Deficient Than the Soldiers

JAPANESE AND SANFRANCISCO
Newspapers Claim the Action Of San
Francisco School Board Relative
to Japanese Disgrace to
American Manhood.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 12-The stea-
mer Empress of Japan which arrived
today from the Orient, brought news
Of the Chinese military maneuvers In
in North China. Japanese correspon-
dents who accompanied the maneuvers
are unanimous in stating that while
the operations showed distinct signs
of progress, the Chinese troops are
not yet qualified to range themselves
against occidental soldiers. The men
are considered deficient In nerve, the
movements of the various bodies are
not properly co-ordinated, and there
was want of uniformity. The educa-
tion of officers is considered especially
defective Two armies marched at
first around each others f1anks and
their encounter was consequently be-
lated. Unlike the previous years man.
euvers there was no Encouragement.
The northern army under Viceroyr
Yuan Shih Kai was defeated at first,
one of its wings being broken and for
ced to retire. The southern army un-
der Viceroy Shang Chih Tung then as
sumed the offensive but was unable
to dislodge Yuan's forces and exposed
its own flank when the northern army,
taking advantage of the strategical
blunder recovered it's lost ground and
forced the southern army into retreat
The troops engaged numbered $4,000.
They marched we'll and had good ap-
pearance as'to arms, horses and equip
ment.
1t was noticed that the queues were
docked. Yuan Shih Kai's verdict was
that there was want of uniformity in
the armies greater practice in muske-
try was necessary and other improve
ment needed. The southern army was
greatly inferior to the northern force
in equipment.
Japanese newspapers received by
the Empress of China are filed with
comment regarding the anti-Japanese
demonstration at San Francisco
Some write very bitterly. The Nippon
says the Procedure at San Francisco
is disgraceful from the point of view
of American manhood. 1t is an echo
of the cry of the unfit to be suffered
to survive. Seeing themselves threa-
tened with submergance in the struggl
of life they fall back upon weapons
universally condemned by civilization"
The battleship Satsuma, $1,000 tons,

Efforts to Secure Legislation Against
Japs Attending School.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13.-The
Call will say tomorrow that Secretary
Metcalf, before leaving for Washing
ton today confided to few intimate
friends that the sentiment of the peo-
pie of San Francisco If not the whole
state, was opposed to allowing Japan
ese or Chinese children to mingle
freely with Caucasian children In the
public schools, and that 1t is likely
that statue providing that Asiatic
children shall be taught in separate
schools will be strengthened at the
coming session of the legislature. AS
a lawyer, the secretary told the Call,
that his opinion was that the treaty
with Japan guaranteed Japanese chill
dren equal rights with children of the
most favored nation, and that the pro-
visions in the California statues of
that kind would be unconstitutional

Odell stated that the people Of this

President Roosevelt did more harm

factor by his campaign and that while
he might not be elected President. he
was a man to be reckoned with in
the future.
He said that combination OF Bryan

the Republicans to beat. and believes
that Hearst and Bryan had COM

to support Hearst for governor and
Hearst In to support Bryan for the

CURRENCY QUESTION.
Views Expressed at the Meeting Were
Not Altogether Harmonious.

WASHINGTON, Nov 13.-For more
than five hours today, the Currency
Committee of the American Banking
Association and the New York Cham
ber OF Commerce discussed the formu-
latlon of principles which are to form
the basis of legislation for the issu-
ance Of emergency currency In times
of financial strlngency. These princi-
pies will be recommended to congress
for enactment into law at the coming
session.
Although the views expressed today
were not altogether harmonious at all
times, the discussion showed an evi-
dent disposition to reach a common
ground. The discussion today devel-
oped a sentiment in favor Of curren-
cy to be issued during the periods of
financial stress, as Is done in various
European countries

Believed General Rheinbot Threw
Bomb Himself.
TO RETRIEVE FORTUNES
Alleged That the General Shot His
Supposed AssaiIant to Get Rid of
Hi mand Story is Generally
Believed.

MOSCOW, Nov. 13.-Although Gen
Rheinbot received hundred messages
including one from the Emperor, to-
today, congratulating him on his mar
row escape from assassination, there
are ugly rumors in Moscow that
Rheinbot was the author of the plot
against his own life. 1t is thought
that he had schemed thus to retrieve
his failing fortune and stave off his
retirement, it having been decided
upon in official circles to relieve him
from duty.
Rheinbot, at the time the alleged
attempt was made, was following the
usual foot path on rough narrow
alley. The bomb exploded in man.
ner highly suspicious. Pieces were
picked up to show it had been more
than an immitation and perfectly
harmless. The original theory was
that the bomb would not go off be-
cause the dynamite was frozen. Now
the police explain it was a fuse bomb
and that the social revolutionists had
discarded these missiles long ago. Re-
garding the shooting of his assailant,
while he was being held by a police
man, it is asserted that the bomb
thrower did not have revolver, that
he fired at no one, and the general is
alleged to have shot him to get rid of
him.

this the boy king of Spain seems to
have his share. He keeps the dried

rather than TO be content with the mere

unpopular cabinet from power, though
at the time it was said that his reason
for doing so was pique at the objection
of the prime minister TO the royal auto
