The terrible destructiven ess of the

small calibre navy rifle when driven
at the enormous velocity obtainable
by the employment of smokeless
powder is set forth in the report of
Lieutenant Lincoln Harmony of the
United States Marine Corps, upon
the results Of the experlmentsrecent
ly.made with the cadavers of horses
Iu simply passing through muscle
the bullet produces Issh wound of
no serious importance, unless it hap
pen to cause hemmorage by cutting
an artery. But if it meet with re-
s:stance such as thai offered by a
bone, the result is horrible. The
wound has the appearance of having
been caused by an explosion; the mus
c!es are reduced to pulp and the
bone ground to powder and ths frag
ments are carried through the wound
of exit, leaving the latter gaping
orifice. A limb thus struck by one
of those missiles would be mangled
beyond repair, and shot in any
part of the head or chest would al
most infallibly prove fatal. If it be
true that the best way to abolish war
is to increase its possibilities of des-
truction, then the new navy rife
should prove a veritable peacemaker.

PRESIDENTIAL AsPIRANTS.

The New York Times prints a list of
twenty-nine gentlemen in that State who
consider themselves in the line of Presi-
dental lightning. OF course the genial
Chauncey NJ. Depew heads the list He is
not only the best known but personally
the most popular man in New York. But
Mr.. Depew only looks in the direction of
the White House in his off moments.
When he has his business head with him
he INDUCES in no such fancies. While in
his own mind he does not admit that the
fact OF his being president OF great rail-
road corporation disqualifies him for the
performance of the duties of the Presi-
dency. he knows that it would stand in
tie way of his election. The names OF a
majority of the twenty-nine are not much
known out Of New York. The gentlemen
at the head of the committee whose in
Vestigations have caused the Tammany
chief to 90 abroad is on the list. His
name is Lexow. He is at present State
Senator. He experienced the mortifca-
non OF seeing his name wrongly spelled
when the proceedings of his committee be-
gan to be quoted, but he doubtless con-
soles himself with the reflection that the
Tammany chiefs are spelling it right now.
But before Mr.. LeXow enters for the Pres
ldency he should let the country know
how he stands on the silver question.

IN BE RING SEA.

Ii European nations were interested in
the Boring Sea question that body of water
would be considered the center of the war
cloud. But as no nations but Great Britain,
Russia and the United States have a live
interest in seal life, the speck of trouble
which is now visible will doubtless be
blown away. The decision of the Boring
Sea Arbitration Board has been accepted
in good faith by Great Britain and the
United States, ana Russia has shown an
inclination of abiding by 1t. Under this
decision the United States and Great
Britain can capture each others seal
poachers without offense to each other.
The British Government will not con-
slider its flag iasulted when an Amer
lean cruiser brings vessel carrying
it to and sends it to the nearest port
10 answer for Its violation of law. But
suppose seal poacher runs up the flag of
any nation which was not party to the
agreement. The German flag would be a
good one to hoist il the object was to make
trouble. Germany was not represented n
the court of arbitration, and may or may
not approve of the law sought to be as
tablished. The Russian flag would seem
equally we'll. except for the fact that Rus
STA is hunting seal poachers on her part of
the sea.
No two or three nations can claim a
right to stablish international law. They
may lay down the general principles upo n
which. in their opinion, International law
should be established, but something like
preponderance of power must be gained
to secure its enforcement. It is not
assumed that Germany would allow her
flag to be used by seal poachers, but If she
should, would an English or American
cruiser proceed against her as they would
if Germany had been party toithe Be,ing
Sea agreement?
Reports now come from the American
squadron in Bering Sea that sealers flying
the German and others flying the Nor
wegian flag are on their way to the seal
grounds. Ii this is true, it is voluntary
search for trouble. The game is not
worth the candle. The right TO fish for
seals, even If established, is not worth
quarreing about. The conclusion is,
therefore. that if any seal poachers appear
flying the German flag they are proceed ng
without the knowledge of the German
Government. They may run up the flag
as kind OF bluff to see what The English
and American cruisers will do about IL.

POLICE CORRUPTION.

When New York dispatch stated the
other day that the robbery of New York
city by the police amounted to $4,000, coo
year readers deemed the statement an
exaggeration. But the details of the evil
dence brought out by the Lexow committee
show that it was rather under than over
the mark. There are 1000 saloons in the
city which are said to pay an average of
SO week each or $500 a year for police
protection. This amounts to S3,640,OOO a
year There are 5000 disorderly houses.
which, besides an initiation fee Of $500
each, pay $500 year for protection. This
foots up "a, 100000. The Lexow committee
has no! yet taken a census of the gambling
houses, or ascertained by evidence how
much they pay for the risk Of breaking the
law. It is supposed that the annual sum is
something like S3,OOO00O; for. though the
number is small In comparison with other
protected vices, the tax is high. Thus
from these three pursuits, which are con-
Quoted In defiance Of law. the police derive
an annual income of 10000, a very
neat sum, which explains how patrolmen
On their meager pay are able to buy houses
and lots on the east side.
The whole thing Is done openly without
pretense of cOncealment. The witnesses
testify how the police called upon them in
business-iike way, and demanded their
blackmail. The evidence goes TO show
that there was regular tariff for all parts
OF the city, and that no one was mulcted
for more than the traffic would bear. What
became of the money and how the plumber
was divided has not yet been ascertained.
This-may come to light as the investiga-
ton progresses. But enough has been
proved to convince New Workers that the
police as 1t stands has ceased to be trust
worthy, and ought to be recognized.
Some go SO far as to demand the repeal OF
the excise law aud the laws against gam
bliDg-houses and disorderIy houses, on the
ground that the present statutes do not
suppress the evils, and are merely source
of corruption and Generalization. The
subject Is of interest here, because it is an
open secret that the same backmail is
levied here, though perhaps not so openly
or to the same extent relatively.

subsidy into their own pockets, where it re-
mains. They admit that the securities which
they gave for the money are worthless, and that
the road would not sell for enough 10 satisfy
even the liens which are prior TO that of the

Government had asked no security at all for its

securities it must 60 unpaid.
The Southern Pacific Company employs
sharp lawyers, whose duty it is to fish up
law where there is none on the statute
books. In this State, as in others. the
note given the payment of which the
mortgage is intended to secure can be
collected even if the security proves in
sufficient. The Southern Pacific recog-
nze their liability when they propose to
pay the debt fifty or one hundred years
hence. If they saw the ghost of a chance
to clear themselves of the debt through a
court decision they would not even prom
ise to pay at some future time. These
promises, whether or not there is an in
tentiOn to keep them, count IN making up
the aggregate of Indebtedness.

TESTING BUTTER.
The Government Chemist
at Work.
He VIII Know Whether or Not
OIeomargarine Is Being Sold in
Violation of Law.

Wholesale and retail dealers in butter.
or what looks like butter and is often. sold
as butter, were visited during the past
week by a very suave and rather active
young gentleman, who asked each of them
for a sample, just speck of their wares.
The dealers without exception furnished
the samples. and the young man, who is
the chemist employed by the Collector OF
Internal Revenue. bore them away to his
laboratory in the Appraisers building.
There the specks were spread out ON
slides and passed under the lens OF a
powerful microscope for the purpose OF
determining whether they we're specks OF
pure butter or butter adulterated with
tallow.
The chemist has examined several hum
dred of these specimens. and announced
yesterday that he had not detected traces
of adulteration in any of them. lie Will
continue his labors until he knows just
what is on every one of his slides. Ii re
finds oleomargarine where he should have
found butter he will go back to the dealer
and procure a much larger specimen, and
If after he has made an analysis of 1t he
assures himself that it is oleomargarlne he
will report the case to his superior officer,
ana the dealer will be prosecuted for sell
ing the bogus butter without a license.
The test by the microscope is very sim
pie. Oleomargarine is made of melted fat
which crystalilzes as it cOos. The crystal
can BIZ readily distinguished under the
microscope by the aid of pOlariZed light.
Butterine is butter mingled with oleo-
margarine. and it will also exhibit crYs-
tails when tested. Pure butter when
melted will not crystalline.
Wholesale dealers in oleomargarine are
obliged to pay $500 year for their license.
Retailers are charged $50. There are five
of the former and about thirty of the lat
ter in this State who are licensed. Los
Angeles leads in the number of dealers in
Oleomargarine. 1t has eleven. San Fran
two, and there is one each at Fresno, Stock
ton, Chino, Pasadena and Redlands.
The chemist believes that little oleomar-
garine is sold as butter at present, because
the genuine product of the dairy is almost
as cheap as the manufactured substitute.
