Unpleasant Experiences.

The two hundred young Cinnamon

American schools and college, h%Tc
had an unpleasant experience since ar
irving IN their own country. The have
been put into positions not at all in keep

strongly advised to forget all they have
learned, The Rev. Arthur H. Smith, u
missionary IN Iientsin, writes to the
hadcpen4CHt: MANY Of them have
been absent from China for ten years
at the most imprcssble time Of life.
They are filed with Western literature,
Western civilization, and the nine

are reported TO have learned to kiss in
America; bat they have returned to 4
country where kissing is unknown-not
laid down in the Book OF Rites. Twas

them. L did not know what TO do.
Having lived for decade in an atmos-
phere Of ozone. these lads are suddenly
plunged into dilute carbonic acid. Is it
to be wondered at that the result ap-

THE HURrADo CASE.

The jury in the Hurtado case does not
appear to have thought that seduction
is an excuse for murder, for they have
brought in verdict of murder in the first
degree, which under the circumstances
carries with it the death penalty. And it
must be said that this is very remarkable
outcome, for it is opposed to a long line Of
verdicts in which juries have acquitted
murderers in utter defiance of the law, and
have thus so demoralized many Judges as
to make them think that the plea of seduc.
ton was somehow admissible under the
law. In the Hurtado case the ruling OF
the Court put this question straight at the
beginning, and though the fact Of the Sc
duction was subsequently, put in evidence
in support of the plea of insanity, it seems
clear that the jury kept in mind the state
NEXT OF the Court, and refused to be led
astray upon that issue. Grove L. johnson,
who prosecuted, has certainly won de-
cided triumph in this case, for it must be
admitted that all the probabilities seemed
against him. and that the jury would have
had ample precedent for acquitting the
prisoner. No doubt the case will be car.
ried to the Supreme Court on the ruling of
Judge benson upon the inadmissibility of
the evidence of the seduction, and that
tribunal will, it is to be hoped, take advan.
tsge OF the opportunity to make strong
and clear ruling upon this important point.
1t is certainly time it was settled, for in.
Vulnerable defeats of justice have occurred
through judicial confusion of mind in re.
gard to the scope of the admissible defense
in murder cases.

THE FATE OF DE LONG.

The discovery of the bodies of Lieuten-
ant De Long and his companions should
not have surprised anyone. From the time
the two men detached from she party We're
found and made their report, it was evil
dent that the leader of the expedition
and those with him would never be seen
again alive This journal expressed that
opinion more than three months ago, and
the facts only too strictly confirmed the
conclusion. OF course it is useless to
speculate upon what might have been, yet
it is difficult not to regret that De Long
should have spent SO much time at Bennett
Island, seeing that if he had started earlier
for the shore he would very probably have
escaped the fate which overlook him.
There is not much to be said concerning
this melancholy termination of a singularly
unfortunate expedition. At the moment
1t seems to constitute strong argument
against any further explorations in the
polar regions; but we do not think it will
eventually operate as a deterrent. Arctic
research has from the beginning been a
series of terrible disasters, but none of
them have ultimately prevented new ex-

BRIEF SAN FRANCISCO ITEMS.

Another case of smallpox has developed
in the County Jail.
The British steamer Altonomer arrived
from Hongkong Saturday night, bringing
S29 Chinese.
Ignatius Eckert, a native of New York,
shot himself Friday night, dying at once.
He was aged 55, and leaves wife.
The city has closed contract with the
San Francisco Gaslight Company to light
the streets at 81 so per 1000 cubic feet of
gas.
The ship Glamis, which arrived Monday
from Hongkong, and has been in quaran-
tine ever since, was released Saturday,
and 949 Chinese on her were landed.
A member of the Board of Supervisors
announces that at its meeting on Monday
night next he will introduce resolution
calling for the erection of corral or
stockade on one of the lots of outside land
belonging to the city, the same to be used
for the imprisonment of Chinese violators
of the sanitary laws. 1t was intended to
fit up the old County Hospital building at
North Beach, but that project failed to
meet with the favor of the Supervisors.

PoRrHR,s PARDON.

The President has issued pardon to
Fitz John Porter, for 80 much of his sen.
tence as is continuous. This pardon re-
lieves him from all the disabilities imposed
by the original sentence of the Court
martial, but it goes no further. The
Presidents legal advisers have informed
him that it was beyond his power to re-
store Porter to his army rank that Con.
gress alone could do that. The President,
however, could pardon him, and thus re.
1ieve him from the continuing disability
under which he suffers, and this has now
been done. Whatever else is to be effected
must be through Congress, and it is plain
that General Porter will have very diff
cult task there, since his most inveterate
enemies are precisely those who refuse to
review his case, and shamelessly declare
their intention of perpetuating what every
fair.minded and intelligent person is now
convinced was cruel wrong inflicted upon
a brave and loyal officer. Porter deserves
to be restored to his old rank, but whether
he will obtain justice from Congress is a
very problematical question.
