CHINESE ORGANIZE
To FIGHT EXCLUSION

New York, June 1.-THE Tribune
says:
The Chinese in the United States are
preparing for an organized fight to OBJ
tain the abOslute repeal of the Geary
exclusion act mt the coming session of
Congress. The movement was started
here this week, and it is expected to
spread rapidly to Philadelphia. Chi
cagO, Portland. Seattle, San Francisco
and other cities having large Chinese
populations.
A powerful organization has been ef-
fected among the Chinese merchants
of this city. Within the next two
weeks every one of the $4,000 Chinese
here will be asked to sign n carefully
prepared memorial to the United
States goverISnent asking that the eX-
clusion act be repealed. The memorial
will protest in the strongest possible
terms against having the act extended
for twenty years from the date of its
expiration in 1902. 1t will be forward
ed to the government along with n
similar memorial prepared in other
cities, through WI Ting Fang, Chi
nese minister Mt Washington.
An effort will also be made to OBJ
tain the support of thousands of Amer
leans whom the Chinese believe are op-
posed to the exclusion act. The Chi
nese realize the handicap which is
placed on the movement through their
lack of suffrage.
Their strongest hope of eventual sue
cess lies in WI Ting Fang's influence.
They say that it was on his advice
that they organized for the struggle.
They depend largely on his personal
popularity to get them fighting sup
porters in the Senate and House.
Tho Tnnnnrip1 IN,

clusicn act on the grounds of fair play
and as n sort of reciprocity for the

benefits which America would derive
from granting free communication
with the Chinese will be point

Hague Arbitration Cnurt.

Berlin. June 15.-F. w. Hollis, United
States member of The Hague nrbitra-
tion court. during an interview said
that The Hague Arbitration Court had
only just been organized by the ap-
pOintment of the last of the fifty-five
judges, but several international gues-
tions are already before the court. The
Transvnnl question WIS certainly not
one of these. because The Hague peace
conference had decided that the Boer
states We're not sovereign states.
The court will not be in permanent
session. but will only act when suit
able questions are presented to 1t, when
the whole court will select a bench to
adjudicate each question.
Mr.. Hollis said both Count Won Bue-
low and Baron Won Richthofen. foreign
minister has received him in the most
kindly manner. sharing his belief that
The Ha@ue court was. like the Magma

Fort Morgan, Colo. June 14.-tDen-
yer Republican Special)-When Sheriff
Calvert went over to the Jail n little af-
ter nine o'clock last night he observed
that one or more of the prisoners had
in some way broken out of the cells.
He summoned S. A. Russell, George
York and Charles Baker, well known
citizens, to his assistance. The four
men were armed with heavy sticks.
Sheriff Calvert started into the Jail
ahead of the others. On opening the
Jail door Simmington met him with
revolver. The sheriff struck SHINING:
ton with his club and knocked him
against a desk near by. Russell ran
up and Simmington fired at the sheriff,
but Russell knocked the gun up and
the bullet buried itself in the ceiling.
Sheriff Calvert knocked Simmington
iown with his club, but before he
could disarm the prisoner Simmington
shot him in the right lower jaw,
jumped up and escaped from the
building. As Simmington ran out he
shot at Russell, the ball grazing Rus
sells face. He also shot ut Baker,
who was outside the door. the bullet
passing through Bakers vest and cut
ting of one of the suspenders.
While the sheriff was struggling with
Simmington, Smith, who also had
gun, was driven back into the cell by
Russell, who took the sheriff's gun
after he fell. Hill, the third prisoner,
was not armed.
These are the same men who were
reported in the Republican as having
escaped from McComb, Illinois. Harry
Simmington, who escaped. is about six
feet three inches tall and weighs $50

is twenty-one years old, and haks a sui

trousers without pockets in front. He
has an anchor in India ink on his right
forearm. Dark coat and vest and stiff
black hat. Marshal Burdette and I'm
der Sheriff Anderson are now out in
charge of posses after him.
The three prisoners mentioned robbed
three stores here last week, for which
they were arrested. The booty, con-
slsting of revolvcrs and other valua-
ables was recovered by the officers. 1t
was part of this loot that had been
taken from the cache of the burglars
and was in the office OF the jail that
the prisoners secured. The cell room
is back of the office. The men must
have picked the locks of their cells,
which let them out into the main room.
Then they picked the lock of another
door leading into the office.
All three of the men are desperate
characters and escaped from the Ma.
comb, Illinois, Jail, and $500 reward
has been offered for Simmington's ar.
rest. Hill, who when first arrested
gave his name as Stacy and claimed to
be a detective, asserts he was trying
to get word to the officers that his COM
panions were attempting to escape. lie
was lighting matches in his room to at
tract attention. He is the man who
turned states evidence on his two COM
panions and they have dislike for
him. Hill had not got out of his cell
when the shooting occurred. The Off
GERS believe that he would have es-
capped IL he had had a chance.

Before the Industrial commission,
Thomas Turnbull. representing the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
testified concerning labor conditions
in California. He said that. generally
speaking. skilled labor receives better
wages in California than in the east
prn states where there Is no similar
difference in the wages of unskllleu
labor. He expressed the opinion that
the cheapness of Chinese labor Is due
almost entirely to the inetiicicncy of
the Chinese entirely as laborers.
Speaking of the Chinese. he said the
sentiment in California was generally
favorable 10 their prescription. as they
were not desirable acquisitions from
nny point of view.
A few days since Lone Wolf and

senting the kiowa. Camanche and

of them declared that the agreement

been secured by legitimate methods.
Judge Springer presented the COM
complains Of the Indians in detail.
Secretary Hitchcock told the Indians
that he had received them only as n
matter Of courtesy. and that under no
circumstances could he consider their
presentation while their case was

G. A. r. MEMORIAL FAIR
HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL

Denver, June 14.-It was after mid
night when the last prize was awarded
at the G. A. K. fair last night, and al
though the large prizes had been
awarded some time before the crowd
held on to the other end.
The capital prize, the house and lot
in Colorado Springs, donated by w. S.
Stratton. excited the greatest amount
of interest, and when the announce
ment that L. A. Miller. of No. 1920 La
fayette street was the holder Of the
winning coupon the cheering was gen.
eral. .-fH -
The drawing was done by Miss Ed
ma Collins and Miss Dora Schick, un-
der the direction of Wolfe Londoner
and two other gentlemen of the COM
mittee. Two large churns were used
to hold the tickets. One contained the
cards on which We're written the
names of the prizes. On the other
side was the churn which contained
the coupons with the name and ad-
dress of the holder. AS a coupon was
drawn from the churn n drawing was
made from the list of prizes and that
prize wps credited 10 the coupon.
Some of the larger prizes were
awarded to the following: A stallion.
valued at $500 and presented by f. A.
Keener, drawn by A. Thayer of Val
verde: grand piano, donated by Bush
& Gerts, drawn by ]. Hunt. No. 4O11

The success of the fair. from which

and $4,000 is due largely to the eff
forts of Colonel Lew Ginger. who has
labored early and late. Colonel Gin
ger advanced the somewhat novel idea
that people should not be burdened
by pleas and solicitors after paying
for their tickets. The money secured
by the fair will form the nucleus of
a fund for building the projected army
and navy hall.
