A YOLO JUNGLE MYSTERY.
Chung Ii Talks Body Found RiddIed

Chung Ii Talks Body Found RiddIed
With Bullets.
Some two weeks ago Chung Ii TAX
dropped out of sight, and from that time
until yesterday his numerous ''cousins"
and other friends had been assiduously
searching for him in vain.
Finally they procured his photograph,
and yesterday an engraver was at work
making wood cut therefrom, to be used
in printed circulars sent out among the
Chinese making inquiry for the missing
man, Whsn word was received that his
dead body had been found.
A railroad employe named Spleker,
while walking along the river bank with
his little boy, saw what he thought to be
mans body IN the tules, but did not
| investigate it closely because OF his
child's presence. He told Frank Ma
thena about it. however, and the latter
went to the place and found the body.
1t was taken to Clark's undertaking
rooms In this city, and an examination
showed that the deceased had been shot
twice IN the back and again under one
arm.
Chinese friends of his say he left the
vegetable gardens near Bryte's to come
TO this city to purchase New Years out
ut Tor his cabin. He had Sl2 so on his
person At that time, and the general be-
! lei was that be had been murdered by
tramps for his money. While investigat-
ing the mystery, however, RECORD
| UNION reporter learned facts which war
rant the theory that the deed was COM
mitted through revenge.
About two months ago gang of young
toughs undertook to sneak into Chung
Ii Tak's cabin for the purpose of rob-
berry. but the Cinnamon turned loose his
shotgun on the invading foe and held the
fort. One OF the gang was seen to limp
| away, and he loudly swore he would kill
the Chinaman the first chance he got.
1t Is, therefore, quite likely that he was
ambushed by the youth whom he pep
pered with shot at the time of the raid.

A SENATE bill by Mr.. Holloway pro-
bank within the county as a depository
Of the money of the county upon which
the Treasurer shall draw warrants to
meet demands upon him. Elaborate pro-
vision is made for bonded security, for
notice and public bids to become deposit
tories, for which privilege banks are to
make interest offers. When an award is
made, and the security bond approved by
the Superior Court, all the county money
is to be transferred. The bank receiving
the money is to report in detail monthly,
and is to honor all checks on it by the
County Treasurer. The latter is relieved
of responsibility on his bond for any
money held by the bank. This is a
wholly new proposition here, and needs
to be very seriously considered, and all
its advantages and disadvantages care
fully weighed. 1t is not without prece-
dent; cities and towns, and, we believe,
counties in other States, having adopted a
similar system. OF course, such law
would bring all banks contending for the
privilege into politics, but, as has been
remarked, many of them are sin" al
ready. If there is virtue in the measure
why may it not be stretched to the saw
ing of the salary of County Treasurer, and
lof re- Ia Il 11y
upon the official depository?

The accounts of the capture of officers
of the United States ship Concord by a
Chinese mob, one hundred and fifty
miles up the Yellow River, are too
meager at this writing to justify any posi-
tive expression, further than to say that
ii the Chinese have executed these men
without giving our Government oppor-
tunity to provide for their fair trial and
defense, we will have cause of war
against China. The story is that party
of officers from the Concord went ashore
to hunt. and that by misadventure
Chinaman was shot, whereupon the
Americans were seized and carried away.
Of course, if the officer who did the
shooting was criminally negligent he
must answer for it, but it is altogether
unlikely that at the utmost any severe
penalty would be justified as there could
have been no malice in the matter. But
the Chinese may look at it very differ
emily, and the unfortunate group Of
officers may have been murdered. Then
would arise the question whether the
local Government did its duty in an effort
to protect them. If it did, then nothing
but cold money indemnity can be ex-
pected from the Chinese tor the benefit
OF the families of the men. If, however.
the authorities failed of their duty, our
Government will exact severe penalties
that may involve the bombardment of
the city near which the seizure was made.
1t is all conjectural at this writing, but
before the RECoRD-UNIoN goes to press
there may be advices by way of the India
wire that will put the whole affair in q
new light. Let US hope that the story of
the capture has been exaggerated greatly.

MELVIN'S JUDGMENT.

The State Contests 1t, and VIII ASK
for New Trial.
AttorneyGeneral Fitzgerald has noti-
fed the attorney of E. w. Melvin that
the State will apply to the Superior
Court for new trial in the case in which
Melvin obtained judgment against the
State for $4,000 for injuries received at
the race-track in September. 1891.
The motion will be based on the ground
that the damages awarded to Melvin by
the jury were excessive, and were given
under the influence of passion or preju-
dice; that the evidence was insufficient to
justify the verdict, and that errors in law
occurred during the trial.

THERE is bill pending in the Senate
to create Board Of Architecture and reg
ulate the practice of architecture. There
is another bill in the Legislature to reg
and to license steam engineers. While it
is desirable that only competent men
shall superintend the construction of
buildings, and while no one should at
tempt to run an engine who has not the
requisite qualifications, the propriety of
these bills may well be doubted. Should

Perhaps it may be wise to establish a
licensing architectural board, but, if so,
why not establish boards to test the
qualifications OF builders and contractors
also, and machinists, electricians and
fremen? Assuredly there is more dam
steam power than from engineers. There
is such thing as going to The extreme

a CRIME WITHOUT A PENALTY.

A Judge of the Superior Court of San
Francisco said on Thursday, in the hear
ing Of the Hurley case, that there is a
most humiliating void in our penal laws;
namely, that while one can be charged
with and convicted of an attempt to bribe
ajuror, there is no penalty known to the
statute to meet the case of one who packs
or otherwise acts to secure the calling of
mon upon jury who are the tools and
bribed agents of the offender.
Such being the case, all the court could
do was to hold Hurley for contempt for

gressed so far as to induce repeated bleed
ings from the lungs, severe lingering cough
with copious expectoration Including tu-
bercular matter), great loss of flesh and ex-
treme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported TO US as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery - were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, i'll nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever ii mis-
representing them and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery" 3"
but who have been forced to confess that

which they are acquainted Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these

fit or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypo-
phosphites had also been faithfully tried
in vain.

One of the remarkable features of recent
political campaigns has been the tinplate
discussion; in which on one side Ii has
can tinplate never did exist and probably
never would. while on the other the declar-
atoms were emphatic to the effect that
tinplate was being succe ssfully and ex-
tensively manufactured In several places
in the United States. There Is no cam
paign on Just now. so this is a good time
to call attention to a report By our consul
at Cardiff. South Wales; report In which
he says that the tinplate industry In that
country-once the only source of supply
Is about gone. The consul quotes Welsh
newspaper which says:
The American tinplate works. which 1t
was thought would have to stop, are going
on as vigorously as ever. competing Tor
and often securing orders which formerly
came 10 this country. Their position has
actually improved recently, inasmuch as
they have obtained a reduction in wages
of about 80 per cent. while in this country
the strong effort made in the same direc-
ton has up 10 the present time proved
futile except in a few isolated cases. Prob
ably the most striking feature OF the year
trading has been the seriously diminished
call for terneplates from the United. States,
the native works being equal to supplying
almost the whole of that important trade.
Such testimony as this seems to Indicate
at least that American tinplate Is not
wholly a creation of the imagination, and
to point to an ultimate verdict favorable
to American resources.

Anxious that the District of Columbia
should have all the appropriation it needs
for the establishment and maintenance of
essential institutions. the Senate today in
sisted upon its amendments to the District
appropriation bill and requires another
meeting of the conferees. The committee
of conference will be called upon to agree.
IL possible. as to a double-headed PROPOSE
ton in which there is general public inter-
est and which deserves the support given
1t by the Senate-the police and fire de-
partment relief funds. The Senate provided
that hereafter. whenever a deficiency shall
occur in the police firemen's relief fund,
the Commissioners of the District Of Co
lumbia are authorized and directed to de-
posit with the Treasurer of the United
States. out of the receipts from fines in
the police court. in order to meet such de-
ficiency. a sum not to exceed four thousand
dollars per annum for the police fund, and
two thousand five hundred liars per an
mum for the firemen's relief fund" The
provision is highly commendable. 1t can
not but result in betterment of the service
rendered by the employees of the two de-
partments mentioned. All the civilized
world over there is unanimity as to the
propriety of such expenditures as are made
out or the 1UndS IN question: Inc chdrao'ei
of the work done by policemen and firemen
is physically more wearing and altogether
more dangerous than the exertion required
of others who are municipality employed. and
IL Is merely right to assist in the support
of funds out of which the disabled officers
OF the dependent survivors shall receive all
sufficient to keep biting poverty at bay.
The conferees will probably meet within a
few hours for the purpose of settling diff
ferences of opinion that should not be
wholly irreconciliable. Whatever else they
may do they should deal humanely and
Justly by the relief funds Of the police and
fire departments.

In a communication to The Star. printed
elsewhere in this issue. is advanced prop
osition to erect in this city memorial
which shall fifty honor the late Frederick
Douglass: a memorial which may either
be a monument to or a statue of the great
freeman. That the idea will take deep
root and grow speedily is the most natural
OF probabilities, for of all men of African
descent who have made for themselves
places in the front rank of American civil
fzation no other achieved the position which
is universally accorded Frederick Doug
lass There should be no effort to en-
courage the donation of large sums by
wealthy admirers; the testimonial should
come in small amounts, and, to con-
siderable extent, from the many of the race
for whose liberation Douglass labored. 1t
is perhaps. true that a considerable pro-
portion of those who may be termed the
many of that race have not fully appre-
ciated the invaluable services rendered
them, almost directly, by Douglass, but it
is likely that with his departure will come
more of realization to his value.
