I can only say that your action is worthy of yourself, and than that no higher praise can be accorded you.

Louis Cole, a wayward youth, made a desperate attempt to murder Secretary White of the California Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children last night. Several days ago Willlam Heath, the boy's stepfather, reported to the so- ciety that-a number of articles, including a historic drum that belonged to his un- cle, had disappeared from his home at 315 Twelfth street, and, as he strongly sus- pected the boy of having taken them, he asked that he be arrested. The matter was turned over to Secre- tary White, and last night he visited the home of Mrs. Lynch, at 315 Twelfth street, where the lad was stopping. After be- ing questioned, the boy admitted his guilt and, going to the basement of the house, he returned in a few minutes with most of the stolen articles. When asked about some plumbing tools, young Cole bgcame surly, and, picking up a carving Kknife, which was on the kitchen table, made a lunge at White, The surprised secretary, fortunately for himself, avoided the knife by jumping to one side, and, seizing a baby’s chair, he held it in front of him to protect his body from further thrusts of the knife. As the vicious youth continued to try to stab White, the latter forced him against the wall with the aid of the chair, and, as he again raised the weapon to strike a fatal blow, the stepfather. who witnessed the occurrence, grabbed the uplifted arm and after a short struggle took the knite from him. The desperate youth was handcuffed. He was then taken to the City Prison and booked for some public institution. L e e o e e ol ) GUNMEN START AFTER VIGTIMS Wong Fa,mily Refuses to Accede to Demands of the Chins. The state of unrest which has pervaded CHinatown for the last week was inten- sified at midnight last night when the Chin family sent forth its gunmen to pill the blood of five of the powerful Wong family. That the highbinders will o their work when the chance presents self admits of no doubht, because the uggle is one for revenge, and the high price set upon the head of each man marked for death offers more than an or- allurement to the average Chinese a b} dinary The time allotted to the Wong family to surrender the murderer of Chin Chow to the police expired at midnight. The Wongs remained defiant and when the clock struck 12, instead of handing over | the much-wanted man, they dispatched a number of gunmen from their headquar- ters to slay more Chins and to continue the struggle in the old fashion that has been in vogue since history was first writ- ten of the Chinese. e murderer, Wong Chin, Is supposed to be in hiding in a house in the Western i ctectives Gibson, McMahon spent all of yesterday search- and last evening returned to if possible, the threatened bloodshed.

I Says Remedy Must Be Found in Law of American Co-operation, PITTSBURG, Nov. 7.—The exercises of Founder's day at Carnegle Institute, which have come to be recognized as an annual event of great interest, not only to the people of Pittsburg but to those of other cities, were held in Music Hall this afternoon. Seldom if ever before has the occasion been so interesting and attended by so many people. Long before the hour set for commencing the exercises the ca- pacity of the hall was strained and the doors had/ been closed, barring out at least 2000 disappointed people who had stood in line for a long time hoping to gain admission. Aside from the natural interest attaching to the opening of the institute’s wihter session of art and mu- sic, the presence of Grover Cleveland as orator ‘of the day and of Mrs. Cleveland as honorary guest served to augment the desire of the people to participate in the exercises. The entrance of Mrs. Cleveland into ona of the boxes was the occasion of hearty and prolonged applause. Hard- ly had this noise subsided when another outburst heralded the presence of ex- President Cleveland on the stage. The vast audience received the distinguished guest by rising and giving expression to its pleasure by handclapping and waving of handkerchiefs. Happiness Is Not Found in Money. Ex-President Cleveland spoke of 'The Otligations of National Copartnership,” saying in part: The most serfous and persistent evil that disturbe co-operation emong our people is found in the contentions and Quarrels between em- ployers and employes. Surely as an_ original roposition thero shiould Le no antagonism in this countrv between labor end capital. On the contrary they should be ‘n close alllance and friendship. Our mstitutions forbid that an ex- planation of such antagonism should be found in class jealousy anc abuses. No American citi- Zen was’ever yet ccomed by birth to a life of labor or poverty and fortunes are the product of industry and intelligent endeavor. Labor and capital touch and mingle so constantly and naturally amcng us that the laborer of to-day is frequently the employer of labor to-morrow. They should always supplement. each other as the Warm rain supplements.the fertile soll, to preduce in juint contribution an abundant store of riches of nature. Nor can the most con- suming desire for happiness excuse contentious envy of capitalistic wealth, for it fs beyond reasonable dispute that the bulk of happiness amorg the American people is found on & plane of our soclal life far below that occupled Ly the rich. The cares and enxleties of the oceupation of money-getting and money-keep- ing and the strangilng of genuine pleasure which is so often the result, certalnly ought net to excite the envy of the man who con- t-ntedly works witn his hands and who, by an irrepealable flat, may find in his work the way to real, simple, unperverted happiness. While healtlitul and normal conditions of na- tional parinership forbld envy and untriendii- ness on the part of the employed toward em. vloying capital. so also such condltions most emphatically forbld the grinding selfishness, the greedy rapacity and supercilious haughtl- ness which too often characterize the treat- ment of the labor employed by capital. Partnership Duties Are Violated, I desire distmectly to disclaim any intention to suggest what may be the cause or causes of the dislocation which unfortunately so fre- quently cecurs In the relationship of labor to capital. Whether it results from unreasonable and frritating demands on the part of labor or whether our werkingmen listen too credulously to malign counsels, or whether again the trou- ble arises from the greed or avarice of capital and of Its Immediate aggressions, 1 do not pretend to smy. Perhaps all these have a share in creating the difficulty. But thers {s antag- onism_in his relationship where there should a sracious unity of purpose. The situation itself proves that somewhere there are mem- Lers of our partnership in American cltizenship ho act in violation of partnership dutiés and i am sure that I venture nothing In making the assertion that the only remedy for this sit- uation must be found In a return to the ob- gervances of the law of American co-operation. This return will not be accomvlished by nurs- ing real or lmaginary Injurl»s on the part of labor, nor by lordly i selfish arrogance on the part of capital. A beginning must be made by conspictous examples of a recognition of the duty and cbligations which are the con- itions upon which the full enjoyment of our rartnership advantages depends. These ex- amplex shonld induce conservative and toler- ant counsels. They should be promfnently recognized and appreclated, and constantiy pressed upen the view of ali who may be re- miss in their ob:igaticns to American co-opera- . hatever the scope and mature of these ns may e Unification of American Endeavor. Such an example I3 seen in the establishment and expansion of the Carnegie Institute. The library, the museum of natural history, ex- hibition of paintings, music, a school—these things constitute a monument more enduring than brass. They commemorate not only & dis- charge of the highest duty. but point the way » the creation of such unlification of Amerlcan endeavor as must develop the most patriotism. Those who love their country cannot do other- wise than fervently hope that the example here exhibited may not only incite others to do like- wise, but may accompilish its share toward dis. pelling misapprehension, ~distrust and piclon on the part of any within its immediate influence who have allowed themselves to re- gard great wealth as inevitably an unwhole- some element in our hody politic.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—A Sun special from Rome says: The Fope to-day re- ceived a number of English pilgrims. His appearance did not indicate that he was suffering from any unusual infirmity. He walked without aid, except that he used a stick. In welcoming the pilgrims he spoke extemporaneously, declaring that he looked forward to the time when Eng- land would return to the Catholic faith. According to one report the Bishop of Liverpool, in introducing the piigrims, presented a written ‘address, which was not read because it reiterated the wish of English Catholics that the Pope would recover his temporal power. The recol- lections of the stir made some time ago by the address of the Duke of Norfolk induced the Vatican officlals to keep to- day’s address a secret. ——— Bazaar Attracts Crowd. There was no falling oft last night in the attendance at the grand bazaar which is being held in the hall of the Masonic building in South 8an Francisco. The hall was crowded with ladies and their escorts, who came to assist Rev. H. N. Bevier raise the debt from Memorial Presbyterian Church. The ladies having charge of the booths were kept busy in disposing of the articles offered for sale. Recitations, songs and music tended to make the evening's entertajnment pleas- ant and acceptable to those who prefr.rred to rest after making the rounds of the hall and booths. The bazaar will close with to-night’s entertainment. —— ‘Will Lecture on Chinese. Dr. John Fryer, of the Staté University, will give an fllustrated lecture on the Chinese people, at the South Park Settle- ment of South Park, this evening at § o'clock. This is one of the series of free lectures and concerts which are to .be ‘given at the Settlement every Friday evening. £ + A ubout to be voted on. in Coffin He Carried Around World. Chinese Court Will Pay Post- humous Honors and Oreate Deceased a Marquis. PEKING, Nov. 7.—The end of Li Hung Chang was quiet.” His vitality . slowly. ebbad. For a time he lost consciousness, but he showed great tenacity, rallied at midnight, became semi-consclous, partook of nourishment and appeared to recognize his relatives. The foreign doctors left him early yes- terday, saying that nothing more could be done. His personal physician, Dr. tt, then took charge. The controversy between the foreign and Chinese doctors had no effect on the patient, because he was already beyond hope of recovery. The flames of the procession of paper effigies chariots and horses burned in the court- yard of the yamen to carry his spirit to heaven told the crowd of officials who were gathered in the narrow street out- side the yamen that the end had come. Soon afterward a procession appeared bearing a costly coffin of teakwood, beau- tifully lacquered. This coffin Li Hung Chang took on his trip around the world and he brought it from Canton when he came to Peking to settle the Boxer trou- bles. S8ince that time it has been kept in a temple. here. The body will be placed in a coffin to- morrow morning with the customary rites. On Sunday there will be a ceremonial cor- responding to a lying in state and all the Chinese officers will pay their respects. A separate day will be designated for the ministers of the powers. lInterment will be at the birthplace of the deceased statesman, a little village in the province of Anhul. The day has not yet been de- clded upon, A memorial was telegraphed to the court announcing his death, and a circular let- ter sent to the ministers of the powers. It is expected that when the court re- ceived the news an edict will be issued be- stowing posthumous honors upon the de- ceased and probably advancing him to the rank of a marquis, which title will de- scend to his eldest son. Messages of Sympathy. The ministers of the powers are per- sonally sending .messages of sympathy. The first letter recelved at the foreign of- fice came this morning from Mr. Conger, United States Minister, saying that Sec- retary Hay had instructed him to tender the regrets of President Roosevelt and the United States government at the imminent death of the Viceroy. The Chinese officials were unable to ob- tain communication withPrince Ching to- day. The Governor of Peking, the provin- cial treasurer and the generals command- ing the Chinese troops have sent a joint telegram to various points recommending Prince Ching to proceed and join the court in order to present to the court the facts of the situation in Peking before return- ing to the capital. ‘'here are no signs of mourning In the city, although the populace is much ex- cited. The Ministers of the powers con- sider Yuan Shi Kal the strongest man in China after Li Hung Chang, and they think his presence here would have a good influence on the court, but they fear the results of removing him from the province of Shantung, the most turbulent province in the empire and the seat of the Boxer movement. Yuan Shi Kai has con- irolled the province with an iron hand. The situation there is particularly deli- cate on account of the friction with the Germans, and the substitution of a man with less tact would doubtless mean up- risings and a conflict between the Chinese and Germans. The death of LI Hung Chang is doubly: regretted because he was the only influ ential” Chinese who could deal with for- elgn governments with an appreciation of the forelgn point of view. Officials at- tached to Earl Li's household informed ‘The Call correspondent to-day that the Russian Minister, Paul Lesar, called early in the morning and strenuously endeav. ored to have the seal of Li Hung Chang attached to the Manchurian convention betore he died. It is impossible to verify this statement from other than Chinese sources. Great Loss to China. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—Minister Wu Ting Fang has not yet been informed by his Government of the death of Li Hung Chang, and while cré mni of course,-the information conveyed by Minister Conger to the Stata Department, in the interest of perfect safety he has cabled to Peking for confirmation of the news before tak- ing any action on the subject at Wash- ington.’ “China has suffered a great loss by the death of LI Hung Chang.” sald Minister Wu to-day, “and the position he held in Chinese affairs will be a most difficult one for China to fill. He was a great man. He was also a good man and practically devoted his life to the bétterment of the empire and to doing good.”” Secretary Hay sent for Mr. Rockhill this evening and had a long talk with him over the Chinese situation as affected by the death of LI Hung Chang. Rock- hill, having just returned from Peking, is better posted, perhaps, than any person connected with the State Department now in Washington. The officials do not ex- pect any considerable disturbance in the Chinese administration. A new Viceroy will be chosen. The names most promi- nently mentioned as possible successors of Li Hung Chang are Yuan Shil Kal, the present Governor of Shantung, and Prince Ching himself, who has been assoclated with Li Hung Chang as one of the two Chinese plenipotentiaries. Neither of the two great southern Viceroys, those of Nankin and Hankow, could be induced to relinquish his post, even to accept the Viceroyalty of Chill, next to the throne. It s a source of anxlety here that some person of reactionary tendencles may be appointed to fill Li's place. That would be a more serlous matter than almost any other appointment, in view of the fact that the Viceroy of Chill necessarily will come into frequent and close contact with the legation guards and the military. com- manders left by the powers to connect Peking with the sea. Wu was a protege of Li Hung Chang. His friends here fear that, in the death of his protector and patron, he has been exposed to the attacks of the many ene. mies in the Chinese court which his 1ib. eral policles have created. Minister Wu for some time was Barl Li's legal adviser in foreign affairs and superintended, while acting in that oa pacity, the construction of the first Chis nese railway. On the receipt of ofcial confirmation of the death of Li Hun, Chang from Peking the Chinese standa; floating over the legation in Washington will be half-masted and there will pe nther; observances incident to such an event. FIRE PROTECTION FOR THE BOARDING-HOUSE DISTRICT On Recommendation of Chief Sullivan Companies Will Be Increased to Full Membership. The frequent fires which have occurred lately in'the boarding-house sectlon' of the city were taken notice of by the Fire Commissioners at their meeting yester- day. with the result that better protec- tion will be afforded this district. On the recommendation of Chief Sullivan it was decided to increase the following compa- nies to full membership: Truck compantes Nos. 3 and 4 to twelvo men, engine companies Nos. 8 and 31 to ten men by the appointment of the following men. fromm the waiting list: deorge Hartmen, s Me: , F.

Bapste, counselor of the French embassy, that authority is granted France to rebuild or repair sixteen churches, convents ani other institutions situated in different vitayets. There is absolutely no foundation for the report, which originated with the Paris rcho de Paris, tnat the Porte had demanded that Great Britain should pro- tect Asiatic Turkey from French attack. 87. PETERSBURG, Nov. 7.—The news- papers here anticipate that, following the 1ead of France, other powers will discover claims against Turkey. The Russian newspapers generally welcome he French naval demonstration in Turkish waters as a setback to what the Rossiys terms ‘‘German pretensions in Turkey. PARIS, Nov. 7.—A dispatch from Ad- miral Caillard kas just been received an- nouncing that he landed marines on the island of Mitylene this morning and oc- cupied the custom-house at Midillf with. out resistance. fficial advices recelved here say that the Turkish autlrorities have cut the tele- graph line between Mitylene and Con- stantinople. Thus Admiral Caillard was unable to communicate directly with M. Bapste, counselor of the French legation at Constantinople, and was obliged to file all dispatches at the island of Syra. The French Government is fairly sat- isfled with the success achieved in the dispute by the naval demonstration. The Suitan has promised to settle all mone- tary claims and has offered guarantees which fall little short of those demanded, France, however, will insist on full guar- antees and also on the surrender of Tur- key in the matter of treaty rights before evacuating Mitylene, 3 No international complications are an-. ticlpated in view of the Porte's response to E‘rance'l note, and no trouble is ex- pected on the island itself. The French Government has receivel satisfactory replles without exception td its note explaining the measures against Turkey. An excellent impression has bee: created in official circles by the tone of the response of the United States, which is couched in most friendly térms. The Greek Minister in Constantinople, according to a dispatch to a Paris news agency from Athens, has telegraphed the Greek Government that the Porte has ac- cepted all the demands of France.

A number of prominent cattlemen of the West, who have been quletly fn- vestigating, are prepared to show that during the past five years there has been an enormous decrease in the number of cattle in this country, a decrease which seriously threatens the beef food supply and_that unless speedy action be taken by Congress in the course of a 'very few ears beef will be ulllng at such fabu- ous prices that only the wealthy can n.flordvto indulge in the luxury of i beef- steak. The cause of this rapid decline in the number of beef cattle I3 said to be due solely to the contraction of the West- ern public grazing lands and the increase in the consumptive demand. .The rapid settlement of the West has caused the ranges left to become crowded and this crowded condition has prevented the re- seeding of grasses and consequently mil- lions of acres of once good pasture have been turned into absolute desert. Most of the large herds have been dispersed and slaughtered and the bulk of the cat- tle,supply is now being furnished by the small stockmen, but the evolution from the large herds on the open range to the small herds in pastures is too slow owing to unfavorable land conditions and where a few years ago the markets were sup- plied with cattle four, five and six years of age, even yearlings are being slaugh- te to make up the supply of beef. e stockmen assert that the unfavorable metheds of administering the public lands of the West are back of the threatened shortage and at the coming national con- vention in Chicago next month an effort will be made to throw the whole matter into Congress and ask that a commission be appointed with expert assistance to in- vestigate and devise plans for relleving tion. m‘l‘eh:":t.ockmfen in the National Associa- tion have striving for several years to devise some plan for amending the land laws "that would remedy exm?fi. evils, but have been unable to agree. e fac- tion is in favor of leasing the lands lay the Government: another wants the lands ceded to the Btates, and another wants the laws left as they are and firrigation work continued to redeem the lands. As a compromise for all it is now proposed to have Congress take charge of the whole matter through a commission and after investigation take such action as will tend to stop the waste and destruction now going on and encourage the establishment of small stock fajms. The plan will also recommend Government aid in building storage. renr;rolrn on the ranges near’ aters of streams. h"l"‘g:-lfl: packers admit that there has been: a_decrease in the visible supply of COUNTERFEITER Secret Service: Agénts Clark and HarrimanRepQ Make an Important Capture. Trace the Printing of Bogus Bills and Notes to a " Photographer. EL PASO, Nov. 7.—Secret service operatives sent here a month ago by Chief Wilkfe, In Washington, to-day, ar- rested M. J. Lemon, a local photographer, and captured a large number of photo- graphic plates bearing imprints of $5 sil- ver certificates, $10 national bank notes, $10-note issues of the National Bank ‘and Deseret National Bank, both of Sait Lake; Nevada National Bank of San Francisco, Banco Nacional of Mexico, Banco de Londres of Mexico and Banco Minero of Chthuahua, Mexico; also a large number of unfinished bills. Lemon is belleved by the operatives to have been connected with the production of bills, for the passing of which George de Fontain was sentenced from here - for five years in 1898.

The grievance committee of the San Francisco Bar Assoclation has recom- mended that disbarment proceedings be brought against Alexander Campbell on the ground of negligence and unprofes- sional conduct. A meeting -has been called for to-morrow at 1:30 p. m., at whnich the members will decide whether or not the proposed action before the Supreme Court shall be brought. The cause of Campbell’'s trouble is the complaint made by a client of his, Sol- omon Mitchell. Mitchell placed a damage case ‘against the Market Street Railway Company in Campbell’s hands, where it remained until the statute of limitations operated “against it without complaint ever having been. filled. Mitchell made charges to the Bar Association and in his hearing -before the grievance:committee he alleged that Campbell had led' him to believe that the case was in court. He saild that he had gone to the City Hall repeatedly expecting the case to come up in court, only to be informed-by Camp- bell day after day of postponements. He had originally instructed Campbell to bring suit in the Justice court for $299 damages, but finally Campbell had induced him to take the case into the Su- perior Court,” seeking $4000 damages. Campbell asserts that he was instructed to compromise the case and that he never deceived his client ‘about .its belng in court. Campbell practices mostly in the Police courts. He is a son of the veteran at- torney, Judge Alexander Campbell, who is now practicing in Los Angeles. 'he Bar Assoclation will also consider the advisability of prosecuting criminall such attorneys as are advertising for di- vorce practice.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—Tammany s pre- paring for wholesale resignations from its general committee. Richard Croker that 5000 at least, and per- haps twice that number, will be tempted by the promise of places and will leave Tammany to ally themselves with an in- fependent Demacratic organization. He takes a philosophical view of the situa- tion, however, believing that the deserters will .be of little loss and will be more anxious to return than they. are now to get away. Other Tammany leaders are less san- ‘guine. They fear the withdrawal of mem- bers will result in a panic and that the organization’ will be weakened beyond possibility of repair in time to make a successful .fight in 1%3. More than that, certain leaders are threatened with punishment are inclined to be obstinate, and if pushed too hard they may take their district organizations over to the new enemy. David' B. Hill's arrival in this city to- day, immediately after the announcement by the leaders of the Greater New York Democracy that they intended to con- tinue the war on Tammany until the or- ganization is wiped out of existence, was regarded as significant. B * Hill went to Willlam F. Sheehan’s law office, where he conferred with Sheehan and later took luncheon with him. It is no secret that Hill advised the or- ganizers of the Greater New York Dem- ocracy from time to time, and that he takes a deep interest in the organization and will give it all the support he can. It is known to his friends that he has mind the possibility of running for Presi- dent_in 1904 and that he.desires to have the New York delegation behind him at that time.. In order to.accomplish- this Croker must be ellminated from the situa- tion. T am always glad to meet and talk with Hill' said Sheehan. My relations witn Hill are of the pleasantest nature. As to our organization, it will represent the will 5 of the majority of its members. It will be' time enough to define its attitude toward State and natlonal leaders when its dele- gations have been admitted to the State convention. : * “We don’t want Croker.
