Local Conditions.
Especial to the Advertiser.)


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17.-Joseph
Sadoc Tobin, who was defeated for the
mayoralty in San Francisco at the last
election, has returned from Honolulu,
where he went to forget the cares and
veXations of the campaign. and to
avoid answering questions as to why
he was beaten. Mrs Tobin and her
brother, Harry Dimond. came back
with him. Mrs. Tobin is delighted with
Honolulu, and cannot say too much in
praise of the pleasures of life there,
and the hospitality of the people. She
said that she had a very gay time and
enjoyed herself immensely. She speaks
very highly of the abilities of Homo
lulu people as entertainers, and has
learned a number of ideas to put in
practice in her own home.
The Tobins have been fashionable
society leaders here for a number Of
years, and among the younger set are
very popular They will resume their
place and participate again in the
round of receptions, balls, teas and
jinks with which San Francisco .socie-
ty is dissipating the holiday season.
The Examiner says:
Joseph s. Tobin returned yesterday
from Hawaii, whittier he went in No
vcmber for rest and recuperation after
election. Mrs. Tobin came with him.
also her brother, Harry DimOnd, who
has been in the Islands for two years
In addition to a thorough enjoyment of
his vacation, shooting wild goats ana
plOver, and fishing in the deep sea, Mr..
Tcbin found time to observe conditions
in the Islands. What forced Itself upon
him was the evil of unrestricted ORR
entail immigration into Hawaii
Honolulu and its vicinity" he said,

ese. l talked about them with promi-
uent men and housewives. The Chi
nese are preferred to the Japanese.
because the japanese in the Islands are
obstinate and surly, and have such
great idea of their own Importance
that they object to taking orders
Il would hate to see the japanese
come to California. l was Informed
that a great many of them left Hawaii
last summer and came here. In the
Islands the Chinese and japanese have
entirely displaced white carpenters.
You cannot get a stronger argument
than is at hand in Hawaii against per
hitting Chinese and japanese to come
into the United States. l noticed their
carueutars working on new buildings
in Honolulu. in fact, the Chinese and
Japanes. do pretty nearly everything
that can he done, and with only a lit
tie apprenticeship.
Il think the exclusion act should ap-
ply to the japanese as we'll as Chinese.
In Honolulu they pay Kanaka steve
dores on the wharves $3.50 q day. and
;he Japanese do the same work for
81. so. They are steady workmen and do
n great deal of work. There are far
more Chinese in and about Honolulu
than Japanese. their pTeponderance OF
numbers being very remarkable. II

Until / see a copy Of Wilcox's bill"
said he, Il cannot very well express a
detailed opinion. To any movement that
looks TO sending lepers here from the
4 United States I am opposed. The settle
ment is a local affair; the care of lepers
began with the monarchy, and continu-
ed through the provisional government
and republic. Their conditions and needs
have been carefully studied through all
these years, and now the care of lepers
has been developed to its highest point
The people of the Territory are willing
TO take care OF their own; the popula-
ton at Molokai now is almost exclusive
" Hawaiian and the introduction of a
foreign element into the settlement could
not but create dissatisfaction and cause
endless trouble.
The exchange of the expense of car
ing for our unfortunates for lepers from
all over the United States and its accom-
{ panying troubles, win not be a benefit
to the Territory. Hawaii is willing to
] take care of its own. It always has
( been, and there is no reason why il can
not do so in the future The introduce
! ton of a foreign element to share the
privileges Of the Hawaiians cannot but
cause discomfort. Communities in the
! United States afflicted with leprosy
would no doubt be glad 10 foist them up
on Hawaii, If a national settlement Were
established here, for it is everywhere
/ looked upon as a loathsome disease.
For another thing, there is limit to
/ tht accommodations at Molokai. The
settlement there has many natural ad-
vantages. which makes it not a prison,
OF segregation. Not q great many more
lepeTs could be cared for there, even il
the settlement were placed under nation
al supervision. The settlement occupies
only the peninsula, which is shut off by
; the mountains on one side and the sea
on the other, and the space is limited
the present area cannot be extended.
Il should think that Delegate wilcox
was enough acquainted with conditions
here not TO introduce such a bill"

Corson Clarke will present st the
opera house Saturday night, April
q.
"What Did Tompkins Do?" is said
to be a play brin full of American
life, wit and humor. There is not an
offensive line nor q questionable situ-
alton in it; yet without being exag-
geratedly farcical it provokes con-
stant laughter. At the same time it
has been declared to be no less true
to human nature and the social vari-
eties than is the most serious prob
lem play.

adequate to his expansive taste and
expensive habits. Naturally he is
often at his wits end to raise the
wind-yet truth to say, not SO much
for self-indulgence as to carry out
his ever generous, though often haz-
ardous, schemes.
Mr.. Clarke's supporting company
includes Rose Swain, Percy Sharpe,
Anne Hathaway, Max Steinle, Jane

weeping because. as I slowly got to

ter too little attention had been paid
TO me - the kotow OF ceremonious
reception into my new status had not
been deep enough to make amends to
her heart for its partial loss OF me.

change which is coming Is pathetic
and full OF etiquette; Il is at once so
Jealous and SO unselhsh. Because her
sense OF the ppoprieties will not allow
her to do so much longer she comes to
