RICH TIME FOR
FRISCO ONTRACTORS
j., J. BELSER RETURNED THIS
MORNING FROM A VISIT TO THE
STRICKEN CITY.

j. j. Belser returned today from a
brief trip to San Francisco. He ar
rived in San Francisco Immediately
following the disaster. He went up
ostensibly for vacation trip.
Belser reports that the opportunities
for contractors are very great in that
city Contracts are being turned down
constantly by the contractors. The
chief difficulty is lack of labor. High
wages are being paid day laborers and
as for teams, the wages far in excess
of reason are being paid 1t is not
likely that the local firm of Lord and
Belser will go to San FRANCISCO to try
and do any work but the matter will
probably be considered by them.
Belser says that the insurance COM
panies are causing the greatest trouble
and annoyance to the people who held
policies with them In many cases
the San Francisco insurance agents are
refusing to give out any information
and are referring insurers to the main
officers, some of which are in Europe.
Some of the polidies specified that
claims should be filed within sixty days
and upon a certain form of application.
But the agents are refusing to supply
the insurers with such blank form so
that the APPLICATION can not be made
out.
Hearth is making a remarkable re-
cord in aiding the people in San Fran
cisco. He has Belser says. thought of
many means of aid that other persons
have not suggested. Hearst has now
undertaken to force the insurance COM
panies to take some steps, looking to-
ward the payment of the claims a
gainst them.

brokers, who went up to San Francisco
some time ago to look over the finan-
cial conditions there since the fire re-
turned this morning on the S. S. Man
churia. He reports a very bright out
look for the future there and says that
he was amazed at the spirit the peo-
pie there show since the great disaster.
Hawaiian securities i'm San Fran
cisco are standing up WE'LL" said Mr..
Brown today, and l believe that they
will continue to do So People up there
who are holding them consider them
their best investment since they have
had their incomes cut off. Very few l
believe will be brought back here to be
handled. They are standing up well
and believe that they can for the most
part to taken care of there.
"There has not been a drop i'm any
values there to amount to anything
and the reason lies in the fact that the
banks are under every thing and are
holding up the situation. For instance
man comes in and tells bank that
he is unable to meet certain obligations.

not worry but let them do it. In this
way men are not forced to place what
stocks they have on the market and
thus cause a depression in their price.
"The spirit of the people is wonderful.
Men who had built up a business work
ing for the past twenty years and who
were about to leave for Europe with
their families have cancelled all book
ings on transatlantic lines and have
settled down in the harness to build
their business up again.
Real estate values in many ms
tances are higher than ever Only a
few of the timid ones are getting out
The people who have gone to Oakland
are advertising that they have done sc
only temporarily and will move back
to San Francisco as soon as it is pos
sible.
"Safe deposits for the most part
were intact. I saw line of people foi
many blocks, waiting to get into the
deposit boxes of the California Safe
Deposit Company. l overheard many
of these say that they were going tc
move their securities to Oakland, but
when they got into their papers and
found that they were all right they sim
ply left them with the company.
"Yes San Francisco will rebuild and
will do so without any great depression
of San Francisco securities as the banks
are holding them up. San Francisco
has wonderful population"

SUBSIDY FOR
PACIFIC SERVICE
PosToFFIcE APPROPRIATION TO
OCEANIC'S COMPENSATION.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-The Post
office appropriation bill will take care
of the Oceanic service in the manner
provided by the ship subsidy bill,
which passed the Senate but appar-
entity is sidetracked in the House.
The Senate Committee on Postofices
and Post Roads, believing that there
Is no chance for the shipping bill to
pass at this session, has taken from
that measure this subsidy provision:
From a port of the Pacific Coast of
the United States via Hawaii and the
Samoan Islands, to Australasia, on
steamships af the United States of
not less than sixteen knots speed for
a service once in three weeks at a
maximum compensation not exceeding
$217 900 a year in addition to the COM
pensation now provided under the
existing contract for ocean mail serv-
ice between this country and foreign
ports
Under the shipping bill there were
eleven routes subsidized but the Ocea-
mic service is the only one in existence
that the committee says absolutely de-
mands at this time compensation in
addition to tina provided by exising
contracts.
The committe expects to conclude
it's consideration of the bill Thursday
next and report it to the Senate.

The Princess Ena, now the Queen of
Spain hereafter to be known as Vic
toria Eugenie is the only daughter of
the Princess Beatrice, youngest daugh-
ter of Queen Victoria, and Prince
Henry of Battenberg. Her full name
is Victoria Eugenie Julia Ena. She
was born October "a, 1887. She has
three brothers. 1t is said that her
marriage with King Alfonso is a pure
love match The young couple met
about a year ago when Alfonso was in
England. After the match was de-
cided on the Princess was received into
the Roman Catholic Church The match
is not very popular in England, largely
no doubt, because of the young lady's
conversion to Catholicism. 1t seems
to be popular in Spain. The young king
has certainly borne himself as CHI
valrous lover.
The Princess accompanied by her
mother left London May "a for Spain.
The departure of the princess from
Victoria station was the occasion for
an enthusiastic demonstration on the
part of the Spanish colony while

CARTER
ON DECK
TODAY
THE GOVERNOR RETURNS IN Ex-
CELLENT HEALTH AND WILL
GET ON THE LID TOMORROW.

Governor George r. Carter returned
this morning on the Manchuria, in the
best of health and spirits, and tomor-
row he will take hold of the adminis-
tration again. The governor was ac-
companied by Mrs. Carter, who has
been with him during his trip to the
coast, and who is also in excellent
health. Carter expressed himself as
feeling fine as a fiddle" and very glad
to be back again in his home land.
81 am delighted to get back to the
country in which 1 was born" was the
first thing the Governor said, "and am
more than ever impressed with the
opportunities for making the country
better and more prosperous. 1 am feel
ing well and strong again, and ready
to take up the duties of office and do
what 1 can for the country"
The governor was asked as to the ex-
periences of himself and Mrs. Carter in
the great earthquake, during which
they were in the Hotel Del Monte. we
went back to bed after the quake" said
the governor. mo, it did not throw us
out of bed, though it wakened us, of
rible to us.-I suppose we did not ap-
preciate its great force and signifi-
canoe. We went back to bed after the
shock without realizing what disas-
ter it was, and we told others who were
frightened and who had never been
through an earthquake, what it was
"I do not think the disaster will have
a bad effect on us. San Francisco will
rapidly become big city again. 1t is
remarkable and lucky fact that the
big waterfront warehouses and the rail-
roads suffered little, and they will keep
up commerce between San Francisco
and other ports.'
! The governor left his children behind
here when he went to the coast and he
had the pleasure of finding them in fine
health when he returned this morning.
He has been to Southern California
and other parts of the Golden State. on
a trip prescribed by his physician, after
very severe attack of grip, and
though the vacation and rest were
rudely interrupted by an earthquake
that might have spoiled any ones va
cation, he has greatly recuperated.
Late this morning Governor Carter
called at the Executive chambers, but
ne left Atkinson still the acting gov
ernor Several of the department heads
called to pay their respects. Tomor-
row. as is stated by an official adver-
tisement published today, the transfer
of authority will take place, and AtlSin-
son will become merely Secretary OF
| the Territory
This afternoon the governor was a
visitor with Surgeon General p. M. Rix-
ely, U. S. N, at the Moana Hotel. Gen

ROLPH
SCORES
A COUP
MANAGER OF THE CROCKETT
REFINERY SCORES AGAINST HIS
COMPETITOR.

The Examiner of May q, says:
Do you use sugar? Then you will
enjoy hearing how the sugar trust tries
to put its competitors out of business
and how a California sugar company
has the laugh on the combination OF
which H. o. Havemeyer is the head.
Some time ago, when growers of SUI
gar cane in the Hawaiian islands had
the prices of raw sugar fixed for them
by the all-powerful trust and the trust
did all the refining and fixed the prices,
all was well for the magnates, but a
small cloud has lately arisen in the
sky, which has aroused the crushing
instinct of Havemeyer and his associ-
ates.
The California and hawaiian Sugar
Company, formed of San Francisco
and Hawaiian capitalists, most of
whom are interested in sugar raising
in the islands, refused to accept the
arbitrary price of raw sugar set by the
trust and determined to open the re-
finery at Crockett which had been
closed since the last time that local
company tried to break into the ex-
elusive business of Jne trust.
The new concern was not looking for
war in prices and delivered it's prod
uct at the same rate as prevailed in the
trust ruled market. 1t secured its share
of orders, but even the comparatively
small amount of trade which was di-

Much Activity in Coal Road Stock Es- pecially Reading-Day's Strength Ap- peared Only in Spots.

penred Only in Spots.
 New York, Sept. 14.-operations on the long side of the stock market were resumed in sufficient volume to-day to effect turn from the downward course of prices in progress yesterday. The days strength was spotty, strength at one point contrasting with heaviness at others in the process of profit talk ing. The room trading element was skeptical, and put out short lines on the advances. The principal operations centered in the coalers, especially in Reading, Much of the activity in that stock was attributed to long standing pool. Rumors to account for the move ment revived reports of an intended investment of ownership of coal prop critics by the railroad companies This report has reappeared at intervals ever since the publication of a judicial de- cision which seemed to indicate the H. legality of the present ownership of the means of production for the material transported as freight by the coalers Details were not forthcoming of the plan, but the speculative assumption was that large profits would accrue to the railroad companies from the pro- eeeds of the new arrangement. Others stocks which were notably strong had special causes assigned. There were some conspicuous gaps in the line of advancing prices, and some recent leaders were held back throughout the day. The per cent. dividend came off the price of Union Pacific, and instead of attracting demand there seemed to be selling by those who had held only until the dividend should accrue to them.
 A number of industrials figured in the days advances on developments in the special trades in which they were interested, or in the affairs of the cor porations themselves. Estimates to the ! bank statement pointed to a favorable return tomorrow and this was used to encourage the speculation.
 The first advance in the sterling ex- change rates to-day decreased the com mand by New York on gold in London. | Attention was given to a report also of | semi-otficial statement of the unwilling 1 ness of the Bank of France to release gold for shipment to New York. A fall in sterling exchange at Paris to-day lessened the prospect of gold moving from that center to London, which has been canvassed as an indirect method of renewing supplies available to the New York demand. The late furry in money was attributed to the prepara- ton for some large dividend payments due tomorrow, the principal of which is the $6OOO,0OO payable to Standard i oil stockholders This proved a re- strain on any sympathetic response to the buoyant upshoot in Reading, and I made an irregular closing.
