BLOODY HIGHBINDER FIGHT.
As Result Three MOngOlians Are Dead
in China Town, Two Are at the Hos
pital and Nine in Jail.

FRESNO, Cal, April 2O.-A bloody
highlander war that has been expect
ed for some days broke out in China
town early Wednesday, and as a result
three Mongolians occupy slabs in the
mOrgue, two more are at the county
hospital mortally wounded, and nine
are behind the bars in the county jail.
The officers have anticipated an out
break for some time, as it was known
that large numbers of Ratchet men had
arrived here from San Francisco, but
so cunning were their plans that not
an officer was close enough to witness
the opening of the battle.
The Chinese had decoyed the police
men on duty in that district to various
quarters remote from the scene of their
intended onslaught.
Upon hearing the first Shot Police
man Rapelji, who was a block away,
ran to the alley north of Tulare street,
between F and G, where he saw two
Chinese pumping lead into the body OF
third Chinese who lay at their feet.
Further up the alley were at least a
dozen Cinnamon, running about and
blazing away at each other.
As Rapelji ran up the alley a China
man ran past him pursued by a
highlander. The fugitive made for a
doorway but was dropped on the steps
by a bullet from the highbinder's gun
which struck him in the head, killing
him instantly. Rapelji captured the
murderer, who gave his name as Wong
Duck.
Policeman MOrss, who was running
to the scene of the shooting, saw a
highlander run up to a Chinaman
named Chin Chi, who was standing in
a doorway and deliberately fire five
shots at him, killing him instantly.
The murderer then started to run,
whereupon Morss ordered him to stop,
but instead the highlander threw his
gun at Morss' head. AS he continued
to run Morss fired, the ball penetrat-
ing the Chinaman's back, and he is
now at the hospital not expected to
live.

where Mrs. Eckroate claims 20 have
seen the shooting and the Althouse
steps. E. d. Bomberger testified to the
same observations and to the same
effect.
Frank Hildenbrandt said he was the
first to reach Saxton's body. He heard
groan and found the body after strik-
ing match. He said the night was
dark and misty. An electric light shed
light on the upper part of the steps
but none on the body. He said people
could not be recognized in the dark
ness on that night.
Upton Shutz testified to the dark
ness of the night, that foliage of trees
was heavy and that burdocl1 burrs
were numerous along a vacant lot in
West Tuscarawas street.
George SWEET gave similar testimony.
At noon Mr.. Welty said the case
would probably go to the jury by the
middle of next week. He said the de-
tense would probably conclude this
week. Former Constable Jackman was
further examined after noon. He told
of replevining goods in SaXton's block
claimed by Mrs. George and Saxton's
objection to her going into the room to
identify the goods.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHING,
sounder Fixed at st. Marys Academy Re
sponded to Key Pressure at NOtre
Dame One and a Half Miles.

NoTRE DAME, Ind, April 2O.-Prof.
Green used the Marconi system with
greater success Wednesday than in
any previous trials. Wednesday aft
ernoon he telegraphed one and one
half miles without the use of wires
This was the fifth day of the expert
ments and when the sounder, fixed at
Marys academy, responded to the
pressure of the key at Notre Dame
Prof. Green had done as much as he
expected and more than he had prom
ised.
As preparation for the crucial test
of Wednesday afternoon Prof. Green
conducted an experiment over three
quarters of a mile Wednesday morn
ing. He placed his stations at Science
hall and the NOviate. and over the in
tervening distance the signals were
transmitted without an error. Wednes-
day he moved the receiving station
to st. Marys academy and placed the
sending instruments at the foot of the
university flagstaff, to the top of this
staff, which is 125 feet high. he swung
rack containing the metal sphere
and connected it with his sending APP
paratus. One mile and a half on the
clock tower of st. Marys academy was
a duplicate metal sphere connected
with coherer and sounder.
At $3.50 an expert telegrapher pressed
the key at the sending station, and
with the velocity OF light waves the
impulses reached the distant coherer.
Here the little hammer clattered out
its signals as clearly as if the sender
were but a yard and a half instead of
a mile and half away. The waves
traversed a country broken by trees
and buildings, many of which were
higher than the vocal wire at the re-
| ceiving station.

DUCKS OR STOCKS?
An Investment That Pays Better
Than DabbIinE in Stocks
on Tips.

A circular sent out by firm of tipsters
says: 1T is now over three years since We
first addressed you about our stock opera
tons During that time had you invested
800 at the beginning and compounded your
profits, your 800 would now be nearly
$4,775. Is there any business that will pay
you better than $4,775 profits on 800 capt
tai in three years." A copy of the circular
fell into the hands of man who made this
rejoinder:
The answer is, yes-ducks, tame, pud-
die, muscOvy, Pekin, or any other breed.
A little girl had 10 cents with which she
bought sitting of duck eggs. She Dor
rOwed a brooding chicken hen from her
mother, and all the eggs were Matched out.
Her profits for the first six months were So,
and she kept three hens and a drake for
the next six months operations. 1t is fair
tOpresume that her profits will be at least So
for each six months; one year SIG; three
years, $48. Divide $4S by her Is cents and
the quOtient will be 320-that is, each Of
her 10 cents will produce 800 cents; on 81
or 100 cents the profit will be $4,000 cents,
or $500; on 500 capital the profit would be
$4,000, against the $4,775. Verify good
investment is in duck eggs"

A woman whose husband was physician
for the California state prison recently had
in her kitchen one of the convicts from the
prison, Chinaman, serving a short SEN
tence for theft, but whose subsequent good
behavior had made for him many friends
among the government officials. John was
a good cook and more than cleanly, so the
doctors wife hailed him with delight and
mourned greatly when the days were busy
and John was not allowed beyond the pris-
on walls. John, when in the world, had
heard a good deal about the Sunday
school, life of his fellow celestials and
since his confinement had thought much on
the subject.
The doctor was very proud of Johns
cooking and one day invited a few friends
in for dinner. John was in his element
and prepared an elaborate meal. Among
the many delicacies for dessert ordered by
the doctors wife was an angel cake. John 5

A NOVEL INSURANCE IDEA.
A Scheme to Insure Against Unavoidable
Loss of Employment is Being Organ
lied in San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO April 2O.-A novel
idea in insurance, conceived by George
c. Platt, of this city, is about to be put
to practical test. The proposed in
surance is against unavoidable loss of
employment, the policy holder being
paid three-quarters the amount of his
salary for six months, should that time
be required in which to find a new po-
sitiOn. In case the premium holder,
having lost his place, should be Of
fered one on trial at less amount than
his former salary, the difference will
be made up by the company.
That the scheme is not visionary
one is shown by the fact that among
the stockholders of the new company
are some of the most prominent citi-
zens of the state, including P. N. Lii
Goth, Louis Sless, jr., NJ. II. Hecht, E.
w. Van Sycklen, VIM. L. Gerstle,
Charles R. Bishop, C. H. Croker and
N. D. Ridout. The company has the

HIS OLD YELLOW ALMANAC.

: left the farm when mother died, and
changed my place of dwelin
TO daughter Susie's stylish house, right
in the city street,
And there was them, before 1 came, that
sort of scared me tellin'
How l would find the town-folks' ways so
difficult to meet.
They said I'd have no comfort in the
rustlin' fiXed-up thrOng,
And I'd have to wear stiff collars every
weekday right along.
I find I take to city ways just like duck
to water,
I like the racket and the noise, and never
tire of shows;
And there's no end of comfort in the man
sion of my daughter.
And everything is right at hand and
money freely flows;
And hired help is all about, just listenin'
for my call,
But 1 miss the yellow almanac off my
kitchen wall.
The house is full of calendars from attic to
the cellar;
They're painted in all colors, and are
fancy-like to see.
But just in this particular I'm not mod
ern teller,
And the yellOw-cOvered almanac is good
enough for me;
I'm used to it, I've seen it round from boy
hood to old age,
And rather like the jokin' at the bottom
of each page.
I like the way the 'S'' stood out to show
the weeks beginnin
On these neW-fangled calendars the days
seemed sort of mixed,
And the man upon the cover, though he
wasn't exactly winnin'
With lungs and liver all exposed, still
showing how we are fixed:
And the letters, credentials that was writ
to Mr.. Aver,
I've often, on a rainy day, found readin'
very fair.

in the city.
They toted out great calendars in every
sort of style;
looked at 'em in cold disdain, and an
swered 'em in pity:
'I'd rather have my almanac than all
that costly pile"
And, though take to city life, I'm lone
some, after all,
For that old yellow almanac upon my
kitchen wall.

AMERICAN PROTECTORATE.
Gen. Gomez FavOrs This Action Until the
People of Cuba Can Establish
Stable Government.

HAVANA, April 2O.-Gen. Maxine
Gomez has determined to announce tC
the people of Cuba his support of an
American prOtectorate until such time
as stable, independent government
may be founded.
To a correspondent Gen. Gomez
made it known that he intends tc
take this step after consulting the
views of the leading men in his fol-
lowing. He is content to concur
with Americans until the island is paci-
fed, the rural police organized, the
Cuban soldier at work and insular re-
construction far advanced. No def
mite period for the occupation by the
Americans will be mentioned but the
manifesto will favor a cessation of the
agitation for the immediate with
drawal of the United States troops.
The declaration will be so worded
as to retain the support of those who
desire independence, yet will illustrate
the necessity of American assistance.
Gov. Gen. Brooke is aware of the pur-
poses of Gomez and has talked with
him about them. The announcement
will include a recital of the personal
views of the Cuban commander-in-
chief regarding the $3,OOO,O 600.
On this point he will say
that he favors buying plantations and
factories in which soldiers could
hold stock, drawing wages and divi-
dends, but as the soldiers need clothes
and shoes and something to tide over
immediate necessities, the money
should be paid out now. He thinks
the rural police should be one body, SC
that detachments living in one part OF
the island might be sent On emergency
into districts where they would not be
affected by local influences.
Gen. Alexandra Rodriguez, as the
new chief of police, will have COM
mand of larger force than he ever
had befOre-900 men in Havana and 800
rural. He also possesses the power to
dismiss or appoint, unrestrained by
statutes or boards, and can make the
force personally devoted to himself.
The Cuban Gen. DelgadO, who, with
four bands of Cubans, has been out in
search of bandits since Sunday, has
telegraphed Gen. Gomez and Gen. Lee
that he has found band and is in hot
pursuit of them. Gen. Lee sent com
pany of the 18th cavalry, under Capt.
Sickle, to join them.
The contract for the electric lighting
Of Havana has been given to Messrs.
Dubois and Boulanger, who will con-
struct an $500, 600 plant.
At Cienfuegos the police arrested al
American soldier. His companions
attempted to rescue him which brought
more police and soldiers to the scene
and provoked gen eral fight. Several
shots were fired but only one China
man was hurt. A bullet passed
through his legs. The soldier who
had been arrested escaped and ran into
the barracks. The police endeavored
to follow, but the sentinel refused
them admittance.
