the Herald office the report of Senator
Frye's remarks at San Pedro we deliber
ated about publishing them, and were
only led to do so by a strong conviction
that a newspaper ought to tell the truth.
The readers of this journal expect this
office at our hands and have a right to
expect it. In addition, we knew per
fectly well that they would be reported
in the San Diego papers, and if we had
suppressed them it would have been said
that we were afraid to give them pub
licity. As this journal has access to
ample data which establish the present
importance of San Pedro, and to official
document* which show what could be
done there by a reasonable expenditure
of the public moneys, we were not afraid
to give what Senator Frye really said,
and felt perfectly able to hold our own
in any discussion that might follow.
Monday's San Disgo Sun reproduces
what Senator Frya said with great glee,
under the headings, "He Wants Los
"Angeles to Move to San Diegc—The
"Senator From Maine Knows as Much
"About Back Country as Harbors—He
"Praises San Diego." After this gushiDg
introduction, the Sun proceeded to give
what Mr. Frye eaid, as reported by Chair
man J. C. Fisher, of the San Diego
Chamber of Commerce. We reproduce
it in para'lel columns with the account
given of the Senator's remarks by the
Herald reporter:

As the Herald remarked the other
day, it gives it great pleasure to know
that Senator Frye's remarks were only
jocular, and we are quite willing to ac
cept big own interpretation of them. It
was only, however, after Gov. Stanford
had interposed with clear and forcible
THE LOS ANQELES DAILY HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 31 1889
remarks that the jocular theory was de
veloped.
As a public man, Senator Frye is bound
to examine into tbe matter fully and dis
passionately, and be could find in the re
ports of Gen. Alexander, Col. Mendell
and other responsible engineer officials
of the government, very convincing rea
sons for hoping for the creation of a eur
viceable port at San Pedro. As to the
claims of this section for an artificial
harbor created by national expend
itures, Gov. Stanford put the mat
ter very Happily when he said:
"Back of this harbor lies one of the
"most wonderfully fertile sections oi
"country in the whole United States,
"capable of supporting an enormous
"population, and already inhabited by
"half a million of people. It is rich in
"stores of minerals and blest with one
"of the most perfect climates upon the
"globe. It is all undeveloped, yet
"enough has been accomplished to fore
"cast its future. To the North there is
"no port nearer than San Francisco, 500
"miles away; to the South none
"nearer than San Diego, over 100
"miles away." The California Sen
ator again remarked: "There are plenty
"of independent reasons why the city
"should be located where it is and no
"where else. Besides, it is rather lato
"to be changing its location."
Here we leave the matter for the pres
ent, having vindicated the accuracy of
the Herald's report and accepted the
theory that remarks that seemed to
evince a very hostile animus were purely
jocular, commending the jocularity
specially to oar San Diego contempo
raries, who seem to look upon them as
decidedly serious. The Democratic Sen
ator, Morgan, of Alabama, took a very
favorable view of the situation at San
Pedro, while Senator Hearst, who was
not present Saturday, but has alwayß
expressed himself very heartily in fa
vor of adequate appropriations for the
work, had visited the place and closely
inspected it, several times previously.
A Practical View at Los Angeles
and the Boom.
The father of Emma Abbott was out
to this country lately, and he wrote back
his impressions to the Minneapolis
Spectator. He had been all over the
State, but his opinions were decidedly
favorable to Southern California in the
comparison. He says:
In going to Los Angeles I carried my
prejudices with ma till I rode through
the city, and saw the beautiful resi
dences and business houses. Instead of
sandy streets and fleas, I found it well
paved, with clean streets, and good
brick, stone and iron blocks on all the
principal streets, surrounded by stately
mansions with evergreens and flowers
that cannot be seen ia Minneapolis.
But one of the finest suburbs near Los
Angeles, and the most beautiful
in Southern California, is owned
by W. A. Nimocks, one of the former
proprietors of the Journal of Minne
apolis. The Champs Elyeee in Paris
cannot lie any handsomer, as far as the
banks of flowers, evergreens, arbors,
grottoes and walks are concerned. Near
tho dwelling, on a high elevation, which
loaks down on tho broad acres of ever
green, ia alfalfa, of which they cut from
seven to eight crops a year. Strangers
looking over the city of LO3 Angeles, of
70,000 inhabitants, should sea this beau
tiful place.
Mr. Abbott, who signs himself "Undo
John," had evidently been loaded up
with the usual stories which figured in
the Minneapolis papers concerning
Los Angeles. The calumny abou'
fleas existing here in any great
amount was certainly one of the most in
defensible of these. He was also primed
with all the stories current in his home
papers while the boom was at its height.
He puts a great deal of sense in the fol
lowing remiaiecence:
Pasadena is also a fine place, and a
few towns on tho coast, San Diego, Santa
Monica, Santa Ana, and some other
towns,nre allright,aud good places to live
in, but give me for residence Los An
geles for the year round, cool nights in
summer, good society, etc. Real estate
has settled down to bed rock, with a
tteady growth. This is a good time to
%\xy residence property, as the sharks
that gave it a bad name have nearly all
been run out. Their mode of operation
was to buy some large tract of land ten to
thirty miles from Los Angeles, survey it
into small lots, run a motor line to it,
get up flaming bills, and with a brass
band, free ride, free lunch, free drinks,
raise men's brains to fever heat, during
the excitement sell the lots out to the
new comers from Boston and other
places, till they had disposed of lots for
five to ten times the value, then clean up
the luncheß, drinks, and clean out men's
packets, salt down the cash, take up the
motor track, and put it down in another
place, five miles away, then another
flaming bill, for the new comers, aud
ready to swindle them out of their shin
ing gold.
This convert to the substantial attrac
tions of Los Angeles undoubtedly exag
gerates a trifle in the foregoing. That
thing of taking up motor tracks and lay
ing them down in another place to induce
buyers is a trifle too heavily flavored.
The fact is that, while it was a
wholesome thing for Los Augeles
that tbe boom was checked in
time, and the check really came from onr
own conservative bankers, the prices of
real estate in this city were never rela
tively half as high as in Portland, Tacoma
or Seattle, and scarcely as high as those of
Spokane Falls. There will be a great
revulsion of opinion on this point inside
of a year, when peapie come flocking
down here from the North. Still "Uncle
John" dees us eubstantial justice, and it
is somewhat surprising that hisj arpibions
obtained circulation in the columns of a
Minneapolis paper.
There is a strong movement ort foot to
organize the Democratic party of Los
Angeles county thoroughly, and it is a
very sagacious one. It should be abso
lutely free from boss dictation and per
sonal aims. The peculiar local Repub
lican administration in both the city and
county of Los Angeles has bad a great
tendency to weaken that organization.
The general trend in the country is sup
posed to be adverse to Gen. Harrison's
record thus for, although this is not the
celebrated off year, and the party may
•how up pretty well in the Eastern
States at the approaching elections. If
the people were allowed to express,
their will at the polls in this county,
however, there could be no possible
doubt of what the result would be. It
would be a wholesale repudiation of the
Republican bosses. The development of
corruption in the County Clerk's office
and the high-roller administration of our
city affairs would guarantee that result.
The Democratic situation in the county
is much improved by the fact that the
secession of Orange county takes off a
large slice of the Republican ma
jority. While it is somewhat
early, and the elections, city and
county) ought to be uncertain
quantities, we think we see a spirit
abroad in Los Angeles county that justi
fies organization wiih an almost certainty
of success. A Democratic club in every
precinct of the county will bs a groat
guarantee of victory next fall.
There is less interest in the races this
year than there ought to be. The mis
take of dividing up the attractions ought
never to be made again. Of course the
rains had something to do with the
Blackened attendance, it is a curious
fact that the announcement of a rac?
proaranimj nearly always puts J. P. on
his mettle in Loe Angeles «ounty.
It is generally understood that the
Sewer Commission will perfect its work
on Friday, and be ready to report at the
meetiug of the Council on Monday mxt.

Annual Report of Brigadier-
General Miles.
HIS VIEWS ON COAST DEFENSE.
Estimates and Recommendations of
Needed Appropriations—Other
Coast Mews.
I Associatcu Press Dispatches to the Heeald 1
San Francisco, October 30.—Tho an
nual report of Brigadier-General Nelson
A. Miles, commanding the Division of
the Pacific, was mado public today. Ho
states that there are 6,000 troops i.. this
division and that the administration of
military affairs has been satisfactory.
He declares that suitable and immediate
appropriations should be made for the
construction ot buildings where it is ad
visable to locate troops in large garrisons,
and states that points should be occu
pied near large bodies of Indians, and on
tbe Mexican and Canadian frontiers and
along the Pacific Coast.
The General calls attent ion to the "die
proportionate appropriations for the one
fourth of the army serving is the Divi
sion of the Pacific during the past fifteen
years," and ho gives figures showing
that the Divisions of the Atlantic ami
Missouri have in that time roceivod for
improvements, fortifications, etc., $21,
--500,000, while the Division of the Pacific
has received but $805,000.
He recommends that $500,000 ba ap
propriated for this division for the con
struction of quarters and barracks. The
report deals at some length with the
subject of desertions, and the General
makes a number of rccommenditior.s,
among them being that enlisted men
who have served fiva years and pass.id
the necessary examination ba commis
sioned Second Lieutenants and raceive
honorablo discharges if no vacancies are
open for them.
The repo:t closes with a lengthy state
ment on the subject of coast defenses.
The General says: "The condition of
this coast is one to tempt the avarice
and cupidity of any fonrth-rate naval
power on the globe, and that it could be
occupied by any firat-claes naval power
is a fact apparent to any thoughtful and
well-informed citizen."
It is estimated that it would cost
$30,068,000 to put the coABt in a proper
condition of defense.
General Miles makes the following
recommendations: That $250,000 be
appropriated to secure the titles of stra'
egic points necessary to be occupied for
coast defense ; that $1,000,000 be appro
priated for the construction of a gun fac
tory on the Pacific Coast, and that $25,
--0 be appropriated for the construc
tion of the most improved and effective
guns aud war materials.
The report of Major John I. Rodger-: on
the subjact of coast defense is submitted
with General Miles' report, and contains
the following estimates of tbo cost of land
defenses on the Pacific: Coast: San
Francisco, $15,033,000; Columbia river,
$1,555,000; San Diego, $512,000; Pugat
sound, $11,626,000; Sitka, $742,000.
'111. HIUH'S NICKEL.
The Railroad Commissioners Can
not Return It to Him.
San Francisco, October 30. — The
Board of Railroad Commissioners met
this morning. All of the members were
preeent. After the reading of a letter of
Miguel Uinchita, complainiug of the loss
of his hay by rjiu, due to the alleged
negligence of the agent of the Southern
Pacific Company at San Fernando, Com
missioner Rea moved that the matter
should be referred to Traffic Maneger
Richard Gray. It is doubtful whether
thfe board has any jurisdiction in the
matter of fixing damages, so no recom
mendation to pay damages was made.
A letter of C. H. Woods, complaining
of the detention of Jii-i household goods,
which he moved over the California
Southern lines from Alejandro to Dag
gett, and for which he was charged an
excessive freight rate, was also referred
to the Traffic Manager of the linos over
which tho goods were traneferred. A
communic.tion from the advance agent
of the "California on Wheels," com
plaining of the five cent extortion, was
laid on the table, the board having no
jurisdiction over street railways. The
Secretary was instructed to inform Mr.
B'gh of the board's inability to consider
tbe loss of his nickel. His complaint
was against the Colton motor lino.
Very Like Murder.
St. Helena, Cal., October 30. —Last
Sunday Oiissi Cacdetti went hunting
with an acquaintance named Juhn Zaba
dina. Not returning, a eer.rching party
atuired out to hunt for him yesterduy,
and hia dead body wa3 found in the bilk
hack of Hirsch's ranch. The back part
of his head was blown off by a gun shot.
The Coroner was summoned, and after a
march Zibadina was found and arrested.
He confessed that he shot Candoiti, but
claimed that it wus accidental; hut rb he
said nothing about the matter until
captured, and had left the dead body
lying there two days, his actions are re
t»«r.!ed with suspicion. The Coroner's
jury rendered a verdict recommending
that he bo held to - tand trial for murder.

the Proposed Union of the
Americas.
i Associated Press Dispatches to the Hebald
Kansas City, October 30.—When the
All-Americans awoke this moroiog it was
raining, the first rainy day since the
journey began. Among the places vis
ited here were the smelting and refining
works, where each of the delegates were
presented with a silver medal Eouvenir,
the size of a silver dollar. Upon one
side are the heads of Presidents Harri
son and Diaz in relief, with the inscrip
tion: "Greeting." On the other side
are the words: "Reciprocity," "The
United Americas," "Commerce." Min
ister Romero, of Mexico, returned
thanks in behalf of the delegates. The
party then returned to the hotel for din
ner.
After several speeches were made,
United States Delegate Henderson spoke
enthu6Mß'ieallv„ saying the newspapers
of England, Spain and other (jauntries
nave been asking what we meanby this
conference. Henderson's impression is
the courtphip is a serious one and will
result in a happy mirriage. "We have

P'irpooe to act.' We pnpose to bcild a
line of railroads through to the Isthmus;
we are going to have immense lines of
steamers running from every port in
America and tending at every important
point in Central and South America. We
have a mi sion of peace in this country
and not of war. If war comes we tell
Mir European friends we are ready for
it, and decidedly shall we be ready for it
after the glorious marriage shall be con
summated. Give us a union of the
Americas, and for pface and for war we
shall be invincible. They u*ik what sort
of a union of Republics are you going to
cement? I say, in the language of one
of our American poets:
"Give us a union ol the lands—
A union so th*t none may sever;
A unioa of hearts, n union of hands;
A uuion today and a union forever.''
[Loud applause.]
Dr. Silva, ot Columbia, spoke, saving
that Senator Henderson had expressed
his ideas and thoßo of his colleagues.
The time had come when the Americas,
North, South and Central, should draw
closer together and be bouud by closer
ties, not only of commerce and interest,
tut of brotherhood and love. Now that
the United Kntos has extended the
hand of fellowship to these Republics on
the South, old Spain, who had entirely
forgotten there were daughters of hers
ou this continent, was making great
haste to show that she had always loved
them much, and wanted to bring them
into the fold again.
Tbe guests attended the theater to
night, and at midnight left for Spring
field, Ills.
