ANOTHER CHINESE RING.
A Combine Said to Have Been Formed
to Land Young Mongolians as
Native Sons.

The Custom-house authorities are in
vestigating a rumor to the effect that there
is Chinese native sons ring in Califor-
MIA. The headquarters of the men engi-
neering the scheme are said to be i'll the
East, and branches are scattered all over
the Sound and California. The price said
to be paid for the services of the ring is
5000, and if the young man is not landed
the combine guarantees to forfeit 500.
Agents of the ring are scattered through
China and shipment of 200 native sons"
is said to be ready to come on at mo-
ment's notice. Collector Wise handles all
Chinese cases, and he says that it is hard
to prove that Monaghan who swears he
is native son, and brings half dozen
other Chinese to swear to it, is not what he
says he is. During the last three months
only seven native sons have carried their
cases to the courts and number OF these
were landed by the Commissioner.
Quite number of Chinese arrived on
the Gaelic last week, and many of them
claim to have been born here. Collector
Wise is watching them closely, and they
will have to bring extra strong proof as to
the place of their birth before they are
landed.

congratulate you upon the sagacity OF your
selections.
With the appointment of the gentlemen
named the Democracy of the State is well salts
fed. Yours respectfully. F. H. GOULD,
Chairman Democratic State Central Committee.
The Republican State Central Commit
tee does not see how any further action
can be taken at present in regard to the
new Election Board unless Mayor Sutro
changes his mind and makes another NOM
ination in place of that of Samuel Foster.
1t is expected that the Commissioners
will meet to organize some time this week,
and so the politicians are giving their at
tention to the office of secretary and as
sistant secretary.
The Union League Club is credited with
having candidate for the position of sec
setary. Mr.. Pippy's name was mentioned
that he did not want the Office. S. w.
Backus, president of the club, is not
counted a candidate. but he might consent
to serve the public until the election ma
chinery is placed in smooth working order.
Registrar Hinton is certainly candi-
date and the choice. so it is averred, of
Democratic Commissioners Denman and
Wellin. Should the secretarpship go to a
Democrat the Republicans will get in a
man for assistant secretary. Jacob Step
pacher is named as candidate for this
office.
Max Pepper, who is a good Democrat,
said yesterday: Hinton ought to be ap-
pointed secretary. The place belongs to
the Democrats, by rights, because Demo-
cratic Governor signed the bill creating the
commission, and practically surrendered
half of the patronage of the office to the
Republicans. The law would have been
passed in 1898, but Dan Burns wanted to
hold his brother-in-law, Evans, i'll the
office and the Senate defeated the meas
ure. Governor Budd did not take parti-
san view of the case. He thought both
parties should be represented In the selec-
ton of clerks to register the voters and
count the votes"
The Republicans do not comprehend the
logic of Mr.. Peppers argument. They
hold that capability and experience should
count for something. If Republican,
better qualified than Mr.. Hinton to per-
form the duties of the Office, should be
nominated for secretary he should be
chosen.
When the time comes for electing Sec
retary and assistant there will be no lack
of candidates.

SUN INSURANCE COMPANY
The Directors Find Business
Improbable and Trans

Unconditional Acceptance by the
Flreman's Fund of the

The Sun Insurance Company, fire and

was president, went out of business yester-
day afternoon, and the Fireman's Fund
Insurance Company has assumed all its
risks.
at is true" said W. Fl. Friend, the Sec
retary of the company, "that the sun In
surance Company has gone out OF business.
The determination to do this was reached
at a meeting of the directors held this
afternoon. 1t appeared that there was no
money for the stockholders in insuring at
the present cut rates, and that there was
no brighter prospect. and, therefore, it was
unanimously decided TO go out OF business
as matter of prudence.
"The Fireman's Fund has accepted all
our risks, fire and marine, from II o'clock
noon to-day, SO that all policy-holders are
fully protected. Now the stockholders
viii not lose anything, for they will re-
celye dollar for dollar.

capitalist; J. n. Knowles. shipping and

real estate and insurance, were unanimous
on the proposition to discontinue busi-
ness.
THE company" added Mr.. Friend,
was organized in 1882 and did prosper
ous business until the latter part of last
year. The company's risk OH the lakes
East did not prove profitable and the COM
pany ceased taking lake risks about year
ago. There was a depleted surplus; this
was not restored and therefore it was de-
slded to retire in an honorable way"

HOW ABOUT TIT

CHICAGO, March 11.-A special from In. dianapolis, Ind, says: Another sensation came out of the Indiana legislature yester- day when it was found that the Nicholson local option bill, the measure that was so bitterly fought over for weeks, did not reach the governor Saturday night and that the constitutional provision which says no bill shall be presented to the governor for his signature within two days of the close of the session will now render the act void. This will be sad setback to the confident temperance people who have banked on giving the saloon business in Indiana the worst blow it ever had. Since Saturday morning the governor has received nearly 500 telegrams asking him if he would sign the bill. Last night be refused to say what he would do. While the constitution declares no bill shall be presented to him within forty eight hours of the close of the session he says he might wait,

The treasury condition for third of March shows that the receipts az gree8ted So, ,325, GOO aud the expenditures Sl1 ,354 GOO, or an excess of the expendi- lures over the receipts of F, ,209, GOO. An element of uncertainty not heretofore en- tefing into treasury calculations has now 10 be considered. It IS the farge sums of money appropriated by congress in the de- fciency appropriation bill and sundrJ civn appropriation bill. Many of these items were made immediately available, and the payment today of S6l5, 900 on the civil and and miscellaneous accounts shows that some of them have begun to reach the casher's desk. The customs receipts show continued and sustained Improvement, being tor the fiscal year up to date $105, ST ,000, or nearly s1 900, GOO more than for The same time last year.

LONDON, March 11.-Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett, member of parliament, has re- newed his attack on the sensational stories of Armenian atrocities published in the Telegraph. In a letter published today Sir Ellis challenges the Telegraph to produce the alleged Armenian telegrams published in that paper, or even to join him in re- questing the telegraph company to present the original dispatch. Until the Telegraph is willing to show them he says he will re- main in the belief that they never existed.
 The Globe correspondent in Constanti- nope, as the result of a careful examination of the Reuters special dispatches from Tiflis, declares that they are full of contra dictory and confused statements and show such complete ignorance of the circum- stances, localities, etc., as to render them wholly unreliable.

A RUNAWAY MATCH,
Which Resulted in the Filing of a Divorce Suit-A Big Chicago
 Sensation.

CHICAGO, March 11.-Pauline Cony Au- brey, daughter of Chief Justice Fuller of the United States supreme court, has ap- piled to the circuit court for divorce from her husband, James Matthew Aubrey. The bill was filed in the circuit court this morn- ing. This is the outcome of the sensational runaway match which startled Chicago society in March, 1889.
 It will be rememo moered that the couple were married in Milwaukee March 19, 1889. Miss Fuller was IS years old at the time. Aubrey was 22 years old. A short time before Chief Justice Fuller had gone to Washing ton to take his seat on the supreme bench. Miss Fuller had been in Washington, but returned to Chicago on the pretext ot yis- itipg friends. The marriage was com plete surprise to friends of both the young people, and it was not many months ere it be came the source of chagrin and sorrow to the bride through the fragrant excesses of the young husband.
 For year or more Mrs. Aubrey has been living with her parents unable longer to bear her husbands conduct. Mrs. Aubrey in her bill says that her husband contracted the liquor habit, and to that she attributes all her domestic difficulties. She says that she was compelled to leave her husband and to take refuge swith her father. The couple have two children, Melville Cony Aubrey, years old, and Mildred, years old.
 from participating in any manner with the education or caring for the children. Mrs. Aubrey says she has means to care for them and does not desire her husband to have any access to them at all.
 Aubrey is at present In Chicago, where he has been served with a process.
 His father in law, it is claimed, has been put to great deal of trouble over some of Aubrey's proceedings in regard to financial matters. Aubrey has held several impor- tant positions in railroad work, but the bill says that owing to his behavior he has been unable to retain them.

SEABOARD AIR LINE Stands Flat Footed on Her Action
 as to Low Rates.
PRESIDENT HOFFMAN TALKS
Says the Southern Railroad and Steamship Association
 Started the Ball.

BALTIMORE, March 11.-President K. Curzzon Hoffman of the Seaboard Air Line reached here today after an absence of a week. In talking about the boycott which the Southern Railroad and Steamship as- socia,ion he'd instituted against the Sea- board and the cut in passenger rates which his line has made in retaliation, Mir. Hoff- man said:
 i've have made our move, and we are now waiting for the other fellows to do something. Our cut has not been met as yet; at least there has been no public an. nouncement. We are prepared to make a determined fight for what we know to be our rights. Some of our competitors say that the action of the Southern Raiiroad and Steamship association was not boy colt. If the fight that association is mak- ing against us is not what Is generally termed boycott, would like 10 know what it is. At all events we consider it a boycott, and will resist 1t with all the power at our command.
 "rhe hearing of the injunction which we obtained against the Western and At. lsntic and Nashville, Chattanooga aud St. Louis, restra ming them from joining in The ight against us, which was set for last Saturday, was postponed at the instance Of the counsel of the defense. We were ready and anxious 10 get q hold of the case.
 "Judge Lumpkin, before whom tue case will be tried, has not set cate for the hearing, but will probably decide upon an early hearing. Meantime the injunction stands and the different roads are exchaug- ing business with the Seaboard as usual.'
 When asked if his line would join. the Southern Passenger association which was formed last week to take the place of the old association which run iE connection with the Southern Railroad and Steamship association Mir. Hoffman replied that the S,aboard did not contemplate joining any association at the present time. The Sea board was not represented at the meeting at which the association was formed, al- though it was invited to send representa- tive.
 A rumor was current today that the Southern Railroad company had secretly cut both passenger and freight rates, but the report was denied at the local office of the company. A cut in freight rates by the Seaboard Air Line would cause no sur prise in shipping circles,
