SAN FRANCISCO , Feb. 10. The new Jap
anese liner America .Maru arrived here to
day from China and Japan , via Honolulu ,
ono day ahead of time. On board the ves
sel was Lord Charles Deresfonl , admiral of
the British navy- The America Mam was
met at The Heads by a government tugboat
bearing a party of distinguished citizens
who went to welcome the visiting admiral ,
who comes to this country' In a three-fold
capacity , viz. : as a British statesman , an
ofllcer of the royal navy and a commissioner
from the Associated Chambers of Commerce
of England. The party landed before the
\esscl docked by special permission and the
admiral was driven to the Palace hotel.
Lord Bcrcsford's proposal of an "open
door" policy In the Orient has been received
with great attention throughout thu world
and It will Ukely play a most prominent
part in the settlement of the far eastern
question. In an Interview today Lord Beres-
ford said :
"It means simply that Instead of 'spheres
of Influence , ' which means the breaking up
of the Chinese empire , that England , Amer
ica , Germany and Japan shall by agreement
maintain free and equal commercial rela
tions for all in the Orient. It Includes the
reorganization of < the Chinese army , otllccred
both as to commissioned and non-commls-
Eloncd ofllcers by Europeans , that the Chi
nese empire may be properly policed and
life and property made safe. As It Is now
mob * and rebellions arc liable nt any time
to destroy both lives and property , as
actually happened not long ngo nhen about
C.000,000 taels worth of property belonging
to the French mission In western China was
destroyed.
"China must have a revenue and the 'open
door' policy , by guaranteeing order and uni
formity In customs regulations nnd tariffs ,
will provide It In greater abundance than
It has ever been provided before , besides In
suring that It ahull not bo wasted as It Is
now. It will mean the opening up of the
empire In all ltn provinces and the develop
ment of KB wonderful resources of mining
and commerce- . The returns from conces
sions of these natural resources now lying
Idle will be a source of great revenue to
the empire.
"If tin spheres of Influence policy Is al
lowed to be ndoptet ] Russia -nlll , of course ,
become all powerful In the north , France In
the south. England , of course , cannot get
everything. Germany -will get what * hc can.
while America will probably get nothing ,
tor though I think she 1s destined to bo a
great trailing nation In the Orient , greater
than Great Britain or any other country ,
her Interests there now are comparatively
Blight and In the scramble It Is not likely
that the American people would fe l their
Interests demanded a struggle for a portion
tion of It at this time. But

with the ' '
'open door' her commerca
la bound to BI-OW. With the spheres
of influence of course Russia would
put on preferential tariffs In the regions
she dominated and Franco would do the
same In her territory. I don't know
whether Germany and England would or
not. Thus America would be cut out alto
gether , or practically so , from the China
trade and England from all but what she
dominated. So that America really has
more at stake In the 'open door" than Eng
land baa ,
"I go from here to Chicago , New York
and Washington to get the sentiment of the
boards of trade and chambers ot commerce
there on the proposal. "
Lord Boresford will remain here for some
time and many receptions have been planned
for his entertainment. On next Monday the
Chamber of Commerce will give- the dis
tinguished gentleman a reception and he
will probably be Invited to give his views
on some of the questions of the day , par-
ticujarly on the condition of commerce in
the far east and nn opportunity for In
vestment of American money. Mayor
Phelan will deliver the address of welcome
and other well known San Franciscans will
speak.

j SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
Innumerable complaints have been lodged
against the street commissioner within the
last few wpeks and several members of
the city council have Intimated that all of
the lumber purchased could not be accounted
for. At a recent meeting of the city council
Kelly stated that he walked about the citr
a great deal and that he noticed but few
new planks In the sidewalks. For this
reason he called upon Street Commissioner
Ross to explain where all of the lumber
went to. Rons promptly replied to the
question by saying that he had cheeked the
lumber received.
It has been suggested that an easy way
out of the controversy would be to compel
the street commissioner to make a report
'
weekly , showing where lumber for sidewalk
repairs had been used. These reports could
be placed on file In the office of the city
clerk and any property owner who felt that
he was getting the worst of it could Inspect
the records at any time and it the tally of
the street commissioner did not correspond
with the property owner's measurement
there would be cause for an Investigation
or a remeasurement. It Is thought that If
this practice , which It Is stated Is In vogue
In other cities , was made a rule here there
would be far less complaints about the re
pairs of sidewalks.
Dr. Stone has made a complaint which
the street and alley committee will be expected - '
pected to Investigate and other complaints j , ;
of a similar nature have been made , but not | i
tiled. According to the bills the city is j
certainly buying enough lumber to keep the i
sidewalks In n passable condition. The great '
trouble , however. Is that planks are fre
quently stolen. Not over a month ago a rod
of new walk was laid on the west side of
Twenty-fifth street nt the Intersection of , L
street. One plank In this new walk Is now
missing and others will most likely be torn
up before the present cold snap Is over
with. However , the stealing of planks al
ready laid will not account for the amount
of lumber alleged to bavo been used unless
the street commissioner sees fit to send to
the committee on streets and alleys nn item
ized account of whore the lumber was used
Last summer an attempt was made by cer
tain members of the ccuiIl to have the
walk on the east side of Twenty-sixth
direct , near the corner of M street , repaired.
This walk Is In n deplorable condition , as j
about ' half of the planks are missing. Or
ders ' have been issued to the street coramls-
sloner ' time and again , directing that a new
walk be laid on this property , but nothing
has i been done up to the present time and
now i It U too cold. Since these orders were !
Istiiipil the street commissioner baa torn up
portions , of walks on N street which were
In ' fairly good condition and relald them , and |
the same has been charged to the property , i
Ross has studiously Ignored the orders of
the city council as regards sidewalk repairs
and when questioned closely , falls back on j
the statement that he U obeying the orders
of the mayor by doing as little work as pos
sible during the winter. It Is a fact , how
ever , that time checks are Issued by ROBS
for labor supposed to have been performed
during some of the coldest days of the year.

the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company.
He purchased from the Reeds 4310,000 worth
of property north of Nlcholan street , and
about the same time he bought the mrwt of
Cunningham's addition. In both instances
he Immediately conveyed to Edward T.
Stotesbury , who In these -transactions rep
resented the DrexeJ Interest In the Bridge

tained a judgment for notes amounting to
over 4280,000 la the county court last eum-
mer and their three nulls are now In the
district court on appeal by the Drexel helm ,
Owing to the targe number of parties In

tingent foreclosure and sale with the ac
counting.
An exemption Is made of the Bridge and
Terminal company's right ot way through
Cunningham's addition , but the plaintiffs
ask the court 'to bar all the defendants In
every otter respect.

iner Benjamin R. Cowdery found the bank
Insolvent , conducted la an unsafe and un
authorized manner and In jeopardy of the
interests of-the depositors In his examination ,

unwise. There were unpaid subscriptions
amounting to 4100,000 of which 4250,040 was
collectible at any tlmo on call.

So el a I Function. '
The weather that Forecaster Welsh has
been banding out to the general public for
the last few days cast a gloom over most
of the entertainments set for last evening ,
but the formal opening of the Her Grand
hotel seemed to have been but little affected
by It. The old-tlmo settlers of Omaha and
many of the prominent society men and
"wcmen were there by tha score. This may
have been because of the fact that P , E.
Her Is the proprietor , or it may haye been
duu In a meoaure to the popularity of Man
ager Powell.
In the hotel arrangements for the accom
modation of a large number of guests bad
been made and tbo manager was not disap
pointed In tbo attendance , Duringtha
evening the manager and his assistants
w ro kept busy showing1 their guests
through the building. An orchestra had
been engaged for the evening and a ipacfoua
room prepared for dancing for those who
were eo Inclined. In the cafe luncheon Rod
