Disruption of the Six Companies

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2s.-The fac
tional Fl ght that has been going on for
some time in Chinatown between the See
Yup and the Sam Yup families has cul-
minated in the disruption of the Six
Companies, the most powerful organiza-
tion ever instituted by the Chine 80 in
this country. All the efforts of Cons ui
General Ii Yung Ysw and other promi-
ent Chinese to bring about settlement
of the differences have resulted in fail
ure. and the Chinese minister at Wash
in:ton has announced his intention Of
coming to San Francisco and trying his
powers as peacemaker.
The secession of the See Yups from the
Six Companies leaves the latter with the
small end OF the organization and de-
pieted treasury. The boycott started by
the See Yups has nearly ruined the Sam
Yup merchants. and if not ended soon it
will caust che retirement from business
of a large number of firms. The boycott
is not confined to this city, but Is ex.
States where Chinese reside III any num-
Der.
This state of affairs has been telegraph
ed to the minister. A few days ago he
informed the Chinese officials that unless
the boycott was declared off within
twelve days from the date of his telegram
he would come to San Francisco and take
a hand IN the controversy. This is taken
to mean that some of the leaders of this
warfare may expect to have their heads
Topped off whenev er they return to China
unless they comply with the commands
of the m in ister.

Government Agricultural Report

WASH HINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The recent
trip of inspection of the agricultural sta
tions in the west and northwest, under
taken with a view of systematizing meth.
ods and to insure more hearty cooperation
with the department, is discussed in re-
view ~ DR.. A. c. True, the director oi
the experiment stations. He says:
THE low prices prevailing during the
pest year or two, combined with the
drouth and other canses that have re-
duced the yield have led farmers in
most of the region for the tirst time to
appreciate the necessity OF more diversi-
fed agriculture, instead OF depen nd ing
almost exclusively on the great staple
crops, like wheat.
"Throughout the west and northwest
irrigation problems are attracting in
creased attention among farmers, and the
government stations are making extended
irrigation inquiries. There are many
questions relating to the effect of irriga-
ton on the soil and crops that remain to
he solved, and some do not secure as
much consideration as they deserve.
Among these is the matter uf using the
quantities of water containing alkal salts
where used the practice is very likely to
cause serious injury to vegetation.'

1t Is Expected That Testimony Will Be
Reached by the Middle OF Next Week.
Another Witness

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2S.-All par
ties III the Durrant case expect that by
the middle of next week the taking of
testimony will be we'll under way. The
opposing attorneys promise that no time
will be lost as soon as the preiminar rs
are cleared away. 1t is said that each
side will try to impeach tho testimony of
opposing witnesses and some unpleasant
DEVELOPMENTS are expected. The polca
have another witness in the person of
Alexander Zenvger. a member of Eman-
uel church. where the double murder was
perpetrated. Zenger will tastify. it is
said, that he saw Durrant and Minnie
Williams together in front of Emanuel
church short time before the murder on
the night of April 12th. The plan OF
having the sheriff select special venire
OF seventy five citizens was barren of re-
suits today. The special venire was ex-
haust-d but the twelfth juror was not
secured. Two veniremen were accepted
by the prosecution but peremp ptorily chal-
lenged by the defense. Another special
venlre of seventy-five was ordered for to
morrow.
The workmen in the shoe factory where
Durrants father is employed struck be-
cause the proprietors refused to dischargs
Dursant and an Objectionable foreman.
The strike was settled by the discharge

Pearson Valentine, who was last heard
from in Colorado, is the heir to about
100000 worth of property le,r him by his
mother, Lucy A. Valentine, who died in

he will stand good chance of being ar
rested for murder committed in Min

tion of that part of Mrs. Valentines es-
tate which is located in this county.
This property consists of an interest in

her lover and fled. He afterwards went
to his mothers house and told her of
the crime. He obtained no sympathy
from her and left the house never to re-
turn. She sought for him in vain. In
making her will, besides bequeathing
him all her property, she established a
trust fund to be used in searching for the
missing son. If he is not found the
property ali gees to st. Johns Home, in

Arrest
PERRIS. Cal, Aug. 2S.-A telegram
was received tonight stating that W. :.
Wise. a lawyer OF Perris, and editor of
the New Era, had been arrested in Los
Angeles by government authorities for
perjury some time since. Wise went on
a government contractor bond, swearing
he was worth $1,000 above his liabilities.
Later, parties obtained judgment in the
superior court against him for several
hundred dollars. The sheriff failed to
find any property TO levy on. He was cited
to appear in court and sworo he did not
have cents worth of property any
where. hence his arrest. Wise has led
such u life here for several months that
his predioament will create out little
sympathy for him
(W. S. Wise of Perrs was arrested by
Deputy United States Marshal Goodrich
last night. He gave bond in the sum
OF Sl00) for his appearance before Com
missioner Van Dyke at $3.50 this morn

To those who give the matter a little
attention. it must De apparent that the
new coast line OF the Southern Pacific
railroad passing along tho coast and
through San Louis Obispo county will be.
AS it is intended, the favorite route for
travel between Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco.
BY this route. an estimated saving of
eight hours will be made in the time re-
quired for travelling between the two
cities. Ell Moro on the coast, ten miles
west Of San Luis Obispo citv, is only six
miles from the nearest point of the new
line. and there can be no doubt that at
an early date branch road will connect
this charming seaport with the Southern
Pacific system.
The county of San Luis Obispo. BY be :
ing so much more accessible than before
will receive an extraordinary impetus,
and the value of all real estate will be
very much enhanced, as soon as the rail-
road is opened. El Moro will share in this
