sWANHILDA'S SAILING TIME
Now Out Sixty-Six Days, but Not
Yet Overdue.

Sixty-six days to-day since the Swan
hilda left Newcastle, and still no sail in
sight to indicate the coming of Butler the
Australian murderer. This does not nee
essariIy mean an unusual delay, as the
average passage is nearer seventy than
sixty days.
The fastest sailing trip on record from
Newcastle to San Francisco is forty four
days, made by the English bark Win
hover The longest passage is 126 days
and was made by the En- .lish ship Lord
Canning. 1t once took the Am ricau
bark J. D. Peters l24 days to M axe the pas
sage and the English ship Hahneman
was out lis days before she came into this
port.
The SwanhiIda is a fine, long, four
mast bark, and on her last trip from New
castle came up in fifty eight days. 1t is
known, however, That the Swanhilda is
now very foul with grass and barnacles
This condition makes a very considera BILE
difference in her speed. On her recent
passage from Cape Town, South Africa
she was fifty days in sailing the course
usually covered in thirty-five or forty.
The bottom had become foul after three
months stay at Cape Town, and it has
not been scraped since.
The brisk southeast wind that has been
blowing for several days off the coast NAV
be expected to bring the Swanhllda into
port any time now if she be reasonably
near here. But for all that has been seen
by any of the ships that have arrived
already the Swanhiida may be very fal
away, the victim of contrary winds or ot
calms.

QUONG HING FLED
FOR HIS LIFE
Plot to Murder an Infiu-
entail Chinese in
Sacramento.
Quong Chick, Manager of the
Sam Yup Theater, in
Danger.
little Pete's" Widow Now Offers
$1,000 fer the Punishment of
His ASsaSsinS.

1t has just come to light that stimuli
taneously with the murder OF Lutte
Pete in this City an attempt was made
TO murder another influential Chinese in
Sacramento, and that community was
spared the unwelcome sensation attend
ing foul assassination only by the vigi-
lance of certain friends OF the man marked
for death in the capital OF the State.
The day before Pete's temerity caused
his death six as desperate highbinders as
Chinatown can boast OF took the train for
Sacramento. Their mission was to muir
der Quong Hing, the former Interpreter of
the Sam Yups, and there exists little
doubt that the deed would have been con-
summated had it not been for the fact
that spies here learned of the intended
crime and Immediately wired Hing of his
danger.
As soon as the latter received the start
ling news he lett his mercantile business
in charge of subordinates and went into
hiding until the day before yesterday. In
the meantime the hatchetmen arrived
and at various times were seen about
those places where the man marked for
slaughter was most likely to be found.
On the day before yesterday Quong
Hing quietly boarded the train for San
Francisco, where he would be surrounded
by friends and in comparatively small
danger of losing his life so long as he OBJ
served ordinary precaution. The high
binders were apprised of his arrival here
and have since returned.
Quong Hck, the manager of the Sam
Yup theater, on Jackson street, is another
person whose life is in constant danger.
The success of that institution, it is said,
is largely owing to his business enterprise
and sagacity, and in order to give the rival
See Ynp house, lately opened on Wash
ington street, better chance to thrive he
has been placed on the death-list.
Both Quong Hing and Quong Chick are
frequently seen on the street together;
but they are always accompanied by a
Caucasian guard. White guards have a
snap" in the Chinese quarter nowadays.
The conspiracy to murder Hing in Sac
ramen;o shows one thing pretty conclu-
siveIy-lhat sooner or later Little Petei
would have been murdered even If his
white guard were along. The idea in
killing Hing was to keep him from re-
turning to this city and filing the Office of
interpreter to the Sam Yups, which would
be left vacant by Pete's death. The
Chinese say the sum On Quong Hing S
and Quong Chick head is $1,000 each.
