In reply to this challenge Rev. Donald
Ross writes as follows:
SAN FRANCISCO, Decembrr ., 1895.
Reu. p. C. TorkC, Chancellor, Archdiocescof San
FrdnciscO-DEAR SIR: / have read your letter
of Sunday with even more surprise than the
one of Friday. l thought you would be preach
ing on Sunday instead OF making bets. You
insist on betting in order to prove my quota
ton incorrect. But will betting prove that?
Did bet ever prove anything? Surely you do
not think the readers of the San Francisco
dailies WILL follow you in your contention that
bet is necessary to decide the truth of state
mems attributed TO me? Your bet, sir, is only
q side issue and has nothing to do with the
truth or falsity OF my statements; or rather the
statements OF Dr. Strong, but which you say
are mine. If you wanted me to prove to only
three persons in room with doors shut 10 the
public that these statements were false, why
did you give the challenge TO the public?
You should have taken the advice OF
that church which saws that when man
sins openly he must openly make confession.
You brought the public into this challenge and
when my interview with reporter was pub
lished in the Examiner you jumped on me
again and said you 'impugned me for forgery
and bearing false witness" l then wrote you
accepting your challenge, not your bet. Ac-
cepting your bet viii neither prove me truth
full nor false in the matter charged, but ac-
cepting your challenge will. You speak OF
forgery; had you not better leave that for the
decision to show whether | am forger or not?
But are you not aware that at this moment the
Roman Catholic Church OF Manitoba with the
Archbishop 1t its head, is charged and con-
victed OF forgery in the matter of the provin-
cial constitution, q forged one being substi-
tuted for the genuine in order to put in a
clause favoring parOchial schools?
Now that this matter is before the public for
proof, l shall go ahead and keep my faith with
the public whether or not you meet me to de-
lend your proposition or TO impugn my author
tiles. shall prove to 300 lawyers and to 300,-
900 people that my statements are all true in
fact and based upon Catholic authority.
You may hide behind paltry hundred-dol-
lar bet, but the pile is not big enough TO hide
you. on the occasion named in my acceptance
of your challenge shall be on the platform
of the Mechanics Pavilion, with proofs forth
coming. You would show up better there,
Also than hiding behind a placard with the
glaring headlines across 1t, "a Betting Priest"
Yours, sincerely, DONALD NJ. Ross.

and eight-twentieth cents day. That is
to say. she was paid S. during the term OF
her service.
Being unable to collect any more money,
she resigned her position and wrote her
employer letter asking him to liquidate
the wage account.
After a lapse of time she received anoth-
er five-dollar payment. This was followed
by a second liquidation in the same
amount; but subsequent applications elic-
ltlng no response, and being unwilling to
give her services for six months at the rate
OF seven and one-seventh cents day. she
placed the matter in the hands OF II. ii.
McPike for collection, and suit was
brought.
Miss We'll says it is unpleasant to
work for coolie wages, but adds that she
would not have crowded her former en-
ployer had he not tried to repudiate her
claim. She was not working on fixed sal
ary, but by the folio, and the labor per-
formed she asserts would average over $40
q month.

PEACE IN CHINATOWN
The 81 On Says and Weh Tengs Agree
to Quit Cunning for Each
Other.

The bloody 81 On Says and warlike Wah
Tengs have ceased hostilities and signed a
truce of peace. For several weeks the
members of these two societies, which are
branches of the Sam Yup Company, have
engaged in serious warfare all on ac-
count of an unpaid banquet bill. The first
shot was fired week ago last Friday, and
ever since then the highbinders of the
respective societies have been going about
looking for good opportunities to decrease
the population of Chinatown without being
caught by the police. A week ago yester-
day early in the morning two of the 81 On
Say men were fired upon by six of the
Wah Tengs. The first shot was at very
close range from big Colts, and accord
ing to the single white eyewitness, 1t
struck 81 On Say in the abdomen and
doubled him up, but he was on his feet in
a moment with blood in his eye, and with
his single companion soon drove the
larger force of :he enemy from the field.
q Chinaman shot in the abdomen could do
such things, but he knew little of the
Chinese habit of wearing coats of mail.
Sergeant Davis and his men arrested
one man supposed to have been engaged
in this affair and detern ined to take Wig
orous measures to put an end to the war.
He called on the Chinese Consul and got
the Chinese companies policeman to point
out six of the Wah Teng highbinders, who
were lodged in the City Prison on charges
of vagrancy. This made the societies
amenable to reason, and the sergeant
finally brought them together, and after
several conferences, in which the sergeant
was assisted by Wong Took, treaty of
peace was signed. The row was all over a
dispute about the payment for banquet
in which the mem bers of the two societies
had indulged. They will soon celebrate
the return of peace with another banquet.
but the bills will probably be paid in ad-
vance.

Ten Years Imprisonment.

George Pullman was sentenced to ten years
Imprisonment in the State prison by Judge
Wallace yesterday for grand larceny. Putt
man before sentence was passed made a long
speech, in which he scored his attorney. but the
court called attention to the evidence given in
the case, and announced it as his opinion that
not only grand larceny but robbery, the
original charge, had been proved. There was
also prior conviction for petty larceny against
the prisoner and so he was given the full limit.

The American Farmer and His
Enemies,

1t is clear fight between Chicago
and New York, with the people in
favor of the former, and the Germans
and Brices for the Havemeyers. The
Chicago packers demand an open
chance to sell meats to Germany and
the other foreign countries. The beef
and pork raisers of the whole nation
are with them in this contention.
In order to enjoy this seasonable
opportunity it is necessary to permit
Germany to come across and offer her
products to us, including sugar. This
Germany can not do under the present
law of exclusion, dictated line by line
by MIR. Havemeyer of the sugar trust.
This trust has bought of the misrepre-
sentatives of the people its right to ex-
clude all competitors and the resultant
right to break down the packing inter-
ests and the beef and pork raisers of
the country. Will the people endure
this fragrant outrage? 1t is an injus-
tice that does not stop with the pack

consumer finds it necessary to buy. In
the face of such greed and injustice,
the ungrateful wretches in senatorial
robes whom the people have trusted
and hcnored, dare to turn their backs
upon the country and to extend both
hands with the grasp of shameless
completely to the Havemeyers who.
with licensed rapaeity. use the gov
ernmert in their private sugar bust
ness. The people Of the country are
standing with Geo. r. Davis of Chicago
and others in their strenuous efforts
to induce Germany 20 reopen her gates
to American meats. They demand
with him and with the Chicago pack
ers that he represents the immediate
repeal of the Havemeyer differen,ial

ANY one who has ever had an at
tack of inflammatory rheumatism
will rejoice with Mr.. j. A. Stumm,
220 Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, over
his fortunate escape from siege of
that distressing ailment. Mr.. Stumm
is foreman of Merriam 5 confectionery
establishment Some months ago, on
leaving the heated work room to run
across the street on an errand, he was
caught out in the rain. The result
was that when ready to 60 home that
night he was unable to walk. owing
to infammatory rheumatism. He
was taken home, and on arrival was
placed in front of good fire and thor
oughly rubbed with Chamberlain s
Pain Balm. During the evening and
night he was repeatedly bathed with
this liniment. and by morning was
relieved of all rheumatic pain. He
now takes especial pleasure, in prais-
ing Chamberlain Pain Balm, and al
ways keeps bottle of, it in the house.
