treated entirely as tho they were po-
Ilitical Undertakings. Taking up the
trust, the report says that when 1t
found that the chief of those whose
duty It is to prosecute offenders against
the law persistently fails and refuses
to prosecute any Of them, the question
arises: Are we suffering most from a
lack OF law or power to make law, or
from a lack of officers willing to en-
force the law? We should not drop
into the notion of considering the law
futile so long as we are afflicted with
executors OF the law who will not so
much as try to execute it. The law on
the statute hooks has no officer. TO exc
cute it, tho officers are so plentiful that
they jostle one another in their over
icrowding.
Our conclusion is" the report says,
that IL the existing laws were enforced
much would be done toward lessening
the trust evil; but those whose duty
1t is to enforce these laws will not per-
form that duty

The Moral Effect of Mafckina.

London. May 22.-The Times editorial
leader this morning says:
THE moral effect OF what has hap
'pened during the last three months is
clearly visible both in South Africa and
outside OF 1t.
Comments or silence from the con-
tinental newspapers tell the same
story and most significant OF all is the
complete failure OF the Boer envoys in
the United States to produce any seri-
Ous impression whatever.
Even during the excitement OF a
presidential campaign the senate has
rejected by majority OF thirty-six
against twenty-one the proposal to. all
low the representatives of the Beers to
plead their cause before that distin-
guished body. and. moreover, they later
had an interview with Mr.. Hay. the
secretary OF state, and he has assured
them that while the president is most
sincerely desirous OF peace he feels
bound to adhere to the policy of Impair
tial neutrality which was declared
when the war broke out.
TT Is obvious that any compliance
with the petition OF the Beers would be
Inconsistent with that policy. especial
" after Lord Salisbury's explicit dec
larAtion that this country does not in
tend to admit either interference or
mediation by any other power In South

CHINESE DEFY THE LAW.
Refuse TO BE Inoculated with Plague e
Serum nt ,Frlsco.

San Francisco, May 22-Defying fed
eral authorities the Chinese highbind-
ers have threatened to asskssinate any
Chinaman who submits to inocu.ation.
with haffkine prophylactic, the bubonic
plague preventative prescribed by the
board Of health. The $4,000 Chinese in
Chinatown are terrorized by the threat
ana its accompanying explanation that
the whole thing is a white mems plot to
kill the Chinese, and so far, except in a
few cases, have successfully resisted or
evaded the order for general inocula-
ton.
Ho Vow, the Chinese consul general
in this city, said that the Chinese would
not submit to inoculation; that many
of those who have undergone the oper-
alton are deathly sick, and that each
case adds to the terror of the Chinese.
| A Chinese clerk in the employ of the
consul. and residing in Berkeley, was
forcibly compelled to submit to inocula-
ltion before he was allowed to cross the
bay to his home. He has since been
very sick. a high fever raging, and his
life is despaired Of Mr.. Vow stated that
he was in communication with the Chi
nese minister at Washington, but that
no definite action had been decided up
lon.
4 The board of health met yesterday
land listened to attorneys employed by
4 lChinese, who argue against forcible at
ltempts to make the Chinese submit. DIR
kinyoun, federal quarantine officer. said
A that the federal government had in
structed him to take ac.ion to prevent
4 Chinese who had not been inoculatec
with the serum from leaving town. HI

portation companies to this effect
president Williamson said that the
board OF health would consider wha
was to be done and that some measure.
