WANT CLEAN ADMINISTRATION.
Republican Lenguers of the Thirty
sixth Hold Big Rally.

The Republicans comprising the San
Francisco League Club of the Thirty
sixth Assembly District turned out in
full force last night in Harmony Hall
and gave voice to the demand of re-
spectacle citizens that the politics and
administration of the city be cleansed.
II. n. Beatty, the well-known attorney,
presided and the principal speaker of
the evening was Supervisor Fred
Eggers.
After being introduced by Beatty,
Eggers IN turn introduced the audience
to the character and quality of the men
that have been chosen as delegates to
the Republican convention. One by one
he eulogized them as representing the
best element and as standing for hon
est government. Following that the
speaker adverted to his stand with the
Board of Supervisors on the gas rates
and was cheered to the echo.
L. II. Anderson was also introduced
and/Inade a stirring speech that added
to the enthusiasm Following the
speakers came several vocal selections
by popular members of the club and
then an adjournment was taken until
a plentiful supply of refreshments was
consumed A resolution setting forth
the stand of the club against the cor
rupt municipal control was adopted
unanimously and the Republican
League was given three rousing cheers
as the members quilted the hall.

BARRETT TALKS
OF THE BOYCOTT.
Minister to Colombia Thinks
Chinese Guilds Will Soon
Change Present Attitude
AAA AAAAAA AAA

Jobn Barrett. the newly appointed
American Minister to Colombia. arrived
in San Francisco yesterday from WASH
ington and is staying at the St FranclS
Hotel. Minister Barrett. while accreo-
tied to Colombia and ostenslbly on MS
way to his new post OF duty a1ter sew
eral months service in the republic OF
Panama is here in connection with the
commercial relations existing between
the United States and China. particu-
larIy as regards the boycott inaugu-
rated by the Chinese guilds against
American products.
He insists, however. that his mission
is not of an official character-that ls'
he has not been commissioned TO come
to the coast. but has made 1t his per-
sonal business to come this way IN or
dor to acouaint himself with the feel
ing of the people of the coast as TO the
boycott and incidentally interview
sono of the merchants who are en-
gagged in the Oriental trade.
Minister Barrett. while concedlng
that the Chinese guilds are all-power-
full in their country, where they repre-
sent the bone and sinew OF the nation,
is of the opinion that the present alarm
shown by the people of this country
over the action OF the chinese is un-
necessarily exaggerated. He firmly be-
ueves that whatever grievances the
Chinese guilds have will soon be dis
pelled when they are made TO realize
that our Government is disposed to act
fairly with them in the matter of I'M
migration.
PREDICTS CHANGE OF POLICY.
He Is also Of the opinion that our fu-
ture policy as regards the Orient will
depend much upon the results o. the
peace conference between the repre-
sentatives of Japan and Russia, and
predicts that the next two years Will
witness a great change In the pollcy
of the United States. Such change
Will be attended with noticeable I'M
provement of our commercial relations
in the Far East
OF the situation in Panama. Minister
Barrett said;
Since my return from Panama have read
much in the papers to the feellng or the
people of the Pacific Coast. and especially or
the merchants of San Francisco that the open
ing of that great waterway VIII seriously NJ
feet commerce. here, in that your port will lose
much of the Pacific traffic rnat IT now enjoys.
While this may be sthe case for time, you
will eventually realize tnar the canal is a
benefit to the coast, for what you may lose IN
When the Suez canal was under construction
Bombay loudly protested that the commerce or
the Orient would pass its port and that It's peo-
ple would suffer by the fact. Instead. history
shows US that the trade at Bombay. after the
canal was finished, increased as 1t had never
done before.
