THE CHINESE BUTCHERS,
They Can Neither Buy From
Nor Sell to White Dealers
Any More.
A Fight In That Direction Has Been
Begun by the Butchers Board
of Trade.

The butchers have taken up the fight
against Chinese who are engaged in the
trade in earnest In future no member OF
the union can buy from or sell to Celes-
tial, under pain of fine of $50 for the first
offense and expulsion from the Board of
Trade for a repetition of the act.
The following circular has been sent to
nearly every wholesale and retail butcher
in San Francisco:
To the Members Of the Butchers Board Of TrGde-
GENTLEMEN: You are hereby notified OF the
adoption of the following resolution, by q
unanimous vote, at the regular meeting, held
Tuesday evening, July %, 1898. Said resolu-
ton to go into effect ON and after Monday,
July %, 1895:
PesoIued, That no beef, mutton or veal be
sold to the Chinese beef butchers except for
Chinese consumption, and further that no
member of this Board of Trade be allowed to
purchase meats from said Chinese beef butch
ers SAM c. HAMMOND, President.
B. ]. HORN, Secretary.
The fight against the Chinese butchers
began in the Board of Trade nearly nine
months ago. At that time Armand De-
courtieux Jr sounded the note OF alarm,
but the motion 10 fight the Mongollans
was voted down. as the butchers had other
and more important contests on hand.
Decourtieux stuck TO his point, however
and insisted that it would only be few
months before the Chinese would become
so aggressive that action would have TO be
taken.
Time has shown that Mr.. Decourtieux
was correct. TIE Chinese combined and
working together at prohibitive rates, they
have succeeded in capturing considerable
portion of the city's trade. Butchers
wagons from Mob Hill, the Western Add
ton, the Mission, North Beach and South
OF Market street can be seen daily in China
town, between the hours of and A. NJ.
Hind quarters, fore quarters and carcasses
can be purchased from the Chinese from
quarter OF a cent to cent pound less
than from white butcher. a great deal
OF the stuff Is from old COWS and WORKOUT
bnllocks, but the Chinese have no diff
Guilty in disposing of it, and their principal
customers are said to be American citizens.
Again, an American retail butcher has
no difficulty in disposing of the fore quar-
tiers of a bullock, but the demand for the
hino quarters is limited. These he has
been in the habit of selling to Chinese at
reduction, and the latter resells it to
some other white butcher who happens to
want that kind of meat This is all to be
stopped, however The Butchers Board
of Trade has absolutely prohibited its
members from dealing with Chinese, I'M
less in meats that are for Chinese con-
sumption. As they control nine-tenths of
the entire trade of San Francisco, the
movement will be death-blow to the
butchering industry in Chinatown. The
new rule will be vigorously enforced, and
the butchers confidently assert that no
Chinatown meat will in future find its way
into the homes OF American citizens.

pee.
The best informed mem ers of Grace NJ.
E. Church state emphatically that there
is absolutely no truth in the report that
Rev. j. NJ Taulbee, DID,, who preached to
the congregation last Sunday, is to be
recommended to the conference as a sue
cessor to the retiring pastor, Rev. E. Nc
Clish, ID.
DR.. McClish has filled his term of five
years with Grace M. E. Church, and
according to the rules of the Methodist
Episcopal denomination he will be given
a fresh pastorate by the next conference.
The committee charged with recommend
ing a successor consists of T. O. Lewis, G..
S. Holmes, J. J. Newbegin, L. Turpin and
B. Brvon. |. J. Truman, one of the
church trustees said yesterday:
Our conference of the Grace Church opens
on the 9th Of next month, on which occasion
the committee will recommend to us a sue
cessor to Dr. McClish, and we, in our turn, will
make recommendation to the California Con-
ference that opens at Pacific Grove in Septem-
Der. Speaking for myself should say that
none bute member OF the California Confer
ence will be recommended. l do not think the
wish of the church is to have any one from the
East
T. O. Lewis of the recommendation
committee stated that no meeting had
been held since Rev. J. M. Taulbee had
preached at Grace M. E. Church, and that
there was absolutely no truth in the
rumor that that gentleman might be rec
commended. He said:
1t would be premature to state whom we
have been considering, as there are several
names before us and we have not yet made
selection. l will state emphatically that we

When the East sends us man it is generally
one that it can spare, and we have so many
bright men in our own conference that we do
not need to go farther afield.

The State Board of Horticulture, which has
occupied quarters at 800 Suffer street for sew
eral years past, will remove within few days
TO more commodious apartments in the Mills

CHINESE SLAVES in PRISON
Seven Prostitutes Furnish Bail Yesterday
After Having Been Arrested

Seven Chinese dcmi mondaines were ar
rested late yesterday afternoon upon war
rants by Officer Mckenzie and taken to the
city prison in the patrol wagon. The
women were all very badly frightened and
an interpreter had to be sent for before
their names could be obtained.
These unfortunate women, or most of
them at least, are owned by Wong Chez
and members of the highbinders COM
pany to which he belongs. They were i'm
ported from China especially for immoral
purposes and are valued at over $1,000 EACH
A Chinaman opposed to Wong Chez and
the highbinders whom he controls, swore
to the complaint charging these women
with vagrancy, but the District Attorneys s
office very wisely withhold his name, fear
ing that if they divulge his identity he
will be murdered as was Lon Suey.
4 The women had hardly been taken to
Jail when delegation from Chinatown
called at the police station to secure their
release. Mr.. Phibbs, attorney for Wong
Chez, was also on hand and was very
active in securing the release OF the
women.
/. As. soon :, as the prison register was
-graced with the euphonious names of the
females, they were taken into Justice
Morrison's court where an order was
made that they be released upon furnish
ing 500 bail each, which they did, and
returned to bondage in charge of their
owners representatives.

Manuel Dominguez who stabbed Harvey
Branscombe, the Constable of Calabasas,
on Monday evening, and who was shot
twice himself during the melee, is still in

He still insists that he did not cut

and also assaulted his wife, who was sit
ting with him in a spring wagon at the
time he was arrested.
Deputy District Attorney F. +. Willis

He is very low and it is said that he can
survive but few hours.
Manuel DomingueZ has more than once
been in trouble for assault upon other
people. At Calabasas he has been in.

many reasons, and the children of the

circulated some very tough stories about
him.

rectly in front of the car. The motor

the affair is that his wife is near her con-

the shock will be terrible.
A bystander stated to Herald reporter
that he was standing on Spring street

switch, where the trains are tracked" "

until way could be cleared across one

Passenger Rate Cutting

Chicago, Feb. 26.-The Southern Pacific
has called upon Chairman Caldwell of the
Western Passenger Trunk Line Commit
tee for a ruling regarding the action of
the Atchison road in reducing the one
way rate east from Los Angeles. From
the evidence submitted the chairman VIII
be compelled to declare that the action
of the Atchison was not warranted by the
facts as he understands them. The mat
ter will be investigated further and will
come up at the general meeting of the
committee which is to be held tomorrow.
When the Atchison gave notice to the
Southern Pacific of its intention to reduce
it's rates out of Los Angeles it announced
that the cut was to be made to met the
competition of outside lines, because,
as the notice read, I'VE assume that all
the committee lines are observing the
agreement
The chairman decided that the Atchi-
son had submitted no direct evidence
that the rate was being cut by anybody.
The chances are that when the present
trouble is sifted to the bottom it will be
found that it is only phase of the old
trouble between the Southern Pacific and
the Atchison.
Another matter which has given rise
to grave fears of a general decentralization
in transcontinental rates has been adjusted
to the great relief of the Western lines.
Tickets issued by the Southern Pacific
reading via Kansas City to Omaha. thence
to Chicago, have been cut of late. That
portion Of the ticket between Kansas City
and Omaha was a succulent thing for the
scalpers, and they were gathering in large
numbers of the tickets and demoralizing
the rates east and west from Kansas City.
The Union Pacific raised a strong protest
and the Southern Pacific agreed to take
the tickets off the market. The Union
Pacific would have made reprisals if the
matter had continued for few days
longer.
