\ J i\ ] THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1897. QUONG HING FLED FOR HIS LIFE Plot to Murder an Influ- éntial Chinese in Sacramento. Quong Chick, Manager of the Sam Yup Theater, in Danger. “Little Pete’s” Widow Now Offers $2000 for the Punishment of His Assassins. It has just come to light that simul- taneously with the murder ot ‘‘Litle Pete” in this City an attempt was made to murder another influential Chinese in Sacramento, and that community was spared the unwelcome sensation attend- ing a fonl assassination only by the vigi- lance of certain friends of the man marked for death in the capital of the State, The day before Pete's temerity caused his death six as d erate highbinders as Chinatown can boast of took the train for Sacramento. Their mission was to mur- er Quong Hing, the former interpreter of Sam Yups, and there exists little abt that the deed would have been con- immsted had it not been for the fact that spies here learned of the intended crime and immediately wired Hing of his danger. As soon as the latter received the start- ng news he leit his mercantile business harge of subordinates ana wentinto ing until the day before yesterday. In the meantime the hatchetmen arrived and et various times were seen about those places where the man marked for \ter was most likely to be foind. the day before yesterday Quong On Hing quietly boarded the train for San isco, where he wonld be surrounded by friends and in comparatively smail ia r of losing his life so lo as he ob- ved ordinary precaution. The high- ders were apprised of his arrival here and have since returned. Quong Hick, the manager of the Sam p theater, on Jeckson street, is another whose life is in constant danger. uccess of that institution, it is said, eiy owing to his business enterprise acity, and in order to give the riyal Yup house, lately opened on Wash- street, a better chance to thrive he been placed on the death-list. : Hing and Quong Chick are seen on tue street together; y are always accompanied by a an guard. White guards have a *in the Chinese quarter nowadas conspiracy to murder Hing in Sac- nio shows one thing pretty conclu- —that sooner or later “‘Little Pete’ would bave been murdered even if his white guard were aiong. The idea in killing Hing was to keep him from re- turning to this eity and filiing the office of interpreter to the Sam Yups, whica would be leit vacant by Pete's death. Chinese say the sum on Quong Hing's and Quong Chick’s heaa is $1000 each. S0 I WIDOW SEEKS REVENGE. Chun LI Offers $2000 Reward for Her Husband’s Murderer. Although a pagan woman, born in a pagan empire and surrounded by pagan influences, revenze is as sweet to the widow of the murdered “Little Pete” as it isto the biuest blooded aristocrat that treads the earth. She seeks vengeance for ber husband’s death and is willing to part with'a portion of the gold he hoarded and left ber, when the highbinder’s bullet cnf short his life. Buch, at least, is the deduction drawn from the following notice, copies of which were circulated ahout Chinatown yester- day afternoon: NOTICE. A reward of $2000 is hereby offered for the conviction of the murderers of Fong Ching, otherwise known as Little Pete, who was mur- dered in this City on January 23, 1897. CHUN L1, Widow of Fong Ching. Many a Sam Yup face lit up when he read tne placard, knowing that gold would tempt the most vicious hatchet- man to betray his companion if he knew 1hat he conld do so and escape assassina- tion. hold the slayer of “Little Pete” in the tight of a hero—scowled ominously when they read the posters, showing too plainly that their sympathies are with the mur- derer, not the murdered. Several of the rd notices were vosted, but the See rew Yups refrained from committing any overt act and the notices remained during dayhight undisturbed, Under the cover of night, however, several of them were torn down, but not uuder the eyes of the police. —_—— SMASHING OF THE JARS. Sergeant Price’s Hatchet Brigade on the Warpath. Sergeant Price, “the American terror,” and his squad, “dressed gay as peacocks,” moved through the highbinder dens of Chinatown with ax and sledge yesterday afternoon. hen he was throueh with hi§ .march where gay decorations and handsome paraphernalia once gladdened the hearts of the Mongolians nothing re- mained but unsightly traces of demolition and chaotic desolation. Early in the morning the sergeant se- lected six men and went with them to the Gibson House on Jackson street, between Dupont and Kearny. The ghosts of many & Chinese victiln have stalked through the dark hallways and slept in the dingy rooms of this building, and the police wanted to meet them. On the upper floor of the building is iocated the meeting- room of the Suey Sing Tong. In this room the squad of destruction found half a dozen Mongolians ali more or less under the influence of opium. A short search brought to lizht several pieces of lead pipe and an assortment of wicked-looking keives. These were promptly confiscated and the squad pro- ceeded to its work of demolition. Axes and hammers splintered, chopped and smashed, and in a few moments the once gaudy room could not claim a stick upon a stick. The Chinamen were al- lowed to remain and watch. A small dark room on the second floor 01 822 Clay street, the home of wo wild- \ived hatchet men, next received its share of police attention. It was wrecked be- yond repair, and a red-eyed joss that had faithfully guarded the room for many years was dismembered. Its skull was eracked and it was tossed without fear of vil into the heap of wreckage. This epi- The | The See Yups, however—those who | ode finished the day’s work of demoli tion. BITUMEN ON LOMBARD. The Street to Be Boulevarded—Other Street Work Recommended for | Performance. The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors decided yesterday to recom- mend the paving of Lombard street with bitumen. The street will be boulevarded from Van Ness avenue to the Presidio. The committee also decided to recom- mend that the Market-street Railway Company sball be given a franchise to ex- tend its tracks along Masonic avenue from Oak to Page street and along Fred- erick from Clayton to Carl. The Carnival Committee was given the exclusive privi- lege to maintain grand stands on Van Ness avenue and Market street during the carnival season. It was dectded to report in favor of sewers in Florida and Bryant streets, Precita avenue and Valencia street, as peritioned for; also in favor of street work as foliows: Grading of Filbert, between Broderick and Baker, aud Broderick, between Union and Fil- bert; paving of Filbert, between Steiner and Piere with hitumen: paving of Fitbert, from Polk to Van Ness, with basalt; paving of Fil- vert, between Van Ness and Franklin, with 1 s on the corners of Mason and Union; on Fillmore, between Sut- ter and Bush; on Post, between Scoit and De- 0; on’Bush, between Webster and Fill- and on Ninth, between Market and Mission; also recommending that the follow= ing proposed work be passed to &n order: lank sidewalk on Cortland avenie, bes tween on and Andover; grading of Broderick, between Green and Union, and from Filbert to Greeuwich; also, requésting that the clerk be directed fo readvertise for proposals for stone sidewalks on the crossing of Fillmore and Celifornia; also, requesting the omission of further proceedings in the matter of paving with bitumen Central ave- nue from Hayes to_Fell; aiso, requesting that proposais be readvertised for the fajlowing Storm-water iniets at_the corners of B street south and Twelith avenue, at P &nd Thirteenth avenue, at P and Fourteenth and at the intersections of N and Fourteenth, Twelitn and Thirteenth avenues. HE CARRIED A SLUNGSHOT A Newspaper hief Who Was Allowed w Go Free by Judge Joachimsen, George Dunn is under arrest on two charges, one of petty larceny and another of carrying a concealed weapon. The arrest is one of the beneficial results of the instructions given out a couple of days ago by Captain Wittman to his men. He called their attention to the fact that | Chief Crowley was in daily receipt of com- | plaints innumerable, to the effect that petty thieves abound in the Western Division; that they stole all things with- in easy access and especially the morning papers thrown at the doors of subscribers. Dunn was captured on_ Fell street by Officers Hostetter and S. Bonner. Judge Joachimsen took it upon himsel{ to allow him to go from jail on his own recog nizance, and shorily after that the officers found that the man carried a murderous sungshot such as is used by footpads. This caused them to place the second charge against him, that of carrying a concealed weapon. George Loomis, an individual taken into custody at the same time as Dunn, has been held a prisoner in the tanks that his past record may be investigated. ————— | SWANHILDA’S SAILINGTIME Now Out Sixty-Six Days, but Not Yet Overdue. Sixty-six days to-day since the Swan- hilda left Newcastle, and still no sail in sight to indicate the coming of Butler, the Australian murderer, This does not nec- l essarily mean an unusual delay, as the average passage is nearer seventy than sixty days. The fastest sailing trip on record from | Newcastle to San Francisco is forty-four days, made by the English bark Win- hover. The longest passage is 126 days and was made by the En:lish ship Lord Canning. It once took the Am rican bark J. D. Peters 124 days to make the pas- sage and the English ship Hahneman was out 115 days before she came into this port. The Swanhilda is a fine, long, four- mast bark, and on her last trip from New- castle came up in fifty-cight days. It is known, however, that the Swanhilda is now very foul with grass and barnacles. This condition makes a verv considerable difference in her speed. On her recent passage from Cave Town, South Adirica, she was fifty days in sailing the course usually covered in thirty-five or forty. The bottom had become foul after a three months’ stay at Cape Town, and it has not been scraped since. The brisk southeast wind that has been blowing ior several days off the coast may be expected to bring the Swanhilda into port any time now, if she be reasonably near here. But for all that has heen seen by any of the ships that have arrived already the Swanhiida may be very far away, the victim of contrary winds or of calms. MISSING PEOPLE. | Police Searching for John McCluskey, a Boy, and Henry Stiles, The police are endeavorinz to find John | McCluskey, a boy 13 years of age. He was | employed at Raphael’s, but last week left there to work at the news stand in the Palace Hotel.

A “square rigger” was reported and in a moment everybody was on the qui vive, John McCluskey, Who Is Missing. has been heard of him. His mother, Mrs. Ford, 431 Linden avenue, is grief-stricken over his unaccountable absence. Henry Stiles is also.reported missing. He lived at 1228 Golden Gate avenue, and on Saturday, January 16, he received $100 from his parents, who live in Albion, Or- leans County, N. Y. Since then he has not been seen.

F.* | The detectives got ready and Sergeant | Bunner had the police boat swung out and | all were ready for active service. After a | couple of hours of delay the vessel was | finally made out to be the William F. | Babeock from New York. The run was | made in the good time of 138 days. Heavy | weather was encountered off Cape Horn, | but the vassage from fifty to fifty was nevertheless accomplished in twelve days. OIf the Pacific Coast heavy westerly gales were experienced and the pilot had con- siderable trouble in getting aboard. Can- tain Graham of the Babcock and Captain Freeman, who brought the vessel in, both say that very heavy weather prevails out- side. Itisa fair wind for the Swanbhilda, however, and the pilots who go out in the Bonita to-night are confident of capturing the prize. Captain Graham of the Babcock is one of the best known and best liked masters that comes to San Francisco. The following information has just been received from the Hydrographic Office at Washington, D. C.: Along the south side of that portion of the ocean east o1 the Hawalian Islands the trade winds may be expected o blow with a de- cided northerly slant, while to the westward of ther the trades may be expected 10 be gen- erally ensterly or esst-northeasterly. During February the belt of calms and variables be- | tween the trades may be expected (o be aar- row—so narrow in some places thata vessel may pass from one trade wind into the other without any perceptible break. Typhoons are unusual during February. The northeast monsoon on the coast of China blows s.eadily during this month. Occasional fog wiil be found slong the American coast. W, S.

Pro- fessor Anthony of Oakland will be at the head of the expedition and Henry B. Kneding will form one of the party. The Wahlberg is now being fitted out in Oak- land and will be ready to sail on her long cruige in a few days. W. Thompson, or, as he is known from one end of 1he Wwater front to the other, “British Bill,”” is prostrated with grief and yet he is the envy of the entire neigh- borhood. ~His wife is slowly but surely dying and thbat is what is causing him sorrow ‘‘because.” said Bill yesterday, C. Wahlberz has She is now the ‘“she was the best wifea man ever had. Hundreds of times when I have gone off onaspree she would brace me up and bring me around into working shape again.” What excites the envy of the neighbor- hood is the fact that during the thirty-six years Mrs. Thompson has been in the sailor boarding-house business with ber husband she has amassed a fortuna of about $25,000 unknown to him. *The only person who knew anytaing about it was Mrs. Lane (the wife of another board- ing-master),” said Thompson. *My wife told her some time ago that she had been saving up money smce 1861 and thai she hoped she would die first so that I canld have tle use of 1t after she was gone.” Some months ago Thompson joined the Salvation Army, and a short time ago was promoted 10 be a sergeant. Knowing that she was dying, she informed her Lusband of the little nestegg she had been saving up for nim and signed her passbook over to him. There was a short but lively session of the Harbor Commissioners yesterday. Three sweepers, Frank C. O’Neil, P. W. Winkiey and J. T. Bloomer, were dis- charged, and Foreman of Sweepers Thomas Kane had to be protected from their vemgance by Gergeant Hayes. Wednesday was a wet day, and the men took more liquor than was good for them, and Kane brought them to account. The men got angry and one of them struck the old man, They then seized him and | rushed him up to the Chief Wharfinger's | office, where they demanded that he be dismissed. Chief Wharfinger Root told the men to | %o to work and meke their complaint next | day. They got abusive and he at once | suspended them. Before their sentence of dismissal was passed Sergeant Hayes was telephoned for and he was wstructed to take Kane under his charge. The yacht Idier, from which J. C. Wil- son Jr. was drowned some time ago, will go to Honolulu. After the sad occurrence | the little vessel was sold to the Naval Battalion and her name was changed to Natalie. Her new owners soon tired of | her and she again changed hands. She is | now being fitted out for an ocean voyage. It is expected thut asshe isa handsome and speedy craft a good price will be ob- tained for her at the islands. The Pacific Steam Whaling Company's steamer Golden Gate will be launched from Hay & Wright's yard, Alameda Point, to-morrow. The Golden Gate has during the winter been lengthened 25 feet and raised 2 feet, which gives her a water line of 105 feet ana & good freebodrd, mak- | ing her one of the finest cannery'steam | tenders sailing out of San Francisco. Special attention has been given to her | ecrew accommodations, which gives them largs and comfortabie apartments. Her new engines—11x24, 18-inch stroke—will ive hera speed of 934 knots per hour. er reconstruction has been under the direct supervision of Captain 0. J. Humphrey of the whaling company. The Golden Gate sails for Alaska the middle of Marcn, where she will be employed as a tender to gne or more of the company’s canneries, Captain S. F. Snow goes out in the Golden Gate in command. The wife of Captain A. C.

Cap- tain Sherman will go out next season on the Orca, but will leave his children at home. PR A Burbers’ Mass-Meeting. The Journeymen Barbers’ Union will hold a mass-meeting next Sunday afternoon at 102 O’Farrell street. The purpose is to discuss the bill the barbers of the State have now be- fore the Legislature. The proposed law is similar to that under which dentists practice. It provides that none but competent barbers shall follow the trade, and that all must be examined as to their qualifications before a competent bosrd. Aprrentices must serve a stated time before they can secure a license to practice. If the bill passes it wiil kil the so- Ccalled berber’s colleges, where face-serapers e turned out by the dozens after a few days’ or weeks' tuition. PORTLAND'S CLUB LOST GCOD MONEY Brown of the Multnomahs Went Down Before Kreling. A Grand Night's Wrestling Tournament in the O!ympic Gymnasium. The Directors Cut Duwn the Salaries of Their Employes Ten Per Cont. Notwithstanding the heavy rainstorm, which was at its best about 8 o’clock last evening. the ladies and their escorts poured into the Olympic Club as thick as drops fell on the street without. It was wrestling night and the announce- ment that a special match between the champion lightweight of the Multnomah Athletic Club of Portland, Or., and the champion of the Olympic Club would take place attracted a large gathering. The storm could not keep the ladies away. 3 In the feather-weight class, 125 pounds and under, ¥. Butler of the Olympic Club, H. Gelder of the Ozkland Athietic Club, F. Haustren of the Kintracht Athletic Club and J. Meagles of the Columbia Athletic Clab contested. Gelder defeated Butler, Haustren defeated Meagles, and in the final bout Gelder defeatsd Haustren and won first prize. in the lightweight contests H. M. Platt of the Reliance Club defeated F. Eckhardt of the Olympic; L. Mamlock, Columbia_Athletic Ciub, defeated J. J. Phillips, Olympic, and F. G. Ely, Olym- pic, defeated E.F. Empey, Olympic. In the second round Platt defeated Mamlock and Ely wrestled Mamlock a bye. Ely and Platt met 1n the final and Platt won first prize. Eckhardt is anxious to meet Platt in any ciub in a special match, best two out of three, as he considers that he did not get a fair show 1ast evening. Weiter-weight division—@. Eckhardt, 0. defeated M. E. Smith, 0. C.; F. G. Ely. O. C., defeated J. J. Conlon, C. A. C. In the second and final round Eckhardt defeated Ely for first place. Middle-weights—F. Hoffman of the San the first white child ev-r born in the Are- | Francisco Turn Verems defeated Charles Peterson of the C. A. C., and D. Mahoney, 0. C., defeated K. B. Cornell, 0. C. Inthe tinal Hoffman easily disposed of Mahoney, proving beyond a doubt that he is a very clever wrestler. Heavy-weights—G. Hiiderbrant, 0. C., defented Charles Peterson, C. A.C.; R. B. Cornell, 0. C., defeated D. Maiione, O. C. Cornell, Mahoney and Peterson wrestled alyo in the middle and heavy weight divisions. In the second and final bout Hilderbrant defeated Cornell be- cause of his advantage in size and weight, which handicapped Cornell. Doubtiess Hoffman would have won the first prize had he been a coniestant, as he was by long odds the better wrestler. The event of the evening was the special match between H. Brown, a past director of the Multnomah Ashletic Club of Port- land, Or., and C. F. Kreling of the Olym- pic Club, who hoids the lightweight championship. Great interest was mani- Tested in this contest, as the athletes of the Multnomah Club were sanguine that their representative would easily defeat the Olympic lad. Yesterday a prominent meraber of the Olympic Club received an order to place | $700 on Brown at even money and long ‘before the wrestlers made their appea ance on the carpet the coin was covered. Brown holds the Northwest record for pole-vaulting, having cleared 10 feet 1 inch. Itissaid that Erown taught Green- land—the athlete who received a decision over Kreling in Portland last year be- cause of the ignorance of the referee—all that the northern champion knows of catch-as-catch-can style of wrestling. Because Greeuland defeated Kreling the Portlanders were certain that Brown would easily throw Kreling and they wagered their money accordingly. Brown has been a resident of this City for a year, during which time be has b-en in the employ of Palmer & Rey as fore- man oi the firm’s type foundry. He has trained four weeks for the contest and ap- peared in first-class condition last evening when he faced hisopponent on the mat. Referee Eugene Van Court of the Re- liance Athletic Club ordered the wrestlers into action at 9 p. M. [They were given balf an bour in waich to gain a fall. Brown started in to finish his opponentin quick order, and after some hot prelimi- nary work he got a leglock on Kreling and brought him to the carpet. Brown tried several neck and arm locks, all of which Kreling broke. Then Kreling by a %uick movement got a hammer lock on rown’s left arm, which the latter broke after a hard strain, Kreling soon had him again in a tight place by a neck and arm bold and Brown’s shoulders almost touched the carpe:, but by a great dispiay of strength he managed to turn and breax the hold. Brown then attempted to get on his pins, but he was ?ickly canght in an arm ho!d, which reling suddenly changed to & neck hold, and then by a roll he put Brown on his back with both shoulders on the mat. The result was signaled by great cheering. When the men appeared for the second bout, as the match was best two out of three fails, Brown wore a very determined look and the spectators expected to see some extra lively wrestling, but the ex- Portland champion, so. to speak, was not in it with the Olympic boy, who appeared | as cool as a cucumber and proved that he | kuew a thing or two about the game, | Brown started in well and soon had his opnonent on the carpet by a neck hold and a throw, but Kreling was at home when on all-fours and soon had Brown | guessing. The rortland lad fell into a trap in- stantly, and by an arm and neck hold Kreling had Brown with both shoulders almost touching, but the latter broke the hold by another great display of strength. Aiter ~considerable give-and-take work Brown made an attempt to roll Kreling, when the latter countered and, with a half-hammer lock, Kreling brought Brown half way over. Kreling then ciuanged to a half Nelson, which Brown broke, but before he knew where he was at Kreling | bad him again on his night shoulder, with a leg ana arm lock, which Kreling quickly changed to a leg pinch, out of which | Brl(;wn could not possibly extricate him- self. The match was won by Kreling—Time of first fall, 5 min. 4 sec.i"time of second fall, 8 min. 15 sec. Possibly the Mult- nomih Club may now give Kreling a return match with Greenland, their home champion. The directors of the Olympic Club met last evening in session and decided to cut the salaries of all the employes 10 per cent, which means a saving of about $200 per month to the club. Peter McIntyre was engaged to look after the outdodr | grounds for two months at a salary of | *% $40 per month.
