SIMONDS IN A SHADOW.

The Late Commissioner of Patents Ac-
cused of Fraud, Must Abide an Investi-
cation.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-For some
weeks past rumors have been in circula-
tion in the Interior Department which
have brought into serious question the
official conduct of w. f. Simonds, late
commissioner Of patents.
Several days ago one of the more
prominent firms of patent attorneys in
this city wrote a letter to Commissioner
Seymour stating that they had received
information from a source believed to be
trustworthy that certain applications in
the celebrated telephone case of Daniel
Drawbaugh in the secret archives of the
patent Office had been copied under the
authority of Mr. Simonds while com
missioner by parties outside of the
patent Office, all of which was contrary
to the law.
They asked that an official investiga
tion be held, and that they be informed
of the facts in order that they might
take such action as the interests of theii
clients might seem TO warrant Upor
the matter coming to the attention OF
Secretary Smith, he Immediately ordered
an investigation, which, it is understood
is practically completed.

Be a Withdrawal Of Diplomatic Rep
resentatives.
SAN Francisco, May 16.-A thousand
or more persons assembled at Third and
Market streets last night to celebrate
b the delivery of the anti Chinese decision.
The chief addresses were byA the anti
Chinese agitators DR.. G. c. O'Donnell
and Dennis Kearney, but neither speaker
succeeded in arousing high degree Of
enthusiasm.
It was decided to hold a procession
next Saturday night and the presidents
of all the labor unions were named as a
committee of arrangements. Rev. DIR.
Condit, the head Of the Presbyterian
Chinese missions on the Pacific coast, who
has been engaged in Chinese mission
work for over twenty years, and has
spent much of the time in South China,
was interviewed relative to the effect Of
the Supreme Courts decision in China.
He said 81 feel that an attempt to
enforce the provisions of the Geary act
so far as to deport the Chinese now in
the United States would be a very
dangerous thing l should expect that
Immediately upon learning of an attempt
to do this the Chinese government would
order all Americans to leave China at
once.
Every American building in China
would be destroyed either torn down or
burned and the killing of many of the
American residents could hardly be pre-
vented. The first move would no doubt
be the recalling of the Chinese ambas-
sadors and consuls now in the United
States and the severing of all diploma
tic relations
OF course further traffic between
China and this country would be
out of the question. / am certain that
serious trouble will follow the enforce
ment of the law because l understand
thoroughly the Chinese nature and
Chinese methods Of revenge
Then l have something else to judge
by in regard to this question in the
shape of letter from DR.. Martin, presi-
dent OF the Imperial College of Pekin.
In this letter DR.. Martin says that he
called not long ago upon Iii Hung Chang,
the Chinese prime minister, and asked
him the very questions you are
now asking me, and the only
reply that Ii Hung Chang would
make was that the Americans would all
be driven. He acts for the Emperor
He is virtually the government The
Chinese are sometimes slow to act but
once aroused they are the most vindictiv'
people on the face Of the earth.
