Especial Correspondence.1
SAN Francisco, Aug. 16.-M- 81. De
Young is one of the most representa-
tive men on the Pacific coast. He Is
the proprietor of the San Francisco
Chronicle and is also a politician OF
wide fame. On one Of the top floors
of the Chronicle building in Market
street he has magnificent den. In
this place the writer found him. and
pleasant chat OF an hour resulted.
Il am an enthusiastic believer, said
he ..in the future of the Pacific coast
states and in fact of the whole west
We have always been an agricultural
people, but believe we are destined in
the near future to do a large amount or
manufacturing. Among the great mar
kets of the world are China and Japan.
Since the LIST of January not ship has
left any Pacific port for the orient
which has not been compelled to leave
behind freight.
in order to do manufacturing fuel Is
needed. Up to the present time coal
has always been expensive. Freight
rates have prohibited the universal
use of coal, but the entrance into San
Francisco of another great transcon-
tinental road will doubtless lower
freight charges in due time. Many Of
the coast towns get their electric pow
er from the mountains. 1t is furnished
by the falling streams and is transmit
ted by wire. The cars in Los Angeles
and Redlands are propelled in this
way, and these and many other cities
are lighted from the same source. The
discovery of rich oilfields throughout
the southern part of the state is an
other factor which will aid the manu-
featuring impulse which has already
taken hold of the coast.
''The Spreckels are building a great
electric power house in San Francisco.
1t will supply thousands Of horsepow-
er, and this will be sold at reasona-
BILE figure. They can do this, as they
own a feet Of ships and are thereby
enabled to import coal much more
cheaply than other parties. We have
shoe factories and have already made
and shipped to Manila for the gov
ernment over $1,000 pairs of shoes.
We make glass bottles and rope. We
also make a great deal of mining ma
chinery. They are building flour
mills quite rapidly, and the entire
product of one just being erected in
Seattle has been contracted for five
years in advance.

lone year from now the Northern
Ohio Traction company's lines will
be greatly improved" said Secretary
c. F. Moore, of the company, Mon
day evening to a reporter for the
DEMOCRAT. Besides all lines and
extensions being put in the best of
repair, we will have a new system of
lights and stronger power. Our en-
tire line from Akron to Cleveland
will be double-tracked, as will also
the East Market st. line in this city.
s'Within short time we will have
but one power house-that at the
foot of Beech ST., near the canal. We
contemplate enlarging this plant
greatly both as an electric light
plant and railway power house. The
power house near the corner of Mar
ket st. and the canal will be done
away with entirely. Besides build
ing large addition to the plant, We
will put in an entirely new system
of machinery, which will give
great increase of power over the
present capacities. Instead of using
% or 80 dynamos, as we do now, only
four will be operated, but these four
will be of an enormous size, and
capable of producing much more
power than all the small ones put
together.
1.-The contract for putting in the
new outfit will likely be awarded
about September l. Prominent
among the firms making estimates
on the work are the Westinghouse
of Pittsburg, and the Elec-
trio company of Schnectady, N. Y.
''Our business has grown much |
more during the past year than any |
former year in the existence of the |
company. AT present we have not
as much light, nor as much power as
we would like to have. All of our

Special Dispatch to the Standard.


San Francisco. Aug. 14.-The reputa-
ton for incompetency that Major Gen.
eral Elwell S. Otis, governor general
of the Philippines, acquired soon after
he set his unadvancing feet on the
elaborate tiling Of a Manila palace, ap-
pears to have spread alarmingly during
the past few months. Recent reports
of his military inadequacy in Standard
interviews are abundantly substantial
ed by many men who arrived on the
transport Centennial yesterday They
assert that the United States troops are
so dissatisfied that the presence of Otis
in the Philippines as commander-in-
chief is becoming intoerable. Here
are the statements of some of the brave
volunteers who risked their lives for
their country in the Philippine trenches
and of whom General Shafter has said:
They are the riff-raff and sulkers of
the army"
william A. Donhan.
William A. Donhan, company I-Just
say for me that Otis is the cause of
disaster from the beginning to the end
Each volunteer in the islands laughs at
Otis. He never showed the least bit of
generalship, and they can count a good
many of the deaths up to him when the
time comes to figure up.
Here's little sample of the way he
does things: When We were near CAL
umpit on what we call the Two-Bag,
a cavalry colonel saw fine chance to
get good lick at the "niggers" over a
clear stretch of ground. I don't re-
member the colonel's name, but he
asked Otis about it. Otis would not
allow it. He said that ii was easier to
get men than cavalry. I suppose he
meant that horses were more valuable
than volunteers.
When we were at Apilit some insur-
gent commanders came in one night
They wanted "a hours notice. Otis was
telegraphed and granted it and then
waited for them to return. He waited
eight days. Then we were ordered for
ward. We found that while Otis was
waiting, the insurgents had taken ad-
vantage Of his eight days truce to burn
all the bridges in front of us. Had he
told us to move earlier we could have
taken San Fernando without the loss
of life. AS it was, we had disastrous
time all along the route.

Filipinos like. 1t gives them, time to
