SEE YUPS APPEAL
To WASHINGTON
Attorney Campbell Will Go
to the Capital on
Monday.
Influential Merchants Will Ac.
company Him to See the
Minister.
Tie American Government to Be
Asked to Interfere to Save
Prisoners in China.

Attorney ]. c. Campbell, who is con-
ducting the case of the See Yup Society
against Fong Yuen Hing, the Chinese
Consul, for breaking up their headquar-
1ers, will go TO Washington, D, c., on
Monday, to lay the matter personally be-
fore the Chinese Minister.
1t has trarspired since the troubles be-
tween the Sam Yups and See Yups began
that a number of the relatives of the
members OF the latter organization have
been imprisoned because of their partici-
patton in the boycott.
The See Yups claim that they have been
guilty of no conduct that should merit
punishment to their relatives in China,
and that the whole. matter has been placed
IN its present condition by the action of
tho Chinese Consul IN sending reports
adverse to the See Yups 10 the imperial
representative at Washington.
Nine influential mem bers of the See
Yup Society will accompany Mr.. Cam o.
bell, and it is understood that an effort
will be made to induce the American Gov
ernment TO interfere to effect the release
of the prisoners in China.
Mr.. Campbell will take many important
documents relating to the case with him,
and expects 10 make such showing as
will speedily settle the matter.
The examination of Fong Yuen Hing
was resumed before United States Com
missioner Heacock yesterday, and he pro-
duced documents tending to show that
many complaints from all parts of the
State asking that the boycott be raised
had been received.
He admitted that he wanted to break
up the See Yup Society, saying that this
was the only thing that would insure
peace in Chinatown.
The hearing was adjourned until Satur-
day, when Chief Crowley will be called
upon to testify as to the efforts that the
Consul made to have him break up the
See Yup Society by wrecking its head
quarters and dispensing lis members.
The See Yups say that the Chief refused
10 do this even after an indemnity of $10,-
600 was offered him, on the ground that
no indemnity would cover an illegal act.

The keys to them were given to the
Coroner's deputy, but all other articles
were kept. Coroner Hawkins mas learned,
so he says, that there are valua Die papers,
securities and a considerable sum OF
money that belonged to Oakley in the
safe of the hotel, and these he is deter
mined to have with the rest of the effects.
The case came up before Justice Barry
yesterday morning, but it was continued.
The legal firm of Lennon & Hawkins,
which represents the Coroner, will make
bitter fight to have the Coroner's rights
to the possession of the effects OF persons
whose cases come under his jurisdiction

II am going to test this matter
thoroughly said the Coroner. "and see
whether the law will not uphold me in my
contention that l am entitled to all of the
effects of those whose cases come properly
under my notice."
The stomach of the deceased has been
placed in the hands of the che mist of the
Morgue, DIR. Morgan. and the inquest will
be held as soon as his report is rendered.

Coroner Hawkins will make test case
OF the legal difficulties over the effects of
John NJ. Oakley, the Pittsburg million

day evening presumably from the effects
OF over-indulgence in champagne.
When the Deputy Coroner, who was pu.
on the case, made demand for Oakley's
effects he was told he could not have
them and that the management did not
recognize his righ. to demand them.
Justice Barry, the only Magistrate who
could be found at short notice, was ap-

of success. This evening some very good
sport is promised.
The Irish team did not appear last even
ing. The captain said that his anchor
man was not in fit condition and could
not therefore pull.
The Irish were booked to meet the
Scotch team and the last named appeared

MISSION HIGH SCHOOL.

Board of Education VIII Probably Take
Some Action Next Wednesday.
The Board of Education will probably
take some action concerning the Mission
High School next Wednesday. The at
torney for the board has had long con-
ference with Auditor Broderick relative to
the complications resulting from the ex-
cess of contracts let above the estim ated
cost of the school building. The probable
outcome of the matter will be that an
effort will be made to get the contractors
to shade off their prices enough to over
come the excess above the arch itect's esti-
mate of total cost. The work of grading
