San Francisco,

The investigation of the latest attack on
unoffending Japanese in San Francisco
should be thorough and unsparing. All
authorities. city state and national, should
help. .Hoodlums and grafters have had the
town in their clutches 50 long it may be
difficult to reach the guilty in this matter,
but every effort toward that end should be
made. Undoubtedly there are men who to
cover their tracks or direct attention from
local abuses would be glad to bring on COM
phcations with foreign power; and as
saults on Japanese may seem the very
trick to them. But they will not succeed.
Japan understands not only the represent
ative American temper toward her people,
but also our present difficulties in San
Francisco with respect to our own domes-
tic affairs, and that in the corrections that
are coming she will share along with US.

Jealous of Rotha

The prime minister OF Victoria Australia.
in a recent speech in England. remarked
according to the printed accounts:
Gen. Botha came to England to shake
hands with you over the graves of your
dead relatives and friends. You cheered
and congratulated him. In my country
we should not have shouted ourselves hoarse
and waved handkerchiefs at him
Nothing that occurred during the recent
gathering of the British colonial administra-
tors IN London so greatly impressed the
world with the latter-day spirit of progress
sve Englshmen as the reception accorded
to Gen. BOtha. Little Englanders and i'm
peria!lstS alike cheered him. The greatest
men of the government, and of the opposi-
ton. found pleasure in his company He
was interviewed on all sides-and every
one found that he had something direct
and suggestive to say. He was easily the
lion of the day. and he bore himself
throughout the experience with a dignity
and mvdesty which proved his worthiness
OF such hOuors.
This treatment of the men who did more
than any other to humble the British arms
IN Sou africa during the Boer war be-
spoke .. IL Of forgiveness and appreci-
alton "A r If carried throughout the Brit
ish administration Of the colonies will
greatly strengthen the ties that bind the
distant parts Of the empire to the mother
country. Many Euglishmen remember dis
tirCtly that there was some doubt about the
British rGht OF suZerainty over the Boer
states There some today who do not
fully agree that the coercion policy of the
Salisbury government was altogether just
Now that the appeal to arms has sue
Ceeded. and the Beers are destroyed as an
independent entity. and absorbed into the
British colonial system, they feel that il is
the wisest policy to accord TO them the
fairest possible treatment. and to render
their position in the empire one of comfort
and dignity.
Australians apparent jealousy, as voiced
by the premier of Victoria is not calculated
To enhance the prestige of that colony at
home. or to win friends. Judging from
some reports of the state of affairs in Aus
trdlia, where state socialism has been al
lowed To develop to vcritably riotous ex-
tent. there is need in that quarter of Just
such mcu as Gen. Botha. and, perhaps. if
the emergency in Australia had produced
such a man, he would have been given as
hearty d cheer and as sincere a welcome to
England the Boer warrior statesman has
received. Englshmen love a good fighter,
and they have little use for wilmer The
premier OF Victoria Will probably regret his
speech.

Mrs. Mckinley.

A life of unusual beauty. sweetness, SIM
plicity and great public usefulness came to
a close al Canton yesterday. OF its beauty
there are a thousand testimonials. OF it's
sweetness and simplicity all are aware
who have read the story of the woman and
her domestic lot. Only of it's great public
usefulness is a word of explanation neces-
sary.
1t has been given to many women to sig
naly aid their husbands in public life
History mentions numerous edifying and
Illuminating instances. Some with brilliant
intellectual gifts have been their husbands
best cOunseiors. Others. strong in the purely
domestic gifts and .virIueS. have made their
firesides Ravens of rest and inspiration for
men veXed and faded with the cares of Of
flee. Each in her own way has done so
much that true balancing of accounts
would show how large part women have
contributed to achievements ordinarily APP
praised wholly outside their sphere.
In the case of Mrs. Mckinley we have
something unlike anything that has gone
before. The hardest of fates had early
been hers. Loss of children first, and loss
of health afterward. broke her spirit and
incapacitated her for all activities She
could but turn in her helplessness to her
husband for all the attentions it was in his
nature and power to bestow, and then re-
ward them, as she did, with an apprecia-
ton which at once strengthened and glori-
fled his character.
Mr.. Mckinley, in any circumstances,
would have been strong man of the finest
impulses and performances. His balance
was all but perfect. His charity of view
was large and unfailing. His patience was
something extraordinary in the case of
man charged with the settlement of many
vexing public questions. But that even so
superior a man was made the better and
more rounded by the calls made upon him
at his own hearth, and to which he re-
sponded with constantly increasing devo-
ton, is certain. His home life acted upon
his public life. The statesman was the
kindier and more sympa thetic for the chaS-
tening of the man. He gave to the country,
as to the invalid wife, the full fruits of
nature sobered and softened by the loftiest
sense of duty and devotion.
And SC ii is true that Mrs. Mckinley in
the trials of her life, which so greatly de-
veloped the shining qualities of her hus-
band, and which she sustained under his
support with such admirable resignation,
was the instrument of a great public use
fulness. She also served who could only sit
and suffer

An American Chinese Reformer

An Interesting international aspect is
given 10 the mysterious disappearance of
Edward BoeCk. a Jewel broker, by late
disclosures. Mr.. Boeck. it appears. had
cut a wide swath in New York. and his
departure for places unknown was deeply
mourned by a host OF people. Now IL
is claimed that Boeck was acting in behalf
of the Chinese reform party and assent bling
funds for a great revolt against the en-
press dOwageT. His plan, ii Is said. was TO
return to China at the psychological mo-
ment. raise the standard of rebellion and
fight To finish for the establishment OF a
new regime. which. with him as the power
he hind the throne, should reward its allies
IN this country by granting rich mining
ana railroad concessions. One report is
that Boeck had enlisted the sympathetic
interest of some Of the copper magnates
who were TO be given mining privileges esti-
mated TO be worth at least 500 100000
According to this tale, Boeck about three
months ago received word that the empress
