FRENCH EXTREMISTS
KEEP UP THE ALSACE-LORRAIN
PASSPORT AGITATION.
They are not Satisfied With the Deputies
Action in Shelving M. Laur's Notion
Minister of War De Freycinet Threat
ems to Resign.

PARIS, July 1S.-The vote of the
chamber of deputies yesterday, express
ing confidence in the government, has
not satisfied the extremists. who are
continuing agitation in regard to the
Alsace-Lorraine passport regulations,
and who have not ceased their attempts
TO incit feelings against the govern
ment. The extremist party has resolved
to call public meeting to protest
against what they term the treachery
and cowardice of the government.
The Chamber of deputies to-day pass
ed the entire new tariff measure.
The chamber rejected the proposal
made by De Freycinet, president of the
council and minister OF war, to grant
s120, 900 to the Ecole Polytechnique. AS
result, the session of the chamber sus-
pended and cabinet council was sum-
moned to consider the sitnation. 1t was
reported that De Freycinet had decided
to tender his resignation. But the cabi-
net ministers having represented to De
Freycinet that the rejection by the
chamber of the credit asked by them for
the Ecole polytechnique, did not imply
want OF confidence in the government,
he decided not to resign.

AN OUTRAGE.
THE COURTS BEING USED BY
CHINESE SLAvERS.
Pretty Nee Young Arrested on the Eve of
Her Wedding-A Case Which Seems to
Call for Stern Interference.

Nee Young was yesterday arraigned
before Justice Owens on charge OF
petty larceny, and her trial was set for
July 22d. The defendant is very pre-
possessing young Chinese girl, and from
all appearances is being made the victim
of conspiracy formed for the purpose
of abducting her and placing her in one
of the dens of vice In this city. In the
latter part of June, Chinaman named
All Sing, through Attorney Grant, OBJ
tanned warrant for the arrest OF Nee
Young for stealing silk coat valued at
500. The warrant was never served till
Friday, when Sing went to Deputy
Constable Harry Johnston and
asked him to accompany him to San
Diego and arrest Young.
2 Johnston was under the impression
that the accused was man, and agreed
to go along. On arriving at San Diego,
the Cbinaman put the officer in car
riage, drove him long distance. and
and finally, pulling up at Longs house,
pointed the girl out. Johnston was
considerably surprised when he saw
that the defendant was a girl, and at
first was unwilling to make the arrest,
but Ling insisted and Young was taken
iuto custody. She strenuously main
tanned her innocence when the warrant
was read and begged the officer not to
take her away, as she was to be married
that very night.
Johnson brought the girl to this city
yesterday. On the trip up friend
accompanied Young, but he had no
sooner arrived in this city than he also
was arrested on warrant sworn out by
Sing. The lover of the girl was likewise
taken into custody yesterday at San
Diego on another warrant sworn out by
Ling or his accomplices.
When Young was taken into court
yesterday, Ling came up smiling, and
wanted to put up the 500 bail required
and take her away, but Judge Owens
blocked his little scheme and frustrated
the whole plan by turning the girl over
to Mrs. Watson until the trial.

AN EXCITING CHASE.
A Husband Appeals to the Sheriff fol
Protection.

3IOICCtlOus
The sight of man running excitedly
up Commercial street towards Main,
closely followed by respectfully dressed
woman, who was making the best time
possible, was sufficient to draw large
crowd to the spot at about noon yester-
day. The chase was suddenly termin-
ated at the corner of Requena and Main
streets by the woman falling prone upon
the sidewalk, but the man continued
his hot pace till he reached the sheriff's
Office in the old courthouse, when he
rushed in and demanded protection.
The simple explanation of this episode
is that Mrs. Francisco Yndart was en-
deavoring to get her husband, who is
better known as Pancho Coronel, to
accompany her to San Ruenventura,
and had succeeded in getting him as
far as the depot, at the corner of Com
mercial and Alameda streets, when he
broke and ran. The couple have been
married about eight years, but
"Pancho" has not been living with his
wife for some years past. OF late he
has been up in Washington territory
but few months ago he returned to
this city, and has since studiously avoid
ed Mrs. Yndort. Mrs. Ydort decided
to get him away from the city if possi-
BILE. With this object in view she asked
him to accompany her and her mother
to the Commercial street station and
bid them good bye, as they were going
to Ventura. Yndort complied, and
when he arrived at the station, Mrs.
Yndort grasped him by the coat collar
and said, ''You must come along too.''
Yndort believing an attact was to be
made to carry him off, broke and ran.
Mrs. Yndort followed, but tainted on
the way and had to be carried into a
store and revived. The affair was after
wards patched up amicably at the sher-
ifs Office.

LETTER BAG.

why Not Accord Them Belligerent
Rights?
EDITORS HERALD: The genius of the
HERALD for being right, and OF holding
up the mirror to enlightened sentiment
upon public matters, is not often more
conspicuously shown than in it's COM
mentaries upon the attitude of the gov
ernment of the United States towards
the strife in Chile.
With congress arrayed against the
president. the question of determining
which really represents the government
of Chile would present to any but the
giant minds that at present direct the
policy OF this nation, some doubt and
perplexity; and the task OF deciding in
favor of the latter would not seem to be
made easier by the fact that the people
of Chile who are free to elect espouse
the cause of congress; but the question
go difficult to others is so easy to the
aforesaid giant minds as not even to
suggest the according OF belligerent
rights to the so-called insurgents, even
by way OF compromise Of judgment.
At what point in it's progress the
struggle of free people to put down a
usurper, plunderer and murderer, who
has overturned the form and substance
OF government, becomes something more
than an insurrection, and it's partici-
pants become entitled to recogni-
ton as belligerents. would seem
to be pertinent question, but one
which our department OF state, absorbed
in negotiating reciprocity" treaties with
Kamtchatka and the Fiji islands finds no
disposition to determine. The forces of
Balmaceda are made up OF a large part of
the regular army-ever the adherents OF
tyrants-political sycophants whose
fortunes depend upon the dictator, and
conscripts compelled to fight for a cause
with which they feel no sympathy. OPP
posed to these are the navy, in chief
part and those citizens who constitute
the wealth, intelligence, birth and
patriotism of Chile; and these have for
many months more than held their own,
capturing forts and cities, extending
their authority over large portions OF
the country and performing deeds OF
arms on land and,seathat have challeng-
ed the admiration OF all who appreciate
valor.
Is it strange that the sympathy OF the
American people,, never reused for an
unjust cause, should 60 out to these
patriots struggling to preserve in their
country the institution OF popular gov
ernment, the establishment of which
in ours has enscribed so many death
less names upon the pages OF history
Is it not strange that the government at
Washington should be SO out ,,s accord
with general public sertimentf All,
pity 'tis, tits true.
How humiliating to those of us who
have been taught to believe that it is
one of the missions of our republic to
guaranty, so far at least as moral
support and encouragement may 60,
form and substance OF Republican gov
ernment on this continent, is the spec
tacle of the administration, not merely
withholding countenance from those
who strive against usurpation, but
actually joined with the tyrant in
leagued oppression. To what base pur-
pose are we come! Our government
given up to reciprocity in birds eggs,
tonga beans and shark-tooth collars.
while human sympathy is "fed to
british beasts.'

Some Claims of Mr. MORTIMER,


EDITORS HERALD: 1 have read the
editorial in your issue of today's date
entitled Vice Consul Mortimer Again to
the Fore. You have been misinformed
as to the status of the L. J. Rose COM
pany and my connection with it; and as
to my advice to prospective English set
tiers in the Antelope valley. The facts
are briefly as follows: In 1885, at the
request OF Mr.. Rose, / made a report
and valuation of his property, which he
was then offering to sell for $500, 900,
and I stated in that report that the
property was worth that amount. The
promoters in London foated the COM
pany at $l,750, 900, of which fact l was
not aware until after the transaction had
been closed. The agent for the English
purchasers asked me to act as attorney
for the company some months before the
sale was completed and refused to do
80 on the ground that I was being paid
by Mr.. Rose for my report. Some time
after the sale was completed 1 found
that the property was costing the Eng
lish shareholders $1,75O,OOO, and
/ then placed the facts before
the shareholders. The result has been
that the promoters have given up their
stock, and the property stands the
shareholders but little more than the
amount Mr.. Rose asked ($700,000.) At
this figure the shareholders will recover
the amount invested with interest. In
regard to your statements about Ante
lope valley lands, I advised English
people not to purchase land in that val
ley without seeing it. And, notwith-
standing your expression of opinion
that this advice had resulted in loss to
persons who would otherwise have in
vested there, of rs per cent. per annum,
I still think the advice was good.
You're, etc., G. WHITE MORTIMER.
