The Rival Factions In San Francisco Try
ing to Exterminate Each Other.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11.-Terror reigns
in the Chinese quarter Of this city. The
members of the Suey Ong Tong company
and Of the Hop Sing Tong society are on
the lookout to take each others lives. The
gauge Of battle was thrown down the 1st,
when Wong Fook Choy was shot and killed
in the Washington street theater by Dick All
Ting while defending an actor from black
mail. The murderer who was a member of
the Tuey Ong Tongs, escaped. Bah Guy, of
the latter society, was shot and killed on
Washington street the Sd, and a comrade
Hi Choy Pu, was set upon and badly beaten
at the same time. Not content with taking
a life for the one which they had lost, the
Hop Sing Tongs exacted another, and the
night of election day Hank All Voc was shot
and now lies at the receiving hospital in
dying condition. With the exception of the
first murderer, the detectives are at sea as
to who did the shooting. The Chinese consul
has addressed an order to the warning or

from quarreling. but Detectives Cox and
GtcIIuuTI, vino hjlyD ChUrgG OF the Chinese

shooting ARRAYS will result before the two
societies will consider that full justice has
been melted out.

OSHKOSH, Wis, Nov. 1l.-"Yes, sir, you

This was the statement to the Daily
Northwestern of democrat who stands high
in the party councils and who is one of the
acknowledged leaderspf democracy in this
city. The gentleman also declared that
Geo. w. Pratt would see that this city was
placed in a district which should safely be
democratic by large majority, and further
that the admirers of the mayor of Oshkosh
need have no fear, that his honor would
not have the state gerrymandered SO that
he might be elected to congress from this
district.
you may be sure continued the
speaker, ''that he will never let such a
chance slip through his fingers.
1t is also stated that Mr.. Pratt will not
be the only one who will profit by the pro-
posed redstricting OF the state as the in
crease in the population Of Wisconsin en-
titles the state to one more congressman,
which fact will enable the democrats to cut
things finer, and to their great advantage.

Milwaukee county is almost entitled to
two congressman, and by splitting the
county and adding a portion Of Ozaukee or

be made. The old First district is sure to

Eighth, in order to get rid of Haugen.
This assembly district can be remodeled

from the changing OF the senatorial dis

Fourth wards will be made districts by
themselves, 1t is thought, to insure two

will be combined to make one less certain
republican district. The Eleventh district
will doubtless be changed to get the repub-

Tor United States senator. Gov Hill felt
that he could afford to DO generous. pos
sessed as he was with an abiding faith In
the ability Of the republicans 10 hold their
legislative majority. So the word went out
through the state TO the democratic county
commit teemen that the governor was heart
and soul in the effort to capture the assem-
bly, 50 hat he might among other things
reward his friend, the Hon. Mr.. Weed.
Even the democratic state committees
labored under this sort OF hallncination.
so cleverly had David ri Hill dissembled
his feelings; and Mr.. Weed, being In the
fght to win il possible, aided the state
committee with all the resources at his
command.
When election day had passed and it was
seen that the unexpected had happened,
then 1t was that the governor realized the
embarrassing nature OF his position. He
wanted the United States senatorship, now
that there really was one to be had. Mr..
Weed could wait ante election promises,
and protestations must be considered all
ways as more or less Plckwickian. There
fore the governor hastily rearranged his
political program, got one of the New York
city newspapers to boom his senatorial
prospects, and from the executive chambers
set about pulling the wires for his own ele-
walton TO the senatorship. In the event of
being successful of course he need not re-
sign the gubernatorial Office until ayear
from next month, and at the same time he
can replenish his exchequer by drawing the
senatorial perquisites from next March,
while he also appropriates the stipend al
lowed the executive of New York. The
prospect is certainly alluring.

Natural Gas.

A most remarkable feature conceded
with the development of the petroleum
industry is presented by the utilization.
within the last few years, of the vast
supplies of natural infammable gas fur
nished by the oil fields. In America
this remarkable gas supply was for
long time only used locally: but before
the close of 1885 its conveyance to a
distance by pipes, for illuminating and
heating purposes, had assumed large
proportions, one of the companies in
Pittsburg having lain 1873 miles of pipes
of various sizes, through which gas was
supplied equivalent in heating value to
3,650,000 tons Of coal per annum. Since
then the consumption in and around
Pittsburg has probably been at least
trippled. The effect Of the change
from coal gas to natural gas has been
most marked. Formerly the sky was
constantly obscured by conopy OF
dense smoke; now the atmosphere is
clear, and even white paint may with
impunity be employed for the house
fronts

She was sighted here at s this morning,

ON THE SUPREME BENCH.
Where wisconsin LAWYERS May Ask Har.
rison to Seat senator Spooner.

Mn.wAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 12.--In letter to
the Sentinel Moses. M. Strong, the pioneer
lawyer of Wisconsin and president of the
State Bar association. proposes meeting
of members of the bar in Milwaukee,
Wednesday, Nov. 10, to give formal ex-
preston to the wish that President Harri-
son might appoint Senator Spooner to the
vacant seat on the United States supreme
bench. There is no doubt the members of
the bar would be glad to unite in such ac-
ton and Senator Spooner's conspicuous
ability and close relations to the president
would seem to make the appointment pos
sible. There is no one in the city who is
authorized to speak for the senator, but
those nearest him do not think he has any
aspirations to seat on the bench.
They expect that ne viii resume his law
practice, which was always lucrative, as
soon as his term OF Office expires in March
next, and it is said that he will probably
come to Milwaukee to reside, as the me-
tropolis of the state would furnish him
much wider opportunity and much more
convenient point from which to conduct his
business than Hudson. his present home.

WANT A FREE FIELD FOR MILLS.
Combinations on the Speakership in the
Interest of Opposing Aspirants.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 1t.-Thc at
tempt is already making to freeze out all
the other speakership candidates and have
free field for Roger O. Mills. The partf-
sans of the Texan are trying to show the
would-be candidates that Mills is bound 10
be chosen in the end, that his position in
the party entities him to the cancns nominal
tion without a struggle, and that it will be
much the best all around if time Is not
wasted in talking of other democrats,
whose ambition will be raised only to be
disappointed. It is claimed that Mills in
his months of campaigning never closed his
weather eye to the political probabilities
of the Fifty-second congress, and that in
every district where he spoke he secured q
pledge of support from the democratic cam
didate. 1t is also stated with much truth
that the Cleveland following and the tariff
reform element generally will be enlisted
in favor of Mills and will make opposition
useless. There is good deal of practical
sense i'm this, yet the other leading demo-
Gratis won't look at 1t in that light. They
know that Mills is personally unpopular
with the great majority of those who served
with him and they think this unpopularity
will spread among the new members. so

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 1.-THE demos
Gratis are already quarreling over the tariff
bill which they expect TO pass in the Fifty
second congress. Some want TO take mp the
Mills bill and put ii through again without
change. Others won't be satisfied with any
thing short OF general free trade bill.
some Of the extremists OF two years ago
have learned something, and they arc now
urging a moderate course. For instance,
Senator Vest, of Missouri, In 1888, was rally
ing the tariff reform forces to "a fight to
the death against the infamous protection
legislation. Now he warns his party
friends against getting tangled up in gem
eral tariff bill. He says the proper course
for the democratic majority in the house
will be to pass a few special bills
and send the measures over to the
senate where, in spite of the repub-
lican majority, they may command the
support OF the moderate-tarff republicans
from the west and be passed. This advice
is so sensible that it hardly seems as though
1t could have come from Vest good
many western republicans would accept
such a policy on bipartisan grounds.
The trouble is that the democratic senators
with whom the tariff is a local issue would
at once take to cover and probably defeat
legislation. They are always safe in yot-
ing for a general tariff bill, but if it comes
to separate measures they would be in deep
water at once. Free raw material has been
one of the tariff reformers' war-cries, and
it is even more popular In the niannfactur-
ing east than in the agricultural west. But
a single bill making ore free and another
measure sweeping away the tax on coal
would make German. of Maryland, kenna
and Faulkner, of West Virginia, Blodgett
and Mcpherson, of New Jersey. Brice of
Ohio, and few other democratic senators
