SENATOR FLINT RETURNS
FROM INSPECTION TRIPS
Needs Of Harbors investigated and
Plans Matured for Securing
Further Appropriatlons

Senator Frank P. Flint has returned
from a trip up the coast, where he
spent four days completing an inspec-
tion Of different towns and harbor con-
ditions. He was accompanied on the
trip by Congressman Hayes of San
Jose, Mckinley of Santa Rosa, Smith
of Bakersfield and Needham of Mo-
desto.
The senator stated that, with the in
spection of the Eureka harbor. the
party completed it's tour of coast cities,
having gained much valuable infor
nation regarding their conditions and
needs, which will assist them in their
requests for government aid at the
next session of congress.
The Eureka harbor was found to be
in very poor condition and will be es-
pecially looked after when congress
meets. The Humboldt bar is causing
considerable trouble, and efforts will
be made by the California delegation
to secure an appropriation for gen.
eral improvement of this harbor
Senator Flint also stated that he is
very sanguine of securing further ap-
preparations for the San Pedro harbor.
He believes San Pedro will develop into
one of the most important harbors on
the coast of California, and when the
Panama canal is finished will be the
hope of Los Angeles for her portion Of
the prosperity sure to come from the
oYa1,ir,cr Of ba canal
The Importance of the harbor, to-
gether with the favorable conditions
which already prevail, will be strong
arguments in favor of further appro-
priations by congress, and the work,
which has been pushed to so satisfac-
tory a stage already, will be continued.
Senator Flint will remain in this city
until June 6, when he goes to Phoenix,
Ariz., to meet the irrigation committee
of congress, and will accompany it on
it's trip through the state and to Hazen
New, where the water will be turned
onto $4,000 acres of land under the first
of the government irrigation projects.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The action
Of an army officer aboard a govern
ment transport which recently arrived
at San Francisco in forcibly placing in

identity as an officer was not disclosed
until he had been ordered below. He
was Immediately released and an
apology rendered. After weighing evil
dence the general staff has written a
letter to General Elliott explaining the
facts and suggesting that as the whole
matter arose from an unfortunate mis-
take it should be dropped.

BY Associated PrAss.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-"The treaty
of Shimoneseki, which brought to a
close the Japanese Chinese war, guar

Japan will not violate the terms of that
treaty. Statements that the Japanese
government contemplates removing the

and are circulated with mischievous
purpose in view"
This was the comment on the ST.

that reports Of this character were in

Is no ground for this government to in

tween them.
Acting Secretary Loomls of the state
