LEUNG MADE No BREAKS
WAS SENT FOR BY PRESIDENT
DOLE.
What He Told the Executive-Bow
Wongs Think Another Informant
Came Afterwards.

Leung Chi-tso, the Chinese reformer.
denies that he was the cause of the
failure of the Bow Wongs to get their
charter. The society is organized and
is still in existence without a charter,
and the members say they can do some
of the work they had in prospect with
out any There is no way to stop them
holding meetings.
Leung was sent for by President Dole
last Saturday at noon. AS the great
reformer does not speak English he
took as Interpreter DIR. c. Yakman.
The president was alone with the two
Cinnamon for about half an hour, ask
ing questions about the Bow Wong and
at the end of that period he is declared
by Yakman to have expressed himself
as more favorably disposed toward the
society and pleased that it had changed
the too high-sounding name which
caused all the trouble. The Wongs
think that some one else got the presi-
Dental ear later and poured into it
more stories of the dreadful things the
Bow Wongs were going to do under
their charter to publish newspapers,
circulate books and hold meetings.
DR.. Yakman says that President Dole
questioned Leung about the society and
was given information on some points,
which Leung said friends had told him,
while other matters he did not know
about. He was acquainted with some
Of the officers and not with others. As
far as he had heard of the objects they
We're to translate Western literature
into Chinese and publish papers, and
to try and elevate the Celestials of Ha-
wall He said that the work of the or
ganization was to be principally here,
though it might have business with a
book -translating organization in the
| orient.
THE president at the end of the in
terview seemed to be favorably i'm
pressed" said Yakman, Though he
told me he could make no promise. I
suppose some one else told more
! stories"

QUARANTINE AS STRICT AS
EVER.
steerage Passengers Anticipated a
Bath But Did Not Get 1.-THE
Chances at San Francisco.

A hundred steerage passengers were
at the Oceanic wharf by o'clock this
morning, waiting to go on board the
Australia. There were Galicians, Jap
anese, Italians and most other races
among them. They expected that the
steamship company was going to take
them somewhere and give them all a
bath, as they had been told to prepare
for such an ordeal, but 1t was decided
that this was not necessary, and they
were allowed on board after being ex
amined by DR.. Carmichael. They were
all aboard by II o'clock, and they well
crowded the steerage deck of the pop
ular steamer.
"All the thieves and robbers in town
are here" said one of the lot sarcasti-
cally, having in mind the police talk
that recent robberies have been partly
due to the fact that many people could
rot get away by steerage. THE mar
shall and police can take a rest now,
and we have decided that all the priv
ate property on board shall change
hands before the Australia gets to the
Golden Gate"
The cabin passengers arrived later.
They were all to be on board by 2
o'clock. Every preparation had been
made TO provide good accommodations
for all on the big list, which is not up
to the vessels full capacity.
The Australia was as strictly quaran-
tined as ever. All the baggage was dis
infected in the warehouse till the air
hecame so strong that the passengers
reached the wharf with tears in their
| eyes. and for days the steamer well
smell like pepper. Farewells had to be
spoken outside and leis were once more
tabu. If the steamer is quarantined
at San Francisco on account of the
many steerage passengers, the company
/ will be put to very heavy expense
| boarding them, as no deposits to pay
for such expenses have been put up by
those in the steerage.
The Australia will be here again q
month from now and by that time her
officers and men hope there will no
longer be any guards to keep them con-
| fined to the ship.

IN THE HARBllR
ARE IN NEED Of CHARITY q
THE ECHO sMAsHEs INTO tai
FORTUNA.
Tried to Leave without Pilot to Save
Pilot Fees-Muoh wreckase on the
Fortuna.

The barkentine Echo, Captain Belle
son, trying TO get out of the harbor to-
day without a pilot, smashed into the
bark Fortuna, which is lying at the coal
wharf, doing damage which, with the
delays it will cause, will amount to
several thousand dollars. The barken-
tine was in tow of the tug Fleu, and
after leaving her anchorage started FOR
the channel, She did not make the turn
quickly enough.
The Echo struck the Fortuna on the
port quarter. She badly smashed the
rail, broke the water ways and the lift
of the spanker boom. The boom fell
and broke the skylight and after rail,
and the companion way. The wheel was
also damaged. To repair all these will
cost in the neighborhood of a thousand
dollars. The Echo lost her martingale
and all her headgear.
The Echo would have saved half of
the pilot fee if she had managed to get
out of the harbor without the aid of a
pilot
The total fee for the vessel would
have been only $32. so, so that she would
only have saved SIT so. AS it is, there
will be a big bill against her, and she
will be a good deal delayed in depar-
ture.
The Fortuna is a Norwegian bark in
command of Captain Nikkelsen. She
brought coal here from Newcastle, and
had fire in her cargo just after ar
riving. The coal is not all out yet
