PATROLING CHINATOWN.
Extra Policemen in San Francisco to

the Eighbinders.

San Francisco, Feb. las a result of
the recent outburst of lawlessness in

from half a dozen to over 1e0 The Chi
nese new year, with its attendant fes-
tivitieS, begins today, and to celebrate
the holidays highbinderS from all the
principal coast cities have been gather

tention Of holding a carnival of muir

The shooting of Little Pete, the most
notorious member of the local Chinese
colony, week ago, will be followed, it
is feared, by other murders in reprisal-
Big jim a well known Chinese gam

as was Little Pete in the Sam Yups
Tong, has been ordered killed by the

near Fresno for safety. Patrolmen are
driving all the Chinese from the streets
and arresting for vagrancy and other
minor offenses all who look as if they
might be parties to a highlander plot
The rooms of the various tOngS of high
binders are raided several times daily
to prevent any concerted action on the
part of these murderous ruffians. All
business in the Oriental quarter is
practically suspended, the merchants

TAYLOR is CAUGHT
The Murderer of the MeekS
Family
Is Arrested on a Ranch in Cali
fOrnia.
INTO THE LIONS DEN.
He Hired Out to Work For the
Sheriff.
The Officer Suspected Him and
the Arrest Followed

Hanford, Cal, Feb. George E.
Taylor, the noted Missouri outlaw and
murderer, has been captured on the
Jacobs ranch, near here. Sheriff Buck
ner suspected Taylor's identity for some
time and secured for him employment
on the ranch pending investigation of
his past. Satisfied as to his identity,
the sheriff brought him to Jail Saturday.
The crime for which George E. Tay-
1or stands convicted is the murder of
the Meeks family near Browning, Mo,
in 1894.
William P. Taylor, brother of George
Taylor, was a lawyer and cashier of
the Peoples Bank of Browning. Bill
Taylor and Gus Meeks had, prior to
May 10, 1894, been indicted jointly Tor
cattle stealing. Meeks pleaded guilty
and TaylOr'S case was continued.
Meantime Taylor had been charged
with arson and Meeks was taken to Lin
neus and testified against Taylor in the
arson case having been pardoned from
the cattle stealing charge for that pur-
pose
Taylor had been heard to threaten
Meeks and he and his brother made
frequent trips to MeekS' house for two
weeks before the murder. They prom
ised Meeks $500 if he would leave the
country. On May 10 they went again
to the house and loaded the entire
Meeks family into a waiting wagon.
Next morning little Nellie Meeks,
bloody and covered with straw, wan
dered to the house of Mrs. Carter and
said that her little sisters were in the
straw covered up. Investigation showed
that the entire family had been muir
dered and the bodies covered with
straw. Every evidence pointed to the
Taylors as the murderers and they at
once left the country. They were cap
tured, and, after a long, hard fought
battle in the courts, were convicted
and sentenced to hang.
While the sentence was pending,
George E. Taylor escaped from the Jail
at Carrollton. Mo-, and has since been
at large Bill Taylor was removed
from CarroIltOn to Kansas City for safe
keeping He was brought back to
CarroIlton to be hanged, and on May 80,
1895, expiated his crime on the gal
lows.

TWO POISONS CLASH.
Small pox Seems to be an Antidote for
Diphtheria-

Oakland, Cal, Feb. IAN interest
ing problem is suggested to the medical
world by a recent experiment of DR..
E. H. Woolsey. He was called to treat
two children suffering from the fever
which follows vaccination and while
they We're under his care, both develop
ed diphtheria from which they recov-
cred very quickly.
The physician is now almost convinc-
ed that there was a clash between the
two ferments in the blood and that the
virus of the vaccine Vanquished the
toXine of the diphtheria. He watched
the cases very closely and he felt so
certain of the correctness of his con-
clusion that in the notice of the cases
which he sent to the health officer he
announced that the diphtheria had been
lightened by vaccination. The patients
are now strong and well at a time when
such sufferers are unusually weak from
the effects of the disease. In discus
sing the matter, DR.. Woolsey says:
The thought of mine is the antagO-
nism of one disease for another like
erysipelas to cancer, which is an entire
ly new idea as applied to diphtheria-
whether or not it will prove of any
practical value is a question upon
which 1 feel rather doubtful, but it is
nevertheless of great interest scienti-
fically and throws new light on such
subjects. 1t may incidentally be
point of vantage for experiments in
other directions"

APES ENGLAND.
Mrs. Bradley Martins Already
Famous Ball
Will Be Patterned After One by
Lady Brooke
AT WARWICK CASTLE
SeVenty-fiVe Louis and 15 Ma
RE AntOinettes
Will Appear With Many Other
NOtables.

New York, Feb. DIR. Rainsford will
not be able to stop the Bradley Martin
affair, but he has started an endless
discussion touching the proper manner
of spending ones millions, in which per-
sons who have no millions to spend dis
play as keen an interest as their more
fortunate neighbors.
Nor is it to be denied that the public
is more or less interested in the bal
masque that has caused all the trouble.
Every detail is closely followed.
There will be no less than rs repre-
sentatives of Louis XIV. at the ball, and
each Louis will be little different. This
is on the theory that King Louis had
more than one suit of clothes.
FIFTEEN Marie Antoinettes already have
entered for the ball, and it is likely
that the lovely Queen of France will be
represented by twice that number of
New York women.
1t is interesting to note that Mrs.
Bradley Martin is planning the ball aft
er a similar affair given in England last
year by Lady Warwick, better known
in this country for her beauty as Lady
Brooke, the especial friend of the
Prince of Wales. My lady's bal masque
at Warwick castle was the most bril-
liant and Smartest thing of the kind done
for many years in England, where
splendid feteS are more common than
here.
Mrs. Bradley Martin will introduce
her guests, not by their real names, but
as the characters which they represent
For example, Mr.. Rhinelander-Rhine-
lander will be uShered into the ballroom
and heralded as Louis XIV, and so on.
Most of the costumers in the city have
stopped taking orders, and all will be
kept busy for the next ten days in ar
ranging costumes for their patrons.
An amusing feature of the affair is
that Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley Martin have
just discovered that their name is SPELL
ed without hypen. There has been a
controversy over the matter, due to the
uncertain memory of the head of the
family. The first invitations issued
read, Bradley Martin" but these have
( since been recalled and others have been
substituted which omit the hyphen.

WAGES ARE ADVANCING.
Prosperity Has Come to the Work
ingmen of China.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The competition of
JAPANESE cheap labor which has been so
much dreaded by the American working
men is not likely longer to be a menace
if wages in Japan continue to increase IN
the extraordinary degree that they nave
since the ChineSe-J japanese war. united
States Consul Connolly at NIGGA mas sup
piled to the state department tables snow
ing the wages of various classes OF Ia
Dor, more or less skilled, for 1894, 1893 and
1896. that illustrate this wonderful IN
crease in certain lines. Agricultural Ia
borers, male and female, have had their
wages advanced in that period from ~
yen per day to Is yen; weavers. from 10
to .35: tailors. from so to 1.20; papernak-
ers, from Is to 40; fishermen: from 20 to
40: blacksmiths, from AS to IS. and so on
The Japanese manufacturers also APP
pear to be having their labor troubles,
which they are trying to overcome in uni
que fashion, shown by the consuFS re-
port, based on newspaper accounts The
great activity in the cotton spinning in
dustry has led to demand for labor in
excess of the supply. One great mill
raised wages. and thus enticed away Ia
Dor from it's competitors The lat
ter replied by a boycott against the Of
Tending mill and then sought forcibly to
prevent the deSertion of their operatives
Pickets were located at stations and
along the river routes, but notwithstand-
ing. the boycotted mill continues to draw
away the laborers, who manage to make
their escape.

London, Feb 1.-The afternoon news
papers generally express great disap-
pointment at the proposed amendment
of the arbitration treaty and the West
minister Gazette hopes that public Opin-
ion in the United States will make itself
felt before the senate acts upon the re-
port of it's committee on Foreign rela-
tons.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: 1.-The
committee is doing its best to make
way with the treaty. 1t has not dared
to brave public opinion in absolutely
Withholding its approval, but it has left
it valueless."
The Globe remarks: 1.-THE amend
ment excludes every question of real
Importance and leaves the treaty mean
ingless. The most dignifed course for
the senate to pursue would be to declare
that the treaty has become worse than
useless and decline to ratify it"
The Globe adds: mot many tears
would be shed over its fate in spite of
the premature cock growing"

The Actor Lectures at the First Con-
gregational Church, z. G.

Kansas City, Feb. before the rich
est congregation in this part of the
country last evening, James A Hearne
actor and playwright, delivered a lee
ture on THE Theatre as It Is" The
lecture was one of a series of popular
discussions which have been running
at the First Congregation church of
which DIR. Henry Hopkins, LII d.,
relative of the founder of Johns Hop
kins' University, is pastor. The great
est interest had been aroused by the an
nouncement of the lecture and the au-
dience that greeted Hearne was proba-
bly, the largest in numbers that ever
gathered in a church edifice in this city.
TIearne, with his Shore Acres COM
pany, is making a tour of the west.
Extracts from his address follow:
F'The theatre" said Hearne among 9TH
er things, lis a factor of society just as
much so as is the church and in spite
of all the stigma that is attached to it,
and all the vice and pernicious power
it is charged with, it is still an educa-
tor and it's influence is for good and not
for evil. 1t is not the province of the
theatre to preach effectively, but to
teach subjectively and there is no rea-
son why the church and the theatre
should not work together. I claim they
have stood too long apart; that for the
good of the race they should join hands
at once and aid each other to free man
kind"
