A CHINESE MIXTURE.
Chicago Cinnamon m a Bad Way o.
Recent Devslopments

Chicago Cinnamon In a Bad Way over
Recent Developments.
CHICAGO, May l0.-Wong Ching Foo,
the well known Chinese journalist from
New York, was in court this morning to
act as interpreter in the case of one of the
Cinnamon connected with the alleged high
binder plot Wong explained that the dis
turbance which the police had failed to
fathOm was a very simple affair after all; it
was no clan war OF faction fight, but mere
ly an attempted robbery in which the
police had allowed the robbers to
escape while they had taken
the innocent victims into custody.
Wong said a hard-working Chinaman in
the city had been preyed upon by set of
thrlttless MOngolians, too lazy to work, and
desperate enough TO obtain money in any
other way. The chief of this gang was
Charley Lee, hiRhbtnder, who has led his
into several deeds of violence
which have caused the better class of Chi
namen the loss of much money and severe
bodily injury, knives having in many cases
been freely used by Charley Lee and his
been reported TO the police, as the MOngo-
lians have but little faith in the restitution
afforded by law. Wong Chin Foo will stay
in the city and aid the police in arrestIng
the entire gang of highbinders, the mem
beTs Of which be has hopes of bringing to
justice. On the other hand il is claimed by
some Cinnamon that the affair is part of
scheme of some leading Chinese grocers to
drive the smaller dealers out of business.

New York special: Bishop Potter was
called upon last night BY q reporter with
view of learning what the reverend gentle
man had to say about the fierce criticisms
which the following passage in his sermon
at St PsuPs church on Tuesday had
brought forth: .sWe have exchanged
washington's dignity :or Jeffsrsonian sim
plicity, which is only another term for
JacksOnian yulgarity."
The bishop said: 81 have heard Of the
criticisms but have read none Of them as
yet"
1T is claimed in some quarters that you
insulted the president and attacked the re-
publican party"
81 certainly did not intend to insult or
attack anyone. l cannot make any ex-
pianstion Just now, but il, on reading the
criticisms, think II Is necessary, / will do
80 over my own signature"
The bishop pooh-poohed the idea that he
objected to Archbishop Corrigan being
slated to pronounce the benediction af the
sub-treaEury. 'sThe archbishop and my
self" said Bishop Potter, f.are on the most
amiable terms. and esteem him highly"
The bishop refused TO further discuss the

that no one will be put in the field.
This would ensure the election unop-
dosed OF Paris Gibson and r. T. Collins

sired, however, that the democratic candI-
dates shall receive a strong and emphatic

approval Of the best republicans. Itisun-
derstOOd that Mfr. Webster has fixed opin-

that he has no desire 20 be hitehed with
