SET FOR MONDAY.
Him Chune Will Have His Exami-
nation at That Time.

Thursday night Chin Ah Moon visited
police Headquarters and reported that
an attempt had been made by Suey
On Tong man to murder him.
A posse of officers started out and
shortly afterwards rounded up Him
Chune IN the Suey On headquarters.
Chin All Moon identified Him Chune as
the man who had assaulted him, and
a search of the premises revealed an
overgrown Colts revolver hidden un-
der the carpet.
In the Police Court yesterday morn
ing Him Chune was arraigned and
charged with assault with a deadly
weapon. The preliminary examination
was set for Monday next.
Chin All Moon, or Nun, was wit
ness in a recent Chinese murder case,
and the officers feel satisfied that it
is but a matter of time until the war
between the Fong Duck and the Suey
On gangs of highbinders will break out
afresh
Many citizens are of the opinion that
the gangs ought to be allowed to settle
their dispute and kill each other off.
in which case there would be no call
for expensive murder trials, which too
often result in a disagreement Of the
jury.

MADE TO PAY.
Patients That Have Hitherto Made
the State Support Them.

Acting under instructions of the State
Commission in Lunacy Secretary Car
rere visited San Francisco during the
early part of the week, taking with him
a list OF the names of patients COM
mitted to the several State asylumS
from that city, whom the commission
has reason to Believe from their COM
mitments or other reasons may be
made to pay for their maintenance at
such hospitals.
In majority of instances, Mr. Car
rere found the relatives of the patients
to be unable to pay, and the patients
themselves possessed of no property,
but in a number of instances the op-
posite was proven.
In one particular case the guardian
of a patient confined at the Napa Asy-
lum had answered a communication
from the Commission. stating that the
patient owned but a small piece of
property which gave scarcely any in
come, and that he was entirely unable
to pay for his support at the institu-
ton. Secretary Carrere's investigation
brought to light the fact that the pa
tient had So, 800 on. deposit in a San
Francisco bank, besides other property.
The guardian has been induced to pay.
Another case is that of woman who
also has a guardian. The guardian,
according to papers now on file with
the Lunacy Commission, stated that the
patient had no property to speak of,
but on searching the record, Mr.. Car
rere found she possessed property val
ued at SO, 200, and that she held note
of 5000 against the guardian in ques-
ton.
Only a day or two ago, the Commis-
sion received a note from DR.. Gardner,
in charge of the asylum, stating that
the money for the woman's mainten-
ance had been paid.
The Commission>has CONSIDERABLY de-
clined to let the names of either pa
tients or guardians be used, but the
papers are ON file and the curiosity of
individuals may be satisfied by calling
and seeing for themselves.
There are numbers of other and SIM
liar cases where State charges have
been changed into pay patients by the
Commission, and considerable sum of
money has thus found it's way back into
the public pie counters.

THE CUBAN SITUATION.

1t is announced that to-day in New
York ex-Minister to Spain Hannis Tay-
Ior will publish his views of matters
relative to the Cuban situation.
Enough is given in advance of the
promised statement to indicate that
Mr.. Taylor is convinced, first that Spain
was never sincere in the offer of an au-
tonomous form of government to Cuba
If such an offer ever was made. Sec
ond that as a matter of fact no such
promise has been extended, because if
Marshal Blanco had authority to make
such an offer he would have done so
Immediately on landing. Thirdly, that
the richer and educated classes in Spain
never will permit the Government to
concede home rule to Cuba Those
classes are for war TO the bitter end,
they believing that the insurgents can
be crushed.
Mr.. Taylor is equally convinced that
the hope of Cuban liberation lies in
recognition or Intervention in some
form by the United States. Mr.. Tay-
lor calls attention to the fact that
prominent Cubans once in favor of a
compromise on the basis of autonomy,
are now as bitterly opposed to it, and
ence. 1t must be assumed that the
ex-Minister is sincere in his statements,
and that he is prepared to fortify them,
especially when he charges that the
and deceived him, when in behalf of
the United States he was endeayoring
TO persuade the Spanish Government
to give home rule to the Cubans.
Indeed, the ex-Minister charges that
ne was so far misled by Spanish states
men as to believe that they We're all but
on the eve of assuring Cuba of peace
and autonomous government One of
these politicians bearing famous name
went So far as to give a breakfast in
honor Of the agreement and promise
through which blood letting in the de-
voted isle was to be brought to an
end.
These charges will certainly anger the
Spanish Cabinet. The earlier express
sions of Mr. Taylor published in an
Eastern magazine brought Spanish
blood to a high temperature: but that
article was as thin air to the meat and
substance promised us to-day. All this
is of greater interest from the fact
that Mr. Taylor was our Minister in
Spain under the Cleveland Administra-
ton. and as such was understood to
be rather opposed to the Cubans than
otherwise; indeed. he was generally un-
derstood to be a Spanish sympathizer.
1t is not at all improbable that Span
ish ideas of control by government over
private thought and expression may
lead TO demand upon our Government
concerning the free speech of ex-Min-
lister Taylor 1t Is TO be hoped that it
will; any thing to end the uncertainty

LET THERE BE AN INVESTIGA-
TION.

The charges Of inhuman treatment of
pupils at the Preston School of In
dustry at lone, are now so distinct,
positive and direct, that they cannot
be ignored nor be considered sufficient
ly treated by a private investigation
held by the Trustees of the institution.
These charges ought to be inquired
into openly, in the blaze of the day
light. If Superintendent O'Brien is in
nocent; if he has punished boys only
as he was justified, and to inf1iction of
that degree of physical pain that was
| necessary to quell rebellion and reduce
| investigation and insist upon its be-
| ing held in the open and not behind
closed DOORS
On the other hand if the Superinten-
dent is guilty, there is all the more
reason for inquiry of the most search
ing character, and for its prosecution
in the light.
We are not at all disposed to judge
| Superintendent O'Brien unheard There
has been denial on his part that SIM
ply offsets the charges heretofore made,
all which were more or less indefinite,
and lacked the essential of directness
and specifications. These have now
been supplied in two cases, and indi-
Gated in several others Let there
be an investigation and that at once,
| before testimony cools, and evidence
becomes difficult of production.
The reform schools Of California have
| been well conducted without applica-
ton of brutality to the pupils, and they
can be again. They have been run on
| humane principles and with success
and can be again. Political greed late
ly worked it's insidious way into the
schools, competency was displaced and
political control given power, where
before only the honor OF the State and
the good of the pupils were considered.
The Governor of the State has said
that abuses and uneconomic practices
existed in the schools prior to changes
made by him in the administrative bod
les of the institutions. However that
may be there were no charges of in
humanity laid against Superintendent
| Bank of the PRESTON School that had
any foundation deeper than the revenge
of pupils punished justly. Since his re-
moval from the school the current of
I f,oto ctr Nf
charges against the new Superintendent
that cannot be damned, nor be allowed
! to flow on unheeded.

Eban3Ss and F1annelly-they have been
outraged by the escape of some of the
criminals through the apparent ineffi-
cheney of the authorities-they have
been provoked and maddened by the
delays of courts in bringing these Grim
inals to justice-but through it all there
has not been a single lynching. and IT
is credit to the State that, under such
provocation, excitement and repeated
outrage, this has not occurred. Ii
