It applies to freights to Yokohama, Kobe, Nag- | asaki, Shanghai and Hongkong. It gives on canned | goods a rate of 9o cents to the Orient from all East- ern points, while the rate on the same goods from the East to San Francisco is $1, and the rate from this | city to the Orient is 40 cents, making the total rats for San Francisco shipments $1 40 against the go cent sate given to the Eastern exporters. Other articles of export are rated in similar proportions, so that the | schedule, is, in fact, destructive to the commercial in- | The new terests of San Francisco, whether it was so intendei | or not. : It is to be noted that the New Yorkers themselves do not support Vice President Hawley in his conten- tion that “there has been no new development to bring the subject into special prominence.” The very dispatch that reported his denial reported also that | New York merchants are complaining that the same | schedule is a discrimination against their trade in the | interests of Chicago, and, furthermore, it tonfirmed? the statements of The Call by adding: - “A careful | comparison (of the rates of the schedule) shows that on many commodities the rates from New York to the Orient are not only miuch less than the combined | rates from New York to San Francisco and from San Francisco to the Orient, but that they are actually be- low the rates from New York and Chicago to San Francisco.” President Hays of the Southern Pacific Company, | in responding to tire welcome given him by the mem- | bers of the Chamber of Commerce in this city, stated | that he would at all times gladly confer with our mer chants and manufacturers concerning transportation problems, and that as far as he could do so vithout injury to his employers, the stockholders of the road, he would cordially co-operate with our merchants and manufacturers in advancing the i‘x!eres(s of the coast. The time has come for the merchants and manufae- turers to take him at his word. The existing sched- ule of oriental rates is destructive to the commercial industries of the city, and resolate and combined ef- forts should be made by our people to obtain imme- diate redress | i | strong enough. | horses. | battles. * OUR CUBAN RELATIONS. HE reported proposition of the Cabinet to exercise the powers of limitation upon Cuba in three particulars is not of a nature to rouse any apprehension that our pledges will not be kept. 1t is proposed,-in the first place, to undertake that 7| Cuba shall not become embroiled in such a foreign 'war as might involve her conquest by a European power, in violation of the Monroe doctrine, This will mean the continual tender of our good offices to ar- range by diplomacy any burning issue that may arise between the new republic and any of the great powess of Eurcpe. As, under the Monroe doctrine, we would have the right to intervene at the close of such a war, | provided it closed, as would probably be the case, ‘o the disadvantage of Cuba, to prevent the assertion by right of conquest to sovereignty of her soil, much trouble may be avoided by reserving the right to inter- vene before such a war with such a probable outcome is undertaken by the peppery island. This Iimitati of the war power will conduce to the welfare of the people, since it will turn their energies away from arms to the arts of peace, and will employ them in developing the economic resources of the island and in the education and clevation of the people. The next limitation proposed is that in the making | of commercial treaties the United States shall not be ignored nor demoted for the benefit of other nations. { France made such an arrangement with us in 1778 as the price of her alliance in our Revolution against Great Britain. It is true that we violated the French obligation as soon as we were strong enough to do. so, and Cuba may do the same with us if she get That contingency, however, does not make it any less prudent to have such a plain agree- ment now, leaving th= future to take care of itsclf as to the permanence of the understanding. The third limitation is upon the volume of the for- cign debt Cuba may zontract. It will be seen that the three limitations are interdependent, and all bear upon issues out of which war and its complications may come.- A foreign debt may easily be the means of forcing a favordble aad exclusive commercial treaty, nd such an exclusive treaty may be the proximate cause of a foreign war. Therefore the three proposi- tions all merge in one, and its purpose is to preserve the peace and therefore induce the prosperity of the island republic. While our interest is hardly secondary to the Cu- bans’ in such a result mere than we, for th ret they need such a policy e er and have not gath wea ered the wisdom of experience in the management of foreign affairs. - Tt is above all things de ests that their government shall not decline to the turbulence and instability of Hayti, where President Simon Sam’s relatio: able for their own inter- with a French milliner nea: precipitated a domestic revolution and a foreign or of San Domingo, where assassination is employed to effect a change in the administration. Nor is it desirable that commercially the island shall fall to the low plane of Jamaica. - Cuba under proper tutelage may, by and by, ex- hibit a condition of progress and prosperity that will make her the leader, by example, to guide Hayti and San Domingo to a better way than they have follower since they received their misused independence. It is even possible that some of the nations of Central and South America may in the future go to Cuba, study her way and be wiser Governments than they are now. The United States should go‘as far as our plighted word permits in starting Cuba toward a position of such importance to herself and her neighbors. Tt would be interesting to know how many per- sonal ambitiogy enter into the strenuous and some- what pa]pah!c‘_ugglery of Sacramento statesmen to make a puzzle picture of the map of California in the Congressional reapportionment. And still we have had some politicians who could win success every- where except at the polls MORE MEN FOR KITCHENER. HILE the people of the Britigh capital are pre- \)\/ paring for the funeral of the late Queen, and are considering how best to get the period oi national mourning over before spring so as not to in- terfere with the social festivities of that seasén and the sale of colored goods, Lord Kitchener is working away in South Africa at the dreary and difficult task of catching the mobile Boers and putting an end to the war in time for him to go home and have a share in the grand ceremonies at the coronation of the King. To that end he is demanding more men and more The war is one of marches rather than of The Boer generals manage to score victory after victory over scattered British detachments simply because they can travel faster than the Brit- h. To meet the conditions of the problem before kim Kitchener has been for some time past forming a large force of mounted infantry, and it is not likely he will undertake any aggressive action until he has that force thoroughly organized and drilled in the peculiar tactics the struggle demands. The war correspondent of the London Times re- | cently described the situation by saying: “The truth is that we have not nearly enough troops out in South Africa. This may appear a most startling state- | ment, but I am convinced it is a true one. When we marched up to Pretoria we had then only just a suffi- ciency of troops,to guard what we had taken. Since | then we have acquired nearly 800 more miles of rail- wzuy and several more towns. Think for a moment | what the British army has to do in South Africa, and i* will be readily conceded that I am not far from the trutk when I say that we have to furnish from the -avks of the British army political organizations for the temporary government of the two new colonies, mmunicipal police for Pretoria, Johannesburg and Rloemfontein, a large portion of the staff necessary for working over 1000 miles of railway, garrisons for hout thirty towns and villages, guards for about forty bridges, and a long line of defense for the railway, of which nearly 1800 miles has to be either patrolled or strongly held. Not a single fman thus employed is ava_lable for active operations against the enemy. To add to these burdens already borne by the army the Orange River drifts have been held and the line of fortified posts between Thabanchu and Ladybrand.” Dewet has made a fight that deserves success, but, unfortunately for him, he is opposed by an empirz of almost exhaustless resources. The tactics he has pursued’ cannot win against a foe that is able and willing to pay the cost. As fast as British gold can prrchase them horses will be bought and forwardei to Kitchener, nor will there be lacking the men to make use of them. The British general is 2 man who moves slowly. Tt took him two years to move down upon the Souda~ to attack the Mahdi. He constructed a railroad as he marched, and did not strike until all things were in readiness. He has evidently adopted the satie policy in cealing with Dewet. It is not now a question of railroads, but one of forming an army of mountei men. As rapidly as possible that army is being o | formed.. 3Vhen it is ready to move we shall probably sec the war ended with that scientific neatness which- is a characteristic of the operations of modern armies | under capable commanders. e — A CYCLONE IN - A NEEDED INVESTIGATION. Y the action of the Legislat:xre in appointing a B committee to investigate charges made againsi the police authorities of this city in relation to | their dealings with the proprietors of gambling houses | and other violators of the law an opportunity will be | afforded the people of learning the truth concerning matters of grave importance to the public. For that | reason there will be general gratification with the ap- pointment of the committee, and the gratification will be increased if the committee prosecutes its work | with thoroughness and impartiality. The charges have been made specifically and openly. t has been stated that there will be no lack of testi- | mony: to prove that there exists a “corrupt bargain” | between “the Police Department and the criminals of Chinatown”; that it will be possible to show “even more than moral proof that of the $2000 a week collected for the protection of gambling in China- town a large part finds its way into the pockefs of people not unconnected with the Police Department.” | Charges of such a definite and specific nature, made | publicly, are not to be ignored. It is a matter that | concerns the Legislature, fog if the charges be true a State law has been violated. Section 337 of the Penal Code says: “Every State, county, city, city and L county, town or township officer, or other person, who shall ask for, receive dr collect any money or ‘clf;cr valuable consideration, either for his own or the public use, for and with the understanding that he will aid, exempt or otherwise assist any person from arrest or conviction for a violation of section 330 of the Penal Code (prohibiting gambling games), or who shall issue, deliver or cause to be given or delivered to any person or persons any license, permit or other | | | | KANSAS converted to their own use or not. It is clearly a duty of the State as well as of the city authorities to investigate charges of offenses such | as these, and since in this instance an investigation by the municipal government is not to be expected, the duty of the Legislature to make one becomes impera tive. The citizens of San Francisco will welcome the committee appointed to perform the work. If the police authorities be not guilty, it is but right they | should be freed from the charges made against them If any of them be guilty steps should be taken to have him brought to answet for the offense. There is but one thing more to be said. The inves- tigation must be comprehensive. It should inclu the whole subject of the relations of the police authori ties toward the gamblers of the city. There is no reason why the examination should be confined to Chinatown. Let the investigation be thorough. e s o PHELAN'S FUTILE DODGE. / \ shaw anti-poolroom bill was on Wednesday almost unanimously condemned by the Senate Committee on Corporations, to which it had been re- | ferred. After a long and full consideration of the measure the committee decided by a vote of seven to | one to report it with a recommendation that it do not pass. The objections to the bill were based upon thec valid ground that legislation of that kind ought to be left to local legislative bodies, that each community | Laughs at Two Hawkshaws Who Thought They Had Trapped Him. “In this day of almost universal extradition treaties,” sald an old Federal official to a New Orleans Times-Democrat reporter, “it is next to impossiblz for a fugitive from justice to find a =pot bevond the reach of a warrant. But only a few years ago there were plenty of places of refuge, and the officers used to have some peculiar experieaces in trying to decoy shy birdsover the danger line. One of the funniest things of that kind that ever happened took place at Niagara Falls, when Cangda was still a haven for embezzlers. A white line across the middle of the old suspension bridge was supposed to in- dicate the boundary between the two countries, and the bank looters who had taken up their residence on the other side seemed moved by some irre- ible fascination to stroll frequently in that direction. They would come near as possible to the fatal mark, and more than one foolhardy individ- ual has been yanked across by detectives who were lurking on the other side. However, to get to my story, one of the runaway colony at the time I have in mind was a man namad Patterson, who had been president of a big bank somewhere in the Northwest and who had finally decamped with all *the visible assets. The victims of the defalcation were unusually sore, and, instegd of letting the case drop as hopeless when the fugitive reached Cana- dian soil, they quietly raised a purse for expense money, hired a couple of the best detectives they could find and told them to bring Patterson back by hook or crook, if it took them ten years to do it. The detectives put their heads together and a month or so later they suddenly turned up on the Canadian side in the role of two runaway cashiers. Their idea, of course, was to get acquainted with their man, win his confidence and then watch for a chance to kidnap him across. The first part of the programme was not espe- clally difficult, and the three were soon on exceilent terms. The detectives told Patterson a cock and bull story about their supposed embezzlements, to Wwhich he responded with some confidences of uis own, and their intimacy grew with pleasing rapidity. Like most of the other exiles, the trio frequent- ly strolled down to the bridge and peered wistfully toward home over the white line. Of course the detectives didn't dare to rush their man across when there was anybody in sight to inform against them for kidnaping, but one night they proposed a stroll to the river, wnen as luck would have it the bridge was completely deserted. They sauntered up the footway and sat down on a ledge at the side, quite near the line. The sleuths glanced around stealthily, saw that the coast was clear, and closed in suddenly from each side. ‘The jig's up, Patterson!" said one of them, seizing him by his lapels; ‘we're sorry to do it, old man, but we'll have to take you aecross!” ‘In that should have the right to determine for itself whether | case you'll have to take the bridge, too,’ he replied calmly, and pointed to or no it would permit racing with pool-selling and | his left wrist.
