For the past several days an effort has been made to quell the disturbancs between the tongs. The Six Chinesa Companies, the Chinese Consul and or- ganizations of respectable merchants issued proclamations of peace, but the trouble brewing only assumed more ominous proportions. The Hop Singa, who on account of their weakenad ranks were being worsted, had called upon their members out of town to re- port here for duty, that they might avenge the deaths of thelr fellow members. On Monday many of them arrived, and the determination of the Hop Sing Tong never relaxed.

PROFESSIONAL DEBUT OF MISS MARY SCOTT EHERE were two events of impor- ‘fr’ tance at the California Theatdy last night. One was the production of Pinero’s play, “The Princess and the Butterfly,” and the other the debut of | ¢ Miss Mary Scott. I am moved to com- | & ment firstly on the latter and lesser event | ¢ because it was that that drew the crowd | 4, and takes first place in point of iaterest if not In point of importance. And now I must make a digression. Once upon a time there was an army officer. At a certaln battle in the late rebellion he was killed. It is told that he dicd in the arms of & certaln scldfer, who displayed conspicuous bravery in his act. The soldier had a daughter, the officer a nephew. The first of these wa: Mary Scott, the second a being whos stern duty it is to judge impartially and without ‘sentimental consclousness the merits of stage folk. Bo be it. s Scott In assuming the role of Fay Zuliani undertook & task that might well try the ability of an experlenced actress. | To say that she was overweighted would be but the truth; to say that she falled would be doing her an injustice. A good amateur is rarely a good professtonal at the moment of transition from one state | to the other, but if the fledgling show | promise he or she should be encouraged that artistic good may accrue. The hope- less amateur, however, should be ruth- lessly crushed out of existence as a men- ace to the stage, which can ill afford the further incursion of mediocrity. I am happy to say that Miss Scott {s not of these, for, although her shortcomings are evident in the trying role of Fay Zullani, she is possessed of talent that might be considerable in another part.

The Chinese festivals were approach- ing and business was stunted. Even the theaters and gambling-houses were deserted, as Chinese feared to walk on the streets after sundown. Accordingly yesterday morning the leaders of the tongs were called to the headquarters of the See Yup Soctety, on the corner of Clay street and Waverly place, and after four hours of discussion were forced to sign an agreement declaring for peace until a board of arbitration can convene. > (=3 ReR AN PIR I N B 28 E AR SR AEst faed T QO A IN RE PR &% pudnes R ¥ The president of the Hop Sing Tong was not present, he having deserted the city after an attempt to take his life was made on the opening day of the hostllities, but his representative spoke for him. He stated that the Hop Sing Tong would under no con- sideration drop the matter, and a number of threats had to be used be- fore he would even consent to a sus- pension of hostilitles The agreement which was flnally effected will not prevent shooting in the interfor coun- ties, and as the Hop Sings are more numerous out of the city it is ex- pected that the war will be carried back to Maryéville and fought to a finish, even before the truce in San Francisco expires. The statement made that the Hop Bings would sue for peace or that its members were Instrumental in bring- about the truce which was declared yesterday is pronounced by prominent Chinese and officers to be nonsensi- cal and absurd. The Declaration of Truce is as follows: This notice s served by the See Yup So- clety that the Suey Sing and the Hop Sing, two tongs, have agreed to stop trouble and 1ty, they said, was above question and his word was accepted as he gave it. That eeemed to settle the question of apology, but, strangely, it did not. Corrigan was permitted to testify and plead that, belng uncouth, he {s, there- fore, irresponsible. The plea seemed to have a remarkable effect upon the stew- ards, who announced that action would be deferred until to-morrow night, when more witnesses would be heard. There were several walting in the room to give their evidence, but they were not wanted. Milroy’s word that he had been brutnjl! insulted by Corrigan had been accepte but the stewards turned a somersault and landed nowhere. They could not but see thelr own humiliating position and they even won sympathy ause of this new and grating assertion of authority which Corrigan publicly made over them.

The annual election of officers of the Chamber of Commerce was held yester- day and the following were selected: President, Charles Nelson; first vice pres- ident, George A.

There is much speculation as to whether the difficultfes will be straightened out before the truce ex- pires. Some of the Chinamen are of the opinion that it will, but the warlike attitude of the Hop Sings, who have had four men wounded or killed, seems to indicate that some very encouraging | | | | | | | i | | | terms will have to be made to make them forget and forgive. The introduction of twen extra policemen into Chinatown ;yeeterday drove nineteen of the dangerous high- binders to other climes. Under the ai- rection of Acting Chief of Police Biggy,, Captain Wittman and Sergeant Duke,” Wwith ten officers, searched fifteen high. binder joints. The officers were arme: with search warrants and dlscovered weapons In neagly every place. The most startling discovery, however, was made last night in the headquarters of the Hop Sings, where high explosives were found, in addition to many weap- ons and implements for the manufac- ture of bullets and powder. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the fifteen places were blockaded simultaneously by the police and the Chinese were surprised. Acting Chief Biggy says that he will not withdraw the ad- ditional officers from Chinatown for several days yet, until he is assured that the contracting parties will keep their faith. He stated that he will exert every effort to prevent murder, and his work yesterday has had its ef- fect already.

It consists of A. Bodyuusky, V. Patapoff and F. Berisoft of Russia, P. Deemens, also a Russian, who resides in Los Angeles, and | W. H. Holabird, who is from the East. | The party arrived yesterday in a special | cal from Oregon. W. H. Mills of the Southern Pacific Company, who went as far north as Portland to join it, accom- panied the members back to this city. Bodyuusky, Patapoff and Borisoff are supposed to be commissioners appointed by the Russian Government to come to the United States to report upon the point best suited for a terminus for the great Siberfan Rallway Company, which will | run steamers across the Pacific from | Vladivostok to some place on this coast, | They were met in British Columbia by Mr. Holabird, who came from the East for that purpose. At Portland they were joined bf’ Mr. Mills and Mr. Deemens, act- ing as_Interpreter for the Southern Pa- ciflc official, and brought to this city. The visitors deny that they are the agents of the Russian Government look- ing for a Pacific Coast terminus for the sleamahlA? line and refuse to tell what their business s here, as they claim that | ublicity would defeat their plans. Mr, ills says that a dispatch recently pub- | lished In one of the evening papers is en- tirely without foundation as far as it credits the Russians with belng Govern- ment agents. Whatever their business here it is evi- hing of great moment as all dently somet of the party are of the first consequence and anything that in their own country would bring them thus far afleid must be of considerable importance.

Mayhood, who on Monday stole away his eight- year-old son, is still at large and the of- ficers have not been able to locate him. Sheriff Dunlap has learned that Mayhood | and his son left Napa Monday afternoon in Willlam Moore’s hack and wers driven to a point near the Stanley ranch, four miles south of town. At a given point Mayhood alighted from the carriage and told the driver to go back to town. May- hood then disappeared In the woods. At about dusk he took supper at Orrin Sam- mon’s ranch and from here he went to the Cutting Packing Company's whart and hailed the steamer Zinfandel that was going to San Francisco. At $§ o'clock he got aboard and went to the city, and from that point it is feared that he has taken an overland train for the East. %‘hen the steamer left Napa at 7 o'clock Inder Sheriff Daly and Constable Allen boarded the boat and made a search for Mayhood, but they did not find him. The officers rode down tne river about a mile to the Sawyer Tanning Company’s whart, but at this point they left the steamer. If they had continued the journey the of- ficers would have got thelr man when he boarded the steamer farther down the river. Besides the boy he stole awa from his divorced wife, fiayhood had wit him the child that was awarded him by Judge Ham. There are four children in the family. Just before leaving Napa Mayhood was seen by Philllp Plass and stated to that i gentleman that he thought he would go | to Cape Nome. Sheriff Dunlap has sent telegrams to the Chiefs of Police In San Francisco, Redding, Truckee, Sacramento and other points in the State, requesting the autho: East tles to search all frains going it and to apprehend Mayhood and his two children. Mayhood is about 40 years of age, has a mustache and sideburns, is about § feet 6 inches high and stoops slightly. — Sues North Pacific Railroad. Special Dispatch to The Call.
