The morning call., 1892-09-29

CabTillO, impersoDated, has landed al San
Diego and has been received in much
grander state than he was $50 years ago.
The only element of the great throng lining
the beach that Cabrillo would recognize
was the Indian contingent, and yet there
is conspicuous amount Of change in the
red man as he is seen to-day compared with
what he was. OF certainty the red man IS
not so simple and guileless as when Callfor-
MIA was taken possession of in tee name OF
far-away Spain. The festivities at San Diego
are in fine spirit. and it is pity there are
not more onl0Okers.
Puglism is apparently not the noblest Of
professions. If any one is fitted to adorn it
in a gentlemanly way it is Jim Corbett.
Yet the champion has had to eat the lsek
In a refusal TO admit him as a guest at a
certain Eastern hotel. He was turned
away not on his own account, but because
the cream of society In the wake Of cham
pions is not select and desirable. This
hotel must cater to a very select company
of guests, accustomed to dine upon pea
cocks brains and to listen to rhapsodies
from poets too eminent for public fame.
Corbetts farewell to the hotel clerk must
have been pathetic.
The TeutOnic of the White Star lire has
had another remarkable run across the At
lantic westward. The total time between
Queenstown and New York is days q
hours and minutes. But in steamiug
westward the clock stands still five hours,
and in going eastward il marches ahead five
hours, difference which explains why the
eastern and western voyages always vary a
few hours in time. Such runs as 49i. 495,
494 and $50 miles per day show that the
modern steamer is quite as reliable as the
locomotive on land In traVersing dlstan ces.
All this Improvement, too, has been
achieved within very short period.
The poor emigrant from Hamburg is
much to be pitied. The Cunard Company
has turned him ruthiessly adrift in Liver
pool and he and his fellows are roaming
the streets homeless and destitute. Find
ing that United States ports are practically
closed against immigration. the company
offered to return the fares of German immi-
grants who had taken tickets and were
awaiting passage in Liverpool. majority
of the detained passengers refused TO ac-
cept, and now the company has declined to
pay their board and lodging and they are
turned out into the streets destitute. 1t Is
very harsh conduct. IL the emgrants hold
contract passage tickets they can recover,
and that quickly too, in the English law
courts. The corporate authorities Of Liv-
erPool may also have case against the
company.
A British man-Of-war is said TO be on the
way to Bering Sea to harmonic matters
between Russian cruisers and sealing
schooners within prohibited waters. The
demonstrations made by Russian cruisers
are new. bat il is well known that Russia
has never receded from her claim that these
waters are under her jurisdiction. To that
extent Russia supports the claim Of the
United States. Great Britain will not
recognize the claim il she can help it. No
serious trouble is likely to arise. The ar
bitration with the United States will settle
the whole matter one way or the other.
The election OF General OF the Jesuits is
an event of great significance to vast num-
bers of people throughout the world. A
grand c0nclave of representatives 10 re-
ported to have been held in Spain for this
purpose, and the chO ice is said to have
fallen upon Father Martin, a Spaniard II
is also stated that not since the feun dation
OF the order, in the sixteenth century, has
an election of General been held outside OF
Rome. There must have been some reasons
for This departure, but the uninitiate are
not permitted to enter into the secret.
The arrangements now appear to be ma
turing by which the Hopkins mansion. on
California street. will be transferred to the
State University for art PURPOSES and the
San Francisco Art Association will come
into "cheap lodgings" 1t is a satisfactory
prospect for art, and it sadly needs encour-
agement in our midst. The prospect would
be still better II there were an endowment
TO support the gift of the mansion. The
university has no funds to spare, and the
Art Association is generally in desperate
straits. Some of the other Dalatia mansions
on Mob Hill. if sold off. would afford de-
cent endo
The mountain climber cannot 60 very
much higher than he has done in the Hindoo
Koosh. Whymper's ascents of the CHM
borazo are mere trifle to the conquest Of a
peak $4,000 feet high. with others still high
er in the neighborhood. This feat has just
been accomplished by Mr.. Conway. who
has been 1000 feet higher than any one else
on terra trina. Balloons have gone much
higher, but the aeronaut has no eXertion
ard not nearly so much risk as mountain
eering. Therefore, notch for Mr.. Con-
way.
Ii nothing else has been achieved by this
cholera scare, the world is likely to be bet
ter off from our improved knowledge of the
absolute Importance of good water supply
in cities. Hamburg owes its cholera in
vasion TO bad water. The water supply is
foul with sewage impurities, and cholera
germs thrive under such conditions. 1t is
something horrible to read Of the bad sani-
tation of this great city. which has long
boasted of its intelligence and enterprise.
as soon as Hamburg RECEIVERS 1t will see
that its water supply is placed above sus-
pIcion.
A train-robber has just been released
in Missouri, and very likely he will soon be
heard of at his old trade. To keep a crim-
