That they fear this result is evident, and that they are taking the best means to bring it about is also evident. The tireless and subtle flattery toward the United States employed by all classes in England has had its effect, and the American people are in a complacent and compliant mood toward the most ex- treme proposition for an English alliance. If the other powers were wise in the means chosen to carry out their desire to prevent this substantial | union of the two countries, they would pursug a dif- ferent course in the Peace Conference and in their diplomacy outside. They maké the mistake of ad- mitting that England has sentiment in the matter, and that her motive is altruistic. Conceding that this | country is not in shape to plead altruism in purpose, s as well to understand that England is without any | sentiment beyond self-interest and sclf-prucr\mion.i While it is true that she prevented a Continental con- cert against us in the Spanish war, it is equally true | that she surrendered to arbitration of the Venezuela | wccident of Sunday in which the life of hed out by a car on Third | ther name to the rapidly increas- | the derless care, and renews the | the city compels the car companies | do | fer uip their with proper fenders they will 1 that direction. | ional cry of | against the car company over the accident | er its lesson impressive.

From the present Board of Supervisors much may be expected. It has given promise of good work, and here is an opportunity for it to show itself worthy of the best hopes the people entertain of it. The fender | auestion has been so long debated and so frequently investigated that the board ought to have its records sufficient data on which to base a well con- sidered and judicious fender ordinance. No good rea- son can be assigned for any long postponement of ac- tion. The whole subject has been gone over again and again, and it is just as possible to adopt a proper fen- der and order its use by the street car companies now as a year hence. The people do not expect impossibilities; they do not demand an ordinance which will go beyond what is just and right. They do expect, however, that| something will be done to prevent these fatal acci- dents, which have now become altogether too fre- quent on our streets. The death list of the fenderless | ears is becoming appallingly large. We call them “fenderless” because that is what they virtually are. The so-called “fender” with which they are equipped is of no life-saving or limb-protecting value. It serves only as an excuse for not adopting a genuine fender. It presents a seeming compliance with law and respect for the safety of passers along the streets, but beyond that is of no service whatever.

B — English newspapers are criticizing President McKin- ley for his refusal to wear golf clothes. “Is a game that is ‘dignified enough for the Prince of Wales,” they say, “not sufficiently so for the President of the United States?” There is a suspicion that the Prince of Wales has taken a part in some games which peo- ple very much humbler in station than President Mc- Kinley would not care to emulate. As Admiral Dewey started on his triumphal home- ward journey the guns of the forts of Cavite boomed forth a noisy salute in generous parting to the great sailor. The welcome which the same guns belched forth a year and a few days ago to the Admiral was quite as noisy and not by any means as generous. The Cuban soldiers, under the direction of Gomez, cbject to surrendering their arms under the condi- tions demanded by Washington. If the Cubans can do no better with their guns than they did in the Spanish war, there would hardly be any serious harm in permitting them to retain the playthings. The Southern Pacific Company has “consented” to a dismissal of the grain-rate cases. The wily managers will also probably “consent” before Judge Morrow has finished with them to pay for their impudent trifling with the Circuit Court. Dan Burns values his liberty at $3500. In settling a bill for legal services he grudgingly paid that boundary only because refusal meant war with the | United States and a European concert against her that would have been destructive. The fear of such concert compelled her to make a surrender for which | he was hooted by the nations that would have jumped at her throat if she had not surrendered. Out of all this issues the situation in the Peace Conference. The strong nations met there aré not moved by any other than the motives of ambition and seli-interest. De Staal may talk high: sentiment and culogize the figure of Peace closing the temple of Janus, and Pauncefote may talk warmly of peace as the normal state of nations, but all this is the senti- mental ambush of the deliberate purpose of the na- | tions to not yield an inch of present position or pros- pective advantage. If arbitration come it will not be | by general agreement, but will depend upon joint ac- | tion between the two countries which feel that by ar- bitrating their own differences they will gain some- thing out of the differences of others. | These countries are England and the United States. An arbitration agreement between them is the equi- valent of a declaration of war against the rest of the world. England saved herself in 1688, whea William IIT placed her at the head of the European alliance against Louis XIV, and again when she led Europe against Bonaparte. But the close of each of those alliances left the rest of Europe in an inquiring mind as to any benefit secured by any nation except Great Britain. Out of that condition has come about Eng- h isolation and her compulsory favor for the United States. % | There are Americans who could wish that this coun- | try, while accepting the situation, would do so with more show of self-respect. The proposition to send American soldiers to parade in London is one of the symptoms of the condition that has so early become apparent in the Peace Conference. England is per- | fectly well aware that such an exhibition will be taken | by the rest of Europe as evidence of her practical’ suzerainty of the United States. It will exalt her power, but will humiliate us in the eyes of every| European friend of republican institutions, What- | ever comes, and out of the stress of our anomalous position and longing for the gewgaws of imperialism | much. may come, this Government should let .Ameri- | cans retain sufficient seli-respect to refuse to permit themselves to be looked upon as the modern Hessians | of Great' Britain. ‘] i | H cent discussion of trusts before the Industrial Commission, stated it as an indisputable fact that the object of such combinations is to raise prices, | and that they attempt to do so by establishing as far as possible a monopoly of the articles the combina- | tion is engaged in producing or marketing. While Mr. Lee made the statement as attorney for | companies which are in competition with the Stan- | dard Oil Company, and was arguing of course in the | interests of his clients; it is altogether likely he was quite sincere in what he said. It is certain he gave | expression to what is the prevailing opinion of the | public on the subject. It is therefore interesting to | note that managers .of trusts, who have had large | experience in the business, assert with positiveness | that while a good many combinations have been formed with the aim of monopolizing production and raising prices, all such efforts have resulted in failure, however successful they may have been for a time. One of these authorities, General John McNulta of | Chicago, receiver of the Cattle-feeding Company, commonly known as the original Whisky Trust, is | quoted as having stated, as the conclusion of his study ’ of the books, papers and general history of that noted | organization, that its failure was due to the very iacti that it endeavored to raise prices and maintain them | at a point higher than they had been before the trust | was formed. According to the report of his statement, he lays it down as a general proposition that when a combina- tion of corporations undertake to monoplize produc- tion in a given line of industry, requiring no vast amount of capital, the combination can succeed only by reducing the selling price of the article to a level at which competition is unprofitable for smaller es- tablishments. If prices be increased a stimulus is given for new competitors to arise, and if the first of these be bought up, the very capital paid for them is used ofttimes in starting new ones.. Commenting upon the theory of General McNulta, TRUSTS AND PRICES. ON. JAMES W. LEE of Pittsburg, in a re- amount to an attornev for keeping him out of the State penitentiary, the New York Mail and Express points out that whether it be sound or unsound as an economic prin- ciple, it finds a basis of support in the history of American trade. “The oil monopoly and the sugar monopoly have almost invariably followed the only policy under which success was possible—namely, by teducing the selling price of their commodities to a level where competition became difficult and unprofit- able to those engaged in it. What the result would have been had either or both of these great corpora- tions followed the opposite course and tried to de~ stroy competition and increase prices at the same time can readily be imagined. At one point or another that policy would have been a complete and costly failure.” It is worth noting, moreover, that the ability of large combinations to undersell their competitors has been due almost wholly to the economic advantage of large plants over smaller ones. In no instance we can recall has there been anything accomplished by the trusts in the way of reduction of wages. It appears, therefore, that while the statement of Mr. Lee is seemingly correct, it expresses what is really a fallacy, and that the only way by which a trust can be suc- cessfully managed is by reducing prices rather than raising them. THREATENED MONGOLIAN INVASION. HEN the same interests that are now blatantly W:\dvocating American expansion in Asia were in full cry for the abandonment of the Monroe doctrine and the acquisition of Hawaii, The Qall warned the people of the United States, and especially our citizens on the Pacific Coast, that a covert and in- sidious attempt to deluge the country with cheap Asiatic laborers was behind the movement and that the exclusion laws were in danger. Aside from the speeches of Mr. Huntington during annual visit to San_Francisco, signs from every direction point toward the fulfillment of our predic- tions. Not long ago it was widely published that Act- ing Secretary of War Meiklejohn had declared that the application of the immigration laws to Cuba and Porto Rico by executive order did not extend the exclusion laws to those islands, and of course the same rule was applicable to Hawaii. Why Cuba was placed in the same category with Porto Rico, in the face of the proclamation under which the war with Spain was declared and prose- cuted, it is difficult to conceive. A local organ of the railroad has furnished reasons which would be an ex- planation if they were true and did not constitute a foul libel against the present administration. That paper asserts in the most positive manner. that our promise to free Cuba from the Spanish yoke and en- able its population to set up an independent govern- ment was a deliberate falsehood, aithough officially communicated to every great power upon the globe: that the United States was actuated by no such hu- | REGULARS FOR MANILA. LEAVE ON THE SHERMAN il Sixth Regiment Now on the Way. mo COL. KELLOGG IN COMMAND e BRIGADIER GENERAL BATES, U. 8. V., A PASSENGER. S Soldier Boys Who Scaled the Fence at the Wharf Had to Be Rounded Up by a Corporal’s Guard. . The transport Sherman sailed for the seat of war last night. Earlier in the day the news of the arrival of the War- ren at Manila was received. After dis- charging her cargo for the fleet it is ex- pected the Warren will be sent to Iloilo with the soldiers she has aboard to re- | lieve the California boys. If all goes | well the latter should be on their way | home in a week or ten days and in that | event may be looked for the first week in July | The Sherman has aboard 1400 men of the | Sixth Infantry and about 100 recruits. They are in command of Colonel Edgar R. Kellogg and are about as fine a lot of men as have ever sailed from San Francisco. With the exception of Com- panies C, D and I, the regiment arrived at Folsom street wharf early in the day and were at once marched aboard the transport. During the afternoon the missing companies and the recruits were brought around from the Presidio on the quartermaster’s steamer General Me- Dowell and were also put aboard. It was almost impossible to keep the | soldiers on the wharf. In twos and | threes and sometimes in half-dozens they | scaled the fence built by the Govern- ment=und made their escape. They pa- tronized the saloons in the vicinity until a corporal’s guard rounded them up and put them aboard again. When it comes to the Grant's turn to in a few days the soldiers will not find it so easy to get out for a last drink. Posts have beeh run | up over the fence and three rows of | manitarian motive; ghat candor exacts the acknowl- | edg! at, from the beginning of the trouble with | w Semental, o it = | “There are not a hundred of the Spain, it was our intention to annex the “gem of the | Antilles,” and that, having once grasped that deso- lated island with our national tentacles, we will never let go. The same proposition is applied to the Phil- ippines, although in that archipelago the conditions are different. Another paper, which looked away | from the railroad, while it rowed toward it with Dan Burns in its boat, declares that the Federal Goverfi- ment has informed the imperial combination now threatening to subject China to the fate of Poland that it will not quietly acquiesce in the partition “un- less the interests of this country are fully protected.” This pronunciamento, which is probably a mere in- vention, would mean that we are not satisfied with Porto Rico, Cuba, the Philippines and Hawaii, but | that we are determined to acquire more Asiatic terri- tory and become a confessed accomplice in imperial- istic robberies. Doubtless in the constant flow of antagonism to American institutions and American civilization there much chaff. The Government of-the United States i has never yet officially announced the purposes with which it is identified daily by the monopolistic and by the yellow press. But the evidences of the inveterate design of the imperialistic expansionists, of whom Mr. Huntington is a notable representative, to force upon the country the cheap labor of unassimilating Asiatics, alien in every respect to the American peo- | ple, are rapidly multiplying. It is well known that in this State the railroad has always resisted exclusion a and flaunted its Chinese employes in the face of indignant communities. The same policy, with Japanese substituted for Chinese, has been con- icuously and recently manifested on the lines of the | Northern Pacific. Joshua K. Brown, the Federal In- | spector of Chinese at the Hawaiian Islands, claims | that since annexation was proclaimed 12,180 Japanese | laborers have been admitted to that territory, of whom 1197 were free and the remainder bound to contract service for three years. In this recent addition to our acquisitions half the population is Asiatic, and the proportion is constantly increasing. The “little brown | men” from Japan are becoming more and more in| evidence in San Francisco. They are to be seen in | our principal hotels and on the public streets in steadily augmenting numbers. Only a few days ago the Western Addition Improvement Club, composed, | as we are informed, of 300 leading citizens, objected to | the fact that the Japanese were crowding white chil- | dren out of the public schools and demanded their | exclusion. | The expansionists are furnishing us with kindergar- ten lessons of an extremely suggestive quality. Our anticipations are already justified. —The Asiatic | crusade has begun, or rather has been revived. We | will venture the further prediction, however, that they | will not overrun America as the Tartars spread them- selves over Russian Europe, even though Mr. Hun- tington may be willing to take the part of a diplo- matic and strategic Geng13 Khan The Czar's Peace Conference has opened with a splendid prospect of a war among the national dele- gations. Russian representatives declare that Eng- land is playing the fox, and the English reply with the familiar story of‘sour grapes. An impression is gain- ing currency that the Czar's familiarity with nihilistic plots makes him smell a conspiracy even in talk of peace. Dispatches from Washington declare that the Fili- pino rebels will be forced soon to choose between the mountains and the sea. It may not be long before Aguinaldo’s soldiers will be forced to the alternative of the devil or the deep sea. The arrest of seven men on a charge of high trea- | son by order of President Kruger is regarded by the Transvaal press as “an unfortunate local incident.” It will be rather emphatically unfortunate for the pris- oners if the accusation be proved. P e The city’s bond expert sometimes manages to ar- rive at the conclusion, after some prisoner has es- caped on straw bbnds, that the sureties are worthless, The better way would be to determine the fact be- fore such bonds are accepted. The great peace conference of the Russian Czar has convened at The Hague. Meanwhile Italy, France, Germany and Russia will continue to plot for the par- tition of China on a peace basis. | com, Omar Bundy | Samuel E. Smile; barbed wire are to be strung along them.

The custom that led up to Decoration or Memorial day had its origin in the South- ern States before the close of the War of the Rebellion. Early in the spring of each year the Southern women wer, the habit of decorating the gravesel g}| their dead soldiers with flowers, and an | unwritten law fixed May 30 as the day of | observance. Similar ceremony was ob- | served in the North, but without especial | unanimity. May 5, 1868, General John A, Logan, then commander in chief of the | Grand Army of the Republic, issued an order fixing May 30 of that year as the day for strewing the graves of dead sole | diers, and it has been the custom every year since to observe that day. In many of the States Memorial day is made a le- \&al holiday. CHINESE SLAVE DEALERS WILL FEEL THE LAW Pt They Will Get Orders to Vacate. e MAYOR’S ATTORNEY AT WORK Ll IS DRAWING THE PAPERS TO FIT THEIR CASE. P Vigilant Society Proposes to Get After White Property Owners if the Statute Is Further Violated. TR The movement inaugurated by the Vigi- lant Society against the slave pens of Chinatown is going forward and gaining adherents day by day. The secretary of the organization for the suppression of yellow vice has already received replies from a number of clergymen of the city announcing their pleasure at the prospect of joining in the work. In addition’ to this, the Mayor is preparing to do his share. He has requested his attorney, D. C. Murphy, to draw up a form of notice to keepers of such houses that will con- form to the provisions of the statute vio- lated and as soon as it is completed will serve a copy on eaclr of the proprietors of Chinese houses of ill fame. Attorney Murphy will have finished his work within a day or so, from which it is inferred that the notfees will be served before the end of the week. The work of service will be under the supervision of the Chief of Police, to whom the Mayor will turn over the notices. It will then remain for the keepers to vacate their premises or to suffer arrest at the expira- tion of the statutory time for removal. That the members of the Bow Wah Tong,all of whom are proprietors of slave sens, will ignore the notices is expected They stand ready, as they have alwa stood, to defy the law and take th chances of victory by paths of corruption so familiar to Chi- nese feet. As of old, they expect to suc- ceed by tiring out the opposition. This time, the Vigilants say, they ar€ reckon- ing without their host.

On Thursday of next week delegates representing the four great wine-making counties—Santa Clara, Sonoma, Napa and Alameda—will meet in convention at the Lick House.
