AN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. sH1r-yAuD.

The first question that occurs to an Amer
lean in connection with the English pur-
chase Of the Roach ship-building plant is
the motive that induced the English capt.
talists to buy a ship-yard in the United
States. They have ample facilities for
building ships of all classes and descrip-
tons in the United Kingdom. The British
navy and the British merchant marine are
evidences of the facilities which British
capitalists possess for the construction of
ships in their own country. Why then do
they take their money to foreign country
and invest it in business for which they
have the best of facilities at home? The
only answer that can be given to that ques-
tion is that the ships built in the Roach
ship-yard may be employed in the Ameri-
can coastwise trade. These ships, though
built with English capital, will be entitled
to American register and will possess all
the privileges our navigation laws have re-
served for American vessels. They will be
to all intents and purposes American YES
sells They will be built. if not by Ameri-
can labor by laborers living in America,
and either of American material or of for
eign material that has paid the American
duty. OF the cost Of constructing vessels
about 90 per cent will be distributed in
this country. The foremen and many of
the workmen may be British, but while
they live in this country they cannot help
being consumers of the products of our
farms, our shops and our mills. Still there
are persons in the United States who see
no advantage in having ships built in this
country. They want American shippers
TO have the privilege of buying vessels
where they can be built at the lowest cost
and of giving such foreign-built vessels
American register. Let us suppose, now,
that the free-ship policy, which the Demo-
Gratis as party advocate, had been adopted
while Mr.. Cleveland was President What
Involvement in that case would there have
been for English capitalists to invest their
money in an American ship-yard? Would
not these English capitalists have built YES
sells on the Clyde and have sent them across
the Atlantic to take part in our foreign and
coast trade? The navigation laws which
have kept the American coastwise carrying
trade in the hands of owners of American
vessels is but one point in the protective
policy which is working such grand results
Tor the nation.

CHINESE MERICANS.

The half dozen Chinese who were natur-
allied in Eastern courts pending the de-
cision If the United States Supreme Court
on an appeal from the decision Of the
United States Circuit Court denying the
right of naturalization to a Chinese m ay
cause some confusion abroad as to the natu-
raliZation laws of this country. The Chinese
who were naturalized during that period
retain their papers, aud to persons not
conversant with later enactments and court
decisions these papers seem to confer citi-
zenship. But of course with the decision
of the Supreme Court that Chinese were
ineligible to naturalization the papers be-
came valueless. 1t is true, however, that
two or three Chinese have voted in the
East on the strength of these papers, but
of course they are no longer allowed to
vote even in the East. Probably the next
legal question that will arise in regard to
the Chinese will be the legal status of the
offspr ing of Chinese born on American soil.
Fortunately there are very few who can
show that they are in this sense Chinese

FREE FROM DEBT.

One Of the speakers at the Buckley ban
quet in New York takes much credit for his
chief from the fact that San Francisco is
practically free from debt. Mr.. Buckley
may be presumed to have tasted Wine at
this point in the speech that those who
saw an unusual color come to his face
might not suspect that be was blushing.
The man who made the statement is a Con-
gresham of the stripe that never bushes.
San Francisco is free from debt The fact
is due entirely TO two or three journals aud
the citizens who have acted with them. Of
these journals we need not say that The
CALL is one. OF seven daily papers in this
city five are alive with projects to plunge
the city into debt These projects take on
all conceivable forms and shapes. When
one fails another is put forward, the only
pertinacity being shown in the purpose to
get hold of city bonds on one pretenSe or an
other. One Buckley organ wants 100000
to buy up property between Van Ness ave-
nue. and the park, and to convert the
property so purchased into an avenue; an
other would design an entire new sewer
system, to cost $4,000, 600: another would
81 end 100000 in spreading poultices over
the streets, and so on dd tnfRitum. Mr..
Buckley, it is true, has Endorsed none of
these propositions. The fact that distin-
cuisines Mr.. Buckley from some Of his
lambs is that he is not fool. If he sees
any chestnuts to be pulled out of the fire he
suggests TO some OF his newspaper lambs to
do it. But Mr.. Buckley remained silent
and pensive while young Mr.. Clune teld
the listening banqueters how Mr. Buckley
had saved San Francisco from being over
whelmed with debt. The spectacle must
have been worth trip to New York to

border, a work in which British engineers
are cooperating, as is shown by the tidings
from Vladivostock announcing the compile
ton of the preliminary survey for line
through Mongolia and that the Chinese
Government is desirious of expediting the
completion of railroads to the Russian
frontier.
Bulgaria is again attracting consid cradle
attention. Major Panitza's execution for
conspiring to overthrow the Government is
followed by the rumor that Prince Ferdl-
nand. now'at Carlsbad, will not return to
Sofia. Stambuloff, the Prime Minister, Is
suspected of intriguing with Russia while
ostensibly urging the powers to recognize
Ferdinand as the permanent ruler of the
principality. The Porte is said to have sent
ENJOYS to Berlin, Vienna and London re-
garding the demand for Bulgarian indie
pendence concurrent with Russia's demand
for the immediate payment of 100000
francs due on the war indemnity, and Rus
STA is reported to be preparing to back up
her demand by sending her Black Sea feet
into Turkish waters. Sebastopol and other
strongholds, reyiving recollections Of the
Crimean War, have been strengthened and
garrisoned by the sapper and miner COM

Coincident with these reports regarding
Bulgaria is the declaration that the conflict
between Turkish soldiers and Armenians at
Erzeroum may lead to an open rebellion all
over Armenia, in which event Russia would
undoubtedly take sides with the Christians
and seize Erzeroun, if not the whole of
Armenia, a large force being within easy
marching distance of the seat of trouble
Premier Salisbury is in quandarY, and to
stave of collapse of his Government is
represented as having tried to reorganize
his Cabinet. Lord harrington is said to
have declined the Premiership coupled
with power to appoint three Liberal Union
lists in the Ministry, Salisbury himself tax
ing the foreign portfolio, and from present
indications this would give him about all
lie could attend to. The UniOnists con-
slider that a coalition Cabinet is inevitable.
Harrington, however. intimated that in the
course of time he might reconsider his de-
termination, and if lie does it is possible
that Chamberlain and Sir Henry James
will enter the Cabinet with him.
The Federal Election Bill is likely to en-
gross the attention of the House till Wednes-
day, when the Republican leaders managing
tie matter claim it will be PASSED by small
majority. The President is said to have
declared lie desired the bill to pass and that
he would sign it as soon as he received it.
Interest in the case of Mrs. Maybrick,
now an inmate Of the Working Prison, has
been revived by the claim that evidence
has been discovered corroborating her YER
sion of Mr.. Maybrick's death, and that the
Home Secretary has promised 10 give the
matter careful consideration.

EDITORIAL NOTES.


Marquis Tseng, whose sudden death was
recently announced, kept diary that
affords some entertaining reading. Before
going to England as Minister he had an in
terview with Lii Hung Chang, who made
some plain assertions on international rela-
lions. He maintained that China should
ally herself closely with England in order
to check the Vaccinations of Russia The
English defense of Turkey he put down
without equivocation to a desire to protect
India and to snub Russia. England and
Russia are like "a tiger and wolf" As
to the Russians, their object is at present
to gain possession of the Mahommedan
countries in Central Asia so as
to be within striking distance of
both India and China This is as
displeasng to the English as to the Chi
nese, and it should therefore be the object
of the Chinese to make friends with En-
gland. These declarations reveal China's
policy. She expects trouble on the compile
ton of the Trans-Siberian railway, il it has
not already been inausurated by the atti-
tude Of Corea, and has pushed ahead the
survey for railroad toward the northern

HORRORS In DAHOMEY.
Shocking Things Dr. Bayol saw-Fien

Shocking Things DIR. Bayol Saw-Fiend-
ish Amazons.
A letter from Paris, giving details of the
adventures of DR.. Bayol, the Governor of
Kotonou, who was imprisoned by the King
of Dahomey, appears in the Vossische
Zeitung. DR.. Bayol himself was not i'll
treated, but was forced to witness the most
horrible executions, and was closely
watched night and day by three of the
most important chiefs. He was forced to
be present at the execution of his secretary
and his interpreter, and was a spectator of
the sacrifice at one time of eighty-four
human beings and at another Of forty-two.
The victims were bound, mutilated in a
horrible manner, and then, still alive, hung
up by the heels. Then their bodies were
opened with large round knives and the in
testInes taken out after which the corpses
were thrown into 'place of skulls"
where in forty-eight hours they were re-
duced by birds OF prey to skeletons.
DIR. Bayol was every time compelled to
view each corpse, while the eXecutioners
carefully turned the heads of their victims
toward him. Upon one occasion he desired
to buy off some negroes, whom he recog-
nZed as proteges from Porto NovO, but the
King angrily refused to allow it. Every
day his dusky majesty danced before the
doctor, executing steps and jumps which
would have been highly entertaining under
other circumstances. AT these times the
King wore SanQalS ana SORT oil Greclan
cap on his head, and six Amazons danced
with him.
The Amazons DR.. Bayol describes as very
fiends. One oay the doctor witnessed a
spectacle which he will never forget. At a
sign from the King 500 Amazons rushed
upon living OK and tore it into pieces in a
few seconds; then each, with a piece of
raw flesh in their mouth. marched off sing
ing, while five of their number held the
skin and head of their victim aloft in tri-
umph. In festal garments they witnessed
from the roofs of the neighboring huts the
human sacrifices of the next day and
laughed heartily, They always appear per-
fectly resigned and 60 quietly to death when
their tuin comes. The King is very sus-
picious aud would not sign the letter writ
ten to the President of the French Repub-
lie. DIR. BayoPs return to the coast was
extremely dangerous for he had no pass
port and was therefore obliged. in spite of
illness. to march more than fifty miles in
one day through country with which he
was quite unacquainted. On arriving at
Kot0nou lie heard of the death of the King,
whom, had he been still at Dahomey, lie
would have probably been accused of
poisoning.

FUNNY ACTING HORSES.
The Tricks which n Live Wire Played

The Tricks Which Live Wire Played
Upon Mays in New York.
There was series of performances in
William street, says the New York Sun,
that partook of the nature of a circus. 1t
was in that part of William street that lies
between Beekman and Ann streets. at the
curb in front of 164, a loaded truck had
been backed up to unload. This made it
necessary that horses carrying on street
traffic should pass round the truck and ap
preach the curb on the opposite side of
William street. The pavement is uneven
and the hollOws were puddles of water.
The moment the Gray-hOrse put a h0of
into one Of those puddleS he sprang into
the air with snort. When he alighted, II
he was particularly well-fed horse, he
tried to run away After few exhibitions
William street that an electric wire had
broken under ground and that there was
fun to be had. Hundreds of employees
in the stores poured out on the side
walks andtwatched the passing conveyan-
ceS. The conveyances were mostly trucks,
and the crowd took especial delight when
llteleSs old cart-horse came poking along.
When IL reached the danger spot the crowd
held their breath, and at the sight of the
fell9,y0peninS its sleepy eyes in surprise
and climbing into the air the crowd reared.
One old cart-horse by curious mishap,
executed a tremendous double act. He got
his hind hoofs in one puddle of water aud
his fore hoofs in another, and did the Gus
tOmary act Of going into the air like a cat,
while his legs dangled down, and when be
alighted lie struck IN another puddle with
the same result. The plug got so much
electricity in him that lie ran half block
before he could be stopped
The news passed from one truckman to
another rs they met in the lower part Of the
city, and in an hour afterward every truck
man gave the electric puddles wide berth.

ran away and hid on the Energie, it being
impossible to find them. Ulrich took the

that there is more of him. His faculty of
organization and his ability to handle
certain class of men constitute him a
greater power than his associates are. We
regard it as his misfortune that he was not
born with a higher sense of his duties as
citizen. One of his admirers has said that
he might have been Senator if he had been
less mindful of his associates. Perhaps he
might. From a moral point of view he is as
fit to be Senator as any man who would take
the Office at his hand.
