Mr. Rhodes writes: True to my promise to a few of my friends that I would write a few lines giving my Impressions on my way around the world, I now take a short time from sight-seeing - and with pleasure will try and describe some of the things as they appeared to me. Time is too short in each place visited for the study of the commercial op portunities, so I will simply write from a sight-seeing and pleasure-bent voyage, and where any commercial knowledge was secured will put it In. We left on the 27th of January, making several stops on the way to San Francisco, where we were met by 750 more passengers, and boarded the 8,000-ton steamship Cleveland, which was to be our home for the next three nd one-half months.
