A. J. B.

They are couched in such language that would make the writers amenable to the law could they be iocated. At the consulate the matter was laughed at, and the Vice- Consul said that the circulars were the work of the highbinder societies, who find their occupation gone by the action of the legation in stopping the boycott. According 1o the Vice-Consul the high- binders are trying to have revenge and have taken up a very trivisl matter 1n order to make capital. The members of the legation were invited to a banquet given by the presidents of several weaithy merchants’ societies, and at this banquet they were entertained by singing-girls, as is the usual custom at tiese dinners. This was taken as the head and front of the offending, and the circulars dweit upon the fact that such-things were contrary to Chinese etiquette, especially among the officials of tue kingdom. The Vice-Consul stated yesterday even- ing that tie presence of singing-girls at banquets was a custom that was to be reles of the Chinese pzople, and while the members of the legation would not give a banquet i a public res- was no reason why they should not ac- cept an invitation to a banguet given by others, who were at liberty to entertain the guests in any way that seemed fit to the Lost: - Alc:zar.

ENDEDIN A FRE FIGHT. Olympic Social Club Gives a| Dance at 0dd Fellows’~ | Hall. 1 Frank Purcell and Patsy Corrigan." the Pugilists, Acted as Floor Managers. The Olympic Social Club gave a dance in 0dd Fellows’ Hall Saturday night, and as the cnarge was moderate there was a iarge attendance. Frank Purceil and Patsy Corrigun, the pugilists, were honored with the position of floor managers, not from their knowl- ege of the terpsichorean art, but becanse they could keep unruly guests under sub- jection. Everything went along smoothly till the early hours of Sunday morning, and then there was trouble. Liberal potations of steam beer bad made severalof the male guests pugnacious and the floor managers started in 70 make things lively. Purcell went around the hall with an open knife i n his pocket, threatening to clean out the place, and offered to fight every man of them, one after the other, if they would go outside. Jack O'Brien, a teamster. and Purcell got into a “scrap,” and Purcell kicked him. O'Brien shot out bis right and 1anded on Purcell’s jaw. Before the round was concluded Policeman Meyerappeared and arrested O Brien for disturbing the peace. This had a quietening effect for a few minutes, but Purcell got it his work aga n and threatened to knock the uffin’,” as he expressed it, our of a Iriend of Jim Keliy. Kelly gave him the “defi,” and just as a fight was imminent Policeman Dennis Havden appeared. Purcell wanted to thrash Denny, and made a pass at him, which Denny avoided. Policeman J. A. | Ryan came to Denny’s assistance, and Purcell was clubbed into subjection and taken to the City Prison, charged with disturbing the peace. Yesterday morning O'Brien’s case came up before Judge Conian and, after hearing the evidence, it was dismissed, the Judge remarking that it was a pity O'Brien had not thrashed Purcell. Purcell’s case was called in Judge Camp- bell’s court, and by consent was continued | an increase it w: Lincoln H. Lewars, manager of the com- pany, atributes Bergmann’s downfall to wine, women and horses, and what roused his suspicion that Bergmann was living beyond his means was personally seeing him lavisbly spending money. ““At the requesi of the president of the company,”’ said Manager Lewars yester- day, “I gave Bergmann a desk in the of- fice, although his services were not needed. He got $10 a week, and as he is an expert bookkeeper, when he asked for sgiven him and he got elopments have proved to me that bis asking for the increase was simply a blind, as he was recklessly spending the company’s money, “Last Friday night I was in a restau- rant and saw Bergmann spend between §6 and $7 for supper.

SHOW THEIR TEETH. Highbinders Send Threatening and Abusive Letters and Circulars to the Chinese Legation. Allis not well in Chinatown; at least that is what the h'ghbinders think. The work of the new Vice-Consul, who recent- ly arrived here from Washington, in oring- ing about a truce between the rival associ- ations has not pleasea those who are pro- fiting by the boycott between the See Yups and the Sam Yups. Ever since the truce has been estab- lished letters have been received daily at the Consulate, some threatening, some denouncingand some ridiculing the mem- bers of the legation . for their work in the direction of peace. These letters have b:en invariably anonymous, consequent- ly no attention has been paid to them. Finding that their letters have had no effect the men who are against the good work have gone a step further, and yes- terday morning the walls of Chinatown were placarded with a scurrilous circular denouncing the members of the legation and the presidents of ihe companies who till to-marrow, participated in a banquet held in a strong and O'Neil doa very funny burlesque boxing act aund William Rafferty sings some Celtic ditties.

Friedlander and Gottlob had pos- session of the preliminary contracts for the coming season of all plays in the Cali- fornia and Baldwin Theaters has been emphatically denied by Mr. Friedlander. He states that the whole desl is hingeing on the leasesof the Baldwin and California theaters, and that as =oon as that has been satisfaetorily settled the papers which will soon be prepared will b: signed new corporation will be given to the pub- lic. Mr. Friedtander stated last evening tnat what the public had said was of no consequence to the parties interested in the deal, and that as soon as the deal was comvleted the people or general public wonld see how useless it was to talk of themselves had been ficured on. He said last eveming: *It is just pos- sible that the entire deal may be con- summated this or next week, but it isonly a guess, as the leases of the two theaters in question are the drawback. We are no nearer & solution of the matter than we were when Mr. fayman went East, and from present conditions of affairs we will still be in darkness for several weeks. However we can never tell what may hap- pen. [hope and think that the deal may beclosed during tbe present week. If it is our policy will then be given to the gen- eral public.” _—— NEW TO-DAY.
