MOWRY'S SCHEME.

He Proposes to Take Eight Thousand
Coolies From China to Mexico.
Lyman l. Mowry, the attorney who has
had so much of the Chinese habeas corpus
business, sailed for China yesterday on the
steamer Picking for the purpose of securing
5000 Chinese laborers to work on railroad
in course of construction by an English
company across the Isthmus of Tehuante:-
pee, Mexico. Mr.. Mowry is accompanied
by a Chinese merchant from San Francisco,
and the two propose to penetrate into the
interior of China and get the coolies there.
He expects to transport the men by
special steamers, and to land them al Sallna
Cruz in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. He has a
contract to furnish the men and to feed
them while at work. From this contract
he expects to reap large profits.
Chinese Consul Bee. in speaking of this
scheme before his departure for the East,
said that Mr.. Mowry would find it impossl-
Bile to carry it into effect, for the simple
reason that the Chinese Government would
promptly stop the expectation of any OF Its
subjects to Il country with which 1t has no
treaty, such being the settled policy OF the
Chinese Government. No treaty between
MeXico and the Chinese Government has
ever been made

A WEIRD WEDDING.
The Strange Experience of a Bride
WarrenBburP. Mo,

The Strange Experience of a Bride at
Warrensburg, Mo.
A strange and weird story has been upon
the tongues OF everybody in this city to-
day. Last evening a wedding was an
nOunced to take place at the residence of
Robert Mayes in the south part of the city.
His stepdaughter, Louise Gordon, and
William Thurber were to be married, says
a special to the ST. Louis Republican. dated
Warrensburg, Mo-, August 14th. The guests
had arrived, the groom was ready, and the
bride was dressing in an upper chamber.
a sound was heard as Of some one falling
heavily in her room. The groom rushed up
stairs, and there upon the floor lay the Soon
tO-be bride unconscious, a handkerchief in
her mouth and her throat bruised. Doctors
were hastily summoned and after several
hours work she was restored to conscious
ness. She said that as she had nearly fin
lshed her toilet man sprang from ward
robe in the room and seizing her by the
throat, attempted to drag her from the
room, telling her that she should never
marry the man below. The last that she
can remember is the struggle to free herself
At II o'clock the marriage ceremony was
performed.
The wedding is surrounded by mysterious
affairs. Only a few weeks ago the bride
reported that as she was about to retire,
after bidding her tianee goodnight, and as
she was about to proceed upstairs, she was
suddenly seized from behind and rubber
sack thrown over her head. Her struggles
and screams aroused the household, but no
sign of any man could be found in the
house, nor any opening by which he could
have escaped. At another time she claims
to have met an unknown man in the road,
who rudely accosted her, telling her that
she should never marry William IhurDer.
This same mau, she says, is the one who
assaulted her last night. Many other SINH
lar stories are In circulation. For many
weeks past the story has been told that
while in Denver last winter Miss Gordon
made a faux pas. The concerned parties
made no effOlts to disprOYeithe accusation,

AFRAID OF BANKS.
A Divorced Wife Loses SIS, 900 Alimony
Hidden in Her Bosom.

A Divorced Wife Loses 81 900 Alimony
Hidden in Her Bosom.
Why is it that the majority Of women are
so afraid of a bank? They are only satisfied
with money; checks, bank books or other
evidence of money do not please them.
When l read about a woman a few days
ago who put her money under the waist Of
her dress and then lost it it reminded me of
a similar loss, only Of a larger amount.
which occurred in this city few years
ago, said q well-known lawyer to a ST. Louis
Star Sayings reporter. After much litiga-
ton in the Supreme Court an ill-used wife
got decree of divorce and about SIS, 600
alimOny. The lawyers and the wife and
her mother met in one OF the small rooms
OF the Courthouse and settled.
Tie husbands lawyer had a certified
check for all the alimOny, but the wife
wouldn't touch it; she wanted money. In
vain did her cwn counsel assure her that
the check was better than money; it was so
much safer. Her husbands treatment of
her lad been cruel, and he had fought her
application for a divorce in such mean
way that she had come to 0lStTuSt every
thing he proposed. She believed that the
check was trick and she wouldn't have
il. SO the two lawyers went out, got the
check cashed and came back with the
money. She took it, carefully deposited it
IN ner BOSOM, SmlllnBly OBSERVING IuaL no
thieves could get hold of 1t there.
She and her mother left the Courthouse
and took the Slxth-avenue Elevated for
FOrty-second street, When they got h ONE
the money was gone. Womanhke they be-
lieved that the Judge who had decreed the
aimony could in some way make the loss
good, and they rushed back to the Court
house and obtained an interview with him.
He is one OF the tenderest-hearted men in
the world, and lie has since described the
meeting as one of the most painful he ever
had. The loss of the money rendered them
absolutely penniless, and there were two
children whose custody had been given to
the mother, the father being worthless In
every respect, except pecuniarily. The wife
cried aud the mother sobbed. The Judge
explained to them that the case was closed !;
that final judgment had been rendered and
complied with; that they had insisted upon
taking bills instead OF a certified check,
which had been offered to them, and that
they had only themselves to blame for the
loss lie didn't convince the excited and
broken-hearted women by such arguments.
Finally, there being no other way of getting
rid of them, the Judge agreed to send to the
husband and lay the case before him. He
was not called upon in any manner to do
this, nor, in fact, had he any right to; but
his magninimity and pity caused him to. !
never heard that he succeeded, however,
and am under the impression that the wife
never got anything more from her husband.
He had paid the Courts decree and he let
her go-to starve, il it should 50 happen.

ILLEGAL FISHING.
A Business Which Is Extensively Carried

A Business Which Is Extensively Carried
by Chinese.
"What a peculiar class of people these
Fish Commissioners are" remarked gen.
tleman to a reporter yesterday in the Grand
Hotel. 81 have been waiting here for
hours ill the hope of seeing Fish Commits
sioner Reuter-, but l understand that his
orders are that he must not be seen while
residing here"
1t SO happened that the reporter was on
a like mi ssion and retired without having
the pleasure of seeing the gentleman who
is deputized to look after the game and fish
interests of the State.
When Mr.. Tunstead preferred charges
against the chief Of the fish patrol, the
Commissioners were very wrOth, and
openly announced that they would make
thorough investigation, which would lead
to the dismissal of their chief deputy if
that officer was proven guilty.
The investigation has, for some unex-
planned reason, hung fire, and if rumor
speaks the truth nothing further will be
heard of the matter, at least so lar as the
Com missionerS are concerned.
The Chinese merchants, who, 1t is al
legged, paid for the privilege of catching all
kinds of fish with shrimp and bag-nets, are
still engaged in the practice Of illegal fish
ing, and some Of the deputies state that
they are pOwerless to stop them from fish
Ing until Sucn time as thelr caru-lease
eXpires.
The italian fishermen are very indignant
at the privileges which are seemingly ac-
corded the Chinese whose small mesh nets
can be seen dragging the bay daily in the
vlcinities Of San Quentin, California City,
Red Rock, Hunters Point and San Pablo
Bay.
A few months ago Deputies Tunstead
and Curley arrested fourteen Chinese whom
they had found catching fish with bag nets
in San Pablo Bay. Five Of the MongolIanS
were tried at San Rafael on the 4th of this
month, found guilty aud fined $50 each. In
default of the payment of this fine they
we're thrown into Jail, where they still re-
main awaiting the result of an appeal to the
Supreme Court. On Tuesday next the re-
naming nine Chinese will have hearing,
and it is presumed that they will receive a
like sentence.
These CelestIals now in limbo were pro-
vded with sure thing pass-cards," which,
they were given to understand by their EN-
iloyers, would be "honored" by any Of the
deputies who might happen along in pur-
suit of business 1t happened, however,
that two of the outside deputies, who were
not aware of the existing agreement with

Pertinent Questions for the Shameless
Examiner to Answer.
STOCKTON Nail August Goth.
The Examiner is advising the San Jose
Convention as to its duty. The Examiner
is doing this on the claim that it is Demo-
cratic newspaper. When did the Examiner
become a Democratic newspaper in the
sense of advocating the Democratic policy
as a matter Of principle?
Until within the last month-until the
spoils-pOt began TO hoil-to what extent has
the Examiner strengthened the falterng or
cheeTed on the yalOTouS since Grover CIeYe-
land was defeated for the Presidency?
At what time since the appointment of
the WaVs and Means Committee of the
Fifty-lirst Congress has the Examiner en-
lightemed the people of California on the
tariff question? What exposition has that
Journal given of the manner in which the
public treasury is being looted?
Within the month the Examiner told its
readers that appropriations for public I'M
proyementS are matters Of favor, and that
the chief use of a Federal Senator is to
money out of the treasury Is that Demo-
cratic doctrine? We have always under
stood that economy was cardinal principle
Of the Democratic party.
The San Jose Convention was not ch osen
for the purpose of indorsing any person Tor
the Senatorship, and the Mail agrees with
the Examiner that il would be unwise to
indorse the candidacy of stephen NJ. White
or any other person. But the Examiner
serves notice on the convention that ii it in
dorses White it will bolt the party. Is that
the sort Of stuff that Democratic news
paper is made out of?
Does the Examiner have the making of
Federal Senators?
In what sort of predicament would the
Examiner be placed, that Journal asks, II
the convention should indorse White?
The convention is not going to indorse
White, but if it should wouldn't the Exam
ner have the Red Mule and Sh9rt-hOrn

Ito villa 10 fall back on?

Burned Up the Monarch"


The San Francisco Examiner has been
guilty of one of the most brutal cartoons
ever published. 1t depicts Hon. Stephen
NJ. White in Roman toga, contemplating
the Temple Of Democracy in flames, he hav-
ing applied to it the lighted torch which he
brandishes in one hand. The legend in
forms us that the figure is that of Eros
tratus, who fired the Ephesian dome. Vest
ing a Grecian in Roman costume may be
overlooked; but the omission of Shake
speare'S five lines on the subject shows that
the Examiner had due appreciation of the
weakness of its illustration. 1t would
hardly have done to have treated Jefferson
and Madison and jackson as ''pious fools"
nor will the parallel hold out in the coz
demnalion of Erostratus to eternal oblivion
by fOrbidding the mention of his name.
Mr.. Whites name will continue to dwell
upon the lips of the people, and he will be
heard in the hereafter.
