Since Police Commissioner Hutton made the Police Department subservient | to the Chinese Educational Society and | | detailed detectives to @o ats bidding this | band of reputed highbinders and black- mailers is now demanding money of the fallen women of the district. For sev- | eral days messages have been sent to | various houses that warrants would be | sworn out for sixty-one women just as! easuy as they were secured for the eleven presidents of the See Yup Tongs who refused their demands for tribute. | As yet the women have failed to com- ply with the requests of the blackmail- | ers, but they fear for the influence ex- | erted by the favors Hutton has already | bestowed upon their tormentors. Serious trouble is about to result | from the highhanded manner in which | certain persons have been permitted to gratify their personal hobbies to the ! uttef sacrifice of impartial justice. The | Chinese Six Companies acknowledge | they are powerless to ward off the con- | sequences. As soon as the Presidential excitement is ovér those who have been made victims of the Educational So- | ciety’s greed, finding that the power of the police has been placed entirely at the disposal of their enemies, may take steps toward defending themselves against the new and self-proolaimed power. The two agents, who at the instance of the prosecutors made “confessions” were released on bail yesterday. As was stated yesterday, the charges placed against them were only excuses to lend color to the transaction, and the attorney who is to prosecute them begged of Judge Conlan that their bail be reduced. Failing in this he personally supervised their release. —_———— EANTA ANA, May 12—Charles Henry Bushnell died here to-day aged 78 years. De- veased was a ploneer of California and has been living here more than twentv vears. i | emancipate in the nation’s future and r in me lies to (Applause.) 1 ident te to do whatev that future. more more to bring ek (he citizens of the Golden State for their greet 1 rejoice with you on the wonderful prosperity of California, and that prosperity i but part of the prosperi- eaking broadly, ty of the whole Unic Dprosperity must of necessity come to all of us or to none of Of course, there are sporadic exceptions, individual and local. But, taken as a whole, if good times come to all sections and if hard times come, ¥ bear unequally upon u: yet more or less they bear upon each State, upon each set of individuals. This Golden State has a future of even brighter prom- ise than most of her elder sisters; and yet the future is bright for all of us. Cali- fornia, still in her youth, can look forward 10 such growth as only a few of her sister States may share. Yet there are immense possibilities of growth for all our States from one end of the Union to the other. In this growth, in keeping and increasing our prosperity,’ the most important factor must be the character of our citizenship. Nothing can take the place of the aver- age quality of energy, thrift, business en- terprise and sanity in our community as a whole. Unless the average individual in our nation has 10 a high degree the quali- ties that command success, we cannot ex- pect to deserve it or to keep what it bring: and our future i, in my opinion, well a sured from the very fact that thére is this high _quality of character in the average American citizen. But in addition thereto we must have wise legislation and upright and honest enforcement of the laws. (Ap- plause.) TARIFF SYSTEM. We have attained our present position of economic well being and of ¢conomic lead- ership In the international tusiness world undef a tariff policy in which I think that our people as a whole have acquiesced as essentially wise alike from the standpoint of the manufacturer, the merchant, the farmer and the wageworker. Doubtless &s our needs skift it will be necessary 1o reapply in its detall this Bys- |f:nlau as to meet those shifting needs: but it Would certainly seem f-om the stand- point of our business interests most un- wise to abandon the general policy of the system under which our success has been %0 signal. In financial matiers we are to be congratuiated upon havi definit. de- termined that our they come more or le to ‘all classes, while they m currency system should TEEt upon a gold ba or to follow any other cou would meant disaster 50 Widespr that it would be ditficult to overestimate it. There is, however, unques- tionably need of enacting further financial legislation so as to provide for greater elasticity in our currency system. At pres- €nt there are certain seasons during which the rigidity of our currency system causes @ stringency which is very unfortunate in its effects. The ngress in its wis dom took up and sed of matiers vital moment. such as those dealing with regulation and supervision of the great corporations commonly known as trusts, with securing in effective fashion the abol- ition of rebates by transportation compa- nies, that is. with securing fair play as between the big man and the little man In getting their products to market, and in initiating the national system of irrigation. So, in my judgment, the Congress that is to assemble next fail should take up and dispose of the pressing questions relating to banking and currency. 1 believe that such action will be taken und I am sure that it ought to be taken. It is needed even miore in the interest of the world of producers, of earth tillers, of men who make their living by the products of the farm and ranch. Such action would sup- plement in fitting style the excellent work that has already been done of recent years as regards our monetary system. (Ap- plause.) WISE LEGISLATION. There will be need of wise legls- n, and even gr need of the =dom which recognizes when the wisest policy la B is to have no legislation, and it is of prime importance to us to remember that we cannot afford to condone In pub- lic life any ation from the principles of common sense and the rugged honesty which we deem essential in private and business life. (Applause.) There 1is no royal road to good government. Good gov- ernment comes to the nation, the bulk of Whose people show in their relations to that Government the humdrum, ordinary workaday virtues. (Applause.) And it comes, and can come, upon no other condi- tion. 'We need the best intellectual skill, We need the most thorough training in public life, but such skill and such train- ing can be only supplementary to and in Do sense substitutes for the fundamental virtues that have marked every great and prosperous mation since the dim years when history dawned, the fundamental virtues of decency, honesty, courage, hardihood, the « of fair dealing as between man and man, the spirit that dares, that foresees, that’ endures, that triumphs, and, added to all those qualities, the saving grace of common sense. (Applause.) General Arthur MacArthur, commander of the Department of the Paclfic, re- sponded to the toast, “Our Army.” He spoke In part as follow Mr. President, Mr. Toastmaster, Gentlemen of the Reception Committee, Citizens of San Francisco: From the beginning of civilization man has been engaged in a flerce struggle to mitigate, and as far as possible to entirely himself from his own barbarous environments, in pursuance of which laudable purpose the entire human race has been pro- | Jecting its highest ideals by a series of moral and intellectual waves. And the important crises “in this splendid social evolution, the nolding of events, has been by process of orce applied through organic bodies which we call armies. Whenever the progress of social evolution is impeded the movements of the at- tending social phenomena are by precisely the same processes by which obstructed physical phenomena are controlled; that is to say, by violence, even to the extent of paroxysmal action, When such action is necessary to ac- complish the purpose of the underlying law In physics the active agents are classified as earthquakes, tidal waves, glaclers, cataclysms, or what you will. In the affalrs in soeiety, that is to say, in the affairs of men, the dynamic forces by which progress is made pos- sible,are morals, statesmanship and war. The projection, maintenance and establishment of highly moral and intellectual conceptions have always required the employment fo force. Owing 1o the visible sufferings which are absolutely inseparable from the practical con- duct of war conclusions stimulated almost en- tirely upon sympathetic imagination have been generally accepted to the cffect that war in itself is a menace to society. Considering the subject, however, by due process of historical analysis, and in ‘its relation to intellectual de- velopment, a conception is reached fto the effect that war is not in itself a menace, but i & beneficent, an indispensable instrument placed in the hands of men to be used during the progress, during the primary period of so- cial evolution through which we are now pas ing for the regeneration of the race and the 2 2 the ADVERTISEMENTS.

(Ap- plavse.) i be practical value of this formula may be verified by looking back through the history of the world with special reference to the history | of English-speaking pecple. What is there in Our_lite, Mf. Pregident, from Magna Charta 1o the present time, worth having or worth pre- serving that has not been acquired, protected and perpetuated by army men entorcing the dictates of conscience and the demands of en- lightened policy? 3 American republic to-day. is a mos protfund and impressive exemplification of the lormula as being the rarest combination the world has yet seen of good morals and vital- izing ideas,” which have been vitalized, unified and cemented by human Dbiood. The great intellectual wave which seized our forefathers, which seized and exalted our fore- fathers, and which bore with it new concep- tions of right, justice, freedom and personal liberty, were carried forward to a successful issue By the ethical fervor of the colonial pe- riod, the political sagacity of the then educated minority and the warlike spirit of the people, which, by due admixture, furnished the stabi moral’ guides, the superb statesmanship, active valor which were absolutely essential the creation of the nation. i) Again, Mr. President, every beneflcent fed- ture which characterizes American institutions were at stake In the great Civil War. All the aspirations of humanity throughout the world in behalf of self-government and personal lib- erty were involved in that struggie. Without the success of American armies all these would have perished from the earth. (Applause.) What remote benefits mankind is to enjoy as the direct results of the preservation of the American Union by force of armies can only be determined when the gggdt republic shall have fulfilled its destiny Ats history shall become a classical study fn the curri ulum of the far distant future. That, Mr. President, is an extreme statement on one side of the question, but on the other side 1 will take the liberty of sugsesting that there exists in our modern lite a commendable ten- déncy toward ethical and intellectual culture in pursuance of which human blood as & prime factor in the eguation of civilization Is refa- tively diminished year by year, and in the progressive evolution of soclety it is to be hoped at least that ultimately it will disappear entircly. It is not expedient, however, to as- sume that the time has coma, or to disregard the fact that wealth, literature and refinemen: canrot in themselves defend a state, Pacific habits do not imsure immunity from aggres- sion and national insult. Every nation which wolld preserve its riches, its tranqulility and to its self-respect muet keep alive its martial ar- dor and be at all times ready to maintain war. Hence the necessity in our (Appiguse.) : modern Ilte?ol well regulated military estab- lishments. /A warlike nation is not as a nec- essary confequence therefor a military nallgn. A warlike spirit which in conjunction with good morals and wise siatesmanship can alone create and civilize a state does not mean a large standing army or indeed an ariny of any kind which can be construed in any way cither by sincere apprehension or by disin- genuous arguments into a menace against lib- erty or the peace of the world. But a war- ilke spirit does mean that every citizen of. a country should cultivate an intelligent in- terest in and a generous feeling of their own military Institutions. (Applause) On the contrary, the more warlike the spirit of a people the less necessity there is of regular troops, as in such a society every able-bodied man should be ready to fight at all times and on all occasions whenever the nation demands his services in the field. (Applause.) The general conclusion, therefore, Mr. Presi- dent, which I reach from these premises is to this effect: that well regulated and robust man- hood constitutes the real strength of nations, and that as long as our own beloved country continues to yield in abundant numbers such men as have heretofore constituted our armies and our navies, our Institutions are safe. (Ap- plause.) In a free country like ours, where everything depends upon the voluntary action of the citi- zen, every child brought into existence, of whatever condition, rich or poor, boy or girl, should be Instructed from infancy that the military service of the republic carrfes with it honor and distinction, should be instructed from infaney that American guns have never fired in war without thereby having contributed ma- terfally and substantially to the happiness and welfare of mankind, should be taught from in- fancy that it is to the justness of their cause and not the success of battles that American soldiers and sallors loc to the honors of tri- umph at the hands of thelr fellow countrymen; should be taught from infancy that death itself becomes a precious boon when a man di=: that the nation may live to fulfill its destiny; should be taught from infancy to €0 regulate their lives that they may contribute something day by day to the strength and prosperity of the republic in peace and thereby become worthy and well quaiified to uphold the honor and the glory of the flag in war. (Applause.) William H. Moody, Secretary of the Nav, responded to the toast, 'Our Nav. In part he spoke as follows: Mr. Toastmaster and Gentlemen: In re- sponding to this sentiment, I, as one always is, am tempted, eorely ‘tempted, to dwell upon the glorious achlevements of the navy in the past, which are so full of inspiration for every American citizen. But I put the temptation béhind me. 1f the proprieties of the occasion and the lateness of the hour did not forbid me to speak upon that subject my own inclination would deny me the opportunity. Because, In the few words which I shall permit to myself, 1 desire to say =omething of the navy of the present. might also content mysell with saying to you that the navy of the present is in the best condition that the American navy ever was in time -of peace. (Applause) Lot me hasten to disclaim any thought in my heart that any part of its condition s attributable to myself. There are many concurring causes to this end, and not the least of them is that influence which has descended from the Com- mander-in-Chief (applause) down through the admiral of the navy and every officer and man in it to the apprentice boy who enters at $9 a month. When T gay that the condition of the navy is such as I have described it, I mean its con- dition for use for the design for which It was ultimately intended, as an instrument of war- fare. And when I speak of the navy as an Instrument of warfare, it is not because I or any other man desires war or expeets war, but because we contemplate war as one of the dreadful ‘possibilities in our civilization, And 1 would like to ask ‘vou to consider with me but for a roment the condition of our navy In respect of its material and its personnel. We have long got by the day whea we thought of the navy as hovering about our seaports and our coast and defending them within sight of the land. We know now that the way, the place, in which our coasts and our harbors are to be defended is upon ihe high seas. We had that lesson in 1898 (ap- plause), when your coast was defended thou- sands of miles away in Manila Bay (applause) and our coast was defended off the city of Santlago. (Applause.) And so we are getting together a fleet of ships that can take and keep the seas and fight ouy battles far away from our shores. TRIBUTE TO THE OREGON. You are all proud of the Oregon—a splendid ship (applatise), a masterpiece of your splendid private shipyard. Her name will never die. Bhe will go down in history with the Con- stitution, the Essex and the Hartford. But let me tell you, we are bullding and launching ships to-day, 'in comparison to which the Oregon s not much better than a plaything. We have a fleet under construction or m commission, not only of those splendid, heavily crmed and armored crulsers, one of which will bear the name of your State—we have a fleet of battleships, When they are all launched and in commission., Our navy is increasing in the number of fi ships and in the power of its ships. But ships are not all. We have the officsrs —the officers that, under that wise provision of the law, are selected from all parts of the country, the officers that come from all kinds of our pecple—no caste; that come from every =hire, from every Congressional district, from all ciasses of our people—all fresh, red blood of our democracy, and trained at the great institution at Annapolis. 1 can say nothing in their praise, sir, and in the praise of your service (turning to Admiral Bickford) mors than to say I am willing to enter them, not in competition—God forbid that—but in friend- iy and generous comparison with the officers of the English navy. (Applause.) Those officers are in command of men, the best body, the best f the most intelligent and 1 hope equally com@tent with the enlisted men of any navy that the flag of any na- tion of the earth. They are men who read; they are men who think. There are officers, not a few of them, who regret the old days when the battleships were manned with the off-scourings of our streets. Whether it was better that they should be that character of men or the kind of Intelligent American citi- zens that we are getting now 1 do not know. All T know is that the system of public edu- cation, dear alike to you In California as it is to us in the East, which was the éarly home of public education, leaves us no choice, We have no other kind to put upon our ships. (Ap- plause.) And the men come from every State in the Union, from Maine to California, and they are splendid men, of whom 1 am proud. But with ships, with officers, with men, we have not all. We must have the men trained. We must have them ready for their duty. And the work of the navy to-day is the tralning of the men. No one expressed It better than the President did once when he - sald: *“The only shots that count are those that hit. The ship that cannot send shots that hit is no more for- midable than a Chinese army armed with tom- toms.”” We are trying to have our men effi- cient in marksmanship. And 1 am glad to say o you to-night that I received a report only the other day that the marksmanship of our Atlantic squadron of battleships had increased over the marksmanship of that same squadron less than twelve months ago by 36.5 per cent. |(Applaee.) 2 : “The President and His Alma Mater” ‘was responded to by Fairfax H. Wheelan, ‘who told of Harvard and gave sonle in- teresting reminiscences of the President at coliege. In part he spoke follows: The honorable replying to the toast “The President Z:YS.. et Mates” has been assigned to me use 1 had the great ®ood fortune to svend four golden vears of my -5 life at Harvard in the class bf ‘80—the Presi- dent's class. It was my great good fortume not only to graduate with him as a high and lordly senior—and, as you know, no man is €ver again go high and lordly—but also to enter with Lim in 1876 as a meek and lowly freshman. We entered at Cambridze when America was celebrating at Philadelphia_the one hundredth birthday of freedom, and there. whege the liberty bell a- century before had rung out upon the air the first nmote of a nation free, America blazed refulgent in the glory and the magnificence of the centenniial. Some of our freshman class were accused thinking that their entrance into Harvard Was a fitting climax to that celebration. n the light of later events I am not sure bul | that there were some grounds for that belief. At any rate, four golden years of the spring- time of our lives were spent midst of some of the best fellows that ever Stood in a recitation-room and surorised 3 learned professor with the boldness of their grudition, of the modesty of their knowledge. Twenty-three years since then have come and gone and you can well imagine how proud and happy it makes one feel to meet as chief executive of one's naticn the man one knew and admired as student and classmate, to be here to-night and listen to the inspiring words he has spoken with such eloquence and to come he has received at your hands. I were equal to the occasion. before this representative body of the citizen of my native city, that I could do full and fitting justice to' ‘your hearts and to mine, could do full justice to the toast that has I wish gathered at this banquet and has such a glad significance for the three men of the class derlynn Stow and myself, COLLEGES OF THE PEOPLE. This toast is worthy of the best effort of any man. It is significant not to Harvard men alone, it concerns you, aye, it concerns all Americans. The colleges of our nation have sprung from the people. Unlike the universities of other lands, they exist not as gifts from & crown. They were conceived in no palace, founded in no castle and fostered In no court. Even as the inspired Li said of our Government, so hai®ily may we say of our colleges, they are ‘'of the people, by the people and for the people.”’ California bears proud witness to the fact with her two great universities—two noble monuments of the generous hearts of her people. Every State throughout our lahd bears tribute to tie same fact. It means much to democracy. Search the nation for evidences of the merit of your Government, seek for testimony thut for proof that your country nourishes high purposes and noble aims, the best in art and in science, that it forti- fies, quickens and elevates the be: and to the universities of America must turn at the last, as to the best evidenc and the fullest justification of the right and truth of democracy these universities but knows that the more Completdly he devefops his powers, the more fully he attains nobility of character, the more unselfishly he devotes himseif to the public service, the more efficiently he aids in the progress of the world and the elevation fulfill the dim ana mater.

There is a vast | deal of intellect scattered around loose in | America that can claim no alma mater. We | have a_huge number of college orphans. Oc- casionally this interesting fact is slow in do- | ing justice to itself in the mind of a grad- uate here and there. Sometimes it takes a | college man a year or two to unravel this puz- zle. The ordinary alumnus, however, usually gets full knowledge of the fact tattooed on his inner consciousness with his first job. The | history of a college graduate is something | after this fashion. When he leaves his alma | mater he hurries to the brink.of the river of life. He Is anxious to dash in. But he hesi- tates as he catches sight of the stream. The | water looks a little chilly, the current rather | swift and very much crowded with swimmers. | He hesitates about taking the plunge. But | presently he takes courage in the thought that he has a college degree, a_diploma, a sheepskin, as it is sometimes called. He as- sures himself that this will somehow act as a life-preserver; and then with this twisted sheepskin in his hand he plunges Into the water. Well, about the first thing he finds out | is that there are a whole lot of mighty good swimmers in there that never had a sheep- | skin, " STRONG SWIMMERS. The truth of this fact no one knows better | than the honored guest of the evening. He found it out almost before he touched the water, and he profited by the knowledge glad- 1y He has called to his aid, in the varied and fmportant work it has been his glory to do, fgood swimmers wherever he found them. Many of them were strong, able men from the universities, and many of them were strong, able men who had no degree, who had been | educated in no college, but had sharpened their wits, developed their minds, trained their intellects, in that largest, grandest, noblest university ever founded by the generations of men, that great university that is the blos- soming of six thousand years of ory, that great university that develops its people by trusting its safety and its destiny, to their in- telligence, virtue and patriotism. that great university to the world known as the United States of America, and of Roosevelt is now the honored Rresident. E Talking of Presidents, on Jume 25, 1880, there were 174" possibilities for the Presidency | when our graduating class was marching, two and two, about the college yard. Modesty for- bids my saying there were 175. However, I don’t mind confessing to you that there was a tradition in my own family about the Presi- | dency. Candor compels me to state that it has waned somewhat—it is not as healthy as it was. In fact, in some strange way it seems to have been strongest when I was youngest. However, there were 175 possibilities on the 25th of June twenty-three years ago with a brass band at the head of the procession. It was class day. The breath of spring still lingered lovingly in the air, and the great tall elms that grew within the yard had clothed their graceful branches with new leaves for the occasion. It was early In the morning, and yet we were all arrayed In full drese, white ties and silk hats. If I do say it my- self, we were an imposing spectacle. It may be ihat 9:30 a. m. was a little early for such dazzling effects. Some of you college orphans, and some of you devotees of fashion who listen to me as 1 speak, some of you sticklers for what you call good form may consider a pro- cession, in the sunlight, with dress sults, white ties and silk hats an offence amounting al- most to a crime.
