driven the white men and women into
the bay.
Nov, however, when it comes to
the disappearance of Chinatown,
many difficulties have arisen one Of
the first of these is that many of the
Chinese own the title to the land in
Chinatown in fee-simple. These peo-
pie will resist dispossession unless
paid an eXorbitant price for their land.
If any attempt is made to eject them,
outside the law it will speedily be-
come a Federal matter. The Chinese
government will complain and the
Federal Government will intervene.
While the matter of individual Chinese
owners might be settled by large pay
ments for their land, the Chinese Gov
eminent owns q large piece on Stock
ton street. which 1t occupies as Con-
sulate General for this coast. The Chi
nese Government will not sell that for
any price, as it would be derogatory
to its dignity to do so. 1t will there
fore be impossible to eliminate the
Chinese entirely from this district, but
l
would be an Improvement highly to be
desired.
"A phase of the matter which is not
unamusing is this: Nearly fifteen hun
dred Chinese have taken refuge in Los
! Angeles, many of them wealthy Chi
nese merchants. They have assured
the Angelenos that five thousand of
their cnuntrymen will follow them
from San Francisco If they are hos
pitably received. They have gone fur
Their and have assured their hosts that
San Francisco's large Oriental trade
was due to the existence of the Chi

RED CROSS RUNNING
MORE MEAL STATIONS.

Last night three meal stations, or
community kitchens, were turned over
to the Red Cross Society-the Lobos-
square kitchen, near Fort Mason, which
had been running for five days under
army supervision; one at the intersec-
ton of Scott and Bay streets and one
at the foot of Jones street. The Red
Cross is to introduce a careful system
of distributing meal tickets Mt these
kitchens. The agents are to be held
personally accountable for those issued,
and restaurant keepers will be com
PEELED to keep strict account of the
tickets received and to turn them back
to the officials of the society.
The sewing schools under the super
vision of Miss Lucille Eaves, at the
Hearst School, are now in excellent
working trim, and women and girls are
kept busily engaged in making all sorts
of garments.
At the camps in Golden Gate Park

of Los Angeles taking anything away

STREET RAILWAY PEOPLE
FAVOR THE NEW PLAN

This scheme OF new street grades on
the approaches to the nilly sections is
understood to be greatly favored by
the United Railroads, for it affords n
solution of the transportation question
in those sections of the city. The COM
pany is understood to be not unwilling
to rebuild its cable roads as electric
lines over the hilly sections if Circuit
tous routes of travel can be established
with grades such as will permit of the
operation of electric cars. If the
scheme is carried into execution San
Francisco may soon witness the pass
ing of the cable road from those billy
sections where 1t has been popularity
assumed in the past no means of
transportation other than by cable
could ever be established.
Herbert E. Laws committee is in
dustriously engaged in securing engi-
neering data looking to a solution of
the question, and it is announced that
the committee will formulate some def
mite program within few days.
With the gradual settling of the city
back to more normal business basis
the reports issued from the various
relief headquarters are decidedly more
encouraging and the work of the COM
mittees now in charge is mainly in the
perfecting of the present systems OF
distribution of supplies in progress.
The tri-weekly distribution of food
seems to have worked out satisfactor-
iiy. and only in a few instances have
emergency cases cropped up where it
has been necessary to give rations be-
tween times. and all cases of destitu-
ton and want that have been reported
to Colonel Lea Febiger have been in
vestigated by his aids and found to be
other needs than food.
According to CAPTAIN r. E. Long
don. statistician of the Army relief
bureau the number of rations distrib-
uted is showing a rapid reduction. yes
terdays rations aggregating 127,OOO
against approximately 100000 on May
Sd. At the various sub-stations some
verbal grumbing has been heard re-
garding the alleged staleness of the
bread and the poor cuts of meat given
but no official complaint has reached
Headquarters An improved condition
generally prevails, and the matter of
distributing rations moves smoothly

 That the democratic senators should display an extremely bitter feeling is to be expected. We need not hunt very far in the speeches of pro- test and arraignment now coming from the democratic side of the chamber for proof that the President has receded radically from his pre- vious position, for this does not clear ly appear. It is enough to know that the feeling exhibited is abundantly accounted for otherwise. The presi- dent, doubtless in the full innocence of a partisan needlessness, has been guilty of as shabby breach of good faith as the annals of American poli- tics record.-Springfield Republican.

HE GOT IT FIXED.

The following story, illustrative of
 the red tape that used to prevail in a
 certain department of the federal gov
 ernment at Washington, is told by an official who began his service there in the humble capacity of clerk Shortly after entering upon the discharge of my duties,' said the of. ficnal, "I witnessed scene in the di- vision to which had assigned that astonished me to a degree One day an elderly lady clerk whose desk, was near mine suddenly rose from his seat, dragged his chair to fire place, and. seizing poker. attacked the of. lending piece of furniture with what, appeared to be maniacal fury. When he had broken leg of his passion seemed to be exhausted. He flung the damaged chair into corner, calmly resumed his work just as if nothing had occurred.
 "When the time came to leave the office that afternoon. I ventured to ask a fellow-clerk. who had been a witness of the scene, what 1t meant. Is that clerk I inquired. subject to attacks of that kind?'
 "The clerk questioned smiled in- diligently. Oh he explained. there was nothing the matter with him. You see, one of the castors had come of his chair. This department will not re- place castors,-it repairs nothing less serious than a broken leg. So Blank broke one of the legs and now he will be able to get the castor put on again. Success Magazine.

The Spooner amendment to the
 railroad rate bill has been offered to
 cut down legal delays and Senator
 McCumber has come to the front with
 an amendment to put both fines and
 Imprisonment into the bill for the punishment of relating. Both of these provisions are very salutary, that is they would be good things if they ever could be made to work. Both provisions are said to have the endorsement of the president, which they doubtless would have. The chances are that the Spooner amend ment will not get into the final bill and if it does that 1t will not work. This amendment is to the effect that where the rate designated by the in- terstate commerce commission is brought before the courts, the rail- roads shall pay into the courts the difference between the rate com- plained of and the rate actually charged with per cent. interest for the detention of the money and in case the decision goes against the railroad, the whole amount shall be paid to the shipper so that he will not be sufferer by the prolonging ,f the litigation. This of course would be an incentive to the com- panies to get through with any legit- Innate appeal as soon as possible.

to-day that the agents of the Japa- nese have recently been in St. Paul, negotiating with J. J. Hill, presi- dent of the Great Northern Railroad Company, and that the terms of the purchase of the Dakota and Minne- sota have been practically agreed up- on. These are the largest merchant vessels ever built in this country. For their construction MT Hill built a shipyard at New London. Since they were launched the yard has been practically idle and as MT Hill sees no future for the merchant marine, it will probably be dismantled when the vessels are sold.

That Japan is striving 10 eliminate
 the American flag from the Pacific is
 an open secret and the next sixty days will probably determin- wheth- CT she will be successful or not. says one writer. It is understood on high

THURSDAY, MAY IT, 1908.

Among India's 1,500 towns and cities of more than 5000 inhabitants only half dozen have sewerage sys- tems. The Bengal government was forced to investigate the subject of disposing of the sewage and has ap- proved the septic tanks erected on the banks of the Hugli. The addi- tion of chlorinated lime to the ef- fluent rendered the fluid virtually sterile, and much purer than Hugli water itself. The copper sulphate and the sand filtration methods were tried and dropped, the one because of the expense, and the other owing to the large filtration area required The wide extension of the system now in use on the banks of the Hugli is ex- pected.

Once more the big stick is in e,

Once more the big stick is in evil dence, says our Washington corres- pondent. The secretaries of war and state have both taken 1t upon them selves to announce to Panama that they will tolerate no revolutions nor election disturbances which might hinder the work on the canal" It might be took jocose, as we say in Laredo" were Panama to reply that she thought she would have time to several revolutions and cleo tions before the United States started building the canal. But of course the work of canal digging is "construc- lively" proceeding even though the actual construction is not being done. This is something after the fashion in which congress can vote itself real mileage on the strength of a con- structive recess. Anyhow Cover nor Magoon has been notified
 
 that the United States is ready to step in at any stage of the proceedings and spank Pan- anna into line if she does not be- have and hold her coming election peaeeably. The situation is interest ing. It will at least show whether a peaceable election can be held in South America. Some people hold that it cannot. But there is no real evidence against it except the lack of a precedent. Possibly with the United States standing by like a po- liceman. the vote will be deposited In absolute quiet.
