CHINESE MUST
OBEY THE LAW
Chief Crowley's Drastic
Letter to the Consul
General.
Firecrackers Must Not Be Ex.
ploded During Their New
Year
All Violators of the Law in This
Respect Will Be Severely
Pun ished.

The lawlessness that has existed among
the Chinese in Chinatown. for years past
eliminating in the murder of Little Pete
has put Chief Crowley OH his m ettle and
in the future the chief intends to pei
the Chinese to abolish the customs f
their own country, which they have been
permitted TO indulge in unmolested.
One OF the privileges granted the Chi
nese has been the indiscriminate use oi
firecrackers during their New Year festivi-
ties. This year that privilege has been
Withdrawn and the Chief has notified the
Chinese Consul that the explosion of fire.
crackers is prohibited by law and that the
violators will be severely punished.
The conclusion of the Chiefs letter to
the Consul, which was sent yesterday,
conveys world of meaning to the Chi
nese. The letter is as follows:
OFFICE CHIEF oE POLICE, !
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27, 1897
Hou. Fung Wing Hing, Imperial hinese Con-
sut-GeHerdl SOC Stockton street, City-DEAR SIR:
Will you please notify your counrymen that
the explosion of frecrackers in this City is
prohibited by law and that the violatorS will
be severely punishedY
No permit will be granted to any one this
year to explode frecrackerS In this City dur
ing the Chinese New Year. In connection with
this matter it may be well for me to state that
heretofore your countrymeu have been treated
with great consideration by the authorities of
this City in matters bearing upon the habits
and customs of their country al or about their
New Year. Recent events have shown that a
very large proportion of the Chinese popula-
lation are unworthy of being granted favors
or privileges OF any kind, because they do not
appear to have any respect for our laws, but
set them at defiance.
When the ire of the American people be-
comes aroused in this matter the Chinese will
discover their mistake, and this question will
probably be settled in q summary way. Re-
spectfully, P. CROWLEY, Chief of Police.

night. The Examiner said on the Mon
day morning following that at 6 o. clock on
the morning of Sunday The Chinese
Consul in this city telegraphed the facts
of the murder to the Minister at Washing

word came back that in China every i'm

secretary of the See Yups was under
arrest"
Bearing in mind that at A. NJ in San
Francisco the time is 9:45 P. NJ. in China,
the palpable fake at once becomes appar-
ent. Allowing that it took one hour for
the transmission of the message to the
Chinese Minister at Washington and for
him to get his message under way for
Canton, and another hour to get the news
to Canton, and it appears plain that it was
then within fifteen minutes of midnight.
The Governor of Canton then had to
rouse the Emperor, who must have heard
the news at A. NJ or therea bouts il there
was no delay. To get word back to San
Fran cisco early SUNDAY afternoon that the
relatives of the See Yup officials had all
been arrested was lively work. Reused at

A Cow AND Pig SToRY.-A letter
from King George county says: There
is in this neighborhood very remark
able "alliance" between cow and q
pig. The cow ha, for some time fur
nished ample milk for family. All al
once she ceased that generous flow and
cut off the supply from the family, and
the sudden decrease in milk could not
be accounted for until the other day,
when the landlord accidentally discov-
cred the cow lying down and the pig
sucking her. Then the two animals
were watched, and at regular hours the
COW came up to the barn, lowed for the
pig, aud when it responded to her call,
She would take it off out of sight, lie
down, and let it suck. Meanwhile, the
pig grew and fattened so rapidly as to
attract attention. The story of this
strange departure seemed incredible,
until many persons visited the "scene"
and witnessed the COW nursing the pig

WILDCATS FIGHT TO THE DEATH

WILDCATS FIGHT TO TEE DEATH
Messenger W. D. Gambler, OF the Weiis
Fargo Express Company, sat IN one
corner of his car on his last trip from
Kansas City east, Monday, holding q
revolver in each hand while he awaited
the outcome of a savage encounter De
tween two wildcats Gagged in wooden
crate hardly wide enough for the AMI
mails to turn about in.
The fight lasted an hour, and when
the growls and snarls had subsidized
enough to give the messenger courage
10 make an investigation he found IN
place of the smaller of the beasts few
tufts of bair and pieces of bone. Inc
fight had heen to the death, and the
larger animal after killing its mate had
deYoured its body. :,
Ihe cats had been shipped from FAN
Brook, Cal, to Bezin Furday, Martin
Ferry, Ohio. They had apparently
lived in peace during the journey over
the mountains until they were trans
ferred in Kansas City.

THE OHIO FLOOD.
'ltiable Condition Of the Poor Who Have Been
Driven From Their Homes.

Cincinnati, Feb. 27.-What seems un-
prccedented In the present Ohio river
Hood Is its persistence at certain stages.
1t became stationary at 8 o'clock yester-
day at 81 feet z inches. and remained 1S
hours at that stage. At present. the con-
dition Cf people driven from home by the
flood Is pi.iabie. With the mercury at
Is. and steadily falling, their suffering
increases. Outside OF the regular charity
OF ganization and the police force. there
has been no provision for the assistance
OF these sufferers. except such as is rem
dered by their immediate neighbors.
Beginning up the. river. the village OF
California Is flooded. It's houses look
like SO many islands rising from out OF
a sea. At Columbia, many families are
driven to the upper stories. and many
are driven clear out Of their homes. At
Pendleton. next below Columbia, the
situation Is still worse. owing to the
great extent of the submerged district
In both these suburban wards, the food
invaded many factories and stopped
work. Over In Newport, the 7-inch rise
since dark Thursday night very greatly
increased the suffering. Not only the
upper part OF Newport. but that portion
lying between the Ohio and Licking riv-
eis is seriously affected. Water, from
a few inches to feet deep, covers this
region to within two blocks OF the court
house. Grounds occupied by the old
Newport barracks are deep under wa
ter. In Covington, along the Immediate
water front, houses are submerged,
while farther up town cellars are filled
with water.
