ASSAULTING TENANTS.

Threatening to Kill Him.

A Japanese Charges III. Abbott With
Threatening to Kill Him.
A jap named Rios Tanguchi, who is
proprietor of the Abbott restaurant on Pike
street, between Third and Fourth streets,
and S. Sherlock, who cooks at the same
place. were assaulted about 8 o'clock last
evening by FL. Abbott. the owner of the
block in which the restaurant is located.
Sherlock and the Jap went to
police headquarters about $50 o.
clock and asked protection against
Abbott, who they stated had half hour
before made a vigorous assault upon
them and had, they claimed. declared he
would kill them when an opportunity pre-
scented itself. The Jap said that Abbott
followed him out into the kitchen and.
while using most profane language, had
attempted to draw revolver upon him.
Both Sherlock and the Jap stated that
Abbott had on several previous occasions
committed the same assault, the cause for
which is explained by them as follows:
About three months ago the Jap pro-
cured from Abbott an eighteen months
lease of the restaurant at the rate of $50
per month. Abbott. it was stated, has
since decided that he has other use for the
building aud has taken the above method
to attempt soaring and getting rid of the
Jap.
Sherlock will today swear out warrant
for the arrest OF Abbott.

EXCITING STEAMBOAT RACE.
The State of Washington Defeated by the
Premier.


Premier.
A very exciting boat race took place last
evening between the steamers State of
Washington and the Premier. The
States schedule time for leaving Tacoma
is p ~, and regularly twice a week the
Premier leaves at the same time. The
boats have had several races during the
past few months, and it is said the swift
stern wheeler has generally come of victor.
Last night, however she met her Waterloo.
Shortly before S p. m. the steamers were
lying side by side at the Tacoma wharf.
From the great volume of black smoke
that issued from the tunnels of each
officers and crew moved about, it was APP
parent to the passengers that there was go
ing to be race for blood.
Wagers OF money were made by the male
passengers, while the same of gloves, ETC.,
were freely offered and accepted among the
ladies. The Premier whistle footed prompt
ly at 5 D. M, but as the State was not yet
ready the lines were not east of.
AT ten minutes past five the coarse
whistle Of the State was heard and i'm
mediately after she swung into the stream.
She quickly turned and was of for Seattle.
the Premier lost two or three hundred
yards in turning, but the State steamed
ahead slowly, waiting for her rival to come
up. Five miles from Tacoma the Premier's
bow was abreast Of the States stern, and
then came the contest between the feet
craft For over ten miles there was no
preceptible change in the positions of the
boats. The furnaces already filed with
wood and coal. were turned to q white heat
by the addition OF oil and other combust-
ible substances.
The passengers of both steamers were
wildly excited. Officers, crew and passengers
crowded the decks, waving handkerchiefs,
hats and parasols. and. in many instances
shouting themselves hoarse. Nearing Alki
point it was any body's race, although the
swift stern-wheeier had maintained its
lead. Before leaving the point, however.
those on board the leader were terribly dis
appointed to feel their steamer slowing
down, while the Premier, amidst the
shouts of those on board, passed by and
ahead. 1t was soon learned that the State
had run into quantity OF floating drift.
wood. and Captain Bailey, out of regard
for the safety of his vessel, was compelled
to slow down and close the race. 1t almost
made the passengers on board sick, how
ever, because every one felt as If their
steamer was q sure winner.
The State was full quarter of mile be-
hind before she could recover her speed
and the Premier steamed into the wharf at
Seattle fully an eighth of mile winner.
The Premier's time was one hour and
forty-6ve minutes and the States few
minutes over.
The captains of both vessels deny that
there was race, but it was very plain it
was nothing else. The State OF Washington
will endeavor to redeem her lost prestige
probably next Friday evening.

Trouble About the Census.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July s.-A Pioneer Press
Pierre. s. OAK. special. says: News from
the Cheyenne Indian agency confirms the
surmises of trouble at that point over the
taking of the census of red men. About
1900 Indians were present at the agency
and created an open disturbance today
when it was found that no rations could be
issued them before Thursday. The delay
in issuing rations was caused by the fact
that cattle had not been driven in from the
range. thus leaving the Indians 70 almost
starye from Monday until tomorrow. The
Indians also object to being counted in the
census, and the census will be taken with
great difficulty.
The condition of the Indians is quite de-
plo:able. Yesterday twelve died of con-
sumption snd lung fever during lapse of
five hours, and the physician at the agen-
cy had many more serious cases on his
hands. The sickness prevails almost en-
tirely among the semi-ci- Lied, while the
others are singuIarly free from the disease.

LOCKE RICHARDSON'S RECITAL.
"Julius Cesar Given With Great Sue.
cess Last Evening.

Julius Sesar Uiven with Great Sue
cess Last Evening.
Mr.. Locke Richardson, the Shakespear-
ian reader, gave the first of a series of
readings at the Unitarian church last
night. Expectation was naturally high.
Mr. Richardson is reputed to be the very
best reader OF Shakespeare's works now
before the public, his renditions every
where in the Engliss-speaking world hav-
ing been received with unanimous
favor. The subject of last nights
recital was the play OF Julius
Cesar" which Mr.. Richardson gave in its
entirety. Ii was really a great treat.
While, of course, much that gives interest
to dramatic rendition was lacking, still
the reading was scarcely less entertaining
than full dramatic performance. Mr..
Richardson's rendition was intelligent. re-
fined and spirited to the last degree-in
deed in was absolute perfection in its way.
The audience was large. entirely filling the
church, and there was almost GREATNESS in
terest from the beginning to the end of the
entertainment
