COSTLY RI0TING.
Chinese Damage Claims Aggregating $780,
600 Filed Against the State of California.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 20-If the damage
claims which the Chinese representatives have
preferred can be brought to head, the anti Mon
ogolian riot and expulsion are likely to cost the
people of the United States round sum. On
calling at the Chinese consulate, yesterday, Gu
Yung Ming the Chinese consul. general, made
the following statement:
''The first claim fled with your State Depart

Gu Yung Ming tapped the ends Of his delicate
fingers together, but said nothing. while the cor

NEW YORK NOTES.

An Actors Face Slapped by Noted Bur-
Iesque and Comic Opera Singer.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
Nav YORK, Feb. 20-The talk in the corri-
dore Of those theaters where fashionable loafers
and unclad actresses exchange sentiments across
the footlights If not elsewhere. is about the slap
ping of an actors face by a woman noted in the
burlesque and comic operas The names are rot es-
sential to the fun of the incident The subject
of costumes was raised between the two, as they
sat with several friends at table in restau.
rant after the evenings performance was over.
The garments in the piece had grown somewhat
threadbare, and new ones were to be soon pro-
vided. The tastes Of the actresses had been con-
suited as to the coors and styles of the proposed
toggery. II have about decided to come
out as brass-mouuted giri,n said the
actress, vivaciously, "brasscolored CATERS,
gloves and hat with the rest of the costume
neutral hue. What do you think of the idea9"
The actor gazed significantly into the pert
face that she turned toward him, and said: II
don't think it would be effective-not on YOU"
''And why2" she persisted. Isn't my face
bright enough to stand comparison with the
metals"
"Oh yes" was the reply, 'but you would lose
the value Of the contrast, You know. 1t would
be brass and brass"
The witnesses differ somewhat in their reports
OF the dialogue but the essential points were as
above given. There is no divergence, however,
from the fact that the angered and wine
woman drew back her hand and spatted the
mans cheek with all her might. There was a
hustling of persons and upsetting of chairs, and
then dustered departure of the party.

Latest Developments Concerning the Trans
continental War-A Halt in the Fight.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20-The difficulties growing
out OF the disruption of the Transcontinental
Association are increasing and the cutting of
rates, it is said, will be something phenomenal.
There has been no important change in the sit
uatson, though G. D. Simonson. of the Atchison
Topeka 81 Santa Fe railroad, said to-day that
Tuesday would be lively day in regard to a re-
duction OF freight rates. Whatever reduction
that road may make will doubtless be promptly
met by the other roads. The Sunset route will
put on more cars, and convey passengers 10 New

traffic from the Atchison road, which conveys its
passengers to that point by way of Kansas City.

War Between Supreme Judges.
.eciAl fn tina India n nnlia I0nrnaI

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Feb 20.-Two judges Of the Su-
preme Court, Barrett and Donohue. have fallen
into personal animosity and the subject is all the
talk among the lawyers and judiciary Of the city.
Donohue granted an injunction restraining the
police from enforcing the liquor law at mas
querado thus enabling the managers to sell wine
all night long, instead of stopping at l o'clock.
No idea Of moneyed corruption was thereby en-
gendered, for Donohue is above such sus-
picion, but he believed that the dan.
GERS ought to be convivial If they
wished to, and he gave to them the
privilege. AS the argument was set down for
day after the ball, of course it was never made,
for the device had done its Job. The next
masked balls promoters went to Judge Barrett
for a similar Injunction It is said that their
lawyer got into the wrong courtroom, and faced
Barrett before he was well aware that he was
not before Donohue. He made his application,
and 1t was emphatically refused. "Such an iI-
junction would be an outrageous abuse of pow
err he said; ''you might as well apply to court
to prevent the arrest of a thief as to seek to get
protection for criminal violator of the liquor
law" This attack upon Donohue is resented by
him, and the feeling between the brother judges
Is somewhat violently expressed"

Soldiers Pensions.

Those who take the trouble to look
over the figures given in the BEE of yes
terday showing the amount of money
paid to the old soldiers in Iowa and
Nebraska each month for pensions, will
see that it is not the most populous count
les by any means that receive the largest
sums. The county of Dubuque only re-
ceives each month ST. 800 81; Scott county
receives only $1,S59.5O; while Wappello
county, with population only about half
as large as that of either of the first
named, receives "a 55l 10. Lee county
receives the largest amount paid to any
county in the state, $i,S07.9S
Douglas county, Neb., which includes
the city OF Omaha, with a population two
and half times larger than that of Wap-
pello county in this state, receives only
~, 8S3.75.
These figures prove conclusively the
material which composed the grandest
army the world ever saw. 1t proves that
1t was not recruited from the scum of the
popuous cities, us is sometimes charged
by those who would detract from its
glory, but from the homes and firesdes
OF the American people, and that when
the cruel bitter task was accomplished,
back to these homes and tresides returned
the brave men who had periled life in
the defense of the flag.
The same figures also show that the
average amount paid to pensioners is less
than $40 Il month per man. Not very
large sum surely, when it is taken into
consideration that very many are almost
totally incapable of self.support.

"IIYernrd and Enlalia.v

AS general rule literature is one of
the last products of anew country; until
the wilderness and the prairie are subju-
gated, the people have little time to de-
vote to sustained original composition
such as is necessary to produce history
or novels. Iowa has been no exception
in this respect among other western
states; but there have been recently GER
tain indications which seem to point'to 10
the beginning of a new era. A story en-
titled "Everard and Eulalia' has been
written by Mr.. Edward Wright, of this
city, which is in all the essentials of q
novel far ahead of any other story writ
ten and published in this state. While
this is not an Iowa novel in the sense of
dealing with local scenes, yet its aut ior
is and for several years has been an Iowa
boy, whose home is now in Council
Bluffs, and the work Is largely influenced
by his experiences here. The story was
first published rs serial by the Herald,
of this city, but now that it has been
bound volume, it will have many
readers. 1t is heartily commended
to the story reading public, and that EN-
braces nearly every one who can read at
all with the assurance that it will find an
absorbing plot and novel and original
one as well, which is more rare, well
worked out
After following the varied fortunes Of
Eulalia and her sister, Leila May,
