Organization.

The See Yup association has taken new
tack in its effort to have Consul-General
Fung Heng and Vice-Consul-General King
Ow Yang officially beheaded. Tiring of
the slow progression made in the courts,
they are endeavoring to educate their
countrymen into realization of the al
legged unworth of the two officials in ques-
tion by posting circulars on the dead walls
of Chinatown, proc!aiming them the cause
of all the disturbance existing of late.
The heading of the proclamation Is:
San explanation from the merchants and
Iaborers of the See Yup Company" The
Consul General is accused OF being the
whole cause of the existing trouble, and
the see Yups are eulogized as peacemakers
and general exponents of the Confucian
beatitudes.
"Some lawless white men,, the procla-
nation asserts, "were paid to destroy our
property and produce an excitement
which would lead the ignorant to refuse
to pay their company dues on departing
Tor China. Where are xe going to get
funds for our schools and the four COM
paniesr How are We going to send the
bones of our dead to China?

harmony among us. The greatest male

Taking these murders as a text the

VOLTS nature"
The policeman referred to is commonly
believed to be Lee Fook Ming or an asso-
ciate.
The second part of the article deals with
Yang, the Vice Consul. He is accused of
nearly every crime in the decaiogue, and,
III addition, with using the foreign news
papers to further his ends by informing
them that the See Yups are hignoinders.
These charges are made under the caption
Of the Ten Evils"
The circulars have reused great excite
ment In Chinatown and crowds of curious
Cninese are frequently seen grouped
around them. e-Consul Yang refuses
10 make any statement in regard to the
posters, beyond asserting that the Consul
General mas merely obeyed orders from
MS government, and he himself simply
fills the role of interpreter. He does not
desire to see the strife given any more
publicity.
The case of the See Yups against the
Gonsul-General came up before Judge Nc
kenna in the United States Circuit Court
yesterday. The company asked for per-
manent Injunction restraining the Consul
from further destroying or mutilating
their property and pending the hearing of
tie permanent injunction q temporary
one was asked for. BY consent of Yang's
attorney this was granted.

small cost and relieves them of the idea
of wearing charity Clothes
This department, known as 1.-THE
Clothing Bureau" is the outcome of a
suggestion made by Mrs. Lauyer, secre-
tary of the Womans Auxiliary of the
Episcopal church, at a meeting held about
year and half ago. and it has been in
operation about six months. She stated
at that time that such bureaus had been
started in some Eastern cities and had
been found to be a great-benetit The
suggestion was acted upon by number

Until the new home is finished the
bureau is in one of the back rooms of the
present mission. Yesterday afternoon
there were half dozen women in the
bureau selecting such articles as they de-
sired. One was looking at a pair of bot
tines, but slightly worn, which were Gus

was examining a very pretty sacque of

Sharkey was in town yesterday for the
first time since he took up training quar-

along Market street. In conversation he
said he never felt better in his life

much greater surprise than he expects to
meet with on the evening of Deccm her =.

why the papers do not give me as big
boost as they give Corbeti. FitZsimmons,
Choynski and the big fellows who are
only looking for newspaper noto-iety. My
record is as good as any OF the heavy
weights. Didn't / make Choynski quit
fighting, and were it not for the referee,
who stopped the fight temporarily when l
punched him so hard in the stomach that
he resorted TO a trick to gain time,
wouldn't have knocked him out?
II done exactly the same thing with
Corbett. = couple of hard jabs in the
stomach knocked the wind and fight out
of the talking cham pion, and then when
he was all but gone he resorted to hug
ging and clinching tactics to save himself
from defeat; but of course poor Tom got
the worst OF it all round.

HIRSCH'S LUCKY STAR.
How the Supervisors FIshingRod and
Umbrella Came Back After
Many Days.

many DayS.
Supervisor AIphonse Hirsch saws that
his lncky star has risen and that he is
seriously contemplating EN- barking in the
first big enterprise that come his way.
Mr.. Hirsch has reason to consider himself
fortunate.
year ago a handsome silk um breIla
with curious inlaid silver handle, p,e-
sented to him by his wife, and valuable
imported fshing-rod disappeared simui-
taneousIy from his house, and he long ago
gave up hope of ever seeing them again.
Yesterday, as he was standing in front
OF his kearny-street establishment, he
saw man passing who carried an um-
brelia that looked familiar. TO think was
to act, and in an instant he had stopped
the stranger and inquired where he gained
possession OF the raln-oe etier, and was told
that IL had been purchased recently.
well, II IS mine" said the Supervisor
for there are my initials on the handle. -
Sure enough, they were, and the stranger
consented TO accept from Mr.. Hirsch the
amount he haa paid for the umbrella ard
also 20 tell the pawnshop where he bought
1t. Mr.. Hirsch was thinking of his fish
lng-rod when he asked about the pawn
shop, and at once made his way to the
place designated.
Have You any fishing-rods for sale 2"
he asked the proprietor.
The man al once produced the rod that
had disappeared with the umbrella, and
was dllating on its merits when Mr..
Hirsch told him that the rod was stolen
and demanded possession. The man at
first demurred, but wnen shown the um-
brella aud given further proofs that the
articles rightly belonged TO MIR. Hirsch he
gave in and surrendered the rod Hence
Mr.. Hirsch's belief in his lucky star.
