Sunday. A day ol rest for a Chris-tian community. Number o! signers toths San l'edro harbor memorial 2 516,

Looks well in print, doesn't i ?Wonder how it p'.eaaes the S inthern

Pacifio? Probably none too well. Won-der how it pleases those who insti-gated the theft of tbe original 20,000 sig-natures?

Well, c in't please everybod ?. If thebest interests of the whole communityare conserved by it and ;he great ma-jorityof cit.x-.tns are pleased?that ou?'htto be enough. It's all tbat can bs doneby one newspaper. It's more than someaccomplish.

And mark the t0ta1?12,740 signaturesin three working days and one Sunday.Ever see anything like it before? Everread ol any public movement thatmet with such prompt and al-most unanimous response? Everhear of co many names biing sub-scribed to ? memorial In such a shorttime ?

Only 7300 names are wanted yet.

Wonder if one of them is yours.If 5000 signatures were good for Sat-

urday, half tbat number is even betterfor Sunday. It's remarkable?nothingshort ot it. This second petition haabeen a perfeot landslide from almost tbevery moment that the original listswere stolen.

It has proved more than anythingelse could prove how the citizens ofSouthern California feel on tbis import-ant issue. It has proved how unitedthey are and bow prompt to act whenthere is real need for it.

A COUPLE OP DAYS' WORK YET.Keep your eye on tbe San Pedro har-

bor memorial. Tbis one will reachWashington in a few days, now. Thereare a couple of days' work yet to do onit?a paltry 7000 names to secure yet.They will come shortly. Then it mustbe forwarded to Washington at once.And with it will be sent thu history ofthe first memorial?bow some cowardly jthieves, noting lor interests opposed totbe location of a deep sea harbor at

Southern California, stole into tbe busi-ness oflice during the dark hours andwhile there waa more or leas excitementand bustle consequent upon tbe re-moval of tbe mechanical and editorialdepartments of The Hukai.d, and stoletl.j big petition. Congress will be toldthis, plainly, and then tbe present?the new memorial of 20,000 nanus se«cured in a eingle week?tvill be shownthat honorable body.

And it will count, too. Some peoplehnve doubted the efficacy of popular me-morials addressed to congress. Look at

tbe Examiner's big petition against the

Reilly funding bill. Killed it so deadthat it anvnr can be rasusciated. Thatwaa splendid work. The RaiHy fundingbill has gone back to the committee thatreported it. The came committeewill not be in a harry to report itagain. Newspaper agitation and a mon-ster popular petition killed it.

Oh, it will hays weight. N»v.vr fearfor that. It will speak eloquently?more eloquently than auy spoken orwritten words oan speak?tbe willof the people of Southern Cali-fornia. . And it will speak witball the greater emphasis beoause it isthe second memorial enrolled; bucacaethe first one wae stolen.

MR. CONRAD'S BIG LIST.Being Sunday it who not expec'.ed

that there would ba miny list" receivedyeßleiday. Imagine tho surprise thenwhen J. Conrad walked ia with 'M longlists, containing in all 1035 names. Mr.Conrad is the proprietor of one of thelargest retail liqnjr houses in the city.He has a quaiut name ior it?The Orig-inal Mug. II one-half oi Mr. Conrad'spatrons signed the rolls Saturday?well,you cm figure it out yourself, howmany patronj Mr. Conrad'a OrietnalMug must h»ve had Saturday. Mr.Conrad is quite proud o! his achieve-ment. ' I own property ia thii city,"he said, "and Iknow what will help tomake that pro'i»rty valuable. We w.int

a deep sea harbor at Southern Califor-

nia. We want it badly, and I, for one,

am going to do nil I can to help secureit." Remember?you who have notsigned the rolls?that you can sign it at

127 South Main street, whioh ia Mr.Conrad's number.

And Pueadeno, you know, sent in 700names late Saturday eveuing. It wasnearly midnight when they arrived, «othey had to be couuted in with today'sreceipts, A C. Hogaboom sent in aliosol 150 names. He put iv Borne leisurehours out around Twenty-ninth street,

in the residence 'district. Mr. Hoga-

boom is a property owner in Loa Ange-les ?that's his interest in the matter.

And the Oarpen'ers' union sent in abunch, or a few yards, or what youmi..lit nail it. Ttrey're working men?

that's their Interest in tbe matter. Someoi them are real astate holders and somaol them ars not?but they're all parti-sans, just tha same. Ob, it's a selfishmovement?a movement tbat haa for itaend the commercial supremacy of LosAngeles and the enrichment of South-ern Cililornla.

Another selfish man who was heardfrom yesterday is E. B. Hart, tbe Re-dondo correspondent, who seat in someyards of names. He and tbe others areso eeifish tbat tbey are not satisfied withmerely signing their names to tbe peti-tion, but they get oat and rnstle in a fewhundred signatures of men wbo mightnot, otherwise, have the opportunitygiven them to sign.

THE SHIP MASTERS AND OWNERS.

Anil there's John F. Francis, the sel-lisbeat man of all in this San Pedro har-bor movement. His eeltiib interest isto ccc Los Angeles becoino greater andgreater. He Bent iv some lew yards olsignatures yesterday. The better theday the better the deed is bis motto. Hswent to church in ths morning end se-cured a tew signatures in tbe afternoon.

Commenting upon tne local end ofthe great work the Long Beach Kyesaya: "Alexander Miles, of istbe live townsman who cent up thelong list of names to Thk Herald Io beadded to tbe memtrial list, insteadof Alexander Black, us was reported bymtat aIte in the columns ol that paperlast week. Several others have workedhard in this al .-important matter, butnone co faithfully- cs Correspondent W.S. Clark, San Pedro's Ist has been ofmoro than tistisl inioortancs, as it com

prised several hundred sea captains andsailors. The jolly rovors of tbe seawant none of Santa Monica's sure deathharbor in theirs."

The esteemed Kye speaks of the oldlist, the one that was stolen. Now, itwas a thoueand pities that the names ofall theso vessel masters and ownersshould have baen stolen. Tbey made amost valuable acquisition to the originalpetition. Cannot they be enrolledagain, for the new memorial? Time isshort, but bard work will tell.

And so it goes. The movement doesnot lack tor zealous, earnest, patrioticworkers. Q. L. Clayton sent in his liralong list yesterday, and is enrolling an-other. IIyou bave a store or place ofbusiness see tbat your name ia on tbefollowing list: *

CONSTRUCTION OF A HARBOR aT SAN PEDRO,

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.

T'> the Congress of Ihe Unilrd Slates:The undersigned citizsno of the United Stntoi, re-tiding in Sou'.bern California

and adjacent territories, would reßpectfully represent:

I. That a deep eea harbor ou tbe coast of Los Angeles county is a matter ofurgent necessity, not only for tbe commercial needs of this section, but also fotbe ueea of the national government.

11. That three boards of government engineers have examine! tbe differentharbor sites suggested, and have in each case unanimously decided in favor of SaaPedro as the best location, tbeir reasons for selecting it bsin>! in each case eet

(ortli at length iv their reports to the war department, which reports have beensaid before your honorable body.

111. The only opposition to San Pedro emanates from Col lie P. Huntinjton, tbepreaident oi tbe Southern Pacific Kailroad company, who for his own selfish endsdesires the eelection of Santa Monica, where hia corporation bas a monopoly oftbe water front, and where competition by other railroads is an impossibility.

IV. In view of these facts and conditions, we earnestly urge your honorablebody to take immediate action aud make such appropriation qb will enable wcrkon tbe proposed deep sea harbor at the present session of congress.

In support of our petition we would call your attention to tbe reports of thegovernment experts authorized by your honorable body at various periods daringthe past three years to select a location for a deep eea harbor on tbe coast

of Los Angeles county ; to the riemorials of tbe Btate legislature urging the con-

struction of a harbor at San Pedro ; to the action of Transmi9aig|ippi congresa of1893-4; to numeroua petitions of the chamber of commerce of tha city of Los An-

geles, resolutions ofcity councils, boards of eupervisors aud commercial organiza-tions of Southern California; to petitions of tbe citizens and commercial bodies ofevery principal city and town ol Arizona, Utah and New Mexico, ali urging ap-propriation for the construction of a deep eea harbor at San Pedro; and to thsreeolutionß embodied in the platforms of the county conventions of all political

parties of Loa Angeles, favoring the proposed harbor.Tbe undersigned respectfully submit that there can be no valid objection nor

feasible opposition to tbe proposed harbor, and that ths urgency of tbe measure

at this time ia in tbe nature of an emergency.

'Special to Thk HeraldChicago, Feb. 3.?Tbe women of tha

Political Equality league were treatedIhy the K-v. Jenkin Lloyd Jones trtte

afternoon to an unexpected and bewtl-

' daring criticism. Jones, in apeaKing

j upon "Parties in Politics" had been de-. nouncing the strong partisanship thatwas manifested everywiiere in politics.

\ and characterized this spirit as tne most

insurmountable difficulty in the ettua-

tion.The government of cities, the speaker

declared, should at ali hezatds ne di-vorced from national politic-) and mu-nicipalities of America. "110111 we retchthe stage where national politics ceaseto enter tbe government of our cities,"

ihe said, "we can never be lifted out ofthe slough of corruption where, from apolitical staodpoint, we are laboring to-day. The influence of partisanship haabeen most disastrously felt by our slat*universities, which have been incalcu-lably damaged by it.

"Iam free to say in this connectiontbat I was disappointed in tbe partwomen took at the last election. In faotthey launched so deeply into partisan-ship tbat they injured tbeir case and

' put back tbe prospects of universal soflfjrage." Tbe spsiker thought it w»5 on I>?complicating matters to admit women to, the freedom of th - ballot if they wera to

; bsgin at once to bargaiu ou party lines

' for every public position tbey sought toattain.

During the delivery of the address anumber of women left tbe -hall, and amajority of those who remained weraapparently ao stunned by what he saidthat they were unable to reply.
