Cooled His Heels Three Days
in Harriman'S Office

Edwin Lefevre's character sketch
of Hartman in the June Am0ioaN
Magazine is lively reading. Harri-
man is a great subject, and Lefevre,
by reason of his long experience as a
reporter in Wall Street, has been able
to get hold of a mass of new and
Illuminating facts
One of the interesting stories told
is the following:
Hartman tactlessness probably is
the most conspicuous of his shortcom-
ings-leaying aside all ethical consid-
erations. For instance, the story of
Horace Burt's resignation as presi-
dent of the Union Pacific. AS chair
man of the Executive Committee
Hartman saw no essential difference
between the president and one of the
clerks. Burt was summoned to New
York to be told plainly that his bus
mess in the future should be merely
to carryout Harriman's orders, Burt
came, called at Harriman's office and
was told to wait. He waited all day.
He waited all the next day. On the
third day he still waited to see Harri-
man. Clerks visitors, friends, all went
in and spoke to Hartman, who still
sent out word for Burt to wait
until the Chairman of the Executive
Committee was ready to see the in
significant president of the road.
Than Burt resigned. Hartman
avoided further friction by taking the
job himself.

The Modernized Ancient Egypt

National Home Journal:
Lord Cromer, the maker and ruler
of modern Egypt, has resigned his
post of plenipotentiary for Great
Britain, and is succeeded by Sir Eden
Girst. The frequent changes in dip
lomatic circles is seldom referred to
on this page, but more than passing
comment is due to Lord Cromer, as
he has proved himself one of the con-
structive geniuses of the age. Under
his administration, Egypt has
increased her population from less
than 1000, 900 to more than 10, OOO, 900.
The tonnage of the port of Alexandria
has grown from $780, 900 to 2,270, 900.
He mas proved himself a man of great
wisdom and genius. and in the sharp
rivalry between France and England,
France has been left far in the rear;
in fact, he fought all Europe, and won.
1t was during the Spanish-American
Var that Spain broke the rules of
neutrality in the Suez Camel by TAX
ing in coal at Port Said, but Lord
Cromer, who owed it to the world to
see that the Camel was free from all
acts of warfare, forbade the ship
ment, and compelled the Spanish
cruisers to replace the coal which
had been taken at Port Said, and this
without show of force. He was con-
nected with the Egyptian govern
ment most of the time since 1877.
He built canals cleaned out thegreat
cities, established quite a number of
schools, and modernized Egypt in vari-
Gus directions.

Japan and San Francisco Again.

darper's Weekly.
Again a slight outbHrst has alarmed
Japan, and caused doubts as to the
iriendliness of the labor element Of
the Pacific coast to the japanese who
dwell there In the course Of some
iiotlng a San Francisco mob OF street
car strikers made an attack on q
j pAnese restaurant and bath hoase,
and destroyed some property. There.
is NJ evidence to show whether the
first assault was upon property because
it belonged to Japanese or simply be-.
cause 1t was property. But it seems
that the %bystanders were reused to
ctlve participation by their race
pr JUDGES. Immediately there was
agitation or the part Of the Japanese
here and at Toxic. Ambassador Aoki
made representations TO Seoreta y
Root, and Secretary Root eoumuni-
Gated with Governor Gdllett The
Japanese government, after listening
to some excited remarks By representa-
bives of the populace, exhibited its
usual ealmness. 1t is unfortunate that
C~aliiornians, or indeed the citizens U

degree, should so often threaten the

be judged from the reports that come
East, she is about as neal a state of

its shops and banks open. At this
writing she has on her bands four
strikes-at telephone, laundry, iroA and

street-car strike has been attended witt
