German Millionaires.

The differences in the unit of money

ing of the word millionaire Web
sters dictionary defines a millionaire
as "one whose wealth is counted by
millions" In popular use one who has
a million is regarded as millionaire. In

worth S4.S6 and a fraction of our mon

the American before the Englishman
could take rank in the noble army of

1T CANNOT BE DONE.

1t Is represented that China has
made a direct proposition to the United
States Government for the negotiation
of an extradition treaty under which
criminals of Chinese nativity can be
deported and sent to China for punish
ment. The purpose of the Chinese Gov
eminent is to put an end to highbinder-
ism, which Is bringing the Chinese in
home Government has become alarmed
1t is added that the Washington au-
thorities hesitate about entering into
any such negotiation on the ground
that 1t would be a dangerous precedent,
and because of the certainty that Chi
nese criminals sent to China would be
tried summarily and executed. To this
it is said that the Chinese Government
is willing to guarantee full and fair
trials to all accused deported Chinese.
It would be a godsend if the United
binder element. 1t Is to the credit Of
China that she offers to effect the
clearance. The highbinder Is men,
Der of putative fraternal and insur-
ance association, which on the surface
is as mild and harmless as a dove. Be-
meath the cover. however, the member
ship of such associations Is simply a
band of assassins for hire. Killing,
wounding and terrorizing is their busi-
ness. They have no other.
But unless formation Of and member
ship in such societies is made criminal
it will be impossible for the United
States to enter any agreement with
China on the subject. We never can
consent to deport any one domiciled in
the United States upon the demand Of
another Power, except that person is
charged with a crime, which would be
recognized as such under our laws, and
which crime must have been commit
ted within the jurisdiction of the de-
manding nation. To extradite high
binders on the demand Of China for
crimes committed here would be to do
that which is hostile to our system and
in violation of the most sacred rights
of person.

Our New Warships.

It was not the recreation of the
American navy that caused the estab-
lishment Of nearly all of the present
leading shipbuildipg companies en-
gagged in constructing American war
ships, but the requirement, Vigorously
insisted upon by former Secretary Of
the Navy Whitney, that our new war;
ships should not only be designed in
the United States, but that every por-
tion of them should be constructed
here, out of native materials 1t was
that requirement that gave confidence
and courage to American capitalists to
put the millions of dollars needed to
properly equip a modern shipbuilding
plant into American yards, and with
the result that our war with Spain
found us with a navy, even If not with
merchant marine, fully UP to the

BOYLE rs WINNER.
Judge Hughes Appoints Him
Guardian of Frank Deyiu.

The arguments in the case of the ap-
plication Of Thomas Boyle for the
guardianship of Frank Devin were
made before Judge Hughes yesterday
afternoon, Hiram w. Johnson speak
ing for petitioner and Clinton L. White
for the contestants.
After the arguments were finished,
Judge Hughes said that he did not re-
member a case since he had occupied
the bench, that had caused him so much
embarrassment to decide.
The testimony of the boy and the con-
versations he had had with him had
shown him that the boy did not UNDER
stand his rights and what should be his
wishes for the future. He evidently
did not know as much as most boys Of
his age do. He was clearly attached
to Mr.. and Mrs. Boyle which showed
they had been kind to him. There was
another difficulty in the business in
which both Boyle and the boy were en-
gagged. OF course If the court is salts
fed, it should comply with the wishes
of the minor as to who should be his
guardian. In this case the petitioner is
racing man and wants. to use the boy
in his business.
he uau lnOuguL at IlrSl LndI he WOulU
deny the petition, but had changed his
mind and now thought that, although
Boyle was in business that did not
make him the best man for guardian,
and though the position OF the other
parties mentioned was better In that
respect, he thought Boyle on the whole
was the best qualified and he would
therefore appoint him.
At the same time, the evidence shows
that Boyle had not kept an account Of
the money won by the boy and he
must keep it hereafter. He would or
der him to file within fifteen days an ac-
count of the boys past winnings and
thereafter every six months. He
would also advise him to ascertain If
some one else will pay him more than
he will, and make q contract with them,
If so, for the boys benefit, as the boy
does not belong to him and he is not
entitled to his wages, which belong to
the boy himself.
He would fix Boyle's bond as guar
dian at $1,000.

It is said that when an English pub
Usher buys an American book, he usu-
ally buys the sheets and binds the
volume himself. He does this be-
cause he saves money in transporta-
ton charges, and he meets the English
taste as to form. But English books
are not so much treated in that way
on this side of the water. though that
in the near future our publishers will
do more of sheet buying and less Of
reprinting is expected BY the way.
the magazines convey the news
that American books are coming into
much more favor in England, and espe-
cially in London. The newer takings
relate especially to works on Cuba and
the Philippines, on labor questions and
sociology, on travels. adventures In
wilds, on minera1ogy and electrical
science, while there has been a de-
cided improvement in orders for ro-
nance by American writer's, and his
torical gatherings by Americans rela-
tive to our continental history and ma
tional development. This latter item
indicates that John Bull is seeking to
enlighten himself still more concerning
a people toward whom he has been
SO recently much closely drawn by the
forces of sympathy and the promise of
better commercial relations.

Usur country, and Ice breakers are to
keep Vladivostock harbor open to nav
igation all winter. Germany, therefore,
looks to trade in that quarter Of the
world for her merchants. and Is the
first to move in the direction Of secur-
ing 1t.
While Prince Henry is operating in
Russian territory, with that end in
view. the Kaiser himself goes into the
far East, ostensibly upon a religious
pilgrimage, and one of the leading
journals Of Germany openly states that
that one purpose of the Emperor's
Emperor's trip, it asserts, is to have
an influence extending beyond Pales-
tine. He desired to show the East
ern people something of the capacity
of Germany to produce and manu-
facture, and to meet demands. He sent
his brother to find new ways and roads
along which the nations commerce
can be carried, and places where it
can be profitably sold or exchanged.
and he was not idle in seeking new
fields himself.
Our Consul tells us that already
active German agents are diligently at
work in Siberia, and Russia proper,
with view of pre-empting trade for
the home country. There are now
eighty-two German ships, aggregating
$4,000 tons heading the list of those
plying between Vladivostock and
Hongkong, Shanghai and Nagasaki.
We are told that the sudden rise of
VIadivostock, after the rates for freight
and travel were reduced upon the
Usuri Railroad, is due not so much to
Russian influence as 10 the enterprise
of German shipowners.
Our Consul gives us this bit of advice
concerning these premises: 1T Is pos
sible for United States manufacturers,
If the right kind of effort is made, to
get a good deal Of Russia's trade.
Her needs are similar to- our own or to
what ours were fifty years ago. There
never was a time SO important to our
people. IF we are wise we viii watch
the methods Of others"
This applies with particular force to
merchants and manufacturers of the
Pacific Coast. We are nearby, so to
speak, to the new developing section
to which German enterprises is ad-
dressing itself. The completion of the
Trans Siberian Railway is going to
bring US very near to the country Ger
man merchants are now canvassing.

Down at Pomona the orange growers
have unanimously agreed that no or
asnges shall be shipped from that sec
kion except they are ripe. That is to
say. no more green oranges are to be
sent East to ripen by what is simply
a species of decay en- route. That is a
sensible move, and it should obtain
everywhere in the State. There is no
reason but plenty of greed in shipping
half ripened oranges to the East. The
system hurts the market and puts Cali
fornia citrus products at decided dis
advantage. Not that the fruit is to be
allowed to ripen to such mellowness
that it will be menaced by decay en-
route, but that 1t should not be taken
from the branch when 1t is still green
and wholly unripe. Than the California
ripe orange there is no more delicious
fruit A market supplied with such
Rruit win never fail the grower, while a
sour orange business will kill the best
market in the country.
