HATCHET MEN THKE UP AR Warring Chinese Tongs ati Los Angeles Prepare | for Strife. { Highbinders Arrive From San| Francisco to Assist the Factions. Quarrel Betw en the Sse Yup andi Sam Yup Companies Breaks Out Anew:. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Jan. A war of extermination among the almond-eyed | residents of Chinatown seemsimminent. | The disturving and often disastrous boy- | cott has been declared and trouble is liable | to occur at almost any moment. As usual, the Bing Kung Tong and the Hop Sing Tong, the highbinder societies, are at the bottom of the trouble and are eager | 1o kill. The old-time dispute between the See | Yup and the Sam Yup companies is ex- pected to break out again. The former company is the stronger in Los Augflcs‘ and has the greater number of stores, | while the Sam Yaps have larger stores | than the rival institution, and in conse- quence make a bid for trade by cutting | prices. The See Yups have declared a boyeott on the Sam Yup stores and piaced | spotiers at the entrances to learn which of | the See Yup members patronize the for- | bidden places. Whenever an offender s | discovered he is tuken to a room in some | sequestered house and there tried, fined | his property confiscated. In many the purchases have been tched from the See Yup members on | leaving the boycotted stores. About every six months this trouble begins | afresh. During the last row Wong Chee | was killed. But the highbinders do not like this. They have steadily been working to arouse the old-time jealousy between the two companies, for killing Chinamen is their | profession, but their efforts would not | have been accompanied by success had it not been for outside influences. The same conditions exist ail over the coast. The See Yup faction in San Francisco enliv- ened things by murdering one of the ipals recently. uong Sam and Ah Huey, two of the | otorious highbinders of San Krancisco, ved in Los Angeles yesterday. Fully ozen more desperadoes are expected | on to assist them in conducting their svstem of spotting, despoiling and mur- dering. The Sam Yups have not been en- | tirely idle. I n to arming them- | s they have asked t some of the | northern highbinders from their own fac- | tion be sent here to help cope with their unscrupul opponents. An attempt | was_m| recently by Ah Len, a high- | of the Hop Sing tong, to blackmail | Wong Chung, a lottery dealer, out of a sum of money, but it failed. D - | CHILOREN AT THE EXPOSITIUIV.i Gates of the . Homs Products Fair Opened to Pupils of the Fublic | Schools. | LOS ANGELES Jan. 23.—The | children of this cf ve had a glorious ime at Hazard's Pavilion here to-day. The time at the Home Products Exhibi- | tion was given up to the public schools. | During the morning sixteen pupils from the commercial departmentot the | High School rangea themselves at their | desks on the stage and went through | some rapid calculations and = business arithmetic, under the supervision of John | H. Francis. Then followed bookkeeping, | under Milton Carlson. One thousand figures were written in five minutes and | fortv seconds. The work was all very | legible and accurate, and the penman- | ship of the students was almost perfect. | The shorthand and typewriting exhibi- tions followed and were highly creditable | 10 the tutors and pupils. Music was sup- plied by the High School orchestra. | The drawing dispiay, under C. M. | Bradfield, was a noteworthy feature. The | walls of one entire room are covered with drawings by pupils from the first to the ninth grades. The booth is devoted to Hign School work. The High .School are spiendid and of a more ad- haracter, but along different lin Here perspective drawing is given | attention.

B e S SIMPSON TABERNACLES DEBT. | | | | The Magnificent Edifico May Be Sold at | LOS ANGELES, CaL, Jan. 23.—The | great Simpson Tabernacle (Methodist | Episcopal), one of the finest church | edifices on the Pacific Coast, with Rev. C. C. McLean, “‘the Los Angeles Parkhurst,” as pastor, is about to pass under the hammer and be sold to satisfy a mortgage of 000 beld in Philadelphia. This | splendid building is a product of the hoom | days in this city. It has been more or | less embarrassed since the collapse of the boom. It was built at a cost of $90,000, | obtained largely through subscriptions by | local gentlemen who were supposed to be | making fortunes ten years ago. When the slump came mary found themselves unable to meet their subscriptions, and then arose the necessity of borrowing $26,000. impson Tabernacle is said to be the larges: Methodist auditorium in the world and the largest church edifice of any de- nomination on the Pacific Coast. | The amount tuat must be raised is $6006° with which to pay interest and a small floating indebtedness. The trustees pro- pose to raise this sunt at once, if possible, by popular subseription. iaggei nan Is Insane, . CaL, Jan 23.—The taking of evidence in the Barthelman murder case was concluded to-day in Judge Smitn’s court. A number of wit- nesses were examined as to the defend- ant’s sanity. Dr. Fales, a specialist on in- sanity, testified after having a hypothetical question read to him that at the time of the murder Bartheiman was of sound mind, responsible for his acts and was ca- pable of distinguishing right from wrong.

Lacey Sues to Recover Property She Had Deeded to Her Husband. SAN JOSE, CaL., Jan. 23.—Flora A. Lacey to-day began suit against Leroy D. Lacey, her husband, to compel him to deed to her the family home on South Second street, which she alleges is simply being held in trust for her by Lacey. The property is valued at about $3000. About a week ago Mrs. Lacey sued her husband for divorce on the ground of de- sertion. This morning the divorce suit was dismissed at the request of plaintiff, who at once filed the suit to obtain pos- Tu the complaint Mrs. Lacey alleges thbat av the time of heir marriage Lacey possessed nothing, while sne was the owner of a ranchin Monterey County. She desired to have a home in this and mortgaged the Monterey prop- for $1500. With this she purchased a rt | erty lot in the Leddy Tract, and built a house, expending §2285 in making a home. Lacey was very proud, and asked his wife 1o place the property in his name, so he would not be humiliated, and his friends would Dot make unpleasant comments on his family affairs and relations, as-would be the case if the property was in her pame. Mrs. Lacey consented to this, and deeded the prop-rty to ber husband, with the understanding that he was to hold it in trust, and deed it back to her any time she desired. On January 14, 1897, Mrs. Lacey says, her husband deserted her, and since then he has threatened to dispose of the prop- erty. The court isaskea to prevent Lacey from selling or mortzaging the property, and to declare it held in trust and compel a reconveyance of it to her. —— Will Entertain Endeavovers.

The forencon was spent at the United States Experimental Station, just south of town, where Professor Loughridge delivered a practical talk on “Treatment of Alkali Soils.” The session this afternoon was an_espe- cially interesting one, taking part in the rogramme being Elias Galliup, Professor n\;ghridgm N.

B. Hinkle, charged with misdemeanor in refusing to pay license under a recently passed city ordinance, the jury disagreed.

Eaker’s Withdrawal the Only Inci- dent of the Day at O’'ympia BOISE, Ipamo, Jan. 23.—In the Sena- torial ballot to-day the result was: Clagett (Pop.) 28, DuBois (silver R.) 26, Nelson (Pop.) 13, Rogers (Pop.) 2. 2 Many of the Clagett supporters are be- coming tired of voting day after day for a candidate on whose behalf it seems im- possible to enlist the Democratic vote, without which he cannot be elected. Clagett had {a majority, however, 1n the Populist caucus, although there were eleven dissenting votes, and it1s claimed that he cannot hold these much longer, and that they will zo to Du Bois in suffi- cient numbers to elect him unless an agreement is speedilv arrived at by the Populists and Democrats. The Populists, 1t is claimed, would go to Lewis at once if the Governor would agree, in the case of Lewis’ election, to appoint a Populist to succeed Lewis as Secretary of State, but there is not much show of a Democratic Governor making such a contract. S DARK HORSE MAY APPEAR. Thatcher and Henderson Make No Gains in Uath, SALT LAKE, Uran, Jan. 23.—Four bal- lots were taken in the Utah Senatorial contest to-day. The first resulted: Thatcher 23, Henderson 19, Rawlins 14, all Democrats; Bennett, Republican, 3; scat- tering 4, On the second Thatcher gained one from Rawlins. The third and fourth ballots were repetitions of the first, except that Rawlins gained one of the scattering votes, making his total 15. The Rawlins men wanted to go on bal- { loting, but the Thatcher and Henderson supporters were afraid, and a motion to adjourn until Mbnday was carried by their votes. It'seems as though Thatcher and Henderson had vpolied thegr full strength, and it is expected by somfe that on Monday Rawlins will draw largely from botn, or more likeiy that some aark horse appear, probably Bowers or McCune. S No Change at Olympia, OLYMPIA, Wasn., Jan. 23.—The tenth ballot to-day resulted: Turner 24, Cline 35, Squire 5, Dani:ls 6, Denny 23, Winsor 7, absent 7, scattering 3. There was no material change in the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth ballots, and the Legisla- ture then adjourned. Baker's withdrawal was the.only interesting incident of the day. OREGON CONVICLS CTORY. Objected to Being Pardoned ana Won Hix Cave in Court. PORTLAND, Or., 23. — George Betts, alias Johu Bingham, wanted in Chicago for complicity in & murder, will remain in this city. The habeas corpus proceedings came to an abrupt end this evening, when Judge Sears decided that Betts did not have to accept the pardon granted by the Governor unless he wanted | to. The prisoner therenpon declined the pardon and this made the exiradition warrant ineffective. One of the many complications is that Betts is not serving his sentence, as his case is on appeal to the Supreme Court. Betts prefers a short term for burglary ‘o a longer one for murder. —— Fire at Los Gatos. LOS GATOS, CAL, Jan. 23.—A fire this afternoon broke out under J. W. Hunt & Sons’ bakery and restaurant on Main street, in the center of town. After two nours’ hard work by the two volunteer fire companies, the b'aze was got under control. J. W. Hunt & Sons lost their restaurant, valued at $700, and bakery, valued at §500. Mrs. T. H. Williams’ mil- Jinery-store and residence adjoining were badly damagad by smoke and water. Her loss is $2000. A young man named Lemon was badly cut on the wrist by an ax in the hands of one of the firemen who was chopping into a building. —_—— Santa Ana to Chynowetl SANTA ANA, Can, Jan. 25.—In re- sponse to cail a public meeting was held here to-night to discuss the merits of Assemblyman H.'W. Chynoweth’s bill No. 257 reducing salaries of officials” in' counties of the twenty-fourth class, After a long discussion, a motion to indorse the bill was defeatdd by a large majority, and a motion to request Mr. Chynoweth not 1o urge 1ts pas-age was carried.” The general teeling was that the bill is in- consistent and not founded on_knowledge of the situation of county officials, A STl San Luis Kanch sccident. SAN LUIS OBISPO, Car., Jan. 23.— Mrs. George Richmond, who lives on a ranch about twenty-four miles from here, came near being instantly killed this morning while driving a gang-plow. The pole of the plow broke and the horses ran away. She fell under the plow and the shares cut a deep gash from the center of her head to her left eve.

Body Found Near Astoria. ASTORIA, Or, Jan. 23.—The body of Captain Davis of the British ship Del- cairnie, who disappeared on the night of Degcember 14, was found to-day on the beach just within the mouth of the Co- lumbia River by the Fort Stevens life- saving crew. It will not be possible to tell until aiter the inquest whether his death was due to foul play or not. CAREFUL CABINET MAKING. Many Prominent Gentlemen Under Con- sideration, but No Further Selec- tions Are Made. CANTON, Onro, May 23.—J. H. Brig- bham of Ohio, who has frequently been mentioned in connection with the position of Secretary of Agriculture, called on the President-eiect to-day and discussed the | situation with nim. To the correspond- | ent of the United Associated Presses Mr. Brigham said: “I have not been tendered a Cabinet portfclio, but Major McKinley assures me my name is under consideration, and, I trust, favorably.” “Will not the fact that Ohio has one representative in the Cabinet filllng the most important place in that body, pre- vent your appointment?” was asked. “Not necessanly,” answered Mr. Brig- ham. “Iam supported by the strong in- dorsements of the State and National granges. My appointment to the Cabinet would not be a State matter, It would be made on National lines.” 2% The chances are, however, that Ohio will not have more than one place 1n the Cabinet, though it s possible Colonel Brigham may be offered the post of As- sistant Secretary of Agriculture. £ Notwithstanding all that has been said about tne reported tender of a Oabinet portfolio to Lyman J. Gage of Chifago, it «an be positively announced that nobody has been ssked to accept the Treasury portfolio. The President-elect holds Mr. age in high esteem, and hss, doubtless, asked some of his friends to quietly ascer- tain whether Mr. Gage would be In a position to go into-the Cabinet if invited. This does not mean that he has been or will be tendered & Cabinet position, but that he is under favorable consideration. Ex-Secretary Fairbanks, the commis- sion mun W. T. Durban and Judze Monk of Indiana paia their respectsto Major McKinley fo-day. The subject of Indiana patronage was discussed. Chairman John Goudy of the Indiana Republican State Committee. is said to be under cousidera- tion for appointment as Consul-General to Paris and will have the indorsement of Senator Fairbanks, Senator Carter of Montana and Senator Wilson of Washington cailed on Major McKinley to-day to talk about some ap- pointments in the far West. The report which reached here from the East to-day to the effect that Robert P. Porter has been promised the appoint- ment of Minister to Japan is without foun- dation. The Japanese mission has not been disposed of, and an effort1s being made by the friends of the incumbent to secure his retention, but it will doubtless be unsuccessiul. g Burton’s Empty Honor. TOPEKA, Kax Jun. 23.—J. Halph- Burton of Abilene is the choice of the Re- publican members of the Kansas Legisla. ture for the Senate. He was nominated at a caucus to-night for the empty honor 1ngalls’ supporters refused to participate in the caucus, and Burton was nominated on the third ballot. Scarcely enough members were present to constitute a majority. ROBINSON'S CREED DISTURBS TACOMA Causes Factional Strife in the First Baptist Church. Pastor Harriman Resigns and Many of the “Come-Outers” Withdraw. Doctrines cf the Visiting Ev ngelist | Not in Faver With the « Majority. TACOMA, Wasxu., Jan. 23.—The trouble which bas been brewing among the mem- bers of the First Baptist Church since the arrival of Rev. Peter Robinson from Cal- ifornia a week ago and the introduction of his doctrine of sanctification culminated last evening in the announcement by the pastor, Mr. Harriman, that he would not preach in the church until the “demons have been removed from the members of his congregation.”” A meeting of the pulpit committes of the church was held this morning in the office of Deacon Cavender for the purpose of filling the vacant pulpit of the church, and an in- vitation was extended to Rey. C. Spurgeon Medhurst, who will oceupy the pulpit to- morrow. The trouble which has now reached sucb an acute stage was caused, itis said by the most prominent members of the con- gregation, by the doctrines which bave been advocated by the Rev. Mr. Robin- son. About a score of members have taken kindly to thenew ideas, and among them is the pastor, Mr. Harriman, and these have been hoiding nightly meetings in the church. At the conclusion of the regular services | last evening the pastor requested those who did not concur in the new doctrines to leave the church and atlow the follow- ers of the Rev. Mr. Robiznson to hold their regular after-meeting undisturbed by the presence of the unbelievers. As the ma- jority of the members did not seem to take kindly to the idea of being ordered from their own church, the pastor made the declaration that the meetings would be continued in a different place. It is thought by many that the pro- longed strain of the recent meetings has been too great for the pastor and that mental trouble will ensue unless he takes a rest. However, his determination to follow the teachings of the Rev. Mr. Rob- inson cannot be shaken, and if a new cbureh is organized by the “come-outers’’ it is expected he will minister to its spirit- ual wants. A number of prominent members ac- cepted Rev. Mr. Harriman’s invitation last night and leit the church. After this Mr. Harriman turned his back to the audience and kneceled at the pulpit. In this position he remained the entire evening. When reporters entered church long after night he was still in_the same position, his head bowed in silent prayer, while down in the auditorium were about twenty of the followers of Rev. Mr. Robinson’s creed laughing, crying | and praying at the same time. The iatter base their sanctification doc- trine upon two passages of scripture. One of these, from Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, is: Be ye filled with the spirit. . The other, from Paul’s Evistle to the Thessalonians, is: For this is the will of God. ever your sancti- &L;x;‘liuu, that ye should abstain from fornica- It seems that Mr. Harriman bas been somewhat in doubt what course he should ursue, and for nearly two weeks he has een fasting and praying. One week of this time he spent at his home, denying himself to friends and to members of his congregation until he should again re- ceive the holy spirit. Several nights ago he again appeared at evening meetings and assisted the ‘‘come-outers.” Rev. My. Robinson 1s here on his way fo the Chinkse mission field, where he will represent the California Christian Alli- ance Society A New Debutante. Miss Ethel Isabel Smith, violinist and so- prano, snnounces a concert for February. Miss Smith has returned from Germany, where she studied under Herr Profess r Walter of the Hock Schule in Munich.

Crops of Piumage Added to the . Harvest of His Eagle Ranch. Preparing a Tract of Land for the Reception of the African Birds. SAN LUIS OBISPO, CaL.,Jan. 23.—J. H. von Schroeder is about to embark in a new venture. A tract recently added to his famous Eagle ranch, twenty miles from this city, is to be stocked with os- triches. The Baron is going into the os- trich-raising industry on an extensive scale, and the_enterprise will be watched with interest by rauchers uereabouts. Baron von Schroeder has taken out a patent on lots 5 to 8, in Township 29, and ihis land will be used for the farm. Itis admirably located in the footbills of the Santa Lucia Mountains, and there is suffi- cient level and rollin: land to makea grand home from the African bird. Large pens and sheds are to be built. The pens will be fenced with a strong wire netting about seven feet high. In that section there is an abundance of grass, leaves and acorns, which constitute the principal food of the large bipeds. Baron von Schroeder has a beautiful estate and is the owner of the largest prune orchard in the world. He is the right kind of a man to commence the new industry, as he has made a success of every experiment he tried on the Eagle ranch and the people hope his new ven- ture will turn out as we!l. The new farm is located at the west end of the ranch and is about five miles from Santa Margarita. People who are in this city from Los Angeles say there is no reason why the ostrich-ratsing industry should not pay as well as it does at Ananeim and Los Angeles, for the conditions here are greatly initsfavor. Thework of preparing the land for the reception of the bird will soon be commenced, aud no doubt many tourists who visit this part of the State will make a trip to the new farm to see the ostrich herds, The bipeds will be shipped to the piace when it is in condition to receive them. The people here are well pleased to hear of the Baron’s enterprise, as it will be a standing advertisement of the congenial climale and resources of this county. FOUR TEN-ROUND BOUTS. } Some Lvely Sparrirg at the Entertain- ment of the New York Athletic Club. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 23.—Four ten- round bouts were provided by the New York Atnletic Club at their boxing enter- | tainment, which was heid in the gymna- sium of the club to-night. Sam Tonquins of Astoria and James Collier of Rockaway Beach quit after three rounds of brisk fighting. James Smith of California and James Wilson of Jersey City sparred seven rounds. Smith was outsparred. Jack Edward of Philadelphia scored a clean knockout in the nine-round mill with Jake Aronson. The principal bout was a ten-round | affair at 116 pounds between Tommy White of Cnicaco and Jack Skelly of Brooklyn. Skeliy was no match for the clever Chicagoan, and White kept poking | rights in at will. Skelly became very groggy and began_clinching to avoid punishment, while White kept pounding him with both hand~ Skelly’s eye was nearly closed when the beli rang. Skelly rallied in the fourth and sent a right and left swing for the neck, but White punched him badly toward the close. In the fifth round, White floored his man with a right swing, and Skelly was counted out. ’Eha round lasted one minute and six seconds. Song o AHADOW M BER WINS, Defeats Professor Bosworth for the Championship of Canada. TORONTO, OxTaR0, Jan, 23—The Shadow Maber-Bosworth twenty-round fight for the championship of Canada came off at the Princess Theater to-night before a crowded house, and terminated at the end of the fifteenth round with the Toronto Athletic Club instructor practi. cally knocked out. The fight was a hard one, and although the Australian had the best of it in reach and height, he had a difficult problem to solye in Bosworth, who was formerly Fitz- simmons’ snarring partner. Maber weighed in 154, Bosworth weighing 161. The veteran Jem Mace looked after Mabsr and Jack Hanley was in Bosworth’s cor- ner. % In the first three rounds honors were about even, but after that Maber’s agility and cleverness kept the pro.essor guessing all the time. In the fifteenth round Ma- ber landed a stunning lelt hook on the chin, which nearly put Bosworth through the ropes, just as the bell rang. He was unable to continue and Maber got the de- cision. o Racing at New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan. 23.—Seven fur- longs, Nina Louise won, imp. Paladin second, Parmesan third. Time, 1:20%.
