Obtained Admission to This Country by
 Fraud.
Coached on Shipboard to Swear That Stranger Was
 Her Father.
A Full Confession Made by Her to the Ladies of the Methodist
 Mission.

Lum Flung Ho, the Chinese girl whom United States Commissioner Heacock recommended for deportation, hassmade another confession to the ef- feet that she had gained admission to this lcountry by fraud.
 While awaiting the action of the Fed erali authorities she had been confined in the County Jail, and for the past two or three days had been very despond- ent. Last Friday night she sent for a Chinaman, who had taken much inter est in having her landed here, and when he called upon her she requested him to go to the Methodist Mission at 916 Washington street, and inform the ladies in charge that she wished to have them call upon her. She threat ened, that, in the event of his refusal to do her bidding, she would dash out her brains against the walls of her cell or commit suicide in some other way, and, her spirit. changed into a devil, would haunt him day and night as long as he lived.
 The Chinaman's superstitious fears having been thus worked upon, he did not dare to disobey the woman, and he carried her message to the mission. Two of the ladies who spoke Chinese called at the jail, and Miss Ho made a full confession to them
 She said that while on the voyage from China to this port she was re- quired to commit to memory story written in Chinese on a paper to the effect that she was born in San Fran cisco, and that she was coming hither to meet her father and to be married to a husband whom the father had pro- vided for her.
 This story she told under oath when she was examined by the Chinese Bu- reau. A photograph of the man who was to pose as her father was sent to her in China short time before she left, and she was required to study the features carefully, so that she would

against Brown, and Judge Campbell re- leased him on his recognizance on the second charge. The bondsmen in each case were Alexander Campbell Jr., at- torney, who qualified on real estate in Berkeley of the value of 5000, and Thomas King, 764 Mission street, who qualified on real estate on San Bruno avenue and Wayland street of the value of $3000.
 Attorney Boyer, who appeared for the defendants, said he expected that they would have been present in court but he would waive their presence as re- quired by law, and was prepared to go on with the case.
 The Judge said he had no objections if ex-Judge Van R. Paterson would consent. He agreed to the proposition. and after the Judge had issued bench warrants for the arrest of the two de- fendants evidence for the prosecution was taken in the case of Brown on the charge of unlawfully affixing a coun- terfeit trademark on goods. Then At moved for a dismissal on various grounds, which will be argued to-mor- row morning. All the other cases were continued until then.
 At the time Boardman was arrested last Tuesday he was at the ferry. and had bought his ticket for Mexico When Brown was arrested by Detectives Dil- lon and Crockett the same day he told them that if they had been a day or two later they would not have been able to get him. Being convinced of the fact that the two men would flee from the city if they got a chance. Judge Paterson particularly requested that their bonds should be made as high as possible. His suspicious. as the result shows, have been verified. and the bcndsmen will have to make the bonds good.
 A peculiar incident happened in court

GRIFF0'S MANAGER
 SKIPPED OUT The Pugilist Has Given Up Hope of Seeing Olympic.
 Club Coin. All About Coursing, Pigeon Shooting and Basket Ball
 Games.

Young Griffo, the Australian pugilist who was defeated by Mcconnell last Thursday night at the Olympic Club. is now looking for his manager, O'Hal- ioran.
 It appears that the manager drew down the short end of the purse hung up by the Olympic Club and skipped out. At any rate, Griffo would be pleased to see his manager. His friends have stated that if O'Halloran refuses to pony up on sight Griffo may not hesitate to hold a face warming-or. in other words, he will give O'Halloran a good f1sting. The last S10 piece Griffo possessed went over the bar os a friend who has been keeping the Aus tralian in liquid refreshments
 It is said that Cocker Tweedie and his manager departed yesterday on the Australian steamer with Tut" Ryan. the fighter who was stopped by Lan- sing. If Tweedie had not skipped in such 6 mysterious manner he might have been afforded a second opportu- nity with some of the light weights to show what he is really capable of do- ing.

During the first half it all went the way the Incogs desired it, Lansten scoring eight points on very fine goals and Brown adding two points more. The RuShers secured only two points, made by F. l.. Shaw. It looked blue for the red Rushers when time was called for the first twenty minutes, and although they pulled up wonderfully, when they came out for the second half it was not until one minute before the end of the game that the score read 13 to 12 in favor of the Rushers, and remained thus when the referee gave his final decision. The audience went wild over the hard won victory of the local players.

SMITH
Captures the Nominations for State
Senator.

Senator.
The Senatorial convention for the
Third Senatorial district, composed
OF the counties of Doddridge, Har-
rison, Richie and Tyler. met at
this place last Saturday. 1t was
plain to see Friday evening the
convention was to be large attend
ed and that a warm contest would
be on. A large crowd came in Fri
day evening; some to speak for
their favorite candidate, some sight
seeing and some to be seen. The
trains Saturday morning came in
or time and were loaded with dele
gates, their friends and visitors for
the convention. The west bound
trains were crowded with Harmer
supporters, all wearing bis badge.
The east bound brought in the
Richie and Tyler delegations.
The convention was called to
meet at 10 o'clock, but it was II be-
fore the bell sounded, calling the
large crowd together. The conven-
ton was called to order by Attor-
ney S. w. Stuck, of this place, who
was chairman of the committee, and
he appointed c. E. Haddox, OF
Richie county, temporary chair
man, and Paul Ireland, OF this
place, temporary secretary. Mr..
Haddox made rousing speech in
taking the chair and spoke for sew
eral minutes concerning the loyal
Republicans composing the Third
Senatorial District. He said the
members of the party were Repub-
licans to the core this year, and
said the common foe-the Demo
crats-were unable to display any
banner whatever. We would like
to publish his speech in full, but are
unable to do SO.
In the selection of the members
of the various committees, each
county was allowed one member.
The committees were as follows:

CUBA AND PORTO RICO.
Plans for Their Temporary Govern
ment Already Under Consideration
by The President and Cabinet.

ment Already Under Consideration
by the President and Cabinet.
Washington, August II.-Plans
for the temporary government OF
Cuba and the territory which will
be acquired from Spain as a result
of the war, are now under serious
consideration by the President and
members of the cabinet. Porto
Rico, as an actual acquisition to the
territory of the United States, will
be placed in charge of a military
governor, who will exercise su-
pervisory control of all the func-
tons of government, under direc-
ton of the President, until Con-
gress shall determine upon a per-
nlanent form of government for the
island.
The President, under the const1-
tuition and laws, has no authority
to 60 beyond this preliminary or
temporary stage in the establish
ment of any system of government
al control, and although it is alto
gether probable that in his message
to Congress on the subject he will
exercise his constitutional privi-
lege of making recommendations,
upon Congress alone will devolve
the responsibility and duty of de-
termining the character of the po-
litical relations which Porto Rico
shall permanently bear to the Unit
ed States. There are reasons for
the belief that the President him.
self favors colonial form of gov
eminent and that this view is
shared by members of the cabinet.
Canada is cited as having a
model colonial government, which
is satisfactory alike to the majority
of its people and to the mother
country. This system, however, it
is believed, can be put into opera
ton only after the lapse OF con-
siderable period of time, and after
the people have demonstrated sat
isfactorily their ability to govern
themselves intelligently in all legal
matters.
Upon evacuation of Cuba, it is
believed to be the intention of the
President to establish for the whole
island a temporary military gov
eminent similar to that now in oper
alton at Santiago. When order
has been fully restored and the
people have settled down to their
peaceful occupations, it is believed
to be the view of the President that
a convention of representatives of
the people should be called to vote
upon the question of form of gov
eminent for the island. The pres
ence of the army of the United
States would be a guarantee that
every citizen who would subscribe
to an oath binding himself to sup
port whatever form of government
should be agreed upon, should have
the unquestioned right to vote for
whomsoever he pleased to repre-
sent him at this convention. The
action OF this body, however, would
have to be submitted to the United
States for approval or disapproval.
1t is pointed out that this Conven-
ton of representatives of the whole
people in the free exercise of their
choice might express wish to be-
come colonial independently of the
United States, or might favor re-
publican form of government, or
possibly majority might ask to be
annexed to the United States. In
any of these contingencies, it is be-
lieved that their wishes would meet
the approval of the President and
his advisers.
