Pascal was also very favorably {mpressed with the university site and greatly admired the view of the city us seen from the bay. Mr. Belcher, the English member, was not on the original commission, and therefore has not seen the eleven designs which were selected at the Antwerp sesslon of the commission from the 106 submitted.

The reception lasted from 9:30 until o'clock, champagne punch and igars being served meantime, and then the visiting architects were driven back to the Palace under the v of electric ligh that blazed entire length of Market street. Pascal is president of the Ecole Dr. Wallot M. des Beaux Arts in Paris; a member of the Royal Academy of of Germany and the designer of famous Reichstag bullding; Mr. cher i{s one of the great architects ndon, and Mr. Cook enjoys a similar distinction in New York.

A move has been made to organize the | company, which it is understood is liber- than a 2l an a passing consid- | so- ine past twenty ally backed by the Chinese Government, | although the Consul General is acting in | his individual capacity. In brief the pro- position is that if a company is formed here with from five to ten million dollars capital it can secure ‘from the Chinese Government about every trading, con- tracting and commercial concession that it sees fit to ask for. The reason for this is that the United States ds the only | nation which hus not made an. effort to grab a slice of China In the general | | |B scramble of other nations to expand ter- | ritorlally.

This brought Knight to his feet with the explanation that only his desire for a “full and fair explanation” had not brought forth from questions put to witnesses. “Why,’ id the attorney, “the questions I have allowed put > without offering objections have made me the laughing stock of the entire San Francisco bar. Some may have thought me only one degree above an idiot.

Naturally | the opportunity presented to Americans is greater than that presented to other | nationalities; still the affairs of China are | in a critical condition and the present is | he time when important decisions will be made which will concern the future | position of other countries in the affairs of China. Whoever Is first on the ground | will have the advantage. Whoever dilly- dallies along, walting for others to take the lead, will inevitably be left behind. Americans as a rule are energetic and en- | terprising, have-unbounded courage and | faith and are ready to see their opportuni- ties In all parts of the world. They are realizing the great opportunities for ex- | tension of trade and influence amid the Jast population of the Orient, and et it that through lack of combination will fall to secure their the changes that are now taking place in the far East, while other countries, by prowiptness and the support of their own overnments, will secure a prior claim | and commercial advantage such as it will | be impossible for Americans to alter in the future. Thus far all the great con- cessions. both in railways and in mining, have gone to the companies of other countries.
