SUCCESS OF PRELIMINARY WORK FOR
THE GREAT EXPOSITION OF 1901

increase of the home market for domestic
manufactures can only be slow and grad
ual, and there can be no expectation OF a
marbed increase in the demand unless a
new outlet be found. The consumers of
the manufactured products of the United
States will have to be found in the ORR
entail countries and the countries border
ing on the Pacific Ocean.
There is u well defined feeling that
California is destined to be one of the
greatest States in the Union. This is
based on the proposition that California,
by reason of its situation, is in a splendid
position to grasp the opportunities of
trade with the Orient both as a distrib-
uting point for the manufactured goods
of the East and as manufacturing GEN.
ter itself 1t is believed to be vastly more
10 the interest of California that some
city on its coast shall become the dis
Jributing point of this trade than any
thing else that can be accomplished at
this time
THE war with Spain has turned the
eyes of all the Oriental countries to the
United States as a first class power. The
annexation of the Hawaiian Islands and
the situation in the Philippines give the
United States commercial opportunities
such as she has never before had and
such as she may never have again. San
Francisco will have very active competi-
tors for the advantage and honor of be-
pected new commerce. Among these will
be the large cities of the Sound, such as
Seattle and Tacoma. For this reason
there seems to be an absolute necessity
at this time to draw the eyes of the world
toward San Francisco as the most avail
able port where this trade can be CEN
tered. This would be to the benefit of the

CARRENO'S
CONCERT

Following so soon in the fingerprints of
Rosenthal, as Nine. Teresa Carreno does,
everybody is prepared to judge her piano
playing by the highest possible standard.
And it will stand for the most rigorous
judgment, and for as many odious COM
PARSONS as you care to throw In. She
is q wonderful woman. Her art is warm;
rich, subtle and mature. Her playing is
authoritative informed and full of a fine
personal spell that unerringly grips you
where you live and feel Compare her
to Rosenthal and she is as poetry is to
mathematics; compare her to Fanny
Bloomfield Zeisler and the honors are
even in Beethoven and Bach and all Car
reno's in Chopin compare her to Pade
rewski and she is still a great artist, if
indeed as all others are, something less
than the fabulous Pole. First, she has
the technique, the easy effortless tech
nique that makes mechanism forgot; and
then she has the blood and passion and
poetry to make you feel the message of
the music. Her temperament is un-
bounded, and yet it always seems SER
want to a scrupulous musicianly mind
and never takes UP a fury and runs away
with everything, as I was led to expect
when l saw her heralded by the passion
ate press agent as .'the Lioness of the
Pianoforte' or 1.-The Pianka of the Piano
forte" or something equally fearful.

can lure poetry from perhaps the most
unpoetic of all instruments.
Carreno commenced with Bach in yes
terdays recital-the Fantasia Chromat-
ique and Fugue The audience, like most
San Francisco audiences, was late in COM
ing, and the struggling feet and banging
seats made it almost impossible to hear
just how well the Bach was played From
what little of it found my ears / should
say that the performance was first rate
scholarly. yet human, and, above all, elu-
cidated with happy phrase and articula-
ton. Then the crowd-it wasn't so much
of a crowd, either, / mourn to say-set-
tied down, and she played the c sharp
minor sonata by Beethoven, work of the
utmost simplicity and melodic beauty, and
Carreno played it with mastery analysis.
The adagio she gave it's full measure of
grave gray tints; the allegretto was a
perfect bouquet of fragrance and ingen-
uousness; and the allegro was taken at

ACCUSED OF HUGGING A GIRL.
Joseph Cordes, a Race Track Man,
Convicted and Held on
Heauu pondS

Joseph Cordes, a frequenter of the race
track, was convicted by Judge Mogan
Friday on a charge of battery. Thursday
evening he was on a Sutter street car and
put his arm around young girl who was
sitting on the dummy close to him. The
girl complained to the conductor, Thomas
Harris, who demonstrated with Cordes
and Cordes hit him on the face. The
Judge ordered Cordes into custody to ap-
pear for sentence yesterday morning with
out bail, but his attorney applied for a
writ of habeas corpus before Judge Cook
and the Judge released him on $40 cash
ball. but fixed the argument on the writ
for yesterday morning.
Judge Cook yesterday refused to grant
the writ and remanded Cordes into GUS
tody. He appeared before Judge Mogan
for sentence, but Attorney Coffey asked
that sentence be delayed till next Wednes-
day, as he wished to bring forward wit
nesses to testify as to Cordes good char.
acter. The Judge remarked that in his
then frame of mind he would give Cordes
the full limit, as he had no sympathy
with 'mashers'' who insulted women. The
defendant had appeared in court in an
Intoxicated condition and wanted to run
the court. The Judge fixed his bonds in
$780, but at the request of Attorney
Kelly who appeared for the prosecution
he reduced them to $1,000.

the terrific pace that serves 1t best and
sounded forth in splendid excitement.
A group of four Chopins followed, in
Guiding the G fat etude, in which she
introduced some daring and yet effective
changes in tempt, and the A fiat polo
naise, which she played with superb crash
and without making the smudge that
most pianists make of its closely knit
passages. AS Chopin encore she played
the Berceuse so deliciously and tenderly
that in spite of the ornateness and elab-
grafton in which the piece abounds. you
could almost justify it's conventional ac-
ceptance as a slumber song. Remarkable
in the second half of the programme were
the Schubert Impromptu, given with de-
lightful sympathy and broad singing tone,
and the Paganini-LisZt etude, La Cam
PAMELA" which sounded Carreno at her
best in bravoura playing.
From every standpoint except the nnan-
cal-which is sure to be better now that
the ice is broken-Mme. Carreno was a
success. Everybody who heard her play
yesterday will want to hear her again;
The few hundreds who were there stood
up and shouted at the close of the con
cent-to-day's newspapers will do the rest

BETH in the Columbia last night dis
closed Mr.. Warde in the title part, Miss
Kidder as Lady Macbeth and Mr.. James
as Macduff. An immense audience was
in attendance and the production was
greeted with considerable favor. Mr..
WardeS work was candidly melodra-
matte, and Mr.. James was much in the
same vein. A less ferocious interpreta-
ton would have been given had there
been an exchange of parts between the
male stars. Mr.. James is forceful if not
an ideal Macbeth. Mr.. Warde brings out
none of the mental side of the part; his
acting of it is largely a matter of voice
and overwrought stage business. Miss
Kidder, while of course temperamentally
too light for Lady Macbeth, yet managed
to give the lines with understanding and
to build up an Interpretation that was
consistent with her tragic abilities.
