completed.
CHICAGO, May AFTER spending
nearly 20 years of his life in an effort
to secure redress for the murder of his
brother, Colonel John Ryan, Chicago
lawyer, died yesterday. Colonel Ryan
was brother of General Ryan, who
led the Americans in Cuba at the time
of the Virginius massacre 20 years ago
and was killed. To avoid international
complications, the Spanish govern
ment agreed to pay to General Ryan's
family an indemnity of $4,000. Col.
Ryan made efforts to have the
claim recognized by the United States
government, and recently was engaged
it preparing legal papers relating to
the collection of the money which
were to be forwarded to the state de-
partment at Washington.

nitely settle this vexed question.
There is full bench, and the verdict
will be anxiously awaited by the peo-
pie. The law was passed by the Democ-
racy to supply the deficiency in the
revenue, made necessary by the free
trade experiment, and if it is declared
unconstitutional it will be another
backset for the Democratic party and
a victory for protection. If, without
duties on imports, the revenues of
the government cannot be made
sufficient to meet the expenses, it
furnishes almost conclusive argu-
ment for the policy pursued by Repub-
lican administrations. With the de-
preston in trade caused by tariff
tinkering, the general distress of the
country from the same cause, and a
bankrupt treasury traced to the same
cause, protection and prosperity will
be the rallying cry for 1895.
1t is reported that President Cleve-
land has spent the last four years in
writing a book on political economy,
and the copy will soon be given to the
printer. The executive, it is claimed,
has some advanced theories on the
subject, and will take the lead of such
men as Adam Smith and John Stuart
Mill. Mr.. Cleveland is concise rea-
soner, and his book no doubt will
be very readable. His views on
the tariff and on matters of
finance are endorsed by many,
and the people will anxiously
await the forthcoming work. Whether
it is for the sake of permanent fame,
or simply to give publicity to his
opinions on these Important subjects
that induced him to enter the list of
authors is not known; but work on
economics by man occupying such a
prominent position as president OF the
limited States is certain to attract at
tention and, perhaps, criticism. 1t
may not become popular textbook;
but it will serve to keep Mr.: Cleve-
lands views before the public long
after he has finished his public career.

and around San Francisco but sometimes
things do not all fall in his way, as for in
stance, he met reverse quite recently
which brought with it mental troubles that
affected his heart. He allowed himself to
owe friend $43, but some difficulty arose
over the payment with the result that
Sachse was attached Friday afternoon for
the amount of the bill.
He had something like $500 in the
Hibernia Savings Bank on deposit, and
that sum he said was good security for any
small debts he might incur. In the course
OF events Max was called on by another
friend for payment of still another little
bill. Not having money in hand at the
moment he gave up his passbook as secur-
ity for the debt.
The man with the bank book dropped a
word or two to his companion about
Sachse, and thereupon the trouble began.
'.Max owes me $43," said No. l.
"Why didn't you secure it?" remarked
No. 2. 'Do as did-get his handbook as
security"
No. did not wish to hear more, and he
fastened off to have the bank deposit gar
nisheed An hour later Sachse was en-
joying quiet game OF poker in Denhardy 8
club on Kearny street, near Post, when the
news reached him.
MAX, your money in the bank is tied
up" said the club manager as Deputy
Sheriff appeared with a legal paper.
Max looked up in blank amazement and
fell backward in faint. Those around
him failed to bring him to consciousness,
and he had to be moved in a carriage to
the Lick House where he slowly recovered.

answered the boy as he laid his finger to
the edge. Now, what the sober-faced and
earnest student meant to say was that the
ak was not sharp, but dull, foolish.
These dozen or two students who have
come and gone during the last few years,
serving me and receiving such instructions
as had time or disposition to give, were
all men of fortune and good family, SO far
as | found out. No money ever passed
between us, and they came and went, usu-
ally in couples, at will. OF course the adj
vantage has been on my side from the first.
For besides teaching Inc quite as much as
I teach them they do all sorts of work,
even to the most mental sort, so far as per-
mitted to.
The two first who came were men from
Japan, brothers, one but a boy of Is and
quite ILL., Worst of all, he was so home
sick that half the time he was in tears.
His brother did all the work, and, even as
his own heart bled, laughed and played
and did all things possible to keep the
dying boy from despair. | never before
saw a brothers. love. They kept at their
books till the night was far spent, and then
the elder and stronger was up with the
sun. They wrote much and both were

It may be mentioned here that all

about filial duty and regard. One was to
the effect that poor son, too poor to pro-
vide a musquito bar for his venerable
parents, used to wait till they were asleep
and then stripping himself to the skin,
creep III and lie on the floor before them
till nearly morning. Another was about
q poor woodcutter, who used to cut wood
and bear it on his back to a wine mer-
chant each day and SO get flask OF wine
for his old father, who was very feeble.
But one day he broke bis AK, and in de-
spair threw himself into stream. But the
water turned 10 wine, and clambering out
he filled his flask and Fastening home was
moved to tears with Joy to hear his father
say that never before had he tasted such
sweet wine. Still another story related
how that one cold winter starving old
mother begged her son to go forth to the
frozen river and get her a fish. He went
at once but found only thick and impene-
trable ice. In vain he passed up and
down but found no opening. At last he
threw himself down on the ice in utter de-
spair, when suddenly the ice opened and
two beautiful fishes leaped out at his side;
and this they say was the beginning of air.
holes in the ice.
But to get the full effect of these and
dozens of like simple and pure stories,
teaching the highest duty of man, you
should have them told by the japanese
students in their droll and complex syn-
tax. They dig their words right out of the
dictionary, and they generally get the right
word, but sometimes the application is
quaint indeed For example the other
day my foreman was passing by where one
OF the young men was chopping wood.

well, sir. But he ak he very foolish"

Never till now, since the horns of the
crescent were beaten down, twisted and
turned about at Tours, has Christianity
had to face and stand in full comparison
with a great pagan power. But here at
our gate has suddenly shot up a new
nation. We are the nearest Christian
neighbors OF Japan. But what, outside Of
q few books written to sell and few ser
wants, do we know of the Japanese?
Nothing.
Four or five years ago japanese students,
gentlemen, began coming to me here to
study, some from Yale on their way home,
some from Harvard, latterly some from
California schools. regret to say l know
nothing of japanese ladies further than
the dozen or two met with at Vassar Col
lege while delivering course of lectures
there years ago, but as for the men of
Japan the time has come for US to take
them seriously; not that there is anything
in the nonsensical talk about their over
running this land or unsettling rates for
laborers, they are too small for that, but
we stand in peril of "odious comparisons"
The world will say some day,if we do not
take care that the Christians are in japan
and the pagans in California.
Last night my two Japanese students

A SILK ENTHUSIAST.
Professor Joseph Newman Intends to
Reorganize It's Culture.

Professor Joseph Newman Intends to
Reorganize Its Culture.
Professor Joseph Newman is an enthu-
siast in sericuIture. All visitors to the
Mechanics Fair have seen the exhibit OF
wild silkworms feeding on cascara, and
heard the professors animated discourse
upon them. Although over 70 he is about
to reorganize the California Silk Culture
Development Company.
He is native of Warsaw. Poland, and
in measure self taught. He learned the
art of silk culture in Brandenburg, Ger
many, and afterward studied in Italy.
He has been resident of San Francisco
for thirty-six years, excepting fraction OF
that time spent in Washington, where he
was laboring for the recognition OF his
favorite plans. Because of those labors
and indeed his early successful expert
ments, he has been known as the pioneer
sericulturist Of America. His was the first
exhibit of American silk at the Centennial
Exposition and at the Vienna Exposition.
He presented silk banner of California
culture, coiored and completed by his own
hands, to Congress in 1870.
In 1890 he presented his project ana
maintained its merits before Congress
sional committee. His plan was consld-
cred impracticable and he confesses tnat
he has been styled crank, but his faith
in the ultimate success of his plan Is strong.

to laugh, for they were filled to the neck
with their own consequence, and in less
than a day had won the contempt of US
all by their assumptions. And SO at dim
ner the foreign students quietly filled their
glasses with water and then one of them
passed the wine.
But the glasses are already filled with
water. How can we take wine in them ?''
.sWhat a pity The wine is excellent;
but of course you cannot receive it if al
ready full of water
/ had become used to their little ORR
entail problems and such silent and unob-
trusive lessons and, seeing the concei ted
young men were too obtuse to receive this
hint without surgical operation, | pro-
ceeded to make the point clear, hoping
that the single lesson might enter deep
and do good. They grew angry, and went
home the same day, complaining openly
of my faulty for the "Japs," when I
merely preferred good manners. And here
let me write it down that if you want the
respect Of japanese gentleman do not
talk '.p1geon talk; use your best Eng
lish. And W hile on this point may say
you can get along much better with Chi
nese merchant, or any sort of Chinese
above .the post of poor servant by using
good, plain English.
In conclusion. let me repeat [ have
learned much of the japanese students
much more IMAM ITOu any OlleT people.
But outside of what 1 have learned from
them it is our duty to learn all we can
about them. AS their nearest neighbors,
the world will expect this of us. Back OF
all this lies the cold commercial advan-
tage of untold millions, if wisely and
practically approached. Japan, COM
mercially considered, is laden little pear
tree at our very gate; and if we do not
hold our hats and snake it others will.
1t may be news to the most of us that
the japanese students of California have
for years supported a newspaper in their
own tongue in San Francisco. From
editorials translated to me from time to
time l have found it broadly democratic
and very radical, eager for English and
American ideas, as opposed to the slow
and old methods at home. The paper has
all along been forbidden circulation in
Japan because of its republican or radical
proclivities. But its moral tone is unim-
peachable. 1t is, and was long before the
war relentless toward the Chinese. One
editorial devoted to this protested that the
Chinese were in California only to gather
money, while the industry and energy Of
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-08-25

the Japanese IN the United States was
directed solely to the lofty purpose of get
ting knowledge in the higher walks of life
and the principles of good government.
One striking editorial on the duty and
responsibilities of an editor insisted that
an editor is high priest in sacred tenn
pie, who has no right to think of taking or
making money, nor must he give the peo-
pie that for which they clamor, but only
that which is good for their good; that he
shall not give them murders and scandals,
or stories of trouble and sorrow, but only
good and beautiful thoughts and things,
as wine merchant must not give a
drunken man with depraved tastes strong
and intoxicating drinks, but only such
good and wholesome wines as may
strengthen and cheer him on and help
him to be healthier and better man. The
editorial closed by comparing the lower
class of Americans who persist in reading
sensational novels and newspapers to the
Chinese who become addicted to the opium
habit.
From what have gathered in my con-
tact with the Japanese students, and l
doubt if any man in the United States has
rubbed elbows with them more nearly
than I have here under my own roof tree,
/ conclude that not one of them is here
with the thought of remaining here longer
than he can fit himself for usefulness at
home. 1t was chance rather than design
that threw the first ones this way, and they
have continued to come-not that there is
anything here that almost any man else
where might not give them if he would,
but because my little huts on the hillside
are always open to all who come, of what
ever color or country. And then the home
sick little brownies" say that the open
little houses here and the meditative life
among the flowers and birds remind them
all the time of beautiful, beautiful Japan"

from the homesick boy TO his dear river
that runs through Toxic. In fact all
things they wrote of, as a rule, were
Japanese; although one of those now with
me is writing a book in Japanese to be

of his long poems. They have three forms
of poetry. The above is OF the briefest. The
following of which only the substance and
some of the form is set down, is of the
longest. Last evening / saw the sea mist

palace on Santa Clara Mountains beyond
the great dark and solemn bay of San

about with fire. Then l slept with the
sun and dreamed this dream: In ancient
times great king like Solomon stood here
where l slept and planned to build gleam-
ing temple away beyond the dark bay and
marshes on the mountain where / saw the
palace of clouds. And he called to a man
and said: This temple must be white like
the snow and it must never hear the sound
of hammer So take you this piece OF white
ivory across the dark BAY and through the
deep marshes and up the mountain to the
master builder who will be waiting for you
there but mind that no rain or stain or

you receive it, stainless white Then he
