| ties in China. But commitments OF
| American capital in foreign money
markets and the extension Of American
commercial interests have grown to
such proportions that any event which
would precipitate liquidation abroad
must be reflected directly and strongly
in the United States.
Besides the news from China, foreign
markets were affected by the tighten
ing of the money rate in London and
Paris, and a slightly easier tone in the
Berlin money market was not sufficient
to offset other depressing factors. The
break in the foreign prices of iron and
rumors of further concessions in iron
prices in this country emphasized the
weakness of stocks both abroad and in
this country. News of the domestic
iron trade was confused, reports of de-
clining prices being mingled with re-
ports of reopening of some mills recent
ly closed down. Tennessee Coal was
the weakest Of the steel group and lost

In the general list prices were weak
throughout, but stocks which have
shown some strength recently were
most affected. Atchison preferred, ST.

of the Colorado Midland by rival inter

against the company, and Great North
ern preferred declined points.
There is a growing uneasiness in
speculative circles over the prospects of
the wheat crop, the low condition re-
ported to-day from Ohio and the con-
tinued drouth in the northwest serving
to feed this apprehension. The money
market continues almost unprecedent-

Edward Malley of this city, whose f.
nancial circumstances allow of liberal
indulgence of his fancy, is very fond
of good horses, and habitually has a
number of fine pairs and valuable single
horses in his stable One of his favor
ties is the bay trotter Vino, whose (half
mile track record is 2:21A. For special
reasons Mr.. Malley has recently had
some curiosity to know something def
mite regarding Vino's speed condition.
Yesterday afternoon he had the trotter
sent to the stable of the veteran train
er, John B. Judd, with request that
Mr.. Judd drive the horse short dist
ance as a trial trip. At this time the
owner was reminded that the trotter
had not had any recent track work and
no preparation on the road for a fast
trial by the watch. 1t was also stated
that the track was in poor condition for
fast time.
Mr.. Judd gave the horse a little pre-
liminary exercise and started for half
trotter went with steady stride to the
quarter in 36 seconds and to the half in
1:12A without skip The gentlemen
who held the watches admired the fine
style of the horse at speed, and Mr..
Maley was agreeably surprised when
Mr.. Judd stated that with another trial
he could make about two seconds faster
time. After the trial Mr.. Malley stated
that although he had contemplated SELL
ing Vino he was perfectly satisfied that
the trotter is good enough to keep for
his pleasure and business driving
The pedigree of the trotter is interest
ing to connoisseurs of breeding Vino.

CHINESE LAUNDRY MOBBED.
CONGRESS 4 re. CROWD THREArEN
ED LYNCH A Ia UNDRYM1N.
Leo Wah Charged with Attempted Rape
on IA Five Yenr Old Girl-No Arrest
Made as linn ediatc Complaint WINS
Preferred-A Special Police Detail
Guarded tho Shop Last Night.

A mob Of several hundred persons
threatened for time last evening tc
wreck a Chinese laundry on Congress
avenue, near the corner of Arch street
and to do serious injury to the terrified
Monaghan proprietor, who had barri-
caded himself in his laundry. 1t was
only by police interference that the
crowd was prevented from doing vio-
lence and from carrying out threats of
lynchng.
1t seems that Tuesday evening some
little girls, among whom was five-year-
old Flora Welk of No. "a Arch street,
were playing on the sidewalk in front
of the laundry of Lee WAX on Congress
avenue, when Flora was pushed inside
the door of the laundry. Yesterday af-
ternoon Floras father heard of the cir
cumstances and this is what he heard:
He was told that when Flora was push
ed inside the laundry door she was
grabbed by a Chinaman, who asked her
to kiss him and offered her some pen
MES if she would do so.
Then, as the story went, Flora be-
until she broke from the clutches of
the Chinaman and ran out of the shop.
This story became noised about the
neighborhood last night and it was re-
ported that the proprietor Of the laun-
dry had attempted to rape the little
girl. A highly incensed crowd of people
from the neighborhood gathered III
front Of the shop and demanded that
the Chinaman be arrested Many
threats were made, and Patrolman W.
c. Allen took the laundryman and an
other Chinaman, who could speak Eng
fish, to act as interpreter, to the How
ard avenue police station
AT the station house Sergeant Tier
nan questioned Lee Wah and found
that he apparently could not speak a
word of English. The sergeant also
questioned the little girl, who insisted
that Lee Wah was the Chinaman who
grabbed her and also said that he had
asked her to kiss him and had offered
her some pennies.
In view of the fact that Lee Wah
could not speak English, Sergeant Tier
nan thought it improbable that he was
the man complained of. All Cinnamon
evidently looked alike to the little girl,
and since in order to make an arrest
without a warrant the arrest must be
made on the immediate complaint after
the alleged offense, and since the alleg
ed offense in this case had occurred
twenty-four hours previously, the SER
geant decided not to hold Lee Wah, but
told Mr.. Welk, the father Of Flora, that
1t would be advisable for him to see
the city attorney and secure a warrant,
if, in the opinion Of that official. the
evidentary facts warranted Lee Wah's
arrest.
Lee Wah was allowed to go, and Pa
trolman Allen escorted him back to his
laundry and was detailed to watch the
place during the night and protect the
Chinaman from the mob in case vio-
lence was attempted. Early in the eve
ming, before the police dispersed the
crowd, threats of lyhching were made
and it was feared that Lee Wah would
be severely dealt with if he fell into the
hands of the crowd.

New York, June 6.-About midway

change there was rise of three points
in New Jersey Central on rumors of
control by the Baltimore ana Ohio. This
incident offered an isolated feature Of
strength in the days marked and caus-
ed the only brief respite from the mood
of depression which prevailed all day
The most effective single factor was
the warlike development in China. This
influence was reflected in New York
from foreign stock markets from the
opening here, and London's actual sales
here ran up to about 10000 shares about
half of which were of Atchison prefer
red. This selling had notably weak
ening effect in so narrow market as
now prevails. The sympathetic effect
of the foreign weakness was even more
marked

WATER BONDS OR SPECIAL TAX.

Taxpayers Of this city are presented
by the city council with the unpleas-
ant alternative of borrowing $3.50. 900 on
bonds or paying an additional tax this
year Of five or six mills. The propo-
sitiOn to bond or be taxed is for i'm
provements in the municipal water
system.
A large part of The expense, about
100000. has already been incurred or
contracted for by the council, so the
citizen may count upon meeting the OBJ
legation in one of the two forms. Some
of the contracts let seem to have been
given with more of an eye to individual
profit than for the public welfare, and
future contracts may reasonably be
expected to follow the same course IN
der the present management of city
affairs.
Notwithstanding this unpleasant fis-
cal condition. the council has increased
current city expenses at a rate that
viii make the city government for 1900
cost at least 100000 more than it did
In 1899 Much Of this Increase is need
less extravaganza, and unfortunately
there IS no prospect of reform until
there is a change of public officials.
There is no question as to the need
Of a better water system. Nor is there
any question that the crowd in control
of the municipality viii be extrava-
SAINT. if not worse, in the construction
of the proposed Improvements. They
have determined. however. to spend
the money, and the taxpayer NAV be
thankful he has any choice at all as
to how the money shall be furnished
As between bonds and a heavy spe-
cial tax levy, The Herald believes
bonds are preferable.
Indeed. a tax of five mills or more.
as threatened by the council would
bring the general levy up to a point
that would mean confiscation of small
property holdings.
But if Salt Lake votes for an issue
of S25O,OO0 in bonds the public should
at the same time demand retrenchment
in the city's finances. Unless such a
demand is made and needed. the bur
den of taxes viii more than Offset any

tenn.
