At IA Per CENT IN new YORK.

Notes.

The decline in the stock market made
further progress yesterday.
Money ruled up to IA per cent in New
York, and selling of stocks went on all
day With the moral certainty of a
poor bank statement today, with funds
disappointingly slow in returning from
the west, and with the question of
treasury relief much in doubt, the ar
gument for selling was quite ample,
and traders had steady liquidation of
long stock TO aid them in their efforts
at lower prices.
Stocks cannot be advanced when the
means the means of speculation are
lacking, and the contraction of accom-
mediation in the funds market has be-
come serious. Again. after an advance
in leading stocks averaging all Of 8
points for the month of October, it was
natural to expect tit-taking, the
more so that this advance carried prices
well nish to the years highest, while
the United States Leather manipulation
was bound to hurt the market.
The October rise in great measure
was a discounting Of favorable election
results, and with these accomplished
the immediate incentive to bullishness
i
its place, Under such conditions liquid
alton was natural, while the continued
firmness of money gives a very solid
basis to traders on the short side.

EXASPERATING DELAY.

That the deadlock must be broken
and Republican chosen Senator is the
demand of all Republicans now, with
the exception of a very few, who per-
init their personal feelings or loyalty to
pet candidates to lead them into resist
ance even to the extent of leaving the
Senatorial seat vacant.
But the thought of vacancy is insep-
erabIy coupled with ruin of the party
in California; with election of Demo-
cratic Senator two years hence, and
with complete and disgraceful surrender
of all the party battled for and won
last fall and two years ago. The one
thing to do is to call all Republican
legislators into open council and there
let the count of votes determine who
the candidate shall be, and to that
candidate let all the party vote go.
If there is no election there will be
accounting, the passing of judgment
and the infliction of punishment that
will make many a political back sore;
that will mean the summary death OF
many a. political and personal ambition
For the people, as well as the party,
will hold accountable the guilty whose
stubbornness, ambitions or chicane,
bring disaster to the party and leave
California without, full representation
in the United States Senate.

THE BEEF INQUIRY.

It is noteworthy that all the army
war, or who had experience in camp and
in mobilizing the army, agree with
General Miles that the beef furnished.
refrigerated or canned, was in the main
bad. or non-nutritive at best and was
not such as was needful to keep the
men in strength, or to build them up
after campaign fatigue.
Especially was this true of most of
the meats sent, both canned and re-
frigerated, into the tropics. On the
other hand the only men thus far who
testify that the beef was good, such as
an army ration should contain. are Off
GERS who were in, or closely related to
the Commissary Department at Wash
ington.
With every desire to be just to that
department and to have the truth
known whatever 1t may be, it must be
confessed that the impression is made
by the conduct of the inquiry now in
hand, and by the course of the late In
vestigating Commission, that powerful
influences are at work to discredit Cen
eral Miles, to cover up the frauds It
there are any. in the matter of furnish
ing meat supplies, and to keep from
the light the fact, If 1t is a fact that
chemically treated beef was furnished
through the Commissary Department to
our soldiers and that 1t was largely not
only unfit for the purposes intended. but
was absolutely injurious, and a power
full factor in bringing the men to such g
low state of health as it is admitted
they reached through lack of proper
nutrition and through the severe trials
of a hot humid climate.
The presumption must be eat' Re-
corder Davis is doing his full duty on
the Board of Inquiry, but his method
of procedure justifies the strong sus-
picion that he is prejudiced and biased
to a degree that will prevent General
Miles having justice at his hands The
whole affair is humiliating and deplor-
able, but it should be probed to the
bottom, and If guilt anywhere resides,
it should be laid bare no matter on
whom the exposure may visit punish
ment.

The anti-cartoon law which was ap-

night, does not provide for it's going
into operation on passage and approval.
Bills not thus conditioned do not be-
come effective as laws until the sixtieth
day after passage under the provision
of the Political Code treating of the
subject The yellows journalists have
full fifty-nine days more in which to

catured, or which tends to expose the
individual so caricatured to public
hatred, ridicule or contempt.
A violation of this section shall be a
misdemeanor, and shall be punished by
a fine of not less than 500, nor more
than $500, or by Imprisonment in the
County Jail for not less than one month
nor more than six months, or by both
such fine and imprisonment.
All persons concerned in said publi-
cation. either as owner or manager,
editor, or publisher, or engraver, are
each liable for said publication. Actions
for the violation of this section shall
be tried in the county where such
newspaper, handful, poster, book, or
serial publication or supplement is
printed or has it's publication office, or
in the county where the person whose
portrait or caricature is published re-
sides at the time of the alleged publ
cation.
Wherefore it will be noted that de-
bate over the constitutionality or I'M
constitutionality of the new law profits
very little, since the new bill is but
the old law rfvamped, whipped into
new shape and padded out a bit with
some new matter of not much conse-
quence, and this old law has never
been in the mind of any court or coun-
selor open to even the barest sugges-
ton of unconstitutionality.
Plainly, therefore, the only new
value of the new law Is that
it is made medium for ex-
preston of legislative indignation.
Practically, it is a benefit to scurillous
journalists, as it lessons the amount OF
ill-gotten coin they may be compelled
to pay into the public treasury, ana
the days they may be required to spend
in thoughtful meditation in Jail.

ORIENTAL PLANTS HERE
PROF. KNAPP's COLLECTION FOR EX-
PERTINENT In UNITED STATES.
Japan Persimmons, Plums. Pears,
Bamboo and Camphor Trees to BE
Given a Fair Trial.

WASHINGTON. March 12.-Prof S. A.
Knapp, the special commissioner of Secre-
tary Wilson to the Orient to investigate
the availability of Eastern plants and seeds
for common use in this country and secure
specimens OF those that are valuable,
has submitted his preliminary report
summing up the work. There are a num-
Der of seeds and plants selected for expert
ment with view to common usage here
and they include persimmons, the Eastern
product of which is a far more edible fruit
than ours, bamboo, japan plums, pears,
camphor trees and hagi. All the persmmon
and pear seedlings have reached here and
have been distributed to experiment sta
tons and the rest soon will be at hand for
experiment.
As to the persimmons, Professor Knapp
found very few varieties sufficiently tested
to be worthy Of introduction. A few, how
ever. were secured. The persimmon, the re-
port shows, is the most universally used
of all the fruits of Japan. This makes the
first importation Of the seedless variety Of
the persimmon. which is dried and pre-
served like fig. Some plums were pur-
chased in Japan for hybridizing our native
plums The bamboo is used in Japan for
an infinite variety of purposes and ii is even
a table delicacy. Whether the American
taste will be trained to use the bamboo as
a food is not ventured, but the report says
IL will thrive in many of the Southern
States and be Of great value In various
ways. Among other uses II Is suggested as
a material for eave-troughs, light fences
staging poles. rafters, etc. 1t is the product
of a warm climate and In rich, moist soil
frequently grows sixty feet in one year
The Japanese pear brought here Is very
1t is disable for this purpose throughout the
United States. One advantage it has over
the American pear Is that Ii is said to be
proof against blight. Camphor trees were
selected because this variety will stand the
frost Of our gulf States and the tree is
large and ornamental. The bark of the
paper mulberry, IL is urged, will go well
with the bamboo for a variety of purposes
The Crypomeria Japonica is the principal
tree used in reforesting the mountains Of
Japan and ii will be valuable addition to
the woods Of the Southern States. Hagi
or lespidigu bicular. is a new foliage plant
apparently of great value. 1t stands the
teristics and nutritive value, but more
hardy, thrives on poorer soil and has n more
vigorous growth. A variety of rice was
brought from the Island of Kiushi, which,
ii is said. will not break in the mill, which
causes a loss in the United States.
The Department of Agriculture has re-
ceived a consignment Of varieties of Rus
sian grains and other products, the grains
being selected with the expectation they will
resist the rust and drought. All these are
not for general distribution, but are to be
experimental with. first at the various agri-
cultural stations. Professor Knapp's report
will not be in shape for issuance for some
