GOVERNMENT BY RESOLUTION.

Again the government by resolution
comes to the front, and the able states
men of the House endeavor, by the
passing or proposing of resolutions,
springing from enemies of officials of
the government, to control the ac-
ton of the Executive departments.
1t would be just as hard to imagine
a more impertinent and unreasonable
attack upon a public official than this,
as to fail to see the animus behind the
whole affair. The Representative from
the Fifth District has been seen in the
role of mouthpiece of the enemies of
the government. From him has
emanated a series of criticisms of the
department which have been ridiculous
often, impertinent frequently, vindic-
tive always. The member has not been
the author of all the ISLANDERS which
crept into his reports. He has had the
i'll fortune, often coming to young men
entering public life, to fall into the
leading of older politicians. He entered
the House a Republican, found it con-
venient to assist the anti-administra
ton side most of the time and finally
landed squarely opposed to everything
that Is.
The fight against Assistant Superin-
tendent Campbell bears all the ear
marks of a scheme to endeavor to dis
credit young man who is compelled to
take orders from his superior. The
most transparent item in this cam
paign of insinuating SANDER is the
charge that Campbell took $1,000 out
of Fifth District road funds to build
an approach to the Hackfeld wharf.
1t was public property all along that
TIE superintendent alone had charge
OF that work yet the tutelage of the
young representative has been so pain
stalking that he never fails to lug this
point in against Campbell every time
he rises.
The remarks of Vida indicated clear
ly that this last attack originated in
The office OF the Road Supervisor. The
misfortune of Mr., Campbell seems to
be that he has made a success of his
office. His former superior failed
miserably and is no longer in office,
In tumbling he could not drag down
with him all those about him. but he
does not cease to fight against those
left over hoping to draw the sue
cessful official into the morass with
him. The young legislator who is pull
ing chestnuts out of the fire will learn
what happens when claws are used for
that purpose.

The trade treaty negotiations with
China show that country to be com
pletely under Russian influence. Other
wise China would be glad, because of
the customs revenues, to open the two
ports in Manchuria with which the
United States, England and Japan
wish to trade. Russia, however, wants
to keep Manchuria for her own and
the Chinese statesmen acquiesce with
readiness which suggests that they
are in Russian pay. 1t is now well un-
derstood that Russia got her chance in
Mancauria by bribing Ii Hung Chang;
and she is probably not above keeping
her foothold there through like
methods.

Complaint Is made that white, soft
scale is running orange trees about
town and that the aphis, a minute
black insect, is preying on the leaves.
Some trees have been given up on that
account. All that is needed, however,
to save these valuable growths is to
make an emulsion of Kerosene and
whale oil soap, the formula for which
can be had free of charge from the
United States Experiment Station, and
spray the scale with a broom or u
tin sprinkler such as the hardware
stores have for sale cheap. Whenever
a drop of the emulsion touches the
white scale the latter turns red and
dies. Occasionally the bark of the tree
should be scrubbed with the emulsion
to remove a small black scale and
cleanse the pores. The aphis yields to
the spraying treatment readily. AS the
white scale is created by ants, a poison
ed rag tied around the tree, such as is
used to keep ants from climbing table
legs, has been found efiicacious.

COURTS WILL ACT.

II would seem the greatest soit VI
nonsense at this stage. with an extra
session called for appropriations Tor
carrying on the Territorial government
for the majority party to begin to throw
out hints of special session, as IL to
sound the public. The plea that any
legislation indicating unbelief in the fu-
ture of the County Law is inadvisable,
is too thin to hold water, for the very
reason that an attack on any piece OF
legislation justifies reasonable men in
safeguarding the public good.
Right here it is safe to say that
barring the title to the bill, almost any
paragraph may be declared unconsti-
tutional without multiplying the remain
ing portions of the measure. 1t would
not be argued for a moment that the
unconstitutionality of the hack license
would kill the bill, or even that the
cutting out of the Board of Public In
stitutions would render the work of the
two houses null and void The hacks
would run in the first instance, and the
Superintendent of Public Works would
go on with his duties as under the Or
ganic Act, in the latter.
What would the Legislature do?
Would it have any guarantee that
any act it might pass would not have
to run the gauntlet of the courts? Is
1t not true that there are rumors In
number that the courts will have to
decide as to the legality of many meas
ures which have been passed during
the two sessions of this year? Then
will the Legislature want to be called
back to settle every point at which the
courts are at difference with the law
makers?
The heart of the County Act is guard
ed from attack in the main. 1t would
be a confession of weakness to refuse
to recognize contingencies and to show
confidence in the stability of legisla-
ton, by continuing the officers of the
government until there can be the most
searching inquiry into the merits of
attacks upon the law. If the law will
not hold, 1t is wise to know it at once,
before liability has been incurred. 1t
is weakness to back out rather than
to confess the strong points of an at
tack and resolve to meet and overcome
them.
If on the other hand the legislators
think they can influence the courts by
such puerile objections, they might
just as we'll realize the truth at first.
They are on the wrong tack. Right
about will land them safely in line.

1t is an odd but significant circum-

harston Campbell, the man who came
out OF the Boyd investigation without
scandal and who is known to be both

The Latin American republic, where
universal suffrage is the rule, is an I'M
happy failure but where, as in Mexico,
the republic is merely name and the
strong hand is always in sight, the
country is orderly and prosperous. The
lesson is worth studying by those who
think that it is safe to entrust the suf-
frage to anybody and everybody and
that no matter how ignorant and de-
graded a people may be it is a safe
master of its own destinies.

The United States is not wasting any
courtesy on King Peter and its envoy
left Belgrade before the new sovereign
arrived. Only Austria and Russia
tolerate him, Austria because she
wants to keep on good terms with a
neighbor whom 1t is undesirable TO
force into the arms of Russia, and Rus
STA because it is in her interest to have
an ally at Belgrade. Very likely Russia
had hand in putting Alexander off
the throne and as such can pose as
Peters best friend.

BREAKER BLOTS
OUT TWO LIVES
ItaliansFishermen Drowned Off
Cliff House When a Big
Wave Swamps Their Boat
CRAFT SINKS LIKE LEAD
Brother Toilers Who Attempt
to Rescue Them Narrowly
Escape a Similar Accident

The, lives of two fishermen were blot
ters off the Cliff House by comber,
which curled over the side of their boat
sending the craft to the bottom and
leaving the occupants struggling in the
breakers. The waves were high and the
struggle was brief. AS the men dis
appeared beneath the surface another
fishing boat reached the scene, intent
on rescue. 1t was too late, however,
and while cruising in the vicinity the
other boat narrowly escaped being
swamped.
The victims of the disaster were Jo-
seph and Salvatore Gelardi, aged % and
IS respectively. They were sons of
Leonardo Gelardi, with whom they re-
sided at 531 Francisco street. They
were both single and were members of
a family of five sons. Joseph and Sal
vatore, with their father and brothers.
came here from Italy about three years
ago and engaged in crab fishing. The
two boys recently purchased a gaso-
line boat, which they painted in gay
colors and named Familia Unita. For
tune favored the little craft. The Ge-
lardis made good catches, which they
sold for fair prices. They were pros
pering and looking forward TO spend
ing the happiest Christmas that had
fallen to their lot since long ago day
in sunny Italy.
They deft home at 4:3o o'clock yester-
day morning and were in the vicinity
of the Cliff House at o'clock. The
sea was rough and huge combing
breakers made navigation full of peril
for the cockle-sh craft of the crab
fishers The Gelardis were born boat
men and had weathered waters far more
threatening than these seemed. A blow
from a wave. however, q sudden swerVe
and the boat was wallowing in the
trough of the sea. Before the helms
man could make a move huge roller
broke high over their heads and the
little boat filled to the gunwales.
Weighted with ballast and a gasoline
engine the Familia Unita sank like
rock. A succession of breakers poured
tons of briny water on the struggling
Italians, all their youthful brawn was
of no avail. and within a few minutes
both disappeared.
Two brothers, Reulice by name, were
cruising in the vicinity. They wit
messed the swamDing of the Familia
Unita and saw the Gelardis drown.
While trying to reach the struggling
fishermen a breaker struck the Reulice
boat and their own preservation de-
manded all their skill and attention un-
til it was too late to render any aid to
the Gelardis A knitted cap and an
oar were the only objects in sight when
they drew away from the scene of the
tragedy of the sea.

CORPUS
GATE is SHUT
Another Federal Judge Hands
Down an Opinion Adverse to
Chinese Seeking Admission

United States District Attorney Mar
shall B. Woodwork received yester-
day the full text of an opinion re-
Gently handed down by United States
District Judge Roy of the northern
district of New York. which comedies
with the opinion formerly handed
down by United States District Judge
Wheeler of Vermont to the effect that
in cases where a Chinese person ap-
plies for admission to the United
States on the representation that he
is a native thereof and after hear
ing by the Chinese Bureau is denied
a landing, he is debarred from ap-
pealing to the Federal courts on hab-
eas corpus, and may appeal only to
the Secretary of the Department of
Commerce and Labor.
The learned Judges, in their opin-
IONS say that the action of the immi-
grafton authorities and of the Secre-
tary of the Department of Commerce
and Labor in such cases is final and
cannot be reviewed by the Federal
courts.
Mr.. Woodwork has instructed AS
slstdnt United States District Attor-
neys Benjamin L. Mckinley and Dun
can E. McKinlay to file demurrers in
all the habeas corpus cases of Chinese
now pending in the United States
District Court, basing the demurrers
upon the opinions referred to. Should
Judge de Haven sustain the demur-
rers, vast quantity of business will
be taken away from United States
Court Commissioner Heacock and the
District Attorneys office, and the food
of alleged native born citizens of
Chinese origin will be effectually
damned all over the United States.

WILL OF MRS. f. X. LORING
CAUSE OF LEGAL BATTLE
PurpOrted Last Testament of Eccentric
Woman Discussed in Judge
MuraskyS Court.


The document purporting to be the
will of Mrs. Emma K. Loring, the
eccentric woman who was found dead
in her home at 2409 Sacramento street
last June, was the subject of discus
sion in Judge Murasky's court yester-
day. 1t came up on preliminary pro-
ceedings to prove the document fit for
probate as the last will and testament
of Mrs Loring. The parties interested
in the suit are Martin Regeasberger,
named in the will as executor; Johanna
Reeder of New York, sister of the
deceased; George Attenborough, SON
in-law of the deceased, and the Public
Administrator.
Attorney NJ H. Heineman, who rep
resents Martin Regensberger, named in
the will as executor. testified that he
drew the will in 1858 for Mrs. Loring.
He said, however, that he had not
sufficient knowledge of her handwriting
to enable him to state whether the
cancellation was written by the de-
ceased.
Mrs. Loring fifteen years ago when he
was boy OF twelve. he SAID ne saw
a great deal of her and that in his
opinion her mind was not sound in
1895, the time the will was Cancelled.
j. NJ. Newbert, an employe of the
Public Administrator, was the first
witness examined yesterday. He tes-
titled to having gone to the home of
the eccentric woman short time after
the discovery of her death was reported
and making a search of her effects.
He said he found the will of Mrs Lor-
ing in an etagere.
