A Boston professor of mathemat-
les has got into trouble by attempt-
ing to do a simple sum in addition on
the plan made so popular 10y Cupid.
1t is IA Well-knOwn fact that Cupid
makes ! plus equal /, and that is
what Professor l.. Derry passano, of
the Boston School of Technology,
tried to do in Baltimore. The sum
apparently came out all right, but
later it was found there was some
thing to carry. 1t was nothing but
a bruiSe or two made by the fist of
the brides father, but it disturbed
the Professors calculations, and for a
time he was not sure that | plus |

father were separated in time TO pre-
serve their anatomy, however, and at
latest accounts Cupid's arithmetic
had proved correct. Aside from the
mathematical feature of the case. 1t
is something Of a surprise to learn
that a Baltimorcan dared object to a

lT Is possible that Burglar John
THOMPSON got something III his raid,
but it is not likely to do him much
good. Thompson entered a house at
4013 Armour avenue, Chicago, and
ransacked il, hut met only with
disappointment. He was arrested as
he was leaving, but protested that he
got nothing. The officer was doubt
full, however, and there seems to be
d possibility that Thompson was mis-
taken. The house was stocked with
smallpox germs, and health officers
are now endeayOring TO take an in
ventory TO see how many Thompson
may have carried away. OF course,
ii must be admitted that Thompson
displayed enterprise, but We doubt
whether his line of work ever will
become popular. Few people are so
hard up that they are TO break into

vestigation by the commission this was
found to be an erroneous impression, as
the firms visited all agreed 10 adhere to the
prices which had been furnished OConnell
& Lewis in writing. The commission in
formed O'ConneIl & Lewis that the con-
tract would have to be lived up to or the
mmissioners would award the contract
to the next lowest bidder and hold the
firms bondsmen responsible for the diff
ference. The decision brought forth a
statement that the firm would adhere to
their contract, and it Is expected the final
papers Will be signed this morning by
OConnell S Lewis. Had the commission
allowed the firm to purchase Eastern ma
terial it would have made difference of

told one Of the Commissioners yesterday
that the firm would have to pay out
$50, 900 for iron an6 steel work alone.
A fight is expected at the meeting over
the award of the contract for all the
cement which will be used in the construc-
ton of the dome. The commission
awarded it to Grace e. Co.. at So 80 a bar

the reason that the cement required must
be of tho best quality, and it was shown
that Grace & Co.'S cement stood every

SERIOUS TROUBLE LIKELY.
Wah Kings Agent Driven Out
of Town.
RANCHERS WANT THE MONGOLS.
The Celestials Are Greatly Alarmed
and Keeping Closely to
Their Quarters.

WOODLAND, April ia special to the
Mail from Winters says that the town is
up in arms over the Chinese question and
streets, making threats against the Chi
nese and Japanese laborers who have
taken the places OF white men.
This is large fruit-growing section and
the ranchers and orchardists have lately
employed large numbers of Chinese and
Japanese, who work for cheaper wages
than the whites. The citizens of Winters
have for some time been 6iscon ented over
the parliality of the ranchers for oriental
labor and Thursday their resentment
broke out in violent manner.
On that day white man named M. G.
Ferry arrived from San Francisco as the
agent of Wah Hing, a Chinese doctor.
Ferry bustled about town drumming up
business for his employer and this was
more than the people of Winters could
stand. Their pent up resentment against
the Orientals broke out. Ferry was
pelted with rotten eggs and otherwise
roughly handled. That night be got out
Of town glad TO be alive.
After paying their respects to Ferry the
townspeOple hung Japanese and Chinese
in effigy. The figures swung in the wind
all night and to-day were burned by the
crowd. A Japanese was caught on the
bridge and after being pounded was
thrown overheard and was quite badly
hurt
To-day the citizens held a meeting and
appointed committee to notify the
ranchers that they must discharge their
Chinese and Japanese laborers.
The feeling against the Grientals is not
onfned to the white laborers alone, for
all the citizens of Winters regard the
rapid increase of the Asialic population as
a bad thing for the town.
The ranchers. however. show no dispo-
sition to give up their cheap labor. and
declare they will continue to employ Chi
nese and Japanese. The people of VIM
ters are equally determined that they
shall not, and unless one side weakens
very soon serious trouble is liable to
occur The Chinese and Japanese are
greatly alarmed and are keeping closely to
their quarters.

CLEVER WRESTLING.
Mcleod Failed to Throw Mcmahon
Three Times.

The Orpheum Theater was packed with
people last evening who had assembled for
one purpose only, and that was to witness
a atch-as-catch-can wrestling match be.
tween Dan Mcleod OF this city and Tom
Mcmahon of Detroit.
AS already stated in TIE CALL Mcleod
to win had to throw his opponent three
times within the hour with one minutes
rest allowed between the falls.
The struggle was most interesting. anC
several times during the bout the specta
tors rose from their seats and cheered the
contestants Oh TO victory.
AS was expected, McMahon Immediately
played the defensive part when time was
called, ard, as every person who under
stands anything about wrestling is aware,
the task of winning three falls within the
hour was a decidedly hard one for the
Scotch lad under the conditions.
He settled down to hard work, however,
and by systematic way OF neck-sQueeZing
Mcmahon, TO avoid broken neck, had to
get on his feet, which meant TO Mcleod a
more favorable opportunity of getting a
hold which would land him winner of a
bout.
The Detroit man was clever, however,
and astonished Mcleod and the latter's
friends frequently by the marvellous way
in which he squirmed out of the most dan.
gerous places. During the struggle Me-
Leod had his opponent almost pinned to
the carpet half dozen times. but Nc
Mahon somehow slid out, it might be sa ID,
between McLeod's fingers and thereby
defeated the aim of the latter.
After twenty-four minutes and fifty sec
onds of decidedly hard wrestling Mcleod
won the first fall. The second fall he also
won in twentv-four minutes and one sec.
ond, leaving him about seven minutes,
counting the rest, to win the third within
the hour.
The final struggle was worth going a
long distance to witness, but Mcleod was
evidently too much exhausted to hold the
dangerous locks he secured on Nc Mahon
and failed to win the third fall within the
time allotted.
Before the wrestlers took hold Referee
John p. Casey stepped to the front of the
stage and announced that all bets on the
match were declared off. His reason foi
declaring himself in such manner was
that it was understood that the booksellers
had secured the good will of one of the
wrestlers, and to prevent any chance OF
hippodroming he thought the better plan
would be to declare all bets off.
Casey asked THE CALL to state that hs
is ready at any time to wrestle McMahon

these advanced ideas regarding the blood

AS was to be expected. so remarkable a
discovery has not failed to attract the at
ton of scientific men all over this country

tensively used in all the large homes and

HAWAIIAN NEWS.
Japanese Students Be-
come COalheavers.
Trouble in the Labor Market-The
Political Field-President Dole
and Weak Advisers.

HONOLULU. April 5.-The principal top
les of interest discussed in the Hawaiian
Islands to-day are the labor problem, reg
istration, the coming constitutional con-
veution and its aftermath.
The japanese steamer Aikoku Maru, on
her present trip, brought $50 students" to
this port and a cargo of coal. These stu
dents paid their own passage here, and
spent the first few DAYS on shore IN wan
derng around the city. Four days after
ward some $50 Of them went to work un-
loading the Aikoku Maru, using small bas-
kets holding about ten pounds OF coal
each for the purpose in regular Japanese
fashion. They receive so cents per day.
and supplant native Hawaiians and the
buckets unloaded by steam. Native steve
nores have always been paid from 81 90 TO
81 per day for their work, and 1t is claimed
that one of them is worth half a dozen
japanese students" Anyway, this Incl
dent has served 10 intensity the growing
hostility against the i'm Dortation OF any
more Asiatic labor for any purpose or upon
any terms.
The labor question will be the great
issue In the new cons ituiional convention,
and will probably lead to a disagreement.
ne planters, backed by the Government
ana ADVISORY Councils. will demand more
Japanese ana Chinese con tract labor, while
the people at large, backed by the political
CLUBS OF the American Union party and
the American League and Schuetzen Club,
will strain every nerve to keep them out.
Already the labor plank in the American
Union platform Is causing dissension
among the supporters of the Provisional
Government on the other islands. the
planters refusing to indorse 1t. Parrieu-
larry is this the case on the islands of Maui
and Hawaii. where opposition clubs have
been formed and platform adopted which
leaves out the labor question ent relv.
While this matter IS thorn in the side
of the Government there is still another
and larger one prickiag, and that is the
general apathy in regard TO registration.
This commenced nearly two weeks since.
and yet only a few more than 800 have
registered.
There are breakers ahead of the Provis-
ional Government and II is rumored that
President Dole so far foresees this as to
be intending to strengthen his present
Cabinet by the removal OF two OF Its
weaker members. 1t is said that he wants
