LONDON. August 29.-As South American
matters are the most absorbing foreign mat
ters of interest in Europe, the meeting of the
directors Of the Southwestern railway Of Vene-
zuea has developed the fact that the pros
pect of ia great South American railway Is

dent of VeneZeua is unable TO agree 10 the
payment of the guaranteed interest at tho
rate of 7 Der cent. The banks advised that 1t

was reduced tO per cent, and even II the

THE TABLES TURNED.
A Funny Youth Finds Himself
the Victim of His Own Wit.

William Feeley, who was charged with
vagrancy before Judge Morley yesterday
morning. related a little practical joke and
its results. in the course of which the laugh
was Enthusiastically turned against the joker.
1t appeared that laboring man living on
the Barbary Coast, near the abode OF Feeley.
who is nominally IL box-sawyer, is fond of
retiring early, and as Feeley is nothing if
not a joker. he conceived the intensely
funny idea of scOOping out the sand be-
meath the laborer's house, under which he
was to crawl and keep the tenant awake by
a sue ession of mysterious noises.
Elated with the drollness of this scheme,
he jOyfully crawled into his hole about 10
o'clock one night and proceeded to carry out
his programme. The occupant of the house,
shrewdly divining the trick and its perpetra-
tor, decided to take hand in the fun him
SELF and with his shovel calmly stopped up
the entrance of Feeley's tunnel, so that the
joker was obliged to remain in his exceed
lngly uncomfortable position until o'clock
on the following morning, when he was ar
rested by the officer OF the beat.
The defendant admitted, when on trial,
that the point of his little joke had become
rather dulled and that the laugh was with
his intended victim, but upon promising to
joke no more, Judge Morley, who found him
guilty of vagrancy, as charged, suSpende ed
sentence for two weeks to test the per-
manence of mis- promised gravity.

JESSIE STREET CLEARED.
Owen ConnolIy's Shanty and TenaI
Forcibly Removed,

Owen Conno1ly's Shanty and Tenant
Forcibly Removed.
There are no further evidences Of Owen
Connolly, the squatter. on that portion Of
Jessie street, just west of Tenth. The
singing rebuke that Street Superintendent
Glleran got in the Street Committee on
Thursday at the hands of Supervisor
Burlng inspired him with new courage and
new ambition, so at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon he descended on the premises like
hawk on a rat, and two hours later no one
would have suspected that Connolly or any
body else had ever Obstructed that particu-
lar portion Of Jessie street
The tence erected by Connolly had been
knocked down several days before, but
there still remained a homely, One-rOomed
board shanty, tenanted by an old woman,
who was paying the eXOrbtant monthly
rental of 81. Gillerans first reason for not
molesting her " hen the order was issued
was the complaint that the old woman was
sick. But as time wore on she got no
better, and il became apparent that the sick
plea was only ruse. She appeared as well
as ever except when the authorities were
around.
When the Street Department officials
raided the shanty aud set the old lady, bag
and baggage in the adjoining lot she took
on " at great rate. During the whole time
that they were engaged moving her traps
she Joined in as best her feeble strength
would permit, but cried every minute as
though her last nope on earth had fed.
The shanty once cleared the work of
leveing began, and two hours after the
raid there wasn't sign of an obstruction
on that portion of Jessie street.

Vigorous Protest Against Its Establish
ment in Richmond.
Leon SlOss, John R. JarbOe, F. S. Chad
bourne, Z. r. Lilienthal and w. A. Fisher,
representing the Trustees Of the Hahne-
mann Hospital, applied to the Police and
Health Committee of the Board of Super
vtsOrs yesterday for permission to maintain
the establishment on Block J of the Rich
mOnd District bounded by Fourteenth and
Fifteenth avenues, Lake street and the
Preside.
a large delegation representing the Point
LObos Improvement Club, armed with 4
formidable protest, arrayed itself against the
petitioners and signifcd a determination not
to have hospital in that or any other Point
LObos neighboThOOd. The delegates said
that extensive and costly Improvements on
Lake street are under way and many ele-
giant buildings will soon be erected. 1t is
their ambition to make that district an ex-
tension Of Pacific Heights. How fatal it
would be TO their interests, then, to have a
hospital planted in their midst?
The petitioners urged that the institution
would be an elaborate and handsome affair
and purely in the interest of charity 1t
would be conducted in exact compliance
with all sanitary regulations and no fault
whatever could be found with it.
Supervisor Aver moved that action on the
petition be deferred for one year. His rea-
son for the delay was that the site is so To-
Gated that it would be impossible for some
time TO arrange proper drainage system
for the hospital. The motion was carried.
Permission was given to the Kings
Daughters 10 take possession of the Old
PEOPLES Home property at North Beach
until the expiration Of the lease, eighteen
months hence.

petition of property-owners for an extension

A Fat, Jolly Chinese Boy Held for an
Assault to Murder.
zee On Die, the Chinaman arrested about
a month ago for striking Lee Yu Quen on
the head with a small bar of iron varying
in length from two to six inches, according
to the testimony of the various witnesses,
was up for preliminary examination before
Judge Rix yesterday on the charge of as
sault with an intent to murder.
The accused is a fat, jolly looking boy,
whose appearance is indicative of an abun-
dance of good nature and who would never
be suspected Of a murderous assault The
complaining witness is a self-styled physic-
ian, 62 years Of age, whose gray hair is very
scanty, and whose queue begins to look tired
of living. he rejoices in vilainous cGun-
tenance, which would render him much
more liable to suspicion as highlander than
his reputed assailant.
1t appeared that there had been soma dis
pute between them regarding a small finan-
cial transaction at an early hour one even
ing, terminating in mutual determinations
and the complaining witness adds in his re-
celving wounds on his face, which now seem
to be very slight scratches.
The defendant then quickly HE'D him
home, was speedily arrested, and has since
February ODD been confined to Jail awaiting
examination upon the testimony adduced.
Die was held to answer in bonds of $500.
