CARVED BY THE PARSON.
jim HALL SEVERELY CUT BY HIS
MANAGER.
The Pugilist Struck at the Parson With a
Bottle, and the Latter Retaliated With
Lemon Knife, Stabbing His Fist and
Gashing His Throat.

+ Mt. CLEMENS, Mich, August 24.-Last
night Jim Hall, the Australian pugilist,
made an attack on his manager, Charles
E. Davies, whose clergymanlike appear
ance has won for him the soubri-
quet OF "Parson." The encounter
was the outcome of quar-
rel in the bar-room OF hotel.
After few words, Hall struck viciously
at Davies with bottle. His arm was
caught by bystander, but he at
tempted to repeat the blow. Davies
grabbed lemon knife lying
on the bar, stabbed Halls powerful
fist, and lunged at him again with the
knife, striking him in the throat and
cut a terrible cash from the chin to
the ear. "You've done me Charley,
but stay by mel" exclaimed Hall, losing
further desire for pugilistic encounter.
He will recover.

A Constitutional Test Case That Failed

"A CONSTITUTIONAL TEST Ease InaC F0fl0O
of Trial.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 24.-The case
of Gee Chong Tong against the Southern
Pacific company came up in the circuit
court today. Attorney-General Hart
moved to dismiss the suit on the ground
that the case is collusive and brought
merely to test the constitutionality of
the state law providing that Chinese
residents must have certificates show
ing chem to be such. He claimed that
the law did not 20 into effect for year,
and that no criminal prosecution could
hold against any agent of railroad
company who should refuse to sell a
ticket until the year expired.
After some discussion by counsel, JUS
tice Beatty said it appeared that the
plaintiff is asking the court to rule on
the validity of the entire law. He had a
decided opinion as to the validity of the
law, and as to its effect upon treaty
rights, and as to it's constitutionality.
He would not, however, express his
opinion now. The law in question spec
ifes that Chinaman is not in default
under one year, and if this is 80, what
right has the railroad company to refuse
to sell the tickets asked for?
Judge Beatty sustained the demurrer,
and leave was given to file exceptions
within ten days. This closed the hear
ing. The constitutionality of the law
was left untouched.

The Cable Road to Absorb the
Electric.
Will a Compromise to That Effect Be
the OutcOme2
Senator Fair Has Not Cancelled the E1ec-
trio COntract-That Is a Matter
That Remains to Be
Determined.
Associated Press Dispatches.


SAN FRANCISCO, August 24.-The Ex-
aminer says that an arrangement is to
be made by the Pacific rolling mills,
whereby the Pacific cable road OF Los
Angeles will absorb the rival electric
road in the same city. Both the cable
and the electric roads made contracts
with the Pacific rolling mills for
machinery and materials, and gave
bonds in part payment therefor. 1t is
stated that these roads are competitors,
and that their tracks run parallel for
several miles, and as the result of com.
petition, the companies would not be
able to pay the interest on
the bonds. Senator Fair is now
president of the Pacific rolling mills,
and his friends say he intends now to
cancel all contracts with the electric
railway, and that the cable company
will buy it in. The president OF the
California bank today said II made
those contracts with the electric
company, and l consider that
their money was good. We
have had no meeting to cancel the con-
tracts. Senator Fair did insist, and very
properly, that the electric company
should cut its bonds down to $1,000, 900
from $2,500,000. That was proper
measure, and was carried out. AS to
the cancellation of the contracts, that is
a matter which is yet to be deter
mined"
s. T. Whittell, of the rolling mills,
said tonight that compromise would
be made in all probability by which the
electric road would be absorbed by the
cable road, and that the McDonalds and
Fairs would adjust their differences in
the matter. He seemed to think that
the entire uproar was the result Of the
rivalry that had existed between the two
roads. E

New York, August 24.-The Herald
says !. The battle at Vina Del Mar beach
was only stopped by darkness last
night. There was no decisive result
reached. Both armies rested today to
get themselves in the best possible con-
dition for the final struggle, which must
soon determine the mastery of Chile.
Balmaceda's line of defense yesterday
was strongly fortified, and was under
the range of Fort Callao guns. Many of
his troops are recruits, but there is
a leaven OF veterans among them. Time
after time the rebels dashed against the
lines of government troops, only to be
repulsed with great bloodshed, and re-
peated attacks were made with no de-
cided advantage on either side. Under
cover of flag OF truce the ambulance
and hospital corps were busy during the
night caring for the wounded. When
morning broke, it was discovered that
neither party was in a position to as
sumo the offensive, and practical
truce today, with no fighting, has been
the result, \, H. \, -. - s.sa.s 4. A J. -

A village Fire.

WHEATLAND, CAL, August 24.-The
entire business part OF the town of Sheri-
dan was destroyed by fire last night.
About fifteen buildings were consumed.
The fire originated in the Parrott hotel,
owned by Mrs. Martin. All escaped.
One man, section hand, was seriously
burned. The flames jumped across the
street and caught range of business
houses. A south wind was blowing,
and before the contents of the building
could be removed, they were mass Of
flames. The losses aggregate about $751;
600. The depot and its contents were
destroyed. All the mail in the postofice
was lost. The origin of the fire is not
known, but is supposed to be due to a
lamp exploding.

CHICAGO, August 24.-There is appar-
emily trouble growing again between
the national commission of the worlds
fair and the local directory, and lively
times are looked for when the national
commission meets week from tomor-
row. The first row will undoubtedly de-
velop when Director General Davis re-
ports to the commission that prac-
tically nothing has been done in
the departments of horticulture and
liberal arts. When the commissioners
ask what the cause Of the delay is, they
will be told that the directors have re-
jected three men in succession who were
nominated for horticultural chief, and
the fourth nomination, that of Mr..
Samuels, OF Kentucky, has been hung
up until the directors determine
whether it be safe to reject
him also. The local board is un-
derstood to have declared that it will
have California man for the place, pre-
ferably Shorb, of Los Angeles The
director.general, however, has the power
of nomination. To force him to name
Mr.. Shorb, the directors may reject all
other nominations for the office.
With all this before them the commits
sioners will probably call upon the di-
rectors to explain why they are delaying
the horticultural department by failure
to ratify the appointment Of chief. If
a satisfactory answer is not given, the
commission has it in it's power to make
things very unpleasant for the local
board, and probably will do so.
Commissioner De Young says the
manufactures and liberal arts building is
80 arranged that it will not contain
room enough for the departments that
are to 90 under its roof. The classifica-
ton committee has accepted De Young's
! views and passed resolution endorsing
his figures, and recommending that the
commission ask for another building in
which to place the liberal arts and
ethnology exhibita.
The contractors at the grounds are
making notable progress with the con-
struction of the work. The buildings
for agriculture, administration, electric
ity, horticulture, mines. manufactures,
transportation and the woman's build
ing are under way, and the latter will
be under roof within fortnight.

: NEITHER PARTY Idle,

Neither party has been idle during the
day. Scouting parties from the insur-
gent army have been securing the
country for supplies, and one of them
cut the railroad to Santiago at Salto.
The government forces have been
strengthening their lines and man9uvre-
ing to get into position which will
preclude any successful attempt on the
part of the enemy to get into the rear of
the city of Valparaiso.
It is generally believed that General
Canto, commander of the rebels, will
attempt flank movement when he re-
sumes operations. and this the Balma-
cedists are attempting to Illustrate.
sTUPENDoUs TASK.
In the face of an army equal in valor,
as well armed and equipped, and at
least equal. if not superior in num-
bers, to force the line of the forts
with their heavy guns, manned by ex-
pert and veteran gunners, defending
Valparaiso from the northeast, consist
ing OF Forts Callao, Poderto, Andes and
Valparaiso, is task to daunt the most
confident general. If by any means
Balmaceda's army can be f1anked
and the insurgents can make
good a position in the rear OF
the city, they will, in the opinion
of the foreign naval officers here, do it.
General Canto is veteran of the Peru
Wan war; he knows the country, and
knows that if he can get his heavy guns
on the hills back OF the city, he will not
only have position which is practi-
cally impregnable from the attacks OF
any force which can be brought against
him, but which will enable him to bat
ter down the city at his will.
VALPARAISO ALMOST DESERTED.
Valparaiso is quiet today. All the
business houses, offices and stores are
qclosed. Everybody who can do so has
Z left the city, and few people are seen on
the streets.
