Gribski returned to rsburg to make a report even as Waldersee Berlin, but while the one found favor with his sovereign the other met such a greeting as led end to his life. The two commanders seem to have had an equal Each served an master capable of richly rewarding him, and each went to the front resolved to do his mas- ng. The duty that awaited them was that ing China to such a condition of weakness at her Government would consent to pay any in- dem: asked by her foes and grant any other terms r]\mc Gribski failed. His management was h that he was made the scapegoat for everything that went wrong with the Russian forces, while Wal- dersee was so successful that he has Iell.at liberty to say that everything he did was done in accord with the “If I succeeded in some measure in China, it must be at- tributed solely to that I had Emperor helm behind me and was able to act in accord- h his instructions.” uprising ha St. P, returned him to put chance to advance their fortunes. autocratic they will of the Kaiser, or, to put # in his own words: the fact n news is very carefully censored and it is not certain what causes led Gribski to commit sui- cide, but it is believed the Czar held him responsible for the cruel slaughtering of a number of peaceable Chinese who were living on the Russian side of the Amur at the time of the Boxer outbreaks. The story goes that when the Chinese attacked the city of Blagovestchensk Gribski asked instructions as to what he.should do with the Chinese in the town, and was ordefed to “fling the Chinese across the river.” The general was absent when the dispatch came, but his subordinate interpreted it literally and the entire Chinese population was driven into the river. It will be remembered that the massacre gave rise to a great deal of comment at the time. Gribski was recalled to St. Petersburg to make an explanation, and now the story comes of his death by his own hand. Ii all stories are true that were told at the time the various “punitive expeditions” sent out by Walder- see were in effect as brutal and as cruel as the slaughter on the banks of the Amur, but the slaugh- tering done during the expeditions was carried out over 2 wide region of country and extended over a considerable period of time, and consequently there was no signal dramatic horror to rouse public at- tention throughout the civilized world and stagger humanity. Therefore, while Gribski dies a suicide, Count Waldersee is received with honor by an Em- peror who cordially indorses al he did, and, indeed, accepts the credit of having done it himself. It is the fortune of war.

Y the primary elections yesterday it is made B evident that Martin Kelly is the boss of the voting strength of the Republican party in this city: That thousands of Republicans who deem them- selves good citizens are opposed to him counts for nothing. Most of such citizens were so indifferent to politics and to public affairs that they did not take the trouble to vote. The supporters of Kelly dide vote, and so it happens that Kelly shows up this morning as “the real thing.” As the head of the victorious ticket in the Twenty- cighth District Kelly will have the public honors of the triumph. His name will be the first called in the convention. He will have a front seat. He will be conspicuous in every step in the proceedings. He is not to be the power behind the throne but the power on the throne, and will be visible to all as the master of the convention. It is but fair to admit that Kelly is the author as well as the beneficiary of the victory. He planned the | whole campaign from start to finish, and personally | conducted it. It was he who had the primary elec- | tion law amended so that he could bring in the State | Central Committee to uphold him in case any attempt was made to deprive him of control of the party ma- chine in this city. The event has shown how wisely he planned at that time, and he deserves credit for | his foresight even when he is condemned for the unscrupulous means by which his policy was carried out. Having thus planned the campaign and fought the battle, Kelly is entitled to the spoils. It will be use- i less for his allies to come in and attempt to take away from him the honors or the profits. It is his victory and not theirs. It will be his convention and not | theirs. It is to him the Republicans of San Fran- cisco must look for a party ticket. For this condition cf affairs no one is to blame ex- cept the good citizens who were too busily engaged in private affairs to attend to their public duties even !\vhen such duty entailed no further energy than that | of going to the polls and casting a ballot.. Those who stayed away from the polls virtually voted for | Kelly. The situation was made clearly known to them for weeks before the election took place. They were | warned over and over again that Kel]y would carry im the polls nearly the whole predatoty vote of the | , for the following of the Democratic bosses was iplaced at his disposal and he made use of it. There was but one way to beat him and that was for all good citizens to vote against him. They did not do it. It now remains to be seen what sort of a ticket he will nominate. He may deem it advisable to place | at least some good men-on the ticket to give it | strength. When the ticket is made up it will then be time to determine how far self-respecting men can { support it. That, however, is a question for the fu- jture. The one thing for Republicans to do this morn- ing is to bow to Kelly and take their medicine. He is the doctor. | A Des Moines couple who divorced themselves lived in the same house for twenty years with nothing more material than a chalk line on the floor to divide them. They never crossed the barrier, and it is safe to say | that neither lost anything by their separation. There are some things not worth encouragement. ROOSEVELT'S GRIT. OOSEVELT may excite antagonism, as posi- t R tive men do, but he is no quitter. His progress through Colorado during the campaign was through an almost contifuous mob. He was at times restrained with difficulty from accepting the challenge and going into a hand to hand fight with hi§ torment- ors. He refused to quit speaking when interrupted and gave back as good as the mob sent. At one place a fellow bawled: “How about em- balmed bcei?” Instantly the plucky colonel an- swered, “I ateit, and teok army fare, while you are too big a coward to serve your country.” He re- fused to hasten his departure from towns when he was threatened with violence, and would not leave a hall by a back door nor take a side street to his train in the interest of his personal safety. The public au- thorities connived at the attacks made upon him, but he stayed his schedule time in Colorado, and the first outing he took after his election was in Colorado to hunt mountain lions. Now he has gone back there as the guest of the State to deliver the address at the celebration of the quarter centennial of Colorado’s admission. He has revisited Victor and other scenes of the riotous demonstrations against him last fall, and his clear grit and good humor have won the people over. It may not be charged that he does this for political effect. It is simply the act of a strong and very self- centered man, to show that he is not capable of fear and has confidence in his countrymen’s sense of fair play. Whether Colorado know it or not, he has ren- dered that State a great service by his return. He has permitted her to purge her reputation and remove the stain placed upon her by the mobs of last year. Had he not returned to the scenes of those excesses Colorado must have rested under the stigma placed by her own disorderly people. The Vice President has rather increased public in- terest in him as a character unique among our pub- lic men. e —————r——— A Connecticut man went to jail the other day rather than pay a license for the obnoxious freedom of his dog. He may have shared but would not admit the opinion of the rest of us that the genus dog is ob- jectionable enough to be suppressed on general prin- ciples. TEMPERANCE FANATICISM. HE California Christian Advocate, in a kindly T and reasonble spirit, joins The Call in deprecat- ing the conduct of the Christian Instructor in gloating over the death of the son of Secretary Hay. The Advocate says that we have taken too seriously the extravagant utterances of some of the radical tem- perance papers on the army canteen question. Upon that question the Advocate says: “There is another point in The Call's contention to which we give our most hearty assent. The deadfalls that surround the army posts, in point of fact, are ten times worse than the army canteen. But we are not in favor-of adding to the temptations of the soldier by adding the can- teen.” It is a pleasure to find an organ of an influential Christian body that uses calmness and reason in the discussion of this question. We agree with the Advo- cate tHat if the deadfalls could be abolished and the enlisted men were isolated from all opportunity to abuse an appetite for liquor, there would be no argu- ment left in favor of the canteen. We fear, however, that such isolation is impracticable. The Advocate argues that it is, using as an illustration the abolition of the grog ration in the navy. The circumstances are quite different. The enlisted man in the navy is off shore. Even in port he is under orders and may be restricted in shore leave. When his grog was taken away it was, indeed, the removal of temptation, for the grog ration itself was not a choice between two evils. The Advocate admits that abolition of the canteen will not reduce, to any considerable extent, the drink- ing in the army as it now is, but hopes that its aboli- tion will in the near future bring a class of men of sober lives into the military ranks. We sincerely join in that hope, but with grave doubts. An Ohic clergyman, after a long and presumably deliberate executive session with himself, has reached the conclusion that heaven is excessively hot as a place of residence. If this be the fact, it seems to fol- tow that there will not be such an advantage for us after all in a choice of abodes. FVenezuela and Colombia it appears that our Government may have to interfere to protect the interests of foreigners, or else give way and permit Europe to do the work. The latter alternative is of course not to be thought of, and consequently our Government will doubtless be forced to prepare to act vigorously at any point in the vicinity of the Isthmus of Panama where disturbances are likely to be injurious to property and to foreign trade. The trouble is the outcome of the seemingly inter- minable conflicts that go on in those countries be- tween the men who are in office and those who are out. Diaz Guerra Sthe representative in New York of the Colombian revolutionists, is reported to have said recently: “The revolution has lasted since 1899, and there have been killed or wounded during that time about 40,000 men. Only as recently as May there was fought-at Palos- Negros a bloody battle that continued for seventeen days. At the end of that pe- riod the revolutionists had to retreat for want of am- munition, and the Government soldiers were too ex- hausted to follow them. At present the regulars (Government troops) number some 20,000, and the Liberals (revolutionists) outnumber them.” From the figures given the contending forces ap- pear to be large, and yet a war that has been drag- ging along for two years can hardly have been prosecuted with much vigor. A recent dispatch an- nounced a battle in which goo men were killed on the Government side, but such battles are rare. As a rule the only information that comes from the dis- turbed country is that of menace to property. The passengers who arrived at New York a few days ago on the steamer Altai reported that there is a des- perate condition of affairs in the interior of the coun- try. As a result of the revolt and the uncertainty of thé future business is at a standstill and gold is said to be at a premium of 3000 per cent. As if it did not have trouble enough with its own people, the Colom- bian Government now charges Venezuela with giv- ing aid to the rebels and threatens war against that country. The Pan-American Congress has been called mainly for the purpose of devising means of settling disputes among the various states of this hemisphere by arbi- tration. Should it succeed in doing so it will fill a long-felt want. At the present time our Government is gathering quite a fleet around the isthmus and may soon have occasion to make use of it. A short time ago a dispatch was received at Washington frong our Consul General at Panama to the effect that the Liberals had stopped a passenger-train at Matachin, and as the United States is bound by treaty to keep traffic by that route open to the world, the Govern- ment will have to interfere should such disturbances of transportation become frequent or dangerous. Altogether our Spanish brothers in the great pan- American family are decidedly troublesome, and if they can devise a means of putting a stop to their wars we will be quite willing to help them enforce it. e ————— SPANISH-AMERICAN WARS.

ECENTLY the New York Sun announced that R there has been established near Port Jefferson, Long Island, a large plant designed to operate a wireless telegraph system devised by Nikola Tesla. For the purposes of the plant 200 acres of ground have been purchased. The main building will be 100 feet square and will be occupied by an electric dynamo with a capacity of 350-horsepower. It is the expec- tation of the managers of the plant that from that point it will be possible to carry on wireless teleg- raphy over a wide region of country extending from Philadelphia to Boston. Another dispatch in the same paper and of the same date announces the completion of a plant for wireless telegraphy at.Siasconset, Mass. The New York Times about the same time reports arrange- ments made’ for an “improved wireless telegraphy” between Boston and Danvers, where an electrical and telegraph school has bought a farm of sufficient area for running electric cars in connection with a course of instruction for motormen. It is stated that a relay system for intercepting a wireless message and send- ing it forward with more force has been invented by the principal of the school, and he expects to prove its efficiency in the operation of the line he has just established. The claims made for the invention sound extravagant, for it is said: “The inventor professes to be able to send a message*fifty miles over land and then pass it through the relay apparatus, which he can manipulate at the starting point. He predicts that such stations can be established at intervals of about fifty miles, repeating and forwarding the message al- most indefinitely.” {3 These items show something more than a popular interest in wireless telegraphy and the eagerness of inventors to improve upon the system of Marconi. They prove that the Marconi system is no longer an experiment merely, but an accomplished invention of use to the world and of such importance that capital is ready to support almost any well devised enterprise directed to its operation. It is well known that in- ventions do not come singly, and there may saon be as many kinds of wireless telegraphy \as there are sewing machines or harvesters, In fact, now that the primary difficulty in the way of sending messages why improvements should not be both rapid and nu- merous. In the course of the development of the art the Marconi system will be superseded, but nothing can take away from the gifted Ttalian the credit which belongs to the first inventor of that method of tele- graphing. He has laid the foundation. Others can | do no more than build upon it. & without wires has been overcome there is no reason ° | 1700 graduates and triends. bicentennia | Henry C. 'HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 14, 1901. DISTINGUISHED ENGLISH DIVINE HE most distinguished figure among the rgmarkable men at the coming - triennial convention of the Episco- pal church, which convenes In San Francisco October 3, will be the Right Rev. Edgar Jacob, Lord Bishop of Newcastle, England, a Peer of Great Brit- ain and a prelate of the highest attain- ments, who comes as the personal repre- sentative of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury and of the whole English episcopate as the bearer pf greetings from the great church from which the Ameri- can Episcopal traces its origin. Dr. Ja- cob is regarded as one of the ablest pre- lates of the British church and is a preacher of acknowledged power. As Bishop of a population largely industrial, his influence is very great. To his efforts the final settlement of a desolating strike among the coal men of his diocese on a basis satisfactory to both parties in con- troversy was due. The Bishop will be heard during the convention at several churches and at the great meeting in the Mechanics’ Pavilion. The Lord Bishop left England on Saturday last and will reach New York, it is expected, on Thurs- day of this week. The Right Rev. Edward Jacob, Lord Bishop of Newcastle-on-Tyne, is the son of the Venerable Philip Jacob, Arch- deacon of Winchester, and was born in 1844, He was educated at Winchester and is a graduate of Oxford, where he ob- talned a first class in classics and an A. B. degree, taking a third class in the final classical school in 1867. In 1570 the degree of M. A, was conferred, and by diploma D. D. in 189. In 18% the honorary degree of D. D. was conferred by Durham Uni- versity. He was ordained deacon in 1868 and priest in 1869. From 1868 to 1869 he was curate of Taynlow, in the dlocese of - Oxford; curate of Witney to 1871,,curate of Bermondsey In 1872 and domestic chap- lain of Bishop Milman of Calcutta from 1872 to 1876; commissary of the Bishop of Calcutta from 1876 to 1888, and until 1896 examining chaplain to the famous Harold Browne, Lord Bishop of Winchester. He was honorary canon of Winchester for twenty years, honorary chaplain to the Queen from 1884 to 1896, chaplain in or- dinary to the Queen from 1890 to 1895, chaplain to Bishop Davidson of Winches- ter in 1895-96, rural dean of Landport and chaplain to her Majesty’s prison in King- ston, Portsmouth, from 1892 to 1896; proctor in convocation for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight from 159 to 1896, honorable secretary to the Board of Missions for the province of Canterbury from 1888 to 1896. He was consecrated Lord Bishop of Newecastle in succession to Dr. Wilber- force, translated to Chichester In York Minster on January 25, 189%. The title of the see is Newecastle and the jurisdiction extends over the city and county of New- castle, the county of Northumberland, the EbGAR JAcCO® LORD BISHO® ON HIS WAY TO SAN FRANCISCO NOTED PRELATE DUE IN NEW < GREETING FROM ENGLAND TO THE TRIENNIAL CONVENTION OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH TO BE HELD HERE IN OCTOBER.
