Mr. Jay Sims Writes Most Interestingly of
That Sunny Clime.
Mr. Jav Sims, who is a musician in
Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show now
touring t'he continent of Europe,
writes of his travels to his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Jno. A. Sims, and we
are privileged to make extracts from
his letter as follows :
I wrote you a letter before we left
Marseilles, I believe, and enclosed
route ud to this town, so will write
again to keep you informed as to our
whereabouts.
We opened in Marseilles to fine
business, fine weather prevailing
Then Toulon, where France's greatest
naval station is situated. Played Nice
for four days- an earthly paradise,
the palm trees and other tropical
plants reminding one of other climes;
elegant hotels and pub-lie buildings;
fine avenues and promenades by the
sea; great winter resort for the rich
people of all countries, mostly Ameri
cans, English, German, Russian and
French ; the swell equipages, fine
clothes and, above all, beautiful wo
men. Monte Carlo, the world
famous gambling place, is only a
short ride on train or street cars.
Some of us went over every day. It
is certainly a beautiful place where
all the rich people go to lose their
money. Suicides occur nearly every
day. An entire cemetery is given
over to suicides alone. This is a
small country to itself, being a prin
cipality held by the Prince of Mo
naco, who is at the head of the
bank at Monte Carlo, "Monaco" be
ing the name of the country,
We last one day going to Genoa,
Italv. arriving there about :5 p. m.
Showed there three days. I visited
ihe house where Christopher Colum
bus was born nothing except the
bare rooms, all his belongings leing
preserved in Spain.
Leghorn was the next important
city. Showed there three days.
We lost another day going into Home.
Showed there one week. We of
course devoted all of our spare time
to touring the "Eternal City." We
visited lots of places, mostly the ruins
of a former grandeur. 1 rode a
bicycle out on the Appian Way (which
is the oldest road in Italy) for about
five miles. On either side of the
way you see remnants of grand
monuments that stood in memory of
great Romans. The Claudian aque
duct runs parallel for some distance.
This is the famous aqueduct built by
Claudius to bring water into Rome.
Parts of it are still in fair preserva
tion. Visited the Forum, where the
ruins of many palaces and temples j
are lying about, fine columns of mar-1
ble stnmhng here and there. The
colosseum stands near by. also the
arch of Constantine, the palace of
the Ca-sars, etc. The arches of Titus
and Septimus Ceverus stand amid
the ruins of the former. Went to
St. Peter's Cathedral and saw the
gilt urn that is said to contain the
ahes of Peter. Climbed to the top
of the dome and up inside the gilt
ball that looks from a distance like
a billiard ball. It is large enough to
hold sixteen men. Went to St.
John's church and saw the table on
which the Lord's last supier was
eaten ; also ascended the steps which
were the last Christ walked up at
Jerusalem. They were brought to
Rome from the Roman governor s
palace (Pontius Pilate) at Jerusa
lem. Thev are covered over with
wood and vou see tne steps uirougn
glass at different places.
The king and queen came to tne
show one day, and the queen request
ed a special performance, which was
given the next day. She brought
her three children and their nurses.
The show was to have been given an
audience with the Pope, but when
the king visited the show first that
settled it. The Pope requires all
sovereigns to acknowledge him first,
and must ask to be received by him
first or he won't see them at all.
This rule applies to all, of smaller
calibre-the same. I made a short visit
to the Vatican museum, but it is so
large I didn't have time to see hardly
anything. One could spend a year
in Rome and be tjusily engaged in
touring and visiting museums. We
didn't have a drop of rain from the
time we opened in Marseilles until
we reached Rome ; then it com
menced to fall, and with the excep
tion of two days it was a very" vve
stand.
Our next stand of note was Flor
ence for three days a beautiful city
full of imDosing-nalaces. monuments.
museums, etc.. and is the mecca of
the artistic and intellectual world.
This city contains more works of art
of priceless value than any other
place in the world, it is said. Some
beautiful churches are here built of
white and black marble, and the ef
fect is unique. I made no attempt
to visit the museums, as our time
was so limited. The city is full of
American and English people,
wealthy ones, of course, predomina
ting. Parma, April 4. We were to show
Pisa today, but- for some reason the
town was cancelled, so we have spent
the day coming to Parma, where we
show tomorrow. For the past few
days we have been in the mountains,
excepting Florence, and it has been
very cool. It snowed very heavily
five nights ago. The mountains are
all covered with snow, and today we
crossed some high mountains and
were up in the snow for a while.
We had three engines on our sec
tion we are running in four sec
tions now. We came through nu
merous tunnels, the longest one being
9 kilometres (55 miles).
After we left Rome the weather
has been good, excepting one day.
The business has invariably been
good -enormous is the better word,
there being no exception since our
opening in Marseilles, people often
fighting to get tickets. So if you
hear of Bnffalo Bill's show being
busted, which I think is the general
rumor in the United States, just tell
them to guess again.
I hear that our tour in Italy is
likelv to be prolonged, and that our
tour through Germany will not be as
long as originally intended. I hope
we will get to see Switzerland, too.
I was very much disappointed in
not Wing able to visit Pisa. That is
the town where the famous leaning
tower of Pisa is, one of the seven
wonders of the world. We will not
see Naples either. So Mt. Vesuvius
Iwilt rot be honored by our presence.
THE SITUATION IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Baltiii!"re Sun. 24th.
A drenching storm yesterday
caused, much misery in the refugee
camps about San Francisco.especially
in those where waterproof tents were
not available and the people slept
upon the bare ground. It is feared
many cases of pneumonia will de
velop. . The fire along the water front was
rekindled and became threatening
for a time.
The sufferers by earthquake and
fire are undismayed, and already are
busy clearing up the ruins prepara
tory to rebuilding.
There is plenty of food for the
refugee camps, the only question be
ing its systematic distribution.
President Roosevelt has ordered
that there shall be no discrimination
against Chinese in the distribution of
relief.
The burnt district covers an area
of seven square miles.
Many of the steel-frame buildings
can be repaired in a comparatively
short time.
- H. C. Tilden, a member of the re
lief committee, was shot and almost
instantly killed by mistake by mem
bers of the citizens' patrol.
President Roosevelt's declination
of offers for assistance from abroad
is resented in Berlin, where the
Tageblatte says the President seems
to be declaring ethical independence
of the Old World.
The California relief committee in
New York passed a resolution, ac
cording to Gaylord Wilshire, asking
the President not to interfere with
anyone desiring to give sympathy or
pecuniary aid.
The courts will resume sessions to
day, the proceedings being held in a
synagogue.
; At a meeting of the Clearing House
Association an opinion was expressed
that all the banks would be able to
meet their calls.
Two refugees went insane on trains
before reaching Ogden, Utah.

Red Wine Put Fire Out.
An incident of the fire in the Latin
quarter on the slope of Telegraph
Hill at San Francisco was the use of
wine instead of water in fighting the
! fire.
The only available water supply
was found in a well dug in early
days. At a criticial moment the
immn suddenly sucked dry and the
water in the well was exhausted.
Italian residents crashed in their
cellar doors with axes, and, ca'ling
for assistance, began rolling out
barrels of red wine. The cellars
eave forth barrels until there was
full 5(H) gallons ready for use. Then
barrel heads were smashed in and
the bucket brigade turned from
water to wine. Sacks were dipped
in the wine and used for beating out
the fire. Beds were stripped of their
blankets and these were soaked in
the wine and hung over the exposed
portions of the cottages, and men on
the roofs drenched the shingles and
sides of the house with wine. The
wine won and the plucky firefighters
saved their homes.

'The land on which we live and

sea writers of the early part of the
last centurv confidently and almost
affectionately termed terra firma

the two is largely a difference
of effect-the difference between a
billow and a ripple."
This was written bv one of the
editors of the Scientific American
just after the Mont Pelee disaster.
It is of particular interest at tne
present time when scientists are be
fogging the public with the multi
plicity of their explanations ot the
San-Francisco earthquake.
The fact of the matter is that all
the scientists are guessing as to what
caused the earthquake. One theory-
is just as good as another. .No one
knows, and it is impossible for any
one to prove that his theory is cor
rect. Theories relating to all
branches of scientmc study are con

Baltimore Sun.
In a letter from Singapore, pub
lished in the Sunday Sun, Mr. W. J.
Bryan discusses the subject of self
government for the Filipinos. Mr.
Bryan asserts that the Filipinos have
a right to self-government and that
they desire to exercise this right. It
is not true, he declares, that intelli
gent Filipinos prefer American
sovereignty to self-government. Dis
charged American soldiers who have
married native women and are
"growing up with the country" are
almost unanimously of the opinion
that the natives have little fondness
for Americans. Mr. Bryan divides
the Filipinos into three classes: The
"precious few" who are friendly to
Americans and who believe the pres
ent form of government is beneficial
to the Islands; those who are benefi
ciaries of the government and have
a sort of "expedient friendship" for
Americans; the great majority have
absolutely no use for us. The Fil
ipnos allege a lack of sympathy and
of interest on the part of Amt. icans
in respect to legislation; further
more, the,' insist that Americans are
not sufficiently acquainted with Phil
ipine affairs to legislate wisely. They
declare that American rule is un
necessarily expensive and they point
to the large salaries which are paid
to the officials of the government of
the islands. They assert that money
taken from the insular treasury has
been squandered in the construction
of a wagon road for the benefit chief
ly of certain officials. On this proj
ect $2,500,000 has been spent and the
road is still unfinished. Mr. Bryan
believes that a stable government
can be established within a short
time; that independence can be grant
ed to the natives in five years with
safety to the Filipinos-and advantage
to our government. He promises to
set forth in his next letter a plan of
independence for the Philipines which
will relieve us of the expense of
colonialism and secure us every legi
timate advantage which could be ex
pected from a permanent occupation
of the islands. Having studied the
Philipine problem at close range,
Mr. Bryan is able to speak with a
authority which will command re
spectful consideration.

Fnsco SUnds on a "Jelly."
Most of the destruction done by
the earthquake in San Francisco was
practically inevitiable, in view of the
site upon which the greater part of
the business section of the city was
constructed and the charecter of its
composition. This was no less than
a deep marsh originally covered with
peat or open water.
Into these bogs for 16 years from
1852, at two intervals, sand was
dumped which had been torn from
the hillsides by steam shovels that
took out a cubic yard (a ton and a
half) at each scoop. When the
swamps and mud flats were finally
filled so that their surface was firm
they were even then, and have ever
since been, only more or less jelly like
masses.
Through this material all the pipes
of the water and sewer system of
San Francisco in its business district
and in most of the region south of
Market street were laid. When the
earthquake came the filled-in ground
shook like jelly, the iron pipes broke
and the water system was instantly-disabled.
