La¥ng—Thursday, November 21, Thoroughbred Howard street LOUD’S WARNING. ONGRESSMAN LOUD in an address to the C Richmond Improvement Club has drawn a Francisco, past, present and future. its position of control of the whole coast' when the overland roads were built, and from that time until 1898 lived on the State of Cali- fornia. This may sound like a unfavorable statement. But where can be found another State capable, cut of its own resources, of building and so g such a city as this? What seems like a t creditable to San Francisco is the most creditable ascription to California that was ever uttered. It is Mr. Loud’s opinion that since 1898 we have regained our trade reach in great part, but that it can be held and made greater only by vigilance and enterprise. In this sentence the Congressman uttered that worldly wisdom which is the builder of cities and States: “Let us remember that selfishness 1s the controlling factor of a city’s success. Humani- tarianism in that respect is beautiful only in theory. 1i you have anything you don’t want let another city have that. We can compete with the rest of the world only when we put ourselves on the same plane as the rest of the world. I hope to see men of all classes working together for the best interests of San Francisco.” Good advice and well put. It was natural and in- evitable that this should cease to be the only dis- tributing point, but while there are, and will be, others, this may remain the greatest. By the en- couragement of enterprise and investment and being kind to both this city may always hold the same pri- macy on this coast that New York has on the other. Mr. Loud commended the enterprise of Seattle, and so do we, for it is American enterprise, and wherever prosperity is every man in the Union shares it, but San Francisco has no thrill of fear or jealousy when Seattle is mentioned. That city will prosper, but she will not outgrow this nor eclipse our star. Now that Maryland Democrats are assured of a majority of 14 on a joint ballot in the Legislature a number of independent anti-machine Democrats are organizing to bring about the defeat of Gorman for the Senate. It is, however, not likely to ambunt to much, for had the supporters of the movement had any political sagacity they would have fought Gor- man at the polls instead of waiting until he had car- ried the State and then proceed to fight him in the house of his friends. A report comes from Paris that the epicures of that city are alarmed over the falling off in the sup- ply of snails of a certain fine quality, and there is an increasing fear that the delicacy will be lost to the world. The suffering of the epicures from such fears may be as genuine as any other suffasing but it will not attract sympathy from amz one in this country, We have troubles of our own. As a Canadian optimist, boomer and jingo, Sir Wil- frid Laurier is entitled to first rank, for he has just told the people of Montreal in a public speech that Canada will not again ask for reciprocity with this country, but that in a short time Washington willl be sending diplomats to Ottawa to.ask reciprocity with Canada. It is announced that there has been started among the actors of New York a movement to obtain in that city the social rank and recognition which the profes- sion enjoys in Europe, so it appears the elevation of the stage is about to be undertaken through the me- ‘dium of pink teas. A New York town which until very recently gave no reasonable excuse for being on the map is now boasting that it is the happy possessor of the hottest young lady on record. Her temperature has regis- tered 108 degrees every day for two years, ‘Dalzell, Hopkins, Grosvenor, T'HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NQVEMBER 15, 1901, — OPERA AND RING FIGHTS. AN- FRANCISCO at this time illustrates two S tendencies that seem opposed to each other at every point. grand opera. The works of the great lyric composers are being rendered in style equal to that of any metropolis in the world, and their interpretation is by artists that are not outranked on any lyric stage. The repertoire includes such a variety of subjects and illustrates so completely what may be called the va- rious schools of music that our public has the oppor- tunity to study them zand catch the thrill and inspira- tion that had being in the tuneful souls of the great men who created these lasting pieasures for the en- tertainment and refinement of the world. In “Carmen,” “Tannhauser,” “Die Walkure,” “Faust,” “Manon,” “La Boheme,” “Romeo et Juliette,” “Figaro,” “La Traviata,” “Lohengrin” and their companion works every chord of the human heart is touched and returns its sympathetic = thrill. The voice of music is uttered in every tone, from light to somber, and every human passion is ex- pressed in that universal language. It is art of the first order, and whatever educating function it has is in action for the benefit of our people. The audiences may be present from motives as great in variety as the music to which they listen, but among them are not many of the lower and baser. As they go forth, with spirits raised by the harmony of sound, it is safe to say that it is not to be worse than when they en- tered the temple of the “Heavenly Maid.” They have been subjected to an influence that reaches in un- broken lie back to the first man who blew into a reed and made a new sound that was the beginning of music. They have been under the spell of an art that is nearly as old as prayer among the manifesta- tions of man’s religious instincts. They have greeted that which is so pure in spirit that even vice, ready to use and debase the arts to her purpose, has found this too virgin to serve her. 7 No man nor woman nor child has been made worse or coarser, and from many a heart burdens have been lifted, by the ineffable hand of harmony. It is known in the history of music that men have been turned from intended wrong by its ministra- tions. A cadence has touched a slumbering chord of goodness and its vibrations have turned the . soul again to a concordance with virtue and gentleness. These queens of song and masters of melody are preachers, every one, and they utter .great sermons. All this illustrates one tendency. Critics and cynics may have theif say about it. They may declare that the audiences show forth the vanity of fashion, and that pride and selfishness deck them to see and be But if this be admitted only the lighter dross that is in human nature has been impeached. The other tendency leads one to a different scene. A greater audience than any at the opera will meet to applaud a prize-fight. On Saturday night a daughter of California will give to her people the benediction of art at the opera-house, and a son of California will fight to-night in the ring at the Pa- vilion. What nights of contrasts and contradictions! Seats at the Pavilion will command higher prices than boxes at the opera, and it will not be an “off night”—every seat will be filled. The audience has been arriving for a week, from New Orleans and New York and far Boston. Perhaps not twenty people have come to the opera from Oakland, with only the bay to cross. The people who will be town that night from Stockton, Sacramento, Los An- geles and Fresno will be at the Pavilion, not at the Opera-house. They do not come to be moved by a concord of sweet sounds, but to see one pfize- fighter knock out another. They do not applaud tone and pitch, but uppercuts and blows well landed on the “kisser,” “smeller” or “lamps” of the unfor- tunate victim, and the height of their enthusiasm will be reached when a thump on the solar_plexus lays him low with a dull thud and he quivers as if life were trying to tear loose from the fleshy fiber while the referee counts the number of seconds given him to rise and fight on or lie unconscious while the belt and the world’s championship and glory of the ring go to another. The bets made involve a sum that Patti might envy, and the money will change hands and much be thrown at birds of a feather with the winners. So art and brute force hold ‘high carnival in the same city, encouraged by the same community. One lifts up, the other throws down. One refines, the other coarsens. If we cavil because pride and vanity may be in plumes at the Opera-house, what are we to say if disorder and violence are in evidence at the Pavilion? Pride and vanity get no impulse from the notes of California’s lark. What will violence and disorder get from the right and left handers of California’s gladi- ator? seen. in While Uncle Sam is considering how he can best lighten the burdens of taxation upon his people so as to get rid of the surplus in the treasury John Bull is devising ways and means of increasing taxation so that he can meet his expenditures without running into debt. Such being the situation, it is probable there will be a considerable shifting of population and of capital from John Bull's country to that of Uncle Sam within the next few years, D at the coming session of Congress it now ap- pears well assured that nothing of the sort will be done. Mr. Babcock and his friends may make the attempt and the low tariff men and free-traders may give them strong support, but it will be ineffec- tive in face of the popular objection to any change in the fiscal system under which the country has pros- pered and the strong opposition which will be made by the Republican majority in both houses. Well informed Washington correspondents who have noted the arrival of various persons to confer with the President upon reciprocity or tariff reduc- tion, and have carefuily inquired as to the results of such conferences, are agreed that at present at least the outlock promises nothing for the tariff revision- ists. It is said the President has given no indication of what he will do on the subject, but the opinion of those who have talked with him is that he will content himself with directing attention to the con- stantly growing surplus and leave Congress free to determine what measures shall be adopted to reduce the annual revenue. Republican leaders who are recognized as authori- ties in fiscal matters are well nigh unanimous in op- position to any tariff tinkering this winter. Senators Aldrich and Allison have frankly and emphatically declared themselves against reopening the tariff question, whether in the guise of reciprocity treaties or under the general proposition of a readjustment of schedules. Such leaders of the House as Payne, Steele and Russell NO TARIFF TINKERING. ESPITE the persistent talk of tariff revision We ‘are in our annual season of o have had talks with the President and are agreed that the tariff shall not be made once more an issue of party politics, to the disturbance of the industries of the country, so far as they can prevent it. From these reports it seems clear that whatever changes may be made for the purpos® of reducing the revenue will be in the internal taxes, and par- ticularly in what are known as the war revenue taxes. The liquor men, the brewers and the tobacco men are all eagerly working for some reduc- tion in the taxes upon their products. Most of those who are opposed to tinkering with the tariff are quite willing to cut down the war taxes, and their views will be supported by the public generally. It must not be supposed, however, that the free- traders and their allies of various kinds are not going to make a hard fight. The Democratic leaders who have been looking for an issue to take the place of the free silver question will gladly give every assist- ance they can to any movement that is made toward tariff revision. The revival of a tariff fight would help them to get rid of Bryanism, and, while it would be but a forlorn hope in any contest before the peo- ple, it will be decidedly better than no hope at all. The outlook for the session, therefore, is that there will be no tariff tinkering nor the adoption of any reciprocity treaty, but that there will be a good deal of discussion on the subject and a persistent effort made to bring it before the country as an issue in the elections of next fall A company of Philadelphia whom are the Cramps, are about to establish a plant | for the manufacture of a new rifle which they claim capitalists, among will revolutionize war. It is said the gun at each pressure of the trigger fires five shots through a single barrel, ejects the cartridges and reloads the weapon, and all without any recoil. A few more such improvements in weapons and old man War will have to go way back and sit down. S of Mr. Chamberlain, Commissioner of Naviga- tion, afford another strong argument in sup- port of legislation designed to promotg the upbuild- ing of our deep sea merchant marine. The fiscal year covered by the report of the Commissioner was on the whole one of notable progress in American ship-building, and yet the progress was almost wholly in the construction of ships for our coastwise and lake trade. Upon the ocean the showing made by our ships during the year, so far from being encour- aging, was distinctly the reverse. According to the summary of the report that has been made public the figures of shipping for 1891 compared with 1861 show an increase in coasting trade vessels from 2,704,544 tons to 4,582,683 tons (two-thirds of this increase being on the Great Lakes), a decrease in foreign trade vessels from 2,496,804 tons to 879,505 tons, and a decrease in whaling and fishing vessels from 338,375 tons to 61,- 940 tons. Of the total tonnage 3,623,201 tons are wooden vessels, and only 1,001,017 tons are iron or steel. In 1900 Great Britain launched 1,440,000 tons of steel vessels. Our foreign trade is augmenting and expanding, while the carrying trade remains in the hands of other nations, and the consequence is that in the year under review American vessels carried only a little more than 8 per cent of our exports and im- ports, the smallest percentage in the history of the country. Our fleet of ocean steamers is utterly in- adequate to our needs and is too small to be com- pared with that of any first-class foreign power. Une of the main reasons for the inability of Ameri- can ocean vessels to compete with those of foreign countries is the difference in the rate of wages. As an illustration of that difference the Commissioner points out that the payroll (excluding the master) of 380 men on the St. Louis is $11,300; of 427 men on the British Oceanic is $9900, and of 500 men on the German Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse $7715. In addition to cheaper labor the foreign ship- owner has the advantage of liberal subsidies. Against such odds American ship builders and owners would vainly try to compete. The results are shown in the statements of the Commissioner. Foreign shipping in-the Pacific trade has doubled during the last three years, and is increasing everywhere, while of our own shipping the showing is made that the American flag was seen much oftener on the North Atlantic during President Jefferson’s embargo (1808) or during the cruises of the Alabama than at present, Such is the showing of the official statistics. It would appear that nothing more could be required to convince intelligent men of the need of taking ac- tion to promote our industries upon the sea even as we promote those upon land. The Republican party has repeatedly pledged itself to enact legislation for the purpose of upbuilding our merchant marine, and it is high time the pledge were fulfilled. B — OUR MERCHANT MARINE. HIPPING statistics médc, public in the report Chairman Payne and Representatives Grosvenor, Steel and Russell of the Ways and Means Committee are reported to have had a conference and decided that there is at this time no need of tariff revision nor of reciprocity treaties, and it is safe to say that a majority of the American people agree with them. We are so prosperous just now we can afford to let well enough alone. L S Many tales are told of Boston women which in- cline the frivolous to scoff, but even the gravest and most reverent will be tempted to smile at the an- nouncement that one of the ladies of the Boston So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals re- cently protested against boiling or roasting chest- nuts because the process puts to a cruel death many an innocent worm. B There is a report that Cresceus, the star trotter, is to be exhibited on the vaudeville stage this winter, and should it be done there would be no great sur- prise. In fact, the time may yet come when some enterprising vaudeville manager will undertake to swing a President of the United States round the cir- cuit. Out of ‘her pride in the Pan-American’ exposition and her sorrow that it proved a financial failure, Buf- falo has about reached the conclusion that Congress should appropriate money to make up the deficiency. SR The finally revised figures of the census of 1900 show that we have in this country something more than 16,300,000 men of militia age, so now if any na- tion is spoiling for a fight let her come on. It looks now as if Mr. Addicks’ Senatorial boom had vanished like a busted gas plant and that the Delaware deadlock would be opcned next time with- out any trouble whatever. It will be noted that Bryan’s activity in Towa and Nebraska has had the usual result. Perhaps the gen-\ tleman will now go way back and sit down. FIRST WOMAN AT NOME APPEARS IN THE CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS R 2 T A RS. REQUA, the first white woman to reach Nome, has made an entrance into the cele- brated Alaska contempt case. She was called by the respond- ents, and for two hours told a story that is full of human Interest and replete witn tales of futile efforts wasted in the ice fields. Like many of the other witnesses who have preceded her, Mrs. Requa has more than a peck of troubles. While her testi- mony is not’ particularly vital or directly material to the issues it may give a hard Knock to the credibility of W. T. Hume. Mrs. Requa had a merry time with that attorney and many others. “Selecting an attorney in Nome is like buying a pig m. a poke,” she said. Some of her judg- ments on lawyers and Nome methods made food for thought. She learned her lesson by experience. None of the lawyers present doubted the bravery of Mrs. Requa, and they all paid respect to her bright, clear-thinking mind. In 1898 she and her uncle, an old man, went to Alaska to dredge the Yukon, but hearing of the strike of gold in the Nome district Mrs. Requa set out from the Ta nana for the new El Dorado. With a party of seven she walked a distance of 700 miles over tie ice. Instead of her trou- bles ending here, they really began. Mrs. Requa's prospecting companions were Tom Jacobs and Jack Glover. To- gether they located claims on the Dexter. Mrs. Requa Locates Claims. “What indications did you find of loca- tions on this creek?’ asked Attorney Heney, who conducted the examination. “‘Sometimes a willow twig with a loca- tion notiee; sometimes nothing but the twig itself,” responded the witness. “Did you make any locations?” “I located No. 8 on Dexter Creek by ANSWERS TO QUERIES.

There are in the American Union thirteen original States and thirty-two ad- mitted States, forty-five in all. The Ter- ritories are as follows, in order of organ- ization: New Mexico, Arizona, Indian, Oklahoma, District of Columbia, District of Alaska and Hawail. The new posses- sions are Porto Rico, the Philippines, Guam and Tutuila. THE GREAT EASTERN-—Subscriber, | City. The Great Eastern was built at Millwall, England. She was launched in January, 1868. She was built for the pur- pose of establishing an ocean steam line from England to the East by rounding the Cape of Good Hope. The idea was to haye a vessel that would carry sufficient coal for the round trip, thereby saving the cost of coaling stations, also one having the capacity to carry large cargoes and a large number of passengers. THE HALL OF FAME—B. D., Nevada City. What is generally called “The Hall of Fame,” in Washington, D. C., was in- stituted by virtue of the following act ot Congress, July 2, 1864: Suitable structures and railings shall ba erected in the old Hall of Representatives for the reception and protection of statu. ary, and the same shall be under the su- pervision and Cirecticn of the chief of en- gineers in charge of public buildings ani grounds. And the President is authorized to invite all States to provide and furnish statues in marble or bronze, not exceed- ing two in number for each State, of de- ceased persons who have been citizens thereof, and illustrious for their histor:c renown, or for distinguished civil or mili- tary service, such as each State may deem worthy of this national commem- oration, and when so furnished the same shall be placed in the old hall of the | Choice candies.

Hume was Mrs. Requa’'s attorney, and her story is a long tale of duplicity on his part and an attempt of attorneys to juggle her out of her claim interests. Records were changed, mini properties transferred into specious stoc's of gold companies and the lady generally abused in regard to her mining interests. Hubbard, a partner of Hume, was Mrs. THE “FIRST WOMAN IN OME,” WHO TESTIFIED AT THE NOYES CONTEMPT HEARING YESTERDAY AND TOLD OF THE STRANGE DOINGS IN THE ALASKA MINING CAMP. s placing upper and lower and four corner stakes, measuring the distance off by steps.” Later it transpired that Jake Linder- berg claimed that Lindbom had located it for him in November, 1898. Mrs. Requa had also staked No. 4 below. on Anvil. This claim the witness staked on the ground of sentiment—for John A. Dexter, who kept a roadhouse and who was suf- fering from paralysis. “They wanted that stake,” she said. “Harry Campbell and another man came to me in my tent and told me that unless I filed an abandonment they would set me outside of Anvil City. Campbell sa:d the boys had sent him there, and hinted that they could shoot straight. After- ward he told me it was a joke; but I guess I'm not a good judge of jokes.” In telling how the Laplanders stake Mrs. Requa said: “L tried to stake a claim but could never get ahead of the rein- deer. Mrs. Requa had something to say about the missionaries, who, according to her testimony, weéfe too busy staking claime to afford comfort or solace to the af- House of Representatives in the Capitol of the United States, which is set apart, or so much thereof as may be necessary, as a national statuary hall for the pur- pose herein indicated.

The rebuttal began with the swearing in of Dr. Cabell Whitehead, who during the troublous times in Nome was man- ager of the Alaska Bank and Safe De- posit Company. The gold dust was de- posited in the bank, and Mr. McKenzie fearful of its safety, took Whitehead to see Judge Noyes in regard to its protec- tion. Whitehead and Noyes went to ses Captain French for # guard, which was placed over the boxes. McKenzie had ac cess to all his boxes in the vault at all times. McKenzie once told Whitehead that one of his detectives, McLaine, haa overheard a conversation between Lin- derberg and Metson and Clanahan, 1n which the three were talking about the distribution of the gold dust when they 8ot it. Whitehead placed no credence in this, howevér. Once McKenzie stated to the witness that he could get an order from the court Wwhenever he wanted it. All the facts of 'V the recovery cf the dust, the conversa, tions concerning the guard and the ar- rival of the writs were.again discussed. Whitehead's testimony was of some im- portance to the Government.
