L.OS ANGELES, Car.,, March 31.—The | agitation of the local harbor question, which has been stirred up by recent re- ports from Washington arent a double appropriation—one for San Pedro and one for Santa Monica, whereas an appropri- etion for San Pedro only was asked and expected by the community at large—is at fever heat. There is great apprehen- sion lest the opposition to the proposed | appropriation for Santa Monica will re- sult in the defe | timent appears appropriation for e, for the reason | to an Santa Monica at thist that the §100,000 to b on an outer harbor there means the committal of the Government to the construction of & deep- sea harbor at that p contrary to the reports of all the boards of Government engineers and the w of the people of Southern California generally. It is argued at the Government will never under e the construction of two deep sea harbors less than thirty miles apart, and as the appropriation proposed for Wilmington or San Pedro by this Con- gress is for the improvement of the inner harbor only, it can expect nothing of fu- ture Congresses 1f the Government is once committed to the expenditure of a large sum of ‘money at Santa Monica for the same purpose. It is admitted that Huntington played his trump card when he succeeded i n get- ting an appropriation for Santa Monica in- corparted in the river and harbor bill, in the face of such strenuous opposition. The committee sent to Washington by the Free Harbor I ue to lobby for San Pedro is greatly exercised over the turn aff bave taken.

These resolutions, it is understood, are more emphatic, if pos- sible, than those adopted by the Free Harbor League in favor of San Pedro last Saturday. As Santa Monica has some warm friends in the board of directors, a red-hot fight is expected when the resolu- tions are called up Psg e TO BE FETED.

The contrast g between disease and health is as sharply marked as that between darkness and light. The suf- ferings of disease make enjoyment of life impossible and perfect health makes even a common ) place existence a bright and happy one. most of it is needless. Nine-tenths of it can be subdued by very simple remedies. Even that most dreadful malady, con- sumption, can be cured in g8 cases out of a hundred, if it be treated in its early stages with Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. Consumption is a disease caused by impurity of the blood, and the first thing to be done in its treatment is to make the blood pure, rich and wholesome. That is half the battle. is the impregnation of the blood with cleansing, healing, invigorating medi- cines. bl‘he ‘“Golden Medical Discov- ery” does both. It first puts the whole digestive system into perfect order, rids it of all impurities and from the vantage ground so gaired, reaches out to every fiber of the body and restores all to perfect vigor. It cures many diseases, simply because many diseases spring from a set of common causes. The same disorder may lead to different symptoms in different people. What might be only a little indigestion in one person, may combine with a slight cold in another and result in consumption. A treatment that tones up the whole zstem is always the safest. A medicine that is good for the general health is pretty sure to cure ordinary diseases.

Invi- tations have been extended to the City Council, the Board of §.pervisors, the | press and prominent citizens to accom- pany the officers aof the road on the trip. It is probable that ceremonies of some sort will be observed at Santa Monica, al- though no formal programime has been announced. 5 The road is not completed, strictly speaking, although i¢ is to be put into service to-day. The new ecars have not and those in use on the Pasa- dena division will be run over, the line until the new ones arrive. The new cars include motor-cars similar to those now in service, but having motors of fifty horsepower, capable of making thirty-five miles per hour, and also trailing-cars thirty-two feet long, seating forty-four vassengers. The latter will have glass ends and can be inclosed when desired. No timeeard has yet been made out, but the cars will leave Fourth streetevery bour and will consume about an hourin | making the nineteen miles. The fare has been placed at 35 cents each way. This is 5 cents less for the round trip than the round-trip rate made on the other roads, except on Saturday and Sunday, when the rate is 50 cents. SANTA MONICA, Caxw., March 31.—The first car on the Los Angeles and Santa Monica electric road came down on a trial trip with the company’s officials on board. The trip was a thoroughly success- ful one, and so satistied were the officers of the line that to-morrow they will bring down the Los Angeles officials and a party of friends. They will be met here by local citizens and the train will be bombarded with flowers. s WILL ATTACK THE CITY. La Reina de la Fiesta’s Legions Prepar- ing for the Assault.

MUCH GOLD IS MISSING Over Six Hundred Dollars Taken From a Sack in a Hotel Safe. g party Loss Suffered by Two Californians While Visiting at the National Capital. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 31.—Sam- uel hiamilton, a lawyer from Los Angeles, | and William Davis, a merchant from San Francisco, arrived at the Ebbitt House at alate hour on the night of November 25 last. A day or so afterward they received a bag of gold and deposited it in the hotel safe. In a few days they departed from the hote! and took rooms elsewhere. For safety they left the bag of gold at the Ebbitt House. About the 1st of January Davis had one I of the clerks open the bag and began using from it and drew out at intervals sums amounting to $600. Davis and Hamilton went to the hotel to get the bag and take it away with them. Upon recerving it, they at -once declared hat it feit very light. The amount was ounted and the two men said that $620 ad disappeared. They are positive that when the bag was shipped from San Fran- cisco it contained $1750 in gold—all except $10 in 20 gold pieces. They have demanded reparation at the hands of the hotel management, but it is not likely they will get it. Manager Burch isinclined to treat the affair lightly, and declares that the money could 1ot have been stolen while in custody of himself or his clerks, The money in the bag Hewpnged to Davis, who says that he recently retired from the commission and liquor business in 8an Francisco. Hamiiton says: ““We left San Francisco about the 20th of November and came direct to Washing- ton on private business concerning Mr. Davis. Before we started I had $2000 in gold belonging to him, and we went all over San Francisco tryingto get green- backs but failed. So we money by the Wells - Fargo and the Ad- ams Express to Washington. After ar- riving at the Ebbitt House we went to the express office to get the money. Congress- man Newlands of Nevada identitied us. “The bag of money was carried to the hotel and placed unopened in the safe, where it remained until December 12. That day we went to New York and as we thought we might go West from there we toak out the bag of gold and carried it to New York with us. We did not unseal it, however, and Mr. Davis, at my suggestion, bought a small hand satchel in which to carry it. When we came back to Wash- ington we put the satchel containing the bag in the hotel again, & “About the first. of the year Mr. Davis commenced drawing money from the bag, and has kept a careful account of the money taken out, which has been for our expenses, The satchel was kept locked and he had the key. When he wanted money the clerk would set the satchel on the counter and Davis would unlock it, reach in and take out a few shiners. Yes- terday we went to the hotel together, and I sat down to write some letters and Dayis 2ot the bag. It was apparent instantly that something was wrong and a_count showed $620 more gone than Davis had taken.” Detectives have been put on the case. el sl Improved Telegraphic Facilities.

GLEE CLUB IN TROLBLE Berkeley Collegians- Want the Organization Under Their Control. Opposition to the Measure—Another “Civic Federation” Circular. Interesting News. BERKELEY, Car., March 31.—There is much talk among the students of the university favoring the idea of placing the management of the Glee Club under the charge of the Associated Students and of assuming control of all the movements of the club. This scheme has been in the minds of many of the most prominent and influential students for some time past, and since it has leaked out the thought of having their freedom and their established vrivileges taken away from them has been rankling in the breasts of the elub members. The promoters of the new plan claim that the Glee Club, under its present or- ganization, is not in sufficiently close touch with the student body, but is a sort of organization conducted for the good of the few under the colors of the blue and the gold. They say further that tne clubs of nearly all the other colleges of import- ance in the land have their glee clubs and kindred cluby under the management of the student Body, and not an individual or a small party of individuals. *‘As it is now,’’ said a prominent mem- ber of '96 to-day, “the U. C. Glee Club can do _wnat it pleases, go where it pleases and come when it p}eafes under the name of the university without being held ac- countable to any one but its own mem- bers. Other organizations of importance in the university,” said he, “come under university rule, and I do not see why the Glee Club should not. If it does come in closer touch with the student body per- haps the college men as a whole will get more good out of it.” The members of the club who have been known to express their views with regard to the innovation, scorn the idea vehe- mently and declare their own right to run their own institution since it was formed among a few of the students and not by a voice of the entire body. “We have been prospering under our present condition,” said a member, “and we ought to be allowed to continue in our %/'\] ~\\w"‘" %TIT‘ / BURBANK SOMERS, Director of the U.

He was seven weeks coming out, and after sending the dust down on the next trip of the To- peka will return_to the Yukon to remain another year and a hali. McQuaid exhibited his bag of gold in Juneau and it caused great excitement among the miners there, most of whom, however, are stranded and cannot under- take the trip to the Yukon. It is said there are hundreds of miners and adven- turers in Juneau without visible means of support. The Topeka left Juneau during | a violent snowstorm, which continued un- til the steamer reached the north end of Vancouver Island. LRI e DISABLED AT SEA. Belpless Barkentine Believed to Be the Katie Flickinger. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., March 31.— Shipping men her: are of the opinion that the report sent out from Tacoma to the effect that the disabled barkentine re- ported by the schooner Halcyon was the Discovery, is erroneous. Local men say it was certainly the barkentine Katie Flick- inger, which left here on Feoruary 18, with lumber for Shanghai. The disabled vessel was deacribed by Captain Ellis. of the Halcyon as a lead-colored barkentine, with double top-foremast, and the Katie Flick- inger is the only barkeatine sailing in these waters that answers this description. Captain McRay is in command o. the Katie Flickinger, and his wife has accom- panied him on nearly every voyage until the present one. She is now in Tacoma. Captain Michael Burke of Port Townsend is first mate of the Flickinger, and he was to bave been married to a young lady of Hadlock the day before the vessel sailed, taking his bride with him on the voyage, but at the last minute it was decided to postpone the wedcding until the return of the vessel to the sound e el T Body Found on a Beach.

Even if we were under.the close rule of the Associated Stadents, I do not see how the condition could be improved upon.

The club has been exceedingly prosper- ous under the management of Howard P. Veeder 96, several very successful tours through the country towns having been made since his election, besides the two concerts which were held in Sun Fran- cisco. Burbank Somers, who has been a member of the club almost since its organ- ization, is still musical director. Against the Bonds. BERKELEY, CAL., March 31.—Auother circular purporting to be published by an incognito Civic Federation” in the inter- ests of taxpayers will be cireulated in Berkeley some time before next Saturday, the date set for the special school election. ‘The dodgers will be similar in nature to the ones which appeared a few days before the last election and which_created such a stir because of their sudden and wholly unexpected appearance. Ten thousand of them were distributed in the dead of night, and when the citizens awoke the next morning their front doorsteps were covered with the circulars. The ones which are to be distributed this week are already -printed, and their existence is resumably being keptas a dead secret. he ‘Civic Federation” makes the same objections to the new bond measure that were advanced by it in the course of the last special election. ‘The circular is a four-paged leaflet con- taining in addition to the old points two new objections to the measure that is to be voted upon, which objections are de- clared to be grossly unfair and wholly un~ called for by friends of the proposition of issuing bonds. The writers of the circular endeavor to make a point by calling attention to the fact that only $40,000 was asked for gram- mar schools at the last election, whereas now $60,000 is to be vuted for. ———— A SoRE THROAT, & Distressing Cough, Asthma Oor any symptoms .Indicating & Pulmonary or Bronchial affection. are speedily removed by Dr. REDWOOD CITY SUIT REOPENED, Judge Buck Rules in Jesse - Potter’s Favor on Two - Counts. FINAL RESULT DELAYED The Court in Doubt as to the Conspiracy With Henry Miller. FURTHER PROOF IS NECESSARY in Which Briefs Are to Be Filed ‘Is Set—Text of the Judicial Order. Time REDWOOD CITY, Carn,, March 31.—In the Potter removal suit an order was made by Judge Buck in the Superior Court to-day to reopen the cause, that further consideration may be given to the question of conspiracy between the re- spondent in the action, Jesse Sheldon | Potter, -and- Benry Mller, the surviving partner of Charles Lux, deceased. Judge Buck is now in position to draw his reguldr salary to-morrow, as he can truthfully make affidavit that there is no action pending in his court where a de- cision has been withheld for a period longer than ninety days. It practically amounts to putting the final result off for a further period of about six months from the present date. While the first two points have been decided in Jesse Potter’s favor the whole substance of the trial hinges on the question of con- spiracy, and to that extent Potter is still ‘‘on the anxious seat.” In the meantime James Crowe, the special administrator appointed to act in Potter’s place, will hold over.. Thefull text of the order is as follows: In the Superior Court, County of San Mateo, in the matter of the estate of Charles Lux, deceased: In the above matter the contestant, Henry Lux, seeks to remove the respondent, Jesse S, Potter, as executor of the estate of Charles Lux, deceased, upon the grounds: First—Want of integrity. Second—Incompetence, Third—Conspiracy between respondent and Henry Miller, the surviving parther of Charles Lux, deceased. Upon consideration the first and second points or grounds will be decided against con- testant, the reasons to be hereafter given. Upon the third point the court is somewhat in doubt. A conspiracy ghould mot be found 1n the matter except upon the most careful in- vestigation. Not being fully satisfied upon this last ground, and the estate herein be- ing under good management, that of our Public Administrator, James Crowe, it is hereby ordered that this case be and the same is hereby reopened for further argument, such | argument to be confined to the third ‘question, { that of conspiracy.

ALAMEDA'S ~ INVITATION, Minneapolis Officials Asked to Inspect the Improvements of the City. ALAMEDA, Car, March 31.— The Board of City Trustees has sent a formal invitation to the city officials of Minne- | apolis, who are now touring this coast and inspecting the workings of the several municipalities, to visit Alameda. It is felt that in the matter of sewerage, and in the matte r of improved streets, and in the matter of an economically built city hall, Alameda can give them points that are worth having. If they consent to come a special effort will be made to show them those points of the municipality that have gained it fame. Alameda’s Postoffice. ALAMEDA,CAL., March 31.—The people of Alameda are alive to the importance of getting a postoffice building, and are much clated over the fact that the bill appropri- ating $100,000 for one has been favorably reported upon in Congress. A resolution w;’s adopted by the Municipal Board last night _thanking Cangressman Hilborn for hi¥ offorts with regard to the appropri- ation, and memoralizing Senators Perkins and White to assist in the good work of carrying the bill through. The City Clerk has sent them engrossed copies of the reso- lation. F Death of a Mariner. ALAMEDA, Car., March 31.—Charles Bahm died yesterday afternoon. Bahm was a skipper and the master of a schooner un- loading coal at the Pacific Coast Oil Works. He was a native of Germany, 35 years of age. He met with an accident some time ago which resulted in an injury to one of his legs. The blood coagulated in conse- quence, and death was caused b{ the formation of an embolism in the pulmon- ary artery. The remains were removed to San Francisco. Street Sprinkling Contract. ALAMEDA, CaAL., March 31.—The streets of Alameda being about all macad- mized the care of them has become a con- siderable job and many thousands of dol- lars are spent in keeping them in order. The bulk of this goes for sprinkling. . Heretofore the city owning the sprinkling carts has paid for the water and hired mg~ with teams at a stated price per day fo spread it upon the streets. This iear they will pursue a different plan an pro{;osnls to do the work, so that the low- est bidder will get it. Arada’s Suit. ALAMEDA, Car.,, March 31.—The case of Arada vs. the Alameda, Oakland and Piedmont Electric Railway Company will be heard on appeal before Justice Ogden Thursday. Semour Arada was ejected from a car of the defendant comgmny July 4, 1895, although he claimed to have paid his fare. He brought suit to recover $299 damages before Justice Morris and was av\;(a ed $200.

At 1:30 this morning Special Officer Mc- Intyre turned in an alarm of fire from box 273, situated on the corner of Stockton and Jackson streets. The flames broke out in | the laundry of Sam Sing, 238 Jackson street. The fire criginated in the rear of the place among the dingy old Chinese rookeries of that locality. 1t soon swept around, burning the tailor-shops of Tong Tai, 840, and Wong On at 836 Jackson street, then to the store of Yink Kee, 842 Jackson street. This property belongs to Mrs. W. Shuppert.

TLe Washington cigar factory at 1104 | Stockton street and Wing Chan Tong's overall-shop, upstdirs, were next attacked by the flames. The fire in the center of the block burned fiercely and the engines on the ground be- ing unable o make much headway against the flames, a second alarm was turned in, which brought the entire department into Chinatown. ‘After a stubborn fight the fire was sub- dued. Almost a half block was consumed, with the loss of profi)eny not far from $5000, mostly covered by insurance. Governor Hughes® Secretary Gets the Bet- ter of @ Man Who Attacked Him. PH@ENIX, Ariz., March 3L—Political excitement is at fever heat over the re- moval of Governor Hughes and the nom1- nation of B. J. Franklin of Pheenix for the office. Mr. Franklin has not taken an ac- tive part in the war upon Governor Hughes and seems as hearly acceptable to all fac- tions of the Arizona Democracy as any one that could have been named. The feelini between the friends and enemies of Governor Hughes continues very bitter, J. D. Bovd, a prominent Democrat, was denouncing Governer Hughes last night, when Eldridge Jordan, the Governor's private secretary, resented his words. Boyd thereupon made an assault upon Jordan, who struck Boyd across the face with his cane, breaking” the walking-stick and inflicting a flesh’ wound which bles vrofusely. Friends separated the combat- ants and the country is safe. Territorial Secretary H. C.

But every one has the same experience who applies to this ‘‘Mecca for all the sick” for assistance. Thousands of testimonials bear out the absolute truth of this assertion. For instance: ¥. Minturn, St. Louis, Mo.: “I desire to ex- press my sincere thanks for the careful and | gonscientious manner in which my case hag | been treated by you.” | "8, 2. Hooker of Los Angeles writes: “I mow | feel as though I am a cured and & well man.” | K. C.Taft of Stowe, Cal., says: ‘“Tam feeling fine without a sign of disease now.” | G.H. Bent: “By the time I get the medicine | teken thet I have now I don’t think that I will | meed any more.” | Itis asatisfactory thing to see all these ex- pressions of good opinion and good will coming in, as they do, by the hundreds daily to the bysicians of the great Hudson Institute, af- | fording further proof that if you are suffering from any curable disease there is mo place | where you will get help so PROMPTLY and | BATISFACTORILY. % | A1l the Following Cases b { st paisy; epi- 3 ds of blood vital forces: rheuma- all skin discases, from what- ; all blood-polsoning ; varic ed manhood; | spinal acd prostra- tion; incipient’ paresi v diseases: lume : sciatica: all blad stion; constipation; which are treated by the bles. dyspepsia; ali visceral disorders, depurating department.
