Last nights meeting on the Island
was one OF the best OF the campaign, and
the escort to the speakers in which the
different clubs participated, was a
grand one. The streets were well lined
with people. and as the escort passed
along, the splendidly uniformed clubs
were applauded and cheered to the echo.
The Elkins Cadets and the Tariff
Champions assembled at the corner OF
Twelfth and Chapllne streets, and at 5
o'clock moved down Chapline street to

IN FAIRY OPERETTA,
Played Rival Queens at the
California for Helpless
Children.
By Request the Operetta Will Be
Repeated for the Same Object
Next Saturday Afternon.

The little fairies, goblins, elfins and all
kinds,of moonbeamy spirtes that appeared
yesterday afternoon on the stage OF the
California Theater earned with their nim-
BILE heels and sweet voices a generous sum
of money for the Children's hospital.
They are all of tender age, these small
mortals personating the fays, not over IA,
and many OF them ten years nearer TO
babyhood but they played their roles with
the precision and the gravity of folks far
their seniors. Long before the curtain
arose on 1.-The Rival Queens" of fairy land
the theater was filled from orchestra to the
higher gallery seats, Tor those nInety-six
little people had sung their pretty operetta
before and had done it well.
The piece opened with the beautiful
scene of the fairies bower where Prince
Leon a mortal having strayed into that
dainty place, lies asleep. Una Fairweather
with her sweet voice plays this role and
looks pretty enough 70 captivate a heart
less susceptible than that of two fairy
queens. Here he is found by Nightshade
(HaEel Thane) a lutte black-garbed fay
who rules the goblin world. She casts her
magic spell over the sleeping stranger and
proceeds to appropriate him for her own.
While he slumbers the fairies dance
around him in a butterfly ballet. The
Prince awakes and makes love to Queen
Rose and is rebuked for his rash presump-
ton.
The next scene is laid in the goblin
cave, where Nightshade rules from her
fantastic throne. Where all was light and
cleaning with color In the fairy bower
here it is dark. Several fantastic dances
take place, the most i'm portaht being the
serpentine, by Ida Maloon, Merle Francis,
Lulu Boreen and Birdie Gage, and the
double skirt by Marie Schenck and Emma
Meserole. Presently Queen Rose is led In
a captive anu is brought before the throne
of her rival, where she plaintively sings
her grief at her misfortune. She had been
surprised while wandering around, dis
guised as beggar mortal, and being with

Last night the following newsboys Wis
tied THE CALL Office as a committee to make
statement of their side of the case: Tap
Williams, Robert Wall, George Wood, Eu-
gene Dougherty, Edward Wall and w.
Baker. Baker was spokesman aud he
said:
1--WE enter positive protest against the
statement in the evening papers that we
propose to boycott the morning papers.
There is not word of truth in the state
ment, because the morning papers treat
us ell right. They have but the one City
edition and the grievance could not arise.
"On Monday night we are to have a
nass-meeting at Geary and Grant avenue.
Speeches will be made by young Happy
Dougherty, by Fatty Stokes and others.

when seated at his desk. The course OF
the bullet and the fact that powder marks
were on Hicks scarf and shirt irresistibly
lead to this conclusion.
Hicks had his revolver in his drawer
close to where he sat at his desk and he
apparently had no time to use it or think
of it before receiving the bullet through
bis heart, but had jumped to his feet and
rushed out of the Office after Mitchell,
who fired another shot at him as he
emerged from the door and the third as
he clutched at his heart and doubled up
with the pain he was suffering Just before
he threw up his hands and fell forward on
his face dead.
There are several witnesses who heard
Hicks agonizing cries when the fatal bull
let struck him. A. S. Grant, whose room
ad joins Hicks room, heard them imme-
diately after the first shot was fired; At
torney Humphreys, whose Office is not far
from Hicks, heard them and so did
others. The cries were so piercing and so
thrilling that these gentlemen say they
can never forget them.
The defense will, it is said, depend a
great deal upon the evidence of Joseph
Silver, who was in Mitchell's room when
Hicks and Mitchell had the fight in the
formers room about three hours before
the shooting. Silver will confirm Mitchells s
statement that Hicks at that time struck
him in the face with brass knuckles. He
went with Mitchell TO drugstore TO get
the wounds on MITCHELL forehead dressed
and accompanied him back to the office,
intending to remain with him for fear of
further tronble, but afterward changing
his mind.
Mrs. Hicks was permitted to see the
body of her husband, but not without
being accompanied by Detective Reynolds.

WINNERS OF TIE RIBBONS

Below lofty eucalyptus trees on the one
hand and great fir-tree clad hills on the
other lay the polo field of the Burlingame
Country Club, crowded with all descrip-
tions OF coaches, dogcarts and other vehi-
cies and various breeds of noble horses.
It was the scene of the first open-air horse
show of the Burlingame Country Club,
and it was quite as English in costume as
1t was picturesquely horsey.
Well-known and prominent business
men and society leaders entered hand
some aud spirited string of horses. The
judges and the ringmasters and many
others of the club were attired in coach
ing-club style.
The scene, with its hagpole of colors
waving in the lazy breeze, its bright blue
coated band on knoll, its stylishly
dressed and swell coterie of spectators
arranged on one side on an eminence on
long rows of seats, the strong-Iun ed
bugler with his long, silver horn. sum-
monlng the competitors to their places,
the ring full OF prancing steeds, was a
brilliant one. The bright costumes of
many ladies lent additional grace and
picturesQueness.
1t was fine string of horses that was
entered. That horse that was awarded no
IlDDOu dt dA was SuInclently me, and
those that trotted off with the silk pre-
miums floating at their temples had man
aged to secure the ribbons through some
superior or fortunate skill of their drivers
or riders. In many OF the classes the
horses were driven by their owners
All the spectators voted the first horse
show great success and President J. d.
Grant and other prominent memb bers of
the club so declared it. 'tAfter this" said
President Grant, we shall endeavor to
make the horse show broader affair by
giving entrance TO the horses of the county
(San Mateo)" All the horses Yesterday
were California bred.
The programme began at 10 O'Clock in
the morning and was concluded about 5 in
the afternoon. At noon there was an in
termission for a delicious lunch, which
was delightfully."- served on a veranda OF
the club.
In class u Henry ]. Crocker, after
driving twice through two obstacles, un-
necessarily tried it again. He crashed
into them and lost credits which be might
otherwise have held.
In the polo-pony con test Texas Siftings,
ridden by II. G. Breeder, was clearly the
most graceful. This contest was quite
close and the judges had TO request sew
eral OF the entries to ride a second time
between the poles. The second time
Texas Siftngs struck several poles and
dropped into third place.
In class 81, many spectators thought
Bob, the brown entry of Charles A. Neave,
was entitled to the blue ribbon instead OF

the judges thought b jumped too high.

friends came to the ConsuPs quarters, on
Stockton street, between Clay and Sacra-
mento, and warned him to be on his guard.
Accordingly a stalwart police officer now

ut is q mistake" said the Vice. Consul
General yesterday, ito suppose that the
present trouble lies between the See and
the Sam Yups. That is only subordi-
nate issue now.
THE real status of the case is that the
trouble exists in the See Yup Company
alone. 1t is composed OF twelve high
binder organizations, six of whom are
now neu traI, while two, the Bo Ong Tong
and the Bo Leong Tong, are at war. The
Bo Ongs are assisted by the Sue Sins
long and the Hip Sing Tong, the Be
L ongs by the On Y ick Tong and the Hor
Sing Tong.
CAS- reg ards the cause, you know a;
m uch as do, but my belief is that the
trouble originated over the elections las
held in the Kong Chow Asylum"
"Do you realize the danger you are in p
''Certainly," +" said the Vice-Consul-Gen
eral, laughingly, ''but it will do no good
TO kill us. New men will take our places
at once. 1t will simply be change oi
regime"
Owing to the fact that four of the presi-
dents OF high binder societies In the See
Yup Company have signed a treaty oi
peace pursuant tosthe orderof the Chinese
Minister at Washington, an edict has
been issued that they, too, must die. and
now they are in hiding. The See Yups
are also infuriated over the alleged en-
bezzling of funds left oyer after fighting
the registration act.
The rooms of the prescribed presidents
were entered day or two ago, the furni-
ture broken and the beds thrown into the
street. One vice-president was caught and
pummeled into insensibility.
An order has been issued by Judge Nc
Kenna restraining Fung Yung Heng, the
Consul General, and was served upon him
yesterday. Yesterday morning Reddy,
Campbell & Metson, the See Yup Com
pany's attorneys, filed in the United
States District Court bill in equity to
enioin the Chinese Consul and Vice
Cons sui from further entering the meeting
