L] 10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, APRIL 19, 1897. END OF THE WAR IN CHINATOWN| Minister Wu Ting-fang Raises the Sam Yup Boycott. The See Yups Withdraw Their Suit Against the Consul- General, The Chinese Diplomat Eatertained in Bshemia by His Old Comrade “Uncle G:orge Bromley.” Wu Ting-fang, the Chinese Minister, snd all but twelve of his suite leave here | this afternoon for Washington. | The clever diplomat bas been in this | City but eight days, during which he bas learned and accomplished much. Under tle escort of Joseph Campbell, attorney for the See Yup Company, who bas jast returned {from Washington, where he has been trving to adjust his client’s differences with the Sam Yups, drove through Golden Gate to the CLff House and Sutro Heights yesterday afternoon. The party, ing of & doze her Chinese digni- and bLali that number of favored vhite ladies and zentiemen, occupied two four-in-hand carry-alls. o At the Occidental Hotel, upon their re- | turn, the Minister greeted a CALL reporter | with the weil-meant ti | This 13 a great City, the people are Jovely and kind, but I'il be so glad to get | awa y dead and n=ed rest.” | As fact the hig:ly colored | cheeks th br ht in with him from se k ago yesterday are now drawn He hias lost ten pounds | in weight, and his general appearance in- | dicated that the pace at which bis friends | bad mude him go was killing. | ““There is just one more night of it,” he sdded with a sigh, “and then it will all be over. 1'm tobe banqueted in Chinatown l and that will settle it all. To-morrow we’ll board the train and will stop no- | where this side of Washington.”’ | Diplomats are not prone to about their ofticial doings, and Wu Ting- fang is like the rest of them. Sull the | satisfaction he feels over the resuit of his | visit bere influenced bim in saying a few | things of pubiic interest ! “The See Yup and Sam Yup troubles | #re now at an end,” he said in answer to a | talking LEAGUE OF Yesterday was the first ofticial drill of tne Cadets of the League of the Cross, who are preparing for a competitive drill for honors in this city on April 29. About 600 members of the various companies from Oakland and San Francisco assembled at the Mechanics’ Pavilion at2p. M. yesterday and drilled under Colonel Suilivan’s command for more than two hours. The band and drum corps were present and the drill was carried on with much spirit. The first work was the entrance of the battalion, which was reviewed by Colonel Sullivan. L, M and N were present. Companies A, B, D, £, F, G, H, I, K, On the appearance of the band there was a regimental parade, which was imposing and skilltully handled. Rev. Father Yorke was present throughout the drill accompanied by the following members of the clergy: Rev. Fathers O'Ryan, McDonald, and Bowen of Chicago. the evolutions. All were much pleased with the character of the darill and expressed themselves highly concerning these Consul-General.

Huntington and his nephew, H. E. Huntington. “It was only a visit de politesse,” the diplomat assurea his hearer. ““We met at the club last night, talked a few mo- ments only and re d the acquaint- ance here to-day, that is all.” Aifter a moment of reflection, during which he rubbed his tapering hand over his vast expanse of forehead, he shook his head and smiled. ““That club—those jinks—funny things, are they not?” The great man did not tell of the subse- ; quent supper at De'monico’s with Atior- ney Campbel! and » few selected among the livelier set in Bonemia. “There are some of my suite at the clnb to-day for luncheon. They are young and can keep it up, but I need more rest.” His Excellency declares ha will never forget the delightfui time he spent with the Bohemians, “Mr. Campbell—Jos Campbeli”—he said, yesterday, “induced me 1o accept an nvitation to attend the Bohemian Ciub's iwenty-fifth anniversary and the eigh!- ieth snniversary of the birth of Mr. Bromley or ‘Uncle George,’ as they call the sage of Bohemia. “1 knew Mr. Bromley when he was Consul to China many years ago, and, as istated in my short speech last night, I had accepted the invitation to not only Tenew acquaintanceship, but to mix up a little among people whom Mr. Campbell told me were successful men in their re- spective callings and who would cast aside cares and conventionalities to talk and be themselves for & night.” Uncle George’s tonst, in which he re- lated an anecaote of his meeting with Li Hung Chang, still remained predom:nant in the Minister's mind. Bromiey related how he was five years the senior of the Chinese Premier,” and this fact came out in conversation at the banquet board. “Li Hung Chang,” said Bromley. “looked up and satisfaction illuminated his broad, intelligent face as he siopped to consider the grand possibilities that lay before him in lite.”” _ Wu Ting-fang’s bons mots during the jinks and between glasses of wine, which be seemed very much to appreciate, witl also be remembered bv the Bohemians, who regard bim as a prince of good fel- lows.

The palace was quite a dis- tanuce out of town and he had walked all | the way. “When the Viceroy learned of this be | extended the Consul his hand, saying: ‘1 will grant you the desired favor on ac- | count of your old age.’ Ionly wish be| could have seen the ‘old’ man last night; | he was younger than any of u ma!

The Single-tax Club held its regular bi- monthly meeting at Pythian Castle last even- ing and for two hours discussed their favorite theory for solving the great problem of un- equal taxation. Ex-Senator Hoyt of Colusa occupiea the platform for some time eluci- dating the dogmas preached by Henry George. President Manzer of the ciub followed wizh an address, inwhich he assured those present that the single-tax idea was gzining ground so rapialy that it would Joubtless be the main issue of the next Presidential campaign. .

OUEERTHROES OF ERMS Microscopic Bacteria Reported to Be Viruleat May Prove Harm'ess. \ Pseudo Bacilli Sometimes Cause Groundless F:ars of an Epidemic of Diphtheria. Dr. Lewitt, resident physician of the Cbilaren’s Hospital, is much exercised over reports that there is diphtheria in the institution, and strenuously denies the allegation. The physician thinks that the cases that were supposed 10 be dinhtberia are not such, and that the bacilli examined by Dr. Spencer, bacteriologist of the Board of Health, are what scientists call false or pseudo diphtheritic bacteria. Dr. John F. Morse of the Board of Heelth, speaking of the matter last night, said: *'Dr. Spencer being out of the City, Ishould not care to speak of the subject in an authoritative way. We of the;Board of Health rely on his report, which is not at this moment before me. I will say, however, that there is a pseudo diph- theritic bacilius, which is quite harmliess as compared with the virulent form.” Dr. Lewitt said yesterday : “Thers is not a case in the hospital which presents any | ciinical evidence of having diphtheria, A series of experiments are being made to determine, if rossible, the proportion of | cases in which a baciiius, resembling in character the true diphtheria bacillus, is to be found in the throats of children ap- parently healthy. “It isa well-known fact in medicine that the true bacillus of diphtheria 1s oc- casionally found in the throats of persons who are in good health and who have not been expo-ed to the contagion of diph- theria; also that very frequently a baciilus known as the pseudo or false diphtheria bacitlus is very commonly found in the throats of healthy persons. “in many cases this psendo baciilus cannot be distinguished from the true bacillus by the ordinary means of investi- gation; in fact the only way to be certain 1s to inoculate sn animal with the culiure and see whether the inoculation is fatal to the animal. If the culture is of ihe true diphtheria bacilius the result is fatal while no resuits follow if tue cuiture 1s that of the pseudo bacillus. “The hospital is not undsr quarantine, but is open to receive patienis. Should any diphtheria arise, the cases are at once isolated, making the hospital perfectly safe for any children at any time.” THE KANGAROOS CAN'T PLAY BALL They Try Hard, but Are Smothered by the Olympics. Team Work and the Fine Points of the Game Unknown to Them. A Great Crowd, However, Witnessed the D:but at Central Park of the Lads From the Colonies. “Well, queerest played.” It was one of the Australian baseball players. He occapied a seat on his club’s bench on the Central Park diamond, and Le sat there in open-mouthed and pop- eyed astonishment at what he had just witness=d. “Never in my life did I =ee anything tike that in tne colonies, did you, old {chap?? Old chap, who was also & wondering occupant of the bench, youchsafed that he had noteither. It was simply a little incident of the seventh inning when the visitors from the kangaroo country were at the bat—an amusing and pretty littie play as the spec- tators saw it, but a veritable staggerer for the Australians. It appears that Weldon, the Olvmpic pitcher, thought he would be easy with the man at the bat, Carter, and tossed bim what is known as a ‘‘coaxer.” ter’s stick swished through the air and connected with the sphere. - Ho glanced heavenward to ses how far he had knocked the ball, but not catching a elimpse of it dashed off for first base any- how—only to find it there ahead of him. The ball had gone straight back from the bat into Weldon’s right hand as neatly and accurately as a bail ever moved on & baseball field. Weldon for several sec- onds deliberately turned it over and over in his hand as if it were an apple and he was picking out the choicest place for a bite. Tken he lazily turned on his beel and rolled the bail down to the first base- man amply in time to head off the im- ported runner. There were many other things that the Olympics did during the game that caused the visiting players to sputter with ejac- ulations of astonishment. In fact the Olympics had all the time an opportuuity they needed in which to cut up alil sorts of monkey shines, so “‘easy’”’ were their op- ponents. The Australians cannot play baseball. They are a willing and jolly set of fellows and no doubt did the best they could in yesterday’s contest, but they really don’t know much more than the rudiments of America’s National game. And as a mat- ter of fact, with the exception of about two of the players they have scarcely got that far along. The Olympics will never set the world afire with their own playing, but they were 8o far the superior of the men from the Colonies that yesterday's game was like watching the Baltimores play the Mil- pitas nine. But with all that it was an interesting and enjoyable game and it was witnessed bv an immense throng. The occupants of the bleachers_and grand stands were over- flowing with good nature and seemed to enjoy the seriousness with which the kan- garoos essayed to play bull about as much as they would a real three-ringed circus. It was a payinz game even if it was a dis- appointment from a baseball point of | view. The Australians go in to batas if they | were plaving cricket. The balls that Wel- don pitched yesteraay floated upto the plate as big as balloons and a schoolboy | could not help hitting them. Weldon meant that they should be struck for he had a good field behind him and knew | that it would be comparatively easy to catch the Australians on the bases. But the cricket idea will have to be avandoned if the vis really intend to tour the continen aseball players. They are all fairly good throwers and are nimble and quick, but are buticr-fingered and can’t catch a little b t. The fumbling and juggling they go through when essaying to field a ball are comical to behold. Then again they do not seem to know what team work is. Each piayer seems to think that he bas all he can attend to in looking after his own particular position on the field, and he is about right. Kemp, the pitcher, and Laver, the first baseman, are the best playersin the team. Keimp's distinguish- ing quality is his steadiness. He throws a fairly fast left-handed ball, wi h narrow curves, and puts it over the plate rignt along—toat is, as often as he can, and be always tries. The fact that his opponents find the ball without difficulty does not bother him at all. That seems to be one of the requisites of the game to his mind. Laver, the guardian of the initial bag, is blind me if that wasn’t blooming trick I the ever saw < BLAWST TOUCHED ,, 5 ME HEYE WHAT 29 BEASTLY Luck” ME THE OLYMPICS SCORE A FEW RUNS THE KANGAROO GETS ITS TAIL TWISTED.

But like the rest of them he knows nothing of the fine points of the game. The Olympics gave the Kangaroos a chance only once in the game and that was in the ninth inning. The score was 20 to 3 agamst the visitors when they went in to bat for the last time, so Weldon just let them hit the ball as they pleased for encouragement.
