CRISIS Intense Feeling Prevails in Many. Districts and' an Outbreak Is Not Unlikely PEKING, Feb. 2.—An ‘evidence of the tension existing between the Chinese and foreigners is found in ‘a recent event which took place in Tientsin on the oc- casion of the birthday of Emperer Wil liam. . While Yuan 8hikal, Viceroy -of the’ Provinee of Chill, was passing . through the British settlement on lis way to:make a:formal visit to the German fficlals one of his outriders was struck by a Chlnese policeman enforcing the rule of the road’ to keep to‘the left. A scuffle enlued The | ‘Viceroy afterward demandéd. the.surre; der of the pdliceman for punlshment. At ter & meeting ot the municipal auithorities the British Consul General and represe: tatives .of Yuan Shikal, a-full missed -and handed over to the- Chlne!! officials, “who . promised. lenfency. The Viceroy’s magistrate, "however, . immedi- ately ordered that the offender receive a punuhmen: “of a thousand “strokes with bamboo, -which is frequently fatal lnd th ee months’ penal servitude, Forelgn opinion- here Insists that tho Viceroy's- demand for the surrender and the extremity of the punishment. ordered were both deliberately intended to im- press foreigners with a , sense of the Chinese authority. Brnitish officlals are I'bitterly denouniced by foreign residents for surrendering the youcemln. who was & British employe. Foreign newspapers puhu-hed at Shang- hal, Hongkong and Tientsin continye to dwell with apprehension upon anti-fer- eign trouble, but Peking gives no sign of any hostlle feeling toward foreigners. The Dowager Empress recelved the diplomatic body to-day, the Chinese New Year. At the audience she displayed her customary cordiality. The relations be- tween the court and the legations are in no way changed. The open agitation against foreigners is confined to Central and Southern China, and it is anticipated that troubles, if they occur; will be lim- ited to those sections, as “Boxerism” was limited to the north. Those whose pre- dictions would ‘carry greatest weight, however, are most reluctant to express opinions. TUndoubtedly all China is at a white heat of political discussion. Such in- tense feeling as prevalls on the part of the inhabitants has seldom been seen be- fore and makes any result possible. A local outbreak may precipitate general hostilities. No movement agalinst forelgners is to be discovered ex- cept the American boycott, but the na- tional anti-forelgn feeling is growing stronger and the peculiar status of for- eigners in China affords many points of friction. The court has made every in- ducement to preserve mmu- at the legations. The Dowag 8u] porters freely discuss tho possibility that she may be driven by revolution to seek shelter within the walls of the foreign le- B 8.

Plllsbury For nearly fwo months Lena R.lnn.ldo, a young working girl fram Rocklin, cher- ished the . hope that she would be the bride of Liouis .C.

Friends had been invited to the ceremony and the rela- tives of the bride came to the city in ex- pectation of the happy event. Friends who interested themselves ‘in .the girl's behalf disclosed the identity of her lover and a pathetic scene was enacted at. the Hall of Justice when she came to a real- ization of the fate she had, by accident, avoided. Lena Rinaldo has been employed in'a lodging-house at 121 Powell street for over four months. - She is about 20 yéars .of age and her life ran without incident, until she met a roomer, who ‘sigried the register as “‘H. A. Willlams.” The two became friendly.and later the man asked the girl to become his wife. * Miss Rinaldo consented and to-day was the date set for the wedding. - “‘Willlams™: secured’ the marriage license, but when thé people in the ‘house saw it, they discovered that he gave the name of Louis C. “Pillsbury’ in- stead of that under which he had been known. ated and Mr. and Mrs. Julius. Kaufmann, thp latter a daughter of the landlady of the . hiowse, : Consulted lhe police with - the result that “Williams’” " pleture was dis- covered in the rogites' galléry. ‘When this. information was conveyed to Miss Rinaldo she would not beliéve it. " An appointment was made for her with Detectivé Thomas | Atchinson last evening and she . looked upon the face of the man she trusted and loved in a galaxy of criminals who have been- hunted to earth and -who have atoned to the law. h GIRL WEEPS BITTERLY. ‘When the proof of Pillsbury’s perfldy ‘was made apparent to the girl she. wept piteously and begged- to be taken to some ‘place where she might never: see the man again or where he might never be able to discover her. . Mr. and Mrs. Kaufmann took her to the ‘Winchester Hotel and remafned with her for the night.” The girl's’ mother, who had come to San Francisco to witness the ceremory, was sent for and ;auolod her daughter in her distress. Information reached: Pillsbury - that his fiancee had learned his.record and had forsaken. him. -These facts con- fronted him: He served one year In San Quentin prison for forgery in 1874 He was next sent to- the ‘Coun- ty. “Jail -of - this' county "for misde- meanor embezzlement and served six months.” On both of these occasions he gave the name of M. C. Plllsbury, On November 20, 1880, he started a-ten- year sentencé in San Quentin for forgery .| he served.in the Oregon penitentiary. On March_ 9, 1891, “he ‘was sentenced to six months ‘for petty larceny, and.in the following February - he - departed * for ‘San Quentin to . serve ' a fourteen- vear sentence for forgery.’ On the l'ocoasiori of the trial there were three specific charges against the man, but he was convicted on only.one of them.” On December 1 of last'year he was released and commenced his woging immediately. Miss Rinaldo féll a .victim.to his charms: PILLSBURY BUYS REVOLVER. was 1h the Winchester ‘Hotel .and, at- tempted to ‘see, her. When his efforts proved. useless ‘he. expresseéd a desire to kill. himself, .and, crossing the ' street, purchased a revolvet. To severa] persons. 'he gave .the information that he would be found dead within an. hour at 57 Sixth street, and Detectives Regan and O"Con- nell arrested him several hours later at this place, after he had glven the land- lady his weapon. The ex- convjet'. name geaced' on the detinue 'book, and he wfll held until the police are certain that ‘he means harm to nelther the gifrl nor himself. Pilisbury had recently ac- ‘quired a portion of a large estate in the East, and his {ncome is about §25 a week. In a conversation he said: “Can’t they let me alone and bury the past? I love this girl and .would have done what was right by her. Tt is true that I aid not tell her that I had been a conviot, but I intimated that my life had not been what it should have been and she seemed satisfled and we set the date for the marriage. I hope that she will not desert me and that she will try to reclaim me from the life that I have led since my childhood. T purchased the re- volver for, the purpose of killing a man named Bernardi, who lives in Rocklin, this trouble. I may take my own life, but that is my own business and I don't see why the officers don't let me alone.” —————— Count de Rochefoucauld Sent to Jall.
