drews, in the supreme court yester-
day, heard arguments on the motion
for an injunction which is asked for
the purpose of preventing the Brook

THE HEATHER CHINEE.
No Moro Privileges to Be Accorded
Them in San Francisco.
LawIessness That Has Prevailed in China
town ArOuses the Chief of Police
to Action-Issuss an Edict
to Chinese Consul

The lawlessness that has existed
among the Chinese in Chinatown for
years past, eliminating in the murder
of Little Pete, has put Chief Crowley
on his mettle, and in the future the
chief intends to compel the Chinese TO
abolish the customs of their own coun-
try, which they have been permitted to
indulge in unmolested.
One of the privileges granted the
Chinese has been the indiscriminate
use of fire crackers during their New
Years festivities. This year that priv
ilege has been withdrawn, and the
chief has notified the Chinese consul
that the explosion of fire crackers is
prohibited, and that the violators will
be severely punished.
The conclusion of the chiefs letter
to the consul conveys a world of mean
ing to the Chinese. 1t follows:
Heretofore your countrymen have
been treated with great consideration
by the authorities of this city in mat
tiers bearing upon the habits and GUS
toms of their country at or about their
New Year. Recent events have shown
that a very large proportion of the
Chinese population 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
becomes aroused in this matter the
Chinese will discover their mistake, and
this question will probably be settled in
a summary way"

A Great African Lake.

The region of Lake Rudolf in the
Ozark continent" will soon become well

have supplemented DR.. Donaldson
Smiths travels in that part of the

Neumann, has followed the track of
the original explorers along the eastern
shores of the lake, while an italian, Capt.
Bottego, is now on his way to Nombasa.
Lake Rudolf was discovered by Count
Telelti in 1888. 1t has no visible outlet.
The present researches around this

INDIANS TO BEGIN LOGGING.
Wisconsin Red Men to Cut Timber on the
Red Clif Reservation.

Red CLIFF Reservation.
The Indians on the Red Cliff reserva-
ton in Wisconsin are to go into the
logging business. The government has
not yet sold any pine on this reserva-
ton, but it has been decided to let the
Indians begin logging their timber, and
the logs thus cut will be sold next spring
to the highest bidder.
Capt Scott, who is in charge of La
Pointc agency, has received letter
from Washington containing specifica-
tions as to how the timber should be
cut, and he has gone to the reservation.
A portion Of the timber on the reserva-
ton has been burned over and will be
ruined unless cut this winter, and the
government has authorized Capt. Scott
to begin the work at once. A sum of
money has been placed at his disposal
with which to conduct the logging oper-
ations, and next spring, when the logs
are sold, the government will be REIN
bursed for the money advanced and the
remainder will be turned over to the
Indians.
A number Of camps will be put in at
once under Capt. Scott's directions. In
dams will be employed in these camps
as far as possible, but a number of
white men and teams will be employed
in the work.

New York Physicians Interested in the
Case of Henry Chenowitz.
Henry Chenowitz, a mason SIS years
old, has returned to his home in Long
Island City after recovering from n
surgical operation by which the whole
of his tongue was removed. Cheno-
WITT case has attracted considerable at
tention by reason of the fact that he
now talks almost as we'll as he did be-
fore he lost his tongue.
The trouble which necessitated the
removal of the tongue first manifested
itself three years ago. He washed il
with lotions, but the soreness increased
and he suffered greatly, particularly
at night and previous TO storm. Final
ly his family physician recommended
thatthe patient be removed to st. Mark
hospital in New York city. This was
done in November last. The disease
had so far advanced that the hospital
physicians decided that the only way
to save Chenowitz' life was to cut his
tongue out. It's removal produced q
copious flow of blood, which continued
for IS hours, but was finally stopped.
For some time after the operation ]
was compelled to take only liquid food
by tube" Chenowitz said, but as the
mouth healed I discarded the tube and
now can eat better and talk better thar

FORTUNE IN AN OLD HOvEL.
Cleveland Woman Dying Turns Over Big
Sum to the Church,

Mrs. Christina Doney, who for years
has lived in squalor in howell in the
southeastern part of the city of Column
bus, o., was taken i'll December 81 and
was removed to St. Anthony's hospital.
Here she was cared for tenderly, until
her condition became serious. Then she
was warned, and with great reluctance
she announced that she had lots of
money at her house, which she would
leave to the church. The sisters
searched for it, but could not find it,
and made up their minds that the old
lady was out of her senses. But when
she was told that there was no money
at her house, her strength came back.
She insisted on being carried to her
former abode, and there she turned up
money to large sum. How much is
not known.
A neighbor woman states that she
saw one sum of nearly 81, 900 turned up
from hiding place in the house, and
there were other sums, she does not
know how much, as she was forced to
leaves. Thesisters at the hospital admit
that a great deal of money was dis
covered, but they say they will not an
nounce the sum at present.
The money was found in all kinds of
queer hiding places, old fruit cans and
bed clothes seeming the most favored
place for hiding. An old friend of Mrs
Doney, who has kept up his acquaint-
ance with her for years, says that her
story of losses in real estate is untrue,
and that she must be worth in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.

BANK BOOK IN AN OLD CHAIR.

Hiding Place of the Savings OF an Ola APP
pie Woman Revealed by Chance.
Aunt Hannah Cotter, a famous old
apple woman on Wall street, died ten
years ago. All who knew the frugal
old woman during her Wall street
career would have been ready to swear
that she has saved a pretty penny out
of what the brokers and bankers had
paid for her fruit. Billy Cotter, her
son, thought so too. He had never
spoken to his mother on the subject or
tried to find out the truth, but 1T was
one of the articles of his faith that his
mother was treasuring a little hoard.
Hence he was surprised when all the
property that could be discovered after
her death was few sticks of furniture.
And not long thereafter he dismissed
the matter from his mind.
A few months ago the apple woman's
son retired from the police force and in
making for himself new home dis
posed Of what was left of his mothers
furniture. Among the relics was a
large old-fashioned armchair, in which
she had been wont to sit by the fireside.
1t found its way to the hands of a South
Brooklyn furniture dealer, who was
much surprised the other day when the
bottom fell out and with it a bank book.
Aunt Hannah had been depositing her
savings, dollar by dollar, in the Sea-
mans bank all the time she sold apples
at its door and the sum of her little for
tune was $4,000. The furniture dealer
went to the bank, told his story and
turned over the book. The bank traced
Billy Cotter and the money was put
into his hands after due process of law.

The Gold Democrats.

Senator Solliday has introduced a
bill changing the election laws SO that
party casting but one per cent. OF
the vote can 90 on the official ballot.
The gold Democrats did not cast the
two per cent. required by the present
law and this Solliday bill has for it's
object the placing Of the gold Demo
cratic nominations on the official bal
lot. If one per cent. is enough, it was
right four years ago and the Popu-
lists should have bad the right to a
place on the state ticket. We have
confidence enough in Governor SEQ
! field to believe that be will not sign a
bill which is so narrow and personal
as the one in question. Some OF our
gold Democratic friends are always
talking about uniting the party. Is
that the way to do it?-Juneau indie
pendent.
We think fair-minded people will
not agree with the above argument.
1t is conceded that the gold Demo-
cratic strength in the late election IN
Wisconsin amounted to between 3d.
900 and 10000 votes, but owing to
the existence Of only one paramount
issue the great majority of these
voters placed their ballots where they
would do the most good and voted
direct for Mckinley. Notwithstand-
ing their recognized strength, under
the present law they are deprived Of
party organization because they
failed to cast the necessary two per
cent. Of the vote for their candidate,
Palmer Senator Solliday, through
his bill, proposes to remedy this mat
ter, and he is manifestly right. 1t is
not a marrow and personal" measure
for the reason that the gold Demo
Gratis would be no more benefited
by it than would the Prohibitionists
Because the law was not changed some
time ago is no argument against the
change now. The gold Democrats
claim they are not looking for re-
union of the party SO long as the sill
yer wing persists in unfolding it's
fallacies on the money question, and
that they intend maintaining separ-
ate party organization until their
opponents who captured the Chicago
convention are ready to return to the
principles OF old line Democracy. Is
it not fair, then, that they should be
! given the necessary recognition to
which they are without doubt en-
titled? Senator Solliday is of the
opinion that his measure will duly
become a law.
