The Y1eeror DESCRIBED.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-The Chronicle
TIen Tsien correspondent contributes a
long and able character sketch of the
Chinese statesman aud OF Gen. Ii Hung
Chang. The sketch contains the follow
ing: The v%iceroy's strength lies in his
reference. He is strong because Of his
office and stronger still by self conceal
meut. The whole court, even embassa
doris. would fear him as an enemy,
although he might lack all essential
powers. He is careful to claim that he
hates foreigners He merely uses them
as a means to an end. He picks their
brains and urges his subordinates to do
the same. He is a true opportupist. he
is regarded as a leader of the revolutionary
party even, should the orcasion arise. He
pretends to have but little knowledge of
the European languages in order to thus
gain adyantaf e over the foreign diplomats.
He is supposed to be worth flO,O0O.0OO.
He is a teetotaler, but has no belief in
religion"

Think 1t n Trrnrnc Affair.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. % Core
spondence of the Associated Press from
Santiago. Chile, under date OF Nov. 81,
says the feeling against Americans is SO
strong ever since the Congressional party
came into power that the majority of poo
pie are disposed to regard the killing of a
few American sailors as a very trifing
affarr and express much surprise that the
United States should have taken official
notice Of the matter, which they speak of
lightly as a sailors fight.
The report of the intendeute of
Valparaiso says there were 1000 men
engaged in this sailors fight He
gives this figure to show the police were
powerless to quell the disturbance, as the
correspondent says as a matter of fact
there was not any where near half that
number. and the police found amrlo
opportunity to stop the trouble. For
sometime following the attack there was
a strong feeling among the crew OF the
Baltimore aud the men would have liked
to send another party ashore better
equipped. OF the thirty-six American
sailors arrested at the time of the fight,
not one had a weapon more formidable
than a sailors jack knife.
The correspondent says President
Mont has gwen no special indication Of
any sympathy with the general i'll feeling
IN Chile against the United States. 10 a
recent interview with an Associated Press
correspondent he expressed the hope
that all difficulties should be settled
amicably, as he didn't believe the people
of either nation desired any trouble. He
also expressed his disapproval of the ac-
cusatIons and insinuatiOns made against
the American minister by certain Chileans
in the United States protesting to speak

CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
Two Meetings Broken Up by Pole
Authorities.

Two Meetings Broken Up by Police
Authorities.
CHICAGO, Nov. I2.-Within a bombs
throw of the scene of the Haymarke ct
riot armed anarchists tonight again met
Chicago police. The result was igno-
minous defeat for the reds
A mass meeting of the most radical
element was announced to be held this
evening i'll Greif's Hall, in West Lake
street, a place celebrated i'll annals of
Spies and Parsons followers.
The decision unexpectedly displayed
by the authorities last night in com
pelling the Anarchist gathering in West
Twelfth. street to hoist the stars and
Stripes had a disconcerting effect, and at
the last moment tonight it was decided
to make the gathering secret. and to ad-
nit only few Of the most trusted spirits
Accordingly the master of ceremonies,
Thomas Geif, proprietor of the saloon be-
low the hall, announced that his place
upstairs had been previously engaged.
thus dismissing the general rabble. Those
who could be depended upon went up
stairs. There were gathered many
OF these who were leaders be-
fore the Haymarkaet massacre.
Speeches were made in English and Ger
man, and the enthusiasm was great. The
American flag was not there. It was
thought the police had been completely
hoodwinked. IN this, however. the reds
were ut fault.
4 detective had been. for several days
cultivating the acquaintance of the ora
tors. He was admitted to the meeting,
and before long got word out to Inspector
Lewis, at the DesplaineS-street station
that infiammatOry speeches were being
made; that number Of the inmates We're
displaying arms and boasting Of the use
they would be put to in case the police
lntertered. In the saloon below 200 men
were gathered, and speeches were being
made scarcely less incendiary than those
above. 1t was evident that trouble might
occur at any moment.
Suddenly, at signal given by the de-
tective in the meeting, the police made a
RAID. Fifty men III plain clothes guarded
the rear of the building and allowed no
persons to leave. Inspector Lewis and
Captain Mahonay, at the head Of hum
dred uniformed officers, marched to
the front door, taking the meet
ing completely by surprise. Pro-
prietor Greif saw the blue coats. and
attempted TO shut the doors in their faces.
His effort was futile. AS soon as q blow
from club shattered the glass, a vigor-
Gus kick burst the door in. and q double
line Of officers poured into the room.
Men who a moment before had been
boasting of their intention to hurl def
ance into the teeth of the Chicago police
made a rush for the rear doors. but at the
sight of guns there displayed halted, and
with one or two exceptions showed every
symptom of cowardice
a raid was then made on the secret
meeting upstairs, and all who had weap-
ons were placed under arrest.

CLOSED ITS DOORS.
The California National Bank of San
Diego Suspends.

The California National Bank of San
Diego Suspends.
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 1.-THE California
National Bank of San Diego did not open
| its doors for business this morning. A
card displayed i'll the window explains as
! follows: lowing to continued shrinkage
in deposits and our inability to promptly
realize on notes and accounts, the bank
is temporarily closed"
The Bank Commissioner has now been
! sent for and will take charge on his ar
/ rival. Meantime no business can be
transacted. 1t is believed beyond ques-
! tion depositors will be paid in full. The
bank has advertised paid-up capital Of
| 100000 and surplus of 100000 j. w.
! Collins is President, D. T. Dare, Vice
! President and S. q. Hanenmale, Second
! Nice-President.
The announcement of the suspension
created profound sensation throughout
the city; but there is a general feeling of
! sympathy, and belief that the bank will
pay dollar for dollar. J. w. Collins. the
President, will not talk, and says every
! thing awaits investigation and the report
of the Bank Examiner.
| Late tonight it was learned as to the
| cause of the suspension that last Tuesday
I a certificate of deposit for $4,000 was pre-
oSAASNSA
Notices OF protest were prepared to be
! sent the indOrsers, but were held over to
! Wednesday, i'll the hope that the bank
! could meet the note Intimation was
| quietly given by someone to the City and
| County TreaSurers, who have respectively
! S45,5 800 and 500, 900 on deposit. The rumor
says they talked of Withdrawing, but
were induced to leave them. Later on
they determined to do SO, but were met
this morning with the sign of suspen-
! sion.
1t is now said that a stringcncy on ac-
count OF the withdrawal of depositors
was the chief cause of the trouble much
having been withdrawn for purchase of
land throughout the country, especially
in irrigation districts, and much having
! gone north for wheat A kindly feeling
IS being expressed by the officials Of
other banks.
Bryant Howard of the Consolidated
Bank says the September statement
shows the California National to have
S2,0GO,OO0 in excess of assets. while the
liabilities TO depositors and bills are but
| slightly over S900,0 600. He cannot see how
depositorS can be losers ii the banks con-
dition is the same to-day.
There is no danger of a panic. Other
banks had demands but slightly in ex-
cess OF their usual business, and there is
a general feeling of confidence in the
managers of the closed bank.
The Bank Examiner is due Friday.

Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-Though at midnight
last night the great storm in England had
subsided, the storm is still prevailing in
Southwestern Ireland. Dispatches con-
tinue to be received giving details of the
havoc wrought along the coast by yes
terday's storm.
From Ramsgate, on the east coast of the
Isle of Thanet, Kent, four fishermen are
reported to have been drowned.
There is great excitement at Southport
on the Irish Sea, over the probable
drowning of the crew of the lifeboat
which went out yesterday to attempt to
save the crew of a vessel in distress off
that place. There is hardly any doubt
among those acquainted with the dangers
of the coast that the lifeboat foundered
and every soul in her found watery
graves.
Later reports from Southport state the
lifeboat reached the shore safely with all
on board. The lifeboat reached the spot
where the distressed vessel she started to
succor was last seen, but when she got
there all trace of the vessel had disap-
peared.
The steamer Hawarden Castle, engaged
in the coasting trade, was wrecked at the
mouth of the Mersey last night. She was
exposed to the full force of the gale. and
the seas sweeping over her. made it i'm
possible to live on her deck. The crew
took refuge in the rigging. All attempts
to rescue them were vain. This morn
ing four bodies were washed ashore
The White Star Line steamer Britannia
and the Inman Line steamer City of New
York sailed from Liverpool yesterday in
the teeth of the gale, and had terrible
passage to Queenstown. Quartermaster

MODESTO, Nov. 12.-Evidence for the
prosecution in the case of Rev. II. C. Gil
lingham was concluded at noon to-day.
The moderator ruled that the charges of
visiting San Francisco theaters where

tained his license to preach by fraud were
barred, as no evidence to substantiate
them had been introduced. This after
noon the defense introduced evidence in
his own behalf. a secret session was held
for two hours.
At this evening session the Moderator
suggested that defendant Gillingham was
conducting his case in manner which
prejudiced his own interests, and Rev
erends Lyon and Griffin OF the Presby-
terry were appointed to assist him. Three
witnesses testified to the bad reputation
for truthfulness OF James Thompson. one
of the witnesses for the prosecution.
