San Francisco. Dec. 2.-Willialn J..
Buggy, for more than a year chief Of
police of this city, was drowned in the
bay last night and his body has not
been recovered.
Since the suicide OF Morris Haas.
lie assailant Of Assistant District At.
torney F. j. Heney. there has been
lard feeling between the chief of po-
lice and the graft prosecution. Out of
his have grown many charges and
showing the attitude Of
the anti-gruft faction towards Biggy,
and charges of incompetency and fail.
ure to properly guard his prisoner
We're pending against the chief be.
cause of the fact that Haas had pis.
lol with which he killed himself in
prison. Buggy replied with similar
charges against Captain Of Police
Duke, who, with Detective Burns,
searched Haas in the courtroom, and
Detective Sergeant Thomas Burke,
who was in charge of the prisoner at
the jail; but none of the charges has
yet been investigated.

High Praise for Lauder.

She was hish-browed and soulful.
given to the lbsen cult and grand % l.
era In It's grandest manifestations.
hence 1t was with considerable mis-.
giving that the young man took her
to see Harry Lauder.
He is the greatest singer Of HE
kind in the world" the youth had 'ex-
planned volubly. Competent critics
have said that only once in q decade
does such singer appear" etc, .eto.
And she had graciously consented to
look Harry over.
After the Scotchman's first song the
young man glanced apprehensively at
the young lady.
Her eyes were 11alf-closed; she was
apparently In the seventh heaven Of
enjoyment. g.. -
"This," she said solemnly, lis art!"
Thenceforth that young man ceased
worrying and devoted himself to thor.
ough enjoyment OF the show.

japanese Story TeI,ers.

Though the Japanese are nation
of readers" says a traveller. ".they
love. also, to listen to the tales of
the professional story-teller. who is
quite an artist in his way. The. lower
sort of story-teller may be seen, seat
ed at the street corner with circle of
gaping coolies around him. The high
er class form guilds, who own special
houses of entertainment, called tyose.'
and may also be engaged by the hour
to amuse private parties. Some st6ry.
telling is rather in the nature Of a
fivecent magazine. The man sits with
an open book before him and ,ex-
pounds it, and dilates upon it-the
story of the 'Forty-seven Ronin.' per-
haps, or the Chinese novel of the
Three Kingdoms or an account Of
the Satsuma rebellion, or one of the
old wars of the Tara and Minampto
families in the middle ages. When he
comes to some particularly good point
he emphasizes it by rap with his
fan or with little slab of wood ke->
by him for that purpose" -...
