AT the Pittsburg Cha mber Of Com
merce banquet last Friday night. Sir
Chentung Liang- Cheng. Minister of
China to the United States spoke OF
our commercial relations with that
country, and plead for a fair field and
no favor for bis people here.
Senator Knox's speech was careful
exposition of the Roosevelt policy OF
dealing with rate regulation. and he
held that it was the duty OF Congress to
deal promptly with the problem.
In his speech he punctured the sophis
tries and Misrepresentation by which
the railroad interests have attempted to
becloud the issue and oppose the policy
urged by President Roosevelt. He
showed that no railroad has anything to
fear from the law unless 1t is welded to
unjust and unreasonable practices; re-
futed the Misrepresentation that it il
proposed to vest any department Of the
Government with the general rate-mak
ing power; demonstrated how the cor
porate interests are protected by the
right of appeal from hasty or injurious
findings. and pointed out that the
corporate alternative OF final decision
on rates by the United States courts
conflicts with the constitutional theory
as laid down by the courts.

Every Jew, man woman or child, who

EARLY CALIFORNIA SHIPS.
How Commerce Grow In Pioneer
Days of the Golden State.

How Commerce Grew In Pioneer
Days Of the Golden state.
The first European vessel to enter
the port Of San Francisco of which
there is any record was the Eagle, in
1916, commanded by Captain William
III. Davis. She sailed from Boston via
the Sandwich Islands and Alaska. She
carried an assortment of goods which
were a revelation to the natives, and
their garments Of skins and hides were
substituted by the clothing Of civiliza-
tion. Payments were made in hides,
tallow, soap and fish. The Eagle then
became engaged in the sea otter trade
and was very successful as otters
were plentiful In San Francisco bay
and all along the coast. She made
three trips, netting about $4,000 on
each trip. This stimulated others, and
this discovery no doubt gave an i'm
petus to commerce which made this
port known to the world.
Commerce in those days Of mama
was carried on In what might be term
ed free and easy" manner. On
many articles the duty was 100 per
cent, which practically amounted to
confscation or made smuggling neces-
sary In self defense. The Mexican Of
fcials generally opened the door. Ere
quently vessels were permitted to pass
Monterey, the port of entry, going to
Yerba Buena and, after selling as
much Of the cargo as possible, to re-
turn to Monterey for entry and dis
pose Of the remainder.
The shippers were not sworn as to
the value Of the cargo. They gave fic-
ttIous invoices and by this means
would get of on the payment Of $4,000
on a $4,000 cargo.
1t became so customary to swindle
the government as scarcely to excite
comment, except in cases where goods
were concealed In false Innings Of the
vessels and the government officials
were outwitted.
