MOrosc o's.

"A Midnight Trust a strong piece in the line of melodrama, is on this week at Morosco's. The play is splendidly mounted and many sensations are woven in the plot.

Her song, My Ho- nolulu Queen" in which two boy vo- calists in the gallery joined in the chorus, Brophy, as the hero, was the admired of the audience. Lorena Atwood, as Clare Dudley, and Harry Alysham gained Landers Stephens, the villain, played his part we'll.

The tail end of the Republican landslide of November appears to have extended across the line into Nevada and engulfed R. l.. Richie, well known as clubman and former newspaper man of San Fran cisco. Richie owns, ranch in Nevada, and some time ago he conceived the idea of removing thither, cultivatng the na- tives and going to the Legislature while the hope of United States senatorship illunined the future. He was nominated for the Legislature by the Silver party, and might have been elected but for the aforesaid landslide. Last evening Green Bros of this city received the following telegram:

STRANGE STORY TOLD
 BY 4 CHINESE SLAVE
SHE SAYS THAT HARRY HUFF IS
 ONE OF HER OWNERS.
Huff Is Favorite Enploye of Chief Meredith of the Chinese
 Bureau.

How Took, Chinese slave girl who es- capped from a disreputahle house last Monday and took refuge in the Methodist Chinese Mission Home on Washington street. has told the matron a strange story to the effect that Harry Huff, who is at times employed by Chief Meredith as interpreter in the Chinese Bureau, was the owner of a Chinatown house of disre- pute and of an interest in. more than one slave girl.
 She says that two years ago she was stolen by gang of men near Canton and shipped to San Francisco. She was in- structed by her captors to swear that she was the daughter of Chan look, and that she was a native of San Francisco. The highbinders, on her arrival here, furnish ed the necessary witnesses, and she was landed without any trouble. She was told by Wong Jue, her keeper, that Harry Huff, known by the inmates of the house as Qui Koon, "the Master" had a half interest in her and another girl. Just be- officials last September, she says, Huff came to the house and told the inmates of the contemplated raid. He secreted her and another girl in family house on Commercial street, where they remained until the end of the search.
 It will be remembered that Huff was employed by Chief Meredith to accom- fluff is frequently employed by Meredith with the knowledge of the Collector to act as inter preter. After the escape of Flung Suey Wan 1t was a common report in China town that Harry Huff had dressed her in the clothing of white woman and, plac- ing her between two white women, put her on board the China bound steamer.
 It is expected that the special agent of the Treasury will investigate the story of the slave girl, the matter being within his domain, for the reason that Huff is an employe of the Government and Is on the rolls as ''laborer."
 Huff makes a general denial of the charge,

Outrageous Conduct of Three Soldiers.
BROKE INTO A HOUSE
THE FAMILY FORGED TO FLEE
 FOR THEIR LIVES.
With Drawn Revolvers the Men Enter the Residence of Michael Dugan and Hurl Defiance
 at Him.

With drawn revolvers three soldiers Sunday night entered the residence of Michael Dugan, at 13S Russ street, ana after threatening to kill him if he in terfered with them, proceeded to search the house.
 Mrs. Dugan and her two children were sitting in the kitchen, and seeing the sol diers enter they lost no time in vacating the premises.
 After searching the house one of the men turned to Dpgan and informed him that he was Sergeant Wilson. Without attempting to explain the objects Of his visit he and his men left the place.
 Yesterday Dugan visited police head quarters and asked if he was not legally Justified in having the soldiers arrested. in telling the story of the seemingly out rageous conduct of Sergeant Wilson and his men, he said
 II was sitting in the kitchen of my home with my wife and two children, on the front door. l quickly responded, and as I opened the door the man who called himself Sergeant Wilson thrust a revolver in my face, after threatening to riddle me with bullets if I did not re- main quiet Not knowing what they were after 1 started to protest, when one of the soldiers brushed me to one side after poling me in the ribs with his re- volver.

It is possible that they were searching for some soldiers who mad de- serted, but why they should have entered my house and acted in such an outrage ous manner is beyond my comprehension. l do not Intend to let the incident drop To-day I will employ an attorney. and if we cannot have the men arrested and punished I will corr sspond with the au- thoritives at Washington with a view of having them dismissed from the army"

Alcazar.

+ was a goodly house in point of num- bers that looked upon the story Of A Fool of Fortune; it was sympathedc house that wept at the downfall of that impossibly honest Wall street firm, Gun ningham & Lloyd; it was merry house that laughed at the love making or me impossible Count de Cluny, and It was a very, very kind house that bore In Ia- tience the too frequent, but alas too nec- essary, sibilant suggestions of the over worked pronpter. It grieves the critic to say that some of the best scenes in a splendid play were marred by repeated prompting in the most intense passages, but that dereliction was amply atonsd Tor by the excellent and well balanced act ing of the company.
 Wallace Shaw as the Elisha cunning ham of the piece added new laufels to his reputation as careful and painstaking actor. He did better than even the, most sanguine of his friends had expected. He was supported right loyally by Clarence Montaifle as his partner Lloyd: The Mar iorie Cunningham of Gretchen. Lyons was a womanly character played in a wo- manly way. The Count of MT. Hastings was a little spotted in his French dia- feet, but otherwise was blameless; George Osbourne was excellent. It will pay to see "A Fool of Fortune.

READY FOR DISTRIBUTION Meeting of the Stockholders of the Hale 6 Norcross Company to
 Re HeId To-Dav

A meeting of the stockholders of the Hale 6 Norcross Mining Company will be held at 1 o'clock this afternoon to dis cuss the affairs of the company and the distribution of the money recently re- ceived by judgment of the court, but when all the expenses have been paid there will not be much left for. the stock holders.
 The amount paid to the Union Trust Company by Hayward & Bogart to satisfy the judgment was $297 ,000 Of this amount, when attorneys fees amounting to $75 900 and other expenses have been deducted, there will only be about SIT 600 left, and this divided among 112000 shareholders will mean a very low value for the shares. It is expected that there will be a warm time at the meeting, and an effort will be made to find some means of reducing the exDenses
