Mrs. Augusta Boyens, a divorced woman from Oukland, and her daughters about | X months ago took rooms at 4105 Eizh- teentl street, and two months later Wil- «on, who knew Mrs. Bovens in Qakland, engaged a room there also. Mrs. Boyens states that early in the day ay Wilson came to the house and | put a revolver to her head threatening to biow her brains out. She was afraid of bim, and when C. T. Lindervald, 125 Locu-tavenue, w: o is paying his addresses | to one of her daughters, called at night, she begged him to sleep in the house all | nizut to protect her from Wilson. Lindevald consented, and made his bed | on a lounge in the room adjoining Mrs. | Boyens’ bedroom. Before retiving, he carefully Jocked the doors of hoth rooms. Wilson came home about midnight and | | inmediately went to the door of Mrs. | | Boyens’ bedroom. He tried to open the | | door, but finding 1t locked, demanded admittance. Lindevald answered him | and toid him to vo away. On hearing | Lindevald’s voice Wilson hecame furious, | aud began to batter in the door, at the | same time yelling that he would kill | Lindevald.

The Consul-General Surprises Those Who Thought No Good Could Be Done Here. The highbinder wars of Chinatown which have so long vexed the preservers of the peuce of San Francisco and which have so often resulted in bloodshed, have | evidently been of as much interest to the Chinese people of otuer parts of the world us to the residents of California, and bave been a part of the political ques- tions of the great empire across the ocean as well. The troubles between the Sam Yup and See Yup factions, or cians, have been the cau-e of most of these troubles, and heretofore the Consul-Gen- eral of China at this place has either been powerless 1o put a siop to the fights or he has taken sides with one or the other fac- tion. When the recent changes were made in the Chinese representation to the United States the Chinatown question was one of the important ones that were brought to bear on the new Minister, and an investi- gation caused the 1emoval of the Consul- General here. When Yu Shi Yee, the present representative of the IFlowery Kingdom, came to San Francisco, about three months ago, it was openly said by the re~-ident Chinese and printed in the Chinese papers that he would be able to do nothing in the way of bringing about peace between the clans. But the resuits of his administration of affairs seem to ind.cate that those who looked upon his coming as simply meaning anew element in the old trouble were wrong in their con- clusions, for he has brought about a con- dition of peace among the Chinese resi- dents of San Francisco that has called out a commendatory expression from a Chi- nese newspaper printed in New York, which is said to have been in-pired from ihe mner circles of the legation at Wash- ineton. The article takes occasion to recall the troubles which have so long stirred up the residents of this City. and says that in the three months of his Excellency Yu Shi Yee's control there bas been more peace in Chinatown than was ever known be- fore, aud it adds that 1t is believed that his careful aajudication of jarring ques- tions butween the subjects of the Celestial Emperor will soon bring about a radical change in the conditions here. Yu Shi Yeeis a bou Chow man and is in no way connectec with either of the factions which have ben so constantiy at war here, and this fact is given as the reason why he has been so successful in his arbitration ot difficulties between the veople of his race. Through the members of the consulate the Consul-General gives it as his inten- tion to set his face steadily aeainst ail in- iringements of the laws of the land, and to give all the aid in his power to put a stop to all iliicit business, especially in the matter of importing slaves or holding slaves. He has informed the various mis- sions which are working to rescue these poor women that he will aid them in all legitimate ways in their efforts to help the down-trodden women of his race. The publication in the Eestern paper is con- sidered as an open acknowledgnient of the good done here by the Consul-General, and shows tuat while he has worked quietly his efforts have been effective, CARLYLE SAYS AE WONT PLAY | The Alcazar's Leading Man Declines to Create a Role. He Disconcerts the Excitable Management by Refusing to Row. Salary Withont Labor Performed Hurts His Feelings and Injures His Standing. As the weather prophet would sav, “The indications are,” there is going to be some fi hting doue be ore as well s dur- ing the production of Francis Powers' new pliy, “Tu k Meets Greek,” to te put on st tue Alcazar on Monday evening next. Francis Carlyle, the leading man, flatly rofuses to create the leading role in the war drama, claiming his coniract allows him ‘‘cho ¢s «f parts.” Mark Thall, the active manager of the theater, declares tuat he must take his ass gnments or else he fcr eits the terms of h s contract. With this two-s dea virsion of a theatricil agreement the maiter ra:ts and the result w 1l p obebly prove amusing and inter.st- ing. Car yle has absolute and perfect control of his temper. He won’t row, much to the dis omtiture and disgust of an excita- ble m inagement. «He is so courteous and so cool,” says Thall. “He woa’t get excited. He just declares he won’t play the part, not even if he were to be offered $1000 a week. It is too old for him, he muintains, and not at all suited to his talents. Want to know my version of the affair? Its conceit— conceit pure and simple. Our handsome leading man fears he would not look his best us a grizzled general in Turkish fez.” Then the ‘‘manag ment” shiited his position, and with pitiful accent and tear- ful eyes conciuded: *‘Don’t talk to me of a man’s beauty. I would not have another around for—""" Well, Tnall did not par- ticularize, but his gesture spoke volumes. With unruffied mein the actor discusses his part in the story. My contract calls for leading man, with choice of parts. The part was submitted to me. I read it over and did not refuse it, simply re- turned it. There has been no urging, and everything, 1 believe, is amicabia.” To illustrate this, calm as ever, the actor tol.l how he arose at a most unprofessional hour—7 A. M —and went to bid ‘“‘au re- voir and bon voyage” to Belasco, who went on the road with the Chinese play. ‘Not to play in this new piay,” con- tinued the actor, “‘is most distasteful to me. My salary will of course, go on, without any interruption, but to receive salary without labor periormed - hurts my standing as an actor and offends my feelings.’’ Powers, the gifted author of the play, is blissfully unconscious of wkat is hap- pening. ~I know nothing about the cast of the play,” he said. ‘““The management at- tends to all tha!—and then I have nothing tosay,” and with a sigh as faint and deli- cate asa summer zephyr he waved the reportorial presence away, The whole matter now resolves itself to thi-: Will Carlyle lose his temper, or will he remain calm and collected and cru-h with quiet scorn management which considers a handsonfé man an in- tolerable nuisance? Charge Not Sustained. The case of J. L. Patnaude, saloon-xeeper, charged with grand larceny, was dismissed by Judge Low yesierday as there was no evidence to hold the defendant. Thecomplaining wit- nesses were two Klondgke miners, Joseph Cezelais and W, E. Picav‘, who alleged that they each lefi a bag of gold dust in Patnaude’s charge, and when they were returned each was only about half full. Doctors Fined. Drs. W. F. Cheney, F. A. Kearney, R. H. Plummer, W. Garwood, E. C. Mervey and F. B. Carpenter, arrested for failing to register the birth of a child, pleaded guilty in Judge Low’s court yesterday, and were each fined $10. Dr. C.J. Kenyon, charged with the same offense, has employed ,Gavin McNab o nd_him, and the case was continued till August 12. e The stag beetles of Chile are among the most beautiful of the insect tribe. | Much Better Took the Alameda Driv- | did not bave to extend herself to take tne HARNESS SPORT AT BERKELEY Hijo del Diablo Won a| Very Exciting Pacing Event, Galette, Overwhélmiug Choice, Defeated Her Field Easily. ing Club Race—Pilot Prince Out for a Mark. There was one event on the card at Berkeley track yesterday that evoked some genuine enthusiasm—the first since the meeting opened on Saturday last. It was the three-year-old pace and William Murray, the stalwart owner of tne great pacing stal.ion, Diablo, and his colt, Hijo del Diablo, was the cause of the outbreak of cheering and hat-tossing. The young- ster was a pronounced favorite in the pools sold previous to the first heat over the other three entries—Arthur W, De Bernardi Basier and Majella B—selling at the rate of $15 acainst $7 for the last named trio bunched. He won the first heat, paced in clever fashion, from Basier in 2:16)4. Looking like oil out of the can the Diablo co!t then brought $10, with the field begging at $3. Leading to thestretch, he was caught by Basler and beaten out for the next heat very easily in 2:161{. De Bernardi Basler was now the rage and carried the lons end money at odds of $20 to $8 for the field, and took another | heat so easily that many left for home, thinking it all over. They missed the fun. Hijo del Diablo, who finished fourth, came out for the fourth heat with length- ened hobbles, a speed button or something of that sort, and hooking up with Basler in the hnmestretch won a very exciting and well contested heat by alength 1n This was the occasion for the first pytotechnical display. In the fifth and deciding heat Diablo had it all his own way, Basler apparently having shot his bolt. He won the heat with plenty to spare from Arthur W and his backers went wild with delight, Driver Murray being the recipient of cheers and congratulations on all sides. The other events were devoid of excite- ment. Galette outclassed her field in the 2:16 trot, and the special race for members of the Alameda Driving Ciub was a hand- me-down for Much Better. The attend- ance was about up to the average ot the previous days. A special race for named horses enabled Pilot Prince to lead Chico around the turns on two occasions and take a mark of 2:223{. The ruce for members of ihe Alameda Driving Club saw Much Better, a filly by Charles Derby and driven by A. H. Cohen, the desired one in the auction pools. She brought $10 and the ficld $5—just about $4 75 too much. Much Better coutd have traveled on stilts and downed her company, and she won in two straight heats. Anita and | K'ng Cadenza divided second money. In the way of handling the ribbons Mr. Cohen, who handled t.e winner, could give some oi the professional reinsmen points. The southern mare Galette, in the string of Walter Maben, with a record of 2:1234, purse hung up for 2:16 class trotters. Her backers had to putup $30 to win $10, which made the betting a tr.fle dreary. Three straight heats tell the story of an un- eventful race. There was one good in- vestment, wnen Lady O finished second in the third heat. Place pools on the mare paid $19 55. g Special for named horses.

It Will Be Finished to Monte- zuma in Something Like One Month, New Engines and Cars Ordered to Answer the Demands of In- oreased Business. Frank Erickson, the contractor for the building of the Sierra Railway, is among the arrivals at the Grand. He says that unprecedented progress has been made in the building of this road, and that in thirty days the cars will be running to Montezuma, in Tuoiumne County. The road, as is known 10 many people, starts from Oakdale. *‘The track is now laid and the cars run- ning to Crimea House, a distance of thirty- two and a half miles,” said Mr. Erickson, ‘‘and we are rushing the work aleng at a rate never equaled in California railroad building. I have got an idea that it will go eventually to the big trees in Calaveras County. It will then be 110 miles long. The road thus far has the biggest traffic known on the coast. Itis doing a slasn- ing business with both freight and pas- sengers. It cannot handle all the freight, as it1s, and the company is now getting three new locomotives and two passenger coaches, The 1wo coaciies now in u.e are full all the time. *The road is graded to Montezuma, which is six miles from Jamestown and four and a half from Crimea House. The end of the completed track i1s five ard a half miles from thine¢se Camp, seven and a half from Stent or Quartz Mountain, fourteen and a half from Jamestown and eighteen from Sonora. 1 am doubtful if the road will go to Sonora the way things are now. The owners of the rosd want $100,000 for going there, and if the people don't put it up it is undersiood they will leave it off to one side. “By the way I would like to have THE CALL state that the telegram published Sunday in the San Francisco papers that the passenger train on the Sierra Railroad was held up by a man with a shotgun is incorrect. There was no shotgun. The only thing was that there was a tie placed across,the track. The man who a:d it has not been caught yet, bat we think he will be caught, as some pretty carefnl work is being done just now to bring him to jus- tice.” Antwerp is soing to have a great cele- bration on the three hund edth anni- versary of Sir Aathony Van Dyck’s birth, March 22, 1899.
