Car Conductors Suffering From the

Special Treasury Agent Harris was seen and
to him was repeated the conductors statement.
IT'S true" he said. 1.-THE complaints from
the streercar people are incessant, and there is
indeed flood Of bad money afoat In San Fran

very hard TO chase The men who deal in small
counterfeits into a corner. No one pays much
attention TO dime Or a 5.cent piece or even

feat. His greatest engagement was when he
met Abt, the champion Gr8co- Roman wrestler
Of the world, at Vienna about TWO years ago.
Abt weighed 400 pounds and stood feet 8
inches In height. The betting on this match
was very heavy, and when the giants OF the
arena secured their first embrace Abt was SELL
ing favOrite at TO l, and even at these fig
ures there was only small amount OF money
placed on Miller.
The match was best two In three falls. and
according to the accounts of German papers,
which Miller has In his possession, the contest
was the greatest OF its kind ever held in Europe
or America. The men wresrled two days, SIX
hours day, before fall was had. Miller won
the first bout and the result drove Abt almost
crazy. He dashed at Miller like tiger when
time was announced for the second round. and
lifting the powerful rock-smasher above his
hr ad he dashed him upon the carpet with such
force that the spectators thought there was not
a bone in Miller's body that was not shat
tered The latter landed upon his side, and
although suffering much pain he held the de-
fenslve until he had recovered sufficiently to
prove to Abt that he was bodily as sound as a
drum.
The then CHI mpion In his anxiety to land
Miller on his shoulders left an opening which
Miller quickly took advantage Of, putting Abt
on his back after an hours wrestling, there by
winning the match and the championship OF
the world In Gi3co-Roman wrestling
Sebastian hiiler's last match was in Mime
apolis against Evan Lewis, the famous strang-
Ter. Miller won he first.fali. GrBco- Roman, IN
seven minutes and Lewis the second In twenty
minutes-this was catch-as catch-can-and the
on his opponent. The last bout lasted one
hour and twenty minutes.

THE KRELING ESTATE.
Another Application Filed by the
Widow Yesterday.

Mrs. Ernestine Hrelirg FLED with the Probate
Court yesterday afternoon an application for
general letters of administration over the es-
tate OF her late husband, William Kreling.
1t Will be remembered that a few days ago
special letters OF administration were granted
to Mrs. Kreling, and the only difference In the
form Of the two applications lies In the fact
that whereas In her first application Mrs. Krel-
ing gave no definite estimate of her husbands
estate. in the application filed yesterday she
gives an almost detailed inventory OF her hus-
bands effects, showing the estate to be much
larger than was at first supposed.
Mrs. Krelng states that her late husband
owned full two-tbirds interest In furniture
business valued at $4,000. Besides he held
real property on Annie place, aud a LOT on
Guerrero street valued at 100000. There
were bills due 10 Mr.. Kreling amounting TO
upward offs $4,000, as well as some promis-
sorry notes. and he Is represented as being sole
proprietor of the Tiyoli Operation of the
value of S25, 600. An interest in a banjo pa
tent is valued at $1,000. and a S25, 900 mort
gage on property OF the Sandy Bar Gold Mining
Company brings up the rear of q formidable
list OF assets.
Now IL remains to be seen what John Krel.
Ing will have TO say.

the clever manner in which the Scotchman has
had the articles of agre~ ment drawn up, it
looks very much as II he has already succeeded
III gaining very important point which may
Land him winner.
1t will be remembered when Mcleod first
challenged Miller 10 meet him on the carpet
the German positively refused TO wrestle any
man excepting the contest was TO be in ac-
cordance with the rules which govern GRECO
Roman wrestling. He agreed TO throw Mcleod
a certain number of times in an hours wTesI-
ling or forfeit $1,000.
The little Scotchman would not agree to such
proposition, knowing too well that Miller had
no equal as GT8co-Roman wrestler, and that
his chances OF success were small beyond
measure.
After considerable parley. In which a good
deal of badgeriDg was done by Mcleod, Miller
finally agreed TO the following proposition
namely: That on the evening of the 29th of
December the contestants should meet AT the
Orpheum and wrestle TWO falls, one In accord
ance with Gr8co-Roman style and the other
bout in accordance with casch-as-catch-can
style, the man winning a fall In the quick est
time to have the privilege OF naming the third
style OF wrestling
After carefully reading over the articles Mil
Ter signed his name to the document and went
away smiling. supposing OF course. that he had
the Scotchman just where he wanted. Strange
to relate Mcleod left with the same impression,
and Tomorrow evening IL will be seen which of
the two athletes was the best diplomat so far as
the drawing up OF articles are concerned.
Miller weighs, when in condition. 245 pounds,
and although he has had more than one hun
dred Matches he has never yet suffered de-

1T WAS SELF-DEFENSE.
The Greek Who Fatally Stabbed
John Walsh Discharged.

The preliminary examination Of Thomas D.
Papadacos, charged with the murder of John
Walsh IN Sullivan alley, near Mission street, on
December 13, was held before Judge Conlan
on Tuesday, and yesterday The Judge rendered
his decision.
After carefully reviewing the evidence lie
said he was convinced the defendant acted in
self-defense. He was attacked by four young
men. who robbed him of his candy ana then
tried 10 force him 10 the ground Two of the
witnesses for the prosecution were With Walsh
at the time and no credence could be placed
upon their testimony. The other one, Kelly,
had gone to sea, being evidently afraid of CIV
ing his testimony for fear of being implicate
In the attack upon the defendant. Walsh had
been charged with almost very crime 10 the
calendar except murder and had even robbe
his own grandmother. The Judge did not be-
lieve In the circumstances there was sufficient
cause TO send the case before a jury, aud he
would therefore dismiss 1t.
Walsh's two sisters were In the courtroom,
and when the decision was given they set UP
scream after scream and continued doing SO
after being led out into the corridor, where dire
threats were made against the Judge by some
OF Walsh's friends.

NO REGISTRATION.
NOn=ArriVal of Blanks
From Washington.
The Chinese Will Probably Take
Advantage of the Neglect of
the Authorities.

The time which the Chinese laborers were
given by the McCreary act in which 10 register
has already been shortened over two months by
the delay of the officials at Washington, d. c.,
TO forward the necessary blanks TO tile col
lectors of internal revenue. In addition To this
delay. when the blanks do arrive Collector
Welburn will find himself additionally ham
pered by small force of meu, meager appro-
priation and no quarters. The Chinese were
granted six months additional time in which
to register under The McCreary law. Ii the
necessary blanks were to arrive Today Col
lector Welburn could give the Chinese in San
Francisco at the very outside less than three
months, and those in the outlying districts
would have still less time.
The result will be thai lot of Chinese wll;be
unable TO register and will probably the contest
law remandlng them to China for not register
Ing on the ground that the time allowed by the
Geafy act was curtailed by more than one half.
and on the further ground that through lack or
proper advertisement and clerical force IL was
impossible for the Chinese who wanted TO regis
Ter TO ascertain where and when they could do
So and that even when they made application
there were not enough clerks 10 receive their
applications.
Collector Welburn had intended to rent
storeroOm somewhere near Chinatown ana es-
tabllsh his registration department for this city
there and then by sending out circulars, printed
In Chinese characters, throughout the district
he intended 10 notify the Chinese outside
empowered TO register them. Even had this
programme been carried out II is doubtful
whether or not all the Chinese who wanted TO
register, and who are compelled 10 register or
60 home, could be reached.
The truth about the whole Chinese regIstra-
lion business Is that IL has been delayed and
the details OF the work borched by Washington
officials until 1t begins TO LOOK as IL there was
"a method In their madness"
The situation from The Chinese standpoint
was summed up by Lucy YueP Yesterday when
he said:
''Plesldent Cleveland I'm no hurry 10 legister
Cinnamon. He say we have six months. All
hght. SIX months means June next time your
calendar. All light We legIster before june"
But the law only gives you until April to reg.

times 10 leglster and no can. He not to blame.

Experience teaches not only weakness, but
strength and the value of good RENE dies such as
ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs. This is what
e. d. Fredericks. the well.known photographer
OF New York, says:

PLAsTERs for 20 years. and found them one OF
the best OF family medicines. Briefly summing
up my experience, l say that when placed on
the small OF the back ALLCoCK's PLAsTERs
fill the body with nervous energy, and thus cure
fatigue, brain exhaustion, debility and kidney
