On the Very Top OF PopOcatapetI? 4?

The frequency with which Popocata-
petl is assembled continues TO astonish a
respectful world. just how many times
this feat has been accomplished in the
past We do not undertake to say. Ger
tainly the achievement is OF abundant
record. IL we may trust the press re-
ports almost any one can run up to the
top Of PopOcatapetl, take a look around
and then return in the best of spirits to
lunch at Amecameca and speak con-
temptuously of "the guides" who were
afraid to follow. At regular and not too
distant intervals we have read about
these triumphs of adventure during the
last thirty years, and by a curious coin
cidence there is almost always heroine,
not hero, in the tale.
Popocatapetl is trifie more than sixty
miles from the Zocalo Park in the City
of Mexico. From the terraces of Sacro-
monte, which crouches at its majestic
base, one can see the smoking crater and
watch the pack trains bringing down
their freights of sulphur. 1t is easy
enough to reach this crater-which is in
the side Of the mountain and not at it's
summit-and not only workmen but
sightseers do it every day. As matter
of fact, until General OcHoA, the former
owner OF the volcano, sold it to foreign
syndicate quite recently hundreds Of
persons were engaged in that very occu-
patton and nobody to our knowledge has
ever regarded it as iavolving any des-

rlck's COatsleeye.
THE SUN presents its compliments to
the Hon. MYRoN T. HERRICK Of Ohio and
congratulates him upon the now proven
accuracy of the formerly almost incred-
ible statement from him which this news
paper had the privilege Of printing about
ive months ago:
II would not have you inter that am opposed
20 sending deleg alton 10 the next national con-
ventlon from Ohio for TAFT. on the contrary. l
am Iuslngl and shall continue to use all my lnnu-
enee for the selection Of a Taft delegation"
ContempOraneous information satisfies
us that at the present time Ex-Governor
HERRICK is living up 70 that most
magnanitnous il not completely gram
matical declaration. There Is no reser-
walton in this enthusiasm, no behind
thought in his advocacy Of TAFT, no
supineness in his attitude. The candid
outlines of Mr.. HERRICK's tailormade
garments indicate the absence Of any
edged instrument in concealment any
where about his person.
We maintain that in view of what the
Hon. MYRoN T. HERRICK suffered at the
hands Of the Hon. WILLIAM H. TAFT in
the Ohio campaign Of 1905 this behavior
ON his part is more than Christian.
IL takes him out Of the ruck Of ordinary
Ohio politicians and places him high in
the list Of the celebrated practitioners of
the Golden Rule, the doers of good for
evil, the turner's of the unsmitten cheek.
Before he gets through il would not be
surprising if HERRICKs name led all the
rest of those whose names are writ be-
cause they love their fellow men.
But will the Hon. MYRoN T. HERRICK
ever succeed in inspiring his multitudin-
GUS friends and followers in Ohio with his
own splendid spirit of political humility
and Christian forgiveness?

JAPS ATTACK U. S. SOLDIERS.
Four Marines Have Narrow Escape
From Mob.

Toxic, Japan-While the United
States cruiser Chattanooga was at
Hakodate, or her way here from
V~ladivostok, four of her men had a
thrilling experience and a narrow es-
cape from serious injury at the hands
Of a Japanese mob.
In a dispute over prices one of the
American sailors struck a Japanese
shopkeeper. A mob was quickly
formed, armed with clubs, and started
after the assailant and his three COM
panions. Two of the sailors we're
forced to jump from the dock and
swim to a sampan. The others were
rescued by the police, who took them
aboard the ship.
Investigation by the ships officers
showed that the attack upon the store
keeper by the sailor was unprovoked,
and the Japanese were exonerated.
The Chattanooga's visit to Yokoha-
ma has been marked by the usual ex-
change of calls with Japanese officials.
Full shore leave has been given to the
cruisers men, and there were no un.
toward occurrences there.

To Probe Frisco Condition.

New York-Aikujiro Ishii, the di-
rector of the commercial bureau
of the Japanese foreign office, who
was involved in the anti-Japanese riots
at Vancouver, came to this country
to investigate and report on the re,
CEN ~anti-Japanese demonstrations in
San Francisco.
While this was given out as the spe-
cific object of his visit, it is generally
understood that his mission was to
make a thorough study of the whole
Japanese question in this country and
to ascertain the cause and extent of
whatever prejudice may exist against
the Japanese. He spent some time in
San Francisco, and, after travelling
through the country, went to British
Columbia, where the conditions arising
from the recent inflow of Japanese and
Hindus into the Northwest has caused
a serious disturbance of labor condi-
tons.

The mob included 60 men on horse

he might remain ashore all night dur

men while in the vicinity of New

Tire Ishii, chief of the bureau OF for
eign and head of the Jap

buro Kisamldzu both of Seattle, were
the central figures. A number of per-

hands of a frenzied mob. Baron Jahii
and Consul Sisamidzu finally made
their escape through the mob and the

With a commo impulse the mob
surged to the water front and as o
as the Japanese came down the gang

Seven or eight of the Japanese were
unceremoniously picked up and thrown
into the Burrad inlet.
Still further rioting occurred when
