CHINESE IN A RIOT.
Two Factions Join in q Rough
and-Tumble Fight
San wah Alleges that He Was Hit
with an Axe.

AS result of the quarrel on account
there was "a rough and tumble ngnt In
the heart of Chinatown to-day. In the
midst OF the row the police Of the Elz-
abeth street station rushed In on the
Ceiestials and stopped hostllitics by ar
resting eight of the leaders.
one OF the participants was removed
to Chambers Street Hospital, and Is
said to have been internally injured.
He was hit with an axe, so his friends
say.
The row originated between two fac

head yesterday in a restaurant at Is

1ourned until to-day, when all the
prisoners were discharged.
1t doesn't appear whether Fong pre-
cipitated the trouble to-day or not. At
any rate, Wong Get and about ten OF
his friends were on the way home when
Jue Chow. of 4 Doyers street a friend
of Fong. attacked them in fell street
near Mott.
For about Ave minutes pigtails, fists
and some say, an axe, inquired In a
rough and tumble fight. The Cinnamon
fought and clawed each other until Po-
liceman Murphy appeared. He sent word
to the station-house and a half dozen
bluecoats responded.
Pell street was by this time packed
with a cosmopolitan crowd, the fighting
Celestials forming its centre. The po-
licemen charged the crowd, which scat

GLASGOW, Aug. 22.-The Japanese

WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-The jap
antse legation has received no news
Of the engagement between the Japanese
and Chinese, reported from Shanghai in
dispatches published this morning.
The officials Of the legation express
the strongest confidence in the accuracy
OF the telegram received at the legation
yesterday. announcing that the hnding
OF the British Naval Court of Inquiry at
shanghai In the Kow Shung case was
favorable to Japan.
This statement concerning the action
OF the court officials Of the legation
state was undoubtedly based upon pffi-
cial informa ton, as was also the add
tioral statement that the British 'Ad-
miral had reported to his Government
that in his opinion the sinking OF the
Kow Shung was justifiable.
The legation characterizes as unquali-
fedly incorrect the assertion that. the
commander of the Naniwa ordered his
men to fire on the survivors from the
Kow Shung who were struggling an; the
water.

EIGHT-HOUR LAW DISPUTE.
Labor Organizations get the At
tOrney-Generais Opinion.
by Associated Press. J

lBy Associated Press.D
ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 22.-The Attor-
y-General has received numerous re-
quests filed by labor organizations and
city governments, to give an interpreta-
ton to the EightHour law. and the
WATERFOWL Trades Assembly has filed a
complaint and asked for a written opin-
ion.
The law was passed In 1870. Later
amendments have confused II somewhat
and seem to have caused trouble. The
trades assemblies OF the State are hav-
ing trouble with city governments on
which no provision Is made for the en-
forcement OF the law.
The law originally required that a
days work on state contracts should
consist OF eight hours. Recently II has
been amended to include municipal con-
tracts.
In some instances the enforcement OF
the amendments has caused a decrease
In wages paid for a days labor. This.
the trades assemblies claim, Is Illegal,
and they propose to test the alleged vio-
lations OF the law In the courts.
Deputy Attorney-General Hogan this
afternoon decided that municipalities
have to obey the Eight-Hour law, but
that, II man works over eight hours
without a contract he cannot recover
wages
II a workman chooses, he may work
over time for "a certain compensation.
IL corporation purposely cuts down
the wages OF men to avoid the Eight
Hour law, and SO refuse ten hours
pay for eight hours work, a conviction
could be obtained; but II o man con-
tracts to work for II stated compensa-
ton, no conviction could be had. The
act of 1870 IL not nullified In any way by
the act Of 1894.

FIRE FRIGHTENS TENANTS.
Chased from Their Beds shortly
After Mfdnfubt.

The Fire Marshal will investigate a
suspicious fire which occurred In the
basement of the. four-story tenement
o'clock this morning.
The house is occupied by four families,
and close behind 1t Is another tenement
holding as may more people.
The ground floor of the main building
is occupied by Herman Sandkuhl's gro
Gerry store, and he sleeps in a room al
the rear. The family live on the top
floor. George w. Geist, his wife and
three small children occupy the escond
floor.
Mr.. Sandkuhl was awakened this
morning by suffocatlng sensation in
his throat to find his room full of
smoke. Not pausing to dress himself.
he ran into the hallway. shouting
"Fire!'
George Geist, who had already awak-
cned, rushed down into the cellar and
discovered a good-sized blaze in the
space between the ceiling and the
store floor, directly underneath the OIL
soaked wood, upon which stood Grocer
Sandkuhls kerosene oil tank.
The whole house was by this time full
of smoke, and Gest ran up to. his
apartments. where he found his wife
and children still asleep. The children
were nearly suffocated. He aroused
Mrs. Geist and they carried the. little
ones to the street.
All the other inmates got out safely.
but did not wait to dress.
Then attention was directed to the
fire. Pals of water were emptied in the
effort to exIinguish IT, but the flames
were so intrenched behind the ceiling
that the water could not reach It.
The fremen finally pulled the ceiling
down Then the trouble was ended.
Sandkuhl declares, and SO do all the
other terants, that the place was fired
by an incendiary. .
The property belongs to the Nicholas
Seagrist estate. The damage was slight.
