A FATAL LEAP.
A Chinaman meets With Disaster
on the Southern Pacific.

A Chinaman meets With Disaster
on the Southern Pacific.
Lee Hang Fow, who, as his name inn
plies, is one of the Mongolian residents
of California, boarded Southern Pacific
train yesterday morning with ticket in
his grasp emitting him to a ride to Al
ham bra. There happened to be no one
on the train who wanted to get off at
Shorb's, neither were there any passen-
gers TO be seen waiting on the platform
there, so, as is customary on such occa-
sions at that station, the train did not
come to halt. AS the cars whirled past
Lee became excited, and exclaiming.
Me get off here" ran to the platform.
The conductor happened to be in the car
and pulled the bell cord as signal to the
engineer to stop, but the Chinaman evil
IDENTIFY thought he could make his exit
without being carried hundred yards or
80 further along. He, therefore, jumped
from the steps, but, as is invariably the
case with Cinnamon, he leapt the wrong
way; that is, he jumped with his back
toward the direction in which he
was going. The result was very
distressing. He fell with terrific force
striking his head against the ties and re-
bounding and craahing his head against
the rails. He then lay as if dead, and
the trainmen, who rushed to his assist
ance as soon as the train pulled up,
found him unconscious and with blood
from his nose, ears, mouth
and several cuts in his head. He was
tenderly carried back to the train and
taken to Pomona for medical attendance.
His wounds were there dressed, and he
was sent back to the hospital here,
where he lies in a sinking condition and
with only one chance out of thousand

No Compromise with John.

OTTAWA, April 25.--John Hallen, one
of the owners of the American ship,
Bridgewater, seized by the Canadian
customs officials at shelburne, and de-
tanned for eighty-one days, is here,
pressing his claims for damages. He
originally sought compensation to the
extent of $23 5000. He came here
direct from Washington, where he
had interviews with the Secretary
of State. He said to-day: "The Gov
eminent wishes me to accept fiat en-
ablipg me to prove damages in the Ex-
chequer Court. will not accept it. The
seizure is now an international question
and is the subject of diplomatic cores
pondence." Allen says he will secure at
least $50 900 damages, the amount which
he would be entitled to under the treaty
between the two nations, unless prompt
settlement is effected.

Is THERE anything more lowering than
the use to whichso of our boys are
now put by advertisers in this city? A
procession Of them walking inside of
barrels with flaming announcements
passed through the streets yesterday.
For the sake of our common humanity, a
spectacle so humiliating ought to be pro-
hibited. T4e practice is also objection
able from the fact that horses get fright
ened at the strange apparition, and
serious accidents are rendered possible.
There should be an ordinance against this
unseemly exhibition.

IT IS to be hoped that, before the new
City Hall is completed. precautions will
be taken to have it correspond to the
conditions nominated in the bond. The
pressure of the tower, as all the readers
OF the HERALD know, has crushed a
number of pilasters out of shape, and
has, besides, made lot OF unseemly
gaps in the walls. 1t is the intention of
the contractors to replace these damaged
ornaments, but the extent to which the
tower may settle in the coming years is
a very uncertain problem, and one in
