London, Sept. 4. Tho English special

unuuimously alarmist and pessimistic in
their despatches published this morn

havo boon forced to quit thoir posts In
order to ssek safety from arrost. The
journalistic leaders of Uitlander opin
ion are ovidently greatly excited, but
as tho standard says. In the stream of rumors
pouring over the cables It Is hard to distin
guish truth from alarmist exaggeration. It
adds that one thing Is clear, and that Is that
the strain Is Bearing the breaking point. It
really looks as if tho Transvaal was deliber
ately increasing the tension.
ill Is noticeable that the correspondent of the
solitary leading morning paper that Is anxious

IUceensace, N. J., Sept. 3. Mr. nnd Mrs.
John Saundors went to tho Erio station In
Jorsey City yesterday to moot thoir two chil
dren, Frank, aged 14. nnd Florence 11 years
old. who wore expected from Susquehanna,
Pa., on the Buffalo express. When the train
arrived tho parents were told by Con
ductor Welsh that their children had been
put off at Hancock, forty miles east
of Susquehanna, because thoir tiokets
were wrong and they had no money to pay
their way. Mr. and Mrs. Saunders were
greatly exalted, but had no immediate redress
except denunciation of tho conductor. Their
anxiety was somowhat allayed by receiving a
telegram from Trank that he and his sister
would not be homo last night. This was ao
oouted as an Indication that tho boy had sufll
oiont self-reliance to cars for himself and his
sister.
Mr. Saunders said to-day that the conductor
had given tho boy and girl a note to westbound
conductors to carry them backtoSusquohauna.
Tho conductor's Jusrttlcatlon was that he
was carrying out orders. Tho Erio Company
requires that excursion tickets must bu used
first from the station where they are bought
to the destination. In this caso relatives in
Susquehanna sent excursion tickets in order
to Induce the children to spend a fow weeks
with thorn. They vims used the return coupon
to Susquehanna first. Mr. 6auaders says that
because tho other half read "Not good If de
tached" Conductor Welsh would not accept it,
and rrat the children off niter carrying them
forty miles. He declares that he will employ
counsel and bring an action against tho Erie
Company for damages. He tolegraphod to
friends to have the children sent home as soon
as possible.

Chinatown was turnod upside down last
night by n riot which aroso because the
Oriental Benevolent Bocloty nnd the Chu
Chung Society could not agree about the prlcos
to bo charged for laundry work. Before the
disturbance was quelled Dotoctlve MoClusky

street was shot In the abdomen and fatally
Injured by Cnlng Ham of 10 Pell stroet:
and Quong Low of Brooklyn vas shot In the
right nnklo by another Chinaman, whose Iden
tity tho police had not discovered at midnight.
Many more of the Chinamen in the mob were
swatted on tho head by blackjacks carried by
their countrymen, and for fifteen minutes all
Chinatown was In a state of shrieking com
motion. Tho storm broko about 0 o'clock. All day
long slant-eyed laundrymen had boon coming
to Chinatown from all over New York and the
llttlooltles around to moot their fellow-countrymen,
buy provisions and tsste the joys of
dresm smoke. Every man of them belonged
to ono or otherof tho many clans or societies
into which Chinatown is divided. In the dingy
tenements and in groups on the narrow
streets they discussed the news and their
interests, tho ohleftonio being the war going
on between the two great washing combina
tions, formed when tho German laundrys be
gan to cut ratesa ycaragonndspllttheChinese
trade organization Into two parties, one of
which wanted to meet tho cut and the other
didn't.
About the middle of the afternoon thegroups
In the stroet crow large and agitated. There
was much gesticulation and mossongers
hurried back and forth with such plain anxiety
that tho detectives guarding the locality
against disturbance began to nsk questions,
to which they obtained no satisfactory replies.
At 0 o'clock thoro was u loud squall from the
corner of Poll and Doyers streets, whoro was
ono of tho Inrgost of tho street gatherings. A
Chlnamnn hail been knocked down with a
blackjack from behind. In nn Instant there
was a light In progress from ono end of Poll
streot, the prlnelpal avenue, to tho other.
Shrieks nnd howls wore heard in nil direc
tions, as Celestial after Celestial felt the dendly
blackjack wielded by the desperate Chinese of
whom New Y'ork has a good many, and the
weaker Chinamen got the worst of It,
Dotectlves MeClnsky, Flnley and Drennan
and Polieoman Menshlng were scattered
along the two blooks' length of Pell streot,
and for ten minutes they had the surprise of
thoir lives la finding themselves a very small
minority of very little consequence In China
town. At tho end of that time news of tho riot
hnd reached the pollcemon on nelghboilng
beats and more than twenty bluecoats appeared
to reinforce their biothren and wielded their
clubs with a will.
The non-combatnnts fled to ths sheltor of the
buildings and the windows were full
of heads. Then there was heard ths
report of a heavy revolver and moat
of the windows wore shut with a bang. Another
shot followed tho first and rtiero was a wild
rush away from tho front of 22 Poll street.
Detectives Flnley and Drennan jumped that
way from opposite directions and found a
Chinaman lying on the asphalt writhing in
agony. Another Chinaman, with a revolver In
his hand, sprang Into tho house as the dotoc
tlvos nppeared. nnd they followed. As they
appeared In tho doorway tho fugltlvo turned
and fired point blank at ths two. Bsfore he
could shoot nzaln both detectives landed on
htm. disarmed him -and shook him Into a
cringing and very badly scaled Chinaman.
Ths man was Charlie Lee, and the prisoner
Chlng Sam, of HI Pell streot. Lee had a big
bullet holo in his abdomen. Ashe lay on the
sidewalk he Idontlfled Sam as his assailant.
Thon the wounded man was taken to Hudson
street hospital to dlo.
Meantime Detective MoClusky was laying
about him in front of 10 Pell street, and was
having hard work of It, Ho was beginning to
get the uppor hand when a Chinaman ap
peared In tho doorway of 11 Pell street
with a pistol and began to shoot. He was
Chin On, When tho clubbing began he had
jumped Into his loom for his revolver and was
now coming out to try It. Two shots went
wild. Then MoClusky got so close that ha
couldn't be missed. The third shot hit blm
full In tho hip. and ha fell forward, dragging
the Chinaman to the sidewalk with him. There
the two were found two or three minutes later
by tho policemen who clubbed their way
through the streets. Quong Low was ssen sit
ting on a stop two doors away, holding his
ankle nnd very sick because another bullet
from soman here had broken It.
McClusky was taken home In a cab after Dr.
McWhortorof tho Hudson Streot Hospital had
dressed his wound, and Quong Low and
Charlie Lee were taken to the hosjiltal in an
ambulance. While their Injuries were being
attended to ths other policemen gathered up
twenty-one Chinamen besides the wounded
men and took them to the Elizabeth street sta
tion. There four of tho twenty-one wcro
locked up, becauso they had blackjacks In their
possession. Clang Bam and ChLn Tu wore
placed in colls, eharged with felonious assault.
As Charlie Lee, it Is said, sannot recover the
charge against Bam is likely to be murder
later.
There were ssveral parties of visitors "seeing
Chinatown" when the riot oconrred. Some of
them weri In the Chinese restaurant, some in
the streets, and they had as lively a fifteen
minutes as ths wildest Imagination had pic
turod for the trip

Brnzen Ue About n Tonng Millionaire
Marrying a Chorus Olrl In Mid-0ran.
A man named McCormlok, an employee of
the New York Theatre, circulated a report
yesterday that Lulu Bheppard. a chorus girl
who had been engaged there, had married a
young New York millionaire In mid ocean on
the steamship Bt. laul. The girl. It seems,
did sail for England on the St. Paul on Wednes
day, Aug. 10. That Is about the only true thing
in McCormlck's story. She is an English girl aud
went home on a vacation. A number of women
In ths ohorus with her at the New York thsatie
went to tho pier to sse her off. and oneof them,
for a joke, announcod on Batutdaythntshehad
received a letter from Miss Bheppard announc
ing that she had married the young New
Yorker during the passage over, tho Captain of
the Bt. Paul performing the ceremony.
This suggested to tho Dress agent an oppor
tunity for free advertising for his theatre. A
"tip" was sent to the newspaperofflces yester
day afternoon, and when reporters went to the
New Y'ork Theatro McCormlck told n long and
olreumstantlnl stary of the courtship and
marriage of tho ohorus girl and the rich young
New Y'orker. The latter's name was given
to the reporters. It Is a good one
on whleh to hang a theatrical press
agent's fake. He is a member of
ose of the best known families in the city. The
enormous value of the diamonds the young
man bad given tho girl whllo shs was at the
theatre was emphasized. Evon the name of the
joweller was given.
Five minutes' Investigation showed that tho
story was utterly false. The young man
reforred to Is In New Y'ork. and not In Eng
land. A disagreeable feature of ths
whole mattor Is the annoyanoe caused to mem
bers of the young man's family who were
called upon te cnntradlot the scandalous ro
mance with which his name hud been S3
unwarrantably eonneoted.

boihood to ascertain if it was true that
Smith wanted a fight. Ho stood at
an upper window In tho house and
declared that ho had laid In a big Block of pro
visions and ammunition. He advised that the
posse that might aome to nrrest him should
bring a few cofllns with them. He took a few
shots at tho men just to show them, he said,
how cloio he could come to them without
killing them. Deputy Sheriff Lewis was
noted as ono of the best shots In the
county and was famed for his courngo.
He took tho warrant and said ho would go out
and serve It He wus warnod not to
mako tho attempt, but he laughed
and rode away. Two hours lator
he stoppod In front of tho house
of Smith, A short conversation ensued, dur
ing which Smith told Lewis to go home and
make his will and then try to arrest him. This
so enragod Lewis that he II red at tho
window. Smith leveled his rifle, there was a
sharp report und Lewis foil from his horse
dead.
This Is the third killing that has taken placo

profess confidence of victory for their opposing
contentions, but tliero aro signs that these
hopes aro not slinrcd by their followers. Thoro
Is, in fact, great anxiety in tho Inner councils
of both tho prosecution and tho dofence.
The Droyfusltes estimate that two members
of the court-martial are In their favor and two
against them, hut they do not profess to have
any means oT judging tho opinions of the re
maining three, They interpret the recent
questions of two of the judges to mean that
thoynronnt searching for fresh evldenoe, but
are soeking to justify tho decision which they
have already reached.
Borne persoas attempt to find significance In
yesterday's ruling on tho question of a secret
session to-morrow, which was announced by a
majority vote. This Is hardly justified, because
tho original order for closed doors during the
eT.ninlnntlnn of tin secret dossier before any
evidence was taken was mnde by n mnjorltr of
tho court. This shows that one or more of the
I judges are opposed to secret sessions under
anyclreumstancus. but it has no further sig
nificance. Tho most stringent precautions are being
taken for tho last days of tho trial. All per
sons entering the public section of thn court

seaiohed beforo being admitted. From now

It Is announced that Du Paty do Clam's

ferred that ho merely confirms that In his
deposition. Nothing, however, is definitely
known on this point.
Ths latestcanard intended to prejudice tho

CtNciNxm, Sept. 3. James Boylo, United
States Consul to Liverpool, Is at his old home
for a visit. In talking of the suggestoJ British-
Amerlcsn alliance, he said:
"No responsible persons In England
or America are thinking of an Anglo
SaTon alliance. Thore Is simply a
feeling that the United States nnd her
best oustomer, Fnrjlund, should bo on
friendly terms. There lias been In recent
years in nil Euro;e a feeling that friendship
with tho United States should be cultivated.
This sentiment has been mure marked
In England than on tho Continent. In
England American travellers may see many
American II. i its llyttig. The English people
run up the Stars and Strlps on the slightest
provocation but there will be noalliance. That
is simply somsbody's straw man.
"Amerlsuns should not format, though, thst
50 pur cent of the exports of the United
States go to (neat Britain nnd tKJ pur cent,
go to the British fcmpiro."
