The open purpose of Russia s to coerce China into granting to her a monopoly of the commerce of North China and Manchuria. held impenetrable by the world’s The Western Formerly China was commerce. It was a closed country nations proceeded to open China to the world, and in | the process showed but little respect for the sov- ereign rights of that empire. But in the opinion of the outside world the rights of commerce were para- mount, and so one commercial concession followed another until, in effect, the whole empire was opened 1o Western trade. Can it be possible that aiter this has been done, and so much has been sacrificed in its accomplishment, the world will permit Russia to coerce China into assent that she shall again close half of the empire against all trade but her own? It is a matter that does not concern China alone, nor Russia, nor Japan, nor Korea. Ii the interests of mankind required the opening of all China to all the world, those interests are disregarded by closing half of China against all countries but Russia. Be- hind all this is the insult to the concerted powers which kept faith offered by Russia’s violation of her word It does not seem right that the rest of the world should be indifferent while Japan alone stands for good faith. Already it appears that Russia takes advantage of the Mikado’s isolation by offering to join him in the partition of Korea. It will be the odium of Western diplomacy if Russia be permitted to drive such a bargain. She can do it only by Japanese isolation. The United States Government tmay not have a proper reason for interfering, be- yond the moral effect of a protest. But England re- cently boasted among the diplomatic triumphs of the Ministry of Lord Salisbury the treaty offensive and defensive with Japan. It was a convention of sub- stantial alliance against what Russia now proposes. 1f its bond be treated with indifference by Great Britain, it is certain that henceforth there will be but one power in China and that Russia will be the dic- tator of the destiny of Eastern Asia. B Earthly fame is of so variable a quantity that an “akiand man has demonstrated that even the punch- ing of a right kind of a nose will bring it. This par- ticular demonstrator has won a time-honored distinc- tion from the simple fact that when he was a child he landed on the nasal appendage of the King of Eng- land, who was then interesting as the Prince of Wales. We should never underestimate the value of contact with royaity. It seems that the way of true love in Sacramento is too needlessly strewn with irate mammas, swishing horsewhips and pugilistic interferers to make progress either encouraging, enjoyable or desirable. The young fellow who was lashed, pummeled and otherwise made to feel the physical inequalities of life the other day probably thinks that love’s young dream is 2 nightmare. An apostle of the Mormon church, rising to the extravagance of declamatory speech the other day, announced in no uncertain terms that all isms are the work of the devil and are necessarily to be deplored. Under this sweeping arraighment what becomes of Mormonism? ...30 Tribune Building | the presence of these foreign | 1 agreed to dat for their withdrawal. | ountry concerned has kept faith except Rus- | n , instead of The process was enthusiastically received, and it is gratifying to him that he cut his political watermelon for a company so well pleased. He accounted for himself by declaring that the people have come to him, with extended hand, say- jing: “We need you now; come back and lead us in our home.” As he ‘does not say where he went, |to make it necessary for the people to indulge in | manual extension and ask him to “‘come back,” that part of it is lefit in the dark. But on one branch of his campaign he is not vague. He frankly declares that he alone can save San Francisco “from a reign |of corruption that is imminent.” Here he submits )Specifications. He declares that without him the new \charter will “become the greatest curse that has ever fallen upon this city.” In describing the kind of | curse it will be he let it be known that a man can't | drive a nail, nor put up steps, nor change a parti- | tion nor a grease trap in his house, without a permit |from some officer created by the charter. He drew {2 picture of citizens walking in fear of the Police i(',ommisfion. and of a Board of Health plotting to in- | troduce disease into every home of the city, all per- mitted by the charter. Reading his speech one is moved to mutiny and | rage against the charter, which apparently governs It is evident that Mr. Lane regards the | charter as a great mistake. The Board of Freehold- lers, instead of laboring to create it, should have ladopted Mr. Lane as the fundamental law of the |city, and the people should have voted to have him |as their charter. Now the charter, ever since its adoption, has been | administered by its friends. Mayor Phelan secured | his election by insisting that the new fundamental law should go into operation with its friends in power. Well. so it was. Republicans apparently be- lieved this, for Mr. Lane admits that San Francisco {is a Republican city. Mr. Phelan took power. He was supported by the Examiner, but had hardly be- gun to administer the government when the Ex- aminer turned upon him, blacklisted him, and con- }tinuzlly held up his administration as inefficient in | some parts and fearfully corrupt in others. So per- | sistent were these attacks that the Democratic nomi- %nee for Mayor to succeed Phelan ran third in the | race, and the Examiner gave more than covert sup- port to his opponent, Mr. Schmitz, who was an ally | of Democracy and also a friend of the charter. Now |comes Mr. Lane accusing the administration of | Mayor Schmitz of such weakness and corruption that | his gorge rises at the spectacle, and the Examiner | supports Mr. Lane as the solitary friend of the char- ter, and the only man who can keep its abundant | curses and disabilities off the heads of the people | In Phelan’s time he was put forward as the only man who could save the city. When Mr. Schmitz hung up his fiddle and his bow and dove, pompadour | first, into politics, he was selected as the only man who could save the city. Still the old thing isn’t aved, and Mr. Lane says that “now is the time when the city of San Francisco must be saved” by his elec- tion. Surely a great deal of saving seems necessary under the new charter which this last seli-elected sa- vior says offers facilities “for building up the greatest and most corrupt political machine that has ever been | offered to the people of this or any other city.” In | this connection he offers himself as chief engineer of the charter—the only man that can keep it from run- |ning away with the rights and the property of the people. Very naturally Mr. Lane’s oratory rose into the | pink and orange welkin of rhapsody. and while in the | exaltation of approval of himseif he said, “I want a | San Francisco that goes back to that old day when | Christ drove the money changers out of the temple!” Really, men and brethren, this is getting serious. It far outgoes the old-form o the same statement, which stopped at the Augean stables and merely en- |abled a.candidate to compare himself with Hercules, pushing fertilizer with a squeegee out of the stable of the king of Elis. o Hercules for Lane. No | Greek mythology for him. The only standard of | comparison he can find for himself is the Savior of {the world. But Mr. Lane pitches his own tune, and knows whom his own conception of himself most resembles. But he leaves nothing for Schmitz and | Crocker. They find that he has entered the garden of metaphor and picked all the fruit and has grazed bare of its fodder the pasture of comparison. According to his idea of the charter it is a sort of infernal machine, with a time mechanism to fire the fuse, and will explode and destroy the city unless it is passed to him to be kept in a bucket of water until the whizz of its wheels is stopped. He seems to think that it spit sparks when Phelan had it in cus- tody, and that under Schmitz it has torn up some parts of the town. But if it is given into his care he can hold it down. His opinion of Schmitz was given in parable. He said that in St. Louis there was a workingman named Butler, a good blacksmith, who got control of the city and sold Supervisors in | blocks, for spot cash, and is now in the penitentiary. Therefore beware of blacksmiths and workingmen in politics, and of course look out for Schmitz, who, savior of the city and the only man capable of keep- ing the charter from chewing up the town. he-hysterics, or oratorical snorting, of political fee- faw-fumming, of bogy-man tactics, of superheated front corset, and admit that the people have some sense and a good deal of honesty, and that among e ——— ERRORS OF THE HEAD.

He seems to think that the that his crimes were “errors of the head, not of the ment! That fine quality of sympathy led him to steal honest husbands sent to honest wives. even Loring Pickering indorsed him as “sound on scure the judgment of decent people who see in him the most dangerous type of criminal. His excuse for his crimes is equally good in justification of the gang | #f outlaws who have demanded a large sum from the Northern Pacific Railway, in Montana, with the threat that unless the cash is forthcoming they will destroy its trains with dynamite! They have already dynamited two trains, and if caught will make the same plea, that their dastardly and cowardly crimes, by which hundreds of innocent passengers may be murdered, were errors of the head and not of the iheart, and their judgment was led captive by their | sympathy for the victims qf corporate oppression! With such things going on in a neighboring State California can hardly afford to encourage the train- robbing industry by releasing from his insufficient punishment the boss train robber and murderer of the West. A Mineralogist of California has made a statis- tical showing relative to the mineral output of this State during the year 1902. “From the mass of figures a picture may be drawn replete with interest. | The mines, quarries, clays, oil wells, mineral | springs and desert sands are credited with producing | a value of $35.060,105 in 1002. In,all the vast area | of the State, so says the Mineralogist, only three counties failed to produce mineral last year. From the ledges, beds of streams, placers, glittering gravels {and ancient river courses of thirty-five counties gold | was mined. The desert sands of Kern County, the bed of the | Pacific Ocean in Santa Barbara County and the soils of other counties were made to yield more than 14,000,000 barrels of petroleum. From the wastes of Death Valley and kindred forbidding territory borax | and boracic acid were derived to the amount of 17,202 tons, The arid lands of San Diego County yielded tour- \ OUR MINERAL WEALTH. CCORDING to annual custom, the State ! | ! | i | | | { fornia assumed a respectable position when commer- cially considered. Several counties gave to the world the very large quantity of 1,701,142 gallons of min- eral waters, possessed of medicinal properties largely “for the healing of the nations.” " The comparatively new cement industry showed an output valued at nearly $500,000, an augury of greater | things. The red metal, copper, occupied the third | place in the table of totals. The leading copper | county is Shasta. The total copper output of the State for the twelve months under examination was | 27,860,162 pounds, of the total value of $3,239,975. Gold holds the first place when the totals of value of the respective minerals is made up. Petroleum, little known a few years ago except in very few localities, holds the second place, having, for the time at least, | distanced copper. Altogether there are tabulated by the State Min- eralogist forty-three principal mineral substances. The list includes asphalt, bituminous rock, borax and boracic acid, cement, chrome, chrysoprase, clays | for pottery and brick, coal, copper, fullers earth,“ glass sand, gold, granite, gypsum, infusorial earth, lead, lithia mica, lime, limestone, macadam, manga- nese, magnesite, marble, mica, mineral paint, mineral { water, natural gas, paving blocks, petroleum, plati- num, pyrites, quicksilver, rubble, salt, sandstone, ser- pentine, silver, soda, slate, soapstone, tourmaline, turquoise. This is variety sufficient to attract general atten- tion. Here is treasure, useful metals in the trades and arts, builders’ materials from the granite founda- tions, through the brick intervening walls up to the slate roofs. Here is the fuel of the future that solves the manufacturing problem in California; articles for the table and the toilet; mineral waters for toning up tle system: gems to adorn the apparel of the people. The statistics are voluminous and there is not space here in which to analyze them. It may be said, how- ever, that for the first time since the mineral statis- tics of California have been annually compiled three counties show each a value of mineral output ex- ceeding $3,000,000. = These counties, in order, are Shasta, Kern and San Bernardino. Two counties, Calaveras and Nevada, produced mineral values exceeding $2,000,000 each. Five coun- ties—namely, Tuolumne, Los Angeles, Amador, Sis- kiyou and Placer—made records above the $1,000,000 mark. The total value of metallic substances, includ- ing gold, silver, mineral paint, quicksilver, copper, lead, manganese, platinum and chrome, is reported to be $22,052,796. Of this gold amounted to $16,910,- 320. The non-metallic substances are valued at $3,706,368. | | OUR NEWSPAPER ARTISTS. NE of the most delightful successes in the O way of artistic endeavor ever achieved in San Francisco is the exhibit of newspaper artists at the Maple Room of the Palace Hotel. It is an ex- hibit notable for the number of pictures shown, for variety of subjects and of treatment, and for the standard of excellence maintained throughout. To most visitors to the rooms the first feeling is one of surprise, for the exhibition far surpasses ex- pectation. It is doubtful if the artists themselves were sanguine enough to look forward from the start to such a success as has been attained. To the gen- eral art-loving public of the city the surprise will be strong enough to force exclamations of delight many times from the admiring visitor. It is, in short, an exhibit worthy of a city much larger than this, and of artists who enjoy a Continental reputation, It is significant of the earnestness with which many | of our newspaper artists undertake their work that a considerable proportion of the pictures on exhibition revea[ a genuine ambition to attain something more than a temporary success. Several of the works pre- sented are deserving of a place in any exhibit of art. Even those artists who were not so ambitious have in most cases displayed an originality of conception or of treatment that gives their work a distinctive charm and value of its own. Should the exhibit receive anything like the liberal patronage it deserves, the effect is certain to be highly beneficial both to the artists and to the com- munity. The success attained this year will stimulate the workers with a renewed ambition to achieve genuine masterpieces “of illustration. Such a stimu- tus will go far to relieve the grind of routine news- paper art work and result in further triumphs in }he way of pictorial journalism. The exhibit is to’ be open every afternoon and evening during the week, and will well repay a visit from any one who has a true appreciation of artistic accomplishment. e —— ¥ A tornado brought death and devastation to a large area in Kansas the other day, wiping out entire villages and destroying vast acreages of crops.

CALIFORNIA’S MINERAL OUTPUT IS INCREASING The long awalted statistics of the min- ing product of California for the year 1902 were {ssued yesterday by State Mineral- oglst Aubury from the State Mining Bu- reau. It appears therefrom that the value of all minerals taken from the soil in this Btate last year was $35,069,105. This #hows an increase, but not a very large one, above the total output of the year preceding, the advance being but $713,124. The low price of copper and petroleum and labor troubles kept the total of val- ues down. The leading products were valued as follows: Gold, $16,910,320; petroleum, $4,692,180; copper, $3,28,975; borax and boracic acid, $2,284,994; clays for brick and pottery, $1.- 280,378; quicksilver, $1,276524. No other product reached the $1,000,000 mark, but there was a great variety of products. $616,412 in commercial were mined to the value. Tourmalin: | the education of its youth were made at value of §160,000. Mineral waters were The total value of structural materials was $4109,023, an increase of $1,161,78 above the record of the year preceding. Petroleum was produced to the amount of 14,856,910 bamrels, which brought only $4,092,189. The preceding year there were produced 7,710,315 barrels. Tne increase in value has not kept pace with the increase | in amount, owing to the prevalence of low prices, especially In the valley counties. The rank of the leading products was as follows: Gold, petroleum, copper, bo- rax, clays and their products, quicksil- ver, silver. In the preceding year the copper values were more than those of pe- troleum, Quicksilver was fourth and bo- ! rax sixth in 1901 OUTPUT BY COUNTIES. The output of counties ran as follows for the year 1902: Shasta, $3, Bernardino, Nevada, $2.1 Kern, $3.451,9 ; Calaveras, §: 049 apa, Francisco, $305,100; Dorado, Plumas, $381,203; Riverside, $334,622 352, 4 | | San Joaguin, $70,598; | 398; Contra’ Costa, $55,141; Mon- | $23,654; Stanislaus, - ;' Alpine, $14,120; Men- | docino,’ $0898; Dei Norte, $5450; Tehama, | $3500; Merced, $1636; Yolo, $4; | For the first time since the detailed sta- tistics have been prepared three countles | show a product each of more than $3- 000,000. Shasta County, although still in | the lead, shows a decrease from the pre- ceding year of 33,007,522, This is account- ed for in the report by the lower prices for copper and the prevalence of miners’ strikes at the leading producing mines which caused them to shut down during a part of the year. Shasta owes its precedence to copper, Kern to Its petroleum and San Bernardino While gold is still the lead- ing mineral product, its yield no longer | puts the greatest gold producing county in the first place. Nevada County still | leads in gold and silver, closely followed by Calaveras County, but when total min- eral products are consilered Calaveras takes rank above Nevada County, So says the report. The difference is due to cop- per mined in Calaveras County. As usual Shasta County makes the greatest show- ing in silver, owing to so much silver- bearing quartz being used as flux in the | copper smelting operations. | THESE ARE LEADERS. All but twelve counties in the State | produced gold in 1%02. The State Mineral- | ogist’s report picks out the banner coun- | ties for 1902 as follows: 1 Alameda_County leads in coal ($203.350). macadam ($182,205), manganese (§7140). pyrites (§53,301) and salt ($160,000).

PARDEE’S VIEWS ON TOO MUCH STUDYING SRS "B Specfal Dispatch to The Cail. CHICO, Oct. 8.—Governor Pardee to-day made his first official visit to the Chico State Normal School. At the special meet- ing of the trustees a partial report of Dr. Van Liew, president of the school, was read. The Governor questioned Dr. Van Liew regarding the physical exercises re- quired of students, the supervision of the home life of those who provide for them- selves, thelr mode of dress and the care exercised by members of the faculty in seeing that none are allowed to sacrifice health to the “midnight ofl.” The Governor made a short address to the student body in the assembly-room. On being introduced he was greeted by the normal yell, given with the full vigor of strong-volced youth. He spoke on school patriotism, stating that although the liberal endowments by the State for great cost, they were given with open- handed generosity, not one cent being be- grudged. Ile pointed out that it was the duty of the student to remember the im- ance of the priceless gift and to re- it by hearty and efficient service to the State. He emphasized the import- ance of keeplng healthy bodies, and de- clared that there was little virtue in the much talked of “midnight oil.” He ad- vised a healthy interest in the footbali, basket ball and other athletic sports, rec- | ommending an abundance of intelligent exercise to the girls even more than to the boys. In conclusion he lamented the fact that So few young men attend the normal schools, although there is less complaint to be registered agalnst Chico in this re- spect than against her sister schools. He sald he could find no good reason why in the present day so few men should es- pouse the honorable and honored profes- sion of teaching. After the morning exercises the Gov- ernor spent the remainder of the fore- noon in visiting the recitation rooms, the laboratories and the library and inspect ing the plans of the proposed extension to be erected next year. He expressed himself as weil pleased with the man- agement of the scho PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. D. H. Morgan of the navy is at the | Palace. | Dr. W. 8. Taylor of Livermore is at the Palace, F. A.

Counsel Dickin- son concluded with an eloquent perora- tion, dealing with the bonds of amity between the United States and Great Britain. John W. Foster, the agent of the Uni- ted States, thanked the British Govern- ment in the name of the United States Government for its courtesy. Lord Chief Justice Alverstone paid a tribute to Counsel Dickenson and the session broke up. The closing moments were marked by an intensity of interest, hitherto lacking in the proceedings. As Dickinson finished his arguments and comnfenced his refer- ences to International relations and the possible effect of the verdict thereon, the members of the tribunal and the other listeners appeared to grasp the true im- portance of the proceedings, which had almost been lost sight of in the puzzling technical details in which they had been surrounded. Said Dickinson: The tribunal is unique and the treaty will entirely miscarry unless at least one member shall decide against the contention of his own people. The faith thus manifested by the Gov- ernments of Great Britain and America that judgment and justice will be exalted plane where the sympathies that M challenges the attention of mankind tinguishes this tribunal soove ail others. does mot follow that a failure to reach a d ciston will show that such faith was in any degree misplaced, but if a settiement is reached it will be a triumphant epoch in ory, the struggle of humanitarian principles for the substitution of something better than war as the sole court determining international differ- ences. What could give higher inspiration tn those laboring for the peace of the world than the settlement of these issues. so pregnant c possibilities” If the tribunal judgment practically unanimous the strongest assurance yet given to numnntl o of the world. Dickinson also paid a tribute to oppos- ing counsel and Lord Chlef Justice Alver- stone’s falrness. Lord Alverstone said he had heard many leaders of the American bar in arbitration and in other cases, but Dick- inson’s argument equaled anything he had ever heard, and he had not suffered by the fairness and Impartiality with which he presented his arguments. —_———— TWO STREAMS OF LAVA POUR FROM MAUNA LOA Volcano Is lapo;t:d to Be Very Act- ive but No Damage Is Expected to Occur.
