Uskiand Raceirack—Races to-day, THE DESPERATE BOSSES, JBLIC opinion has already declared itself P against the scheme of the bosses to re-elect Gage. The prevailing tone of the press in all sections of the State is antagonistic to the scheme. The leading representotives of the Republican press have been notably emphatic in denouncing not only that scheme but the bosses, who by their efforts to force the renomination of their tool show a deter- mination to rule or ruin the party. The leader of the bosses, Billy Herrin, being a Democrat, cares little whether the Republican party be ruined or not. He would willingly and perhaps gladly sacrifice every other candidate on the Repub- Jican ticket for the sake of electing Gage. Kelly, Burns, Crimmins, Burke and Lynch, though calling themselves Republicans, are doubtless in full sym- pathy with the Democratic boss. They, like Billy, would be willing and prompt to compromise the political prospects not only. of the Republican State and county tickets but of the Congressional tickets as well for the sake -+f keeping in the Governor's of- fice the man who has placed all the spoils of politics in their hands, and who in their interests has even made use of the Statc Normal School at San Jose znd the Home for Feeble-Minded Children to supply places for members of the gang. The activity of Intérnal Revenue Collector Lynch in the work of the bosses shows that in their despera- tion they are going to make Federal politics subser- vient to State politics. They will endeavor to com- pel or coax members of Congress to take part in the campaign for the discredited Gage. Appeals will be made to Congressmen to help the Governor, to come into the camp and to take an active part in carrying out the schemes of the bosses in the Repub- lican State convention. This phase of the political situation presents an issue which cannot be overlooked and should not be shirked. There is at present no formidable opposi- tion to the Republican delegation in Congress. The outlook for the Congressional campaign is bright and promising. If any Congressman, however, shows himself an active ally of the bosses in the scheme to force the renomination of Gage the outlook in his district will be speedily clouded over. Republicans, already disgusted with the use of the Federal brigade under Lynch in the service of Herrin, Kelly, Burns and the rest, would be roused to indignation if the services of Congressmen were degraded to the same disreputable ends. A word to the wise is sufficient. No Republican Congressman can afford to take political orders from the Democratic boss and attor- uey for the Southern Pacific Railroad. Neither can ke afford to join the gang that is striving to bring about the renomination of Billy Herrin’s man Gage. @ The Republican papers of California that are now exposing the schemes of the bosses have no other object than that of saving ‘the party from a domina- tion that threatens it with disaster. Gage cannot be re-elected. He has given offense to nearly all classes of honest Republicans. His administration has been mean, vicious and corrupting. He has been ready at any time to sacrifice the welfare of the State and the honor of the Republican party for the sake of serving the base interests of the most pernicious men now in California politics. People have not for- gotten how fulsomely, unctuously and repeatedly he declared during his campaign for the Governorship that he had no alliance with the Southern Pacific Railroad, nor how immediately upon his taking of- fice he began intriguing in combination with Herrin to procure the election of the notorious Dan Burns to the United States Senate. They have not forgot- ten how even the welfare of helpless feeble-minded children was sacrificed by the discharge of Dr. Os- borne for the sake of making a fat place for a worth- fess politician. Offenses of that kird, and they have been numer- ous on the part of Gage, are not going to be over- looked. The Republican press of the State began by protesting against Gage's shameless efforts to coax or bully honest Republican members of the Legisla- ture into voting for Dan Burns for the Senate, and since that time they have had frequent occasions to make further protests. Now, reviewing his. whole record in office, they warn the party that his renomi- nation will mean defeat. narrow, 5. THE GENERAL FUNSTON'S VIEWS, HE Eastern press comments with much asper- T ity upon General Funston's speech in Chicago. In that oratorical effort the General declared {or hanging the citizens who signed a petition ask- ing that our Government confer with Filipino lead- ers upon measures to end war and strife in the islands, Reviewing the matter in perfect calmness, one is moved to advise the General that he will probably make a better before-dinner than after-dinner speaker. His speech was made after a banquet at'the Marquem: Club. We are not aware of the General's personal habits, but his speech was in the temper that is incited by the use of hot, rebellious liquors. It is held by both civil and military authorities in the Philippines that permanent pacification of the people is desirable, to the end that we may begin their elevation and advancement in the ways of peace. Members of the Philippine Commission have even gone so far as to say that the presence of military camps in the towns iz the cause of friction and trouble. There is a substantial agreement that so far placation of the masses has failed. It was a military boast that Samar was to be besomed and “made a desert where even a bird could not live.” If there be any substitute for such drastic measures it should be found and tried. The proposition of the petitioners that the leaders of the native people be consulted in search of such substitute has in it every element of In every war with our red Indians that pol- icy has been followed by our military officers. Crook did it with the Sioux and Miles with the Apaches. In each case it succeeded, and further bloodshed was averted. To sign such a petition in- volves no turpitude, no opposition to whatever our permanent policy in the Philippines may be, no un- patriotic attitude toward our Government or institu- tions. Time was that Southern slaveholders denied to Northern free men the right of petition. But since the vindication of that right by John Quincy Adams on the floor of the House no voice has been raised against it until this brigadier general in the regular army proposes to hang citizens of the United States for exercising it. Quoting his exact language, as reported, its offen- siveness is apparent, He said: “Two negro soldiers deserted our army and for a time served in the in- surgent army. They were caught and hanged. It would have been more an act of justice had we hanged the people who signed the recent petition to Congress asking that we confer with the Philippine leaders in an effort to secure peace, In the one case two ignorant beings were executed, while in the other people more guilty than they and in full pos- session of their senses were allowed to go free.” Insolence can go no further, Signing a petition for consultation looking to peace is denounced as mare deserving of the gallows than desertion to the enemy! It is language unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and nothing can make the army, the administration and all concerned more unpopular than to permit it to go unrebuked and unresented. Among the signers of that petition were stout sup- porters of the administration. Its signatories were not the opponents of any Government policy. They appeared as-the friends of their country and its au- thorities. They merely suggested, from the body of the people, a public policy. To do this there was no way open to them except by petition. Among the signers were Wayne MacVeagh, Senator Edmunds, the presidents of nearly all the American universities and the leading clergymen of all denominations, and leading professional and public men of every State in the Union. These are the citizens whom young Hotspur desires to hang as worse than deserters who go over and fight for the enemy against their own flag. Under our system of government petition is the recognized way of the people to the Government. Hardly a day passes that petitions are not presented to Congress bearing upon some policy of the Gov- ernment or advising as to its acts. Citizens have the same right to petition for ways and means to secure peace in the Philippines that they have to petition for or against free trade with Cuba, or on any other subject, and it is effrontery of the most offensive kind in this general of the regular army to bawl at them his denunciations and yelp his opinion that they are worse than negroes who desert to the enemy, and cught to be hanged. Such conduct disgraces his uniform and is preju- dicial to the army. It is in derogation of the consti- tutional rights of American citizens, and discloses in him an envenomed ignorance of the principles of liberty which could not be exceeded by a padishah or an Indian rajah of the time of the Moguls. Citi- zens who differ with the petitioners whom he de- sires to hang do not scruple to deprecate and rebuke him, because the establishment of such a principle as he advocates would mean that every revolution in our politics would imply proscription. The execu- reason. tioners of to-day would stand on the gallows to-mor- row. General Funston will do well to repair his inflated condition and sheathe his unruly mouth. JAPAN'S EXPOSITION. N behalf of his Government the secretary of O the Japanese legation at Washington has re- quested that the attention of the American people be called to the fact that a special building for the exhibition of foreign manufactures is to be added to the Japanese national exposition to be held next year at Osaka. It is the desire of the Japanese Government that our manufacturers send - hibits in order that trade between the two countrie. may be |increased to their mutual advantage. While a single building, however large it is likely to be, will afford but scant room for a full exhibit of the manufactures cf the competing nations of the world, it will surely be worth our while to make such exhibit as we can. California at least has a sufficient interest in the Japanese trade to justify a considerable expenditure of money and energy in making a good showing of her products which are fitted for the Jap- anese market. A circular issued by the Japanese Government an- nounces that while the prime object in establishing the foreign exhibit building is to afford the Japanese themselves an opportunity to study the best products of Western invention, the enterprise will also offer to foreign manufacturers an opportunity for “ex- ploiting the rapidly developing markets of the whole Far East,” inasmuch as it is expected that the exhi- bition will be largely attended, not only by Japanese, but by many visitors from other Asiatic countries, It is contemplated to exhibit samples of such foreign ar- ticles as may be of value for purposes of industrial comparison and reference, and no charge for space is to be exacted. The proposed exhibit is the more worthy of attention because it is now fairly certain the St. iLouis exposition will be postponed from 1903 to the SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, 1 following year. All reports from the East agree that it is physically impossible, even in these days of rapid construction, for:the directors of the exposi- tion to get the huge buildings ready in time for the installation of exhibits next spring. Under such cir- cumstances it is clearly advisable to postpone the opening. Where so much money and labor are to be expended it is better to take time enough to perfect things than to carry them through with a rush and 50 waste a golden opportunity. With the big demands for the St. Louis exposition out of the way for a time, there will be nothing to prevent our giving the Japanese enterprise some at- tention. Official reports for 1901 show that during that year the increase in imports to Japan from the United States was larger than the increase of imports from any other nation. We ar€ near to equality to our great rivals in that market. The figures of the imports from the various countries show that imports from the United States have grown from 6,874,531 yen in 1800 to 42,769,725 yen in 1gor; those from Germany, from 6,856,055 yen in 1800 to 28,320,097 yen; those from the United Kingdom, from 26,619, 102 to 50,575,781 yen; those from India, from 8,910,- 891 yen in 1890 to 42,779,000 yen in 1901; those from China, from 8849 685 yen in 1890 to 27,256,979 in 190T1. A trade that shows so flourishing a condition as that, and is making such rapid progress, is worth looking after. It is announced that the exhibition will be open from March 1 to July 31, 1903, and in- tending exhibitors are requested to forward applica- tions to the office of the Chief Commissioner for the Fifth Domestic Industrial Exhibition, in the Depart- ment of Agriculture and Commerce at Tokio, not later than June 30, 1902. Foreign exhibits for the samples building will be exempt from duty, provided they are withdrawn for exportation within two months after the close of the exhibition. Senator Simmons of North Carolina has risen to predict that the Democrats will carry the country in 1904 if they can get rid of Bryan, but for all prac- tical purposes he might as well have predicted that they will elect Bryan if they can earry the country. P — HANNA AND THE PRESIDENOY. NE of the nlrnngm features of the politieal O situation is the persistent discussion of Sen- ator Hanna as o Presidential eandidate in 1004, There is no apparent weakening of Roose- velt's prestige in the country, nor any manifest cause why he should not be nominated, but still the talk of Hanna goes on, The Senator himself has done well nigh everything a man can do to put a stop to the discussion, but without avail, He has even announced that if there be no other way to prevent his friends from booming him for the nomination he would come out for free trade, Not even that has stopped the talk, and despite himself the Senator from Ohio is being forced into the position of a candidate for the Presidency in rivalry to Roosevelt, A short time ago an Ohio politician of note vis- ited New York for the purpose of finding out the drift of public opinion in that ‘city on the Presiden- tial question, and on his return home is reported to ‘have said: “I was surprised at the talk in the East favorable to Mr. Hanna for the Presidency, but my surprise was only occasioned by finding the sentiment so widespread so long before the nomination is to be made. There is no cause for surprise in the fact that the East looks upon Senator Hanna as an available man. His splendid abilities as a business man appeal to the business interests of the country. Business men know that prosperity returned to the country under the business administration of President Mc- Kinley, whose able adviser Senator Hanna was. They know, too, that times of storm and trouble may come again, and it is only natural they should seck a con- tinuance not only of the policies but of the men who have proved in previous storms that they are safe and trustworthy navigators.” It is said that the gentlemanywho made that re- port, Mr. Henry Dougherty, is not a member of the Hanna faction in Ohio, and that consequently his observations in*New York were not prejudiced in favor of the Senator. It would seem, then, that it may be accepted as a fact that the elements in New York that have been opposed to Roosevelt at every 'step in his career are at work now in trying to form a sentiment in favor of the man whom they deem most likely to be &ble to defeat him. Public opinion in Washington City holds strongly to the belief that Hanna is not and will not be a can- didate. It is said there that not only does Roosevelt's popularity preclude any rivalry, but the health of the Senator is too uncertain and weak to permit him to think of undertaking the Presidency. The two men are working in harmony, and there have been no evi- dences of friction. Moreover, Senator Hanna's re- peated assertions to Washington correspondents that ne is not a candidate are accepted by them as sin- cere. The New York drift, therefore, seems to amount to nothing from the point of view of the national capital, and the talk of Hanna for the Presi- dency is treated as but the beginning of the usual idle discussions of the silly season, g Only one observer has noted anything that even so much as seems like a desire on the part .of Hanna to antagonize the President, and he goes no further than to say that Hanna is holding firmly the control of the Republican machine in the Southern States and will be able to throw it as he pleases at the Presiden- tial convention, so that if Roosevelt should lose his popularity before that time, and Hannu should re- gain his health, it might be he would seck the nomi- nation for himself. All of these things are but reports and rumors. The whole discussion is in the air, and that renders it the more interesting, for it gives something of mys- tery to the matter. Since everybody is pleased with Roosevelt and the party firmly approves his policy as a whole, why should there be at this time so much talk of a rival? - Why should that rival be the Sena-~ tor from Ohio? It tnay be there is nothing in the affair but talk, but it begins to look as if something were doing. [ — The Virginia constitutional convention is still working away in earnest efforts to devise some means of rest?':ting negro suffrage without running the risk of losing representation in Congress, but it looks as if the Solons would never settle' the question until the present generation has passed away and the problem has gone with it. oA S And now Kaiser Wilhelm has decided that Marconi shall not have the privilege of operating wireless telegraphy in Germany, and it begins to look as if the young inventor would have to confine his ener- gies to Canada nnd the deep blue sea. Roosevelt is said to engage in a wmtling bout every day with a professional, but he is never truly strenuous until he gets mto a tussle with General Miles. ' b MARCH 28, 1902. YALE MA HYATT VERRILL, a young Yale graduate, living in New Haven. Conn,, has succeeded in photo- graphing in colors. His process 18 a secret which he refuses to make public, although he has recelved many generous offers. He has even de- cided not to have the process patented as yet, because that would necessitate plac- ing the formula for the emulsion and for his lenses in the Patent Office, where the reports would be accessible to investiga- tors. f Verrill believes that he is not yet at the &oal of his discovery. He has conquered the difficulties that stood in the way of every color except the bright red. But he is sanguine and he says that he will have all of them under control in a few months. Verrill is a son of Addison E. Verrll, professor of zoology and curator of the zoological collection at Yale. Pro- tessor Verrill aided and encouraged his son through the five years of his experi- ments, Verrill is specializing scientific photog- raphy. His work consists very largely in illustrating natural life specimens for the Yale professors’ works, and for sclentific publications. In conjunction with his (tathel"! researches he has been led to make some strikingly fine photographs of animal life, bird life, fish and marine subjects, and latterly he has branched out on an independent quest dealing with the evolution of the cicada. -Speaking of his work Verrill safd: “It is unfalr to ask me to tell by what process I do this, for that would be throwing away the researches of five years, a good deal of money and even the credit for the discovery. I am free to say, however, that the process is auto- chromatic and entirely photo-chemical. It depends upon two factors—first, the plates and negatives, which are resensitized so a8 to be fully five times as sensitive to the red colors as the ordinary negative, and secondly, it depends for success upon the paper used. This Is of my own make and upon my own emulsion, which pre- vents the red from going black and the blue goltig white, “The real secret I8 in the composition of the emulslon upon the papers, For that matter I have had the lenses which I use bullt especlally for me upon my own specifications and at a considerable ex= pense, "I'he very firat plotures that 1 ot gave #ome colors, but were hasmy, dull, flat and muddy, Bince then I have experimented to find something to bring out the ecolor sharply and clearly, Three weeks ago I Kot the results I sought, I made a set of three plotures from gayly colored Ber- muda fishes, some birds, a orab and the Walsingham Place in Hermuda, The set WaR made into a birthday gift for my h:lhar, Who has alded me greatly by ad- v 09: "It 18 now slmply a question of time, PREPARATIONS FOR WELCOMING THE SHRINERS At a meeting of Islam Temple of the Ancient Arablc Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, held on ~Wednesday night, the members subscribed the sum of $21,500 toward the fund that is being raised for the purpose of entertaining the Im- perial Counell of the order, that is to meet in Its twenty-eighth annual session in this city next June. It is expected from reports that have been recetved that about 15,000 Eastern Shriners, in addition to those from the Pacific slope, will be in this city during Shriner week. It will re- quire about $20,000 more to keep up the reputation of the Shriners of this city for hospitality. The executive committee, that is arrang- ing for the reception of the thousands of strangers who will visit this city with the delegates to the Imperial Councll, have made arrangements by which there will be reduced rates by rail and steam- ers for those who will come to San Fran- cisco and an opportunity will be given to the visitors to remain for a stated period after the session so they may go to different parts of the State, see its im- mensity and study its productiveness. During the week that the Imperial Coun- cfl will be in session there will be a num- ber of interesting features, but one of the most interesting will be the parade of the Arab patrols and then the drill by the patrol of Islam Temple, which will take place in the Mechanics' Pavilion. The seating capacity of that édifice will be in- creased so as to accommodate at least 20,000 people. Colonel Charles I1. Murphy, potentate of Islam Temple, has received a communi- cation from Philip C. Schaeffer, the im- perial potentate, saying that the Shrin- ers of the East are very much enthused on the subject of the visit to the Golden West and that he will use his best en- deavors to fill San Francisco with nobles of the red fez.

A monster lion from South Africa will be pitted against a_splendid bull from Samalayuca and the two beasts will battle to the death in the presence of thousands of spectators. The fight will take place just across the border on Mex- ican soil in the bull ring at Juares, and the spectacle, the like of which has not been seen since the days of Nero, will undoubtedly attract people from far and near. The lion to be used is a beautiful specimen recently brought to the eity from South Africa by his owner, A. J. Morrison of Los Angeles.
