Fierce San Francisco Chinese.

San Francisco Feb. l.-Detective
George Mcmahon and Officer Burke,
who have been active in the suppress
sion of highlander crimes in China
town since the recent war was inau-
gurated, last night discovered and
frustrated what is considered plot to
destroy the Suey Ting Tong head
quarters and portion Of Chinatown
with dynamite.
Fd several days the officers have
been unusually active on account of
the rumors that serious trouble would
occur after the Chinese New Year.
They have searched the headquarters
Of the various tongs for weapons and
explosives, but with little success. Last
night they visited a building known as
the old Palace Hotel, located on Jack
son street, between Dupont and Kear-
ney, and known to be the headquarters
of the Suey Sing Tong. II Is a two
story affair with basement and shell
tiers not only highbinders and Chinese
criminals but a number OF opium
smokers. In this place quantity of
high explosives, weapons and a COM
plete outfit for manufacturing bullets
were found when Acting Chief Biggy
first raided Chinatown.

Jim Hills SChtme
For More Pacific /. neIS

Chicago. Jan. 2S.-The Record to-
morrow will say: Within The next five
years. according to James j. Hill. the
steamships to be operated between
points on the North Pacific Coast and
the orient, in connection with the
Great Northern Railroad, will number
the largest in the ocean service, and
each VIII have speed of twelve knots
an hour. At present eight of them
either are in course of construction or
have been contracted for, and as soon
as they leave the shipwrights hands
they will be pressed into the new ser
vice.
In the mind OF the Great Northern's
president, the proposed service to the
Orient will be an important benefit 10
the industries Of the North and North
west.
Mi. Hill, unfolding his plans, said:
81 propose to build as many vessels
MS the trade with the Orient will iusti-
fy, and that will be a good many. The
natural market of the Pacific Coast is
China, Japan and the Philippines The
docks at Seattle are large enough to
accommodate all of the shipping for
some time. but eventually the condi-
tons will warrant more extensive har-
Dor accommodations 1t is too far
from the Pacific to the Eastern States
to ship many Of the Northwestern
products to the East. A market for
grain in the Orient will give the far
mers price higher than they can get
in the East.
THE products of the iron and coal
mines and of the lumber regions in
the Northwest can be sold to better adj
vantage in the markets of the Orient
than they bring in the East 1t is not
like forcing something upon the mar
ket that people do not want. They
want everything we can take to them
and we want their products. We shall
have twenty-five steamships In this
service within the next five years. The
vessels will be of the largest size, with
enormous carrying capacities and COM
paratively slow speed. Speed Is not
so much of an object as to place the
goods on the other side of the Pacific
so they may compete with the native
products

rived. 1t was Samples, the fax cloth
man, the factory man, the man with
letters Of introduction! Yes, sir he had
arrived to give his subordinates dlrec-
lions. and as he fed with the others
he tripped and fell, and we were en-
abled to overhaul him. He didn't even
bluff. We had got him SO pat that he
couldn't say anything. In his pockets
were letters sufficient to convict him
twice over, and his game was UP.
You know what human nature is in
small town. l had been maligned
and abused without stint for failing to
capture the horse thieves. Now that
had got all the stolen horses in a
bunch. and the boss thief in addition,
nothing was too good for me. was
called a hero and all that and got
serenade from the band and had bon
fires galore in my honor. The arrest
of Samples was a thunderclap, but the
public soon got over its astonishment
and demanded that he receive the
maximum punishment OF the law. he
was examined, committed for trial.
and took care to give him the strong
est cell in the county jail The man
gave me no trouble. After recovering
his cheek li.sle he claimed that he
would be able to prove mis- c-l'-ire inno-
cence before a jury "ud he was so
CHEEKY and good natured that | came
to like him. He had three months TO
wait for the circuit court, and he made
no move in regard to lawyers or VII
nesses until half the time had expired.
By that time the public had lost most
of it's interest in the case.
One day Samples announced to me
that his sister would soon arrive to sec
about getting him a lawyer and SO
forth. and two days later she called at
the iail. She was a rather quiet look
ing woman of about 25, spoke in
choked voice and wore a VEIL and
WlUuOuI QutSblOIlu6 ACi AhoNh 49,
her to Samples cell and left them
alone. 1t so happened that had to go
into court directly after, and | left It
to the turnkey to let her out. He did
so, and it was three hours later when
made the discovery that the two had
exchanged clothes and the woman
had been left behind. The turnkey
hadn't noticed anything out of the
way as the woman" passed out.
l didn't faint away or haye fit or
commit suicide. I simply rendered my
resignation and went off on a vacation.
I knew my public, and knew that, al
though l had RECOVERED the horses and
broken up the gang of thieves, that
sister" business had, taken me out of
politics forever. She gpt ninety days
in jail as punishment, 7 believe, but
Samples got clear off and no doubt
worked his little game to advantage in
other localities.

AT certain point all trace had been
lost. Ten miles to the south of us
was big huckleberry swamp of 1000
acres. 1t was state land and had only
been explored by hunters. (, 1t was a
big tangle, full of snakes and wild
cats, and berry pickers took good care
not to penetrate too far. 1t flashed
over me that the stolen horses instead
of being run out OF the State had been
corralled in this swamp to wait until
the hue and cry was over Within two
hours | had started for the swamp, &C.
companied by constable. By pure
good luck after tramp of half day
we came upon trail showing the hoof-
prints Of horses, and following it to the
very center Of the swamp we came up
on the whole IL stolen animals. Feed
had been brought into them by another
trail.
1t was fine plant we uncovered.
There were two men to take care of the
horses. One of them was blacksmith,
and he had forge and dozens of horse
SHOES. AS the animals were run out
the plan was to shoe each one with the
shoes reversed and thus deceive us in
case we struck trail We made
cautious approach, but in spite of us the
two men got away. We scarcely re-

i was serving my nrst and only term
81 sheriff In an Indiana county when q
smart looking, middle aged man, who
rave the name OF Samples, arrived at
tic county seat and gave out that he
VAS looking around for a site for a
large factory. He was provided with
letters OF Recommendation, had the air
~ j man of business and soon had the
town bankers in the town and other
business men interested in his project.
His factory was sto make new kind
OF cloth outsof. what he called Persian
hemp" He had samples of the cloth
to show, and it could be made and
sold at 400 per cent profit. Samples
himself would put 100000 into the en-
terprise, but he wanted the town to
subscribe 100000 additional, so as to
make it a home affair. That was a
pretty large sum to raise in a town Of
5000 people, and after the first half Of
1t had been subscribed the thing be-
gan to drag. Samples was coming and
going, but making our town his head
quarters, and-it was remembered after
ward that several tough looking men
came to see him.
On the second night of Samples ar
rival in our town a fine horse was
stolen from citizen. During his first
weeks stay there were more run off.
In three weeks time IL of the best
horsessin our township were taken. AS
sheriff / was not idle for an hour after
the first horse was taken. Even If /
was little green myself as an officer
4 had two or three constables and dep
uties who were old hands at the bust
ness. Some of the horses we traced
for few miles, always headed for the
Ohio river, but the thieves were slick
fellows and covered their tracks SO
well that not a horse was recovered.
NY position was an uncomfortable one,
as you may guess. got redhot criti-
cism from all sides, and even though |
offered large rewards out my own
pocket and went to the expense OF
employing a detective for three weeks,
a share of the public still insisted that

taken had gone south by certain road.
