A Bunch of Unauthenticated Rumors
From China,

Victoria, 3. c., June est is report
ed at Pekin, according to news received
by the Empress of China, that the en-
peror will resume power next month;
another report says that about June 20
a new emperor would be proclaimed.
One authority believes the new ruler
will be grandson of the late Prince
Kung: another asserts that grand
son of the fifth prince has been chosen
to succeed Kuang Hsu.
The empress dowager is said to be
altogether ''out of sorts" full of anxiety
and much given to weeping. The pal
ace is far from enjoying a state of har-
mony.
The cabinet is little better. Wang
Wen-Shao pleads age and infirmfty
and then relapses into silence kang II
is jealous of the immense power now
welded by Jung Lu, and despises him
for his inexperience in important gov
ernment business; but both hold to-
gether for the maintenance of the en-
press dowager and the enrichment OF
the Manchus, whose present watchWord
is: ut is going. Grab as much as pos
sible while the chance lasts"

DEELEY'S READY CLUB.
Brutality Assaults Patient in tn
Receiving Hospital.

Policeman Larry Deeley distinguished
himself last evening by assaulting a pa
tent in the Receiving Hospital while the
latter was on the operating table.
Shortly after o'clock Officer Harry
ODay found drunken man lying on the
sidewalk at Mission and Beale streets.
On the way to the City Prison the intox-
icated individual attempted to assault
the officer, and finding that he could not
handle him O'Day called .Deeley, who was
patrolling his beat on Market street. See
ing ODay struggling with his prisoner
Deeley took out his club and brought it
down on the drunken mans head, lnfiict-
ing an ugly scalp wound. His victim was
then taken to the Receiving Hospital and
as he lay on the operating table hand
cuffed and held down by five men Deeley
struck him with his clenched fist in the
face, and again taking out his club pro-
ceeded to beat his head off, as he eX-
citedly expressed it. Just as he raised the
locust preparatory to striking his help
less victim Police Surgeon We'll, who was
stitching the cut in the unfortunate mans
head, grabbed the arm of the Infatuated
officer, thus preventing him from further
injuring the helpless patient. He then or
dered Deeley out of the hospital, after
threatening to call his seemingly brutal
conduct to the attention of the Police
Commissioners.
O'Day subsequently, took his prisoner
to the City Prison, where he was booked
for drunkenness and battery. He gave
his name as John Gleeson and his occu-
patton as that of a laborer.
