CHINESE TEST CASE.
All Leong and Sing Fa Convicted of
Keeping Minor Girl in q
House of Ill Fame.


An Leong and his wife, Sing Fa, were
convicted by Judge Low yesterday of the
charge of keeping a minor in house of
i'll fame, and were ordered to appear for
sentence this m orning.
The Judge said that the evidence was
clear against the defendants, and even the
state ment OF the male defendant that he
rented lis rooms 10 girls was sufficient of
itself 10 convict. He had no doubt that
the girl had been kept in their house, and
he was also satisfied that she was under
age.
Much interest has been taken in this
case, as it is practically test one. The
young girl was rescued from the house by
the Methodist Mission people, but was
aiterward taken from the mission on a
writ OF habeas corpus by order of Judge
Cook. S nee then no trace of her can be
found.

AN EARLY MORNING FIRE.
Destruction of "A Large Barn and a Lot
of Hay.

of Hay.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Sept. About l
o'clock this morning fire broke out in a
barn belonging 10 the Lubben Brothers,
on the corner of Pacific avenue and Web
ster street. Although an alarm was at
once given and the department responded
promptly the structure was completely
destroyed. 1t was filled with hay, which,
of course burned like tinder. a general
alarm was turned in and the entire de-
partment was called out, but beyond saw
ing the adjacent property nothing could
be done.
Next to the burned building was another
barn, in which were twenty or more
horses. These were cut loose and turned
out on the street and quickly scattered
over the town. One animal after being
turned loose ran directly into the flames
and was so badly burned that it had to be
sho.. Another was slightly burned, but
will recover. The loss on The burned
property is fully $1,000. The building it.
$1,000 on the entire property of the owners,
but this constituted only small portion,
hence the loss is almost total.
There is no clew to the origin OF the
fire other than that it might have
been from spontaneous combustion en-
gendered in the hay, some of which might
have been damp. The force of the flames
appeared to come from the center of the
stack OF bales, which gives color to this
theory.

The prospects of a cotton crop this
year in the overfiowed lands of the
Mississippi basin is by no means fiat
tering. The river is falling at present it
is true, but the rise in the Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas and other states, all
flooding their currents into the Missis-
sippi will prevent the drainage of the
lands until it is too late to put in a
cotton crop. The predictions of early
frosts this fall, in fact during nearly
every month of the year, render the
hope of a late season precarious and
the prospects correspondingly doubt
full. The distress grows daily.

HOW TO COLLECT TAXES.

The city council will attempt to con-
slider some means of collecting back
taxes which Alderman Johnson said
was the foremost question that con-
fronted the administration. The back
tax question has been a very trouble
some one to the administration that
preceded the present mayor and al
aldermen. We all remember the Bran
incident. A separate back tax depart
ment was created; Mr.. Bran establish
ed himself with a clerk in room 49,"
The back tax rolls were turned over to
him and he was armed with full power
to put delinquents through. The re-
suit was a large crop of liquidations;
a continual clash between Bran and
the collector; failure to collect taxes
that is every dollar collected by Bran
would have been collected by the COL
lector, but Bran got his percentage
and made good thing out of it. Bran
was done away with but the back tax
department still remains.
The question is not back taxes, but
taxes in general. If the collection OF
back taxes becomes a difficult prob.
lem, how about the taxes to come? Lit.
igation, fines, penalties and all thai
sort of thing will make but little i'm.
preston upon a whole community IL
revolt against the tax levy. A plar
of rebate favorable to the prompt tax
payer has been found to work we'll ii
other cities.
1t is estimated that there is nov
100000 on the delinquent list that Il
possible of collection. The previous
tax levy, was less than the recent levy
The last assessment was less, and /
s. may be inferred that If the old ia,
cannot be collected the new one will
send the entire army of taxpayers in
to the delinquent ranks. It was YER
poor policy to raise the tax rate, an
it remains to be demonstrated that
was justifiable.
Had the rate of taxation been re
.duced, the expenditures of the cit
cut down to the lowest possible poin
taxpayers would have been encourae
ed to come forward with their none
and help out their city government
Taxpayers are discouraged.

THE GREAT COMMANDER.

Great Commander over whose re-
mains the nations of the earth conspire

| the new mauseleum in which his re-
waters of the lordly Hudson, he rests
in peace. Silent and taciturn in his
life until the closing years of his NOR
tai ripeness opened the husk that en-
shrined his great soul, he has won the
affection no less than the plaudits Of
two hemispheres, and is unquestioned
by friend or foe as his name appears
at the head of the bead-roll of Ameri-
cas- famous sons of Mars. His name
is spoken lovingly and his memory is
tenderly enshrined in all hearts. He
was as generous foe as he was 10y
al friend. No one ever accused him
of vanity, moral or intellectual dis
honesty, Intentional injustice, or any
of the petty meannesses that great
minds occasionally descend to-. Where
best known he was most beloved, and
no where more than in his own family
circle. His life was sacrifice to his
sense of duty, his deeds an inspiration
to all who seek the heights of military
fame. and his transformations manner
the instruction of all ambition. That
he was truly great every movement of
his maturer years demonstrates, and
this is no where so we'll shown as in the
fact that he was equal to every re-
spOnsiblity that he assumed or had
thrust upon him. The readiness to as
sumo all or nothing was his strongest
feature that came out
very strongly in those later years when
great movements We're entrusted to
him He was a lOvable man to those
who could come near enough to him
to understand the great heart that
beat under his taciturnity. He was a
fearless man, to all who noted his I'M
disturbed bearing in difficulty He put
personal considerations aside when
the needs of the country seemed to
can Ior retirement 10 subordinate
position, and stepped modestly to the
front when the call was made for his
promotion. He had a sense of secur-
ity in himself that few possess and
when he took upon himself the respon-
sibility of any movement he insisted
that he should be left uninterfered
with in its conduct, always ready to
take the blame in case of failure. He
was tender, true, earnest, honest,
large minded, dignified, modest man. A
man for emergencies and made to fill
a large place in the world. He was a
splendid specimen of the splendid
American man, and as an American
two worlds have honored him.
