That there was such a society in ex-

purport of the organization, 1t was
generally conceded that the Chinese
subjects were dissatisfied with tine
rule OF the emperor and they were
cognlzant OF no other way to over

secret means. None of those questioned
would acknowledge that the headuuar-

spoke of leaders in San Francisco and
New York
One of the best known Chinese mer-
chants in this city said that the move

present government in China and the
substitution of a Republican form OF.

most sanguine anticipations of the
leaders had looked for, and he claimed
that in the United States alone it's

Even the Final Disposition of the

SAN Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 5.-The
excitement caused by the Fitzsimmons-
Sharkey fight has abated, and even
popular interest in the final disposition
of the $4,000 purse Is waning. Sharkey
Is still in bed, and receives visitors in a
room filed with flowers, the gifts of
admiring female friends. He confident
ly expects to receive the purse soon,
although neither side made any move
today. Fitzsimmons says he will re-
main here only until the suit for the
purse is determined and that he will
hereafter be at Dan Stuart's disposal

if he receives no part of the purse.
Most Of the money wagered on the
fight was placed on the question of
Sharkey's ability to stay six rounds It
is now said that Fitzsimmons placed
several thousand dollars on Sharkey to
hold out six rounds, and then took care
that he did not knock his opponent out

GUNBoATs LAUNCHED.
Two Modern Vessels Added to the
Nations Navy.

BATH, Me, Dec. 5.-The new gum
boats. Vicksburg and Newport, were
launched from the yards Of the Bath
Iron Works this afternoon before an
immense crowd. The Vicksburg went
into. the water at 1926 o'clock, and the
Newport followed twenty minutes lat
er. The launehings were successful in
every respect.
At least 10000 persons witnessed the
launching, including representatives
from Newport and Vicksburg. At 1890
the Vicksburg began to slide from the
ways. She left her cradle at 1885 amid
footing Of whistles and applause. AS
the craft started down the ways Miss
Addie Trowbridge, daughter of the
mayor Of Vieksburg. broke bottle of
American champagne on the bow and
ehristened the vessel.
Twenty minutes later loud cheers
again arose, denoting that the New
port had started. Miss La Fargo,
daughter Of John La Fargo, of New
port. and great granddaughter of Com
modore Perry, had the honor of break
ing the wine on the Viewpoints bow.
The new vessels were gaily decorated
with flags and bunting. After the
launching a luncheon was given in the
moulding loft of the Bath Iron Works
by Gen. T. W. Hyde in honor of the
visitors from Newport and Vicksburg.
The boats were lowed to a dock and
moored They will be ready to enter
the navy early next year.

that country would soon get out of some OF
the ruts into which she has fallen. One OF
our party was Chinese girl OF ~ who was
returning to China. The v1ceroy noticed this
young lady, whose name is Margeriette wong,
and sent his private secretary to see her.
After short talk he went back and soon
Lord Lii, the viceroy's son, returned and TOOK
Miss Wong and one of the other ladies, Miss
Hartford to see the old gentleman. After a
Ilong interview they returned. Ii Hung
Chang was so impressed with the ability OF
Miss Wong who is one of most active
workers in converting the Chinese being a
convert herself, that he appointed her as the
representative of the Chinese people at the
worlds congress of women to be held In
London in 1898.
Iii Hung Chang moreover inquired IL there
were any more women in China like Miss
Wong, and DR.. HUI Kiung Eng was brought
to his attention. The doctor is the first Chin
csc woman graduate from a medical college,
she having completed the course in the
Woman's Medical college of Philadelphia.
Both DR.. HUI Kiung Eng and Miss Wong are
converts of the Flu Ca Chau mission and
will be the representatives to the woman s
congress. l believe that the Chinese WOMEN
are among the most intelligent in the world.
By that mean that they have the power to
grasp and learn. OF course in their present
condition they are far from intelligent, but
when they are once converted and educated
a most wonderful change Is brought about.
They have immense possibilities. ~

NIGHTLY HOLD-UP.
Hfghwaymen Keep Up Their Record
for Industry.

The footpads which have been operating in
Minneapolis for some time past are evidently
not satisfied with their ill-gotten gains, for
they continue to operate nightly in various
parts of the city Last evening was no ex-
ception. John Bannan, living at 1906 First
avenue south, coachman for Philip B. Hunt
was on the way to visit relatives about 8
o'clock last evening. When in the neighbor-
hood Of Seventeenth street, between Nioollet
and Blaisdelf avenues he was confronted
by two men, who had their hats pulled well
down over their eyes. At the. point of a
wicked-looking revolever, they commanded
Mr.. Hannah to hold up his hands; cand, being
unprotected, he quickly complied with their
polite request. The two robbers secured s25
in cash and a gold-flled watch as result
of their search of Humans pockets The
matter was reported to the police and from

STORM SUBSIDING.
Sporting Temper at San Francisco
Getting Back to Normal.


SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 5.-The storm
Fitzsimmons raised is rapidly subsid-
| ing. Those who insist that carp rem
dered an unjust decision are no less
emphatic in their assertion than they
were on the day after the fight, but
they have nothing new to add to their
story of fraud. Those who claimed that
the sailor was fouled stand by their
first position which has been strength
ened by the opinion of the consulting
physicians and the decision Of the
bookmakers. Sharkey is still confined
to his bed. and will not be allowed to
leave his room until Wednesday at
the earliest. He is not particularly
presentable object but he rests easily
and tells the story of how it all hap
pened before he lay PROSTATE in the
ring at the feet of Fitzsimmons.
Dan Lynch. manager of the sailor,
has made another attempt to obtain
the money from the bank on the GER
tif1cate of deposit, but the officers de-
clined to pay the money. They ex-
planned that the superior court had
issued an Injunction against payment,
and that no money would be paid I'M
til the restraining order is dissolved.
F1tZSimmOns' hands are considerably
better. and have almost reached normal
size. His future plans will depend in
a great measure on the outcome of the
present legal controversy, though he
will not stay in California longer than
few weeks before going to New York.
Stuart wired him again yesterday, and
asked him to name the exact date
when he would leave for the East. The
Australian wired back that he would
be unable to give reply for another
week at least
A story that Sharl5ey is willing to
compromise with Fitzsimmons gained
currency although it had no founda-
ton in fact. 1t was represented that
he was willing to give Fitz $4,000 out
Of the purse. This was denied by
Sharkey and Lynch, who insist that
they will claim every cent of the
monsy. Local bookmakers are now
paying bets on the fight. They have
accepted the decision of carp as final,
and are giving the winners what is due
them This has had marked effect
in silencing the storm of angry protest
and arguments
