Details of the Recent Anti.Europeap
Disturbance in That City.
The steamship Belgic, which arrived
at San Francisco on the 9th, from Hong
Kong and Yokohama, brings the first
detailed advices of the recent anti-Eu-
ropean riots of Chin-Kiapg. The
trouble began, it is claimed in a
street row, in which Chinaman
was knocked down by policeman.
This excited the mob, and their first act
was to destroy the police station. Then
they made for the British consulate.
where Chinese inspector, who has not
since been seen, is believed to have ia
ken refuge. On the way they fred three
foreign houses. The Chinese general in
command sent 800 men to protect the
consulate. AS soon as the mob ap-
peared the soldiers capitulated. Some
fled and the rest joined the mob. The
consul's wife fed barefoot with her
children from the back door of the con-
suiate, while the moo, aided by tie sol
diers, sacked and burned everything.
The missionaries houses and chapel
nearly shared the same fate,
while the British consul him
self was twice in imminent danger
of death. The American consulate was
looted, and more houses were burned.
The residents took refuge on hulks and
the mob tried to follow them, but the
connecting bridges were raised. The

restore order. The riot broke out again
on Wednesday afternoon. When Gen.
Kennedyreached Chin Kiang he had the
American flag raised at the United
States consulate. The British ship Mu-
tine arrived on Thursday, and fired
salute to the British flag. Within five
minutes after the firing of the first gun
the Chinese in the settlement had fed
in all directions. The United States
steamship Omaha has been recalled
from Corea and gone to Chin-Kiang

The foreign residents who fed in the
hulks stationed in the river subsequent

and were taken to Shanghai. One for

fist chapel and the houses of two mis-
sionaries, the Rev. Mr.. Hunnex and

WEST VIRGINIA GOVERNORSHIP.

Gen. Gofr and President of the Senate
Carr Both Take the Oath of Office.
A Charleston, w. Va, dispatch OF
the 4th says: Promptly at noon to-day
Gen. Goff, the Republican candidate for
governor and claimant to the office, took
the State house. About the same
dent Carr, of the Senate. also
took upon himself the prescribed oath,
while in his private office, E. w. Will
son, who has filled the position for the
past four years, continued in form, at
least, to discharge his accustomed du-
ties. In and about the state house there
was gathered a tremendous crowd of peo-
pie about equally divided between the
two political parties. About II 80 o clock
Gen. Golf and several friends came into
the capitol and proceeded to the private
rounded by a number of his friends.
Gen. Golf said he had received a clear
majority of the votes cast. charged
speaker Woods, of the house of dele
gates, with having failed in the perform
ance of his constitutional duties in not
declaring the result,sn said: II am now
ready In the presence Of these people of
my state to kiss the Holy Bible and
commit myself TO the destiny that awaits
me by virtue of the partiality of my fell
low-citizens." The oath was then ad-
ministered by II. G. McWhorter, after
which Gen. Golf proceeded to Gov.
Wilson's private office and demanded
possession. Gov. Wilson was surround
ed by dense mass of his friends and
party leaders. In reply to the demand
he said he was OF the opinion that
the legislature, as coordinate
department. of the government in Joint
assembly, had exclusive jurisdiction to
ascertain and declare the result of the
election, and no title could come from
any other source. He felt it his duty
to continue in charge. President Carr
made similar demand after taking the
oath, and was similarly refused and thus
matters stand.

PUT A STOP TO TRAVEL.

Strike on the River Division of the Ore.
gon Railway & Navigation Line.
A Portland, Ore, dispatch of the 9Th
says: Orders have recently been issued
from the head offices of the Oregon
Railway q Navigation Company in New
York, authorizing reduction of wages
Of all the company's employees on the
River Division. The orders were that
the wages Of all persons from $50
and upward month, be reduced 10 per
cent. This affects materially the wages
of captains, pilots, mates and engineers.
The result has been that all have re-
fused to work. All the boats of the
company on the Willamette and
Columbia Rivers are tied up and there
is a general suspension of travel over
these lines. The same state of af-
fairs exists on Puget Sound. Thus
far every effort to reach a satisfactory
understanding has failed. The situa-
ton is a most embarrassing one to the
company and works very serious incon-.
venience to travel, trade and the mails.
Public sympathy is all with the strikers.
The law requires that all licensed pilots
and masters must have at least five
years experience on these waters and
the places of the strikers cannot be sup

DIVORCE LAWYER IN JAIL.
The Sharp Practice of q Chicago Attor-
ney Brings Him to Grief.


ney Brings Him to Grief
c. J. Beattie, Chicago lawyer who
makes specially of divorces, was jailed
in that city on the 7th, charged with fur
nishing bogus decree and introducing
perjured evidence. The decree was Civ
en- to Mrs. Ada +. Gordon, a good looking
young brunette who subsequently mar
ried a New Yorker, Arthur Wilson. A
genuine decree was not entered until
some months after the Wilson wedding,
and when this was discovered the cere-
monies had to be performed over again.
Before Judge Jameson, Mrs. Cor
dOn's first husband, who had
been absent in South America, contend
ed that Beattie never served a notice of
his wife's suit. Gordon also brought
forward number of persons whose
testimony seemed to prove conclusively
that the evidence OF Beattie's witnesses
was made out of whole cloth, and that
the witnesses themselves masuuerad-
ed under assumed names. Beattie
claims to have informed Mrs.
Gorden that the paper given her
was only copy of the probable
form of her decree. The witnesses, he
alleges, were furnished by Mrs. Cor
don. This she denies. The indications
are that the divorce will be set aside,
and that Mrs. Gordon, after being twice
welded to Wilson, must begin proceed
ings anew against her original spouse if
she still desires the second.

Thousands of Men Preparing to Rush
Into Oklahoma.
OKLAHOMA, [. T., March THE situa-
ton in Oklahoma is growing critical.
Scores of men are slipping in on all
sides, and the influx of boomers by the
railroad has begun. Last nights train
south-bound was filled with pas
sengers for Purcell, and it is
reported that Harry Hill has started
with 400 men. They will be met here
by Col. Cole and 700 boomers from the
western border of the territory.
Throngs of anxious boomers, who have
been waiting at Purcell for weeks, can
scarcely be held back, and altogether
the indications are that there will be
fully 1000 men here inside Of q
week unless the military moves
from Fort Reno at once. Prepar-
atoms for raid have been
going on at the fort for some time, and
it is expected they will move to-mor-
row or next day. The probabilities are,
however, that raid of the soldiers
would only result in scattering of the
squatters through IL woods, as they
are already within the limits of Okla
bona in sufficient numbers to come
back faster than they can be sent out.

The most disastrous fire that has &C.
Cured there in seven years, broke out
at noon on the 9Th, in the basement of
the Kleinhans & Simonson's clothing
house, 426-434 West Msrket Street, Lou

er points, turned in at the
same time, drew the attention
of the fire department and there
was some delay in getting to work. In
fifteen minutes the blaze had spread
through Kleinhans & Simonson's three
large stores, and was leaping from the
fourth floor through the roof. Soon af-
ter the roof fell and little later two
large sections of the side walls. With
one of these, the rear of S. Strauss dry
goods house went down and the fire
seemed beyond control. At the first
outbreak scores of employees from Klein
hans & Simonson and the adjoining
houses had rushed into the street. One
saleswoman was shut in by the flames
and was with difficulty rescued from the
second floor.

portant blocks in the center of the city.
A strong west wind was blowing, and
when Strauss store, the next east, was
already burning on the top floor, and
the rear fell in sending mass of flames
upon the loose structures in the center
OF the block, it seemed inevitable that
the eastern half would burn. After
hard fight, however, the
fremen gained control and con-
fined the flames to the upper
floors of Strauss place. One fireman
was painfully and another slightly hurt.
One of the Kleinhans & Simonson's
buildings was owned by III. Victor New
comb, of New York, the other by the
firm. The Strauss building was owned
by the w. P. Churchill estate.

Chicago Baggageman Floods the Mar.
ket With Bogus Tickets.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 8.-The Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway Compa-
ny has been victimized for the past
three months by Ernest E. Schroeder, q
baggageman, who managed to restore
cancelled railroad tickets to their orig
lnal value, by means of a baggageman's
punch. The cancellation of railroad
tickets is accomplished by the conduct
or punching small hole in them. It
is SO, small that the baggagemaster'
punch, which includes the let
ters "B g." would entirely
obliterate it if applied at the
same place on the ticket. Schroeder
had secured one of these punches, and
by using it directly over the cancella-
ton punch gave the ticket the appear
ance of only having been punched by
the baggage master. Schroeder has
three months, and would have continued
his populations indefinitely but for the
close system of ticket checking en-
ployed by the company. He found
ready market for his resurrected tickets
among the State Street scalpers.
Schroeder has made full confession.
The value of the tickets, 1t is thought,
will foot up in the neighborhood of
$1,000. Schroeder is % years old, and
has been married but six months. He
is well connected in Minnesota, and
stood high with his employers.
Schroeder was arraigned before Judge
Woodman to-day, but the case was adj
journed till Saturday. to enable the
police to get his complies. This, it
is thought, will be impossible, as the
prisoner absolutely refuses to 'squeal."

would vote against it. A rising vote was
taken; 20 voted in favor Is against, and

float, he found it to be impregnated
with brittle and ruby silver, equal in
metallic richness to that recently devel-
oped in Mollie Gibson, the ore from
which runs from $1,000 to $4,000 ton,
