THE LOVE OF WOMEN.

: The tragic death of two women in
Stockton for love of one another, one
by rnurderous and the other by sui
cidaI hand, recalls to memory the fact
that infatuation Of one woman for an
other has been known before. 1t
cannot be said that it is a frequent
phenomenon, but it is repeated suffi-
GENTLY often and eliminates often
enough in sorrow and tragedy to make
it recognizable form Of insanity. These
two women in Stockton were in love
with one another. The stronger, more
masculine and assertive of the two evil
IDENTIFY fascinated and dominated the
other. This she did not for love of
domination and control. but out of a
physical and unholy love.
There can be in such passion moth
ing natural 1t is abnormal, animal
and uniovely in all respects, though it
is true that the sympathy OF sex is
stronger in women than in men. The
warmth of affection between two Wo-
men as friends is as natural as the
friendship which binds two men, In
either case the causes may De al

TO PROMOTE TRADE WITH CHINA

Consul Wilcox, representing the Unit
ed States at Hankau, China. writes IN
response to inquiries, and his letter ap-
pears in the latest issue of Advance
Sheets of Consular Reports" upon our
opportunities for building up. large
trade in China Mr.. Wilcox is in line
in his advice with nearly all of our
Consuls for ten years past, in insisting
that we should make exposition in
China of what we have to sell that
will find a Chinese market. He be-
heves that the time is now ripe for the
development by America in China of
fine and most profitable trade.
He would have in four or five Of the
leading commercial cities of China ex-
positions in charge of experienced bus
mess men, those familiar with the
manners, language and trade of the
Chinese. AT such expositions, which
we infer he means should really be per-
manent exhibitions or bazars, he would
have US expose in variety samples of
our products and manufactures which
the Chinese trade may take, or does
demand. He tells us that which awak-
ems surprise, that thirty years ago there
was a large Number of just such men
as he describes, citizens of the United
States, engaged in business in the
Chinese empire; to-day they are very
few. But the French, English, Rus
SLAMS, japanese and Germans conduct
their trade in China through such agen-
cies, and they are, in consequence, graf
flied by witnessing its steady expansion
and healthful growth. The Consul
adds:
There are now q large number of
Americans visiting China representing
various trade organizations in the
United States. These representatives
visit the Ministers and Consuls and re-
quest them to get dates for interviews
with the Tsungli Yamen at Pekin, the
Viceroys, and other high officials in the
various provinces of the Empire. Their
plans are similar, they are all from the
United States, and they request the
Tsungli Yamen to instruct the Vice
roys to gather specimens, to be sent to
the association they represent. OF
course, each commission informs the
officials that his league is composed of
the most prominent and wealthy COM
mercial men of his country. The con-
sequence is that the Chinese officials,
by having so many associations brought
to their notice, are confused. They
have not the time or inclination to as
sist ALL and, while they will promise to
do many things to help the enterprise,
they give little or no attention to the
matter. II all these associations in
the United States that are working to
the same end and wish to accomplish
the same purpose would unite into one
organization, they could and would ac-
complish wonderful results. Business
is not done in the same manner in
China as it was thirty years ago. when
it was virtually in the hands of for
eigners. During these years. the Chin
csc have become educated in the man
ner of conducting commercial enter
prises, and to great degree have
wrested the trade from the foreigners
and carry it on themselves.

There is always the danger of giving
the term liberty misconstruction. 1t is
no where absolute and never can be
with safety to civilization. The citi-
zens of the United States have liberty,
but under law. The slaves of the South
were freed, but not from the domination
of orderly regulation. Men say well
that they are free, but it is always
understood that 1t is freedom to do
right, to abide by the orders and edicts
of organized society. But the liberty
for which the Chicago anti-expansion-
list mass meeting of Sunday pleads for
the Tagals of Luzon, is a liberty that
will give them license to do precisely as
they please regardless of the demands
of international compaets, the neces-
sites of communicating nations, and
the rights acquired by the United
States under treaty with Spain, she
dominating the Philippines at the time,
and having the recognition of the world
as to her capacity TO treat upon the
subject.

PORTO RICAN COMPETITION.
San Diego Union: Porto Rico is

tells OF a sale of 173 barrels of Porto
Rican oranges in New York on the
list ult., the consignment being the
third recently received. The paper de-
clares that judging by the last con-
signment 1.-The Porto Rico orange is a
| remarkably fine fruit, full of juice, of
flavor and in many respects very much
on the style of a firslt-class Florida
orange The paper adds: THE
packing, SO far, is very crude and ship
pers from the island, however up-to-
date their ideas, will have many diff
culties to surmount before they can
put those ideas into practical shape.
But once the problem of getting the
fruit from Porto Rico to this port In
good condition is suTmounted, the Porto
Rico fruit trade will have to be reck-

would seem that California, rather than
Florida, would have to reckon with the
