WHITE ROBE SENT
The Suggestive Tender
By an Empress.
Chinese Dowager and Her Faction.
She Has Singled Out States
men for Destruction.

\ very dramatic and sensational
story is circulating in high native So
cietv. SAYS a writer for the China Ga
zette and though I have been unable
to obtain any direct confirmation OF
It. I think it bears every appearance
Of probability.
Ever since the death OF Prince Kung
the power Of the Empress DOwager and
her faction has been steadily increas-
ing. The most remarkable manifesto
ton of the renewal of her evil infu-
ence has been the degradation of her
formidable old antagonist Weng Tung-
he. and now the story goes that Prince
Ching and Chang Yin-huan have both
been singled out by her for destruc-
ton It appears TO be certain at any
rate that Chang Yin-huan's house has
lately been raided by the Empress 5
emissaries, who searched for some
thing or other that the terrible old
woman is anxious to get hold of, and
sealed the premises up.
It is now reported, to the great ex-
element of all the high officials, that
the Empress few days ago sent
Prince Ching a white robe, the recog-
nized symbol that the recipient has
the Imperial permission to commit
suicide, and that if he does not take
the hint the powers that he will take
effective steps to secure his departure
to a more peaceful sphere
Whather Prince Ching will carry out
the Empress's wishes in this respect
or elect to remain where he is and
defy her. remains to be seen.

LULU WAS TOO FREE
 WITH HER RAWHIDE
PAID A MESSENGER BOY WITH
 BLOWS FROM A WHIP.
Harry Spencer Will Swear Out War rant for the Arrest of Mrs.
 Cohen.

The too free use of a rawhide whip will cause Mrs. Lulu Cohen considerable trouble, as Harry L. Spencer, who was the recipient of the blows administered by the lady, says that he will to-day swear out a warrant for her arrest on the charge of battery.
 Mrs. Cohen, who lived at 116 Sixth street with her mother, was indebted to Spen- cer in the sum of $2 40, so he claims, and when he went to collect the bill yester- day evening, instead of paying him she drew a whip from behind her dress and struck him three times. The first two blows fell on his head, and barring the the boy on the left cheek leaving a liviu welt four inches long.
 Spencer is a messenger boy, and when Mrs. Cohen was living with her mother at 34 Sixth street he did a number of errands for her. About three weeks ago she word that he should be told she had gone to San Jose. Spencer learned day or two ago that she was still in the city, and yesterday afternoon went to her mothers home to ask for his money. He claims that he was met at the door by brother of the woman and kicked out of the house.
 Last night Spencer went to the house at 116 Sixth street and sent a boy named Jo- seplf Cazneau up to Mrs. Cohen's room with a note stating that he wished to see her. She sent word back for him to come up, but he refused to do so, fearing that she meant to hurt him. Mrs Cohen finallX came to the hall where Spencer was and according to his statement, before she reached him she made the remark, q wonder what he wants" and then with. out another word she began to beat him with the whip.

A Husband Received With Deep Regret.
LIFE ONE LONG QUARREL
SOME OF THE TROUBLES OF MIR. AND MRS. H. DE L. PIKE.
Deeply Mourned When Lost, but Received With New Possibilities and a Warrant When
 Found.

When the husband of Mrs. Henrietta Pike mysteriously disappeared from his home month ago the lady was much disturbed and took measures to find her missing spouse. Her efforts were successful. but the fact that she had him arrested yesterday afternoon on the charge of threatening her life leads to the belief that she regrets that he re- turned. and wishes she had told him she didn't care if he never came back.
 Harrison de Silva Pike is a book keeper for the Jumper Mining Com pany and lives with his wife at 1906 Sacramento street. On the morning of May 2S he left home after a quarrel with Mrs. Pike and was seen no more for nearly a month. The wife was greatly worried at the disappearance of Mr. Pike and notified the police. Her fear that he had done away with him self or enlisted in the army was dis pelled by his suddenly making his ap- pearance at the house a few days ago. The quarrel which caused the separa- ton was evidently continued, as yes terday Mrs. Pike swOre out a warrant charging her prodigal husband with ! threats against life. Officers Walsh and Crowley arrested MT. Pike late in the afternoon and placed him behind the bars at the California-street sta- ton.
 Pike is a well-educated man, and has been the holder of a number of good positions. At one time he was assist ant general mana ger of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. and at another chief clerk for the Union Pacific Rail- way, with headquarters at Omaha. He has held his present position with the mining company for nearly two years
 Marriage has evidently been a failure with MT and Mrs. Pike, as this is the second time they have appeared in court with the lady as complaining witness Last February MT Pike was arrested for battery on charges pre- ferred by his wife. She asserted that he had beaten and choked her and then put her out of doors in the rain. The case never came to trial, as Mrs Pike withdrew the charge. Mrs. Pike is now supporting herself and a little adopted child by taking in boarderS. She com plains that he contributes nothing to her support, not even paying her for his board and lodging. Neither of the parties would talk of the immediate cause of the trouble which resulted in the arrest of MT. Pike, but parties in the house say that he has abused his wife since his return and threatened to kill her.
 When locked up last evening Mir. Pike was firm in his assertion that there was absolutely no reason for his being arrested, and that it was a clear case of persecution. lie stated that he was of the opinion that his wife desired to bring him into discredit with his employers so that he would lose his position.

PEOPLE ARE
 TERRORIzED Hayes Valley Thugs Rob and Plunder. A PEDESTRIAN HELD UP. THREE YOUNG MEN WITH GUNS TAKE HIS PROPERTY. Residents Threaten to Form a Wig ilance Committee to Do
 Effective Police
 Work.
THREE YOUNG MEN WITH GUNS TAKE HIS PROPERTY.

Emphatic complaints have been made to the police recently against the noto- rious Hayes Valley gang, who have been terroriZing the residents of that neigh borhood. The police seem powerless or indsposed to check the depredations of the gang and the residents are talking of forming a vigilance committee for the purpose of doing some effective work
 Burglaries and robberies, thieving and destruction of property have constituted the work of the gang, and they have be- come so daring that robbery has oc- cured almost in broad daylight.
 Sunday night a gentleman who lives on Eighteenth and Church streets was visiting friends on Oak street. He was walking along Oak street, between Buo chanan and Webster, shortly after 5 o'clock, when three young men stepped up to him and each presented a revolver at his head, while one of them peremp- torily ordered him to throw up his hands. He had no alternative and obeyed orders. Two of the footpads kept him covered and the third went through his pockets, relieving him of his gold watch and chain, $50 in gold and S2 or s in silver They then fled.
 The robbery was witnessed by MT. and Mrs. Rubin, who keep a variety store on the corner of Buchanan and Oak streets and Mrs. Rubin promptly blew a police wLtstle. The victim came to them and Rubin, taking the police whis-
 
 Buchanan street, blowing the whistle. but 1t was not until they reached Hayes street that they came across Policeman M. Barry. The officer was told of the robbery and took the victim to the Gen. tral police station, where the details of the robbery were given to Lieutenant Birdsall but, strange to say, neither the lieutenant nor the officer took the man s name.
 An accurate description of the three robbers was given but so far no arrests have been made. The robbers overlooked a lady's gold watch in their hurry to finish the job.
 It is supposed that the same gang broke into the residence of J. A. Wald- teufel 519 Oak street, Saturday night, and stole a gold watch and chain and several valuable articles of jewelry. He and his wife had gone downtown, and when they returned they found one of the rear windows open. An investigation showed that burglars had been in the house, and as soon as MT. Waldteufel ascertained the full extent of his loss he reported the matter at police headquar- ters.
 There have been numerous burglaries in the locality within the past few months. and there is a strong feeling of terror among the residents, as they do not know what the gang may do next.

McKeever, catlike, sprang from his corner which was the southwest end of the ring. and evidently determined to make quick work of his amateur opponent, lost no time in fddling for an opening, but went right at his game.
 A feint, then out shot McKeever's left, which landed lightly on Mcconnell S right, which missed the amateurs jaw by scarcely an inch. Mcconnell, reaiz- ing that a fast fight and quick ending was the order of the evening, sidestepped away from the Philadelphian, but re- turned quickly with a wicked left-hand hook, which blow was cleverly ducked by the professional. Again McKeever in- troduced a hot fire from the right and left war implements and for a few sec onds it looked bad for California, but Me Connell was acting coolly and as Mckee Keever) received a mouth-warmer which sent his head back a few inches. Me Cornell, seeing an opening for a right swing at the jaw, sent outAthe duke" with a high charge of powder behind it. but the artful McKeeyer. as quick as a flash, tucked the blow and a clinch fol- lowed The clever lads received quite a warm cheer from the spectators as they walked to their corners at the call of time.
 In the second round McKeever resumed his old tactics. His intention was to rat tie the ex-amateur by fast fighting but Mcconnell proved before the round was finished that he was fast also, and could return blow for blow. Mckeever's right hand stops for blows that were aimed at the face were perfection. Time and again he blocked his opponents left when it was within few inches of the nasal

to left and each time he caught McKeever by surprise and landed well on neck and body. The finish of this round was very hot. It was give and take and neither man scored a point in advantage. All persons voted the contest up to this june clever hand and foot work as they had ever witnessed.
 The fourth round settled McKeever's S hash. He was very anxious to finish the game as quickly as possible, and again he sailed in with quick right and left his opponent. Following sharp rally Mckeever saw, as he thought favor able opportunity of landing a wicked left and he let it go like a flash, but McCon- nell, by a quick shift of his head, es- capped the glove, which shot past his chin, and as Mckeever moved in toward him by the impetus, McConnelrs right-a glove landed squarely on the Philadel- phian'S chin and mouth.
 McKeever staggered and fell. the blood flowing from his mouth He struggled. regained his feet only to be sent down again from right in the neck As he was on his knees in a helpless condition Mcconnell rushed at him. but the police had now taken possession of the ring and Referee Wand declared Mcconnell the victor amid the widest enthusiasm imag- inable.
 The ex-amateur is now a fitting oppon- ent for any welter-weight in the coun- try, as he proved himself beyond a doubt to be frst-class pugilist.
 The principals in the preliminary event entered the ring at ten minutes to 9 o'clock It was ten-round bout be- tween two welter- weights, Frank Pur- cell of Salt Lake, and Sam Tompkfns. better known as Young Peter Jackson"

past 10 o'clock, accompanied by his sec onds, Alec Greggains, Martin Murphy and Frank Schooler.
 McKeever followed ten minutes later, esquired by Billy Akers, Billy Shannon and Paddy McGrath.
 Billy Jordan, master of ceremonies, in- troduced the men. Mcconnell received most of the applause, naturally, being a local man.
 Phil Wand of the Olympic Club, chosen as referee a week before the fight, acted in that capacity. Jordan also announced that Tom Tracey had wired from New York challenge to the winner.
 It then took Manager Groom half an hour to count and gather up the $500, which he put in a satchel and deposited in the ring. Then the referee and represen- tatives of the fighters had to recount the money, so that it was 10:45 before the fight started.
 The crowd became very impatient dur ing all this veXatious delay, and many unkind things of Manager Groom and the National Club were thought and said by the audience.
 After the monetary troubles between the pugilists and the National Club man. ager had been settled, Referee Phil Wand signaled the clockmaster to get ready and the gong sounded the fighters to action.

bested Charley McKeever of Phil
 adelphia, in four rounds of their
 intended twenty-round boxing con-
 test before the National Club at
 Woodward's Pavilion, last night.
 Mcconnell opened the eyes of his most ardent admirers, for he not only met the clever Fastener at his own game or slapping, duclzing and jabbing, but he went him one better in adding nook blow that landed on McKeever's chin ana put him to sleep in short order.
 The evenings entertainment was well worth seeing. The preliminary bout be- ing set-to, and way above the average "curtain-raiser." And the event of the evening was sharp snappy affair which kept the spectators on edge and evoked tumultuous applause at the end of each round while it lasted, in appreciation Of their really clever work.
 It would be hard to find two men more evenly matched than McKeeVer and Mc- Connell, or more alike in build. They are both heavily muscled and broad-shoul- dered, with slight, tapering legs, as agile as monkeys and quick cats.
 A long delay intervened between the preliminary bout and the event of the evening. owing to McKeever demanding an assured purse of $500. on account of the smallness of the house. The fighters and the management finally came to an understanding and the men agreed to go on.
 Mcconnell entered the ring at 10 minutes
