1t was distinct omission of hospitality
ON the part of New York that no enter
tainment for the eye or stomach was pro-
yided for the enlisted home and foreign
warship crews. Some Of the men paraded
and saw the streets and crowds. but even
they were not asked to dinner. Inc
American crews did give reception to
their foreign mates. Everything was done
handsomely for the officers, bnt poor Jack
did not get as much as quld OF tobacco
gratis. A banquet TO three or four thou
sand men, with circus or theatrical
entertainment, would not have been a
heavy drain upon the purse OF opulent
New York.
1t is said that onIy one immigrant in a
hundred who lands at New York intimates
desire to settle in any of the Southern
States. Southern papers naturally ask
why the South should be passed over?
The reason is net that these States have a
paucity of advantages. Most of the lmmi-
grafton comes from Northern Europe, and
the Scandinavians, Germans, British and
Irish have many friends in the North and
West. For climatic reasons Italians have
a preference for the South, and in New
Orleans at least there is large Italian
colony.
Only very rich man can do in his life
time what Baron Nathaniel Rothschild
has done for Austrians suffering from
diseases of the chest. The VIennese were
much in need of home for sufferers. but
a scarcity of funds stood in the way. The
Baron presented his chateau in the Sem
mering with beautiful pleasure grounds
and noble estate: The value OF the
property is estimated at 5,O00,000 forms,
but the noble manner of bestowng it en-
hances the value of the gift many times.
Vienna already enjoys access to the
Baron'S beautiful greenhouse and grounds
near the city. The chateau is to be fitted
up at his expense with 800 beds. He is
one of the capitalists of the age who
recognizes the obligations OF wealth.
The Bancroft library will go, it is said, to
Chicago Uniye sity. Other plodders in his

in harmony with the shelf of volumes pub
ished in California. History has many
phases when filtered through different
minds.
There are signs of genuine sorrow in

If the law is enforced and bitter are their

fooled by their own cOuntrymen. 1t would
have been an easy matter to 60 on the

other With a Pistol.
The danger of playing with firearms
was vividly illustrated yesterday by the
accidental shooting of Theodore Gref by
his friend, Franz Bender.
Both are bakers by trade AMI reside to-
aether in a room at 249 Minna street
They have always been on the best of
terms with each other and on Thursday
evening took walk before retiring. They
were discussing the prospects of a trip to
Chicago, both to see the " orld'S Fair and
to obtain, if possible. better chances of
success in business han thew had been
meeting with in San Francisco.
Gref had purchased a cheap, 3S-caliber
rm-ilre pistol, with which to protect him
self en- route. and when the two rose at T
O'Clock yesterday morning Bender asked
to see the PISTOL. Gref gave 1t to him and,
Bender handling it in clumsy fashion, tue
pistol went Oft and shot Gref in the
stomach.
Gref was at once taken to the Receiving
Hospital. where it was found that his
chances OF recovery were very slim. But

Prison and charged with assault to mur-
der.
There is not the slightest doubt of the
whole catastrophe being due to an acci-
dent, as both tell the same story. AT the
Receiving Hospital Gref spoke of his great
friendship for Bender. saving that he had
travelled and worked with him in South
America, and that though they had been
together for two days not cross word had
ever passed between them.
Bender speaks only German, and made
his statement through an interpreter. He
was much cast down at the thought of
what he had done and appeared to lose
sight of his own condition in his anxiety
for his friend

MR.. HUNTINGTON SPEAKS.

In announcing that he would soon
assume the presidency of the Pacific
Mail Company, of which he has long
been the actual head, Mr.. Huntington was
modest as usual, but some of his state
ments may be disputed on this side of the
continent. He said that the company "has
practically monopoly of the business on
the west coast, which is very profitable,
and its business to the Sandwich Islands
aud to China and Japan is entirely salts
factory" This is not faithful description
of the situation. The Pacific Mail finds
that it has too many steamers for its
business. They are being laid up from lack
of employment. The North American
Company's steamers are too small for the
traffic flowing to them on the Panama
route.
But the Pacific Mail steamers have not
earned Tor a number of years what
they should have done. They were paid
by the Southern Pacific and its allies
to carry as little cargo and as few passen-
gers as possible. As competitors in traffic
they might just as well have been laid up
III dock. They were adjuncts of trade kept
IN bondage by the Southern Pacific as quite
subservient 10 its main business. While
thls was Ine case as far as 1t could be car
ried with the Panama trade, it was also
the case with reference to China and Janan.
In imports from the Orient the aim in
view was only TO develop ocean CON-
merce as far as it would help the
long haul over the railroad. San Fran
cisco merchants were pushed cut of the
business in favor of the East Steamers
arrived only to transfer the greater part of
their cargo to cars alongside. Even the
Pacific Mail was not allowed to do all the
carrying. 1t was and is held in check by
line of English steamers chartered by
the railroad. Trade with Asia is regulated
as feeder of transeontinental transpor-
tation. Such g-in-the-manger dis
eliminating policy has had its effect in
running down the port of San Francisco
as an emporium with very superior ad-
yantages. Much of the trade which

THE WORK OF ENFORCEMENT.

The Chinese registration law provides
that any Chinaman who ''Shall be found

cial. collector of internal revenue or his
deputies, United States marshal or his
deputies, and taken before a United States
Judge, whose duty it shall be to order his
deportation from the United States as
herein nbefore provided"
The argument has been advanced that as
the law gives certain designated officials
the power to take the initiative in deporta-
tion. there is no necessity for the President
or heads OF departments to issue orders to
commence arrests under the act. There
would be some force in their argument if
the President, through the department.
had not issued orders not to make arrests.

ART AND CRITICISM.

One of the well-known artists of San
Francisco states that the exhibition Just
opened of the San Francisco Art Associa-
ton is OF average quality. but that there
may not be so much work as usual He
adds that there would be more exhibitors
If the artists could be assured of proper
criticism in the press" Quite what is
meant by "proper criticism" is not defined.
To some 1t may occur that certain eaus-
ITCHY and fearlessness of comment, au-
dacious and truculent, yet not absolutely
unjust. might result in there being fewer

preston of opinion. each in his own indi-
vldual case. They are very rarely CON-
petent critics themselves. being surcharged
with bias for their own school and artistic
Ideals and unable to avoid intolerance for
other methods and aspirations. What
they are entitled to expect is a
fairrmnded description of what they
have done and the manner of realizing
their conceptions. The criticism is rarely
of any value helpfully to the artist in his
work technically, and it is by no means q
sure guide to the public in forming its
judgment upon what to purchase, what to
leave alone and what to admire. The
strongest critics frequently contradie t
each other diametrically. and the judg-
ment of the hour is in a large proportion
of cases not the verdict of the public
eventually. II is not that the critics are
unconscientio6s or vindietiye or un-
founded in reasons for their opinions. 1t
is simply that there is room for diversity
and even contrariety of view. Just as
twenty painters will depict the same land
scape in twenty ways, so may the same
number of critics write different things,
some in censure. others in praise. about
tile same subject. Any one may test this.

whose wife obtained a divorce on the
ground of cruelty over year ago, was the
subject of some rather pointed remarks on
the part of W. H. L. Barnes yesterday
morning.
Wolff appealed the case itself and also
appealed from the order denying a m motion
for new trial, and also from the order
directing him to pay aImonv and counsel
fees. he now owes Mrs. Wolff S170O in
unpaid alImony and several hundred
dollars to Barnes. Hence the appearance
OF the latter in eours yesterday.
Barnes got quite excited over the short

freely characterized in uncompromisine

He said his only compensation consisted
