Starts East Tomorrow.

san Francisco, May s.--Secy. of the
Navy Metcalf, on the quarter deck of
the trim little gunboat Yorktown. to-
day reviewed the a assembled ships
of the combined Atlantic and Pacific
fleets at anchor in the Oakland fair
way OF the harbor. Rear Admiral Rob
ley d. Evans, who is closing his last
day OF command. was not able TO go
aboard his old flagship, as no had in
tended to participate in the review.
The admiral was much ratlgued by his
long ride yesterday in the land parade,
and while his family stated today that
he had rested we'll during the night,
DIR. McDonnold would not allow the
exertIon that would have been neces-
saly In a trip TO the anchored flagship,
Admiral Evans probably will leave for
the east tomorrow morning and unless
his plans change during the day he
viii not again fly his flag on the Con-
necticut or again set foot upon the
after bridge OF the flagship.
The day OF the review was brilliant
with sunshine ana the harbor was
crowded with launches and excursion
craft. Each ship IN the four long lines
of the anchorage ground was decorated
with dressing lines Of vari-colOred flags
The Yorktown was little late In

Conference on Preservation of
Natural Resources Approved
BY Bryan and Johnson.
A TRULY MOMENTOUS EVENT.
Justices Harlan and Pcclsham OF L. S.
Supreme Court Heartily in Ac-
cord With Object.

Washington, May S.-The conference
of governors of states looking to the
conservation of the natural resources
of the country which will take place at
the White House from the 18th to 18th,
inclusive, of this month is strongly
approved by two of the Democratic
candidates for the presidential nomina-
ton. William j. Bryan and Gov. John
son of Minnesota. and by Associate
Justices Harlan and Peckham OF the
supreme court of the United States.
Their views as to the importance of
the subject are contained in letters sent
to President Roosevelt In response to
his letter inviting them to attend tho
conference. These letters We're today
made public,
II greatly appreciate your Kind invi-
tation," says Mr.. Bryan, land shan
take pleasure in attending the confer
ence on the conservation of natural re-
sources. / am in hearty sympathy
with the purpose of the conference. and
l have no doubt that the discussion Of
the subject will be helpful to us ALL
Gov. Johnson's letter reads:
ITO assure you that ! heartily agree
with your conclusion that the conserv
alton of the natural resourcese OF our
country presents a problem demanding
the best thought of our times is super
fiuous. We have been exploiting our re-
sources with no thought of the NOR
row and the claims of posterty upon
us should certainly be taken into &C
count"
Justice Harlan says: mo more inn
portant matter could engage the at
tention Of the American people than the
conservation of our natural resources
You are entitled to thanks Of all for
augmenting this movement. II Will
give me great pleasure to attend the
sessions of the conference"
The occasion will, l think, be one of
the geatest Importance" comments
Justice Pecltham. 1T seems to me as IL
we were like thoughtless spendthrift
Just in possession of a great fortune,
Intent more on getting rid OF, than in
conserving our resources and that I'M
less speedy and substantial amendment
is made, II will soon be too late to alter
our habits in this respect as there VIII
be nothing left to conserve. In my
view, the greatest good may result
| from this important meeting, and the
| credit thereof must be awarded to you. "
