San Francisco, March 8. It seems et yesterday that we of the Palladium were posting bulletins as fast as we received them from the wire, of the dreadful conflagration raging in flt. Francisco and answering anxious Inquiries from the telephone. As bul

letin after bulletin was received even we, calloused newspapermen ' though we were, turned heartsick at the thought of hundreds of thousands of our fellow countrymen seeking refuge in the parks and open country, while their homes and ' places of business became fuel to the flames. After it was all over, after we of Richmond had answered the call of our stricken brothers in San Francisco with money, clothing and - provisions, publications all over the land began to predict that the city would never be rebuilt on the same scale that existed previous to the fire. Capital, they said, would be afraid to go into a city so liable to earthquakes and subsequent conflagrations. Plucky Population. That was three years ago, however, and California and San Francisco are populated by just the same kind of plucky and resourceful yankees as the rest, of the country. Today, San Francisco is bigger and better In every respect than it was before the fire. Large numbers of modern concrete structures cover the area that was fire-swept but three years ago, though there are still a few sections where blackened ruins still remain mute witnesses to the ruthlessness of the fire demon. The city government has , been purged ' of its lecherous and grafting Reuf s and Smite's and ; far more capable and honest men are now directing Its affairs. Business houses and merchants are in new homes .nd 'everything bears the imprint of prosperity. The recent panic " coming so closely on the heels of the fire has, of course, had its retarding effect and workmen are rather more plentiful than work. With the tariff .question soon settled, however, . this doubtless will all be . changed and there should be nothing to prevent every efficient workman obtaining a position. ..... Places Are Filled. Thousands of people left San Fran

cisco during the fire and never re

turned. But their places have been

tilled by more thousands coming in

since. The city today is believed to

have an estimated population in ex

cess of five hundred thousand. Many

of those who left have located in surrounding suburbs and Oakland, just .cross the bay, has now an estimated population of over two hundred and fifty thousand. . -tj. At the same time that San Franciscans are - rebuilding their b beautiful etty they still have time to devote to .another and equally important problem. That is the Japanese question. There are thousands of the little brown men out here and they give rise to ' a form of competition that Americans have been fighting shy of for a, century or more. The competition of cheap labor. American workmen cannot, exist In competition with the Japanese. That is. at the same wage the latter is willing to work for. Our protective tariff was drawn with the view of protecting American workmen from the competition of European products, manufactured by the eheap labor of that continent. Therefore as the Californlans very pertinently ask, what are you going to do when the cheap labor of another continent invades your very shores? 'Inasmuch as this question is undoubtedly a very serious one.' and as Its ramifications - extend ' even - to the Hawaiian Islands. I shall study the subject thoroughly while on my trip and submit the result of my observations to the Palladium in another letter, later on. . Interesting Places. , There are several very attractive

drives about San Francisco. Possibly

the most interesting of these is one that takes in the Presidio and Golden Gate Park. The Presidio is a huge

reservation on the bay. belonging to

the government. Here are located

some of the batteries that are supposed to protect San Francisco in case of war. Quite a large number of United States troops are quartered

oa the Presidio and their presence in

. their iervleable uniforms, adds to the

natural attractiveness of the place.

The drives through the grounds are enchanting, extending through groves

of the fast-growing Eucalyptus and fragrant bay trees, up and around the

edge of the gigantic cliffs that skirt

the bay and ocean, with roads branching off now and then and a aim posted eonapIcuously ordering "Civilians

Keep Out." and an armed sentry near

by to add Impresalveness to the men-

From the Presidio It is but a short diataaee to the entrance of Golden

Gate ' Park, and the AeaaUfet immd

to the still more beautiful grounds of the park. The park roadways are delightfully wide and over them sweeps a stream of automobiles and carriages, too numerous to estimate. There are miles of these drives flanked on either side by beautiful groves or flowered open spaces. " By far the most popular drive is through the park to the ocean front and on to the site where formerly stood famous Cliff House. This, however, .is no more, baring been destroyed by fire several years ago. . . : ' A Day in Berkeley. We spent a day in Berkelej. across the bay, at the University of California, with Dudley Cates, a former

Richmond boy. Young Cates is a student at the university and under bis

guidance the beauties and wonderful

advantages of this seat of learning were revealed. The famous Greek theater, William Randolph Hearst's donation as a large tablet sets forth, is here and provides a place without parallel in America, for out-door presentation of dramatic and other entertainments and exercises. Many new buildings, fine ones, too, are being

erected on the university , grounds. The grounds themselves are very pic

turesque and are more or less enclosed by beautiful groves of Eucalyptus and oaks, the latter estimated to be several thousand years old. And all nestling snugly at the base of a fine range of high hills on which are more Eucalyptus groves. The Eucalyptus Trees. California, by the way, appears to have gone daft on the subject of growing Eucalyptus trees. These trees, an Australian native hardwood, thrive In balmy California's climate and soil, and in the short space of from seven to ten years from time of planting, tower ninety and a hundred feet high, and have a diameter of eleven and twelve inches. An acre of ten year old Eucalyptus yields about one hundred thousand feet of hardwood timber. On my return from the Hawaiian Islands I shall visit one or two commercial Eucalyptus groves and report to the Palladium, by letter, the result of an Investigation of this new way of farming. We leave San Francisco tomorrow at one o'clock for the Hawaiian Is

lands. Korea is the name of the 18,-

000 ton steamship that will be our

home for the next six days; a liner of

the Pacific Mail Steam Ship Co., one of our eminent Mr. E. H. Harriman's minor possessions. However, if his steamship is as well managed as his realroads, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and so on, ad infinitum, are, we will not complain on account of the ownership. The good ship Korea is

equipped with wireless so we will

"pull off" a Jack Binn's stunt if any

thing bumps a hole in her. March fif

teenth will see us In Honolulu and from there, as soon as we have a chance to pick up some interesting news, will come my next letter for the Palladium. R. G. LEEDS.

NAMES IDEAL WOMAN

Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott Gives

His Congregation the Description.

WOMAN MAN'S COMPANION

New York, March 20. The Rev. Dr.

Lyman Abbott defined "The Ideal Wo

man" in the Central Congregational church, Hancock street, near Bedford

avenue, Brooklyn.

"To be an ideal woman," said Dr.

Abbott, 'the feminine type represented in each individual must:

"1 Discard all shoes the size of

which makes walking well nigh impos

sible.

She- must not consider her hands

when' It comes to a question of work.

"3rTo obtain red cheeks, the ideal

woman must take exercise and pass

by paint and powder.

"She must not be the servant of

the dressmaker and milliner. They

are her servants.

She must not change her styles at the dictation of men in Paris.

"6 Her home must be her palace, because in- it she has developed a love of

oeauty and shown she knows how to create it. . . "7 She must be industrious, sympathetic energetic, enthusiastic, motherly and a true friend." Continuing. Dr. Abbott said: "A woman's idea of modern industry

is" playing bridge whist morning and

night. Her Idea of modern life is to

be supported by some one else.

"The ideal woman does not consider work- unwomanly. She believes that

wnatever concerns her husband con cerns her. If the ideal woman's fam

ily finds fault with her cooking, she does not blame the cooking. She

blames the food, and changes it.

"Woman was meant to be man's companion, and if the idea were property carried out there would be no affinities."

Tokio, March 20. The Nichi Nicil

avers that only American action threatening Japanese territorial inde

pendence would cause war. - Japan,

the paper declares, is incapable of ag

gressive initiative on the immigra

tion question, but if her independence

were threatened she would not hesitate to declare war, whoever the en

emy.

"Being positive, however," it goes

on, "that no American desires to sub

jugate Japan the bellicose rumors are

unwarranted and ridiculous; but when Japan hears Americans loudly

advocating an Increase of naval

strength tn the Pacific she cannot help doubting their claim that the

attitude of Americans Is not aggressive. ' " - "Americans continue to regard Japan with suspicion, and this ill feeling continues notwithstanding the efforts of the Japanese government and people to prove the sincerity and cordiality of their feelings. This distrust extends throughout Europe. It is Incomprehensible to oar people why America and Europe continue to regard Japan as seeking war. Two wars were sufficient We want peace in the future. "President Roosevelt's admonition to California that the anti-Japanese act would entail dire consequences aggravated the misunderstanding.

California interpreting bis words to mean war." The Malnichi Dempo says that American nervousness, as shown in the proposal to station a portion of the fleet In the Pacific Is "simply astounding." ; The special advices to the Asahl from its San Francisco correspondent continue to represent the situation as most alarming. The) specials claim that the anti-Japanese sentiment Is rapidly spreading and that the war feeling In America is general. These specials, widely circulated and copied, contribute to sustain the feeling of uneasiness among the Japanese people.

Oyster Bay, X. Y., March 20. A fellow-passenger of ex-President Roosevelt and the other members of the Roosevelt Smithsonian African expedition on their voyage from Naples to Mombasa on the steamer on the steamer Admiral, is to be the noted naturalist, Richard Tjader, who already has leftNew York for Europe. He is going into about the same country as Mr. Roosevelt's expedition, but

will not join that party: His work

will be for the American Museum of Natural History of New York. Mr. Tjader will spend six months in Africa, and hopes to make a collection of rare animal specimens for the museum. In his outfit, which is somewhat similar to Mr. RooseTelt's, are several lion traps. Mr. Roosevelt Is taking none of these, relying ' upon his rifle for ; suitable : specimens of these animals. With a member of the firm which supplied a greater part of his personal outfit for the African trip, ex-President Roosevelt made a careful inspection of the articles. Four men from New York came to Oyster Bay by automobile, in which they brought a portion of Mr. Roosevelt's outfit, which had been ordered last August. Careful Inspection. Mr. Roosevelt saw his small teats

pitched on the lawn, and everything

put in order for oecapaney. Every! detail of the outfit was gone over. and in a number ot instances deficien- j

cies were pointed out by Mr. Roosevelt. These missing parts will be packed in New York. Part ot the outfit was taken back to New York and it will be placed on board the steamer Hamburg at Hoboken daring the week. The remainder of the outfit Is being packed by Mr. Roosevelt. , The ex-president was enthusiastic during the inspection of the outfit, and expressed himself on being highly pleased with the clever manner . in which the material were made and packed.: y" ;;: Before finally packing his guns Mr. Roosevelt took them out to his target range and discharged each hah a dosen times. It is said that ho succeeded in hitting the bull's eye in a majority of the shots during the practice.
