HOPE HAS FLED
Congressman Dockery Wanted No Hors
of II .f

Congressman Dockery Wanted No nore
of It
Washington, March 8.-Mr. Dockery' q
commission expired with the close of
Congress. Mr.. Dockery was asked why
he did not make an effort to have it con-
tnued and he replied that with Repub-
lican House he could not hope to ac-
complish anything in the next Congress-
Further, he was satisfied with the record
that had been made, and did not wish to
prosecute what would turn out failures in
the next Congress, by reason of not hav-
ing parliamentary power to carry it
through. Mr.. Dockery was asked what
he proposed to do with all the recon-
commission just before Congress ad-
journed. In reply he said that an effort
wou be made during the next Congress
by Mr.ADingley and himself to secure the
enactment into law of some of the recon-
mendations made.
There was one effort of the Dockery
commission which failed owing to efforts
OF the Western Senators The commission
had recommended and the House had in
corporated in the legislative appropria-
ton bill q provision to repeal section of
an act passed in 1880 which gave the sue
Gessful contestant of land entry thirty
days to file upon land. 1t was claimed
Wy tho ooih iooioi, III us repurJ 10 Con-
gress, that this thirty days preference
right was premium upon contests, and
many contests would not be initiated if
the law was repealed. Mr.. Do, kery had
charge OF the legislative BILL incorpor-
ated the repeal in that measure and it
was reported from the Senate Committee
on Appropriations. Late in the night,
after the very stirring scenes between
Senator Chandler and Hill, and when
there was no longer quorum in the Sem
ate, Senator Hansbrough moved to strike
out the repeal. This was resisted by
Senator Cockrell, who insisted that it was
too late to do anything with the repeal
ily..
The Western Senators rallied around
Senator Hansbrough in advocacy of strik-
ing out the Dockery provision. Senator
Cockrell made point of order, but the
Vice President overruled it. The vote
being taken, but the result was in doubt,
the Vice President was about to call for
a division, when several Senators pro-
tested and asked for a viva voce vote
again, This was taken and the Vice
President decided with Mr.. Hansbrough.
Had there been voting quorum present
Mr.. Cockrell would have called for a Yea
and nay vote, but he was too anxious to
get through with the bill that night.
While the bill was in conference, the West
ern Senators said that if the Hansbrough
amendment was not retained there would
be great deal of talk on the report of
the Senate, with the posi- bilities of dis
agreement, and Mr.. Dockery was com

WAR OF THE HIGHBINDERS
Trouble Of Serious Nature Bobbing Up In San
Francisco


San Francisco, March 9.--The recent
highbinders' rows in Chinatown, it seems,
are only the sequel of war between the
sectins of the Hop Sing Tong, and Bing
Kung Tong at Los Angeles. Lou Suey, a
leader of the southern branch of the Hop
Sing Tong, was assassinated at Los An
geles short time ago by Wong Chuey and
his cousins, Wong Wing and Wong Chez.
The last named is the leader of the Bling
Kung Tong. Wong Chuey and Wong
Wing were captured by the police.
WSong Chez escaped tempOrarilgy, but was

Wong SAM. from this city, to take the
place OF their imprisoned leader. At
Fresno Sam met Wong Fong, a fighting
man. They collected seven more hatchet-
men, three from this city and one each
from Chico, Sacramento, Marysvlle and
Fresno, All these warriors are now in
Los Angeles awaiting an opportunity to
wreak their vengeance ON the Hop Sing

Both factions have sent to their friends
here for. aid and advice. Charley All

that, his enemies will pay $1,000 for his
head and that the value of All Coon s
head has been fixed at 5000, All Him is
very careful about rushing into danger.
Coon may have to fight his battles alone.
The Los Angeles row was the result of
the importation OF number of Chinese
women by the Wong family, all of whom
belong to the Bing Kung Tong. While
awaiting the result of the trial of the
murderers of Lou Suey the local high

tary for approval while the resolution was
pending. Afterwards. when Congress
adjourned the commissioner felt compell-
ell to go ahead with the patenting of lands
to the Union and Cen raj Pacific roads.
but with the announcement OF the 5ecre
tary that he will not approve any further
patents to these roads, work was again
suspended.
Secretary Smith will, in short time,
make an order to that effect and give
reasons for such action. He says that e
thinks it just that no more patents should
be granted when the roads owe the Gov
eminent such large sums. 1t has been
stated that suit for mandamus to compel
the Secretary to continue issuing patents
will be brought by the railroads. When
this was suggested to Secretary Smith to-
day he said that it would be time enough
to begin work on the patents when the
courts granted such madamus. The lands
affected are within the grants of the Union
and Central Pacific between Omaha and
Sacramento. 1t is also thought the lands
within the grant to the Oregon and Cali
fornia road will be affected, as it is opera
ted as part of the Central Pacific sys-
tenn.

ON AN OREGON RESERVATION
Two Companies Arrive at the Walla Wall
Rendezvous


Pendleton. Ore, March 9.-Two COM
panies of the Second Cavalry from Fort
Walla Walla arrived here at o'clock on a
speci al train and will be taken without
delay to Mission Station on the Umatilla
Indian reservation, from which point
they will proceed to the agency near the
station.
Indian Agent Harper had been notified
from Washington that troops were held in
readiness at Walla Walla, but kept his
counsel saying nothing until about the
time for the arrival of the train, when he
gave out the information that he had re-
quested the aid of troops. He states the
troops may be necessary to protect the
agency and whites who live on the reser-
walton.
Affairs have been disturbed on the res
ervation for some weeks on account of the
disagreements betw cen the officials and
the Indians. The Indian court, in the
case of Indian offenses, has exercised
powers which the Indians claim were too
arbitrary. The matter was brought to
an issue in a civil case in the justice
court here when Wet SCOT brought suit
against Brisbough and others to recover
damages for an alleged assault CO mmitted
by the Indian policemen.
The case was decided in favor of the
plaintiff. but was appealed by United

State Circuit Court Later Chiefs No
Shirt, Young Chief and twenty other head
men were arrested for dancing contrary
to the agents orders. This caused riot
in the council chamber and a general row
was narrowly averted. The chiefs were
released, but were again arrested on the
same charge and also fofresisting United
States officers. They were sent to Jail,
but employed counsel to sue out writs OF
habeas corpus in the Circuit Court for their
release.
This afternoon Judge Fee of the State
Circuit Court rendered decision in the
habeas corpus case. He holds that the
Indians are citizens under the Dawes act,
entitled to all rights privileges and i'm
munities of other citizens excepting as
to the alienation of their allotted lands
ferred to trusteeship of the United States.

Order Regarding the Union and Atlantic Pacific
Companies Bills

Washington, March 8. Secretary Car
Isle today issued an order directing that
hereafter all compensation for mail and
other service rendered the Government
by certain non-aided and leased lines of
the Union Pacific shall be paid to the re-
ceivers of the respective companies, in
stead OF being applied as heretofore to

of the Union Pacific and that the relation

None of the payments authorized are to

POLITICS AGAIN
A Little Discussion in Oakland That Will
Cause Trouble


Cause Trouble
Oakland, March ga story has Just
leaked out which, If true, will prove very
disagreeable to Charles Mautaulen, chair
man of the Republican County Commit
tee of Alameda and several other promi-
nent politicians on this side of the bay.
Just before the last election the poll
ticians began to haunt Newcomb w.
Leitch's undertaking establishment and
the question OF nominating man to fill
was limited that if Leitch paid SO much
to the committee to carry on party work,
that Leitch could have the office. Leitch
took the bait and at different times paid
sums aggregating $685. and felt sure that
he would be the next Coroner for Ala
media county, but when the nominating
convention met at Haywards, Leitch 5
name was not even mentioned, but DR..
Baldwin carried off the nomination for
the coveted Office. That is the reason
Newcomb W. Leitch has placed the case in
the hands Of his attorneys and will air the
whole case in the courts.

Influenza Lays Low Statesmen

Emperor Williams Sister Was Stricken

Prince Bismarck Doubtful About Celebrating
Ills Eightieth Blrthdn y--Othor
.s.n German Affairs

Berlin, March 9.-Infuenza Is still ram
pant here. The Duchess OF Sagan, mother
OF the wife OF the German ambassador at
Washington, died of that disease today.
The Duke of Sagan is just recovering from
an attack Of the same disease. Emperor
Williams eldest sister, the Princess Of
6axe-Meiningen is improving. Two Ber-
lin judges, Willer and Hoffman, have died
from the effects Of influenza. The cpl
demic is seriously interfering with the
business of the law courts and in several
public schools, owing to the sickness of so
many teachers and pupils, whole classes
having been suspended. In the whole OF
Germany last week Neurem burg had the
doubtful honor of heading the influenza
statistics with the biggest sick list, with
Hamburg next with 1885.
The long and friendly conversation
which the Emperor had with the Duke OF
Cumberland while his majesty was in
Vienna upon the occasion of the funeral
of Grand Duke Albrecht has revived the
hopes of the Guelph party in Germany.
In the court circles the opinion prevails
that Prince George, the eldest son the OF
Duke Of Cumberland, will be the reigning
Duke OF Brunswick upon attaining his ma
jority in October 1898. the Prince Regent
Albrecht being very wealthy and not en-
amored OF his office. He harbors no in
tention of founding dynasty for Bruins
wick. He is, besides, an ultra legitimist
and never approved Of the despotlsm of
the Guelphs. The Prince Regent regards
the regency as provisional arrangement,
and absents himself from Brunswick as
frequently as he decently can.
Prince Christian of Hohenlohe-O ehrin-
ger was the guest OF Prince Bismarck at
FREDERICKSBURG on Sunday and Monday
last. The latter spoke of his waning
strength and DR.. Schweininger's positive
prohibition not to excite himself and
receive large crowds. In addition Prince
Bismarck expressed grave doubts as to
whether he would be equal to the task Of
celebrating his eightieth birthday as the
people wish him to do, publicly and with
all kinds of demonstrations. The En-
peror has informed Professor Won Sybl,
the historian, he will personally partici-
pate in the celebration.
A newspaper of Leipsio recently asked a
number of literary and political men for
an expression of opinion upon the idea
of making Prince Bismarck an honorary
citizen of the German Empire by an act
OF Parliament, and almost all approved
the plan.
DR.. Schaedler, member of the Centre
party, was rather pointed in his answer.
He said: 81 beg to say that in memory of
the Kultur kampf and the oppression of
the German Catholics at that time, your
questions are of no interest in any way"
The Conservative. National Liberal and
Anti Semitic members of the Reichtag
will celebrate Bismarck's birthday by
committee OF members, and will go to
FREDERICKSBURG together on April 9TH to
deliver an address to the ex-Chancellor.
