In A TURMOIL.
CHINATOWN STIRRED UP OVER A
BOYCOTT.
Chinese Six Companies Smashed to
Smfthereens and Beyond All
Hope of Repair-QuarreI Has
Spread All Over the Country.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-China-
town is in a turmoil and boycott war
is fiercely raging. The Chinese Six
Companies which for so many years
have controlled matters in the Chinese
quarter 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 origi-
mated in the murder of Chang Wal. a
member OF the Sam Yup company.
Mok Tai, a See Yup man, was ar
rested for the murder, but his COM
pany believed him innocent and asked
the Sam Yups to call off the prosecu-
tlon. This they refused to do, and the
chinese consul sided with the Sam
Yups. Then boycott was declared
against the Sam Yups by the See
Yups. The Sam Yups comprise the
Wealthier classes of Chinese, who do
a big business as butchers, while the
See 4ups are composed of the labor
ing classes, mainly customers of the
Sam Yups. The See Yups have started
rival shops and a strict boycott is be-
ing waged against the Sam Yups.
greatly to their discontinue and
Hnanclal loss. Three of the companies
have sided with the See Yups against
the Sam Yups. but the fifth, the
Yeong Wo company, composed Of the
better class of merchants, holds aloof
from the fray. They, too, are threat
ened with war if they do not come
over into the camp of the enemies of
the hated Sam Yups. Jaw Men Sang.
president of the Weong Wos, tried to
be diplomatic and not become in
volved in the quarrel and as result
he has lost his position and has been
succeeded by Bow zee, a recent ar
rival from China. Bow Yee is study
ing the situation, and it is believed he
is awaiting the arrival of instructions
from the Chinese minister at Wash
ington.
The Chinese consul here, generally a
man Of influence among his country
men, is now treated with contempt by
all except the Sam Yups, and he will
probably lose his position if the wishes
of the majority of the Chinese count
for anything. No matter what
the decision may be arrived at, the
Sam Yups are ruined for the animus
has been engendered that can never
be settled except by their financial
destruction.

TRADE WITH MEXICO.
DIAZ DESIRES CLOSER CONNER
CIAL RELATIONS.
Decline In Silver Has Not Produced
the Detriment That Was Antici-
pated, and May Ultimately Prove
an Advantage.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept president
Diaz, of Mexico, contributes to this
weeks issue of the Manufacturers Re
cord, special interview in regard to the
Increased business relations between the
two countries and the possibilities for
the extension of American trade into
Mexico. President Diaz points out some
thing of the general railroad and indus
trial progress Of Mexico in recent years,
and shows that while railroad construc-
ton during the last five years has not
been very active, yet several important
branch lines have been constructed, serv-
ing to complete the network already eS-
tablfshed, and to connect important dis
tricts. The total length of the railway
system of Mexico is now i, 900 kilometres.
In regard to closer commercial relations
between Mexico and the United States,
President DidZ says that he has not the
least doubt but that this can be brought
about by each country removing from its
laws everything which opposes the devel-
opments of these reciprocal interests
and that, so far as Mexico is concerned,
been conceived in the most liberal spirit
compatible with its interests. Referring
to the industrial progress of Mexico,
President Diaz says:
Commerce and industry have contin-
ued their progressive march, notwith-
standing that in 1892 and 1898 the crops
were short through want of rain, and
that silver. our principal export, has suf
fered a notable decline in foreign mar
kets.'
Respecting this last point, President
Diaz says: 81 believe that in reality the
detriment has not been of the magni-
tude that was anticipated, and this de-
cline has been a benefit TO general in
dustries in the country, and this is easily
explained. The depreciation of silver has
produced a rise in foreign exchange, and

goods, which actually means an advan-
tage to the Industries of the country. The
immediate result of this situation has
been the establishment of new industries,
the extension of those already established
and the encourage of agriculture in
all those branches suitable for exporta-
ton, such as coffee, and quinine, the
values of which have lately increased. ,"

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept with
cholera raging in Japan and Honolulu,
the local board of health has deter
mined to take every precaution to pre-
vent the disease from obtaining a
foothold in this city, and to that end
Chinatown will be subjected to rigid
examination. The physicians compos-
ing the board consider that, if by
chance cholera should gain foot
hold in this city it would make its
appearance in the Chinese quarter,
where the crowded condition of the
narrow streets and ill-ventilat9G
houses have provided a breeding place
for the plague. The board will hold
an informal meeting tonight, and make
all the arrangements for a close house.

If the condition Of the quarter shall
prove as bad as the doctors think it

a compulsory cleansing of Chinatown,
and care will be taken to see that the
orders are carried into execution. An
inspection of the city will follow. y

Mw.e Men to Be Employed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Secretacy
Herbert will appeal to congress for an
increase of enlisted men for the navy
sufficient to utilize the vessels now
nearing completion, probably 1000 to
1000 men At the last session con-
gress provided for the enlistment Of
1000 additional men, but recruits have
not been coming forward, and it has
been found necessary upon several oc-
casions to postpone putting vessels in
to commission. Ever since the Amphi-
trite went into commission in the
spring, the navy has been hampered
in its operations by the lack of able
bodied seamen. So far this state of
affairs has prevented the use of the
Maine and Lancaster, which were to
have gone into commission August 1.
1t is announced the situation has be-
gun to improve and there are men
enough for the Lancaster to go into
commission the 18th instant. In the
case of the battle ship, Maine, how
ever, there is still a shortage OF $50
men, but it is proposed to make up
this deficiency by putting the practice
ship Monongahela out of commission

NO DANGER.
Yet Chicago Proposes to Take Every
Precaution.


Precaution.
CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Although COM
missioner of Health Kerr insists there
is no danger of cholera visiting Chi
cago. he has held a consultation with
his medical assistants and advisers
with a view to strengthening the pre-
cautionary measures against the ad-
mission of the scourge. 1t was deemed
advisable to be prepared, and quar-
antine facilities are being overhauIed
and nut in readiness for any emerrr
e-ency that may arise from the unE
pleasant conditions beyond the Pacific
coast. There is no cause for appre-
hension on the part of this commun-
itv of a visitation Of the disease, and
no epidemic is possible with the most
ordinary care on the part OF the resi-
dents. But reports from the western
country have placed the local authorl-
ties on their guard. Although it would
be a difficult matter to handle the
cholera germs with absolute SAFETY
in any community, there is no danger
of it's reaching Chicago from the west
except it should in some chance man
ner escape the watchfulness Of the
quarantine authorities on the Pacific
coast. Individual opinions differ on
the possibility of an epidemic spread
ing in any of the large cities in the
central part of the United States
should the disease be brought into this
country in any way, but those WIG
have given the matter serious attenA
ton Join in the belief there is no POSI-
sible danger of encroachments of the
disease felt west or its entrance pass
the Pacific coast quarantine stations.

HUNGRY FOR DETAILS.
SAN FRANCISCO WORKED UP OVER
DURRANTs CASE.
Even UnfmpOrtant Statements Eag-
erIy Listened to BY Those Fortu-
nate Enough to Get Into the
Court Room.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-The trial
of Theodore Durrant was dry and I'M
interesting. All of the morning and
most of the afternoon sessions were
devoted to a description Of the dia-
gram of Emanuel church, introduced
as exhibits by both sides. Both prose
cution and defense had had drawings
of the interior of the church made, to
show the exact spot where Blanche
Lamont was murdered. Each attorney
wished his drawing only to he intro
duced, and the greater part of the
day was spent in wrangling over their
respective merits. The only witnesses
examined were the draughtsmen who
prepared the diagrams.
Detective Gibson had been told by
the district attorney that he would
be called at the commencement Of the
afternoon session. but when that time
arrived the draughtsman for the de-
tense was recalled and minutely ex-
amined as to the diagram. AS the TAX
ing. of testimony proceeds interest in
the trial increases.
People seem hungry 1oi ueCdHS, anu
even unimportant statements iby wit
nesses are eagerly listened to by those
fortunate enough to obtain admission
to the court room.
To prevent "a repetition of the strug-
Cling of yesterdays crowd around the
entrance of the court room, the chief
of police arranged today to have a
double line of policemen extending
down the length of the corridors, who
permitted only those to pass who had
business at the trial.
Detective Gibson was the last wit
ness of the day. He described the
finding of Blanche Lamonts body in
the belfry of Emanuel church. There
was nothing new in his testimony. The
trial will go ON tomorrow.
