A WITTY CHINAMAN.
He Attempts to smuggle Opium Into Prison
in Pics Heads

He Attempts to Smuggle Opium Into Prison
in Pigs Heads.
SANFRANCIsoo, July THE real cause that
prompted Fong All Chung, the Chinese bur-
glar, to make three desperate attempts to
end his life at the city prison and county
Jail came to light yesterday morning. The
case is but another illustration OF the ex-
tremity to which an opium f1end will 60
when deprived of the drug. Chung is vic
tim Of the opium habit and believed that he
could not live without the drug. His case
also illustrates the fact that the Chinese
watch the newspapers. The story of the
prisoners three attempts to hang himself
was no sooner published yesterday morning
than an inspector ofthe Ling Yung Company,
to which Chung belongs, called at the Jail to
see the desperate man. After short and
earnest conversation the inspector disap-
peared. After brief interval a second
Chinese appeared at the prison door. He
had no desire to enter. but presented three
small pigs heads to the turnkey and asked
that the delicacies, for the Chinese so regard
them, be given to Chung. The officer receiv-
ed the pork, examined 1t and passed it.
Chiet Hadeler and Commissioner Stair ex-
amined the package, however, and were not
a little surprised at what they found. The
cunning Chinese had stuffed the three pigs
heads with opium. Not only were the
nostrils stuffed full. but in places the skin
had been cleverly raised and the drug
injected underneath. 1t ID needless to say
that the pork did not reach the prisoner.

WAR AGAINST SMOKE.
sixty Suits to Be Brought In Chicago for Its
Prevention.

sixty Suits to Be Brought In Chicago for Its
Prevention.
CHICAGO, July 7.-Sixty suits against vio-
lators of the smoke ordinance will be
brought next week by Secretary Phelps, of
the Society for the Prevention of Smoke.
For awhile after the formation of the soci-
ETY. the smoke nuisance was mitigated.
Since the opening of the Masonic Temple,
the Great Northern Hotel, the Ashland
building and several other sky-scrapers the
nuisance has grown until now it is said to
be worse than ever The officers of the So
ciety have spent good deal of time labor
ing with the proprietors of smoky chimneys
and have urged the use of various devices.
In some instances al improvement has
been effected. In the majority of cases,
expostulations, and these are the cases in
which suits will be entered.
When the society began operations the
officials conferred with the railroad man.
ayers with view to doing away with the
smoky engines. Some changes were prom
ised, but so far few have been effected. The
society has given the companies until Sep
tember to reform. After that wholesale
prosecutions will be entered.
Yesterday was a clear day with light
southeasterly wind blowing. Little Of the
the nuisance was therefore more readily
seen. Flom Polk street to the river and
from the lake to the river is indicated on the
soc:ety's smoke map as the center Of the
evil. Four-ffths OF the time within this dis
trict the smoke lowering about the tops of
high buildings is so dense that one cannot
see objects four blocks away.

STARTING FOR AFRICA.
Mr.. Garner Leaves to Study the Monkeys
in the Dark Continent

Mr.. Garner Leaves to Study the Monkeys
in the Dark Continent
NEW YORK, July 7.-The man who speaks
the language of the monkeys starts for
Europe tomorrow and within two months
will probably be on the western coast of
Africa ready to undertake his journey into
the abode of the large gorillas and chimpan-
zees.
This man is Robert D. Garner. Mr.. Garner
has never been in Africa, all his former
work in studying monkey languages having
been done with such monkeys as are either
imprisoned in public menageries or else are
owned by private collectors. He has DEM
onstrated that each tribe or species of
monkeys has its peculiar language. OF the
small monkeys Mr.. Garner regards the
brown Capuchins as the most intelligent.
brown Capuchin. But the time has come
when Mr.. Garner thinks he ought TO carry
out his scientific investigation on larger
scale.
He has chosen for his base Of operation a
portion of that vast continent Of Africa
never visited by q white man. He will go
direct from London to Cape Lopez. a trading
station in the French Kongo district, about
400 miles north Of the mouth of the Kongo
river. Two hundred miles back in the
country there is said to dwell species of
ape that builds huts out OF dead wood and
the bark OF trees. With these he will try to
talk.
Mr. Garner's two chief aims are to learn
the language of the apes in that region and
to converse with them If possible, and then
by studying the speech of the natives to see
If there is any similarity or connection be-
tween the language OF the apes and that of
the natives.

forth to the country by its accredited con-
vention at Chicago. 1t expressed itself
against the free coinage of silver, and its
Senators stralghtway passed free silver
bill, which appears likely to be indorsed
by the majority Of its Representa-
tives in the House. Again, after
declaring its belief in its own
creed, it seeks to ally itself with the Peo-
ple's party, which subscribes to docu-
ment full of opposition to the Democratic
platform, in such States as it believes 1t
can profit by so doing.
Such utter disregard of precept in prac-
tice is clear evidence of the unreliability
of the Democratic party, and demon
strates its responsibility. 1t could not
indicate in any more emphatic manner
that the members of its party are for the
most part mere seekers after the spoils OF
office than workers on behalf Of princl-
pies. The people should and will refuse
to be hoodwinked by any deceptions SO
palpable, and no effort should be spared
to achieve such victory for the cause OF
protection as will cripple the free trade
forces for many years to come.

HOME RULES CHANCES.

As far as the situation can be Judged
from the returns of the British elections
up to date, it appears that Mr.. Glad
stones chances of success are not SO great
as was believed at an earlier stage. When
so ardent Gladstonian organ as the Daily
Neaos moderates the expressions of its
hopes so that it speaks of 'an adequate if
not substantial majority" the outlook for
Home Rule may be regarded as doubtful
indeed. There is every reason to believe
that Mr. Gladstone's political friends sim
cerely thought that their course was
stronger than it turns out.
Though there are many Liberal strong
holds to be heard from, the gains SO far
have been much smaller than expected.
There probably has been an actual falling
off in the Home Rule strength to cOrre-
spond in some degree to the difference be-
tween estimates and results Lord Sails
bury's incendiary language and his ap-
peal to religious prejudices have doubtless
had effect in some quarters. And a
still greater factor in weakening the
Liberal strength has been the failure of
the Irish leaders to come to terms and
make show of solidity. 1t now seems
likely that far from having majority
almost unwieldy in its bulk, Mr.. Glad
stone will be returned to office with very
few votes to spare, if indeed he be not de-
feated altogether. In the event of re-
turn to power of the Conservatives, sup
ported by the Liberal Unionists and Par
nellite Irish members, the Home Rule
cause would receive serious set back and
there would be a danger of troubles in
Ireland
The major ity on either side is likely to
be too small for practical working, and the
life of the still unborn parliament will
therefore be short Mr. Gladstone's great
age makes any delay in the passage Of a
Home Rule measure the more serious, as
his followers have no leader that can COM
pare with him in magnetism, mental
power or StatesmanShip

A NOVEL EXPEDITION.

Professor r. L. Garner sta rted to
Europe yesterday on his way to Africa
with a complete outfit of monographs,
telephones and electric appliances in gen.
eral in order that he may continue his
study of the simian tongue, which has
hitherto been confined to the opportunities
offered by geological gardens. His idea
is to spend most of his time in properly
prepared cage, while he listens to and
records on his monographs the conversa-
tions overheard by telephones concealed
in the surrounding trees. This expedi-
ton is an indication of the extremes to
which love of researcher possibly love of
fame-will carry modern scientists
The imaginary picture of the professor
shut up in his cage, and two or
three dozen monkeys inspecting him
and doing slack rope performances
on his wires, is not without its
humorous aspect That he will give
the aboriginal simians good deal to think
about and provide large fund of amuse-
ment for them goes without SAYING They
relieving the drear monotony of their
sylvan ways He will be to them what a
returned African explorer is to So
ciety "a new subject for curl
osity and adulation. He makes no
announcement of Maxim guns or Win
chester rifles among his paraphernalia,
but he has contrivance by which he can
shock any inquisitive monkey that seeks
to enter his cage in his absence. Civiliza-
tion will no doubt be shocked too, when
his studies have progressed far enough to
translate the swear words to which the
simians give vent on these occasions.
No doubt in few years time the
knowledge of the simian tongue will have
reached the stage at which its study will
become part of all thorough university
