FRISCO HOT
California Metropolis Anger
 ed by Message

San Francisco is reported to be boil ing oyer on account of President Roosevelt's severe strictures upon them for shutting Japanese out of the public schools.
 The following is the gist of what the pres dent said:
 "The Japanese have won in a single generation the right to stand abreast Of the foremost and most enlightened peo- ple of Europe and America, they have won ca their own merits and by their own exertions the right 10 tre 'tment on a basis of full and frank equality. But here and there 8 most unworthy feeling has manifested itself toward the Japan ese-the feeling that has been shown in shutting them outtrom the common schools in San Francisco, and in nut terings against them in one ortwo otber places. because of their efficiency as workers. To shut them out from the public schools Is a wicked absurdity, when there are DO frst-class colleges in the land, including the universities and colleges of California, which do not welcome Japanese students and on which Japanese students do not reflect credit. We have as much to learn from Japan as Japan has to learn from us, and DO nation is it to teach unless it is willing to learn. Throughout Japan Americans are well treated, and any failure on the part of Americans at home to treat the Japanese with a like courtesy and consideration is by just so much a confession of inferiority in our civilization. It is only a very small body of our citizens that act badly. Where the federal government has power it will deal summarily with any such.

 Mr, Waskey expects Mir. Gale to ar- rive at Washington shortly and says, i've will try to get things started right at least before the present term of con- gress ends"

Tedious Job.

State Treasurer w. J. Miller is now
working on the most tedious job he
has had during his incumbency of
that Office. Some time ago the Su.
preme Court decided that Gov. Long
inc had no legal right to call in j
100000 bond issue for redemption,
and at its present session the legisla
ture passed a bill appropriating
funds to pay the interest on those
bonds from the date they were can
celled to the time Of the expiration
Of the first option.
This interest period ON the bonds
varies from two days to three years,
and Mr. Miller is engaged in figuring
the interest on each bond, about 200
in number, on which interest payment
must be made. The task also invol-
yes an examination of the records y
ascertain date of cancellation, and Mr..
Miller will be engaged in the work for
several days.
The state treasury now contains
considerably less than 100000 in
cash, and there will be no incoming
payments Of consequence until the
May privilege tax collections are re-
ceived. These collections, by the way,
will be based on the privilege law of
last year, as the new privilege tax
bill, which is code chapter, does
not become effective until the first
of October.

HAPPENINGS
ITEMS OF INTEREST EROM
ALL SECTIONS.
AN EpIYOME OF THE NEWS
CulIed From Important Happenings
Throughout the State During
the Past Week and Reviewed
in Brief.
Increase Is Considerable.

At the request of the Governor,
Hon. Paul Capdevielle, president OF
the state board of appraisers, has fur
nished the chief executive with state
ment showing the work of the board
in assessing railway, telegraph, sleep
ing car and express business for the
past two years. The report shows
an aggregate increase of assessments
on property of this character in the
state Of over $5,OO0,000 during the
two years. OF this, $780,, ,523 repre-
semts the increase for 1905 and about
$1500,000 the increase for 1906.
Says the president of the board in
his report:
"The assessments for the year 1906
have not yet been made up in detail,
so it is impossible to give accurate
figures, but l think it is conserva-
tive estimate to place. the total for
1906 at $36,OOO,OOO. (The total for
1905 was $34,59S,539.)
"The increase in such assessments
for 1905 over 1904 was 3,599, ,523,
and as above stated, will probably
be $1,500,000. This increase of
course, will include the new properties
rolling stock, ETC., which are sub
ject to regular state and parish tax

State Teachers to Meet.

Arrangements are being rapidly
completed for the annual convention
of the Mississippi State Teachers As
sociation to be held in Jackson on
the 3rd, 4th, and 9Th of May. The
various committees assigned who are
expected to attend report good pro-
gress.
Reports from all over the state In
dicate that the original estimate of
1,500 teachers for the convention is
not an exaggeration. The pedagog-
ues are coming from every nook and
corner of the commonwealth, and as
a representative body the convention
will be unquestionably the largest that
has ever assembled in Mississippi on
any occasion.
The program is one of exceptional
interest, and some of Americas fore
most educators will be present to de-
liver addresses on various topics. The
association will be divided into sec
tions and meetings held in the Cen
tury theatre, representative hall, the
senate chamber, and the county court
house.

Colonel Sanders was passenger on
one Of the Montana railroads at ono
time. He had the annual pass on the
road, but on this occasion he had left
1t at home. He had travelled the same
route many times before and was well
known to the conductor. When that
official came around for the tickets, the
Colonel told him of his forgetfulness.
The conductor, however, was obdurate;
he must have ticket or money. The
Colonel, rather than have a scene,
finally pulled out a five dollar bill.
which 'yas ample to cover the expenses
Of his trip. 1t was very ragged af-
fair--all torn and pasted.
That's q fine looking bill to give
me- grovled the conductor.
Colonel Sanders was by this time
thoroughly nettied.
WELL he cried in a voice that could
be heard all over the Iar, ''if you don't
like 1t, turn it In to the company"
The laugh that went up was at the
expense Of the conductor. = Pittsburg

Berlin All the morning papers
deal sympathetically with the situa-
ton arising from the earthquake in
San Francisco. The Tageblatt says
it is certain that the entire German
people will evince the sincerest SYM
pathy with the sorely visited city
and intimates that money to assist che
needy probably will be raised in Ger
many. The paper expects tie city Of
San Francisco to rise speedily from
out the ashes of the ruins, more beau
tiful and more powerful, like Chicago

At 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, the
following dispatch was sent out from
San Francisco:
"The fire is now positively stated
to be under control, with the probable
ity that one-quarter of the city lying
west of Franklin street and known
as the western addition. northward to
the Preside, will be saved. The stand
made at Van Ness avenue was gener-
ally successful, the flames crossing
that avenue to the west in only few
places. The strongest fire at noon
today was toward North beach, east
of Van Ness avenue, but 1t will be
controlled
