Methodist Mission Home, but it is what the note meant, end while not a day passes without some such appeal for help, the good matron of the mission felt that she could not lend a deaf ear to this pa- thetic cry for assistance. Yet the s quel forms one of the saddest stories of Chinese slavery that has been made public. The girl was a victim of Chinese justice meted | out to one who tries to escape a life of servitude and degradation, for the effort to rescue was a failure, and it is well known that death is the punishment in- tlicted upon s'aves who make an unsuc- cessiul attempt to escape. This apveal for aid was received at the Mission Home, and it was determined to rescue the girl if it were possibie. Com- munications were opened between the matron and the slave girl. and all ar- rangements were made. The girl gave explicit directions, so that the rescue varty could make no mistuke, and when they reached the house she was to stand at the door and look turough the grated As soon as the rescue party made its appearance she was to bolda | card in ner hand, and then draw the bolts so that the rescuers couid get inside.

Sne enlisted flices of the poiice and the time was heir raid. At the appoinied hour the party reached the door and started up the stairs toward the crated door above. The girl was there sccording to the ar- rangements and held up the card. She pulled back the bolt as the party made a rush for the top of the stairway, but be- fore they could reach the opening the door was slammed shut and the bolts drawn while the girl was dragged shriek- ing away. They could see the heiples, girl holding out her arms to them and then saw a cloth thrown over her head, and all was as silent as one of those ‘ichambers of tranquillity’’ near the hos- itals. pTue officers battered at the door, and finaliy a mest innocent-looking Chinaman appesred and asked: “What you want here? come 2"’ He was told that they were after the slave girl, and the innocent look took- on a deeper expression with a little addition of injury as he replied: Why you W A MU Scene as the Rescuing Party Ascended the Steps.

Me live lone here.” Strict search was made, and notwith- standing the fact that several eirls had been seen through the grated door when the rush up thestairs was made, the house was apparently as empty as if it had been left to the rats which scurried before the lights of the searching party. Whnat became of the girl? That is known oniy to ner Maker and to the Chinese brutes who had held her in slavery. Her fate may be surmised be- cause she ha: disappesred as completely #8if tie earth had openec and swallowed her fiom sight of man. The stories of other slave girls made after their escape may aiso give grounds for tiie surmise. All say they would be killed if caught, ana all say that those who attempt to escape and fail are killed. With runways like rats; with dark alleys between louses, unknown to the bniiders: with tunneis below the streets irom block to block; with a thousana and one ways to make away with obnoxious persons, these blocks known ss *‘China- town” hold many a tragedy that never comes to the lignt of day. If slaves can be held, teaten, bought and sold day after day while the Govern- ment officials say that slavery does not exist, then it is e¢sy 10 surmise what may happen when Uliinese vengeaance is aroused agminst one of ihe helpiess beings who sends forth such an urgent plea for rescue. It is easy 1o surmise what became of the unforiunate creature who was last seen with her head enveloped in the folds of a heavy cloth to stifle ber cries for help and for mercy. MAY REOPEN THE SUIT, Sppervisors Asked to Allow the Crom- atory Case to Go to the Su- preme Court. Attorney James M. Kinley appeared before the Judiciary Committee of the Board of Supervisors vesterday and asked permission to resume, in the interests of pariies he did not make public, the suit begun some time since to declare void the franchise granted by the last Boara of Supervisors for a garbage crematory. The case, wnich was decided several months ago in the Superior Jourt in favor of the present holders of the franchise, is to be taken to tue Suprreme Court. Mr. Kinley stated that the suit would not cost the City one cent and was to be pushal through so that the legality of the fran- chise might be finally determined. In case the Superior Court is reversed the Supervisors wiil be in a position to reopen the whole matter. The committee took the subjeet under consideration. —————— Isanc Grant in the Emporiam. Euit has been brought by the Emporium and Gulden Rulc Company against Isanc Grant to oust him from that portion of the Emporium building in which be persists in doing busi- ness against the will of the company.

Wheat and Flour Take a Steady Rise, With No Sign of Weakness.

The quotations given at the close of last week and the comments upon them were as follows: There was & very strong feeling in wheat at the closing session of the week. December started at $1 30 nd closed at $1 309?; May, $133. Decemb.r barley opened at 76%5e, ad- vanced 10 77%4c, where it closed. Tie local wheat market has shown unusual activity during the weex. One cargo of California ] wheat wassold for France account, the first for many months. Exporters are outbidding each other in the country for wheat; in mauy fnstances 4c to 6¢ above the price of Decernber bas been peid. KFarmers' deliveries are very small. Shippers are finding it hard to get enough wheat to fill immediate charters. The demand from abrosd scems about to start. The market has had a 10c advance within the past two weeks without a b & local crowd figuring on a break of 2c or e Country buying'was liberal to-day. Since that time there has been no diminution, either in the price or the de- mand, so it is inferred that the market will keep up for some time to come. Iti; a recognized iact that the French buyers are here and are determined to lay in a supply, as the crop is known to be short in that country. India isin the same con- dition and Australia will come luter. The reports from France show that the condition in that country fully justifies the increase in this market. They say: Foreign markets came higher and excited Liverpool was up 13{d. Paris reported flour 75 centimes to 1 iran. higher. Wheat was unchanged, The Ssn Francisco price on flour took a jump yesterday of 25 cents on the barrel. This with a steady wheat market gives an indication that there is yet a higher mar- £1n to be reached. The quotations a: the close of yesterday’s sale points to this There was excitement and big business at the call board. December wheat open at $1 35, rose to $1 36 and closed at $1 May was in demand at $1 38. At 10:15 December shot up to $1 37% at the open- g and went still higher, o $1 38, closing at $137% May opened at §1 4:1{ and backed cown to §1 40, Ai11:15 December rose to $139. closing at $L 381 May opened a) §1 4137 and closed at $1 41, Following this news was received that C. A. Pillsbury of Minneapolic had obtained control of three-fourths of the visible wheat supply. If this be so he has been at work in a very quiet way. Nor is this the end. From present indi- cations it is fair to predict that tha farmer during the coming year wili fina himself in the rather novel position of making money, provided common prudence is ex- ercised in the disposition of the yield. There is zoing to be an unusual demand for wheat all over the world, and most of the deficient crop will have to be provided for by tne yield of California grain fields. The Australian harvest will not begin until Jannary next, and the crop then will be short. A certain amount of grain will go thence from San Francisco during the coming season, pr bably more than | last year, when the amount was consider- able. So that with bome requirements und a heavy export trade, while the crop itself can only be called a fair one, the San Joaquin wheat-growers and those of the upper valleys will have an Alaska bonanza of their own at hom THE LATE J. J. O'BRIEN. The Ancient Order of Hibernians Pass Resolutions of Respect. At the regular meeting of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Board of Erin, reso- lutions of respect to the memory of the late J. J. O'Brien were passed. Several years ago Mr. O’Brien was the grand marshal of the St. Patrick’s day parade. The resolutions were as follows: WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God to | remove from our midst J. J. 0’Brien, who has always been an earnest worker in Ire.and’s cause; and whereas, J. J. O'Brien was an en- thusiastic supporter of American freedom and the priuciples inculcated by the Declaration of Independence; itis hereby Resolved, That by the death of J. J. O'Brien Caiifornia has lost & valued citizen and lre- land has lost a true and iried man, who never surrendered his principles. G, SEARS. JOHN H. GILMORE,; Commiltee, J.J.

DAVIY WILL IS GENDINE That Is the Opinion of Ex- pert D. N, Carvalho of New York. He Has Examined the Docu- ment in Question With Great Care. Jacob Z. Davis’ will received the in- dorsement of a noted expert in hand- writing in Judge Coffey’s court yesterda, David N. Carvalho, the leader of his profession in the United States, said that he had made an examination of the document and that he be- lieved it to be genuine. To be more explicit, he swore that the hand which wrote the so-called wife will and the other letters that are acknowledezed to be in Mr. Davis’ manuscript, wiote the dis- puted document. ‘When Mr. Carvalho was wading through a long explanation of the system of nis method of arriving at a conclusion in re- gard to disputed writings, Attorney Heg- gerty objected, saving that he did not think it proper to have such lectures on penmensbip during a trial of this kind. Judge Coffey szil the greater part of the trial appeared to have been given up to such lectures, and when Mr. Heggerty again objected that no foundation had been laid for the offering of this testi- mony, the court suggested that it would be the same thing 1n the end, and that it wus something like the eating of a din- ner—it would not materially change the result whether the pudding or the soup should be taken first. So Mr. Carvalho first gave an analysis of his method of arriving atadecision and then told why he thought the will to be zenuine. There are three tests, he said. Furst, in rezard to the habit of the writer in regard to keeping to or varying from the ba<e line; second, the slant of the stem letters, and thira, the peu-pressure. In forgeries it was possible for the forger to get one of these peculiarities or he might simulate two of them, but it was not possible for him to attain all three. In the Davis will all three of the elements of genuineness are present. To expiain his meaning the witness told of the different kinds of forgery. There is the cobying pian, where the iorger places the writ ne in front of him and makes the best imitation that his skill will allow; tuen there is the free hand forgery that is made by practicing the imitation of the writing that is to ve forged, and there is also the tracing method, as well as the photographic process, which is more com- plicated and one seldom resorted to for the vroduction of ordinary documents. Mr. Carvalho said .that while a forger was trying o get the slant just right he would be sure to neglect the pen-pressure, and if he was attending to the pen-press- ure he could not properly regulaie the re- iation of the genuine writing to the base line. His explanation was much simpler than any of the other theories hitherto advanced by the experts on the witness stand. Further testimony will be heard to-day. Applicanion was made by the attorneys on both sides yesterday for an adjonrnment in the afierncon for the purpose of allow- ing the lawyers und jurors to attend the funeral of the late Colonel C. F. Crocker, but Judge Coffey refused the request. He said there had been too many delays in this case already, and that hereafter it must go on witkout interruption till it is ended. He signified that ne would exrect the lawyers to go ahead even on Fridays and Saturdays in order to bring the trial to a ciose, as 1t is interrupting much other important business of tne department. Minerva Citcie, C. O. F.

THE AMATEURS PUNCHED HARD How Olympic Club Members Enjoyed Themselves Last Night. Boxers Who Fought Hard to Win Medals of Gold. ° The Winners Were Granfield, Ely, Egan, Tentress and Wiggins. The Olympic Club had a very well rep- | resented house last evening at its ama- teur ' boxing entertainment, which con- sisted of four-round bouts between the hoxers of the different amateur clubs of this City. The master of ceremonies was Billy Kennedy; Al Hampton acted as referee, and the judges were Sieve Casady and H. Taylor. Phil Wand and Joe Rae held the watches. Slogging was the order of the evening. The first bout was between G. Mulligan of the Manhattan Club and J. Granfield of the San Francisco Athletic Club. Gran- field had the better of the first round, as Mulligan did not wake up until theround was almost finished. The second, third and fourth rounds weie very evenly contested. The boxers wentat each other like game roosters, and it was = battle of give-and-take from start to finish of each round. The deci- sion was given to Granfield. There was some interest manifested in the second event, which was a contest be- tween J. O’Gara of the Tacoma Athletic Club and F. G. Ely of the Olympic. In the first round Ely injured his ieit hand on the head of O'Gara, which he struck as the Tacoma man ducked, d afterward he used the weapon onlv as a guard to ward off face blows. O’Gara put up a very poor fight, and wouid not be in the race if Ely had the use of both hands. Ely got tue decision. The match between C. Cathcart and B. Baker was declared off. The master of ceremonies stated that Cathcart was sick and unable to respond. As a substitute, a wrestier named Wedmeyer and a boxer named Egan were introduced. They gave a feirly good exhibition. Wedmeyer amused the spectators bv his eccentrici- ies. Each time he received a smash from Ec¢an he looked at the gallery gods and smiled his sweetest. He gave Egan some good punches, how- ever, during the mill, tor which he was apnlauded. Egan won the bout. Elmer T. Fentress of the Oiympic Club and F. Crowley of the Manhattan Ciub gave a rattling good contest. Fentress was entirely too clever for his opponent, who put up an exceedingly strong resist- ance, notwithstanding the punishment he received. In the first round Crowley had his left eye almost closed, and in the sec- ond round Fentress administered heavy body punishment, which perceptibly weakened the receiver. In the third round Crowley went at his game bammer and tongs and a wild blow which he landed on Fentress’ jaw sentthe Olympian against the roves in" a partially dazed state. Crowley fought every inch of ground to the finiss and both men were “bellows to mena’” when the gong sounded. In the fourth and last round Fentress smashed Crowley some hard lefts in the mouth, fini-hing up by knocking him on his back. The Manhaitan Club man was counted out. ' The final event of the evening was the defeat of J. Leahy of the San Francisco Club by L. 8. Wiggins of the Manhattan Club. Wiggins punched Leaby so hard that he actually grew tired of his job and wondered what kind of a jaw Leahy pos- | sexssed. Tbe San Francisco Club man knew very Iittle if anything about the game, but as a taker of hard punches he stands equal to the famous Jimmy Burge, ‘‘the iron man.” In the second round “Wig” knocked Leany down and the last-named figiter iumbled head over heels, af.er which acro- batic feat he sprang to his feét and imme- diately resnmed the battle. He was knocked down again and took eight sec- onus on the floor. Just before the call of time Leaby by a wi'd swing caught W g’ a heavy right on tae jaw. Altuough pun- ished badly Leahy remained on deck un- til the gong sounded the finish oi the exhibition. Of course, Wiggins was hon- ored by receiving a well-merited decision. It is possible taat the club will give box- ing contests frequenily in the fature. AMONG THE WHE_LMEN. Entries for the California Club’s Five- Mile Koad Race.

The Imperial Cycling Club members are just at present very much encrossed in a whist tournament, which is aff ,rding them a good deal of inteerst and amusement. linton R. Coulter, the professional racer, will go East Friday night, accom- paiied by his wife, on business connected with the Olympic, which he has recently purchased. I Ready for the New Tariff. ' There was a great rush yesterday to with- draw goods {rom the bonded warehouses owing to the receipt of a telegrrphed circular from the Treasury Department a.
