LORD SHOLTO IN COURT.
He Begins a Libel Suit In the
Circuit Court Against
the Wasp.
Wants Heavy Damages for a Phre-
nological Chart Of His Own
Head.

Lord Sholto George Douglas, son of the
Marquis of Queensberry, wants damages
from Editor Thomas Flynn of the Wasp.
His Lordship claims that he was libeled in
that paper. and is of the opinion that moth
ing less than $50, 900 will heal his wounded
feelings, and has brought suit in the
United States Circuit Court to recover that
amount.
The article complained of was publish ed
on June Is last under the caption Lord
Sholto's Phiz-Scraps of character read in
the lines of the noble Lords mug by a
scientist" and was as follows:
At the request of the the Wasp Professor
Allen Haddoek, who is prominently connected
with the science of phrenelogy and publishes a
periodical OF considerable interest on that en-
tertaining subject, undertook to decipher from
the lineaments Of the portrait +=+ the
character of the original. Inasmuch as no
clew was given 10 the phrenologist as to the
identity of the person whose portrait he was
asked to analyZe his summary of the mental
and moral traits detected by him in the picture
OF Lord Sholto Douglas is all the more inter-
esting.
This picture, says the professor, indicates
that the original is the offspring of degeneracy
the outcome of moral deprayity, whoever he
is. The chin is weak and retreating and shows
that there is weak cerebellum, or lack of
magnetic force. The mouth is open and coarse
and its strongest manifestation is sensuality
The outer angles OF the mouth turn downward,
indicating moroseness. The upper lid shows a
want of strength and the eyelids express cum
ming and deceit. Indeed. the whole face
exhibits sneer and an expression of contempt
for others.
There are probably some redeeming traits, If
we could see that portion of his head desig.
mated as the moral region, in the frontal
superior locality of the brain covered by the
hat, but would say that he lives mainly in
the animal region, as the expression of the
passions is strongly manifested on the fact; ;
still, he has not heavy base of BRAIN, aud
he Is perfectly harmless. He is loquncous
and more likely to vent his spleen in words
than blows. AS TO his general character, much
depends on his circumstances and environ
ment. He is hardly practical man, and GER
power to carry out any project in detail. His
memory OF words is good, but memory of facts
wretched.
In his complaint Lord Douglas asserts
that the article makes him out to be the
offspring of degenerate and depraved an
cestry, and further accuses him of being
''depraved physically and morally weak,
coarse, sensual, morcse, conceited. brutal
stupid. unr etined," all of which he says 'si.
untrue and calculated to expose him to
hatred, contempt and obloquy.n
He signed the complaint ''Sholto George
Douglas" His attorney is 3. G. Haskell
The Wasp and Editor Flynn will be repre-
sented by Garret McEnerney. The de-
fense will be that the article was published
in good faith and the good points In Doug
las character were given as well as the
had.

CHINESE VERSUS CHINESE,
The Sam Yups and the Wing
YungS Will Fight Over
Mock Look.
Consul-General Ii Yung YeW En-
broiled--The Paper Burning
Test.

Never in the history of Chinatown has
there been such an amount of factional
warfare over anything as in the case OF
Mock Look accused of the murder OF
Quong Jong. The former is member of
the Wing Yung Company and the deceased
belonged to the Sam Yups. These are the
two largest societies in Chinatown and
their membership represents about thirty
five out of every fifty Chinese in San Fran
cisco. Both tongs are at daggers drawn
and the least indiscretion will cause an
outbreak.
Quong Jong was killed on the corner of
Washington and Stockton streets last
week. Revenge was supposed to be the
cause of the murder, and before he died
Jong identified Mock Look as the man
who fired the fatal shot. The Wing Yungs
brand this statement as false and point
with pride to the fact that the accused has
been a cook in residence on Mob Hill for
the past thirteen years and has an excel
lent character. The Sam Yups offer to
prove that the accused is q highbinder, and
SO the case stands.
Yung Yew was dragged into the matter,
but instead of settling the difficulty be-
tween the rival tongs he only made matters
worse, and now he is in bad odor with both
of them.
One OF the most solemn ceremonies per-
| formed by Chinese is the burning of a
piece of paper, specially prepared by the
priest, in the josshouse. Four of the most
| prominent men in the Chinese community
are selected to burn the paper, and on the
manner of the burning and the shane
which the burnt particles take depends the
| fate OF the man under suspicion. Only
once in the history OF Chinatown has this
| test been resorted to, and then it was in
| favor of the accused, and the entire wealth
| and influence of Chinatown was brought to
bear in securing his release.
When Consul General Ii Yung Yew was
called in he proposed that this tlme-hon-
ored custom should be tried. The Sam
Yups were at first agreeable, but finally de-
clined the test on the ground that it would
| be opening the door for every highbinder
| in Chinatown who wanted assistance to get
out OF scrape. The members of the Wing
Yung Company, of which Mock Look is q
member, were perfectly willing to submit
| to the test proposed by the Censul-General,
and they were backed up by the Hop Wo
Company. Finally the conference broke
up in disorder, and the Consul-General
and the president of the Sam Yups had to
be escorted home by the police. Tho end
is not yet, and a highlander war is immi-
nent.
"In fifteen years have never seen China
town so worked up over anything" said a
guide Yesterday. "If some agreement is
not reached in day or two there will be
the bloodiest war ever seen in the Chinese
quarters"

c, A. R. Cheap Railroad Excursion.
 The wisdom of the national commit tee in selecting city so centrally To- cated, easy ot access, as Louisville, Ky, for the twenty ninth annual encamp- ment Of the Grand Army of the Repub. lie, September 11th to 14th, is fully justified, judging from the numerous inquiries received from all parts of the country relative to transportation facili ties, passenger rates. limits of tickets, etc.
 In anticipation of very large atten. dance, the Baltimore & Ohio South western railway (formerly the o. & M. R'y), the leading route to Louisville from the west, north and east, has made preparations to afford visitors every facility, both in the way of low rates and fast trains, handsomely and comfortably equipped, from all it's ter minal points. Three daily trains St. Louis to Louisville; two trains daily (except Sunday Beardstown and Springfield to Louisville; three daily trains Cincinnati to Louisville; two daily trains Parkersburg to Louisville. Rate via B. & 0. S-W By will not ex- ceed one cent per mile. Tickets will be on sale September 8th to 11th, in- elusive. good returning until October 9th, 1895.
 One of the principal events following the close of the encampmentw will be the dedication of the Chickamauga Nation al Military Park, Chattanooga, Tenn, to which excursion rate from Louis- vile, Ky, will not be higher than one cent per mile. In addition there will be cheap excursions run from Louis- vile to the various battlefelds in the vicinity. The citizens of Louisville are unit in their expression of according to their guests royal eutertainme nt during the encampment.
 Any further particulars desired will be cheerfully furnished on application to A. c. Goodrich, passenger agent of the B. & o. S-W. Ry., Kansas City, Mo, or to J. NJ. Chesbrough, general passenger agent, St. Louis Mo.

WALLER.

Ex-Consul WALLER, an American citi-

wife. A courtmartlal of French military
officers found him guilty OF being spy.
WALLER was sentenced to 20 years i'm
prisonment. He has begun the serving
OF his sentence in Marseilles dungeon.
He is an American citizen, an ex-member
OF this Governments diplomatic service
The American people want the French
government to make public the evidence
brought before that court-martial. That
is all there is to the WALLER case. 1t
would appear to be no great diplomatic
stroke to secure that evidence. But the
administration OF President CLEVELAND
seems to be so sound asleep that you can

GRAY EL0TTE.

The Germans yesterday celebrated the
anniversary OF the battle OF Gravelotte, in
their program of quarter-centennial OBJ
servances of the war with France. The
tremendous engagement in the little
village just west OF Metz was one of the
most sanguinary in history, surpassed
only, we believe, in this country, by
Gettysburg, where the casualties were
greater in number and much greater in
percentage of forces engaged At the
great battle which turned the tide OF our
Rebellion between 20, 600 and so, 900 men
were engaged on each side, and the total
casualties reached nearly 5000 killed,
wounded, missing and prisoners. At
Gravelotte the Germans had an army OF
200, 600 men, the French 10000 and from
this enormous force the Germans lost
20 159 men and the French upward OF
Is, 600 before decisive victory by King

the natural result of fast falling conf
