TAX COLLECTORS FIGHT.
the New Man Elected aud a Scrim-
mage II started.

San Francisco, Jan. 0.-Scott's cleo
ton as tax collector is being contested
in the courts by Collector Sheehan,
whose term expired yesterday, on the
ground that Scott has not resided
here for five years, as required by the
charter. Last night Sheehan barri-
eaded his office in the city hall, ex-
pecting to defend his alleged rights.
At noon, Scott, accompanied by depu-
ties, headed by Alex Greggains, the
pugilist, approached the tax col
lectors office. Scott approached Tax
Collector Sheehan and after reading
his certificate of election called upon
Sheehan to turn the office over to
him. Sheehan refused and 1t is al
legged that Scott struck him, This
started the fight, in which gas pipe,
clubs, chairs and pistols were used.
The office was somewhat wrecked
and a merry fight was on when a
squad of police entered. Two officers
made liberal use of their clubs before
a semblance of order was restored.
One shot was fired wounding John
0Brien, one of Scott's men, in the
neck. The wound may prove TO be ia
tall Scott is now in possession of the

CELEBRATION OF DEWEY DAY.


Chicago, Jan. 9.-For some time
there has been an active discussion
between Gen. A. d. Shaw, COM
mander-in-chief of the G. A. r., and
the local committee in charge of the
reception to be extended to Admir-
al Dewey in this city next May. The
local committee yesterday adopted the
following:
at is the sense of this committee
that Mayor Harrison be requested to
communicate with Gen. A. d. Shaw,
commander-in-chief of the G. A. r.,
and that it is the unanimous opinion
of those having charge on behalf of
the city of the entertainment of Ad-
miral George Dewey, May |, 1900, that
it would not be wise to change the
date and merge the celebration with
the annual meeting Of the Grand
Army of the Republic, which will
tage place in this city the last week
in August, as May is the second an
niversary of the battle of Manila, and
it is the purpose to perpetuate the eel
ebration of the battle from year to
year as Dewey day. Chicago having
been the first city in the country to
indicate to the authorities at Wash
ington the propriety of assuming the
policy in the east that was afterwards
adopted by the government.

LOSS OF LIFE AT SEA.
British Vessel Springs Leak and Many
Of the Crew Are Drowned In Try.
ing to Escape.

San Francisco, Jan. 0.-The story
of the loss of the British steamer
Hepeh, on her voyage from this city
to Hong Kong via Java, has been re-
ceived in this city and the details
show that the loss of the vessel was
accompanied by a far greater loss
OF life than the cabled reports told
OF. The vessel sprung leak after
leaving Java with cargo of sugar
for Hong Kong. The Chinese crew
refused to work and the ships boats,
with one exception, were destroyed
during storm and the crew built
number of RATS, launching them and
setting them atloat. leaving the cap
tain and one passenger on board the
sinking vessel. The Europeans occu
pied one raft and the Chinese were
divided on six or seven others. The
RATS We're soon surrounded by hun
dreds of layenous sharks who, in
their eagerness to get at the ship
wrecked sailors, jumped far out of the
water. Soon several of the Chinese
RATS We're overturned and it was then
that the Europeans decided to return
to the vessel. The only remaining
boat was repaired and launched, the
captain taking command. The island
of Luband, in the Philippine group,
was finally made and on the natives
learning that the mariners were Brit
ish subjects made them comfortable
and later sent them to Manila. Moth
ing was ever heard of the Chinese
crew, numbering 4j men, and they
must have been drowned and de-
youred by the pursuing sharks.

MISSOURI TO ACT.
Proceedings to Stop Chicago from Pollut.
Ing the Mississippi by Means Of Sew
age Of he Canal,

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 5.-Attor-
ney General Grow is preparing to in
stitute proceedings in the supreme
court of the United States to stop the
people of Chicago from the alleged
pollution of the waters Of the Mis-
sissippi river by means of the sewage
of the Chicago canal. Last night he
made the following statement regard
ing the matter: Il have been for
several months quietly watching the
steps being taken leading up to the
opening Of the Chicago canal with
a view of ascertaining at the proper
time, in a legal way, through the fed
eral supreme court, the right of the
sovereign state of Missouri through
its state government, to protect the
citizens against the pollution of the
Mississippi river, one-half of which
is, by the act admitting Missouri and
Illinois to tine union, within the ter-
ritorial jurisdiction Of the state of
Missouri. The state has a direct in
terest; first, because the health of The
citizens of the great city OF st. Louis
is directly menaced second, L'ecause
thousands of our citizens, outside Of
st. Louis, live upon the bank of this
largest of inland rivers and are forced
to use its waters. Injury TO the pur-
ity or quality of the water of flow
ing stream, to the detriment of RI
parian owners, constitutes a nuisance,
as much as a permanent obstruction"

A Business Proposition.

There is side to the Philippine
question whichappeals to the common
business sense of the American people
as well as one which touches their pa.
triotsm. The United States is the
greatest producing nation in the world.
1t is estimated that with a population
of $1,000, 900 people we produce enough
for 100000, 900 people. With that much
surplus to dispose of, the serious ques
ton is where we can sell it to the best
advantage and at the largest profit.
1t is unnecessary to say that the
American people will protect their
home market at the same time that
they are reaching out for Others. They
recently had experience Of neglecting
home markets under the unlamented
Wilson tariff law, which they will not
desire to repeat. But in addition 10 the
home market we must have Others.
There is one only market in the
world which may be considered open

Populist Economy illustrated.

An interesting estimate OF populist
legislative economy, about which they
are saying so much, can be made from
senate bill No. 45s Of The last session,
known as the miscellaneous appropria-
ton bill, from which the republican
house struck out items to the extent Of
over $40, 900, which had been passed BY
the economical populist senate. Sam
pies Of the items rejected will be found
below:
Item seven in the bill was for 1900
to Judge David Martin for attending
to the stock yards case for Attorney
General Boyle. The house struck the
item out entirely, c9ntending that the
attorney general should have done the
work himself in the first place, and
that the ~, 900 which Judge Martin had
already been paid from Gov. Leedy's
contingent fund was liberal fee any
way. The senate insisted on the item
and a compromise was made on $500.
Item II, as passed by the senate, was
for 81, 900 for A. Z. Helm. another pop
ulist lawyer, for doing some work for
which the populist attorney general
had been elected to perform. The
house struck this item out entirely.
The senate insisted and S625 was finally
accepted as compromise
Items Is and is were for extra pay for
the state printer and aggregated $500,
although everyone knows that is the
best paid Office in the state. The house
killed the items and they stad dead.
Item 20 was for S425 for attorney fees
for John W. Breidenthal. Killed in
the house.
Item SO was to Harvey e. Harvey,
populist lawyers, for $3o4.6o. Killed
in the house.
Item 40 was to Fl. B. Kelly, former
populist member of the board Of char
tiles, for $685. for back pay. Killed
in the house, but the senate forced
compromise at $50.
Item 40 was to G. G. Clemens and 0.
4. Hungate, populist lawyers, for con.
Quoting u case to determine whether
or not Gov. Leedy's court Of visitation
session of the legislature was legal.
Killed by the house.
Item 4S was for Rankin Mason, an
other OF the pop economical reformers,
and was for 5000 for attorney fees fol-
Webb McNall's department. 1t was
buried by the house, and the state
saved the money
Item IS was to "Mrs Cora Prescott |
for stock destroyed on the grounds Of
the Topeka insane asylum through the
fault Of the pop asylum employees"
The house thought "the fault of asylum
employees" had already cost the state
enough, and the item was stricken out.
Item 50 was to W. N. Allen, another
pop Office holder, and was for S376.7O
for back salary while member of the
board Of charities. Killed in the house.
Items 10Sl5 and 1O9H were to pop
Office holders for extra pay, although
they had received the full compensa-
ton provided by law. The aggregate
amount was S5GG6O The house thought
that as the pop legislature had failed
to pay legal salaries ii could not afford
to indulge in any extras, and the items
were sent to the graveyard
Thus it will be seen that but for the
Intervention OF the republican house,
these political reformers would have
several thousand dollars Of
the peoples money for attorney fees,
for pop lawyers, extra pay for pop
ofiee-holders and pay for careleSsness
OF pop asylum employees
