SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July 3.-War
has broken out in Chinatown again
between two powerful factions OF high
binders. A rich old pawn broker named
All Sing Sur, belonging to the Zeyup
society, purchased good looking girl iu
Hong Kong recently and had her
shipped to San Francisco as his daugh-
ter. Some bard swearinghad to be done
to get the girl through the custom house,
as she was only fourteen years old and
evidently a hNlf.brGcd. Several high.

society OF professional robbers CorrobO.
tated the pawnbroker's testimony, and
he was allowed to carry of his prize to
Chinatown. A rival highbindcr, head
man in the Bo Sin Ter society, resolved
to abduct the girl, and Sunday night,
accompanied by four armed cutthrOats,
he burst into the pawnbrOker's lodgings
and carried her away, after knocking
the old man on the head. so that he lay
stunned for moment. The pawnbrO-

A MIDNIGHT RACKET.
How the Ohio Centennial Festivities were
InRugurated.

CINCINNATI, o., July 4.-The centen'
nial anniversary of the settlement ol
Ohio and her sister States OF the terri
tory northwest OF the Ohio river were
inaugurated here ut midnight last night
by the firing of u salute Of 100 guns,
from three different points on the hill
tops and on the public landing.
All the church bells in the city were
set ringing, and every steam whistle
within a radius Of five miles added to
the iubulant ushering in Of Centennial
Day and the national festival.
Although there has been good deal
Of opposition to the commencement of
the festival exercises ut midnight, the
impatience and enthusiasm OF the peo-
pie apparently knew no bounds, and it
is safe to say that for the next forty
eight hours pillows will afford but scant
repose to the exultant populace of this
city.
The Centennial Exposition will open
at 0 o'clock this morning, and the city is
now crowded with thousands of visitors
from neighboring States who will join
in the proceedings destined to mark this
historical event. In the afternoon the
grand procession will pass through the
streets under charge OF Chief Marshal
Armor Smith, jr., Mayor ofthe city.
The uproar on the streets at midnight
OF horns, cow.bells, fire crackers, &c,
never had a parallel in this city. At
Fourth aud Vine streets, the flash
OF the guns OF four batteries OF artillery,
firing salutcs, not 1000 yards away, can
be seen, but the report is drowned by
the street noise. All the streets are
crowded. Governors Foraker, Of Ohio,
Beaver Of Pennsylvania, and Thayer, OF
are here. Five other Cover
nors will be here to-day. A railroad
agent says that the roads
brought fifty thousand people to the
city Tuesday, and expect to bring US
many more to-day, Wednesday.

Congress assembled in December it was
confronted by surplus in the Treasury
of $40, ,4G6, 900; to-day, Notwithstanding
the purchase Of bonds by the Secretary
Of the Treasury, that surplus amounted
to the appalling sum OF Sl29,2I2, 600.
Since the 23d of April, the Secretary had
purchased S26,0O0,0O0 bonds, for which
he had been compelled to pay n pre-
MUM OF S5,OOO,0O0, but nOtwithstand-
ing this, the reduction Of the surplus
since that date amounted to only 81, ,000,-
900. This was the condition which con-
fronted Congress, and yet with this con.
dition confronting it, the House had
occupied twenty-eigbt days in general
debate upon the tariff bill.
Fair play to the business interests OF
the country required that the bill should
be speedily passed and sent to the
Senate.
Having completed the consideration
of four pages OF the bill the committee
rose.
A conference was ordered on the
River and Harbor appropriation bill, and
the House adjourned till Thursday.

men Say they are Satisfied and
that the Manufacturers Will
Come to Tlme-The Latest.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 3.-The iron
lockout presented no new feature to-
day. No more signatures were obtained
by the Amalgamated people to their
scale up to noon and there were no in.
dications Of either side giving in. The
manufacturers say that before they de-
cided to resist the workmen's scale they
calculated that certain firms would sign
the scale and they look for at least two
more mills to resume before the end Of
the week. The signing of the scale by
these few firms they claim, however,
will have no effect on the general situa-
ton, as there are seyenty-ene firms in
the Western Association, who are de-
termined to resist the scale.
Moorehead, McCleane & Co., paid off
their men to-day and
CLOSED DOWN INDEFINITELY.
In speaking OF the lockout to-day Max
Moorehead said: There are some firms
that cannot afford to remain idle. We
can, and unless the men give in we shall
not start before November. In the
present condition OF the market 1t is
doubtful whether We should resume
before September under any circum-
stances.
The workmen appear to be well salts
fed with the result so far and confident
ly assert that the lockout will not last
very long. The thirteen firms that have
signed the scale operate sixteen mills
aud employ about 1900 men. A
Youngstown, Ohio, dispatch says there
is no change in the situation there. All
outgoing trains are crowded with iron>
workers and their families, going to visit
friends. The manufacturers show no
disposition to sign the scale.
At o'clock this afternoon word was
received ut Amalgamated headquarters
that Scottdale Iron and Steel Company
OF scottdaIe, Pa, had signed the scale
and would continue their plants in full
operation,
The lockout has not had much effect
upon the coke trade. Shipments this
week are not as large as they were last,
but it is not due to any great extent to
the mills closing When the furnaces
began to bank, unable to find sale for
pig iron, then the coke trade will be
effected.

LONDON, July Son the resumption
to-day OF the trial of the libel suit Of
Frank Hugh o'Donnell against the
Times. Mr.. Lucy, Of the Daily Neps
was further cross-examined with a view
to showing that Mr.. otDonneII and Mr..
Parnell were chiefs OF the Irish party
when Mr.. Gladstone denounced the
League. The attendance in the court
room was smaller than yesterday.
Col. Saunderson, the lawyer OF the
Irish Tories in the House OF Commons,
was among the spectators.
Council called Mr.. Joseph Gowen, for
merly member of Parliament for New
Castle on Tyne, for the purpose OF OBJ.
tanning certain evidence, but the Lord
Chief Justice refused to allow its intro.
duction. Mr.. Burt, member Of Parlia-
ment for Morpeth, gave testimony and
thenthe case for,the plaintiff was closed.
Attorney General Webster opened for
the defense. He animadverted upon
the nOn.appearance of Mr.. O'Donnell
and prominent members OF the League
in the witness box, and declared that the
Times' articles on "Parnellism and
Crime" referred to the whole League
and not to Mr.. O'Donnell personally.
Mr.. Webster began his speech by
taunting Mr.. Ruegg, plaintiffs counsel,
with falling to prove his case. He in
tended to prove the Times case. Mr..
O'Donnell, hs said, was formerly the
editor and controller OF United ireland,
OF Dublin, and he did not dare to 60
into the witness box because OF the fear
of being questioned concerning Incl
dents damaging to the League.
Mr.. Webster said that seven persons
were murdered between January, 1880,
and March, 1882, who had been guilty
Of no crime except OF offending the
League. When these murders we're
mentioned in Parliament the Irish mem
bers neither made an explanation or re-
pudiated them. He Would prove that
remittances were made to the League
from America by men OF the worst posi-
bic character. He asked where the
books OF the League were, and expressed
the belief that they had been removed
to Paris. II the acts OF the League had
been lawful, he said, the books would
have been produced. The Attorney
General then read extracts from speeches
made by members OF the League, which
advocated boycotting and violence,
Sometimes, said Mr.. Webster, murder
followed these speeches. He said that
American money supported the Leaguers
and that Mr.. Parnell had especially
crossed the Atlantic to collect funds.
Parnell entering tho court at this mo.
ment heard the Attorney Generals
illusions to him. The court then ad.
iourned.

they had an interview OF three hours

Jail separated them, and although the
mother begged for m opportunity to
embrace her son it was denied her. The
