BITTEN BY MAD DOG.
Four Victims in the Hudson
City Section Yesterday.

An unknown bulldog, supposed to be
mad created a deal of excitement ana
alarm in the Hudson City section yester-
day afternoon and bit four persons before
he was run down and shot. The victims
are six-year-old Frank Luck. of Bowers
street and Hancock avenue; William +.
Davis, of No. ia Hancock avenue; Mrs.
Mary Hestic, of Summit avenue, and H.
c. Ludwig, fifty-six years old, a wealthy
manufacturer, who lives at No. 96 Ogden
avenue.
The dog made its appearance on Bowers
street about two o'clock, foaming at the
mouth and snarling and swapping at
every one. Young Luck was playing oppo-
site his home when the dog ran up to that
vicinity
He heard people shouting from door
stoops and windows, warning him TO look
out, but he did not see the dog and dld
not. therefore, understand their shouts OF
alarm. The next instant the sharp fangs
of the animal was Fastened in the calf OF
one of the boys legs.
1t then ran up Hancock avenue. Davis,
the second victim, was directly in the
dogs way. 1t sprang at him and bit him
on the arms and one of his legs. BY this
time the crowd pursuing the dog had in
creased to hundreds, who shouted to peo-
pie in the dogs path to get out of the
way.
1t was driven through various streets
until it reached Summit avenue Mrs.
Heslin happened to be in its way. She
almost stumbled over the brute, who
snapped furiously at her, tearing her
skirt almost into shreds and burying it's
fangs into her limbs. Mrs. Hestie almost
tainted. She was carried to the nearest
drug store, where her wounds were eau
terized. The dog leaving Mrs. Hestie,
sprang at Mr.. Ludwig, who happened TO
be near by He was bitten in the hand.
The crowd pursued the infuriated ami
NAL hurting sticks and stones at it and
finally forced it into the yard of the
house at No. 1.OO5 Summit avenue and
closed the gates. For awhile 1t made
meaningless circuits of the yard, swapping
at the grass and the fence.
Finally Policeman Curran, of the Web
ster avenue station came upon the scene
and fred three shots into the dogs body.
The third shot put it out of business.
Parents had driven their children into
their homes and excitement had run high:
It was some time after the dog was dead
that the fears of the residents OF the en-,
tire neighborhood were allayed. DAVIS
wounds were cauterized by DR.. Henry,
those of Mrs. Hespie by DR.. O'Connel,
and young Luck's by DR.. HornbioWer Mr.
Ludwig went over Immediately to Pas
teur's Institute for treatment.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Otis. Alleged Action Discussed
BY Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Sept %, 1S99.-At the
Cabinet, meeting today the subject of Chi
nese exclusion in the Philippines was dis
cussed at some length. 1t was decided to
ask General Otis for definite information
as to what had been done especially in
regard to particular complaint from the
Chinese Minister that one ship load of
Chinese had been stopped. General Otis
will be asked to give reasons why this
action was taken First Assistant Secre-
tary Hill of the State Department was
present at the session on account OF the
Chinese exclusion topic.
The telegram from Gen. Otis relating to
the occupation of churches by United
States troops in the Philippines was read
and discussed. No orders win be sent to
Gen. Otis on this topic, as it is regarded
as a part of warfare to occupy churches
The subject of postal matters In cuba
and Porto Rico was considered and 1T was
decided to reduce the rate in Porto Rico
from Ave cents to two cents, allowing the
same regulations to prevail as in Cuba
The Chinese Minister called at the State
Department today and held a long confer
ence with Acting Secretary Hill respecting
the admission into the Philippines of some
Chinese. The case is an exceptional one,
and ii is said that the general question OF
the validity and propriety Of Gen. OTIS
extension of the Chinese exclusion laws
to the Philippines was not an issue In the
conference.
Senator Davis, chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. happened to
call at the time and was participant in
the discussion, giving the department the
benefit of his views of the attitude that
would be assumed by his committee and
perhaps BY Congress respecting such
Questions as that presented. There are
some indications that the adoption of a
more elastic policy in the matter. Of
Chinese exclusion will be suggested to
General Otis but nothing has yet been
done in that direction.

When the Cabinet went into session no
new developments in the Transvaal situ-

the Cape continued of a warlike tone and
voiced the indignation OF the British
contingent against the Orange Free
State and Afrikander attitudes.
The impression current here, though
not based on anything tangible, was that,
publicly, the Cabinet would only take
steps tending to protract the negotiations
