NEARLY A TRAGEDY.
Sanger Sseyedore's Exciting Time With Some

between them and the crew of the
vessel. Jones held the big head maui
with which he was levelling off the
sides of the shook bundles as they
came into the piles, and one of the
crew, black little Italian, asked him

Instantly the Italian grew angry and
commenced to talk excitedly. Others
of the crew gathered around and lab

their lean little fingers wander around

Jones was alarmed. He called to some
OF his stevedores and not too soon. for
with little cries of anger, the Italians
were on them. with knives cleaning

knee of the big sailor, who swung his
knife blade over the exposed throat
and yelled like maniac.
The stevedores on the wharf were
paralyzed with fear. They expected to

SUNDAY CHINESE CONCERTS.
Their stoppass BY New York Police Mas
Caused Z Loss Of SO. 900.

| New York, Sept 30--A committee of
| Chinese merchants, consisting of Lee
| Quay, Ham zee, and Joe Ching. ac-
companied by Chu Fong, manager of
the Chinese Concert hall in Doyers
street, called at police headquarters,
Monday to see Commissioner Andrews.
| The object of their visit was to have
a talk with the Commissioner about
the police interference with the sacred
concerts which We're formerly given on
Sunday nights at the Chinese concert
hall.
Mayor Strong has interested himself
in the matter, and last week sent a
letter to President Roosevelt asking
him to set some standard as to what
shall constitute a sacred concert in a
Chinese concert hall.
Mr. Roosevelt assured the mayor that
the board would make every effort to
see that no improper interference with
the Chinese was permitted. and that
they would have as much liberty as
any other citizens. With this end in
view, Commissioner Andrews, with
Chief Conlin, has begun to look into the
matter
Gnu Fong said that since the police
stopped their Sunday concerts they
had lost about $4,000. They have 80
Chinese actors, six Chinese musicians
from China, four Chinese stage hands
two Chinese barbers,t two Chinese cooks
and three American helpers under con-
tract. They have to board the entire
company, and they rent the building
at 10 Chatham square for this purpose.
Chu Fong declared that the Chinese
concerts We're sacred in every sense of
the word, and that the actors wear no
stage costumes. They wear the same
Sarb on the stage as they wear on the
street. The concerts. he said, were on
the religious order and had a tendency
to educate the audience in Confucian-
ism. Sunday was the only day on which
the many Chinese laundrymen in this
city and vicinity could go to the thea
tire.
Commissioner Andrews had received
reports from Inspector Cortright and
Capt. Young of the Elizabeth street
station in relation to the action of the
police in stopping the Chinese Sunday
concerts. Mr.. Andrews will make some
recommendation to the board relative
TO the matter in the near future
