HAD A MERRY TIME.
Constellation Chapter, o. e. S.,
Has a Picnic at White Bear.

Constellation Chapter No. 1S, Order
of the Eastern Star, held its annual
picnic at Lake Shore, White Bear,
yesterday. The committee of arrange
ments consisted of Mrs. Frank Lee,
Mrs. Baer and H. c. Munson, to whose
efforts is largely due the success which
attended the outing. The weather was
perfect and the members of the differ
emit Masonic orders present, about 300,
were afforded a most delightful time.
There was no prearranged programme,
each being left to choose his own form
of amusement. Boating and fishing
were the chief pastimes during the day,
while the evening was most pleasantly
spent in dancing, the ladies holding
am informal hop at Ramaley's pavil-
ion. The programme of sixteen num-
bers was of too short duration. Time
passed so lightly that almost before
they were aware of it the late Duluth
train was bearing the jolly crowd to-
ward the city. The picnic was rather
in the nature of preliminary to the
series of midnight sociableS which the
chapter will inaugurate during the
coming winter. Among those present
were Mr. and Mrs. Franklyn w. Lee,
Mr. and Mrs. William Dampier, Mr.
and Mrs. Ed Paradis, Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Peel, Mr.. and Mrs. Drew,
Mr. and Mrs. Amman, Mr.. and Mrs.
Upright, Mr.. and Mrs. c. p. Williams,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Trudgen, Mrs. Baer.
Mrs. Claghorn, Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Bal
lard, Mr. and Mrs. DR.. Woolway, Mr..
and Mrs. DR.. Grieve. The Misses Daisy
and Josie Bell, Gertrude Emerson and
Edna Young, accompanied by a large
number of the Ivy Leaf Dancing club,
went out on the evening train to par
ticipate in the hop.

For the Grand Army of the Re-
public Encampment Next Year.
THE chances of securing the Ma
tional G. A. r. encampment for ST.
Paul in 1896 are very bright" said
Capt. Henry A. Castle yesterday aft
ernoon. "At present there is no 9th
er city in the field, and there was an
expressed understanding at Pitts
burg that st. Paul was to have the
honor of entertaining the veterans
next year. The local committee hav-
ing the matter in charge will leave
for Louisville on Saturday, Sept. Z.
Headquarters for the committee has
been secured at the Gait house, and
as soon as the committee arrives an
active campaign will be commenced.
The committee is assured of hearty
cooperation from many of the larger
states, and there is every reason to
believe that we will succeed. The
matter has not been allowed to lie
quiet by any means. We have been
at work constantly since the idea
was first suggested, and it appears
that our chances are so bright that
other cities which thought of COM
peting for the encampment have
abandoned the idea, so that st. Paul
is at present the ony city bidding
for it,
The local committee has been com
pleted. j. J. McCardy is chairman

ana many veterans will go by that
road, although, of course, there is
no compulsion about it. All the Dads

SIX COMPANIES BREAKING UP.
Internal Troubles That Threaten
It's DiSruptiOn

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2s.-The
1actlonal fight that has been going on
for some time in Chinatown between
the See Yup and the Sam Yup families,
has eliminated in the disruption of the
Six Companies, the most powerful or
ganization ever instituted by the Chi
nese in this country. ALI the efforts
of Consul General Ii Yung Yew and
other prominent Chinese to bring about
settlement of the difference has re-
suited in failure and the Chinese min
lister at Washington has announced
his intention of coming to San Fran
cisco 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 a. depleted treasury.
The boycott started by the See Yups
has nearly ruined the Sam Yup merch-
ants, and if not ended soon it will
cause the retirement from business of
a large number of firms. The boycott
is not confined to this city, but is be-
ing extended to every place in the
United States where Chinese reside in
any number. This state Of affairs has
been telegraphed 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 hand
in the controversy. This is understood
to mean that some OF the leaders may
expect to have their heads Topped off
whenever they return to China, unless
they comply with the commands OF
the minister.

AT $3.50 yesterday afternoon the
two detectives were walking along
Fifth street, near Wabasha, when
they noticed two young men who had
just come out of the postoffice The
officers at.1once put them down as
suspicious characters, and engaged
them. in conversation. Convinced
that their surmise was correct, Koran
and Kenaley marched the strangers
over to the central station. William
Block and John Morrisand were the
names given by the prisoners. Be-
fore being locked up it was learned
that they were not alone in the
city, but they would not tell where
their pals were located. - =:
The two detectives started on "a
hunt, and within an hour had
rounded up three more of the same
gang. The five had come to town
on Monday, it seems, and had taken
a suite of rooms in a block at st.
Peter and Washington streets. When
found by the detectives they We're

though the oldest, Block, is but twenv

enteen, but his actions indicate that
he is well versed in the ways Of
criminals. One of the two first ar
rested had just received a letter from
a girl in Chicago, and it is supposed
they have been following the circus.'
They only rented the rooms here on
Monday last, as stated, and had
not yet got fairly at work.
It is greatly to the credit of De-

they spotted and jailed the gang 50,

villainy they would have accom-

of Chief O'Connor and his men to

MAKES GOOD HIS STATEMENT.
Refused by Judge Egan Attorney
Card Tries Judge Brill.

Attorney E. M. Card made good his
statement that he would apply to
Judge Brill for a writ Of habeas
corpus for the release of Charles R.
Lowe, who is held on charge Of
murder in the third degree on ac-
count of the death of Clara Bergh.
Judge Egan a few days ago refused
to let Lowe go on writ, and Card
told him he would make new appli-
cation to Judge Brill on his return,
and sure enough he did, for he had
his client in before Brill on a new
writ yesterday.
The writ was identical in every
respect to the one sworn out on the
previous occasion, and the argu-
ments were practically the same,
with the exception Of an additional
point raised by County Attorney
Butler against the right Of one judge
to release a prisoner on a writ after
another judge in the same court
had refused to do so.
Judge Brill said he would require
time to consider the case, and would
withhold his decision until Friday.
The fact that one district judge has
/ already passed upon the case makes
lit O. novel one, and if it should
prove to legal for one judge to
this kind, they are liable to be kept
busy by those seeking to avoid trial
for their crimes.

OPENING OF THE GRAND.

9Th Derby Winner, First on the
Boards ut This Popular House.
The regular opening of the Grand
opera house season will take place
Sunday night, when "The Derby Win
ner," AL Spink's celebrated racing and
comedy drama, will do the dedicatory
honors. Manager Kingsbury could
not have selected a more popular at
TRACTION than 1.-The Derby Winner in
the. coming seasons salutatory. The
play with, its strikingly realistic race
track affiliations, its brilliant array. of
scenic beauties, and it's rich comedy
character1zations, made genuine hit
sMfth the local amusement goers last
season, and its return engagement,
fortified by seasons success, will no
doubt; be the occasion for a heartily
enthusiastic demonstration. 1t is a
play for the people,. and it's talented
author, Al Sphinx, has cleNerly massed
kaleidoscope of scenes, incidents
and, situations on the race track,
evolving a legitimate comedy drama,
whose dramatic strength is greatly en-
HANGED by the general excellence of
the production. There is no prettier
scene on the stage than Gen. Grants
old log cabin, and this year this his
toric old home is shown on the stage
just as 1t stands on the old Grant
farm. The stable scene is wonderful-
ly attractive in its absolute complete
ness, with it's genuine race horses in
full view of the audience, its hay loft,
pump and stable Observation-Disclosures
trainers, toutS and stable boys. The
race track scene brings upon the
course thoroughbred race horses. with
regular Jockeys up, and La Cigale, the
famous daughter of the more famous
Troubadour, has the daring and dash
ing lady jockey, Miss Viola Arthur,
on the mount. Miss Arthur has de-
-veloped artistic talents in soubrette
parts, while there is no woman who
can equal her riding a race horse.
Manager Sphinx has greatly improved
his company by the addition of Eddie
.Giguere, the little comedian with a
double voice, who is a big favorite in
st. Paul, his charming wife Blanche
Boyer, Arthur Khern, the Dutch com
ed1an, and Dora Cole. Eunice RAM

ROAD AND HAS PROMPT DIS
TRIBUTION.
UNDER NEW ARRANGEMENT
LOCAL CLERK MEETS TRAIN AT
CAMP DOUGLASS AND HAS
MAIL SORTED.
A PROMISE OF SATISFACTION.
chicago Papers Delivered an
Hour and n Half Later, but
No Matter. ~

dhe hrst fast mail from Chicago
under the new arrangement arrived
T yesterday over the Omaha road. A
local mail clerk met the train at Camp
Douglass and had the mail all sorted
and set ready for prompt distribution
on the arrival of the train here at IL 80.
'Ihe mail was dumped off on the plat
form, and the carriers in the business
section OF the city grabbed up their
olHerent lots and had it distributed
! before some of the business men who
were aboard the train reached their
places of business.
Capt. Hardacre, superintendent of
the local delivery, said the change
gave promise Of working frst-rate.
He mas had to change the dinner hour
OF the carriers, making it one hour
later. The change throws the delivery
OF the mail arriving on the fast train
on the Milwaukee an hour and a half
later than formerly, making it $3.50
instead of that it is delivered. This
delay is made necessary by reason of
the fact that the local man has been
taken off that train, and the mail has
to be taken to the postofTice to be
worked before being sent out But
as the bulk of the mail comes on the
early train, the delay in sending out
that arriving on the Milwaukee cuts
but little figure. AS the Chicago pa
pers are brought in this mail, their de-
livery to subscribers is delayed an
hour and a half.
The switch from the Milwaukee to
the Omaha has proven a disappoint-
ment to. the former, which refused to
furnish car from La Crosse to st.
Paul before the change was made.
Capt. Hardacre said yesterday he had
understood that word had just been
received from the Milwaukee that it
had decided to furnish the car and
it was at the service of the department
If it desired it. But Capt. Hardacre
did not know whether the car was
wanted now. There might be some
advantage in having the mail come
over the Milwaukee, for the reason
that possibly the connection at Camp
Douglass on the Omaha would not
prove as reliable. The question would
be considered.
