The rumor is persistent through the ten- derloin that Harvey & Daroux had ample assurances of police protection from some one high up in municipal affairs, but that District Attorney Langdon heard of the quite unexpectedly spolled things by taking drastic action. It does seem strange that two seasoned gamblers such as Harvey and Daroux would invest | several thousand dollars in furnishing a gambling-house without pretty good as- surances of protection. Neither of these two gentlemen, however, will admit that anything was “fixed” before the opening. | e were very much surprised at the raid,” they say, “but we took the chance when we opened up.” Yet on each of their | faces a sad, sweet smile lingers, and un- less appearances belie them they have trouble ahead for some one.

RENO, Feb. 27.—While engaged in digging the grave of Thomas Hampton, the gambler who was killed in a sa- loon fight here a few days ago, the grave diggers encountered a well-de- | fincd ledge of gold-bearing ore a few feet below the surface of the ground. The ledge is about three feet wide and the quartz is highly mineralized, assays showing a value of $100 to the ton. The find is located in what is known as the Hillside Cemetery, in the. suburbs of Reno. It is the public burying place for the city’s dead, and contains the remains of many former residents of this city. The entire cemetery has already been staked out by prospectors and trouble is anticipated when the loca- tors endeaver to work thelr property. Notwithstanding the fact a location notice was posted where the vein was uncovered the body of Hampton was consigned to its place of earthly rest in the gold vein today. — e SHORE LINE LIMITED.

District Attorney Langdon stated yes- terday cannected with the affair. “The law must take Its course in this city,” hé said. “I am not going out to do any detective work, because I have not the time, but when evidence of gambling comes into this office I will see that it is put to use, } Chief Dinan will attend to his part. We will stop gambling of all kinds—poolsell- ing, roulette, poker playing and all. If possible I will get after the slot machine devices as well.” Chief Dinan stated yesterday that he would begin an active campaign against all forms of gambling in this city. “It is difficult to get the evidence against these fellows,”” he said, ‘‘but we are going after them hard.” Dinan went to Anna lane and visited the ralded room yesterday after- noon. He gave orders that the billiard tables be left until a competent man could be secured to take them apart. The money and the rest of the paraphernalia is at the Hall of Justice. Great excitement was created on Leides- dorft street, between California and Pine, yesterday afternoon by some joker rushing into' the poolroom there and shouting, “Look out; the police are com- ing!” In an instant pandemonium reigned. The men in the room made a wild rush for the door. None seemed to care how they got out, and scrambled and fought until they were in the open air. In the meantime the noise of the tumult attracted a crowd from California and Pine streets. When discovery was made that it was only a hoax peace was re- stored and the business of the room went on in its old-time prosaic way. o —— CHINATOWN 1§ PURIFIED. High Rental, Not Police, Drives Gam- blery From Their Tables. Gambling has ceased in Chinatown. The sudden cessation of this much- Joved Oriental pastime was not due, however, to any outburst of activity on the part of the police. The stopping of the games was due to the fact that the gamblers could not bear the ex- orbitant price demanded per house by the officlal’ Chinese go-between. This is the first time gambling in Chinatown has stopped since Police Sergeant Jessc Cook was in Chinatown following the Sergeant Ellis incident. The Chinese who have conducted 130 games of fan tan, lottery and pi gow got together and refused point blank to accede to the go-between's demand of a raise of $2.50 per week for each gaming table. According to persons well posted on Chinatown gambling it is alleged that the owners of the 130 games were paying $10 a week to a mediator who insured them protection. Of course no one knows where the $1300 thus collected went to procure the desired immunity from molestation, but it is a notorious fact that lottery drawings, pl gow and fan tan games have been running full blast for sev- eral months past, despite the ostensible stringent orders issued by the Chief of Police that the laws regarding gam- bling in the city of San Francisco should, be strictly enforced. Many white people played the lotterfes. Failure to stamp out Chinatown gambling was the pretext on which Chief of Police Wittman was removed. It is more than probable the Chinese will eventually pay the raise and re- sume operations.

S al dur- RUSSIA STRIVES | 10 AVERT WAR | LONDON, Feb: —The report from Berlin that Germany had expressed her| | willingness to make concessions on the Morocean question if France would yield | | something, and the announcement from; | St. Petersburg that Russia is using her | nfluence at Berlin to prevent a rupture between Germany and France at Alge- ciras gave Great Britain a ray of hope that the conference might still succeed in settling the questions of the police and State Bank of Morocco. These hopes, however, are not strong. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 27.—Russia is using all her influence at Berlin to prevent | a rupture between France and Germany. Her action has been taken at the in- stance of Paris, where the Rouvier gov- ernment is apparently convinced that Germany proposes to persist in her atti- tude, even to the point of provoking war. On account of the close relations exist- ing between the courts of Berlin and St. | Petersburg, it is believed in France that Russia will have more influence upon Em- | peror Willlam than any other power. Earnest representations in favor of con- cessions to Insure avoidance of an ap- | peal to arms were accordingly begun. to which Germany replied that she had noj desire to provoke war. Nevertheless, she| gave no indication that she proposed to modify her attitude, and Russia's latest advices from Algeciras indicate that prac- tically all hope of an agreement had been abandoned. Although Count Cassini, head of the Russian mission, reports that the confer- ence will be fruitless, he expresses a de- cided opinion that hostilities will not re- sult. Russia is much concerned about the sit- uation, as war between France and Ger- many would greatly embarrass her. Not only is the Russian Government so en- grossed with the interior situation as not 10 be in a position to offer aid to her ally, ! but war would end the possibility of coh- tracting another loan in Paris, of which Russia is in urgent need. Premier de Witte has now become a distinct advocate of an Anglo-Russian | understanding, and it'is understood that negotiations have been or are about to be opened in London to determine the status of this agreement. If they be succcessful o new grouping of the powers undoubt- edly will check Germany’s ambitions. The main obstacle to an understanding is the dispute regarding the respective | spheres of influence of Russia and Great | Britain in Persia, as the Russians are| loth to abandon their plans for reaching| ersian Gulf. 1 th};EPRLIN. Feb. 21.—The Sud Deutsche Reichs Correspondenz of Karlsruhe, which has the reputation of being the purveyor ot Chancellor von Bulow's views on for- ¢ign politics, maintains a much more hopeful attitude relative to the Algeciras conference than the latest utterances of the French press. The Correspondenz deprecates the assertion that the confer- ence is about to disband because of aj hopeless disagreement, and savs its con- ' tinuance is assured for the present, add- ing that the “intrinsic reasonableness ofl things,” to use Gambetta’'s phrase, speaks against a hasty breaking oft of delibera- tions, “and it will not come to that un- less influences gain the upper hand which make the Morocco question a plaything | of political passions.” \[ S T B CZAR SHOWS HIS SINCERITY.

Feb. 27.—The ukase convoking the National Assembly for May 10, which was issued against the desires of the reactionary element ‘at ccurt, has been followed by further strong evidence that the Emperor has' wrenched himself free from the old influences. Setting at naught the opin- fon of the Cabinet and a large major- ity of the Council of the Empire, his Majesty has rejected the proposed law providing for the extension of the trial by court-martial for political offenses to all parts of the empire, which was the cause of Timiriazeff leaving the Cabinet, and accepting the view of the minority that there Is no justification for such a law in a constitutional state during elections to Parliament. The Emperor also rejected the project authorizing the troops to fire if “they are insulted” and forbldding the firing of volleys of blank cartridges durlnglr street disturbances. —_— STRICKEN BLIND WHILE SITTING IN A THEATER L. McPhael, Well-Known Circus Man, Suffers From Stroke of Apoplexy. PITTSBURG, Pa. Feb. 27.—While at- tending a local theater yesterday A. L. McPhael of New York. one of the best- known circus men in the country, sud- denly became blind. Thinking it was but a freak of his imagination he light- ed a match and held the flame before his eves. His act attracted the atten- A. | tion of the audience and the players on the stage, and when the usher went to his ald it was found that he had col- lapsed. A physiclan was summoned, who an- nounced that McPhael had been stricken with apoplexy. He was re- moved to the Allepheny. General Hospi- tal, where his,condition today was re- ported as very serious. ! FOOD Sl‘).\"f BY MAIL TO BESIEGED WOMAN Police of Jacksonville Unable to Capture Miss Bish- op’s Home. Special Dispatch to The Call — Miss Since e JACKSONVILLE, IlL, Feb. Bishop is still holding the fort. February 15 she has been besieged in her dwelling n South Mauvails- tere street by the police, who have resorted to every conceivable measure to compel her capitulation, but she shows mo more sign of ylelding to- night than she did when her supply of food and water was cut off and she faced starvation. All efforts of the Chief of Police to arbitrate have been futlle. “No quarter” is the battle cry of Miss Bishop, and she refuses even to discuss such a thing as a compromise. The food and water problem has been solved by Miss Bishop's attorney, who resorted to the expedient of sending supplies through the mails and she is using her furniture for fuel. Tte object of the police in desiring to gain entrance to the premises Is to take a census of Miss Bishop's roomers, some of whom are persons whose status in the community they desire to investigate and adjust. ———— Historic Church Burned. BARCELONA, Feb. 27.—TH& Hfstoric Church of San Pablo has been de~ stroyed by an Incendiary. 4 Grieg Evening An informal recital of authorized interpretations made by Dr. Ed- vard Grieg, the great Norwegian composer, for the METRO- STYLE PIANOLA will be given Thursday Evening, March 1st, 8:15 o’clock. In the Concert Chamber, Kohler & Chase Building, Post and Kearny Streets. The programme will include sev- eral compositions of Griea’s, played according to the interpretations he has made for the METROSTYLE PIANOLA. The Metrostyle is a new attach- ment for the Pianola, which accom- plishes two purposes. (1) It records an interpretation of a performance on the piano. That is, it indicates the exact tem. 0. note by note, phrase by phrase, n which every bar is played, to- gether with the accentuation. (2) It enables another person-— not necessarily a musician—to ren- der the interpretation so recorded. Thus, with the ald of the Metro- style’ Dr. Grieg has breathed the breath of life into these rforated roils—he h: animated them with the real spirit of his music—he has recorded his ideas of how his com- ‘positions should be played. So faithfully does the Metrostyle Planola reproduce the characteris- tics of this eminent artist's compo- sitions that it seems as though he were before you actually playing.
