ABDUCTED A WOMAN
Wong Foy Steals Wong Sikee, but He
Is Caught
Inc woman Returned to Her Former Life,
While Foy Is Allowed to Depart-Story
of Chinese Life

Mention was made exclusively in the
HERALD, Sunday, of Chinese abduction
case, the full particulars OF which we're
not at that time available. 1t appears that
on Saturday night Chnaman by the
name of Wong Foy, who has long had his
eye on Chinese woman, Wong Skee by
name, sent friend of his into the house
where she was stopping on Marchessault
street, and induced her to run away with
him. Wong Sikee is understood to be a
slave OF the Wong Chez company, and was
more than willing to accept any chance to
get away.
Accordingly she skipped with the festive
Wong Toy, and a bee-line was made from
the corner of Alameda and Marchessault
for the San Fernando street depot to catch
the night train for San Francisco Her
escape was discovered, however, and while
two OF the Chinese hurried up town to
swear out warrant for the arrest of the
woman on some trumped.up charge ,others,
with couple of private detectives, went to
the depot. The absconding pair were
caught as they got on the train, and the
woman was captured and returned to her
life of sin. Wong Toy was permitted to 90
ON to San Francisco, and probably won't
return in hurry, as life for those who look
with covetous eyes upon the female chattels
OF another man is made somewhat unpleas-
ant by the denizens of the Chinese quarter
in their own peculiar, childlike way.

Cubans. The spirit of liberty which we
had invoked in 1915, he said, was not
bounded by the metes of continents nor
the vast ocean itself. He referred with
pride to the fact that he, while minister to
Brazil, had received instructions from Mr..
Blaine, then secretary of state, to open
diplomatic relations with the prov isional
government of Brazil when Dom Pedro
was dethroned.
"Now, sir, shall we hesitate when this
other child of freedom calls upon us to

Mr.. Turner sad the Cubans had no cap

freedom, was in New York. Mr.. Smith
said no aspersions should be cast on the

CROWLEY'S RESIGNATiO,

No Pension Is Due and the Chief Will
Stick
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2.-At the meet
ing of the police commissioners tonight the
resignation of Chief Crowley was placed on
file and it was given out that consideration
had been postponed until April j.
After the board had transacted the rou-
tine business the members gave considera-
BILE consideration to a matter brought to it's
attention this afternoon, the effect of
which will probably be to cause the chief to
accede to the request of the commissioners
and withdraw his resignation indefinitely
The fact Is that in the opinion of num-
ber of lawyers if Chief Crowley should re-
tire now he would not be entitled to PEN
sion because he has not served twenty
years since his appointment, as required
by section 3 of the pension bill. His entire
service as chief has been nearly twenty
four years, but prior to 1879 the office of
chief of police was elective, and therefore
it is held that that service of Crowley can
not be counted in considering his applica-
ton for pension.

that 1873 Republicans, 70 Democrats and 8
Populists voted for the resolutions and o
Republicans and 8 Democrats against
them.
The debate which preceded their adop-
tion was animated and breathed spirit of

war were uttered, but there was no stem

The setting of the scere was brilliant.

ALTGELD ON SILVER.
The Governor of Illinois Talks
Free Coinage.
Extracts From His Speech In The Audi
tOrium Which Are Worth
Reading.

For number OF years there has ex
isted throughout the civilized world
severe depression with a constantly
increasing train Of bankruptcy, ruin
and misery. Nature has yielded her
harvest as bountifully as ever and the
intelligent, energy AMI ingenuity Of
man are as great as ever. We must
therefore conclude that this sad condi-
tlon is due to some unnatural and, ex-
traordinary cause. That cause is the
volume OF money in the world, incident
to destroying silver as II money metal.
The financial question, in its reIa-
tions to the commerce, the history, the
enterprise and the prosperity of the
world, is governed by certain funda-
mental laws or principles. When these
are followed all is well. One OF these
fundamental laws now universally re.
cognized is that increase in the volume
OI money in the world raises the sell
ing price OF things, while reduction in
the amount OF money in the world low
ers the selling price OF things. An
other OF these fundamental laws now
universally recognized is that with ris-
ing prices go increased activity, enter
prise and prosperity. Putting more
money into the world is like putting
more blood into the body; it gives new
life, while falling prices stop enterprise,
check industry and produce stagna-
tOn and distress, because debts, taxes
and fixed charges never fall with the
prices OF things, consequently more
property has to be sold to get the same
amount OF money in order to pay the
debts, taxes, etc, so that the debtor
has no money left to spend. This soon
destroys the market for commodities
so that manufactures cannot sell their
products and are consequently obliged
to shut down. This, in turn, destroys
the purchasing power OF the laborer, SC
that there is paralysis and distress
around the entre circle of business in
dustry.

wrong to adopt the present market ratio,
which is the result OF giving gold
monopoly OF the money func, ion in the
world and OF demoneiizing silver by

silver by law. To do this would be to
permantly lower the value OF silver and
to reduce the volume OF money which
could be coined from it in the future.
1t would be II little like making the
present low price OF wheat permanent,
and it is probably that the whole pro-
ducton OF both metals will he INSULT
