SOUTHERN PACIFIC BRANCHS
Several to Be Built at Once in
Los Angeles County
LOOP ROADS ARE SELECTED
A Line From Banning to Salt Lake
Considered
A Road to Be Built From Pomona to Chlno,
Riverside and San Bernardino—Another
Prom Santa Ana to Long Beach
PAN" FRANCISCO, May ».--•(Special
to The Herald.)— The Southern Pacific
company proposes to adopt a very enter
prising policy in Southern California,
and will henceforth pursue a decidedly
aggressive campaign against its great
competitor, the Santa Fc. This change
of line ol action will be announced by
the construction ol a number ol now
branches, some of which the officials will
not give any information about at
present.
The ones Which I havo been a Die to
learn of are as follows: The first one to
»c built, and one which is now under
.'onsttUction. is tho lino to I'asadcua,
which leaves the main line at It.tmona,
and which will be a spur from tho Mon
rovia branch, leaving the latter nt West
Alhambia and entering Pasadena by way
of tho Rayomnd site. Plans for a mag
niticent depot have been accepted and its
construction will commence in a few
days.
Another projected branch is to leave the

main line at a point just east of 1.1
Monte, and is to extend to San Dimes,
provided that a right of way is given by
the property owners.
An important line which has been De
cided upon is one from Santa Ana to the
terminus ol n branch extending from Los
Angeles. The extension s to be built to
Long Beach, where it w. 1 join the road
to San I'odro, thus formin ' a loop line
through one of the richest i. td most pro
ductive portions ol Southeri California.
Another loop lino will be built ns follows:
Leaving the main line at Pomona, the
brunch will tap Chino, getting the beet
sugar factory's business, thence to South
llivcrsido and Riverside, thence by
taking in tbe Colton motor roud
to Colton and Sun Bernardino.
This road, together with tho pro
posed branch to San Dimas, will give the
Southern Pacific a stronger hold on the
orange business than is now possessed by
■the Santa Fe.
» A project not yet decided upon, but
favored by several high officials, is the
construction of n line to San IHego from
Santa Ana, and most important ot all tv
Bouthern California is tho possibility of
.a lino Lake from Banning, through
tho Moronyo pass, but these ate yet to
be decided upon. J, R.

at Santa Rosa
SANTA ROSA, May 25—John P. Over
ton, cashier ol the Santa Rosa Savings
bank, was found on tbe ro>d near here
tonight in an unconscious condition.
His nose was broken and his face badly
lacerated. He had driven a servant girl
to Bellevue, where she went to spend
Sunday with her parents, and it is
thought that on the return trip his horse,
which was a spirited animal, ran away.
Xj trace of the horse and buggy has been

It is feared he is suffering from concus

THE POLITICAL HOROSCOPE
Chit-Ch.t About the Candidacy of Harrison
and Morton
ALBANY. N. V., May 26—VI do not
believe that there is any foundation for
this talk that Governor Morton has made
nn alliance with e\-Prcsiiicnt Harrison
tn bring about tho nomination of another
Harrison and Morton ticket in 1S1KI,"
said John Palmar, secretary of state.
"Mr. Morton has been vice-president
once, anil the office probably has no
further attractions for him. Besides, the
fact must be considered that he was elec
ted governor of Now York in 1801 by the
remarkable majority of l.'iu.OOu and' that
his course as governor has been highly
satisfactory to his fellow citizens, irre
spective of party. I think that, popular
as ho was when he became governor, he
is a much stronger man today, for as the
chief executivo of the state he has carried
out the general will in a variety of ways.
"Much as I respect Benjamin Harrison,
I am convinced that Levi V. Morton is
tlio logical candidate of tlie New York
Republicans for the presidency. If bo
desires tbe nomination, lie will have a
solid delegation irom New York state to
the national convention. To my mir.d it
appears to be the drift of Republican
sentiment iv this t-tnte."
NEW YORK, May 'J. -Two months be
fore the Saratoga, convention last year
the Evening Telegram i said the Demo
cratic nomination lor governor would be
offered to Hon. YV. C. Whitney and if he
declined to accepti tbo uotninaiton would
go to Senator I). Ti. Hill. That .was ex
actly what happened. For the benefit of
the Democratic editors who dined at Del
monico's lust evening, and others inter
ested in the movements of Democratic
lenders, the Evening Telegram wishes to
stats its belief that in the next national
co vention Mr. Whitney will receive the
solid support of the national administra
tion and of Tammany for the lirst place
on the tickei. If elected, Mr. Whitnev
would likely call Mr. Hill into his cabi
net, and W. 11. Grace, in the event of the
election of a democratic legislature, would
succeed the senior senator.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY

Mrs. Stanford
SAN FRANCIBOO, May 25.—The
pioneer graduating class of Stanford uni

ception by Mrs. Stanford at the Stanford

house was thronged with students anil
faculty i>f the college. Mrs. Stanford
made a short address in which she said
the university had passed through
troublous {times and more than one crisis
during the past two years. Mrs. Stanford
said that the government suit against
the Stanford estate is the cloud that now
hangs over the university. Should it be
decided against the estate tho university
would have to be closed and should it bo
long in litigation the university's re
sources would be much crippled.

THE HERALD
LOS ANGELES, SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 26, 1895.-TWENTY-TWO FAGES
LONG LIVE QUEEN VICTORIA
Celebration of the Anniversary
of Her Birthday
NO SIGNS OF ABDICATION
•
Grand Celebration of the Day in
London
Rein Spoiled Some of the Features ol the
Demonstration at Victoria -Her
najesty Is Feeble
' Associated Tress Special Wire.
LONDON', May 25.—The birthday ol
Queen Victoria, the anniversary of which
occurred yesterday, was officially cele
brated in this city today. There was
great excitement along Pall Malt aa tho
Prince of Wales, -Duke of CaniDrldgc and
Nnzrultah Khan rode through on the
way to the horse guards parade. The
Afghan prince was clad in a scarlet uni
form tiimmed with gold lace. He wore
a fez shaped astrakhan cap. The Princess
of Wales and her daughters, the Duke
and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg-ilotha, and
the Duke and Duchess of York were pros
en t.
Seventy-six years ago Queen Victoria
was horn and while her mental faculties
aro not in any >vay impaired by tbe
burden of years, tha physical ailments
have increased to such an extent as to
make state duties well nigh impossible.
This fact too was emphasized recently
by a long conference between the mother
and the Prince of Wales, in which at
least two of the members of Lord Rose
bery's cabinet tooa part. The queen has
at various times in the past year inti
mated a wish to abdicate, nnd especially
was this the case at the wedding of Prin
cess Victoria Melita of Saxe-Cobuig to
Prince Kmest of Hese, but no action has
been taken.
The celebration of tbe queen's birthday
was made noteworthy, Sho is at Osborne
and received addresses from every, portion
of the realm and gilts ns varied ns the
climes and nations under ler kindly
away.
Her life today is one of supreme peace.
While cabinets change and ministers
come aud go, she moves on in her old
age, curing to only hear of industrial
progress, of charitable movements and.
strange to saw of royal weddings. She
is a born matchmaker, as ardent today
to sco royal Uivera muted, as in her
earliest life. No event of recent jenrs
has given her so much ] leusure ns the
prospective marriage to the Duke of
Acuta with the Princess of Orleans. It
is sald'that she personally dictated a let
ter to King Humbert urging him to sanc
tion, the up ion. and among her (atest lit
erary souvenir's are two bright epistles
.from the lovers thanking her for her
kindly intervention.
A day with the queen at Windsor, «t
Osborne, in the highlands or at Chniez,
where she has been, residing lor some
weeks, ate much the same, i'orhaps iv
the southern .clime she dares to move,
about more in the open air, since her
i heuinstio pains are npt so great us in
the damp, foggy atmosphere of England.
Still, walking with her now, is really im
possible. Those who support her hardly
allow her feet to touch the ground, anil
so she gets some exercise with a mini
mum of effort. . ..
She is an early riser and her tire wo
men are always'up and about at •« in the
morning, attending to eveiy detail for i
the queen's comfort the moment she
awakes. At 8 she is carried out of her
bed. and it is the work of an hour to at
tire her, so feeble is she, and so heavily
hang the many years on her fragile flame.

tending to arrest the advance of the

Driven back, they retreated and eventu

and persistent, amid volley riling that

sition at the point of the bayonet, hoist
ing the admiral's Hag.

Oscar Wilde to Be Immured in
a Dungeon
STRICTURES OF THE JUDGE
The Esthete Receives a Scoring at the
Hands of Justice
Imperturbable to the Last, the flan of the
Sunflower and Chrysanthemum
flakes a Denial
Associated Press Special Wire.
LONDON, May 25.— Oscar Wilde's trial
having reached the final stage, the Old
Bailey court room was filled witlt inter
ested spectators today. Sir Frank Lock
wood concluded his add/ess to the jury.
The prisoner's intimacy with Lord Al
fred and the exhibition of a younger man
by an older one at hotels and public
places in and about London were com
mented upon. Refeiring to the letters
Wilde wrote to Lord Alfred, counsel said
the jury had been told thoy were too low
to appreciate such poetry,anu he thanked
Cod it was so, for it showed they wero
above the level of beasts. (Applause
which the judge promptly suppressed).
Sir Knward Clarke, leading counsel for
Wilde, here interposed objections to such
appeals. Luck wood asked the jury to re
turn a verdict which would prevent such
a detestable and abominable vice to rear
its beau unblushingly in this country.
Justice Wills began summing up at 1:30
p. m. The general tenor rjf his address
was favorable to Wilde. Tho jury retired
at 3:30 p. m. The jury returned at 5:30,
having been absent four hours, and re
turned a verdict of guilty.
During the address of Justice Wills to
the jury the foreman asked whether, in
view of tho intimacy between Lord Alfred
Douglas and Alfred Wood, one of the men
whose name has been brought promi
nently into the case, a warrant for Lord
Alfred's arrest had ever been issued. The
judge replied that he thought not. The
foreman then asked it it nud ever been
thought of.
To this the judge replied that lie could
not say. He added that the suspicion
that Lord Alfred Do' g'ns would be spared
if guilty simply because he was Lord Al
fred Douglas, was a wild idea and a mat
ter which they could not discuss. The
OSCAR WILDE
From a receut photozrapli.
present Inquiry was a? to whether tho
man in the dock was guilty of immoral
practices with certain other men.
The jury found Wilde guilty on all the
counts of the indictment, including the
charge with reference to persons un
known, who were also pronounced guilty.
This probably refers to the Savoy hotel
evidence, to which place Wilde was ac
cused of taking Charles Parker, a gentle
man's servant, after treating tho latter
to a choice dinner in Kittner's restau
rant. The announcement of tho verdict
caused n great sensation in the court, as
t was the general impression that Wilde
would be acquitted.
When the foreman of tlie jury delivered
the verdict, Wilde, who had entered the
prisoner's dock a moment before, rose
from the chair on which he had been
seated throughout the trial and stood
with his arms on the rail in the dock.
The silence which prevailed throughout
tlie courtroom was really painful as Jus
tice Wills ordered that Alfred Taylor
should be also summoned before him.
Then in n voice trembling with emotion,
the justice said:
"1 never before had such a case as this
to deal with. To men such us you are by
ihe Datura of your crimes lost to all sense
of remorse for what you have done. To
think that you. Taylor, should bo the
keeper of a mate brothel, that you W'lde,
v man of culture, should bo such a pcr
vertcr of young men. Thero is no doubt
but that ihe verdict is a just one. ana
1 shall give yon the full penalty allowed
by law, ana I only regret that it is not
more severe. You arc both sentenced to
hard labor for tho term of two years."'
Wilde dpi not look a„ the judge while
the sentence was being pronounced, tils
eyes roved around the room and his face
never changed color, and ho looked like
a man who had made up his mind to
mace the best ot a bad situation. Taylor
smiled when the sentence was pro
nounced.
While the jury was out, at t!io request
of a representative of the Associated
Press, Wilde's counsel procured tho fol
lowing signed statement from Wilde:
"The~churges against mo are entirely
untrue. Youth in every form always
fascinated me, because it has naturally
that temperament to which the artists
try to attain. AH works arc works pro
duced In the momonts of youth. I have
no senso nt all of social grades. 1 love
society and the rich and well-born on ac-
I count of their luxury, culture, grace ol
their lives, external accents of n comely
life. Hut any one, plough boy, fisherman,
street arab has an interest for me, mere
humanity is so wonderful. I doubt il I
can nsk of the young what they do. Theit
lack ot culture leaves them open to fresh
and vivid impressions.''
As Wilde turned it) the duck and started
to go back to the nrisoners' room, the
crowd yelled, "Shame, shame!" This
shouting caused Justice Wills to rise and
exclaim in a loud and determined voice,
"Silence, silence."
During the time the jury wus debating
on the verdict Lord Douglas strolled out
ol the court room and into tho court
yard, where be walked about, nervously
smoking a cigarette. His face still
showed traces of his recent encounter
with his father, his left eye being much
discolored. During the final stages of
Wilde's tr-al today there was an immense
crowd in front of the Old Bailey, and tho
windows of nil tho neighboring houses
were tilled with highly interested specta
tors.
