and the most influential Chinamsn IN
the United States. the prisoners being
among them. on the other hand To-Day
notices were posted in Cnfnstown oner-
ing $500 TO any Cainaman who would XIII
either Mr.. Conway or Mr.. Cowie. As
soon as the fact became known Chief OF
Police Ripley notified Sam Moy and Hip
Lung that be would hold them personally
responsible for the safety OF the
two officials whose lives have been
threatened. Sam Moy and Hip Lung are
the richest Chinese in Chicago, and for
years they have ruled supreme among
their eountrymen in Chicago. Mr.. Con-
way and Mr.. Cowie are determined to con-
sict the prisoners. against whom the most
overwhelming evidence exists.
When Hong Sling was taken into Gus
tody thirty-four annual passes on the
different American railroads were in his
possession, which fact, Mr.. Cowie states,
indicates that he has been engaged in
smuggling Cinnamon into the United
States on a large scale. The passes were
made out in the name of All Hong Sling.
Today Mr.. Cowie found it necessary to
go into Chinatown to get witnesses who
had notified him they feared their lives
were not safe. Altogether he has eight
witnesses. and he says thar they are in
safe-keeping and will be kept from COM
ing in contact with their countrymen
until after the arson trial is over.
While in Chinatown, Inspector Cowie was
told by one of his witnesses that at an
open meeting of Cinnamon in the MORN
ing reward of $500 had been offered to
any one who would kill either Inspector
Cowie or Conway or three of the witnesses.
Notices 10 that effect were posted
through Chinatown directly after the
meeting. The Cinnamon told Mr.. Cowie
that it meant sure death 10 pull down any
of the notices, but nevertheless the in
spector was soon in possession OF them.
lie Immediately had one translated. 1t
reads as follows:
"To All Cinnamon: We swear by all the
Chinese gods that the sum of $500 will be
paid 10 any Chinaman who sends death to
either of the men known as Inspector
Cowie or Inspector Conway, or TO any
three of our countrymen who intend to
assist in the prosecution of men of their
race. Death and fire will surely be given
to him who betrays or takes down this
notice"
1t is claimed the two Cinnamon have
fred stores in Salt Lake City ard other
Western cities, as well as in Chicago.
Spotted Egxery In whateom County.
WHATcoM, Oct. 81. - lSpecial.l - Two
years ago there were ], $3.50 votes cast for
presidential electors in Whatcom and ssh
in Fairhaven. The vote for governor was
1868 in Whatcom and SIS in Fairhaven,
while for members of congress l, 451 votes
were cast in Whatcom and 632 in Fair
haven. taking the highest in each party.
This year the total registration in What
com is !, 1862 and IN Fairhaven 40. or I26
less than the total vote for governor two
years ago. Taking the vote for presi-
Dental electors throughout the county as
the fairest test of the relative strength of
the three parties on national issues, it is
certainly reasonable to assume that the
county is still strongly Republican, as the
highest Harrison electors received loo
votes as against l,16l for Cleveland and
1850 for Weaver. This year. however. the
situation is rendered rather more serious
in some respects by reason OF partial
fusion of the Democrats and Populists,
whose leaders have undoubtedly agreed
among themselves, without taking any
formal official action, to unite their forces
If possible in an endeavor to elect three or
more members of the legislature, the
county attorney and two commissioners.
OF course they will pull some other candi-
dates through II they can. but their great
est efforts will be put forth in the direc-
ton indicated. and IL Is useless to try to
Disguise the fact that they have a good
lighting show. The Democrats did not
nominate any candidate for senator in the
bay district, or for county attorney, and
in consideration of the promised delivery
of = lot OF Democratic votes where they
viii do the Populists the most good. the
Pops have dropped their legislative candi-
date in Fairhaven. The Pop candidate
for Senator, W. II. Leiteh. was one of the
Pop candidates for representative in the
bay district two years ago and polled AIS
votes, while Dr.. Biggs, who is one OF the
Democratic candidates now, was a candi-
date two years ago and polled 627 votes, or
only twenty-six less than Albert sherman,
his successful Republican opponent In
one OF the county districts, Anderson,
Republican. had bu, nty-three plurality
over o'Neal, Populist, in 1892. though
the other Pop candidate in the
same district was nearly $50 votes behind.
In anything like fair fight, with three
straight tickets in the field, the Repub-
leans would make clean sweep of the
county by big majority, but the spotted
egg combine is a serious menace TO COM
plete success. 1.-THE asiuie statesmen who
