George KEENAN,, who has been 30 long
associated IN tine public mind with his
femous Russian investigations, seems to
find conditions In his own country fully
as interesting as those Of the Siberian
prisons. In the September MeCmre's
he describes the fight for reform in San
Francisco which lately eliminated in
the dramatic conviction Of Mayor
Seamita. The article, which Is written
with all Of Mr.. Kennan's distinction
Of style and directness Of statement, is
a remarkable story Of municipal rotten
ness. 1t Is perhaps in the nature Of
San Francisco to be picturesque, both
in her virtues and in her departures
from virtue; and certainly mans ac-
count Of the looting that went on under
the protection Of corrupt police force
after the San Francisco earthquake,
when the thieves paid certain sum
every month for a specified area, and
then went with men and wagons and
dug out what loot they could find
MI Kennon's story Of the ring, Of the
unheard.of conditions which it organized
