- day, which make nine altogether brought in.by the jury. They were againstT. F. Brown for grand larceny and Simon O’Connell for attempted burglary. . Brown is alleged to have made a wholesale haul of farming implements at El Cajon, and O'Connell is the hobo who was caught .in the act of looting Wells, Fargo & Co.’s office of this city. Both are inthe County Jail. The other seven indictments returned were: - Four against Frank Wilson, three dor assault with intent to commit murder. and one for assault with adeadly weapon; Savero Romero, assault with intent to mur- der; Thomas H. Dunkin, same charge, and John B. Postema, grand larceny. Much of the time of the jury was taken up in ‘an investigation of "the charges brought by the San Diego Flume Company that certain members of the formerand the present City Council had been guilty of accepting bribes for their votes on the yater 3\1esnon. These charges were based on affidavits made by the notorious Clifton E. Mayne, who was lately sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty-five years for wronging his yonn%‘ wards, the Shipton girls. Concerning these charges the jury reports: “Two weeks' time has been consumed, seventy-five witnesses examined and stren- uous efforts made to procure evidence in support of the charges preferred against members and ex-members of the City Council of the city of Ban Diego, accusing them of bribery and accépting bribes for their votes in favor of certain water pro sitions pending before the Council. The jury has been unable to obtain reliable testimony or any evidemce sufficient to sustain said charges. It is very much to be regretted that the coanty has been put to such great expense in the total absence of evidence to prove said charges.” VAL T THE BILLIARD TOURNAMENT. Gallagher Wins His Fowrth Successive Game, Defeating McLaughlin. CHICAGO, Iry., Jan. 25.—The billiara game of the tournament this afternoon was the slowest and tamest of any which has been played. The contestants, Mag- gioli and Capron, were in their poorest form, especially the Canadian. It took the 8t. Louis player, erratic as ever, thirty- six innings to score 400, while Capron got a little over half, 208. : Gallagher won his fourth successive game to-night, defeating McLaughlin with ease, although much had been expected of the Philadelphian since his winning stroke developed. The score was 400 to 246, and only in two innings on the Gallagher side, when he scored 65 and 40 with first-class billiards close to the rail, did the game rise above the commonplace. To-night’s game gives Gallagher first place in the tournament, unless Maggioli defeats him in the final game Monday night, when there would be a tie between them to be.played off. If Hatley beats Capron Monday afternoon, which is likely, there will be a tie between him and Mag- gioli for second monuey to be played off. SR i LAVACK THE WINNER. Defeated Donovan Before the New York Athletio Club. NEW YORK, N.Y., Jan. 25.—The mem- bers of the New York Athletic Club crowded the gymnasium to-night to see the third subscription boxing entertain- ment. Arthur Moore was referee. Johnny Lavack of Cleveland and Con Donovan of this city were slated for six roundsat 120 pounds. Lavack was as quick as a flash, and had such a powerfui right that Donovan was knocked to his knees in the first round. In the second round Lavack drove his left to the jaw repeatedly and- finally sent his right across the %)int of the chin with such force that Donovan reeled against the ropes, but hefore the OClevelander could score a knockout Referee Moore i'f:ppej:l the go and gave the decision to Vack, SRR Skating Championship.

METHOD OF AMATEURS. The Ponderous Steel Door Blown Through the Side of the Building. SECURE BUT A SMALL SUM. Two Strangers in the City Are Sus- pected of Knowledge of the Crime. MONTEREY, Car., Jan. 25.—The safe of the Southern Pacific Railroad Com- pany’s station was blown open last night and $33 70 in money taken. Agent Berry left the depot last evening at 6:30 o’clock, leaving everything safe and sound, as usual, but on arriving at the depot this morning at 6 o’clock he found the safe deor, weighing fully 300 pounds, blown completely from its hinges, through the wall of the building and acrossa space of fully 100 feet, where it landed on the beach. The explosive used was dynamite or nitro-glycerine, and the burglars were cer- tainly amateurs, as they used three times as much as was necessary. The sound of the explosion was heard by people living in the neighbornood and a search was in- stituted, but nothing of a suspicious nature was found. The hour at which the explo- sion occurred must have been 1:40 A. 1., as the hands of the clock hanging just over the safe had stopped at that time. The robbers gained entrance into the building by forcing the door of the waiting- room, which was secured only by an ordi- nary lock. A peculiar incident of the af- fair was the escape of a pet mouse which was directly in the range of the flying mis- sile, but came off without a scratch. The officérs suspect two strangers who bave been around town for two days, one of whom stopped at the St. Charles Hotel Thursday evening, registering under the name of F. T. Thomas of San Francisco. From the appearance of the handwriting ‘it was disguisea. "He left word with the clerk to be called at an early hour this morning, but when W. B. Higgins, the | landlord, went to awaken him the room ‘had not been occupied. A full descrip- tion of the suspected pair was sent by tele- phone to Sheriff Matthews at Salnas and he came over on horseback about noon. The authorities are confident that the criminals cannot escape. INTERESTS THE COAST, | New Bill for the Classification of Mineral Lands in California. San Diego People Working for a Military Reservation at That Port, WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 25.—Tirey | L. Ford of San Francisco, representing the | California Miners' Association, said to a CArLL correspondent to-night that he had | prepared a new bill for the classification of mumeral lands in California, and that Representative Grove Johnson will pre- sent it in the House on Monday. It is the measure drafted by the legislative committee of the California Miners’ As- sociation and,is known as *‘the committee bill,” and is practically the same act that now applies to Idaho and Montana. Mr. Ford is considering whether it will be best to provide a board of three com- missioners for each of the nineland dis- tricts or whether two or more districts may be combined, so that no more than four or five boards will be necessary. The objection to nine boards would be that the $10 per diem for traveling and other ex- penses of the twenty-seven commissioners would swell the total expenses to a con- siderable sum, and this is an economically inclined Congress. It would require an ap- propriation of $100,000 per annum to pay the salaries and expenses of the twenty- seven commissioners, and, apprehensive that this might endanger the passage of the bill, Mr. Ford is considering the ad- visability of providing for only four boards or as many as there are under the Idaho- Montana act. The Secretary of the Interior has sent an estimate of $40,000 to Congress to pay the salaries and expenses of the Idaho and Montana boards, and this amount would fn‘abably be sutlicient to claasify California ands. The bill, as originally drafted by the legislative committee of the California Miners’ Association, only made provision for one board (of three” commissioners), but it is thought that three men would not bea sufficient force. It would take them too long to complete the work. Mr. Ford will communicate witn mem- bers of the miners’ committee in Cali- fornia and ask which bill they wish him to urge, the one already introduced by John- 8on or one drawn on the lines above sug- gested. Mr. Ford has talked with nearly all the members of the California delega- tion and thinks they will be united in support of all the bills prepared by the Miners’ Association, He believes that the California people are practically united in favor of such legislation. “There is no trouble at the other end of the line (California),"” he said, “‘and L hope that our delegation 1n Congress will work together in harmony. I do not anticipate there will be much trouble in passing the mineral lands classification bill, but it will require hard work, united and eterminea, on the part of our Congressional delegation to induce Congress to pass our mining bill, which -ppmg:amtes over a million dollars. Speaker Reed has already an- nounced that strict economy in public ex- pendituresis to be therule, and I tind many Congressmen echoing his sentiments, for he is the king bee of the House.” San _Dxe%n peovle are urging the estab- lishment of a military reservation there. They have been sending in letters and pe- titions since Congress mer, and this morn- ing»wmmunicauons were received by each California Senator and Representative ex- plaining the need of fortifications and re. minding them that the site given to the Government by the citizens was yet un- occupied. Senator Perkins, in reply to the Cham- ber of Commerce to-day, had this to say; “I am fully aware that all you say is true, and thata port of such importance ‘with the “prospect of such an increase in commerce as it has should no longer be lefit open to attack from any kind of force that might be brought against it. Before your letter was received I had brought to the notice of the Secretary of War the exposed con- dition of San Diego and had requested him to inform me whether the military reserva- tion could not be utilized by the establish- ment there of a mintary post. His answer was received to-day, which I in- close herewith: My Dear Sir—In response to your letter of the 13th inst. respecting the fortifications of San Diego harbor, and asking ‘“whether it is not in the power of the War Department to establish a military post on the reservation which was set apart for this purpose on_ Point Loma,” I beg to state that no appropriation is now available for the coast defense proposed for the city and bay of San Diego. Should ap- propriations be made by Congress the engineer department proposes {o expend about $400,- on these works during the first eighteen nfimhs after the money should become avail- able. When the works shall have been sufficiently advanced for occupation by troops it will be necessary to provide accommodation for an artillery garrison; butas yet it has not been determined whether this garrison shell be established at one point or at two or more points convenient to the separate branches. Thus the establishment of a garrison depends upon the comstruction of tortifications, and the intter depends upon appropriations inade for that purpose. It is not necessary to add that the defenses of the Pacific Coast, as well s of other frontiers of tne country, are being com&:leled as rapidly as the means placed at the disposal of this aepartment will permit. Very truly yours, DaANIEL S. LAMONT, Secretary of War. *You will observe that the Secretary of War seems to realize that there is need that something should be done without delay in the way of providing fortifications, and that lack of money will alone prevent the commencement of work. You will also observe that the question of providing defenses has apparently been under con- sideration and that plans have evidently been prepared. Whether the work which is referred to by the Secretary of War will be commenced this year or not depends, as be points out, on the action of Congress in regard to appropriations. The Chamber of Commerce may be assured that all of the delegation to Congress from California will use every effort to secure the passage of the bills referred to.” Senator Perkins will introduce a bill ap- propriating $35,000 for a lighthouse and fog signal at Point Arguella, twelves miles north of Point Concepcion.

C., Jan. 25.—Miss Anna Shaw of Philadelphia, in the ab- sence of Susan B. Anthony, presided over this morning’s session of the Woman Sui- frage Congress, which was devoted to reports of work in the field from the or- ganization committee raised by Mrs. Catt of New York, chairman, who,in a sum- mary of what had been accomplished, showed that 510 meetings had been held, nine State conventions held and ten State associations organized. Aid in the v of | organization has been given to thirty-one States.
