The most perplexing feature of the Eastern question is that “Youag Turkey” has been discovered to be a tougher party than old Turke, Surprises are always happenfng. For example, we have seen what seems to be the end of the Blythe case before we have seen the end of the estate. The powers would gladly suppress the rising spirit of Islam, but unfortunately the crescent has two bhorns and they do not know whicn one to siton. The House of Representatives will not force the hand of the President in dealing with Cuba, but whenever he is ready to act it will be prompt tosupport him. While the Republicans of the Senat» will not rush the tariff bill they will keep pushing it along and may succeed in get- ting it through much sooner than some | people expect. An attempt has been made to induce President Kruger 10 attend the Queen’s jubilee, but the wary old man has de- ciined. He is not going to set himself up asa side show to make a London holiday. According to statistics recently pub- lished by the Ministry of Puablic Instruc- tion in France the novels most read bv the people are those of the elder Dumas, with those of Zola second and Daudet third. Balzac and Hugo are low cown 1n the list. The programme of action arranged by the Republicans of the Senate promises to provide a speedy olution of all differences in the party on matters of detail and gives assurance that there will be none of that wrangling which disturbed the Damocrats when they undertook to make a tariif. The Chicago man who claims to have discovered a means of producing gold and silver from base metals need not trouble himself to convince scientific men of the excellence of his process. II he can trans- mute lead and iron into a metal which the goldsmiths will accept as gold the world is his. The Greeks have th- satisfaction of knowing that they did not back down from the struggle for justice in Crete as shamefully as the great powers backed down from their demands for reform in Armenia. Greece fought while she could, but the other so-called Christian nations did not fight at ail. The South Park Commssioners of Chi- ca-o having become dissutisfied with the quality of the icecream served at the re- freshment-rooms of the parks have given orders that it is to be prepared herealter by the park employes, and thus another great municipal want is to be supplied on socialistic prineiples. A man in Delaware was recently sen- tenced to receive five lashes and three months’ imprisonment for stealing an umbrells, and while no one would like to see such penalties inflicted hers it would be gratifying if some of onr persistent umbrella borrowers would make a trip to Delaware some day and be caught there. An expert statistician has found that out of 930,000.000 people who rode on the raflways of England last vear only 386 were killed. while ou* of 4,000,000 living in London 568 were killed by falling out of windows, whence he draws the seem- inely fair conclusion that it is safer to ride on a railway in England than it is to live in a nouse. The statement of “Silv-r Dick” Bland that he will not compromise with a Palmer and Buckner man any more than with a McKinley man is good enough as &n expression of opinion, but it would have been more discreet in Mr. Bland to wait until some gold Democrat had offered 10 compromise. It isn’t permissible even to a summer girl to rejact an offer before it is made. While neither the President nor the Sec- retary of State have made any definite declaration with regard to Cuban affairs, several members of Congress bave made it known that the administration is working steadily to secure for Cuba peace with in- dependence. Certainly, neither on this nor any other question will McKinley have uny policy different from that outlined in the platform on which be was elected. At a meeting of the New York House- hold Economic Association iast week one of the women members, in discussing the servant problem, seid: *“We don’t treat our servants in a business-like way. Let us put uniforms on them, as Colonel War- ing did on his street-cleaners. It has an cffectat once. They bebave differently.” The proposition was not received with much favor, possibly because it was too brilliant for New York. may try it. THE REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME The programme of action adopted by the Republican canens on th: tariff bill is awise onein eviry respect. It provides ample opportunity for individual Senators to present the claims of the industries of their constituents, while at the same time maintaining party discipline, and further- more it gives promise of a much speedier enactment of the bill than has been feared for some time past. Under this programme no set speeches will be made by the Republican Senators. They will content themselves with ex- plaining the various features of the meas- ure which may require explanation. Any Republican who desires 1o amend the bill will submit his proposed amendment to a committee which has been ciosen to con- sider it. If the committee rejects it the proposer has the privilege of appeal to the Republican caucus. In this way the vote of the whole Republican strength in the Senate will be brought to bear on every issue, and the chances of carrying through a genuinely protective measure will be much incieased. In carrying out this programme Senator Aldrich announced in opening the debate vesterday: “It is my purpose 1o keep the bill continuously before the Senate to the exclusion of ail other legislative business until it is finzlly disposed of, and in this Ishall expect the hearty co-operation of Senators on both sides of the chamber.” By pushing the measure in this way it may be possible to finish witbin two weeks and to have the bill go intoeffect by the begin- ning of the nex: fiscal year. True to his promise to confine himself to explanations of disputed schedules Senator Aldrich entered at once upon a consideration of the sugar duties, about which there has been ro much said and written ever since the Finance Committee reported the bill to the Senate. On that subject the Senator spoke with the weight of an established authority. He elabo- rately analyzed the whole of this compli- cated subjcct, pointed out that the biil as reported does not give undue advantage to beet sugars as compared with cane sugars, and on the issue of the amoant of protection given to refiners said: “The protection afforded by the differentials proposed by the Senate committee is, 1 believe, not only less by percentage but less with reference to the actual require- ments of the industry than tbat afforded by rates proposed upon any other impor- tant product.’’ It is not to be expected that the explan- ation given by Senator Aldrich will silence the controversy on the subject. The im- portant point is that the Senator did not speak one moment longer than was neces- sary to make clear this feature of his bill. Heset the example of shortdirect speeches and kept close to the programme adopted by his party. Tha outlook for a prompt sotilement of the issue which has so long disturbed business is therefore encourag- ing, and if the Democrats do not commut one of their usual blunders and begin to filibuster and interpose obstacles we may soon see a new tariff enacted and the country ready to go forward to other things. M'EINLEY AND OUBA. All reports from Washington are to the effect that the action of the Rpublicans of the House of Representatives in refn - ing to consider the Morgan reolution | recognizing the belligerency of the Cuban patriots was not due to any lack of sym- pathy with the strugeling people of the island, but solely to a desire to avoid any- thing like an attempt at forcing the hand of the administration. It is well under- stood by the Republicans that the Presi- dent desires to secure for uba peace with independence, and they intend to leave | him a free band to accomplish that result. Confidence in the intention and ability of the President to carry out the pledge of the National platform on the Caban ques- tion is felt by all classes of Republicans. Even the most ardent of Cuban sympa- thizers are not disturbed by the seeming deluy of the aaministration. In a letter read at the recent Caban mass-meeting in Washington Senator Chandler expr. ssed the conviction of the stanch friends of the patriots on the subject by saying: There need be little fear that these pledges will be violated. President McKinley willingly recognizes the binding force of the platform upon which he was elected, and will soon do his part toward making Cuba free aad inde- pendent. He may proceed with what wiil seem to impatient spirits to be undue caution, with the cries and groans ringing in his ears of unmsrmed men, women and children enduring inhumaa cruelty and dastaraly murder, but he will not fail to be faitk:ful to his pledges, and he will before long register the decree which went forth in his triumphent election, that Cuba should be taken from the control of Spain and made peaceful and independent. In this faith in & great party and its Pre dent, let us rest patiently and most hopefuily. It is in that faith the Repablicans of the House are now waitinz. They wiil do nothing to complicate the situation or render the duty of the President more difficalt. Wnen he is prepared to act, however, he can count on prompt support from the House. The very strengtn by which the majority brushed aside Bailey’s attempts to force a comsideration of the Morgan resolution is a proot that it will be able to act with vigor when the right time comes, SAN LUIS OBISPO. Stimulated by the success of the San Joaquin Valley Railrond, both as private investment and public benefaction, the people of San Luis Obispo County are earnestly agitating a scheme for an east and west railroad which shall afford the southern counties of the San Joaquin Val- ley an outlet 1o the sea via the city of San Luis Obispo. The route which seems to be considered most desirable would bave its eastern terminus at Bakersfield and would traverse the great Carisa Plains, thus opening up to rich possibili- ties a vast section of country that is to-day only a series of immense sheep and catt| ranges. With such & line, it is argued, San Luis Obispo would become one of the important seaport towns of California. The Government is now building a breakwater in San Luis Obispo Bay, and those who are most enthusiastic over the eastand west railway idea prophesy the speedy coming of the time when lines of steamships chall be employed in commerce between San Luis Obispo and foreign ports direct, and when tne southern counties of the 8an Joaquin Valley, with their wealth of products, shall enjoy the solendid ad- vantage of a seaport close to their door— or, to be explicit, within a hundred miles of the capital of Kern County, 8an Luis Obispo being nearly due west from Bakers- field and almost midway between San Fraucisco and Los Angeles. There is certainly a future of rare promise in store for San Luis Obispo County. When the Southern Pacific Company closes the gap on the coast line between Guadaloupe and Santa Barbara it will share with the other counties on the route the benefits derived from being on a through line of travel, and the virtues of its climate, mild and even, warm Perhaps Boston [ days in winter and cool nignts in sum- mer, the healing properties of its numer- ous mineral springs, the wonderful fer- tility of its soil—a mine of vegetable goid from which only the surface creppings have been taken—will then, upon proper introduction to the outside world, receive that attention and appreciation which must beget for- that portion of our State an era of unparalleled prosperity. While eagerly looking toward the fu- ture with its promised boons the people of San Luis Obispo are preparing to welcome the new era ir a befitting manner. They are steadily moving forward, and im- provements are to be observed there on every hand. For instance, it may be noted that in the county’seat several fine brick blocks arecontemplatea or in course of construction. Pismo Beach has re: cently changed hands, and rumor hasit that a magnificent caravansary will add to the attractions of that seaside resort in the coming year. The dairying inaustry on the coast is being annually increased in extent and value; new orchards and vineyards are springing up throughout the interior of the county; and, if that east and west railway should become a reality, San Luis Obispo might realize the highest anticipations of the most hopeful and sanguine of her people and take rank among the leading counties of the State. A CHINESE LEAGUE. A circular has just been issued bearing the title, “'First Voice of the Americanizea Chinese of the United States to the Pub- lic.” It purports to be issued by “the Chinese Equal Righis League of Amer- ica,” is dated at Chicago and signed by Wong Chin Foo, president. The object of the league is said to be the repeal of the Chinese restriction law, and the cir- cular asks for moral, political and pecuni- ary aid from the American people gener- ally. After describing the restriction law of 1882 as an outrage by which “the rights and liberties of nearly a‘ quarter of a million lawful and industrious citizens of the United States were swept away, arbi- frarily and unconditionally, for all time to come,”” the circular says: Fellow-citizens, we appeal to you to assist us, both morally and financially, to restore to the Americanized and American-born Chinese of the United States their Tights to citizen- ship ; we do not ask this for any other class of Chinese in this country, and we have abso- lutely no sympathy for those of our country- men who persist {n their own civilization and Tefuse to become Americanized, and whose only aim is to earn money enough to return 1o China ; with these we bave nothing to do. We are for the Americanized and American- born Chinese only, and for their honor and equal menhood we now appeal 10 you for jus- tice. We feel greatly distressed to think that not- withstanding the love we cherish in our nearts for the home and country in which we live, but cannot legally call it our own, we are not permitted 10 share with you in its glories and responsibllitles. We feel grieved and humili- ated every time we behold our colored breth- Ten, even from the wilds of African jungles, sit and eat from the National family table, while we, the descendants of the oldest race on earth, are not even allowed to pick up the crumbs from under the tablel We feel it, I low-citizens, and we weep in silence! Who will helpus? Where are the country’s Wash- ingtons, Sumners, Beechers, Lincolns and Grants? It will be noted there isa good deal o! cunning in this appeal. The distinction drawn between the **Americanized China- men" and those who have come here sim- ply to make money shows the smooth blandness of Mongolian diplomacv. It will'not deceive any one on the Pacific Coast, wher: it is well known that a Chinaman never becomes Americanizad, but it will have a persuasive effect in the East and is likely to awaken there a sen- timent which may prove troublesome un- less promptly guarded against. According to the circular it is the inten- tion of the league to begin a campaign this fall against the restriction law with the object of presenting a peiition for the repeal of it at the next session of Con gress. It 1s announced that the leagne has a contribution of $3000 to start with, bat this it frankly declares is not a drop in the bucket of what will be needed in the fight. The first step will be to hold mass-meetings in the larger cities of the Union, after which a National convention will be called 1o perfect the organization and prepare it for an incessant war against the law. Until something more is known of the league thaa is aisclosed by its ‘first voice” it will not be easy todecide whether it is the leginning of a dangerous agita- tion against Chinese restriction or only a scheme to obtain coutributions of money on which the officiais of the league can live comfortably. The movement is at any rate one which it will be worth our while to watch, and it will be interestin: to see what Americans will identify them- selves with it by contributing money or taking part in the proposed mass-meet- ings.

Grand-Carteret of cari- catures bearing on the Greek and Cretan question has been published by the Soclete Francaise d'Editions d’Art in Paris, says the tminster Gazette. They are collected from the Kuropean countries—Greece, France, England, Russia, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Switzeriand. and America. There is even one from Turkey, in which the jubilant figure of the Sultan gives undoubted testimony that the Westminster carfoons are not unknown in tnat exclusive country. The collection is an interesting one, and may be described as a concert of p'ctorial and satirical comment on the events in Greece and Crete. The concert of Europe comes in for a good deat of ridicule from all quarters, Eut the most interesting feature of the cari- | ton at Santa Clara. To-night he will address a pub.ic meeling at Watsonyille, to be hoold under the auspices of Court Watsonvil e. On Thursday he will be in this City. He will visit Courts Mission and Noe Valley, and on the following night will pay a visit to Court Goiden West, and on Saturday he will be pres: ent a: the Independent Order of Foresters' celebration at the Cnutes.

Oa the whole, we pride ourselves that he is & 1air pictorial type, and most of the other nations are coming round to that view, as may be seen from the skeich above.

The all-absorbing topic in Woodmen circles in Alameda County is the coming union pienic and reunion of the fourteen camps of that county to be held at San Lorenzo Grove on Saturday, June 5. Great interest is being teken in the log-sawing and chopping con- tests, two events in which nearly every camp will have entries. The literary exercises will be between the hours of 11 and 12, basket dinner from 12 to 2, after which tne Wood- men sports, games, etc., will take place. The First Artillery band of twelve pieces has been engaged for the dayand when not otherwise engaged will supply music for the dancers in the pavilion.

A Military Event Possessed of Many Attractive Realistic Features. A Captain Makes aa Inquiry and Is Informed That All Is Fair in Love and War—To-Day’s Ev:nts. Yesterday forenoon there was in the vicinity of the pumping plant at Moun- | tain Lake at the foot of Golf Hill a repeti- ! tion of the field exercises of the previous | day by the infantry. There was more ! realism yesterday than on the previous day in that the convoy, consisting of three | companies of infantry under command of | Captain Louis P. Brant, were in the uni- form of blue, while the company ‘hat was detailed to capture the wagon irain and was under command of Second Lieutenant Charles L. Bent was attired in brown suits, and the contest was the blues against the browns. Then in addition there was a train of two wagons, and the | firing of blank cariridzes by means of which it became possible to note the ad- vantages that either side gained. The movements were more deliberate and more cautiously e¢ffected, and it was evi- dent that tbe lesson of the previous day | had not been lost on the officers who were | in that engagement. { The train and convoy moved up the road that leads to Golf Hill, intending to | pass down the defile to a point west of the pumping plant. As soon as the head of the command reached a rise in the road that gave a view of the apen country a halt was ordered, and, according to tac- tics, the captain in command dismounted, | took a hurried survey of the ground and surroundings, and then sent scouts to the | front to reconnoiter. These moved in three sections—one in the center, one on the left and the other on the right of the gully in which the Browns mignt be con- cealed. These with one exception moved as directed, Lhe one exception being that they did not keep their distances, but that was soon corrrected. After that small patrols were sent outas supports to the scouts, and as these moved in line of | skirmishers the reserve of the convoy was { advanced with the wagons. In a few mo- | ments one of the scouts of the center dis- | covered the Browns under cover of the brush in which they were lying in wait for the train to approach, and gave the signal by raising his rifle, 'heid horizon- taily, three times over bis head. In the meantime two couriers from the leit sec- tion rushed up to Captain Brant to advise | him verbally of the discovery of the | Browns and of their location. | Upon this report the captain formed his plan ot action. He ordered a company to tbe extreme right to take a position be- | hind a row of pine trees, from which the | men could command a good view of the Browns and at the same time be under ex- | cellent sneiter. Then a portion of one com- pany, led by 8econd Lieutenaat Dennis E. Nolan, marched to a small guily to be ready to make a centerattack, while a skir- mish line moved through the open down the left of the position, in which the Browns were concealed. For a few moments there was not asound to indi~ cate the positions of the men, but sud- denly ihere came from the direction of Lieutenant Nolan's command a couple of | sharp reports, shots firea at a Brown, | whose head popped up above the brush. | Then came a volley from the right flank | and a roply from t. e Browns and another |- volley from the center. The right again | engaged the Browns and theskirmish line on the left gave signs of life by firing a round or two. About this time the en- gagement was exceedingly realistic and | exciting, but as the ammunition was lim- | ited to a very few rounds, the execution by actual firing was not as effective us if each man had been furnished ten rounds. It left too much to the imagination in order to carry out the further movements. To a mau on top of Golf Hill it looked very much as if the Browns had got into atrap in which they would be annihilated by superior numbers and that the Blues had succeeded in slaughtering them or had forcea them to reireat, and th:s was emphasized wnen Lieutenant Nolan’s command made a rush across the fied and leaped the fence into the enemy’s ground. At that moment the reserve ana the wagons passed down the defile and reached the point of destination. When the men had been recalled and were as- sembled on the main road Captain J. J. 0’Connell, the inspector, called upon Cap- tain Brant for an explanation of his method of attack. This he gave, and Lieutonant Bent told what he did with the Browns and explained that his com- mand was unable, for any lengt , to cope | all sides. Then Captain Charles G. Starr of Com- any F, w o was the umpire, was asked | T B Usoisianc st itomss quite brief, 1t was that while the Browns bad not cap- tured the train they had not been dis- lodged nor captured, thereby npsetting the opinion of the men on Golf Hill To this Captain O'Connell said, “*‘Well, but—well, the umpire has piven bis de- cision,” and Le was about to order the troops 10 quarters, when _ Captain Brant asked why Lieutenant Bent had | three dismounted troopers on his ground, | and ai~o asked where their horses were, | The lieutenant replied that the horses were down in a guliy, and then the cap- tain wanted to know further if the three men in blue were not placed there by the lieutenant as decoys to deceive the Blues ;"id then asked the inspector if that was air. “*Captain Brant,” replied the inspector, with Chesterfieldian politeness, “‘you must remember that in loveand war everything is fair, and if Lieutenant Bent could get some men in blue to act as decoys it shows that he has good tegic ideas.” The complimented lientenant smiled and there was a laugh along the line that was checked only when the command wi given “Fours right, march.” The outpost duty this morning will cover a front of avout 3000 yards—from the gate at Central awenue to Lobos Creek. The main line of resistance wiil be at the stone wall which is being built from Cen- tral avenue west and forms the south line of the Presidio reservation. The entire force of the garricon will be used to pro- tect the post from an enemy expected Irom the south. The maneuvers will be exceedingly interesting. — COINING A NEW LEGAL WORD. W. J. E. In New York Sun. It is always interesting to follow the coin- age of new words, especially when the defini- tion saves the use of many other words to cover their meaning. The latest in legal Pphraseology has recently been coined by Judge Brannon of the West Virginia Court of Ap- Pesls. It isthe word *ellow-servantey,” and Was used by the Judge in an opinion rendered in an action for damages by an employe ainsta railway company. In the course of his opinion Judze Brannon referred to “tnis tubjct of fellow-servantey (to coin & word to express the idea in, one word). By fellow- servantcy we mean that where tnere aro two SeTvants or employes of & common master or | in opera. with the large force which engaged it on | P4 mild. being entirely free from the mists com- employe, and one of them from the negligent actof 1he other receives fijury, the master Dot ifable for the sume, becau-¢ when a ser- t enters the service of a master he assumes and runs the risks anddangers incident to the fervice, and it js unreasonuble that he shouid call on the masier to make good to him wil Qamages that may befall him from the acts of any and of all f2liow-servans in the employ of the master.” Fellow-servintey willno doubt find & place in future dictionaries, FI1Z IMMONS ANu LANNA. shington Post.
