TO RESTORE THE EMPEROR.



San Francisco, Sept. 4-Leong Kai
Tim, who claims to be a special am
bassador of the deposed emperor of
China, Kwang Su, delivered IN i'm
passioned address to a large audience
of his countrymen in the Jackson
street theater. His plea for the res
toration OF the emperor and the mod
ernlzation of China and his deplo-
ration OF the indigrities that had been
heaped upon the unfortunate emperor
by the empress dowager were so elo-
quent that the yellow men in the
audience were moved 10 tears.
Charges the French with I.ooting,
Denver. Col, Sept. 4.--Maj. s. X.
Hooper. of this city, has received a
letter from Lieut., Col. G. A. Coolidge,
dated Tien Tsin, August 8. Col
Coolidge led the Ninth infantry in its
attack on the inner walls Of Tien
Tsin. The letter gives an ccoun of
the fighting at Tien Tsin and con-
tinues:
"fhe Japs looted the Chinese houses
but the French were entirely in the
robbery business, and robbed and
then murdered right and left and do
still. l believe the British were
granted one day to loot, but this was
soon stopped, except by the French,
who still continued the work in their
W quarter. The American quarter
has been very quiet and we guard II
best we can with our small garrison.
The Chinese dead are all buried, and
the town is cleared up and peaceable.
There were 10000 dead Chinese and
probably one-third of the city is
burned by shot and shell or incendia-
rieS. On account Of the crowded con
dition of the city II would be a good
thing IL one-half Of It were de-
stroyed."

will enter the racing contests TO be
held rext week The spectacle of so
many Indians in one long train OF
wagons, with their sleepy looking po-
nies and their wagons loaded with
their tepee poles and belongings, all
headed by an Indian band from the
Caddo schools. was one that attracted
no little attention. Many of the In
dians rode along on horseback in lit
tie groups and some were riding good
looking horses, which they will prob
ably enter in the races, One wagon
contained half dozen braves in full
war paint, seated about large brass
drum, or tom tom, laid fat on its side
and upon which each of the Indians
kept up seemingly systematic tLump-
ing, mean while singing and whoop-
ing. The proce; sion was strung out
for three quarters of mile and will
undoubtedly attract plenty Of atten-
tion between here an 1 Oklahoma City.
