HING LEE RAISED A CROWD.
His Laundry Was Being Robbed AMI
He Called for the Police.

Hing Gee is the proprietor of laundry
at No. 1926 | street northwest. He spent
yesterday in Chinatown and returned to
his shop about 8 O'Clock last night. When
Hing opened the front door he saw col
ored boy standing behind the counter calmly
sorting out choice collection of freshly
laundered collars and cuffs.
Hing shut the door with bang and
started down the street with his queue
standing straight out behind him. Police!
Policel'' broke the Sunday evening still
ness. 'Helpee, helpeel" shouted the fright
ened Chinaman. In a moment the entire
neighborhood was up in arms. Men rushed
| out of their houses, hatless and coatless,
and followed the pigtail. He finally ran
into Officer Hunt and the crowd returned
TO the laundry.
Meantime some one had sent three tele-
| phone messages to the First precinct sta.
| tion-house, and few moments later the
wagon dashed up with Sergt. Moore and
| Officer Tayman.
The house was surrounded and trembling
| Hing Gee unlocked the front door. |he
| police found a frightened negro crouching
/ behind a counter. BY this time a great
crowd had gathered and pushed and
struggled around the door At the station
house the colored boy gave his name as
| Joseph Haryiss. He said he only wasted to
| get his lRuE1y.

TOTAL OF SOC.
This aggregates n grand total OF SOC,
which will not be decreased by the con-
vention, but will probably be slightly in
creased, as indicated above.
In addition 10 Territorial disputes, It
sometimes happens that several districts in
the various States send contesting dele
cations, but such contests affect only the
temporary organization, and are all dis
posed of before the completion OF the per-
manent organization.
The st. Louis convention will he called to
order by Senator Carter, chairman of the
Republican NationalC lCommittee. Itisalway VS.
customary for the committee TO select i'll
advance some one who shall be designated
TO serve as temporary presiding officer.
As Il general thing the convention ratifies
the selection made by the committee, but
such course is entirely optional, ana the
person named might be rejected.
Although this seldom happens, such was
the case in 1888, when Powell Clayton was
named as temporary chairman. 1t WAS al
legged that his selection had been made in
the interest of Mr.. Blaine's candidacy, and
the convention refused TO accept him, elect
ing instead John Lynch, Of Mississippi.
The temporary chairman Will appoint
the committee on credentials, the most
important committee of the convention
as it must settle all disputes and give his
standing TO each delegate. But in making
his appointments the temporary chairman
has no arbitrary power. Each State and
Territorial delegation holds a preliminary
caucus and selects a member of the deega-
ton who shall represent the State or
Territory on each OF the committees.
SELECTION OF OFFICERS.
The appointment is made in pursuance
with the designation, and the convention
ratifies the announcement of Tie committee.
The permanent chairman appoints the
committee on resolutions, which will pre-
pare the party PLATFORM In precisely the
same way and under the same limita tions
as the temporary chairman does that OH
credentials. Each delegation is entitled
to one representative on each committee.
Should Arizona, Oklahoma and New
Mexico each send six delegates to the
| convention, and they be given seats, as
does not seem improbable, the convention
would contain 919 delegates, and it woulc
require 460 votes to make nomination.
There has been little gossip up TO th
time as to who will be chosen by the Ma
| tional committee to serve as temporar,
presiding officer. The selection will
naturally be made in the interest of tina
| Presidential candidate who has the larges
| following among the membership OF TIL
| committee.
For this reason the impression general
prevails that the convention will likel,
duplicate the performance of 1888 b,
| taking the matter into its own hands, ignor
| ing the recommendation OF the committe
| and eIecting a man Of their own choosing
| thus furnis hing something in the nature o
