Griffin’s recent pur- chase, Greyhurst, opened a strong 6105 fayorite, but such a stiff play went 1o on Stentor that the iriends of the gray g?]d' ing were able to get 8 to5 for their money. Loulou R, with # “catch” of ninety-three pounds, and *Paffle”’ Thompson in the | saddle, looked dangerous and the mare was well supported at fours. Of the others Personne was the most fancied.

The Examiner’s Silly Story About the Arrest of See Yups in China May Have Serious Results—The Chronicle in a Facetious Vein Dissects the Latest Creelman Yarn. . The Examiner yesterday insisted that the fake story about the action of the Chinese Government at Peking a few hours after the murder of “'Little Pete” in this city was true. A more palpable fake and a more brazen reiteration have never been presented by the *‘monaroh of the fakers.” “Litile Pete” was murdered Saturday night. The Examiner said on the Mon- day morning following that at 6 o’clock on the morning of Sunday “The Chinese Consul in this city telegraphed the facts of the murder to the Minister at Washing- ton,” and that ‘‘early in the afternoon word came back that in China every im- mediate relative of the local presidentana secretary of the See Yups was under arrest.” Bearing in mind that at64. a. in San Francisco the time is 9:45 P. M. in China, the palpable fake at once becomes appar- ent. Allowing tbat it took one hour for the transmission of the message to the Chinese Minister at Washington and for bim to get his message under way for Canton, and another hour to get th€news to Canton, and it appears plain that it was then within fifteen minutes of midnight. The Governor of Canton then had to rouse the Emperor, who must have heard the news at 1 A. M. or thereabouts it there - was no delay. To get word back to San Francisco early Sundav afternoon that the relatives of the See Yup officials had all . been arrested was lively work. Roused at ., : P 5 : : , 14 M. it was necessar_\'}for the Emperor to Dial Showing the Difference of Time in the Different Longitudes. have all his arrests made ana the news made up for transmission to San Francisco by 5:45 the next morning, allowing two hours’ time to get the news through, and estimating 2 p. M. San Francisco time as not too early to fit the description of early in the afternoon. Therefore, from 1 A. M. t0 5:45 A. M., Peking time, the Emperor had to communicate his royal pleasure to the Governor of Canton, and for the Governor and his satellites to hunt all over Canton with dark lanterns for “all the relatives of the president and secretary of the See Yups,” to cast the people, when found, into dungeons and to close up one of the most remarkable trans- actions ever recorded outside of the pages of the veracious author of the tales of Munchausen and the fancies of the ‘“Arabian Nights.” ‘“‘Away over in China,”” said the great fakeron Monday morning, ‘‘that heavy hand has been laid unon the relatives of those suspected of baving a guilty knowledge of the death of ‘Little Pete’; men women and children are already in the dungeons, wondering why they have been haled from their homes, trembling with the dread and apprehensive of the worst.” They had reason to tremble if there was any truth in the Examiner’s yarn, for they were hunted out of bed not earlier than 2 A. M. and ot later than 5 A. M., Canton time, and to make a thorough search for them all and to have found them all would have required the services of an army of winking, blinking and yawning officers. === Itis evident to the most casual thinker that there was no need for any such haste, more than there was need for any such fake story. The people, according to the clocks, must have been ail asleep, and ihere was no reason to suppose that premonitory visions could wake them and send them scurrying into places of hiding befors mornimg. They could just as well have been arrested The Emperor of China Issuing the Warrants for the Arrests, the next forenoon, when they would have been equally unsuspicious of approaching danger, and it is strange that the absurdity of 5 , | the whole proposition did not at once become apparent to ibe faker, whose glib pen was guided only by the dictates of imagination, in entire disregard of paipable facts. *The Emperor of China has reached out to strike,” continued the faker; “to punish the innocent in Peking that there may be peace in the Chinese slums in San Francisco. ‘That is Chinese justice. Whether it will be effective in this far land is a matter for the future to say.” The absurdity of the whole proposition has been already demonstrated. It is not necessary to have the testimony of the Chinese Consul and Vice-Consul in this City that no message was sent out on the Sunday following the *'Little Pete’” murder—the Indeed, the Chinese consular cfficers were appalled by the effrontery of the Examiner fake. The local Vice-Consul, King Owrang, made the following statement on Monday, the day when the Examiner's fake appeared, which ought to be and Is conclusive: “Not only has no telegram been sent by the Consul-General to our Minister at Washington, but no one connected with | this consulate bas told anybody so. In fact, to my certain knowledge no reporter of the Examiner was seen yesterday either NAN Li Hung Chang Arresting the See Yups in China. by the Consul or myseif. Ido not care to draw down the censure of any newspaper on myself or the Consul, but am obliged to correct such glaring misstatements of facts.” The Western Union peopie made it clear, by conclusive figures, that it would have been impossible for the news to bave gone to China und for the respones to have been received in San Franciaco in the prescribed time, adding corroborative proof of the falsity of t he whole story. Yesterday the Examiner, with characteristic brazenness, insisted that its story of last Monday morning was true in the fol. lowing words: “THE CALL denies the truth of the statement that the relatives of the fightine S8eeYups and SamYups are being incarcerated in China. It is hardly necessary for the Examiner to reiterate the statement and add that it is absolutely true. Th e news comes from thoroughly reliable sources.’’ 3 However, evidently not resting easy under the accumulating proof of its gigantic and foolish fake, it tried to justify itself and still further fool the public by asserting that it maintains special correspondents in all parts of the world, spending large sums for their salaries and expenses. In the light of the facts above quoted, the necessity for having these alieged correspondents does not appear, for nothing: that they could ever send as news could begin to rival the productions of the fction department which predominates in the edi- torial rooms of the “‘monarch of the fakers.” Probably nothing *‘nervier” in the way of a wind-up for a fake has been published than the following: “‘Probably there is nothing stranger 1n all the history of government—this pagan monarch moving to bring peace to a Chris- tian city ten thousand miles away, and far across the seas.’’ Probably not ! The Chronicle makes merry with the Examiner’s fake story and THE CALL’s thorough demonstration that it is a faks. Some of the Chronicle’s ideas are worded as follows: “‘In the case of THE CALL the offense is very rank. It seems that the Examiner betore the body of ‘Little Pete’ had grown fairly cold bad the relaiives in China of the local president and secretary of the See Yup clan safely lodged in jail.. Ac- cording to this veracious chronicle an ex-Consul General of China, whose mortal form is in Caba, but whose astral body is pre- sumably here, telegraphs the facts of the murder at 6 A. M. on Sunday to the Chinese Minister at Washington, The latter at once cabled them to Peking. With a promptness hitherto unknown in the official life of China the Goveraor of Peking or the Viceroy ?; (;lnbmvh sent the news tv Li Hung Chang and the Tsung-li-Yamen, while the latter, not stopping for a long breath, carried it to e throne. _“His Majesty, the brother of the sun and moon, ‘ot a hustle on,’ as the saying goes, and the resident families of the See Yup officials were dragged to the waiting cages, whereupon the Minister at Washington was notified. He in turn wired the astral body h ere, and the latter, eight hours aiter he had sent ihe first message, handed the news to the Examiner. What made the romance the more remarkable and interesting was the assumption that the Chinese Emperor and Ministers had done all their work by night. The envoy at Washington got his news, if instanuy, at 9 A. M., Eastern time. At that moment tue clock marked nearly 9 P. M. in Peking. It was, say, 10 P. M. when the Governor of Peking was ptlled out of bed. A return message to San Francisco was then due in six hours, which gave the Emperor and his Cabinet until 4 o’clock 1n the morning to get hold of the S8ee Yup peo- vle and make things warm for them.” MAY CAUSE BLOODSHED. : i LOS ANGELES, CAL., Jan. 27.—The San Francisco Examiner's fake Chinese story of two days ago, having been taken seriously by the leaders of the warring tongs of this city, has stirred up the belligerents to a state of unprecedented fury and is likely to be the immediate cause of bloodshed in the Cbinese quarter. The “monarch of the fakers” was being hawked about Chiratown to-day, and no amount of warning that the story was a mere fake seemed to allay the excitement. It seems that the *‘Heathen Ohinese ” know nothing about fuke journalism. z “I'he incredulous Mongolians seemed to think thut what one newspaper did the otheérs copied or Indorsed, and they could not be swerved from this conviction and it was learned that, generally speaking, this is the prevailing notion about this Iptest st upendous fake in “swift” journalism on the coast. i A Cavr correspondent visited some of the most prominent Chinamen in Chinatown this forenoon in order to get their views upon the subjeet. The first three visited could ‘not sabe,” or at least they claimed they could not, but when approached upon other matters could un derstand all right, The office of a well-known interpreter was visited. The correspondent found him busily engaged in reading up the account oi ‘‘Little Pete’s” killing, as published in the Ex- aminer. In fact, he had copies of all the ieading pavers of San Francisco before him. He was asked what effect, if any, the ac- tion of the Emperor woull have in this country as porttayed in the “Monarch.” effect,” was the reply. *‘There will be a heap more trouble than before.” Do you anticipaie any trouble among your people in Los Angeles?”’ was asked. ’m “afraid so,” he answered. ‘‘Sonie” bad men have come here in the last few days. The boycott trouble is not over, and ‘Little Pete’ had many friends among the SBam Yups. There was a big meeting last night, but I don’t know what was done. It was the Sam Yups that heid the meeting.” Chief Glass stated that trouble is looked for at any moment in Chinatown, but he is prepared to give the warring factions a Warm reception. CHIESE MUST OBE THE LW Chief Crowley’s Drastic Letter to the Consul- General. Firecrackers Must Not Be Ex- pioded During Their New Year. All Violators of the Law in This Respect Will Be Scverely Punished. The lawlessness that has existed among the Chinese in Chinatown: for years past culminating in the muider of Little Pete has put Chief Crowley on his mettle and in the future the Chief intends to compel the Chinese to abolish the customsof their own country, which they have been permiited 1o indulge in unmolested. One of the privileges granted the Chi- nese has been the indiscriminate use of firecrackers during their New Year festivi- ties. This year that privilege has been withdrawn and the Chief has notified the Chinese Consul that the explosion of fire- crackers is probibited by law and that the violators wiil be severely punisned. The conclusion of the Chief’s letter to the Consul, which was sent yesterday, conveys a world of meaning to the Chi- nese. The letier is as follows: OFFICE CHIEF OF POLICE, SAN FRANCISCO, Jun. 27, 1897. Hou. Fung Wing Hing, Imperial « hinese Con- sul-General, 806 Stockton street, City—DEAR SIR: Will you piesse notify your couuirymen that the explosion of firecrackers in this City is rohibited by lew and that the violators wiil severely punished? No permit will be granted to any one this year to explode firecrackers in this City dur- ing the Cirinese New Year. In coniection with this matter it mey be well for me to state that hereiofore your countrymeu have been treated with great consideration by the authorities of this City in matters bearing upon the habits and customs of their country at or about their New Year. Recentevents have shown that a very large proportion of the Cainese populs- lation are uuworlby of being granted favors or privileges ot any kind, because they do not appesr 1o have any respect for our laws, but sel them at defiance. When the ire of the American people be- comes aroused in this matter the Chinese wiil discover their mistake, and this question will probably be settled in a summary way. Re- spectiuily, P. el CHINATOWN IS STARTLED. Rumors of Foui Schemes Frighten the Mongolians z:nd Amuse the Police. Rumors by the score, some startlingand others truly oriental in their ludicrous- ness, are fleeting like lightning flashes through the dark alleys and narrow re- cesses of Chinatown. Last evening Ser- geant Cook was informed that a foul scheme to assassinate a police officer bad been concocted by the highbinders. First the rumor bhad it that the Sam Yups had men posted on the roofs over- looking the streets ready to shoot an officer and blame the killing on the See Yups. Later the report was reversed. seve eral Mongolians stating that the See Yups were the plotters. The police are not in- clined to credit the story, but nevertheless many an officer patrolling his beat glances aloft much oftener than occasion seems to require. . About 9 o'clock Chinatown was again startled by the rumor that Dong Gong, in- terpreter and police informant, had been shot to death. ~ Later the report simmered down and rumor had it that the interpre- ter had been shot in the lez. Sergeant Cook investigated the affair, and found Dong safe and uninjured in his home, guarded by a police officer. The most startling report of all origi- nated in Sullivan alley. Here a number of Chinamen informed Officer McGavern and Special Officer Downey that the high- binders were storing arms and ammuni- tion in an underground dungeon near Pa- cific street, preparing to do battle with the whites in case they were molested in their controversies. But this is looked upon as a hoax. L0S ANGELES DEBUTANTE. Miss Yves Remynton Makes a Succ at the Tivoli—Clever Work at the Alcazar. Debutantes seem to be the order of the week at the local theaters. The last to join the ranks is Miss Yves Remynton, aLos Angeles girl, who made her first public appearance on any professional stage last night in the title role of Wal- lace’s ““Maritana” at the Tivoli. She has sung a good deal at concerts and amateur performances in the City of the Angels, but she is quite unknown here, and, there- fore, won the hearty applause she received entirely on her own merits. Miss Remynton is a slim, dark girl, who looked very well in her gypsy’s dress, and entered with so much spirit into her part that she did not convey the imores- sion of a_beginner. She has a lignt but penetrating voice, which is sweet and sympa hetic in guality and shows evi- dences of good training. At first she suf- fered from nervousness and showed a slight tendency to sing out of tune, but as the opera progressed she shook off her nervousness and did excellent work. The rest of the cast of “Maritana’’ is good. Ruys Thomas never appeared to better advantage than he is doing as Don Ceesar de Bazan. His singing of “Let Me Like a Solaier Fall” 1s nightly encored again and again. John J. Raffael is also excellent as Don Jose. On Saturday night the new burlesque, “Aladdin,” will be produced. “The Devil's Auction,” which has bright, new acts and dances this week, has only a few more daysto run et the Columbia. On Monday the humorous farce-comedy, ‘A Prodigal Father,” will open at the Columbia. One of the special- ties announced for this piece is the toe- dancer, Titenia. Titenia is a Utah girl but her successes have been made at the Olympic and the Casino in New York. CROWLEY, Chief of Poiice. . The rough edges in Monday night’s per- formance of “Magda” at the Baldwin Theater have been worn away by practice and the play is now running quite smoothly. “Magda” wlll be the bili fér to-night, Friday night and the Saturday matinee. On Baturday evening *‘M arie Stuart will bs presented. One of the best performances of “‘All the Comforts of Home" seen in San Fran- cisco is being given at the Alcazar. Mrs. Bates, as the terrible Mrs. Bander, is thor- oughly in_her elethent and arouses roars of laughter by the sincerity of her domi-| neering ways. J. B. Polk was never more at home than as her luckless spouse, whose tastes incline him to give little breakfasis to opera singers and whose duty-chains him to Mrs. Bender's side. The affectation which often mars Miss Beatrice Lieb's acting really helps her in the role or Fiti Orotanski, the frivolous opera singer with a taste for champagne breakfasts. Hugo Toland is still suffering from hoarseness, but was a good deal better last night. Miss Juliet Crosby and Miss Gertrude Tidball, the two debutantes, are quite at home on the stage, and Francis Powers, May Buckley and Waiter Belasco contribate 1o the fun of the piece. William Gilette's ‘A Legal Wreck" will be next week’s bill. “The Orphans of New York’’ is exerting its drawing powers well at the Grand. Edward 1. Heron gets through the dash< ing part of the resourceful *‘Shiner” ina way that is eminently sa:isfactory to the hearers, and the children are doing espe- cially pretty work. Bessie Clayton has firmly established herself in_the good will of the Orpheum public by her clever dancing and contor- tion work, and Kiralfy has become auite a popular feature of the ballet. Guille, the tenor who was one of the stars of the Tavary Opera Company, is announced for next week. Bristol’s clever horses, ponies and mules remain the attraction at the People’s Palace. ————— ° WILL PLAY WHIST. Concordians ¥orm an Annex That Promises Many Ploasant : venings.
