PAN-AMERICAN BOOMERS.
The senate committee on commerce
today gave a hearing to F. L. Dana, of
Denver; Howell Jones, Topeka; J. B.
Clark, Chicago, and A. P. Chamberlin,
of Dcs Moines, upon the bill introduced
by Culloni to incorporate the Pan-
American Transportation company.
These gentlemen appeared as a sub
committee appointed by tbe interstate
deep harbor commission. Ihey said the
committee was backed by fifteen million
people, and was created to look after the
welfare of the west before congress, but
especially to secure an adequate appro
priation from congress to build a deep
water harbor on the Texas coast. The sub
committee was appointed with the spe
cal object of establishing a line of steam
ers between the various ports of the Gulf
of Mexico and ports of Central and
South America. It was determined to
apply to congress for a charter. The
incorporators, they said, were men of
wealth, with acapital exceeding $15,000,
--000. Tbe committee on commerce has
not yet taken action on the bill.
TO FACILITATE FENSINON BUSINESS.
Representative Cutcheon, from the

ported favorably to the house the bill
that passed the senate some days ago,
to establish a; record and pension office
of the war department, and appoint
the officer now in charge of that work, a
colonel in the army. In its report, the
committee states that the establishment
of the office will greatly facilitate the
wori of the pension bureau, and of all
branches connected with or depending
upon the examination of records of the
volunteer army.

WOMB'S FAIR DIFFICULTIES.
The Management Embarrassed by the
Wording of the Creating Act.
Washington, Dec. 26.—The secretary
of the treasury wrote the attorney gen
eral a few days ago that the board of
management of the World's Columbian
Exposition is seriously embarrassed by
the construction that hao been placed
on certain provisions of the world's fair
act; that it is desirable, ,if possible, to
overcome the difficulty by executive
action, under the present law, rather
than encounter probable delay should
application be made for congressional
interpretation. Section 16 provides,
among other things, that "the president
may also designate additional articles
for exhibition."
The opinion of the attorney gen
eral was requested as to whether
the president is authorized to designate
additional agents not already in the ex
ecutive depaitmental force, to prepare
and take proper care of such articles as
he may designate, and perform other
necessary duties.
There is also a difference of opinion as
to the disposition of the fund of $1,500,
--000, provided for the governmentexhibit,
etc. Two wholly independent bodies
are now dispensing from, this common
fund, and the board of management is
unable to even estimate what part, aside
from the $400,000 set apart for the gov
ernment building, will finally be at its
disposal. An interpretation of this ques
tion was also asked. The secretary
wished to know whether or not the
president has the power, with or with
out the consent of the national commis
sion and board of management, to divide
or apportion said sum between them.
The attorney general replied today in
substance, that as to the first question,
he is of the opinion that the power
vested in the president includes that
asked for by the secretary. In regard to
the apportionment of the moneys, he
does not deem it advisable at this time
to determine w hat rights the president
may possess, in virtue of his general ex
ecutive authority, and says it is prob
able the attention of congress should be
called to the question.
JEVTB IN AMERICA.
Interesting Statistics Concerning Tbis
Historic ltaee.
. Washington, Dec. 20. —The division of
*' ital statistics of the census oflice has
repared a bulletin containing a sum
.nary of the results of the special in
quiry concerning the Jews in this coun
try. The inquiry resulted in the return
of 10,618 completed family schedules,
embracing 60,630 living persons on the
31st day of December, 1880, and in these
families there had been 2148 marriages,
6038 births and 2062 deaths, during the
five years ending with that date. The
social condition of the families is indi
cated to some extent by the number of
servants kept by "them, and as
•bout two-thirds are reported as
keeping one or more servants, the /fam
ilies reported may be said to be in/ easy
r cijpumstances. The average number of
'" .sons to each family on December
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD; SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 27, £90
31st was 5.71, and the average annual
number for the five years covered by
the statistics was 5.45. The average
annual number of marriages per 1000 of
the total population was much lower
than the general rate, being but 7.4,
and the average age at marriage greater
than among the general pounlation.
The low marriage rate anil tbe in
creased average at marriage, are the
principal reasons for the low birth rate.
The deaths reported for five years give
an average death rale of 7.11 per 1000
of population, being about half of the
average rate for the general population.
Contrasting the birth and death rates
for those of native born parents, indi
cates that the birth rate is decreasing
aud the death rate increasing with pro
longed residence in this country, but the
general results indicate that the Jews
here retain many of the peculiarities
which have been noted among them in
j Europe.
SEQUOIA GIGANTEA.
Bellamyltes Trying to Get Away With
the Big Trees.
Washington, Dec. 20. —Andrew Cald
well, special agent of the general land
office, appointed to make an investiga
tion as to the giant trees (sequoia gigan
tea) in the Stockton and Visalia land
districts, in California, reports that in
the Visalia district there is one small
and one large grove of giant trees. The
latter is virgin forest, and contains
over twelve hundred sequoias and many
more small trees. Some five years
ago a co-operative colony located about
forty entries in the neighborhood,
and are constructing a road to this tim
ber belt. The colony, it is asserted,
numbers about she hundred members
and has recently ingrafted the Bellamy
ideas as its leading attraction. There is
danger, the agent believes, that these
people, if unmolested, will soon destroy
this most wonderful and most perfect
body of gigantic trees in the world.
In a table giving the number and size
of the trees in the groves visited, only
those forty-five feet in circumference,
and more, measuring three feet from the
ground, are classed as giants.
Of these 2675 were found. Forty-four
are over eighty feet in circumfrence,and
several are more than on hundred. One
is 106 feet in circumference,or more than
thirty-five feet in diameter.
Secretary Noble has requested the sec
retary of war to station a company of
cavalry in the Sequoia national park, to
prevent depredations on the mammoth
tree groves. It is stated that the so
called Bellamy colonists, who have in
part perfected title to the lands on which
these trees stand, have expressed their
purpose to hold their claims in spite of
all opposition.
AMERICAN REPUBLICS.
IMMENSE COMMERCE OF THE AR
GENTINE STATE.
Large Immigration to That Country—A
Valuable Railway Grant in Colombia.
The Panama Canal Concession.
Washington, Dec. 26.—The bureau of
American republics has received a dis
patch from the Argentine Republic, giv
ing a brief summary of the commerce of
that country for the year ending June
30th, last. It appears, notwithstanding
the revolution, that the imports for the
year amounted to $175,955,000, and the
exports to $15i),627,000.
The wheat crop for the year has been
enormous, and will probably be the
largest ever grown in the country.
During the year 280,000 immigrants
landed at Buenos Ayres, of whi< h num
ber 109,000 had their passage paid by
the government.
Information has also been received by
the bureau that the government oi Co
lombia has signed a contract with J. L.
Cherry, of Milwaukee, for the comple
tion of the Cancan Valley railway, from
Buenaventura, the chief port of Colom
bia, to the cities of Calli and Manizales,
with the privilege of continuing the
road to the gulf oi Darien on the north
and the frontierof Ecuadoron the south,
and eastward to the navigable waters of
the Amazon river. This road, when
completed, will give a portion of Colom
bia,that is very rich both in agricultural
and mineral resources, access to tide
water.
The government guarantees interest
of 5 per cent, gold for eighteen years
upon the expenditure of $38,000 gold per
mile, and the exclusive privilege for
seventy years of operating a railway
within twenty-four miles on either side
of the route surveyed and accepted, the
title to all gold and other mines that
may be discovered within the twenty
four miles, and freedom from all duties
and taxes for ten years.
The bureau lias information regard
ing the renewal of the Panama canal
concession by trie Colombian govern
ment. From this it appears that the
company is allowed two years from the
Ist of January to reorganize and resume
operations; is .required to pay
for lands on the isthmus which
under the original concession were
granted them without cost, also the ex
pense of sustaining whatever military
or police guard may be found necessary
to protect the works and maintain peace
along the line of the canal. It is also to
pay the government of Colombia a bo
nus of ten million francs, and give it
first preferred stock in the company to
the amount of five million francs.
BOGUS DOLLARS.
A. Big Counterfeiting Conspiracy Un
earthed at Pittsbui-g.
Pittsbi'kq, Dec. 20. —A conspiracy to
flood the United States with counterfeit
silver dollars has been unearthed. Nine
teen persons are already tinder arrest,
and 11100 spurious coin has been se
cured. The money waß brought from
the central depot in New York to Pitts
burg, by a gang of Italians employed to
pass it. The money was all in silver
dollars, and is the best counterfeit
standard silver dollar ever made. Two
Italians and their wives were arrested
while trying to pass some of the spurious
money. The house where they lived
was surrounded and fifteen other Ital
ians were arrested, and the counterfeit
money secured. According to the infor
mation given by the prisoners, a sim Mar
gang was sent out from New York to
other cities, but tbe men could not tell
what particular cities were being oper
ated.
The National City Tragedy.
San Diego, Dec. 26. —Joseph Parisi de
llochkoffler, whoM death occurred at
National City yesterday, was the eldest
son of an Austrian banker who lives at
Trieste. His wife, who attempted sui
cide at the time of his death, is some
what improved, but is still very low, and
there is little hope for her recovery. She
is an artist of considerable merit, and a
native of Germany. They were married
in this country.
