Breakwater at Santa Monica.
Providence in arranging tho map
of Southern California has doubt
less had special views of its own;
but, to a finite intelligence, there
are certain features of the marine
and geoprapbical programme
which, for the Immediate present,
might have been ordered different
ly to advantage. If the harbor of
San Diego were lying immediately
in front ofthe unsurpassed farming
seotion known as Los Angeles
county, or, if the splendid agricul
tural lands of Los Angeles county
aligned and laid back of the uusur
.passed bay of San Diego, much
more rapid growth of every kind
would be assured to Southern Cali
fornia. However, we have the
lands—lands unequaled in vari
ety of production and fertility—and
while we do not pretend to have a
harbor equal to tbe beautiful
spread of waters known as the bay
of San Diego, we have, neverthe
less, a number of convenient road
steads, such as the anchorage of
Wilmington, the bay and wharf at
Santa Monica and Newport and
Anaheim Landings. Wilmington,
owing to government outlays, ex
pended ou the breakwater, is rap
idly assuming the character of a
secure refuge for vessels of average
tonnage. Sauta Mouica can be
easily made, by tbe construction of
a comparatively inexpensive break
water, a splendid port. Even as it
is, Santa Monica, for three hundred
and fifty out of the three hundred
and sixty-five days of the year,
with her wharf, would serve every
purpose of commerce. Our readers
will probably recall Hon. Tom
Fitch's theory of a submerged
breakwater at that point. Lieut.
Commander Taylor, ofthe Hassler,
who surveyed the bay of
Sauta Monica minutely, confirms
Mr. Fitch's theory and mentions
the expediency of building a
breakwater there, at comparative
ly small outlay, which will make
Santa Monica a superb harbor.
When we consider that, from Cape
Mendocino to the Mexican line,
there are but two natural harbors-
San Francisco and Sau Diego—and
that, on tbo Atlantic Coasl, in the
aame distance, natural harbors
abound by the score, the govern
ment of the United States, whose
people have profiled by n coin pro
duction of the Pacific Coast which
exceeds the sum total of the na
tional debt, should construct at
least one artificial harbor. The
forces of nature and a slight addi
tional appropriation from Congress
will complete _the work at Wil
mington harbor. That port will
serve an excellent purpose. But
wheu it is considered that the
Cajon and San Gorgonio Passes
open on tbe magnificent Los An
geles valley, and point straight to
tbe ocean ut Santa Monica, provis
ion should be made for an enor
mous commerce in the future, to
which the nations of tbe storied
orient will contribute largely. A
few millions spent in making San
ta Mouica a reliable harbor would
be well expended, considering that
we can't move Los Angeles county
down to tbe bay of San Diego, nor
the bay of Sau Diego up to Los
Angeles county. Citizens of Los
Augeles, who desire lo see their
own city remain, what it unques
tionably is now, the metropolis of
Southern California, should favor
such a movement.
As germane to the subject of
which we are now treating, ami
which we havo treated before, we
quote and adopt tho following ex
cellent reflections from the .Santa
Monica Outlook, of February 13th:
In times past some over-zealous
friends of this place started out
With the declaration that Sauta
Monica bay was a "harbor." It is
a term we never used, because we
knew it was not true. Yet it is a
fact that this is an excellent land
ing—perhaps the best roadstead on
the coast. We are justified in this
declaration because our wharf is
one of the few that recently passed
through seas which swept away
similar structures all the way from
this point to San Francisco. We
have also often heard the feasibil
ity and importance of constructing
a breakwater here, privately dis
cussed, but, as yet, it has received
but little more than mere mention
publicly. ,
The advantages .of this improve
ment have gradually taken hold of
tbe minds of men of judgment and
observation, until it ii being men
tioned even at the Capitol ofthe
nation. Lieut. 11. C. Taylor, who
is now in Washington, it will be
remembered, was In command of
tbo United States Coast Survey
BtesTner Hassler, about a year ago,
making a thorough survey of Santa
Monica bay. Having spent seve
ral mouths here, he hud ample
time to carefully note the advanta
ges of this point as a port and cou
oider the practicability of construct
ing a breakwater. As there is only
need of protect ion from the south
west, he thinks a breakwater a
mile iv length, extending parallel
with the shorp, and at a proper dis
tance from laud, could he con
structed of loose stone, of which
there is an abundance in this vicin
ity. A favorable opinion from
such a source is certainly worthy
of careful consideration. But
there is no necessity, at present, of
going into details as to the plan of
construction. It is sufficient, for
the time being, to note the fact
1 lie most important , ■■•
nut it pay" the
Government to make the necesaary
appropriation? We think it will,
for various reasons. Los Angeles
county will undoubtedly be the
great center of population la
Southern California; it Is already
in rail cennection with a large
scepe of up-country, as far as Sau
Francisco, and thence across the
continent; tho Southern line is
built as far as Yuma, from which
point the road will form the first
Southern connection; the other
roads, between tbe Central Pacific
on the north and the Southern Pa
cific on tbe south, all point iv this
direction, and in order to reach the
western seaboard b> the most di
rect and practicable route, will be
compelled to fcuild through some of
the mountain passes, ali of which
open Into Los Augeles valley.
Then It is pertinent to say that the
best port ou our borders should be
properly Improved as tho great ter
minal point, with ample harbor ac
commodations. Santa Monica is
undoubtedly the place. There is no
other point between San Diego and
San Francisco where it is so prac
ticable to make a harbor for the
largest vessels and au extensive
commerce.
Some may urge that San Diego
already has a harbor. That, is true.
But it is out of the way. It is on
the extreme border of our territo
ry; has comparatively little country
suitable for settlement; has no rail
connection; is only accessible by a
good route through this county;
aud it would cost less to coustruct a
harber at Santa Mouica than to
reach San Diego by rail. It may
also be urged that the Government
baa already expended half a mil
lion of dollars at Wilmington. This
is all very well. But that cau only
be made a harbor for small vessels.
Sauta Mouica bay already has the
sea-room aud the necessary depth.
It is also well protected except on
the southwest. A breakwater will
make this the best harbor ou the
Pacific Coast.
If these statements be true, it
will at ouce be seen that this sug
gested improvement is not a mere
local enterprise; it is of national
importance. A good harbor, here,
with ample capacity, would be a
benefit to the whole belt of territory
south of St. Louis, extending from
ocean to oceau.
When Mr. Huntington tells a
Congressional Committee that the
Central Pacific lias nothing to do
with the Southern Pacific Railway
we gasp and mentally conclude
that, ou occasions, that gentleman
is not a little hatchet man. We
should n't like to entrust our
cherry trees to him if we expected
au accurate account of how they
were hacked and defaced. Not of
the "George Wnshkigtown" order is
Mr. C. P. H. Truth, verily, is
hardly a fanaticism with him, yet,
notwithstanding, his propositiou to
put a transcontiuental railway be
low the snow belt entirely under
the supervision of Congress suits
us exactly. There would be no op
pressive rates in freights or fares,
no discrimination which would
build up one town at the expense
of auother, when Congress was the
regulator. The National Legisla
ture would bo above 'countenanc
ing anything that could not be
maintained in the face of the world
as just. Col. Tom Scott, who is
asking a subsidy of $33,000 a mile
(or has it really been reduced to
830,000?) for a railway which will
only average a construction co9t of
$12,000 a mile, abounds in fine
promises. So he did in IST2. But
when did lie ever redeem any of
them? He starts out with
a fraudulent job; and, were
he successful, fraud would probably
characterize him to the end.
It is no answer to this to say that
the Central and Southern Pacific
.people are also frauds. If they
can bo reached, put the full ma
chinery of the law In motion for
that purpose, and "cinch" them
till the last unjustly acquired dollar
is wrung from them. But, admit
ting that the first subsidy was a
wrong, two wrongs dou't make a
right. The real remedy for wrongs
past and present would be a Con
gressioually regulated transconti
nental railroad.
El Eco de i.a I'atuia, a new
Spanish paper, is the latest news
paper venture which challenges our
attention. It is small but ambi
tious. With the heartiest good will
we are prepared to say to our
young friend—aven more youthful
than El Joven— go in aud win, if
you can. It's a thing, by the way,
we are trying to do ourselves. We <
are endeavoring to become a pros
elyte to the cheerful sentiment,
"the more the merrier." At all
events, it will bo all the same one
hundred years heuce. Waiving all
philosophy on the matter, how
ever, we wish our youug friends
God-speed.
The Workingmen's party must

tately. By reference to our tele

that they sustained a severe defeat
at San Luis Obispo yesterday.

Vienna, Feb. 14th.— Tbe Rus
sians are provided with a number
of torpedo boats at Rodosto aud in
tend to insist ou closing tbe Bos
phorus as a preliminary condition
to the granting of tho Firman for
the passage of the Dardanelles.
A special, dated St. Petersburg,
Wednesday, contains tho follow
ing: Late last night tbe Govern
ment received information that tbe
Sultan lias refused most pesitivcly
to grant a Firman for the entrance
of the British fleet. Russia main
tains au expectant attitude aud has
takc,n measures for the advance of
part of her troops now before Con
stantinople as soon as auy foreigu
men of war enter the straits. The
entrance of troops is not intended
as an act of hostility, hut anxiety
is felt lest au accidental collision
might occur. If tho troops enter it
is thought the Sultan will retire to
Broussa. in that event it would be
extremely difficult lo re establish
even a shadow of tho Turkish Em
pire in Europe. The Russian Gov
ernment does not, at present, de
sire such a radical solution of the
question. In view of this the as
sembling of the conference lias for
the moment fallen into the back
ground. An anti-Russian alliance
is now spoken of as a possibility.
Vienna, Feb. 14th.—Torpedoes
havo actually been shipped from

London, Feb. 14th.—A tolegram
snys the British fleet entered the
Dardanelles at day break Wednes
day. The passage thence to Con
stantinople would occupy from 12
to 10 hours.
A Vienna correspondent says:
The excitement here is daily in
creasing at tbe turn Eastern af
fairs are taking aud the excitement
in Hungary is even worse. A
Pestlt correspondent telegraphs
that the situation is regarded as very
critical. The Emperor has sent for
the Arch Duke Albreeht, Field
Marshal, for the purpose of con
certing military measures. The
Government organs maintain that
Russia has broken her word; that
Austro-Hnngary will be compelled
to march to war with England In
order to force Russia to be faithful
to her promises aud return to her
former programme. The Hungar
ian papers are warlike, but Aus
tria's independent press demaud
peace. Count Audrassy's prolonged
interview with the Emperor yes
erday and the sudden return to Vi
enna of the Arch Duke Albreeht
have given rise to endless surmises
as to the decision pending. Count
Andrassy was closeted for several
hours with the Minister of Finance.
The following appeared in Count
Andrassay's organ this morning:
The non-occupation of Constanti
nople is the foremost and most
weighty interest of Europe, and if
Russia understands, by regaining
her freedom of action, tliatjshe has
a right to hoist tho Czar's flag of
victory in the Bosphorus, then it is
time for the powers to abandon
their different categories of neu
trality and an end must be put to
the policy of au accomplished fuct.
The occupation of Bulgaria and
the exaggerated extension it is pro
posed to give the province will
never be tolerated by Austria.
Action, and energetic action alone,
can now save Europe.
Malta, Feb. 14th.—A cargo of

Constantinople, Feb. 14.—The

The Russians still declare they
will enter the city aud fears of con
siderable disturbances, should they
do so, are now entertained.
The destination of the fleet is said
to be Princess Islands in the Bea of
Marmora, thirteen miles south of
Constantinople, which, it is report
ed, England intends to occupy. A
St. Petersburg dlspatcii says the
Goyerument has information that
the British fleet has arrived at Con
stantinople. Tbe Admiralty has re
ceived a telegram that the fleet has
passed through the Dardanelles,
but has no advices of Its arrival at
Constantinople.
London, Feb. 14th.—It is re

It is understood here tlint Ad
miral Hornby's orders 'have been
changed, so that lie will proceed
with his whole force, instead of six
ships, as was first directed, and
that he is instructed to use his
guns if necessary to pass the forts.
This movement and the reported
order for the mobilization of the
Austrian army, gives a very war
like aspect to affairs and little or
nothing is heard about the confer
ence.
London, Feb. 14th.— Tne Admi
ralty has received a telogrum from
the British Consul at Cliamak Ka
lesse, on the Dardanelles, contain
ing a .report of tho passage of six
ships'of the British lleet up the
straits yesterday. The Turkish
Pasha made a formal protest at
Chamak Kalesse, but no measures
were taken to prevent tbe passage.
The Admiral's orders were to enter
the straits witli <>r without leave,
and to make arrangements to se
cure Ills rear. Tho ships were pre
pared for action.
Vienna, Feb. 14th.—It appears
certain that, in view of possible
contingencies, the Great Military

tria's objections to the peace basis.
London, Feb. 14.—1n the House
of Commons, this afternoon, Sir
Stafford Northcote confirmed tho
statements already made regarding
tbe passage of the Dardanelles by
the fleet. He also said the Gov
ernment had received a communi
cation from Russia stating that, in
view of tho fact that Great Britain
and other powers were determined
to send ships to Constantinople for
the protection of their subjects, it
obllgedßussia to consider the proper
meaus for protecting tbe Christians
whose lives aud property might be
threatened and that, for this pur
pose, the Russian Government was
obliged to contemplate the entry of
a portion of her troops into Con
stantinople. He said that the
British Government has protested
against this view, declaring that
it could see no parallel between the
two courses proposed. The Chan
cellor's statement was received
with loud cheers from the Con
servative benches. In the House
of Lords, Lord Derby made a sim
ilar statement. Lord Derby also
read a dispatch from Prince
Gortschakoff informing him of the
Russian occupation of Constantin
ople, which Priuce Gortschakoff
adds is merely a pacific measure.

Uentlemen— Several years since I took
a severe cold, which settled on my lungs
where It remained without relaxation. 1
was then in Massachusetts, and growing
worse and becoming unable toatteudlo
my business, 1 returned home and com
menced searching In earnest tor some
mediclue which would restore my IoU
health. 1 consulted physicians and
tried runny remedies, but obtained no
help and dally g.cw worse. 1 bad a ter
rible cough and ruised v good deal ol
blood. I had profuse night sweats and
severe pain In my side. 1 continued in
this state tor months.und becameso weak
that It was with great difficulty I could
walk, when 1 was advised to try WisrAK'a
Balmah ok Wii.ii Chjchky, and, to
my great Joy I soon lound trial this rem
edy had arrested the i/lseaac. L con tin
ued to use the Balsam to tbe extent orflve
bottles and have, since then experienced
no difficulty ofthe lungs. I believe llihJ
Balsam saved myllfe aud I shall ever bo|J|
