PREPARING FOR THE RECEPTION
IAN Incident at Copenhagen That Has
:. Stirred the Gallo Republic to
Its Depths.

:: PARIS, Oct. 12.-The city of Paris Is al
ready en- fete in anticipation of the arrival
:. at Toulon tomorrow of the long-expected
and much-discussed Russian feet, and the
s+ore-windows are full of rosettes, badges
and scarts representing the Russian colors.
The pictures Of the Car and the Russian
eost-of-srms are cOnspicuously displayed
d. en- ali sides.
:. .Toulon. Marseilles, Lyons, Brest. Havre,
Nantes, Bordeaux aDd other large towns
are also assuming festive air.
= :. No amount Of argument will convince
the French people that the visit of the Rus
sian squadron is not an open move upon
: the part Of the Car to show his great
friendship for France and bis determina-
tion to side with the French republic
against their common enemies. They insist
that his efforts to moderate French enthusi-
:.8sm are merely to blind other European
powers to his real attitude.
=. 1t was in this state of enthusiastic anti
!: cipation that the news reached here to-day
that the Car and CZarina will tomorrow
at Copenhagen visit the French cruisers
IslY and Surcouf. This is looked upon as
g signal to ''go on with the ball."
TOULoN. Oct. 12.-Admiral Rieunimier,
Minister of Marine. arrived here from
Paris to-day in order to take part in the
ceremonies in connection with the receu-
~iion of the Russian feet tomorrow. The
town and port are one mass of flags and
other decor ations, and it is expected that
thousands OF people will witness the ar
rival of the Cars warships in the road
stead.
LONDON, Oct. 12.-The Standards cor
respondent at Toulon says crowded
excursion trains are constantly arriving
there. The Minister of Marine on arriva al
was met at the station by the Mayor and
the heads of the naval and military forces
and given a rOusing reception. The cor
respondent of the Associated Press was
told by the officials that they are some
what anxious, in view Of the great crowds,
as to what may happen during the next
few days. The commandant at the pre-
fsctBre said that any demonstration
against any foreign country would be
promptly silenced. The commandant said
he rejoiced in The hope that the British
squadron, which was about to visit Spain,
would decide to come TO Toulon.
The streets are thronged with noisy
but good-natured crowd of people, and
shouts of ''Vive la Russie" were loud and
persistent The decorations of the city
are extensive, and tonight there was an
elaborate illumination of the bay By the
vessels of the French Mediterranean fleet.
The crush in the ci ty is such that sleeping
accommodations are exha usted, but the
Mayor OF Toulon has obtained from the
military Governor piece of vacant ground
on the Rhodes Glacis. with all the huts,
tents and straw which can be spared, and
thus will be able to provide fer 10000 per-
sons at l franc each. Even this Will not
be sufficient, and it is probable that at
:. least 10. GOO persons will have to go to the
: fields outside the town for sleeping ac-
commodatlons. Marselles is as crowded
as Toulon.

WHAT HE HAS FOUND.
Mr.. Bankhead Makes Some Pretty
Serious Intimati0nS.
There Will Be Criminal Prosecutions
Growing Out of the PostOffice
Site Business.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE CALL cor
respondent asked Chairman Bankhead to-
day if he had yet examined the papers in
the case of the San Francisco Postoffice
lot purchase, and when he would sex
pIode bis bombshell."
He said: THAT is voluminous roll of
papers and it will necessarily take some
time to carefully examine them. don't
care to tell just yet what have found, but
l will say there are some serious charges" "
"Will you send an investigating CON-
mittee to San Francisco"
81 don't know; it may not be necessary.
| think there is enough evidence in those
documents to make case against certain
parties"
SIS there ground enough to base crimi-
nal prosecution on ?"
"Yes, I think there is," said Bankhead,
laconically.
"Will any of the superior officers Of the
Treasury Department under the Harrison
administration be impllca ted ?"
'Oh. well, of course. / can't say as to
that just at present. OF course it would
be difficult to prove this" said be.
Are you aware that two of the commits
sioners who selected the Seventh and Mis-
sion-street site were Democrats appointed
by President Cleveland?"
"Of course l know that, but some Demo-
Gratis are nearly as bad as Republicans"
said Baukhead, laughingly.
Mr.. Bankhead inquired particularly
about Colonel John P. Irish; whether he
lived in San Francisco or Oakland, and
just what, if any, connection he had with
the Southern Pacific Railway as its attor-
ney or agent, openly or covertly.
Mr.. Bankhead's inquiries were of a
character which would naturally lead to
the belief that he gravely suspected the
Southern Pacific had selfish interest in
the Seventh and Mission streets site. In
deed, he even broadly hinted this to the
correspondent Bankhead said oDe afi-
davit among the papers be had was from q
man who swore that forty years ago be

OF 200 feet cut through redwood tree

What do you propose to do in the case
if it is found this sites foundation will
probably not support such a big structure
as the Postoffice building would be?"
81 don't know yet; but the Government
could sell the properly, even IL only nall
price was realized. Even so great loss
as that would be far better than to attempt
to construct building on worthless
foundation"
But If the title to part of the land Is
not perfect, as you claim, how could the
Government sell the property?"
IF part of the title is defective. the
whole purchase may be set aside and the
money recovered. perhaps, while If the
title to the whole is good, the Government
can sell"

THE Dixon Tribune joins the RECORD
UNION in a plea for the introduction of
the wide tire for all vehicles used on the
public roads when great weights are car
ried. Our contemporary urges that the
next Legislature be petitioned to legislate
so as to compel the use of wide tires on
freighting and similar wagons. The Su-
pervisors of the counties have full au
thority to legislate now, and by ordi-
nance regulate tire widths. This is bet
ter than to set up regulation under gen.
eral law, because conditions differ so
widely in the several counties that local
ordinances can be best adjusted to such
conditions without imposing hardship.

A VERY successful man, who has
achieved success mostly by using his
eyes well in search of opportunities to
profit and to conserve economy, said
recently in a business debate that he
attributed very much of his success to
the fact that he always reads advertise
ments in the press. That is not to say
that he sets him down daily to peruse la
boriously all advertising matter in every
journal he reads; but he studies adver-
Using columns, he declares, and he adds
that he can with great deal of precision
estimate the worth of the business ad-
vertised and the subject matter presented
by the character and style of the adver-
tisement. We are satisfied that this man
thus expresses a world of truth. More
over that they who fancy that any adver-
tising matter is lost or that it is not read
extensively are woefully mistaken. Ad-
vertisers who think, who lift the horizon
of their vision sufficiently, and do not
expect to find an Immediately traceable
relation between customer and advertise
ment, know that advertisements are read
most widely and thoroughly, and that it
is the indirect rather than the immediate
relation between advertisement and de-
sired accomplishment that is the key to
the greater value of advertising.

THE police authorities of Salt Lake City
have issued an order that policemen in
that city when on duty shall not stop on
street corners; shall not walk in company
with any person; shall at street intersec-
tions pause sufficiently long to look up
and down the four lines Of street to ascer-
tain if the services of an officer are sig
nailed for; shall not talk to any person or
answer any question except to give in
formation to people honestly asking il,
regarding matters within the duty of the
officer to be informed upon, and relating
to direction to places, location Of build
ings, etc. That is, the officer is not to re-
spond to trivial questions and those asked
out of mere curiosity. The officer in re-
spending must be brief and not engage in
any dispute or debate. These are good
rules, and the more commend themselves
to us in that in this city everyone of them
is constantly violated by the officers of
our force.

PREACHING AND PRACTICE.

The agitation concerning the correction
of the methods of the sensational and
prurient press of the country, presents
two curious phases: First, that the press
which is on trial has with avidity taken
up the fight for the proponents of reform,
and by conceding in words all they de-
mand, have partially disarmed them
a cunning and purely sensational press
scheme; second, that the movers in the
agitation appear TO be content with sign
ing and presenting petition.
This is much like asking the devil to be
sanity, and his highness with courtly
bow responding graciously and affirma-
lively and at once proceeding to give the
furnace fires additional draught, and to
dispatch his emissaries on new quest for
souls to damn. For while the very agen-
cies of evil aimed at by the women smirk
and exclaim Good good good ~ they
will continue to practice the old methods,
and if anything to make them little
more offensive than usual.
A proposition for reform is nothing
without vigor and action behind it. Peti-
ton and appeal never yet won against
chicane and greed. If the women want
to promote purity in the press, they must
patronize such of the press only as reflect
their views.
The press is sensational simply because
it pays. The pocket nerve is no wire
whatever to the conscience in journal
ism. and the ethics of the counting-room
has no relation to the moral code. The
press, in short, is pretty much what the
people make it. In its sensational form
it is player bidding for the largest au-
dience and presenting precisely what the
audience demands. When the boxes be-
come empty the bill for the boards will
be changed.

THE anderson Valley NelcS suggests
that the sensational press must now in
common reason manifest as much readi-
ness TO comply with the request OF the

as it does TO print the petitions and the

the new agitation. Good heavens! has ii
not yet penetrated to the depths of Shasta
County that the sensational and prurient
press never practices what it proclaims :?
