WASHINGTON ID. c., Nov. 14.-The

nredicted would be the case. the Cook
gang. estimated at fifteen strong, held
IN the north-bond train at 10 o'clock
last night at Blackstone switch, hVe

THE courts are utterly powerless TO

Please refer this matter to the honorable
Secretary of the Interior, and, IL need

residing in the territory are at the mercy

The Secretary Of War, upon the advice
Of the Attorney recently held
that he was not authorized 10 send

MAY STOP EXPORTS.

LONDON. Nov 14-Fmancial experts
here generally agree that the new United
states loan OF SIO,OUU.UOO will probably
have the effect to stop the exports OF
gold from the United States 10 Europe
for the next two or three months, but
the best authorities DO not thing that the
issue Of bonds without proper current
legislation can long prevent gold from
leaving the United States. The Stock
Exchange is inclined 10 favor the issue,
as likely TO revive activity in American
securities but regards itself as power
less TO start such n movement without
sustained help from Wall street.

LOOKING up.

The real-estate firm of Shainwald, Buck
bee & Co. sold on auction at Tuesday
real estate to the amount of about $780,
000 The sale included a large number of
lots, for all Of which there were several
bidders. This is SAID to be the most sue
cessful sale that has been held in this
city for some time past. The sales that
we're held early in the year were disap-
pointments. Buyers were few and trans
actions could only be effected by conces-
sions on the part of sellers.
The one thing that has happened to
change the face Of affairs in this city is the
determined effort TO construct connect
ing railroad through the San Joaquin Val
ley. The CALL has often spoken of this
project as the most important that has
recently been underta ken on this coast
1t will bind to San Francisco in a COM
mercial sense stretch of country large
and rich enough to support a much larger
population than the Pacific Coast contains.
1t adds materially to the productive value
Of every acre of that vast valley. While
producers have been compelled to give
half the value of their product to get it to
market they will when this road is COM
pleted only be reaaired to pay what
the service costs. One movement In the
right direction always helps another. As
the railroad project has created demand
for real esta te so should the demand bring
subscribers to the stock of the company.

ACROSS THE PACIFIC.

The Vancouver (B. c. News-A dUertiSer
is moved by the inefficient methods of
London newspapers in handling news
from the seat of war to call the attention
OF the Government to the advantages that
would be derived from a cable from Canada
to Japan across the North Pacific Ocean.
The need of a Pacific cable along some
route is evident. There are, in the Ameri-
can sense, no newspapers in London.
While the English Government is doubt
less well informed as to what is being done
in Japan and China. the London newspa-
pers either are not or they do not think it
worth while to inform their readers. But
In this lower latitude we do not see why
the first Pacific cable should be laid be-
tween a point in British Columbia and
Japan. The cable should run as nearly as
the surveys will warrant along the line of
travel and commerce. The saving in dis
tance in going north does not count for
much lu an enterprise of such magnitude.
We want a cable that will be open the
year round. and its landing on this CONT
nent should be near by city which can
handle the news. The present American
Congress is too badly scared over the
treasury deficiency it has created to even
discuss the proposition to connect the
Pacific Coast with Asia, but we are look
ing forward to better things. The next
Congress may discover that the world is
round and that the only break in the gir-
ole science has put about IL is between the

THE CENTRAL FIGURE,

The Burns morning organ assures it's
readers that the Non-Partisan movement
is Democratic sideshow. The Demo-
cratic bosses have no newspaper organ,
but their oral sp0kesmen refer to the Nom
Partisan movement as Republican side
show. The looker-On. who has no active
political sympathies, perceives it to be a
great central column, drawing support
from all parties. 1t is little hard on the
bosses, who have cracked the party whip
so long and so successfully. to find that in
the present crisis the crack is only laughed
at. Now that the conventions are over,
the nominations distributed and the cam
paign fund approaching state of deple-
tion, the entreaties to ''fall in line" are
disregarded. The Nom tissns are gath
ering them all in.

A CHEERFUL PESSIMIST.

A northern contemporary which has at
times preached the doctrine of free trade
is now dilating upon the beneficial effects
of hard times. There is considerable
method in our northern friends madness.
Having laid firm, solid foundation for a
period Of hard times. it naturally desires
to make lis readers believe that they like
1t. These periods, our philanthropic con-
temporary says. "prick all bubbles,
dlspel all illusions, keep down all shams,
arrest visionary hopes and expectations
and prune ali schemes and notions that
tend to excess" That hard times do
these things cannot be denied. There is
now and then Colonel Sellers" sort of
person who is better for having the
wings OF his Imagination clipped. But
this earth would be very dull place IL all
illusions were dispelled. if life were so
hard that the masses of men could not en-
tertaln hopes and expectations. Begin

NO APATHY THERE.

1t is very unsafe TO assume that the
masses of the people are politically apathetic
this fall. There is every indication of
an immense vote on election day. There
may be a certain lack of noisy cut and
dried enthusiasm in the canvass. For
one thing less money is being spent than
formerly. at least in an open way. Can
didates have not been so heavily assessed.
Two years ago the Republican candidates
for Supervisors spent in the aggregate he
enormous sum of S22,7 in the contest.
We do not know how much other can
dates of the various parties expended. but
their outlay presumably bore some pro =
portion TO that above noted. Large as
was the expenditure of Republican can
didates they were all defeated.
No such amounts have been contributed
this year by the candidates of any party.
The Non-Partisans did not assess their
men, and the candidates of the other
parties would have illustrated the maxim
of the fool and his money soon parted by
paying much on their pros poets of election
by disgusted constituency. The railroad
company has presumably opened a
moderate barrel, but it has been in quiet
way that has not made much show, ex-
cept possibly in the big registration which
is astonishing every body. There has
been an absence of torchlight professions,
fireworks, and the usual whoop 'er up pro-
gramme. Nor are the party oracles and
the henchmen of the bosses bowling with
their accustomed stentorian tones. Rather
on the contrary they are singing small.
The fact is that they have not much to
shout for. The gloom of impending dis
aster hangs over them.
But all this argues no apathy. Because
the people of San Francisco, in their choice
of city officials. fail to enthuse over oues-
tions of national policy; because, in con-
sideriDg Legislative and Congressional
nominees, they are not asking quite SO
p0intedly how those gentlemen stand on
the tariff or the silver questions, it does
not follow that they are apathetlc They
are asking themselves, each other and the
candidates for municipal offices very
critically how they stand on questions of
city government. taxation, expenditure.
administration of justice. etc. They can
not be apathetic with their personal and
pecunlary In terests so largely involved in
the result They are also inquiripg very
closely how Legislative candidates stand
on the question OF electing United States
Senator, not SO much whether he is a
Democrat or Republican. but whether he
will be sound on the question of re funding
the debts of the Pacific railroads. They
are asking Congressional candidates the
same question. They will not take a
tariff argument, important as it NAV be.
for sufficient answer. The people can
not be apathetic over a question which in

A TIME TO MAKE PEACE.

There is touch of humor in the state
ment that the japanese Diet has reached
the conclusion that China should be se-
yerely punished for her presumption in
making war against Japan. One recalls

the controversy between the United States
and Chile, which represented lad of
eight years or so as laying down the law to
Uncle Sam, who was pictured as benign
ant old gentleman about eight feet in

pretty well so far, but If they are offered
the independence of Korea and hand
some indemnity it might be well for them
to let the punishment of China wait upon
later opportunity. These big slow ma
tions are some lines troublesome customers
when they finally make UP their minds
that some fighting must be done. At the
came time the japanese Diet is clearly
right in letting European nations know
