The Bulletin" of this evening pub
fishes All interview with General G. w.
Legendre, formerly United States Consul
of Annoy District, China, in which he takes
ground that most of the Chinese %enigrants
to the United States come under contracts
made with emigra ton brokers, in evasion
of the regulations of the Chinese authori-
ties for the suppression of the Coolie traffic.
That to check such immigration, which
comes almost entirely through Hongkong,
it is necessary simply to counterfeit the
operations of the Chinese emigration houses
there. in which the British authorities
would undoubtedly be ready to lend aid,
and hat the revision of the ~Burlingame
treaty Is not necessarily involved in stop
ping such emigration. He draws "A strong
picture Of the nefarious practices Of the
Chinese emigration brokers, whom he CON-
siders practically little better than kid
nappers.
Joseph L. King & Co., stock brokers,
have failed. They assign as a cause too
much Sierra Nevada and Union when the
break occurred.
There was a scene in the City Criminal
Court, to day, during the trial Of DR.. w.
F. Smiths adultery case. Nelson, a prom

had been trying to suborn tue jury. Tom
Fitch cried, THAT'S a lie." George W.
Tyler, attorney for the prosecution, re-
piled, II can prove it," Fitch called him
another liar, and after exchanging pet
names for a few moments, tie ~''silver-
tongued' broke a cane over Tyler's head.
Tyler closed on his antagonist, and throt-
tied him, and won the first fall, when the
fight was stopped before any serious dam
age was done. This afternoon both parties
will have an opportunity to show cause
why they should not be punished for con
tempt.
