FULL STEAM AHEAD.

C OPIES of the Jubilee edition of The Call issued | in time to be started from the Oakland mole
 at I:53 Sunday morning were delivered at Sac ramento within hour and forty minutes later, and in Los Angeles within twelve hours. The earliest riserS in the capital found The Call awaiting them and in the far City of the Angels the people had the satisfaction of receiving and reading the grand ed- tion early in the afternoon.
 These feats were record breakers for the railroad Never before has such swift time been made on long railway in California and but rarely in any part of the world. The time made to Los Angeles was, in fact extraordinary achievement and will be long memorable in railroad records During the run the breaking of a bolt delayed the engine an hour and fortyve minutes and still the ripwas made Ill less time than originally estimated For portion of the way the speed exceeded seventy miles an hour
 By breaking the railroad records The Call main tained its It is always on time It never fails to surpass bygone achievements and to set up new standards of excellence for the emulation of rivals In this instance 1t obtained double triumph by pub fishing the best Jubilee edition and by delivering it more promptly than any other paper. When other morning journals of this city reached the interior they were virtually back numbers. The people had already learned the news of the day and read ac- counts of the grand Golden Jubilee hours before in the glowing columns of the speedy Call
 Full steam ahead" was announced as the motto Of The Call when the management took charge and full steam ahead it is The Call Is going to the front in all lines of newspaper activity with rapid ity and sureness that break all records It is mak- ing itself known the ideal Californian paper It is prompt to give special distinction to each event of notable importance that arises it is prompt to cham pion enterprise and movements for good government Tn all sections of the State 1t is prompt to expose corruption wherever may be found and to denounce

THE HUNTINGTON MESSAGE.

I N yesterdays edition of this paper appeared a
 message from Mr. Huntington. It counseled a change in the people of California, in effect, the cultivation of spirit of unselhshness leading them to work for the common interest. Surely the advice is good for this State for any other.
 It would be ungracious to MT. Huntington's message text for harsh comment the ex- cuse for reproducing comment such has been found necessary on other occasions. Let the mes sage be accepted as sincere and well intended. But MT. Huntington must know that here the opinion prevails that he, more than any other person, is responsible for the lack of progress to which he refers Could he not then, find it possible set an example? Precept is excellent, but there is always much of it, and of example the rarity has often been noted. There can be objection to Mr. Hunting tons offering wise counsel But he to act upon 1t there would be applause.

 < aids, and is. therefore. the more < < heartily appreciated by the readers 1 4 of The Call. It was an entirely new 1 < and novel experience for the people 1 4 of this city. San Francisco papers 1
 % have heretofore run special trains 1 4 for the accommodation and conven- 1 4 fence of their subscribers in large 1 4 interior cities like Sacramento and < < San Jose, and smaller towns along 1 Y the route have enjoyed the benefit 1 4 of such enterprise, but no San 1 4 Francisco morning paper has ever 1 4 before succeeded in reaching Wood 1 4 land at such an early hour. In ac- 1
 4 complaining this feat the enter 1 4 prise of The Call was ably second 1 4 ed by it's local agent, Mir. E. P 4

It consists of forty-two 1
 4 pages, not one of which is dull or 1 4 commonplace. The cover is hand < 4 some and artistic and the design is 1
 @ especially appropriate for the oc- 1 4 casion.

IS IT 1 TO LAUGH2 !

 flee of the Palace. 'tTake that catch phrase of The Girl From Paris Is it to laugh?' for instance. Mr. Rice offers re- ward for any person not claiming it's birth as an effort of his own brilliancy "One afternoon on walking up Broad way in New York he stopped at the Elm pire Theater. There he met Al Hayman, who said, Do you know how that phrase you're using originated? I can tell you. Harry Mann had a German aunt whom he took to see Secret Service" As they started out she exclaimed enthusiastic ally, ''Is it to laugh, is it to cry?" That's how the thing started
 ''As Rice travelled from city to city with his show he nRt in each place some fel- low who had Ah aunt, father. mother-in- law or dead brother, to each one of whom the catchy saying was accredited. Now here is the straight story:
 'One of the actors in The Girl From Paris is the son of German. When the piece was first put on he invited his moth CT to witness the performance. Well, mother said he at supper, what do you think of the show?' 'Ach, mein son. chuckled the old lady in reminiscence of her enjoyment. Vat do I say about it al- ready? Is it to laugh

This clever man has done what hun dreds of others have done before him.
 He has reasoned backward, so to speak
 He has been lured to think the Ha- waiian Islands strategically of value to us, and then has tried to find premises for his conclusion. In the attempt he has been compelled to assume these two self-evidently fallacious propositions:
 CD That if we decline the territory (with it's coolies) some other nation will accept the gift that is at present going a-begging. @ The nation that em- braces the group will be one with which we shall quarrel. If on consideration he will assert these premises to be ac- curate. his conclusion shall be admitted. But he will not, and it is on them that all his argument has been based as to the strategic value of these islands. There is another point worth noticing by those who quote this gifted man on this proposition. He sees in the group coal base for cruisers and fleets gen. erally. For this he may be forgiven. The labor and the time necessary to produce what he has written is so im- mense that it would fairly stagger one unacquainted with popular technical exposition. But the world turning upon its axis (except when ordered to stand still by Joshua or the Chronicles as- tronomer) advances without regard to what the most distinguished men are doing for the instruction of those less enlightened. Progress in no branch of life calls a halt. Methods that are modern when one commences on work of the nature that made Captain Mahan famous are often regarded as out-of- date when the textbook appears The evidence of to-day is that navies will be coaled at sea in the near future The system is now almost perfected. Three years to come it is more than probable that the immense coal-carrying steam CTS of all countries will be fitted to en- able them to rapidly supply coal to battle ships, cruisers and smaller craft
 Three years ago the possibility of mak- ing sea-coaling success was scorned. Textbooks like the one Cap tain Mahan has produced are not evolved in year or two when they are so excellent, and the instances in which he is wrong about Hawaii are to be half excused because of the general ex- cellence of his work. The coal base of an enemy who attacks this coast in the future will not be Honolulu: it will be

In spite of all the feverish haste to be rich, maugre all Klondike crazes, and all socialistic crazes pursued by those who expect or hope in some magical or fnde- tinable. way to live off society, with little personal effort, it is still a truth. and ever will be a truth that the rewards of this world will go to those who earn them by slow, patient, steady industry: by careful, prudent, calculating endea- vor; by. painstaking application, temper ate living and slow saving.-Portland Oregonian.

Miss Dressler was playing at the Columbia Theater in Washington, D. C., and Miss Cisneros of Cuban and Karl Decker fame was in one of the boxes. She was par ticularly pleased with one of Miss Dress ler's songs and was very enthusiastic in her applause. Miss Dressler acknowl- edged the compliment of Miss Cisneros by tossing her bunch of roses which she carried. In so doing the ring slipped from her finger and striking the stage close search was made, but the ring was not found.

The owner of the stand made his presence known just at the moment the fellow hand was-coming out of the drawer. and said:

Week of Revival Meetings Wound Up
With an Entertainment on Saturday
Evening.

Affairs seem to be prospering with
the Mormon colony at Laie. The
pumping machinery has been connect
ed with the new well recently bored
by McCandless Brothers, and an abun-
dance of water from two wells is now
assured for future operations. The
water is pumped into large flume,
which skirts the hillsides on the high
lands. This is tapped at intervals and
the water directed where it is wanted.
A large quantity of new land will thus
be made available for sugar cane. The
cane is ground at the Kahul<u mill, to
which it is conveyed by a railroad.
\ series of largely attended meet

fully equal to any similar performance

up entirely of young men belonging to

A REAL CHINESE PUZZLE.
FATE OF CHINESE EMPEROR Is
UNKNOWN.
All Kinds of Rumors Circulated
Throughout the Orient-Several
Mysterious Arrests Made.

The latest concerning the Emperor
of China appears in a Peking tele-
gram of the goth, which says: Owing
to the illness Of the Emperor, all the
eminent physicians throughout the
Empire have been summoned to Pc
king.
Many persons believe this is merely
a preliminary designed to facilitate
the disposition of the Emperor.
The Japan Daily Mail of the 30th
says:
In answer to an inquiry made by
the Japanese government after the
health of the Emperor of China, tel
egram has been received to the effect
that his majesty is safe. The people
remain calm and quiet.
The Mainichi is authority for a re-
port that a rumor is widely circulHt-
ed in Tokyo, that a Chinaman named
Kang, who is supposed to be Eang
Yu-wei, the so called assassin OF the
Emperor, landed at Balkan from Chi
ma, on a merchant ship, under the
flag of a nationality not stated, in the
afternoon of Tuesday, Septembec o.

danger the life of the Empress Dow
ager, but that the representative OF IA
certain civilized power Immediately
demanded that his life should he
spared. 1t is further rumored that
Kang was arrested Immediately after
his arrival at Balkan.
According to a telegram received in
Tokyo a few days ago, Kang is sus-
pected if conspiracy to assassinate
the Empress Dowager and not the
Emperor as previously reportal. yhe
recent coup at Peking is now said TO
have been precipitated by the a5tempU
of Kangfi and other radical reform
ers to deprive the Empress Dowager
of all power, in order that the contern-
plated reforms might be accomplish
ed in conjunction with the Emperor.
The plot, however, soon reached the
ears of their opponents, who took
instant steps to frustrate the conspi-
rators.

THE ISLAND OF LUZON TO BE
RETAINED.
Americas Ultimatum in Regard to
the Philippines-Spain Fears to Ac-
cede Because of the Carlists.

TOKYO, September 27.-According
to a telegram from a most trustwor-
thy source at Washington the United
States commissioners at Paris will
make the following demands:
1. That the island of Luzon in the
Philippines shall be retained by the
United States.
?. That United States citizens shall
enjoy the same rights as Spanish sub
iects in regard to trade in the other
islands of the Philippine group.
3. That no Spanish colonial posses
sions shall be ceded to any other for
eign power.
The Spanish view on the terms of
peace laid down by the United States
is said to be as follows:
!. 1t is impossible to cede the island
of Luzon. as it is the largest and the
most important island of the group.
Moreover, the island being an archie
piscopal seat, if it is ceded to the Unit
ed states, a Protestant country, the
Carlists will appeal to the Pope to stir
up the people of Spain against the
present dynasty.
