WILL THE EAST RELp9

The Freeman of Philadelphia says: "The
Chinese question can only be settled in one
way, and that is by securing from Canada
and Mexico an agreement that they will
not allow Chinese laborers to land in their
ports" The way our Philadelphia contem-
porary points out is the most direct way,
but treaties TO that effect cannot be made
in a day. Mexico has not yet discovered
the danger of Chinese immigration and
Great Britain is committed to policy
which Will retain her present hold on the
markets of China. 1t is intimated that the
American Government can make an impress
sion on the English diplomatic mind by an
nouncing purpose to abrogate Articles %
and 90 of the treaty of Washington. These
articles secure to the Canadian roads the
right to carry goods in bond from one Amer
lean town TO another, landing them at their
point of destination without payment of
duty. The English have much the best of this
bargain and would make almost any conces-
sion to keep to the law in force. Rather than
be required to pay duties on all goods enter
ing into the United States from Canada, they
might agree that British Columbia should
enact an ir0n-clad exclusion law. The
Freemdn'S way is a good one, but we fear
rather slow. The Pacific Coast is working
alone on this question, and proposes to do
what it can rather than what 1t would like
to do. If Eastern papers would join in and
make this an American rather than Pa
citic Coast question, there would be little
delay in getting such treaties as we need.
II Is, however, pretty certain that the treaty
which permits Canadian railroads to take
merchandise in bond from one American
point to another will soon be abrogated.

A CHASE ON THE BAY.
The S0noma Pursuing Escaping
Prisoners.

There was very novel and exciting race
on the bay yesterday morning, which ended
in the escape of a couple of soldier prisoners
from Alcatraz Island and the discontinue
of their pursuers. The race or chase was
witnessed with interest by large number
of passengers who were crossing the bay on
the early boats from Sausalito and Tiburon.
The Government boat General Mcdowell,
which plies between posts in the harbor,
has been laid off for some time undergoing
an overhauling, and during her retirement
the stern wheel steamer Sonoma has been
chartered to take her place. The Sonoma
leaves her berth at the foot OF Mission
street every morning at 6:30 o'clock ana
proceeds direct to Alcatraz. where she takes
on board guards with prisoners who are TO
wor k on Angel Island, at the Preside and
at Black Point. The steamer arrived at
AlcatraZ at 6:45 yesterday morning, and
was just making her lines fast when the
officer of the day ran down to the landing
prisoners named Miller and Stone had
made their way out OF their cells. stolen
the boat from the warehouse and escaped.
The men, he said, had only left about fif-
teen minutes before, and had no oars or
sail, and could then be seen from the top OF
the island away down the bay. The officer
said he had no boat to chase them, and told
the captain TO take his steamer and go IN
pursuit A guard of men armed with
loaded rifles was placed on board the So
mona, which at once cast off her lines and
started in pursuit of the deserters.
As soon as the steamer got clear of the
island those on board could see the boat
containing the runaways about two miles
down the bay. The tide was running very
str0ng-about seven knots an hour-and
the men were pulling with might and main
to get inshore, each being provided with a
piece of board which they had secured
when they stole the boat, in lieu of the
oars, which were locked up. The Sonoma
cracked on all steam, and the prisoners,
seeing them coming redUubled their efforts.
The wind and tide were in their favor.
Miller and Stone worked like beavers with
their improvised OARS, and when the steamer
got within quarter of mile of them ran
their boat in little cove, jumped ashore
ana scampered off over the hills. to the
great chagrin of the officer of the pursuing
party. The steamer picked up the stolen
port.
at Mission-street Wharf yesterday after
noon, said: 1--WE could easily have picked
them off with our rifles, but We had no
orders to shoot"
Both of the escapes were hard cases, and
had been sentenced to long terms Of m-
prisonment. They had twice before at
tempted to escape and been frustrated.
They are dressed in army prisoners cloth
ing, and are now probably hiding among
the hills in Marin County. A reward will,
as usual, be offered for their capture, and
their liberty will probably be Of short dura-
ton,

Henry c. Dibbe accepting the Office of
President of the Day; also letter from
General John Cutting of the Second Bril-
gade accepting an invitation extended to
himself and staff to march in the parade.
Chairman Solomon reported that he had
received communication from Chief Crow
ley stating that owing 50 the recent labor
disturbances ne could not say how many
police officers would be able to Join the
parade, but that he would furnish as many
as possible.
Mr.. Solomon also renorted that he had
been unable to engage Metropolitan Temple
Tor The evening exercises, and had not yet
engaged the Grand Opera House, but would
probably do so, and report definitely next
Monday evening.

to return the money left after the parade to
the different posts pro rota.
c. Mason Kline was present and ac-
cepted the position of Grand Marshal of

MUZZLING The PRESS,

Congressman Sweeney of Iowa has intro
duced a bill which provides for the exclusion
from the mails of ANY pamphlet. magazine,
newspaper, story paper, or other paper de-
voted to the publication or principally made
up OF criminal news, police reports, or ac-
counts of criminal deeds, or pictures and
stories Of immoral deeds, lust or crime"
We are inclined to think that little Of this
kind OF muzzling the press would be good
thing for the country at large. A contempo-
ray objects to the bill on the ground that
any politician in the Postoffice Department
could stop the circulation of any paper of
the opposing party in any number of which
appeared report Of some crime or some
immoral deed. The provisions of the bill
do not warrant such conclusion. The bill
says: Principally made up of criminal
news, police reports, or accounts of criminal
deeds, etc. The object of the bill is solely
to relieve the mails from the load of filth
they now carry. That such law may oc-
caslonally be abused is no more an objection
to 1t than Is the chance of an innocent man
being accused Of the crime of murder an
objection to the law against murder 1t is
well known that in every large city one or
more papers are printed which make a
feature OF criminal news. Aside from this
Department they have no claim whatever to
public support They illustrate real and
imaginary criminal deeds, and take es-
pecial pleasure in giving a full personal
history of every woman who becomes, by
FAULT OF her own OF others. involved in a
scandal. Journals Of this character are a
source of poison to the youthful mind.
Their extravagant pictures catch the eyes
OF innocent youths, who thus get their first
idea OF the great world Of crime and vice.
There is no danger that decent newspapers
would be denied the use of the mails under
such law, and the Indecent ones should be
debarred from their use.

IN RETREAT.

Boston has given the signal for retreat Of
the army of so-called Progress. The tax
payers of that city have had all the progress
OF certain kind they want. When Mayor
Hart was elected he placed himself at the
head of the progressive army and asked for
removal of the tax limit. At one time
ne thought that needed improvements could
not be made with the money that could then
be squeezed out of the taxpayers, and, COZ
seauently, proposed an increase of the debt
limit. He was driven from that ground
early in the fight, and at last accounts the
lower House Of the Legislature had accepted
the report of the Committee ON Cities. re-
jecting the petition for an increase in the
tax limit. The Herald does not anticipate
adverse action by the Senate. 1t says that
1.-THE matter was thoroughly thrashed out in
the House, and as the outcome of the
thrasLing the clamor for higher taxes was
shown to be mere dust and chat, without a
grain of reason to justify the cutlery"

SUPPLY IN EXCESS cF DEMAND.

When asked the cause of the existing
agricultural depression, Mr.. Edward Atkin-
son replied that he questioned the existence
of any general depression among farmers
or Of any excessive and widespread burden
of mortgages. But the degree of depression
that exists he attributes to an excess of
products. For example, the corn crop of
1884 was nearly 1,s00 900, 600 bushels, and the
average price on farms was 35.7 cents. But
the corn product was increased in 1889 to
2, n3,09o,0 900 bushels, and the price dropped
to 1871 cents. The increase was out of pro-
portion to the increase of population. An
other Illustration is found in wheat. The
product Of wheat in 1884 was 512, OOO, COO
bushels and the farm price 64.5 cents
bushel, Last year the yield was 400, 600, 900,
and the price went up to G9.S cents. The
need of the farmer is a larger variety of
products. Too many are engaged in grow
ing corn and wheat. The demand for these
products which grow steadily as the popu-
latiOn increases does not keep pace with the
supply. Farmers who propose to sell out
their interest in the sugar-beet industry for
the S. year which may be saved by free
sugar should take a second glance at the
possibilities of the sugar beet as new
element in their business.

DEFENsELEss CONDITION.

Tie New York Herald devotes page to
San Francisco, showing our defenseleSs
condition. The Herald tells the country
nothing that was not known before. a
city without ship of the first class, with
out forts or guns, could make no defense
against a single irOnclad steaming back
aud forth four or five miles from the en-
trance TO the Golden Gate and dropping
hot shot into our principal streets. If the
shot and shell should not reach Kearny
street from the four-mile point, the war
vessel might come nearer. There is, in
fact, nothing TO prevent its steaming up the
bay and coming to anchor in the route of
the Oakland ferry steamers. These facts
have been often stated, but there is no
harm in repeating them. In point of fact,
however, there is little danger If Great
Britain should send battle-ship from Van
couVer to loot ''the wonderful city by the
sea-" it would be the most indscreet act of
her recent history. The war vessel might
loot" but every dollar she would carry
away would cost Great Britain ten dollars
before the penalty Of her indiscretion
would be paid in full. In the event of war
Engand's foreign commerce would be the
point of attack. Armed cruisers of the type
OF which We have one in the harbor, and
another building, would make the English
flag costly one to float from the masthead
Of a merchant vessel. If the American
cruisers did not exactly sweep English COM
merce from the sea, they would make the
transportation of goods under the British
flag so full Of risk, and attended with so
many expenses, that neutral nations would
take the carrying trade away from her.
England's industrial existence depends
upon her ability to keep the ocean open to
her ships. The raw material for her facto-
ries comes from abroad. 1t may be said
that preying upon commerce is a cowardly
way OF making war. So is footing" city.
The one would justify the other. A nation
which had made San Francisco pay three
hundred millions in the way of ransom
would have no right to complain if the
ocean should swarm with American
cruisers in pursuit of British merchant
