SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-The trial of
Theodore Dursnt was dry and uninter.
esting. All the morning, and most of
the afternoon sessions were devoted to

wished his drawing only to be intro
duced, and part OF the day was con-
sumed In wrangling over the respective

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-R. B. Bowler,
Comptroller of the Treasury. to-day
rendered IN opinion on the now oele-
brated Oxnard sugar bounty claims, in
which he holds in EFF cot: First, that he,
as comptroller. has jurisdiction of the
case; and, Second, that, in his opinion
the act OF March 2. 1895, making the
sugar bounty appropriation. is unoon-
stitutionsl. He, however. directs that
the papers in the case be sent to the
court of claims under section 1863 for
the rendition of judgment in order
that there may be furnished "s pre-.
cedent for the future action of the
Executive Department in the adjust
ment OF the class of caaos involved in
these sugar bounties."
The particular claim decided to. day
ID substantially on the same footing as
all other sugar bounty claims, for the
satisfaction of which Congress at its
last session appropriated IS, asses
The comptroller answers at great
length the arguments presented by
counsel at tn o hearing, in which his
jurisdiction in the premises WAS
attacked, and in the courae of his reply
he says statutes which do not conform
TO tina constitution are not law, and
therefore, when statute is in apparent
conflict with the constitution 1t become s
the duty of the executive officer 10
determine for himself as between the
statute and the legislation whether the
statute is the Law.
1t Ia true that the statute ia to be
considered prima face constitutional,
and should be followed unless clearly
unconstitutional. It'll is also true that
the officer acts at his peril If he does
not execute constitutional statute. but
1t is mono the less true that he acts a..
his peril IL he executes an unconstitu-
tional st itute.
AS to the stitutionality of the act
the comptroller says in pars that the
principal has long been decided that
taxation must be for public purpose.
that an attempt to take money from the
people by the forms of taxation for a
purpose other than public one il not
on exercise of legislative power, and
therefore that an attempt to do 80 is a
nero nudity as an effort by the legis-
lative power not granted by the consti
tuition.
BY refusal to pass the claims the
ultimate rights OF the claimants are in
no way affected, for they have perfect
remedy in court to test the validity of
their claims to obtain payment thereof,
after final deter m in alton OF the CON
stitutionality Of the law. II 1t be held
constitutional. II the comptroller had
no other alternative than to pass or re-
Ject the claims, for the reasons given,
his duty TO the whole people who can
not bring their rights into court would
require him to re :ct them
Inc comptroller then quotes section
1903 Of the revised statutes authorizing
the reference OF claims involving con-
troverted questions of law to the court
OF claims for precedent for future
action OF the Executive Department OF
the government. He avails himself OF
this provision and directs that the case
be sent to the court Of claims.

SAM YUpS AND THE ZEE YUpS.
A Fierce Boycott War Raging
in Chinatown.
The Chinese Blk Companies In San Fran
Disco Baily Divided Tho Trouble
Caused by the Murder OF Member OF
the Sam Hup Company by Eco Yup
Man-Peace Apparently Impossible.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-Chinatown
is In turmoil and boycott war ia
hercely waging. The Chinese elk COM
panies, which for so many years have
controlled matters in the Chinese
quarters, no longer work In harmony
and will probably never again be united.
The quarrel has spread all over the
country among Chinese from here TO
New York.
The trouble originated in the murder
OF Chang Wal, a member of the Sam
Yup Company. Mok Tai, Cav Zee
but his com pauy believed him innocent
and asked the Sam Yups to call off the
prosecution. This they refused TO do
and the Chinese consul sided with the
Sam Yups.
Then boycott was declared against
the Sam Yups by the Z.e Yups The
Sam 4ups prise the Weather
classes OF Chinese. who do big bust
ness as butchers, while the Zse Yups
are composed of the laboring classes,
mainly customers OF the Sam Yups. The
Zee Yups have started rival shops and a
strict boycott is being waeed against the
Sam Yups, greatly to their'di .comfiture
and financial loss.
Three OF the companies have sided
with the Zee Yups against Sam Yups,
but the fifth, the Yeong company, conn
posed OF the better class of merchants,
hold alo@ from the fray. They, too,
are threatened with war IL they do no
come over into the camp Of the enemies
of the hated Sam Yups. Jaw Men Sang,
president OF the Woeng, who tried to be
diplomatic and not become involved in
the quarrel, has, as result, lost his
position and has been succeeded by Bow
Yte, rival from China.
Bow zee is studying the situation,
and 1t is believed he is awaiting the
the arrival OF Instructions from the
Chinese minister at Washington. The
Chinese consul here, generally man OF
great influence among his countrymen.
is now treated with contempt by all
except the Sam Yups. and he will prob
ably lose his position II the wishes of
the mslority of the Chinese count for
anything. No matter what decision
may be arrived at, the Sam Yups are
ruined, for enmities have been engen-
dered that cannot be removed, except
by their financial ruin.
