There is no doubt that I France and Russia are in accord.

Tur- key in Europe may be about to pass away, and the territory it has occupied will fall to the strongest. During the last year there have been many eyi- dences o substantial concert among the Cor;tincn- tal powers, so that it is doubtful if even Germany will actively inte e with the plans of the Czar. The passing of Turkey in Europe would be a distinct gain but the greatest sentimental result of by precip: be the earl ent conflict would be the helping of the in- Boers.

The United States has no other stake in the issue, as far as sentiment is con- cerned. On the material tide we have gothing to lose. Such a clash as is impending would defer the proposed European trade concert to oppose what is called ai;road our commercial aggressions, and a war would simply increase the call upon our surplus to supply the nations involved. There may be another appegrance of sentiment, or many such appearances, but the matter goes, deeper than any trivial dispute between France and the Sultan.

E have referred to the bad advice to which Wthe, strikers have been subjected. They could follow it or not, as they chose. We regret for their sake that they have followed it to its final and only logical conclusion, a display of mob violence. The daily attacks of the Examiner on the police, the action of a police magistrate in fining an officer for preserving the peace and setting free those who broke the peace, and the incendiary advice of a law- yer to the strikers to arm and shoot policemen, all led surely to one end—the mob and attacks upon life and property. It marks the end of the strike. There can be no capitulation to violence, no surrender to a mob. Bad advice has borne its fruit, its intended fruit, and has raised the issue whether government and public order shall surrender to violence. There will be no surrender. If those who are charged with the maintenance of law and order skulk and refuse to use their authority to protect life and property, then the city will pay dearly for every blow taken, every life sacrificed and every dollar of prop- erty destroyed. From the beginning of the strike the mob spirit has been insidiously cultivated by the demagogues and evil counselors of the strikers. It has been that sort of advice that educates the man- hood out of men, destroys their respect for fair play and makes them cowards. Hence we have seen gangs of ten beset one helpless boy and beat him into a pulp, and when he escaped he was pursued by the whole party and struck down again, and when he de- fended himself with his pistol the men who had sought his life yelled “Murder!” In no case has one man fairly attacked one man. The strikers have gone in parties largely outnumber- ing their intended victims. This has been unfair, unAmerican and unmanly. The men attacked have been only standing on their lawful right to labor and take wages. If the law cannot or will not protect men in this, then government is dissolved. But it will not dissolve. The business of the United States must go on. The transports that load and un- load at this city will not be sent to Seattle or Ta- coma because the Iaborers who Joad and discharge them cannot be protected here from murderous at- tacks. Already fifty strikers have fallen upon eight of these United States laborers and beaten . them nearly to death. It was not only the act of cowards, but of men who have no regard either for the good name or the prosperity of San Francisco. Let such understand that these laborers will be protected. the city government cannot do it the troops at the | Presidio will. Government is a trust, and under our system it The city is the pri- mary trustee of government here. If it fail the State succeeds it, and, if the State fail, the United States is the ultimate trustee, and so far nobody has whipped the United States. The business men and property-owners of this city, the vast mass of peaceful laborers, appeal for order and safety. They counsel the mistaken rioters and assailants of peaceful men to pause and consider that they endanger their own rights when they attack the rights of others. If they will not listen to any but the advisers who put murder in their hearts, the issue will be met. No city has ever surrendered to a mob, and San Francisco will not set the cowardly ex- ample, though the United States have to use its army to help her resist. —— The threat of Texas to place a heavy tax upon the | oil output will not stop the “gushers,” but it has al- ready mixed a sound of wailing with the gush. THE NEW TELEGRAPHY. Duke and Duchess of Cornwall to the Cana- dian ports on their tour of the empire the British Admiralty has ordered the installation of a wireless telegraph system along that coast. Com- “It t, but other ves- is a wise provision for the royal | sels needing to pass that dangerous cape ought to | be similarly safeguarded. It is little to the credit of either the Dominion or to the imperial authorities | that a region so notorious for its shipwrecks should have to wait for the Ophir's approach to get an | equipment that was required long ago.” | There is no questioning the truth of that statement, but it should be applied pot to the Canadian Gov- ernment only. There are other rich and enlightened countries whose foggy coasts are unmarked by the new telegraphy, and among them is our own. It is probable, however, that in the near future there will be hardly any port of importance in the civilized world unprovided with some system of wireless telegraphy. The adoption of the improve- ment is going on much more rapidly than many per- sons suppose. Thus the New York Tribune, in com- menting upon the establishment of the wireless news service of the Herald from Nantucket lightship to the island and thence to the mainland, says: “The first application of Marconi's invention to systematic work in America a few days ago has hardly received the attention which so important an event deserves. The establishment of a wireless telegraph station at the quaint little village of ’Sconset, on the island of Nan- tucket, ushers in a new era in communication be- tween passengers on incoming steamships and their friends on shore. Tt will also give those on board an ocean liner earlier tidings of occurrences since they leit the shores of Europe. At least twelve hours are now cut off from the period of enforced silence incident to a trans-Atlantic voyage.” One of the most interesting demonstrations of the power of the new telegraphy was obtained, quite un- expectedly during the recent maneuvers of the Brit- ish Channel fleet. A summary of an official report on the sybject to the Navy Department at Washing- ton say: ““Messages were exchanged up to a dis- tance of ninety miles between two ships, when com- | munication was suspended owing to a minor break. The instrument on one vessel was then adjusted to send a message to Portland, and, to the surprise of the signaling staff, that station was heard ‘talking’ to a second ship. The distance at which this informa- tion was taken was 103 miles as the crow flies, a rec- ord so far as the naval service is concerned.” It will be seen that the development of the system is going forward with a rapidity that keeps pace with the most sanguine expectations of those who noted the first experiment of The Call in obtaining by wireless telegraphy the announcement of the ap- proach of the transport bringing home the Califor- nia Volunteers from Manila. Within a time comparatively short we may. expect to see a well perfected system of the new telegraphy established between this city and the Farallones, The governmental authorities are now working out such a system, and have our interests in mind.

ALUMINUM AS FUEL. — NLY a few years ago algminum was rare and O costly. It was a disputed question whether it could ever be produced in quantities of commercial value at anything like an economical rate. In those years of experiment in the production of the metal it was frequently predicted that as soon | as it could be furnished cheaply enough to be avail- able for manufacturing purposes it would work some- thing like a revolution in the civilized world. San- guine enthu s spread abroad glowing accounts of what great benefits might be expected when once this light and beautiful metal was at the service of humanity. We have now had cheap aluminum for some years, and there is no longer any enthusiasm on the sub- ject. However, it is likely there will be a new and greater enthusiasm very soon, for‘the London Chron- icle reports that in a recent address at the Royal Institution Sir W. Roberts-Austen spoke of the com- mercial and practical bearings of “Metals as Fuel,” and says the chief idea of the discourse, and the prin- cipal experiments, centered around the use of alumi- num' for that purpose. The report of the lecture says: *‘The oxygen for the combustion of the metal is supplied by metallic oxides, because these latter readily part with their oxygen to the metal if it be raised to a certain heat. The experiment was remarkahle for its results. A mixture of oxide of iron, ferric ofide and finely di- vided aluminum was ignited by a piece of magnesium wire. The heat produced was intense. According to Sir W. Roberts-Austen, no known pyrometer or heat measuring apparatus can sum it up. He believes the heat thus evolved to be about 3000 degrees centi- grade.” Of course no such irtense heat is needed for ordi- nary purposes, but science can make good use of it in many ways, and when science has led the way art will not be long in following. It was pointed out that such heat will enable us to approach the intense temperature under which our planet was developed, and we may thereby be enabled to some extent at least to reproduce the processes by which many of the metallic and other constituents of the earth’s sur- face were formed. That in turn would imply our power of reproducing them from their original elements. : In commenting upon the subject Dr. Andrew Wil- son argues that the diamond, the ruby and other jew- els may be produced artificially by such a degree of heat as was caused by the combustion of aluminum during the experiments. He says: “To produce the diamond from carbon by imitation of the ways of nature in the past intense heat is essential; therefore the idea of using metals as fuel may supply enterpris- ing science with means of building up the jewel, such as have been hitherto wanting. Sir W. Roberts-Aus- ten, indeed, himself sounds a nofe of hopeful augury here. He tells us that the alumina which results from the reduction of oxide of chromium, when it is al- lowed to cool, ‘forms large ruby-tinted crystalline masses, closely resembling the natural ruby.” © Again, in an interesting peroration the lecturer tells us that ‘the burning of aluminum as fuel gives us sapphires and rubies in the place of ashes, and metallic fuel is burned, not by the air above, but by the oxygen de- rived from the earth beneath, as it occurs in the red and yellow oxides to which our rocks and cliffs owe their color and beauty.” With such prospects ahead, the twentieth century promises to be even more marvelous than the nine- teenth. The man of the past who has had money to burn will be as nothing in comparison with the man | of the future who has aluminum for fuel. SUDDEN IS THE DEATH OF PASTOR BUEHLER - — ard Powell.

BUEHLER, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, passed away on Wednesday even- ing at his home on Eddy street. Death came suddenly.

With his wife and daughter Emma he sat in his study chatting about the approaching wedding of Miss Emma to Rev. Mr. Tietien of Crockett. Suddenly he put his hand“to his head ' ard gasped. His wife and daughter hastened to his side, but too late. The zealous Christian worker, who for forty- one years had served his Maker, had pasesd to his reward. Dr McNeil and Dr. Damkroeger were hastily summoned. They pronounced that death was immediate apd gave the cavse as apoplexy. Dr. Buehler was a native of Baltimore and 64 years of age. He was graduated at the Theological Seminary of St. Louis forty-one years ago and came directly to this city. He was the ploneer worker of the Lutheran church on this coast. On his arrival here he took charge of a lit- tle church on Greenwich street.

The Philadelphia City Hall, work on which was begun in 1870 and which is still unfinished, has just been transferred to Mayor Ashbridge as the city's repre- sentatiye by the apolished Public Build- ing Commission. In a fiscal accounting the commission showed that $24,333,455 43 had been expend- ed in the immense marble pile to date, which includes salaries of architect, $317,- 452; superintendent and assistants, $136,- 048; secretary and clerk, $101,695, and mes- sengers, $19,375. It cost for marble and stone, $7,124,626: for iron, $1,159,000; bricks and brickwork, $1,612,167; carpenter work, $019,943. The metal work of the tower on the top of which stands the immense figure of Wil- llam Penn alone cost $756,537, while the tower clock represents $27,960.

IN ANSWER TO QUERIES BY CALL READERS ~ MANILA—Subscriber, Butte Valley, Cal. The shortest route from San Francisco to Manila, P. L, by steamer is by the great circle route, 6237 miles. Manila is con- nected by submérine cable with China. LADY AND WOMAN—A. S. R., Oak- land, Cal. It is perfectly proper to speak of one of the gentler sex as a woman instead of a lady. Every lady is a woman, but 1t is not every woman who is a lady. HARD AND SOFT WATER—S. J., City. Hard water is impregnated with earths and minerals. Rain water is called soft water because it is not so impregnated. Exposure to the air will soften hard water, so will soda or borax. CIVIL, SERVICE—Subscriber, Butte Valley, Cal.

The ob- structions at Hell Gate, New York har- bor, were removed by Brevet Major Gen- | erai John Newton, U. S. Engineers, Sep- tember 24, 1576. The button that set oif the exploding material was touched by General Newton's baby daughter. The explosion sent up a body of water, spray and vapor to a height of 123 feet. TO WALK CHALKS-Inquirer, City. To “walk chalks” or “walking a chalk line” is an ordeal on ship board as a test for sobriety. Two parallel lines are chalked for some distance on the deck and if a man who is -~ cted of beins under the influence of liquor can walk from one end to the other without over- stepping either he is declared to be a sober man. IRISH COIN—G. A. L., City. The coin asked about is either a penny or half- penny of the time of George IV, who reigned 1820-30, and was coined for Ire- land. All coins minted for Ireland have the harp on the reverse from 1601, in the relgn of Queen Elizabeth. This, like the thistle on Scotch coins since 1632, is placed on the coin to designate the fact that one is Irish coinage and the other Scotch coinage. CIDER—A. D. A., Fruitvale, Cal. It is said that the simplest method of keeping cider sweet Is to allow it to work until i has reached the state most desirable to the taste, then add a tumbler and a half of grated horse radish to each barrel and shake up well. This arrests further fer- mentation. After remaining a few weeks, rack off and bung up closely In clean casks. It is not an easy matter to keep cider sweet and pure for any length of time, especially if the weather is warm. If the cider is not made until just before Winter sets in, and can afterward be kept at or near the freezing point, it will re- main sweet and excellent. DIVORCE AND MARRIAGE—G. W. L., Santa Rosa, Cal. This correspondent asks: “Can a man marry out of this State (when he has a divorce from his first wife) according to the laws of the State where he marries and have his mar- riage recognized as legal by the courts of this State upon his return?’ The answer is yes, if he is married the second time after a lapse of a year after obtaining divorce from his first wife. It has been held that a man who is divorced in this State and before a year has expired goes to another country and marries again. such marriage is not legal in the State of California.
