WHAT TO DO WITH MISTAKES.

The Chinese Foreign Minister did this
country a service in declining to receive
ex-senator Blair Of New Hampshire as
resident American Minister. Mr.. Blair
has since been looking into the Chinese
immigration problem and has easily dis
covered that the advantages are all on the
Chinese side. he estimates the number of
Chinese who would have come in under
the treaties at 20.000.000. The treaties
with the Chinese he regards as mistakes
What then are We to do with our mis-
takes? There is no means by which we
can compel the Chinese Government to
make new treaty denying her people of
rights granted by existing treaties. What
then are We to doP Congress has answered

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

The TRANSPORTATION business seems to
have escaped the industrial depression
that has settled upon the general business
of the country. The present prospects are
that the years business will show large
increase over that of last year. Their
gains for June we're 81, 26O, 600 over the
June of 1892, and for the six months end
ing June 80 the increase was more than
S12,000.000. The Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe road has earned nearly 50, 600, 600
moro than last year. The reports are
FROM 143 companies. representing 100, 600
miles of road. This showing would ndIcate
that the financial strngency is based upon
apprehension of what Congress may do.

this question on four different occasions.
The first answer was given in 1882. the
second in 1884, the third in 1888. and the
fourth in 1892. On each of these occasions
the law-making power of the common
people declared that. treaty or no treaty,
Chinese Iaborers should not be allowed to
come into this country. A group of East
ern humanitarians are claiming that we
must abide by our mistakes for all time.
But a more healthful idea 10 that mistake
may be corrected. 1t is only people who
ara so wise in their own conceit as to
think themselves above mistakes who
claim that il is wrong to correct mistakes.

SHERIFF VERSUS RECEIVER.
The State Investment Company's
Fight Not Over Yet.

The question of the appointment of q
receiver for the State Investment and In
surance Company came up once more be-
fore Judge Hebbard yesterday.
Attorney Eickhoff said that he appeared
for the receiver appointed under the pro-
ceedings taken by Attorney-General Hart,
and Attorney Sullivan retorted that as he
would show that Judge Hsbbard's order
In that instance was void, Elckhoff had no
standing whatever ana had no right to be
there. Harrison talked for some consider
able time to try and convince judge Heb
bard that the insolvency proceedings must
stand, and Ruef, who made such sensa-
tional accusations before Judge Levy the
other day, was to the fore again will an
assertion that both proceedings were void,
especially those in Judge Levy's court.
Council maintained that no petitions in
insolvency were ever filed. Attorney Sam
Rosenhsim said that there was a lot of the
c0mpany's attaching creditors to whom
the company owed nothing, and that their
intention was to defraud the legitimate
creditors out of their rights. He moved
that the Insolvency proceedings be per-
petually stayed, pending proper investi-
CATION of the company.
Judge HebbaTd cut short all these argu-
ments by declaring that II the minute
order of the adjudication was complete. he
would not set it aside. If. on the other
hand. it was incomplete. and the order
not signed. he would of his own motion
set the order aside. he knew that Judge
Levy would sign no order if he had not
done so already, for he had told him so.
Harrison made out that no signing OF
any order was necessary 10 this case. but
that all necessary findings had beep filed.
Whereupon all the other attorneys SAID
they had not been made aware of this.
Finally Judge Hebbard continued the
hearing until to-day. in order that the
at orneys might satisfy themselves as to
whether Attorney Harrlson's statement
was true or not

The capture Of thief In New York for
extradition to Europe was an excellent ex-
ample OF fitting the punishment to the
crime. The defalcator had run away with
large amount of money, and had con-
cealed himself thoroughly. as he imagns ed.
in this country. But his victim caught
sight OF him in the street, and as he had no
papers to secure arrest, it was all impor-
taDt to gain time. So. with the connivance
of an officer. he assaulted the thief. and
pummeled him as heartily as il drubbing
were his main object. That secured an ar
rest, and the extradition will follow. JUS

MORNING CONFEDERATION.
The Soledad Block Fired By Fire
Fiend-A General Alarm.


Shortly before 4 o'clock this
morning general alarm of fire
was sounded from box 124, corner
of st. Mary's and Houston streets,
and the entire fire department was
soon in attendance at a large con-
t1agration located in the immense
SOledad block, on the corner of
Houston and Soledad streets.
Before the department arrived
the building was in a mass Of
flames and it was feared the entire
structure, which is one of the larg-
est in the city, would consumed.
The tiremen, under the command
of Chief Duerler and Assistant
Chief Collins, did remarkably good
work, however. and in the course
of an hour the blazes were under
control.
The gre was first discovered by
an Italian living across the street
from the building. 1t had been
set on fire underneath the
fruit stand of f. Castilliona, on
the west side of the building on
SOledad street. Burning rapidly
the flames soon reached the wood
en- awning above and crept into
the drugstore of II. w. DeCOster q
Co., destroying large portion of
the west side of this apartment,
burning the ceiling considerably,
and destroying two large plate
glass windows valued at $3.50 each.
The fire also burnt in downward
direction, destroying a portion of
the room in the basement occupied
by G. c. Zellweger, who conducts
the salaon known as the Working
mems Cave.
Aside from the actual damage
caused by fire, the water which
necessarily had to be used to eX--
tinguish the fast burning struc-
ture, caused considerable damage,
especially to the drug store, where
every bottle in a large perscrip-
ton case was knocked down and
ruined.
The loss to the building is valued
at $500 with insurance.
Mr.. DeCOscter estimates his loss
by water and fire at 81 900 with in
Surance.
The loss to proprietors of the
workingmen's cave will not eX-
cede $500, caused mostly by
water.
Castilliona's fruit stand is COM
pletely ruined, his loss being about
$500.
The fire as stated above origin
ated at the fruit stand and from
the appearance it is evident that
it was a daring act Of arson, COM
mitted by some fiend who doubt
less intended the whole structive
to go up in flames.

and such other elements as an au-
dience regard with more than ordi-

power to command sympathetic
response from all parts of the the
atre that "The Burglar" is today

elegant spread was served, delight
full music was in attendance, and
good speeches were delivered. The

was the attempt at chartering a

NO EFFECT ON TEXAS.
TICKET BROKERS TO RE-
sumo BUSINESS.
The Western Passenger Association
Not Pleased With Texas Rates
The Southern Pacific Makes Fur
ther Retrenchments-M Fahey
As a Railroader-A Budget Of
Bright Railroad News.

The Texas roads have made a
proposition to the Western Passen-
ger association requesting all roads
to print on all tickets to Texas the
penalty clause of the anti-scalpers'
law. The western roads, however,
deem this too much expense to re-
reprint all the tickets to Texas
with the penalty clause. The
Western Passenger association
will be informed that for all tick
cts they sell over the Texas roads
that have not on them the penalty
clause of the anti-scalpers' law,
local fare will be charged for in
Texas. Therefore, at present, the
anti-scalpers' law does not effect
the ticket brokers of Texas.
The matter standing thusly.
railway ticket brokers will very
likely resume business in this
city again. AS it is there is
one ticket broker in business in
San Antonio since the law went
into effect and he is doing a lucra-
tive business.
A difficulty has arisen in the
Western Passenger association
over the Texas passenger rates and
manner in which they are being
conducted by Texas roads. The
northern roads claim that demon
a!iZing cuts are being made in the
rates in Texas and they say they
will not recognize them in the
north.
The anti-scalpers' law was passed
at the last session of the state leg
1slature, and is only a state law. 1t
is the general belief that when the
first case will be tried in the
courts, the anti-scalpers' law
will be laid aside and meet the
same fate as the railway commits
sion.
