TO ORGANIZE THE STATE.The CivicFederation WillOpen

Headquarters in Every *

County.

An Effort to Be Made to CainControl of the Next

Legislature.

The Civic Federation has decided to ex-tend its influence in the political arena ofCalifornia. The '. society will organize inevery section of the State.

This plan of action was determined uponafter the executive

'committee of the so-

ciety had investigated the feasibility oftheundertaking." The officers of the societysay \u25a0' they, have fully realized that to be-come a potential factor in politics theymust have the political *;support of thecountry voters behind them.. Secret conference meetings of the federa-tion are held daily. The subject lof ex-tended organization has received the thor-ough consideration of this committee.Before the next campaign the Civic Feder-ation expects to have headquarters inevery county and representatives ineverypolitical precinct ofthe State.

'

The campaign will be carried onin be-half of political reform. The farmers willbe urged to vote for the federation'scandidates.'. George T. Gaden is one of the leaders inthe new movement. He has realized thatifthe organization is 3 going to accomplishanything inbreaking up the corrupt politi-cal rings ofthis City, the federation musthave a sufficient number of representativesin the Legislature. '.'"

When Mr. Gaden was spoken to uponthe question 'of the society extending itsfield, of action he admitted that such acourse :had been decided upon ;and thatthere was a committee drawing up new by-laws for the society. "

\u25a0 "Ihave," said Mr.Gaden, '"come to the

conclusion that this will be the only basisto tight municipal corruption and to securefor the Mayor of the City of San Franciscocomplete control of all the City depart-

ments. The federation will make anotherfight for the new charter before the Legis-lature wnich willbe elected next year."

The society's work is hindered to a greatextent by the absence of IrwinJ. Truman,the president. 7 He is an accepted juror inthe Durrant case. Representatives of thefederation have made repeated trips to thecountry. They have come back withfavorable reports, in all instances. Thefarmers, these representatives state, areready to assist the movement.

W. D. Case Jr., the secretary of thefederation, has visited several of the smalltowns inbehalf of the society. He wouldnot talk upon the subject. Mr.Case wouldbut confirm the statement that the societyhad finallydecided toorganize forpoliticalreform over all the State. Itis not theintention of the federation members toput up candidates for election, at present.This action will depend largely on theirsuccess at the coming election.

AT METER BATES.The City of Alameda inDifficulty Over

Electric-Light Charges. .Additional trouble with the municipal

electric-light plant is being experienced inAlameda on account of difficulty in regu-lating the charges. No adequate record ofthe past five or six months, covering theentire period of the enterprise, hasheenkept, and the time of the beginning of ac-counts has necessarily been left mainly tothe statements of the patrons.

J. J. Balentine, who has been adjustingthe affairs in connection with the plant,says that many of the patrons insist onhaving meters, and the providing of thesewillprove an important additional ex-pense. The meters cost $12 each, and someof the patrons ,have demonstrated thattheir meter rates would notexceed 35 centsa month.* Itis believed, nevertheless, thatwhen placed ;on j a '\u25a0;satisfactory ;businessbasis the plant willprove a paying ventureand the city willhave an excellent illumi-nation system. -7 .j\u25a0'\u25a0_'\u25a0':,'\u25a0.'\u25a0''

THE CONSULATE GUARDEDSee Yups Are Now Quiet, but

an Outbreak Is HourlyExpected.

TEN CHINESE NOW INCUSTODY.

Consul-General Ll and PresidentLee of the Sam Yups Are

\u25a0..'.-/* in Danger.*

\u25a0

The Chinese fight is still in progress inChinatown. It is not a highbinder war, be-

cause the highbinders have nothing what-ever to do withit. There is not even a sem-blance of the well-known fueds in thepresent instance, but the law of an eve foran eye and a tooth for a tooth is beingenforced. Itis a question of clan againstclan, which the police consider all themore perilous.

Nearly all the Chinese in California areCantonese. The Sam Yups are financiallythe most powerful company, but the SeeYups have the numbers. The latter arecomposed of the Ning Yuens from the SunNing district, the Kwong Chows from theSun Wai district, the Hop Wos from theHoy Peng district and the Shuey Hingsfrom Yen Peng district. The two latterwere formerly one company, but recentlythey have split and formed two societies.

Besides these there are two other societiesin one combination called the Young Wo |and Yen Wo.*" These are in no way jidentified with the fight,so that inreality :itis a war to the death between the SamYups and the See Yups.

The peculiar part of the whole matter isthat neither Mook Tai, the man accused ofmurder, and Chong Wai, who was shot,are of any consequence. The formerwas a servant fora family in the Mission,while the latter was a cook. The clanstook it up, however, the Consul-Generalwas drawn into it,household was arrayedagainst household and all Chinatownsettled into a state of armed neutrality.

The fight broke out last Wednesdaynight, but Sergeant Shea and his posseaided by the re-enforcement sent down byChief Crowley has been able to keep themob incontrol.

Chief Crowley detailed extra men toserve in Chinatown, and when they ar-rived Sergeant Shea placed a man oneverystreet corner.

The arrest of the ten members of the LeeYups depressed that delightful societyand when the police fixed the bail at $50 in

each case they were still more surprised.To give bail in one case was easy enough,

but wnen it came to ten and perhapstwenty and no Sam Yup merchants tooffer assistance itbecame a different ques-tion, so the following notice was posted allover Chinatown :

Make no more disturbances. The case

of Mock Tai has :been postponed. Do

not deal with the Sara Yups, but getyour goods elsewhere. Boycott . them.

That Is the better way. Ten of our menwere arrested this afternoon and we do

not want that to happen again. We want

you to keep quiet and we willwinin the

end. Keep quiet and do not strike until

ordered.Needless to say there were no more ar-

rests.Chinatown was almost deserted last

evening. The theaters were very slimlyattended and few Chinese loitered on theStreets. The guides and special policemenwere on the alert, and no two of them everleft their districts at the same time. ChiefCrowley had a number of extra men inthree of the alleys and a "special" whoknows every highbinder in Chinatownkept watch and ward over the consulate. ".

Should itever come to open warfare thelives of Consul-General LiYuen Yeu andthe president of the Sam Yups, Lee LiChuen, will be in danger, as they areblamed for the whole trouble. The pre-liminary trial of Mock Tai will bring thematter to a head. |g_SH(_>^

\u25a0 "Ifthis trouble is not settled, and thatspeedily, some of the best blood inChina-town willbe shed," said Lyman J. Mowryin talking about the matter. t "This is nota highbinder warfare, but a case of tongagainst tong, and the feeling is bitter.

-For

the first time in the history of Chinatown

the Consul has been insulted. Eggs havebeen thrown at him, and his escort peltedwithgarbage. Nothing but blood can wineout the insult, and sooner or later theblood willflow.

"In1878 there was almost a similar war-fare. The merchants and the working peo-ple were opposed to each other. As a re-sult thirty men were murdered before atruce was called. More fighting and mur-dering is now at hand.". The case of Mook Tai, charged with themurder ofChong Wai at Washington andStockton \u25a0 streets, a few weeks ago, wascalled in Judge Conlan's court yesterdaymorning. When the court opened about200 Chinese were waiting in the corri-dor and streamed into the courtroom.Judge Conlan looked surprised, at the in-flux Chinese, and asked Attorney Rior-dan, who is special prosecutor, what wasthe matter. The attorney replied that theChinese were evidently friends of theprisoner and there might be trouble.

The Judge immediately ordered BailiffKelly and Policeman Bean to clear thecourtroom of the Chinese, which waspromptly done. The Chinese stood in the

corridor and talked excitedly among them-selves. .

Attorney Riordan said that under thecircumstances he would suggest that thehearing of the case should" be postponedtillMonday, as inview of the excitementinChinatown and the presence in the cor-ridor of so many Chinese itwould not besafe to proceed. S_^_f

The Judge acted upon the suggestion ofAttorney Riordan and continued the casetillMonday.

HIGHBINDERS IN ANTICIPATION.

WHERE THE MEMBERS OF THE SEE TUP WERE ARRESTED.

FOR MORE IMPROVEMENTThe Merchants' Association

Discusses Several Bene-ficialMeasures.

A Proposition to Remove All Signs

and Obstructions From theStreets.

Every member of the board of directorsof the Merchants' Association was present

at the semi-monthly meeting yesterday.A report was made that two of the street-sweepers had been knocked down andinjured, one bya butcher's cart and theother by a Geary-street cable car. Messrs.Freud, Osborne, Doane and Fusenot wereappointed to see that the injured employeswere properly taken care for, and that theywere compensated for their injuries if thedriver and gripman were to blame for theaccidents.

Edward S. Spear &Co. of 31 Sutter street,and Benjamin Cohen of 435 Montgomerystreet, became members of the association.

Consulting Engineer Ernest McCulloughwas authorized to contract such bills aswere necessary to cover the expenses ofa paving exposition at tbe Mechanics'Institute Fair.

The committee on trade and financeswas instructed to obtain suggestions fromthe members of the association upon suchmatters as they are interested in person-ally.

The committee on public affairs was in-structed to endeavOr to have the Super-visors straighten out the tangle regardingthe July, sweeping bill of $8000.

Notice was given that at the next meet-ing the subject of removing all sign boardson and projecting over the sidewalks willbe discussed. Aplan suggested is that themerchants will. call upon all owners ofsuch obstructions and have them removetheir signs. The association -proposes togradually cause the removal of allobstruc-tions, in the streets, telephone and tele-graph wires included.

WILL NOT PAY LICENSES.Bicycle -Dealers Organize to

Fight the Quarterly Taxof $15.

A TEST OF THE ORDINANCE.

The Association Will Also TraceStolen Bicycles and Prose-

cute Thieves.

The owners of cycleries in this Cityhavedetermined to resist the payment of thequarterly license

-fee ;of $15 which was

recently imposed the License Commit-tee of the Board of Supervisors, and , theyhave formed an organization to fight thematter in the courts.

Yesterday morning about eighty of thesmall bicycle-dealers and representativesof all the wholesale houses dealing in"wheels" met at a bicycle-shop at GoldenGate avenue and Leavenworth street andeffected a permanent organization, ofwhich Samuel Backus was elected presi-dent and A. Lobe secretary. ;

The new organization' is called the SanFrancisco Bicycle-dealers' Protective Asso-ciation. Its primary object is to raise afund to be used for defense in case anyarrests of dealers are made for refusing topay the license. There will be no lack ofmoney, either, for one wholesale housesubscribed $1000, "and it is said that $10,000or $15,000 can be raised at short noticeshould so much be necessary.

"The fact of the matter is," said H. P.Wynne, who conducts a small bicycle-store, "that there is a distinct prejudice incertain quarters against the man whorides a wheel.

"Itis not that we object to paying alicense on our business, but we object topaying one anywhere near as large as $15.Iknow men in this City who receive $50 to$150 a day whose license is not nearly solarge, and" it is not just that a man whotakes in from $4 to $10 a day from therental of wheels should be forced to paysuch a tax, especially when the great wearand tear on his stock is considered.

"Another thing, the rate of $15 is set asa minimum and if we do not fight that itwill jump to $30 or more very soon. Thethine is unjust and should be stopped nowas well as any time. ,/.

"In attempting to collect this licenseMr.Lees has got himself verymuch dis-liked.

•'We went before the License Committeeto get the license reduced, and there -metwith the prejudice against wheelmenwhich 1 spoke' of. Supervisor King wasvery impatient. He wanted to know ifit was not owing to the wheels that theMarket-street Railroad had been forced to

take offso many of its cars recently. Thatsounded sort of queer, didn't it? Then hewanted to know 'who these wheelmen are,any way.' General Backus replied thattbey were taxpayers, and that every one ofthem had a vote. That shut Kingup inahurry, and for the rest of the time we werethere he had not a word to say."

The protective feature of the new organi-zation is to be directed against bicyclethieves. When a wheel is stolen a traceror association detective will look itup andthe organization willprosecute the guiltyparty. Individual riders may join the as-sociation and share its protective benefitsby the payment of $1 yearly. '•

HIS SKULL FRACTURED.Edward Falkner Sandbagged and

Robbed. "While Asleep in the'

Southern Pacific Yards.

While asleep in the yards of the South-ern Pacific Railroad Company at Fourthand Kentucky streets yesterday morningEdward Falkner was struck on the headwith a coupling-pin and 60 cents and aknife were taken from his pockets.

He was taken to the Receiving Hospitalin the ambulance in an unconscious con-dition. Dr. Weil found that he was suf-fering from a fracture at the base of theskull which might prove fatal. WhenFalkner regained consciousness he said hecame from Tennessee a short time ago insearch of work.

'\u25a0'•

Hose company 1 has been attached to

the fireboat, and as the instructions of theHarbor Commissioners make their ser-vices unnecessary the Fire Commissionersat their meeting' yesterday afternoon or-ganized the hose "company into enginecompany 30, to be stationed at AshburyHeights, it"willbe of much greaterservice for the protection of property ofcitizens. M.J. Roderiques was appointedengineer of the company, Thomas Brownand Thomas Jones extramen, and all theoldmembers of the hose company, nine innumber, have been transferred to the newengine company. >.'.'"
