THE NEW CONSUL.
Local Chinese Diplomatic
Appointments.
VICE-CONSUL KING RETAINED
Marshal Cards Second Batch of Chi
nese From Los Angeles Under
the Geary Act.

All the vacancies at the Chinese consul.
ate here have been at last flied by The
Chinese Government, tand the news was
Given out Oh the floor of the Custom-house
Yesterday.
The ConsuI-General. Ly Yung Yew, and
the NIee-ConSul, King Owyang. are re-
tanned. but new Consul has been chosen
IN the person of Chang Ting Jea. who can
not speak English yet, but is said to excel
in diplomacy. II had been hoped that the
place made vacant by the death of Consul
f A. Bee would be filled by white man,
but the Chinese Government has evidently
concluded that member of its own race
would serve its purposes better.
The new Consul is a stranger to this city
and arrived in company with the new Chi
nese Minister Yang Yu. His accomplished
assistant Vice-COnsnl King, who speaks
English fuently, will act as medium of
communication. King Owyang is we'll
educated gentleman. in fact, he is a graduate
OF Harvard, and, besides, he is very popu-
lar al the Custom-hOuse.
1t had been feared, on the occasion of
minister ang's visit 10 this country, that
some favOrte of the diplomat would be ap-
pointed TO MIR. Kings place, but Mr.. Yang
is a shrewd man, they say who think
they know him. aud after he looked over
the personnel of the consulate here be de-
clded that MI King was too valuable
servant OF his Government TO be dispensed
with. San Francisco is the most impor-
tant place in this country, as far as the
Chinese are concerned, and the Teia tiOns
between the two Governments were some
what delicate, therefore MIR. King was
deemed too useful an aid to facle in ter
course 70 be replaced by some person who
would probably know nothing about this
country and its language and customs.
The filling Of the vacancies at the con-
sulate," said Mr.. King yesterday. "has nc
particular significance attached to it. The
appointments are undoubtedly due to the
Minister at Washington. The delay was
occasiOned by reason OF the fact that the
Chinese Government contemplated send
ing Ministers here, and they preferred to
wait until report was received"
Several attaches are also installed. They
are Wong Ching LeOng. Foe Wing Hing
ChuD Tuck Ye. Foug Yen Sun aud Lai
Yuk hee. MIR. King was visitor at Col
lectOr Wise'S Office during the afternoon on
official business. The new Consul begins
the duties of his position Immediately.
Fifteen more Chinese were brought up
from Los Angeles by Marshal Gard night
before last TO be deported under the Geary
act, and tbey are now being detained at
the Alameda County Jail. Attorney Rior-
dan Of tile Six Com panles proposes to ap-
peal their cases also to the United States
Supreme Court. Habeas-corpus proceed
-ings will doubtless be attempted, and as
they will IN all probability be unsuccessful,
ike similar proceedings in the cases of the
first batch of Chinese brought here under
Judge Ross order, the appeals can be
based upon the courts refusal. The legal
fight, it is understood, will be carried on
just so long as there is enough money TO
pay expenses.
Up to the present time no civil proceed
ings have been instituted by Attorney
Rordau through the \ United States Circuit
Court against Mr. Gard. 1t would be a
kreat question TO decide IN what lawyers
tclow as ''torts" if he should begin the
3lt threatened. The Marshal would rep
resent that he was simply doing his duty
as The agent of the Government under the
order Of Judge Ross Again, If indemnity
we're sought from the Government for false
Imprisonment the Government would prob
ably deny any connection with the So
called imprisonment on the ground that
Judge Ross expressly held that as the
Chinese had not committed any crime they
could net be imprisoned, and that, there
fore, the Marshal in keeping them in his
custody was acting on his own response
bity, and not as the authorized agent of
the Government
Collector Wise was waited upon by the
committee of the ANTI Chinese Law and
Order League yesterday forenoon, and
demand was made upon him for the ap-
pOintmenE of twenty men as Custom-house
officers without pay, 10 arrest unregistered
Chinese. The committee seemed 10 desire
to select these deputies.
'If you don't do this Mr.. Wise, we will
compel you to do so, by mandamus."
threatened the spokesman.
At first Mr.. Wise demurTed upon the
ground that SO far as he was advised ne
had 0 authority to do so. & copy of the
law was shown him. He then said:
IF you gentlemen will give me until
Tuesday a 80 P. NJ. to enable ME 10 look
into the matter a little more closely, l
shall be glad to meet you here at my Office
and then tell you what conclusions l shall
have reached"
& similar demand was intended to be
made upon Mr.. Quinn, the Collector of H.
terDal Revenue, but that official was not In
his Office when the committee called.

Meanwhile Mr.. Geary and President
Cleveland do not appear to be any nearer
90 an harmonious understanding, and the
Everett bill for an extension of time, so
as to yet enable the Chinese to register,
will doubtless be urged through to its
