PUBLIC POKER PLAYING.
The Police Are Instructed to Enforce
the New Ordinance.

The Police Are Instructed to Enforce
the New Ordinance.
A certified copy of the ordinance prohib
iting the playing of poker in barrooms or
public places was received by Chief Crow
ley on Monday evening and he immedi-
ately gave orders for it to be printed in the
form of circular.
Yesterday morning Captains Whitman,
Spillane, Dunlevy and Gillin had a con-
sultation with the Chief, and they were
instructed to see that a copy of the cir
cular was delivered to every saloon-keeper
and owner Of 4 poker resort in their re-
spective districts, and after a reasonable
time if the provisions of the ordinance
were violated, to get warrants for the arrest
of the offenders.
II will see that the law is enforced,
said the Chief "but it is only right that
people should first know what the law is.
Poker-playing has beer going ON for years
in some barrooms and it would not be fair
to make any arrests until the provisions of
the ordinance get publicity, and the proper
way is to send a copy to every one con-
cerned. Then there can be no excuse that
they did not know they were violating the
law"
The ordinance reads as follows:
the game of poker In any barroom or public
place; or for any person. having possession of
or being in charge OF any barroom or public
place to permit the game of poker to be played
therein; or for any person to play with or per-
nit any minor to play the game of poker in
any room or place adjacent to or connected
with any barFoom or public place, Or else
where; and upon conviction thereof, such per-

was careful, however, TO keep his thoughts

occasional reference to Armer's imperti-

The news of Armer's confession spread
all over the Bohemian quarter in a short
time, and those of the artists who had
French dinner last night attended to it
that the wine was Of the best quality, and
that the label had not been stolen from the
design of an art student in Paris.
Considerable trouble is likely to occur
over the developments, owing to the fact
that "steaP' should have won the prize

THE PACIFIC
SENATOR PERKINS AND SUGAR.

states that Senator Perkins Op
poses the annexation of Hawaii
because Louisiana, Nebraska and
California can produce all the
sugar required in the United
States. These few remarks drop
ped by the Senator from CaIifor-
MIA may be taken as the slogan
which the Sugar Trust and it's
satellites will use against annex
alton. BY Hawaii's sugar produc-
ton that august assembly of
cinching magnates will attempt
to turn the scale against Us and
force a prOtectOrate and discrim-
mating duties upon us.
We are not aware that Senator
Perkins has any connection with
the Trust. He very likely is vOic
ing the sentiments of some of his
short sighted followers, but it is
upon the mistaken and narrow
vision of Perkins and his follow
ers that the willy Trust will play
in it's attempt to shut out Hawaii
and Hawaiian products from the
United States. 1t is fairly clear
what the line of attack will be,
and who will be behind it; but
how selfish, how supreme1y mis-
guided, how unstatesmanlike is
this bare faced scheme to brighten
Americans with the recently ere
ated hObgoblin of Hawaiian su-
gar. From the remarks made by
Senator Perkins one might be led
to believe that with the admission
of Hawaii every beet sugar and
every cane sugar producer, pres
ent or prospective, would be
obliged to 90 out of business.
OF course it must be admitted
that the string of protection will
be harped on most vigorously in |
the next four years; it's a good |
string and we have nothing
against its music, but we would
like to know if any sane American
statesman possesses the foolish
idea that it is for a sugar market
and sugar market alone that Ha-
waii asks political union with the
United States. We would also
like to know if Hawaii's import
ance to the United States as an
ocean outpost is to be overbal-
anced in the minds of American
by an annual SUI
gar product of something less
than 100000 tons. We can give
that Hawaii's interest
in annexation is not completely
swallowed up in a sugar barrel
AS for the United States.
Senator Perkins speaks only for
a narrow, parsimOnious, self seek
lug policy. If in his. remark re-

waiian sugar into his country he
gives fair sample of the pre-

DOWAGER EMPRESS DEAD.

Peking. June 21.-The mother of the
Emperor died on Friday.
The dowager Empress OF China,
Tsou-Hsi, was born in 1894 and became
the wife of the Emperor I-Tchou who
reigned from 1850 to 1861. His son,
Emperor Tsai-Tchoun, reigned from
1861 to 1875. Upon his death the pres
ent Emperor succeeded with the title
of Kuang-HsI, being then years Old.
He is a nephew of Emperor I-Tchou,
and was adopted by the latter's widow,
Empress Tsou-Hsi upon his succession.
He reigned under his adopted mothers
regency until 1889, when he assumed the
sovereignty. The dowager Empress,
nevertheless continued to be a power

Peoria, H., June 21-It is highly
probable that the Illir0is State Demo-
cratic Committe viii complete its work
of naming a State ticket and delegates
at large TO the National Convention in
one day. All the plans have been ar
ranged with this end in view, and W..
H. Heinrichsen, chairman OF the State
Central committe said to-day that the
freo silver men had decided to do this
and that they had the strength to carry
their point. He says that 1854 OF the
1869 delegates are instructed for free
silver and that they will adopt free
silver platform. AS yet there has been
no one talked of for Governor but John
P. Altgeld. 1t is conceded by every
ore that he will head the ticket.
Governor Alleged arrived this even
ing from Springfield. He found a large
number of free silver delegates await
ing him. An informal conference was
held in the Governors rooms, in which
the programme for Tuesdays State
Convention was discussed and reports
were made to the Governor Of what had
been done. All were agreed that one
day would be enough to transact all
business that would come before the
convention. No one here believes the
gold standard men in the party will bolt
the Convention.
