Advice Given to Improve the City's Water Frontage. The Unitarian Club gave a dinner last night and there were about 150 of the city’s representative men at the The treaty between the United States and Colombla as it affects the construction of the canal from Colon to Panama was the subject of long and elaborate discus- sion. The revolution in the modes ot transportation and the political and com- mercial relations between the world na- tions were considered and debated -and the beneficial results from the construc- tion of the canal =0 far as they must af- fect the Pacific Coast were alluded to ex- haustively. Louis Lisser, president of the club, was in the chair, ana the evening's discussions were led off by Jan, who read a lengthy paper by Willlam H. Mills. It was a review of the histor of the question of the Isthmian from its beginning down to the act of Congress authorizing it construction. The paper set forth the feeling and opin- fons formed and ventilated as to the mag- nitude and importance of such a cana | Mr. Mills also treated of the probable ef- fect which the canal route will have upon the world's commerce. Marsden Manson of the Board of Public Works, with statistics at hand, gave interestimg figures connected with. th gineering features of the canal and also spoke of its physical aspect. He sald that the construction meant the use of the canal for the interest orf San Francisco, which he considered would be a grand | it | event. He reminded his hearers that they were going to let foreign commerclal cities of the world take what they wanted | and leave the balance for the United States this country would, In that event, get very little. Mr. Manson spoke strongly in favor of | bandling the water frontage for the com- | | merctal supremacy of the city. The wa- ter front was not ‘£o0 large as people thought, he sald. Even to-day it was crowded. He sald that they must depend and look to the Panama canal to connect them as a short line with Mobile and Pensacola for the bringing of steel to this city. Mr. Manson then suggested improvements on the water front such as sdequate and commodious coal bunkers, S0 that vessels need not sream to Puget Sound to obtaln cheaper coal. He sug- gested, furthermore, modern improve- ments at certain wharfs, such as ele- vated steel roads along and across cer- tain streets to connect with ample and dommodious warehouses capahle of meet- ing every commercial reguirement Lincoln T. Hutchinson of the University of California gave an interesting outlook upon the new commercial relations of the United States which might be expected with the completion of the canal. Colonel John P. Irish had been expected to speak, but 1t was announced that he had gone to Washington and regretted nis inability to meet the members of the club at its pres. ent gathering. —— PROMINENT NEW YORKER IN TOWN, MR. FERDINAND STRAUS, Well Known in Insurance Circles, Visits Relatives on the Coa: Mr. Ferdinand Straus, for fifteen years ndentfied with the Equitable Life Assur- ance Society of New York in an official capacity, is visiting relatives in this city His position in the businesg world has long been established and he has the rep- | utation of being one of the most aggres- sive and successful men m the life frsur- ance world. His opinions touching busi- ness are mature and authoritative. It was known before his arrival that his infor- mation on the subject of the manufacture of artificlal ice was quite exhaustive. His coming, therefore, has been of particular | interest to the officers and stockholders of the Pacific Vacuum whose plant is now being constructed and whose stock has recently become a very popular investment. Rarely have the claims of a new business enterprise had 80 opportune a corroboration and practicability of théir methods been so well authenticated ax have these of this company at the hands of Mr. Straus. He recently visited Baltimore in company with Mr. J. F. Wilson, chief engineer of the Equitable Soclety, for tRe purpose of informing himself fully as to the claims and operation of the orlginal company whose patents are owned for the coast by the local company. Both of these gen- :de the most tharough and im- nvestigation possible and returned w York fully persuaded that the procéss was all that was claimed for it. Sclentists, however, have known for over & hundred years that ice would form in a vacuum, but none were able to devise and perfect an apparatus of sufficient econ- in manufactyre value until 1900. That such a thing can be done has been daily proven in New York and Baltimore in the two jmmense plants established there. Of the project Mr. Straus says: “SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 6 “Frank W. Marston, President Pacific Vacuum Ice Company, 519520 Parrott Buflding, San Francisco, Cal.—Dear 8i Answerlng vour kind faver requesting me to give such information as [ might pos- | sess, based on my own personal examina- tion and investigation of the workings of | the New York Vacuum Ice Plant, I beg | leave to say for your Information, and that of all concerned in vour enterprige, that i was led Into the knowledge of matters pertaining to this process of making ice through the request of business agsociates and relatives of mine, and therefore, ai- though not interested in fts operation financially, 1 bave probed Into all matters relating to the same, dnd as a result of | this careful investigation on strict busi- ness lines 1 can state without any reser- vation that their process of making ice is beyond a doubt practical in every detail, and in my business judgment will revo- ‘lunnnlu the industry the world over. “The New York plant. in the hands of a pbwerful syndicate, inaugurated their work and began making ice last July.

In addition 1o those presents there was given to each chief a written greeting un- der the hand of the President accepting the offer of the people. Lieutenant Commander Minett, U. €. attached the medals to the coat of each chief as he was called up to receive the greeting and present. The day was one of general rejoicing by all the people. One of the most interesting incidents of the day, and which was accepted by the people with many loud cheers, was the presentation of the United States flag to the Samoan guard. A battalion under Lieutenant Sticht, U 8. N., was formed, consisting of blue- jackets from the U. 8. S. Wheeling and | the Samoan landsmen, called the “fita- fitas.” It was formed into column, with | the sallors to the right and the Samoans tc the left. The colog:bearer of the blue- | jackets was cailed-to the front with one | of the Samoan soldiers, and then Lieuten- £nt Commander Minett took the United States flag from the bluejacket and pre- sented it to the color-bearer of the Sa- | moan company. The scene was most im- pressive to all .the people assembled. The speech made by Alapa on behalf of | the natives of the western district of | Tutuila was as follows: Your excellency, the commandant, repre- senting the President of the United States of America, to you the Secretary of Native Affairs, nd to the officers of the Government | Assembied here to-day,’ greeting. | Thanks!

When he was intro- | duced by Thomas W. Hickey the ap- plause he' recelved lasted for several min- utes. His lecture was unusually inter- esting. It was entitled ‘“Reminiscences | of the Late War.” He gave a most| graphic description of the blowing up of | the Maine, the biotting out of the lives of so many of its gallant crew, the hero- ism of the survivors, and of the war] which ensued. In describing the patriot-) ism of the American people and the hero- ism of American men and women, Father Chidwick became most eloquent. He | spoke in substance as follows: 1 recognize that this acclaim with which you have received me is not intended fgr me person- ally, but for me a representative of the brave men who were aboard the Maine the night she went to her doom beneath the wa- ters of Havana harbor.
