NO CUT IN WAGES.
The Coast seamen's Union Does Not
Fear a Reduction In the
Mems Pay.

A story was circulated hlong the water
front yesterday to the effect that the ship
owners are about to make a cut of So so
and So month in the sailors wages 1t
was caused, no doubt, by the attempt of
the captain of the coal bark Gatherer to
take out o mixed crew on Sunday. II
seems that John Cain offered to get crew
for $22 80 to go on the GatheIer to Puget
Sound, the regular wage being $25 He
secured the first crew, but the latter,
learning of the reduction, went ashore
again. Another crew was obtained, but
with no better lasting success.
Finally he got together a number of
sailors known as the sidewalk brigade,
but it is believed that even these were
promised regular wages. Another instance
of an attempt TO reduce sailors wages was
made OH the schooner Charles Hansen
The captain took two crews, but they left,
refusing to go under regular wages, ana it
was not until the captain promised the
full rate. $50, that he was able to secure q
crew.
Secretary Furuseth of the Coast Sea-
mems Union stated that the union sailors
are treating the whole matter as joke
and even at the neeting last evening the
matter was brought up only TO be ridi-
cule6. He said that This was the wrong
time of the year for shipowners to try to
reduce wages. The recent departure of
the deep water feet skinned the beach, ="
so to speak, of all the men who would un-
dertake long voyages.
Those who have been at work all sum-
mer do not care to go to sea in the winter
time, even at $25 and $780, The cost of oil
skin garments and rubber boots eats up all
OF the profits, and the sailors would rather
spend their time in town or on farms dur
ing the wet weather.

FUNG YUNG HENG
WILL RE TAL|ATE
Twenty Warrants Sworn
Out for Highbinder
Leaders.
Three Organizations Actively
Opposing the SIX Com.
panies.
POSTERS ON THE DEAD WALLS
The Kung Chow Asylum Hesitates at
Putting Up $4,000 to Prosecute
the Consul,
POSTERS ON THE DEAD WALLS

The Chinese Consul General, Fung Yung
Heng, has taken new tack in his dealing
with the hatchet-wielders of the Chinese
quarter. They obtained writ of injunc-
ton in the Federal courts; now Heng,
acting under the advice OF his attorneys,
has had twenty John Doe warrants sworn
out in the Police Court and placed In the
hands OF his special officers.
Whenever a highbinder makes dis
turbance or in any wise offers an excuse
for one of these warrants to be served on
him, he will be booked for vagrancy. BY
this method it is believed the high
binders, being deprived OF their leaders,
will grow discouraged and cease their
work of murder and blackmail.
The STE Yups have been holding some
pretty lively sessions lately and there has
been much pow-wowing over an excuse to
have both the Consul General and Vice
Consul General arrested and prosecuted.
They want the Ming Yung, the KungChow,
the Hop Wo and the Sue Hing companies
to put up bonds for $4,000 or $1,000 each as
guarantee OF fund 10 fight the Consul.
The treasury OF the See Yup Company at
present is in depleted condition.
Three of the companies have agreed to
this proposition. The Kung Chow was in
deliberation over the matter yesterday,
but reached no definite conclusion.
Last Saturday was the regular day for
the companies to pay to the treasurer OF
the Six Com panies the 81 fee imposed on
those Chinese who are thinking Of taking
trip to the Flowery Kingdom. The
Kung Chow made no objection, but the
other three companies fatty refused to
put up their fee. They say they are tired
of paying money into the Golfers of the
Six Com panies, and are going to try to
break them up.
OF the four pres dents of the See Yup
Association who went into hiding last
Friday to escape the bullet or the knife
for signing n treaty of peace. one has
caused to be posted on Chinatown's dead
walls posters denying that he and his
three peaceful brother officers had con-
tributed money for the interpreters ban
quet of Thursday evening. The hatchet-
men believe this was a sort of jolllfication
meeting over the signing Of the declara-
tion of peace.
Through all this turmoil the yellow
emblem of the See Yup Association still
floats triumphantly over their headquart-
ers at $40 Clay street, and the high binders
swear iy at yellow flag and their wrecked
apartments beneath that they will kill the
first person who enters for purposes of
destruction. The Consul-General is now
waiting for reply to his letter to Minister
Yang Yu at Washington, telling what has
been done and the difficulties encountered.

The only thing that makes it possible

the fact that all thinking persons know
the real value contained in a genuine Elec-

the value of real diamond, and those
who do not take the trouble to investigate
are easily led into the belief that the so
called Electric Belt sold for 81 is the same
as the one costing $40 or SIS. There is as
much difference as there is between dia-
mond and piece of glass. No belt gives
electricity unless it can be felt plainly as
soon as applied to the body, and no belt
can be made to generate electricity at
cost of 81.

hundred people by selling cheap Electric
Belt at profit of about 1000 per cent.
Before Electric Bill BEGAN the sale of his

among his audience, and when he offered
his belts at 81 apiece there was a mad rush
for them. He then bought a number of
the belts back at several times the price
paid for them, and this caused the more
timid to invest. After he had disposed of
his entire stock he sang song entitled
