TROUBLE AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Chinese Highbinders and Board ol
Health Clash on Plague Question.

Chinese Highbinders and Board of
Health Clash on Plague Question.
San Francisco. May 23.-The Chinese
highbinders and the board of health
have had clash over the bubonic
plague question and up to the present
time the highbinders seem to be ahead.
So far by threats to assassinate any
Chinese who submits to innoculatiOn
against the plague they have prevent
ed the Chinese from taking treatment.
There are 25.OOO Chinese in the Chi
nese quarter and they are terrorized at
the prospect of vaccination with the
Haffkine brophylactic. 1t was stated
at meeting of the board of health
that at first the Chinese were willing
to undergo the treatment. but that the
highbinder element circulated the re-
port that the whites had cOnspired to
kill of the Chinese and had adopted
this means to do it. This story had
immediate effect. and it will require
force to make the chinese submit.
The chinese merchants have closed
their stores. not on account of fear of
the vaccination. but for fear their
stores will be wrecked by the ignorant
Chinese masses who hold them re-
sponsible for the action of the board
of health. So far as plague cases are
concerned there have been no devel-
opments and no new cases have been
discovered.

DISTURBED CONDITIONS.
Prevents the Organization of Civil
Government in Southern LuzOn.


Government in Southern Luzon.
Manila. May 23-Gen. James NJ. Bell,
commanding the hemp provinces of
Southern Luzon. has issued an order
to his officers not to attempt to Or
ganize them under the system of gov
ernment prescribed by Gov. Gen. Gus
in his recent order on account of the
disturbed conditions. The Americans
occupy a few coast towns which the
insurgents surround. constantly as.
sailing the garrisOns. which are too
small to attempt operations in the sur
rounding country. Maj. Gen. Wise,
with two companies, in Donsol. an i'm
portant town of Sosorgon, is surroun-
ded by thousand insurgents. The
Americans occupy trenches and are
continually exchanging shots with the
enemy Several regiment sare needed
to control each southern province, but
they caIrot be spared from their pres
ent stations. Another squadron of
cavalry will be sent to Gen. Bell. On
the first trouble occurring with the
Moros in the southern part of Min
danao. at Cottobato, Maj. Britt sent a
detachment to preserve peace at
conference between two quarreling
chiefs. During the conference the
tribesmen began shooting. One of the
bands fired upon the Americans from
an old Spanish fort. The soldiers re.
turned the fire, killing several Of the
natives. but they were unable to take
the fort although gunboat shelled it.
Mai. Britt is sending a larger body to
punish the recalcitrants.

Germany Not Unlikely to Have
Trouble in Her Samoan Islands.
New York. May %. - A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Unofficial advices which have been
received by the authorities here indi-
cate that Germany is likely to expert
ence trouble in dealing with the na.
tives of Upolu and Savaii, Of the Sa-
moan group. Mataafa, one Of the Sd
moan chiefs. expected to be rewarded
with the kingship after German SOW
ereignty had been extended over the
islands and is very much disgruntled
over his failure to secure the prize he
has been SO earnestly seeking. Ger
man officials have been placed in
charge of the islands. and the natives
will BE- required to bow to German
laws and regulations. Mataafa and
his people are said to be much ex.
ercised over the policy their new gov
ernment is pursuing, and in some quar-
ters., no surprise will be felt if revolt
Is experienced.

Washington, May 23.-The state de-
partment has met the issue raised by
the coming to Washington Of the Boe1
delegation by declining to interfere IN
behalf Of the South African republics
in the present struggle. In view OF
this announced decision all questions
as to the character Of the recognition
to be extended to the delegates ana
the sufficiency of their credentials
dropped at once into the background.
1t was after all of little moment
whether or not the Beers were re-
ceived as diplomatic agents or minis
ters so long as they were powerless
to promote the prime object OF their
mission. namely, cause the united
States government to Intervene 10
bring about peace. The meeting be-
tween the delegates and secretary Hay
was brought about in
The Simplest Manner.
Gen. O'Beirne had secured from the
department Saturday promise to en-
tertain any credentials that might be
presented Monday. Yesterday MORN
ing a note came to the state depart
ment from the delegates asking that
they be permitted to present them
selves at the department. A prompt
acCuiescence was returned bySecretary
Hay and the hour of 2:3O was fixed
for the meeting. At that time the
three delegates appeared. They were
unaccompanied, and were shown at
once into the diplomatic room. Secre-
tary Hay, accompanied by Mr.. Bah
cock. his private secretary and stenog-
rapher. entered the diplomatic room
and cordially greeted his visitors. Just
what passed between them probably
will never be exactly known. for when
the meeting was over. after lasting an
hour. the Beers. in departing, stated
to number Of anxious newspaper
men that they had and would
Have Nothing to Say
as to what happened. For his part
the secretary of state was more COM
municative. but before making any
statement made his way to the White
House and consulted the president.
Then he gave out, through his secre-
tary, a statement in which he said
that the ROer delegates had ut much
length and with great eloqIence laid
before the secretary the merits of their
controversy. and the desire OF the Boel
republics that the United States should
intervene in the interest of peace.
Secretary of State Hay, in replying.
informed the delegates that in the
present circumstances the president
feels that no course is open to him
except to persist in the policy of I'M
partial neutrality between England
and the South African republics.

FOUL PLAY IS SUSPECTED.
Elling Olson Is Thought to Have
Been Murdered Near Fargo for Hls
Money.


Elling Olson OF Woiverton, Mimi.
was found lying by the roadside TWO
miles from Fargo. with his neck broK-
en-. The identity of the deceased was
established by some letters on his per-
son. He appeared to be travelling and
had a nice team of gray horses ana
some supplies in his wagon. When dis
covered the horses were attached TO
the wagon and the front wheel was on
Olson's neck. People living along the
road had seen Olson driving out be-
tween and o'clock. and he appeared
very much intoxicated. He was ac-
companied by a. man whom he is sup
posed to have met in a Moorhead sa-
LOOM The latter is missing, and as no
money was found on Olson's body, foul
play is suspected The two ladies who
found the body saw man lying IN a
field near by, face downward, as IL
hiding. and when they left, the latter
was seen running away. The remains
were brought to Fargo. and are evil
IDENTIFY those Of a man about thirty
eight years of age. A saloonkeeper
heard man answering Olson's descrip-
tion say that he intended committing
suicide. as his wife had died, but the
officials believe that some hanger-on
about the saloon followed Olson and
committed the crime to secure his mon
ey.
A late report says: Peter Ness has
been arrested in connection with the
death of Filing Olson. From present
indications it is not likely that murder
was committed.
Both men had been in Moorhead all
day drinking, and We're intoxicated
when started home by friends. Ness
| claims that at the fork of the ROAD
south of Fargo he wanted to- go one
way and Olson the other. He asserts
that. rather than go Olson's route. he
| jumped out Of the wagon. After gong
a short distance. he claims. Olson fell
| out and broke his neck. When he saw
two ladies' coming along the road he
laid face downward in a field. and. lat
er. ran to the river. At o'clock next
morning he was found ut the water
works. still drunk.
Neither of the men had any money
| when they left MOOrhead. The officials
will hold Ness. as some OF olson
friends are inclined to believe there
was drunken row. during which Ness
threw his companion from the wagon.
Ness running away is regarded as sl'S-
picious But he asserts he was so
frightseed at the untimely accident
that he could not resist making his
escape.

SMOOTH DETECTIVE.
He Charges Aldermen With Accept
ing Bribes.

Scranton. Pa. May 23.-Six months
ago the ranks Of the city hall lobby
lists were augmented by the addition of
a young man giving the name of Jo-
seph Harris, and representing bimself
to be engaged by the Scranton Rail
way company to work against the new
license tax ordinance by which the
street car companies were to be taxed
4 per cent of the gross receipts. The
ordinance was killed, but came up
again in the new council after April,
and was passed but the tax on the
street car companies was cut down to

cilmen. charging bribe-taking. He
proved to be a New York detective
