CHINESE AND JAPANESE FIGHT

Hostiliues were resumed between the
Chinese and Japanese Friday night and
Judge Mogan was called upon to arbitrate
in the matter yesterday morning
From the evidence it appeared that Ed
ward Lee, TEN Ling and two other Amer
icanized Chinese who attend the Wash
ington-street Grammar School, were
walking along Post street abreast, and at
Union square two japanese broke their
line This enraged the Chinese and there
was a fight, during which it was alleged
one of the Chinese drew a knife Lee and
Ling were arrested for battery the COM
planning witness being Rokusaburo Ka-
wara, and the Judge convicted Lee and
ordered him to appear for sentence to-

FARCICAL CONVENTIONS
OF CUBAN GENERALS S

HAVANA, April 8.-The generals have
not officially notified General Gomez Of his
reinstatement TO the command Of the
Cuban army. Barolome Masso and Mayia
Rodriguez have been named as members
Of the executive advisory board. The
wrangling over the naming of the third
member continues.
Some OF the Cuban generals who are not
actively in command of forces met in
formally at the Hotel Ingleterra last
night and protested against the action of
the other Cuban generals, declaring thar
they, as generals, had as much right 10
assist in the deliberations and to be
heard as those in actual command of
forces. The other generals insist that
only commanders Of forces have a right to
take action.
The whole matter has assumed a far
cicel aspect. The scoffers express doubt
that any concerted action will be taken
but tomorrow will probably determine
the matter.

Nolthenius Must PAY.

SAN RAFAEL, April S.-John Nolthe-
MUS of 1853 Stockton street, San Fran
cisco, was represented at yesterdays ses-
sion of the Board of Supervisors by At
torney J. W. Cochrane, who petitioned
the board TO compromise on money due
the county on the bonds of Henry Young,
the alleged fire fiend of Tiburon. When
Young fled to avoid trial Nolthenius paid
his $500 into the county treasury, but Al
bert Wolchow Of Alameda, the other
bondsman, placed a homestead on his
property and refused to pay. AS it was a
joint bond a demand was made on the
Stockton street butcher for the $500 still
due. His petition was that the board
should compromise for half that sum. but
the petition was refused. Attorney Coch-
rane probably will fight the case for Mol
thenius and the county may lose all.

Webster streets to search for Gertrude s
father, who was supposed to have

 Last week we had the coldest snap so far this season. For five or six days the thermometer ranged from 9 to. IA degrees above zero. About six weeks ago the mercury fell as low as above. Reports from the Sound country in- dicate that even there the cold of win ter sometimes penetrates and we may safely conclude that general cold wave has its effect there as we'll as here. From the Victoria Times we learn that from the lakes in the vicinity of Ashcroft sort of soda or washing com pound is being taken that threatens to rival Pearline in efficacy, and will add quite an impetus to the business in terests of that city.
 Rev. l.. l.. Wirt expressed the wish in his preliminary remarks last Sunday night that all his critics would come out and hear him next Sunday evening, but said he would hurt no ones feel ings. This assurance was scarcely nee. essary, for Mir. Wirt exercises so much good judgment and tact that his few criticisms, however fOrceful, are never acrimonious. While we do not recom- mend the plan, it would certainly be interesting to have the critics occupy a front seat and face the audience. We are curious to know in what way his excellent work here has been criticised, unless 1t is the fin de siecle tone of his sermons

Powerful sermon Preached by the Rev. ]. C..
 Jordan, Last Sunday Night.

Powerful sermon Preached by the Rev. J. (.
 Jordan Las, Sunday Night.
 Rev. !. C. Jordan, Baptist minister from Skaguay, and Alaska representa- tive of the Alaska Home Mission So- ciety. was greeted by a very good audi cncc at Ohman's Hall last Sunday night
 Mr. Jordan is a fine looking man, a little past middle age. and while he probably makes no pretensious as an orator, yet the general appearance of the man and his manner of speaking, which is very positive and earnest, carry conviction of honesty and sin cerity.
 His subject for the evenings dis course was the New Things of Gods Kingdom"
 Our space will not permit an eX- tended account of the sermon. which was very instructive and certainly Bib lical. and made clear many things which had been dark The relative positions of the old and New Testa- ment as applied to and efecting the people of today. were explained.
 The new covenant. the new man. and the new commandment were men toned and the loss of the fOurth com mandment was explained. The preach CT said that we would not only receive a new spirit. but a new place would be provided for us He further said that heaven was not ouly plac" hut an eX- pcrieuce as we'll and that it would be- gin on this earth. A lev heaven and new earth are to I've provided, also a new city. we are to sing a new song the song of the rcdeemcd-and be giv- en new tongues and new bodies.
 The sermon was long, but so intense ly interesting that the hearers sat spell bound. The rapidity with which Mr. Jordan turned from one passage of scripture to another showed him Co bc perfectly familiar with that good book, and the charm of the preaching was in the strict adherence Co old fashioned Bible truths. No uew-fan- gled notions were interjected, but it was simply the old story told in plain language.
 Rev. Jordan said that he did not come here to antagonize any class or or ganizatiou, but to assist in building uP Christ's kingdom, and to bo a friend to all.
 He will make canvass of Douglas Island and Juneau and if sufficient number of Baptists are found, will recommend to the home board that an able and earnest man be sent to take charge of the work at these places.

The New Trial of Dreyfus Will Not Be the End of the Natter
His Case Is Only the Symptom.

New York August M. ]. Conely
of the Paris Figaro cables to the Herald .
The Dreyfus affair will not be ended with
the trial at Rennes.
Suppose Dreyfus is condemned. The
adversarles of the army will not abandon
the campaign they have started against
1t. and which. for that matter. is not
producing any appreciable result. since
1t has not diminished by centime the
appropriation made for military pur-
poses, nor llghtened the sacrifices which
tho country gladly accepts for the army,
nor interfered in the least degree with
the discipline that obtains in that same
army.
SO in the same way the "intelectu-
aries" who have reasoned out their con-
viction of the prisoners innocence. will
Mt re"oun"e that conviction on the
strength Of a trial with closed doors,
secre. documents or gratuitous assevera-
lions. They want good, current coin.
and to induce them to acqulesce In A
verdict Of guilt it will be necessary to
prove to them by irrefutsble arguments
that they have been mistaken.

quilted, one must be excessively naive
TO imagine that the people who have
