The Situation In Europe.

Current Events in Europe, Asia and
Africa seem to be loaded with influences
TO disturb the peace of the old world.
As yet the United States is not involved,
but that is because of Spain's weakness
and not her disinclination. It has
been q great many years, II, indeed,
there ever were so many disturbing
elements as now. Great Britain aud
Russia are in serious trouble in China;
France and Great Britain are getting
dangerously close together in the Sou
dan, and Germany is waiting TO take
advantage of circumstances. A strong
effort is being made through French
intrigue to open up the entire Egyptian
question, which, If opened, would in
volye all the powers. Emperor Will
liam has resolved himself into a Holy
Land crusader. and the powers are
suspicious that it means valuable
Turkish concession on land and on
water to the German empire. This.
too, is disturbing factor of no mean
proportions.
II is true the countries OF Europe are
upon peace footing armies Of Russia,
Germany. Austria-Hungary. France.

Trade and the Flag.

Says President Mckinley: 1--WE
have pretty much everything In this
country to make it happy. We have
good money, we have ample revenues,
we have unquestioned national credit,
but what we want is new markets, and,
as trade follows the flag. it looks very
much as if We were going to have new
markets"
Trade follows no flag other than Its
own, which is bargains in goods and
wares 1t is also a flag of universal
peace. and wfeu nations begin to burn
gunpowder it bastens out of reach. nor
does ii return until the smoke has
cleared away. Trade knows nothing
about sentiment. patriotism or philan-
thropy. One national flag is as good
as another. and never stops to inquire

The Trusts Progress.

The Linseed Oil combination is about
to evolve itself out of chaos and re-

It would be interesting to know how
much of this immense capital is real

consumers to pay for necessaries of

A Menace to the Workers.

The most interesting question to the
wage earuers OF this country regard
ing the probable annexation OF the
Philippines is whether the contract
labor law will apply to those islands.
II the special legislation providing
for the annexation of the islands is SO
framed as to guard American workmen
against an incursion of a host of cheap
laborers from the Philippines. wage
earners in the United States will
breathe freer. They will still have to
compete with cheap Asiatic labor em-
ployed In the factories and mills that
will be erected in the Philippines.
But they will at least not have large
addition TO the colored labor at home
competing for their places.

Great Britain and Italy aggregate
100000 soldiers. This is an enor-
nous body of men to keep In idleness
and absolutely non-productive. and it
is too large body Of men to let the
nations go to war with a feeling Of uu-
preparedness. Should war ensue, those
six nations would quickly put their ar
mics upon war footing. when their
combined forces would aggregate 16,-
915. 900 men. Thus. it will be seen,
Europe is living upon the crest OF a
volcano that only needs a little agita-
ton to open craters in all directions.
The Chinese question is the most dam
gerons to the peace OF Europe, how
ever. 1t is to Russia's railway aud
commercial as well to Russia's railway
and commercial as we'll as TO the inter-
est of her military establishment that
she should possess the whole OF the
province of Manchuria. She needs TO
make Port Arthur instead OF Vladivo-
stock the terminus of the Siberian rail-
way. It would save more than 1000
miles of ocean travel and give the road
one of the best harbors in Asiatic
waters; besides, as strategic point
in cases OF war, Port Arthur would
give Russia incalcuable advantages.
Fully IS per cent of the present COM
merce of Manchuria is controlled by
Great Britain, and it is very valuable.
Whether it is worth going to war over,
aad whether Russia is to be allowed to
take peaceable possession of Manchu-
ria, with the innumerable commercial
and military advantages that 1t would
confer, remains to be seen. Clearing
the decks of British warships In Chin
ese waters for action would indicate
that it is England,s purpose TO file q
protest with powder and shot.
As to opening up the Egyptian ques-
ton, which France is urging, Great
Britain could no more allow her au-
thority in that country to be question
ed than she could permit her sover-
eighty in England TO be doubted.
Years ago France was co-partner of
Great Britain in the conquest or Egypt,
but she withdrew when the outlook
was discouraging. England kept peg
ging away with money, diplomacy and
artillery, and now she is master of the
situation from Cairo to Cape Good
Hope, with the khedive of Egypt prop
er willing alder and abetter of Great
Britain's Afrlcan territorial plans. No
European country has so valuable out
lying possessions as England has in
the Soudan. She would engage In an
endless war before her people would
permit her ownership of the Nile coun-
try to be disputed. There are enough
elements of threatening character Ia
Europe to involve all the powers In an
armed conflict. and 1t is possible thst
and statesmanship may
prove to be too weak to avert it. What
the position OF the United States would
be in that event no man could tell at
this stage of the embodiment OF events.

INDICTMENT DETERMINED ON.
The Grand Jury Did Not Have a
Quorum.

The Grand Jury failed to secure a quo
rum last night for the transaction of
business. Only nine members responded
to the call for the meeting, four of the
others being out of town, one i'll and the
others engrossed In politics. 1t is under
stood that the jury has determined on
one indictment in connection with the
School Board lumber shortage and that
Contractor Swift will play an important
part in it. The Grand Jury has still in
hand questions relating to the School
Board, and as already intimated in The
Call, will look into the recent appoint
ment of extra teachers. Several witnesses
were subpenaed for this purpose last
evening and will be on hand again when
the jury meets next Thursday.
The Committee on Supervisors is busily
at work looking into certain transactions
of that board and will have a report to
present within a few days.

The bids for dredging Lake Merritt were
opened by the Board of Public Works this
morning and several contractors submit
ted their figures
The meeting was attended by many in
fluential members of the Lake Merritt
Sanitary Improvement Club, Peralta
Heights Improvement Club, Senator
Stratton and others who were present to
offer to the Board of Works in connection
with the dredging twenty acres of land
which can be used for a park after it is
filed in with the mud from the lake.
The twenty acres of marsh land be-
tween Eighth and Twelfth streets were
formally offered to the city through the
Board of Works. and when 1t is filled In
it is said that the property will be worth
not less than 10000 for which the city
will have paid nothing.
Senator Stratton rendered the land to
the Board, and in doing so said: THE
Peralta Heights Improvement Club offers
a donation which, unless accepted at this
time, may never be offered again. This
land, at present q nuisance, can be made
q beauty spot, with a fine waterway tor
the passage of boats. and with ample pro-
visions for flooding the lake. It will make
1t possible to remove the car tracks from
Eleventh to Twelfth streets and give a
fine driveway not only over Eleventh
street but on a hundred and fifty foot
highway on Twelfth street. 1 think it is
time that these improvements were made
and we ask the BOARD TO accept the
dredging bid. which provides THAI the city
shall furnish its own dumping ground, so
that we can be assured OF this park.
Several other members expressed the
same ideas.
The bids were received from San Fran
