dured while the treatment is in progress
Is very severe strain on the most san
guine nature. It is a race between the
poison left BY the dogs teeth and flowing
through the blood and the counteractlug
agent which science has provided. Ihe
chances of cure depend not little on tue
proximity of nervous eenters to the wound.
1t proba bly, does OF sour Mr.. Gladstone
in the least and may have an inspiriting
effect upon him to be hooted at by the
very respectable classes in London. he
has for years been much reviled in the
draN ing-rooms of the great and it Is not
his first experience to be caught in social
storm of obloquy. When he denounced
the atrocities in Bulgaria and had aroused
against him the irresponsible and ire
strainable lingo spirit which made Dis
raeli popular he was similarly pelted with
the mud which misguided mob delighted
in flinging at the best of men, but he
weathered that gale of unpOpularity and
will weather this. 1t is Gladstone's sue
cess which foments rage among the Duch-
esses and the narrow cIiques who form
the upperteBdom of society. To be cor.
daily hated by such a set is equivalent to
admiration by the rest of the country. Ills
Eost bitter opponents perceive that the
crOwning effort of his career as statesman
is as good as attained. There seems to be
an indication of this in his own mind. for
he has intimated that he will not seek re-
election in Midlothian. That means re-
tlrement.
The Chinese in San Francisco are said
to be CALLED that they should have been
fooled by Sam Lee, one of the presidents
of the Sam Yup Company. This is one Of
the six mighty organizations which lay
down the law for the Mongolians of Amer
ica. Sam Lee was supremely confident
that the American Government would be
caught in trap by the Supreme Court,
and he c0unseled n0n-registration most
valiantly and defiantly. Now the Chi
nese perceive that his dictum was not
worth rap and that they are in danger of
being bundled off to the Flowery Land
peremptorily. One awkward thing is that
Sam Lee is said TO have had doom pro-
nOunced against him by the highbinders,
and consequently lives in fear of assaSsina-
nation. The highbinders, as the result OF
the recent trials shows, are a power in the
Chinese land. If any deportation is done.
it would be c0mmendable to commence
with these bandits. who escape punish
ment for almost any crime they have q
mind to commit.
1t is estimated at Washington that the
total number of Chinese who are registered
is about 5000. More than half are in Ore
gon and California. This is less than one
in ten of those who come under the pro-
visions of the Geary act. A scramble is
now imminent to escape the consequences
of defiance to the law. The possibility oi
large numbers com bining, and incorpora-
ting for industrial purposes, has been
limited at, but whether the elevation of
of loh ha tat Of
chants can be achieved by flourish OF
the Chinese stylus is a question for lawyers.
France is involved in serious troubles in
the far East, where the climate is pesti-
lential and victims enough are gathered in
from fever to make any increase in the
number from war very disagreeable. The
fighting in the Anam region is laid by the
Siamese to the account of the Laotiaps
who are described as semi-savage and
difficult to restrain. Their guerrilla meth
DDS resemble those of the Dacoits, who
gave for a number of years serious con.
cern to the British. Europeans have gone
to these countries for trade, and they have
to put up with reVerses and hostility at the
outset.
The gold medalist at Berkeley is Mi IS
CIoudace, and the next in rank is also a
young lady. They are the leading students
of the year. Those who believe in CO.
education have reason to claim that this
success is vindication of their faith in
the system. The girls have an equal chance
with the boys and sometimes win. There
are now many careers open to the uni
versity woman graduate. Phillipa Faw-
cett, who was better senior wrangler in
the examination papers than any of the
Cam bridge men, has adopted the profess
sion of an electrician. She may achieve
fame in it too. Edison ranks women
among the best of his assistants. They
have keener intuitions and exceptions
than men.
San Francisco and Fresno and Tulare are
in communication by telephone, and soon
Los Angeles and doubtleos San Diego will
be within speaking distance. Fifteen years
ago nobody would have deemed this possi-
bic. If it were announced tomorrow that
the telephone was open between California
and New York only small proportion of
people would elevate their eyebrows.
Nothing is wonderful.
a phase of sensationalism little heard of
until recently shas received check in the
East. The strong man craze has had a
victim who lies as low and helpless as any
other corpse. This man pitted his strength
against two powerful horses, and when
they took to rearing and plunging he
burst blood vessel and succumbed.
Some of his rivals who poise couple of
horses on platform will depart this life
in the same manner. Mans capabilities
ale great. but he has not as much muscle
or weight as team of PercherOn dray-
horses.
The authorities have set the proper
machinery in motion to prevent an inroad
of japanese contract laborers to work on
railroads in Washington. The chief blame
for this underhanG immigration ought to
fall upon the employers who pay the pass
age and hire the Japs. One such person
has been arrested and will be brought to
trial Railroads can be built without VIC
lating the law TO get cheap labor.
