BUCKLEY IN LONDON.

Christopher a. Buckley amused New
YORK sun reporter and number of Eng iish-
men with what may be termed free version
Of the political drama now being played in
California. Buckley evidently did not have
lis notebook with him. as there are some
little lapses in statements of facts which
Mr.. Buckley certainly would not have made
except inadvertently. For example, Buck
ley said that the Grand jury had been in
session four weeks before he left San Fran
cisco. II Buckley had had his notebook
with him he would have been reminded that
his departure antedated the first session of
the Grand Jury. There are some other
points upon which the memory of the late
boss is defective, but absolute accuracy of
statement is not expected of a man travel
ing from pla'e to place in search of health.
The assertion that Judge Wallace took the
law into his own hands, called Grand Jury
Of his own and had Inc buckley indicted
for bribery" is more serious than a lapse Of
memory. 1t would imply that Judge Wal
lace had declared himself a kind OF Vigil
lance Committee and acted without authority
OF law. In London or in New York this
may seem natural proceeding for a
California Judge, butthe truth of history re-
Supreme Court. which decided the Grand
Jury illegal, did not deny that there was
law for the method Of impeachment Judge
Wallace had adopted. Their contention
was that the code in which this law was
embodied should be read in connection
with provisions in some other code concern
ing the same subject. Perhaps the closest
approach to an argument against the elisor
method was that it opened the way to
abuses. The light and airy way in which
Buckley speaks of the thi ngs he has done
carries with it condemnation OF his meth

character in conspicuous places. The fact
that trader in politics, which Buckley
admits himself to be, shou have power to
trade an aspirant into the high office of
United States Senator is all the evidence
that most men would want that Buckley
himself should be retired. But after all
Buckley places himself before the London
public in pitiful light. He admits him.
self to be kind of political buccaneer, who
took advantage OF lack of public spirit to
play a good game. In other words, finding
the public was not watching him so closely
as it ought, he began to pick up trifies,
and continued until he had placed
himself in a position to auction off
such offices as those of United
States Senator, Chief Justice of the State,
judgeships of the lower courts and member
ship OF minor legislative bodies. Admitting
that he distributed these Offices where they
would do him the most good, he declares
that his indictment for bribery was a legal
outrage No wonder his audience lang he'd.

FIRE COMMISSION.
A Short Session Devoted TO Routine

Short Session Devoted TO Routine
ATairs.
The Fire Commissioners held their
weekly meeting yesterday afternoon with
Ames, Parsons, Brown and Schmidt pres
ent.
The resignation of George t. Silvey of
Truck was received and accepted, and
Jasper SeechS was appointed TO ill the va
cancy thus created.
Chief Scannell recommended Eugene Har-
rngton to fill vacancy in the force of
Engine 10, created by death.
Commissioner Parsons recommended Rob-
ert Stuart and Commissioner Brown nonl-
mated Frank Dougherty
When it was placed to vote none of
the three was elected, and eventually Com
missioner Parsons made a motion that the
three candidates be examined by Chief
Scannell and the selection be left to him.
William Craig, the attorney who has
successfully carried on the litigation result

the commission to request some further
compensation for his work. The matter

time held Mexico to be dangerous field of

time held Mexico to be dangerous field of
operation, now goes willingly wherever
there is an opening. In response, Minister
Romero attributed much of this prosperity
to the improved relations between Mexico
and the United States. The commercial and
social intercourse between the two peoples
is becoming each year more intimate and
the result is better feeling in Mexico.
There is no longer an apprehension that the
United States lies awake nights planning
how to devour its rich and prosperous
southern neghbor In Government and
commercial circles all traces of distrust
against Americans has disappeared. A
steady observance of the principle of good
faith has established confidence. There
was time when the feeling toward Amerl-
cans in Mexico was as bitter as it is now in
Chile. but the Mexican people have become
convinced that they have no better friends
on the continent than the people OF the
United States.

A PECULIAR PATROLMAN.

He Builds n High Board Fence Around
His House to Battle Curious Neighbors.
Patrolman Seibel has succeeded in acting
contrary to one of the rules of the Police
Department. and he will have a seance with
Director Gibbons. The offense is that he
procured warrant without first consulting
a superior officer. Probably no attention
would have been given the matter, but for
the peculiar circumstances of the case.
Siebe! lives at 425 Lincoln avenue. Cleye-
land, says the Leader, and it appears that
he has been having trouble with his
neighbOrs. He is credited with having
built a high board fence in order to
keep the light from the house that adj
joins his domicile.s There is a long block
in the neighbOrhOCd without n cross walk,
and for the accommodation of school chill
dren trail of ashes was made across the
muddy street Before that was done, how
ever. the people conferred with the police
officials and we've informed that they might
make trail if they did not permit il to de-
vel0p into ridge and thus Interfere with
traffic. Seibel was instructed not to modest
them, hut despite the order he quietly went
70 the Police Court and secured q warrant
for the arrest of one of his neighbors. 1t
has not yet been served. The surface ind-
cations are that Seibel acted more from per-
sonal motives than lofty desire to enforce
the law and the Director will talk the mat
ter over with him.
In speaking of the case Colonel Gibbons
related a humorous incident that did not
involve any very serious infraction OF the
rules. at is private police business. but
too good Joke to keep quiet" he said. ION
the day that the order requiring patrOlmen
TO don belts went INTO effect Captain Mad!-
gan noticed that Seibefs overcoat was
about four sizes too large for him. The
Captain called attention to the misfit, and
Seibel answered: oh. it is all right, but |
have not got much under the coat to-day.'
On the following day Captain Madigan
noticed that the overcoat was without
wrinkle. that it fitted like the proverbial
paper on the WALL bespoke of the change,
and Seibel said: L have got more under the
coat to-day Later, Captain Madigan was
informed that Seibel had a large section of
a bed-comfort wrapped around his manly
bosom. He was instructed to have a tailor
take reef in the overccat, that his physique
might stand on its own merit.

Some time ago the Methodist ministers of
Portland and vicinity adopted a resolution
censuring the United States Senate for re.
filsing to ratify the general act of the Congo
conference to abolish the sale of liquor in
the Congo Free State. The PRESS, on the
strength Of letter from the assistant Secre-
tary Of State. Mr.. Wharton, In which it was
stated that the failure Of the Senate to ratify
the act was due to lack Of time, criticised the
use Of the word refusal. In another column
the author Of the resolution. Rev. Mr.. Mum
ger, presents many facts tending to show
that the use of the word refusal was not i'm
proper, contending that the failure of the
Senate was under, the circumstances tanta-
mount to refusal. Who is right, the assis-
tant Secretary of State, or Mr.. Munger we
shall not undertake to decide. That would
require thorough investigation.of the Senate
records and very likely personal statements
from the Senators themselves. A fact that
makes strongly in favor of Mr.. Munger's
side of the case is the shilly-shallying of the
Senate in other matters. If II should appear
that they shilly-shallied In this also nobody
would be much surprised.
