SOME of the good people of San
Francisco are a~pprehensive that the
defeat Of the Rsvenswood bridge COM
promise will injure that place very
materially. as they are afraid that the
import and export trade of the State
will o be established OH the eastern
shore OF the bay, near the mouth of the
estuary OF San Antonio. The Oakland
people feel quite elated, and some Of
them expect that in twenty years Oak
land will rival san Francisco, as it is
OH the right side of the bay.

this district are very scarce. There
are not enough to supply the demand.

terms, AID We believe that there Is
money to DO made out OF the most of

CALEFORN1A.
THE JAPANESE BANQUET-REy, MIR.

Tile JAfANEsE BANQuET-REV. MR. STEB-
BINS HITS CALIFORNIA POLITICIANS. 90
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25.-Near the close of
the Japanese banquet last night remarkable
scene occurred. Elk Gov. Height Democrat,
IN responding to the sentiment "the State of
California, warmly welcomed the embassy,
saying God had made of one blood all men
who dwelt on the face of the earth and that this
embassy marked new area in the progress of
civilization and humanity
Rev. Horatio Stebbins then responded to the
sentiment ''the spirit of American commerce.
He welcomed the embassy fervently saying we
here are providentialy placed in new relations
with the exclusive civilization. The changes
wrought by trans-contnental communication
have changed forever the area of commercial
distributions for this city. We can never do
the business of the Mississippi Valley and
probably shall not extend our inland CONNER
clal area beyond the summit of the great noun
tam CHAIN. To compensate for that we must
gather the1slands of the sea and push our trade
TO the lnnumerable population of the Asiatic
world. But our position is anomalous; while
we are here tonight wooing the commerce of
the old empire your Governor r(pointing to
Governor BOOTH as the head of one political
party (Republican) and ex-Goy Haight as a
representative of the other, are committed to a
policy to exclude those people from our shores
The position is absurd and ridiculous and as a
policy it is nonsense, and as a principle it is
nowhere. 1t is rag-tag and bobtail If any of
your cheap politicians have won a penny by it
in the passions of an hour, beware when you
put that penny in your purse lest the eagle on
the reverse OF your gold coin strike his talons
through and scratches the face of liberty.
The widest excitement followed with round
after round of applause and finally three
cheers from nearly the entire company of guests
far the speaker, the main portion of them gath
ering around to shake hands with him
Governor Booth rose in evident excitement to
say when he should become accustomed to such
ex-catheder denunciations, he would probably
like them, and after few words more went on
with the regular order of toasts
The incident is regarded as very significant of
the change in public opinion of the Asiatc i'm
migration. u -.L. ..-.l.--a III W.
