TOM WATCHERS IIANY AMD ALERT Thick as FIIt in- Chinatown 6tret and Thera'a No Telling About Them. SHADOWS ON DETECTIVES Vice Censul Leo Say Tengt Are Purely American In Orlflln and War Started with Good Intent. It was the day after the bomb explosion followed by a shoo line In the Tons war in Chinatown that a reporter for Ths Times was compelled to pass tbrourh Unit a rut Streeta seekin Tom Lee. the Mayor. or some other unprejudiced Chinamen with a liberal English education, to get Information not related to the Ton the war at alL The offloe man for Neughton.

the undertaker, who baa been In Mott Street with bis undertaking establishment and livery business as long as anybody cares to was sitting in a chair at the curb outside of bis door. The visitor topped to ask him the whereabouts of iora Lee or some other good Chinaman who was not afraid to talk to "a while devil." Possibly two minutes elapsed before very young Chinaman, a rather good-looking one. tall and of athletic appearance, stopped not one foot away, with do expression on his face, and looked up Pell Street, which Intersects right there. He was altogether too close to be minding bis own business, and yet It easily might be Inferred that he simply didn't know any better than plant himself before two strange men engaged In private conversation. His assurance, or his Ignorance, or Innocence, whatever It might -be called, amazing.

He heard, a few words that were passed, enough to know what (he conversation was about i If he were Inter- eated In It. and then moved off lazily, as i thT ums "4 done notice that fellow?" asked Kaughton's He's the eighth that ha a been alone here while we've been tallrlng. They want to find out what we're Yatking abouC Do you see that fellow back of me against the lamp post? He's 7 another watcher. The street is full of them to-day." "Is this a very unusual day? Oh. not ao unusual, but out of the ordinary, as it always Is after an outbreak between the Tonga, but these fel-.

lows are always pretty curious when they notice any one Inquiring around until they learn what It Is about" At this tnomebt two I men were to he seen coming up Pell Street and nearlng Mott. They were together. One wus rather stout, alert In appearance, with a clear cut face and a hawk eye. He wore a gray suit The other was taller, thick and strong, with light hair and skin, and dressed In a blue atu Their walking was businesslike, "Detectives." said the man In the chair. Now.

a curious set of Incidents or coin-' cidences accompanied i them. While they were walking briskly up Pell Street two Chinese, of the laundryman type, were walking quite as briskly directly behind them, but not for long, perhaps, not for more than twenty feet. but. like the one that had stood looking up Pell Street In front of the two men In convereatlon that was none of hia buainesa. they seemed to be following Inexcuasbly close.

and. again, the explanation might be made that these two Chinamen didn't know any better or that the Chinese were peculiar and past understanding. The detectives made no sign of being aware of their presence. The two Chinamen disappeared, through afcdoorway or so roe bare at the turn of an. eye; and in the next Instant two more Chinamen, coming out of nowhere or taking up the march from where they may have been standing, as Chinamen are forever Idling end filling the doors and sidewalks there, got Immediately behind the detectives and turned Into Mott Street with them, naturally and tbouahtlesly.

it would' seem. as if they had no room to pass. Within the space covered by three or four narrow store fronts these two Chinamen turned out. and did tt unmistakably, coins; svll the way to the a-utter to do it, -and then turned In again and hurried along. Still two Chinamen were behind the detective.

There was nothing to be made of It. They might be following or listening, and thoM ahead of them might have been following or end all have been Innocently loafing along, as the Chinese population ever seemi to have" nothing else to do. Aay way, the two detectives had company ail the way down Mott Street to Tom Lee's store, where the one in gray stopped, while the other went along "What do you make out of that?" auKhton's man was asked. Is It possible they're the shadows from headquarters? They're queer fellows." said ha You can't tell what' they're up to, but don't get an Mca that they don't know what's going on." It seemed worth an Inquiry as to what all the vigilance and seal meant. There we oil white denliens of Chinatown who say that beneath the malice the rival nngm oear eacn other is some awe- Inspiring tradition or some religious belief inai mhkes the slaying of an enemy seem sanctified.

Others -xf the district who have long known something of the gun men or tne tongs are of the opinion that buslne. both legitimate and doubtful In character, is beneath all the hatred and mankllllng' that goes on year after year. Others, less informed, will eny that sectional hatred la the driving spirit, but this is st once refuted by questioning any Intelligent Chinaman. He will say. without hesitation, that practically all Cntn' In the United State are from Canton.

The murderers and their victim, then, are not widely separated elements ot a teeming population, spread ovcr thousands of miles ot country wtth 'conflicting Idols and-warring godi. but natives of the name city, talking the same lingo. Vice Consul Loo frankly discussed this subject with a reporter at the Chinese Consulate, la Broadwav. "The tongs," Tne said, "are comparable onlv to the fighting gangs of this city, made up of vicious and more or less criminal ele- ments ef the thickly populated districts. "No religion or worthy tradition guides them.

The tongs have no roots in China, They are, in fact, unknown in China, and. I believe, they do not exist In any country In the world outside of the United States. I know that there is a common impression here that every Chinaman belongs to one Tong another. This Is a ridiculous Very few of the Chinese either here or ln San Francisco, or any other American city, belong to any toug or indicate any sympathy with one or the other any nigra than you do. one of the Chinese merchants, or men of their kind, is a tong man.

GOVERNMENT BY PROXY NOW. Oregon Planj Would Presenlj Ideas of Representative Lawmaking. June 29. It te remarkable phw of government that? has been evolved by the Feople'a Powfr League for presentation to the people, at the com- inK State election under the! Initiative. Ju to nmve the votes cast In any election represented In thtjleglslatlve assembly by proxy members whose vot- ing power in that body shall jbe gaugeo by the number of electors whd voted for them.

Thus a popular man Who might have polled t23.O0O votes In an election will be able to 'overcome two members of the legislative body who might have polled only 12.000 each. The new system Is the product of W. S. TJRen and other reformers who for the 'last decade have been upsetting political conditions In Oregon, and la Intended to complete the revolution which began with the popular choice of United States Senators, has brought the initiative and referendum and mag bring the single tax and other nostrums for the ills of the body politic These! men have been working on the Idea for years, and have sought counsel -with other economic reformers both In the United States and Kurope. They believe they Jiave made improvements on anything evet- before offered, and that popular government will be a reauty ff their Idea Is addpted.

Their -I, by the members of various organizations to carry out their reforms, and the proposed revolution Is likely to overshadow even the Presidential fight In the coming canvass. Under the plan the State Senate will be abolished and the legislative power of the State, aside! from that exercised by the people directly, will be vested In an Assembly of sixty members, whose terms will be four-years. They are io be chosen In 1914. The State Is TO be divided Into districts, as at present The members Vre to receive 3 a day nd 15 cents mileage, but their regular sessions each year are to be limited to forty days, and special sessions to be called by the Governor cannot run more than twenty days. The plan Is not fullv wnrkert nut In the constitutional amendment as id rafted, details being- left to the lawmakers.

This general provision for representation of all the voters la made: 3 P. preaentativee in th Legislative" Assembly shall ba chosen by the Irsal vatera by auoh meuxKl or proportional representation of all the voters that ss nearly as Siay be practicable any we-iutleth of all nhe voters of tne maia voting for one person for Bepre- Bjwia uHim nia election.

Now comes the proxy Idea. It is provided that on any roll call tat the legisla tive Assembly a member is to cast for or against the measure the; total number or votes he received at thai noils.

Thus. a Socialist or Prohibitionist -would be able to cast tne tun ot his party, even though only one might be elected. A majority of the votes cast at the last preceding election wilt be necessary to pass any measure, andj three-fourths for any emergency measure! In order to make certain that all citizens shall be represented, a provision is included for representation if those who voted for candidates who The Governor and his defeated rivals are io oe maae ex-otncio members of the Aisrraoiyj ana xnis provision is made: Kvery such ex-otncio member is the proxy In the Legielatlve for the total number of electors In the State 4 who voted for unsuccessful candidates ef his party for Repre-eenative la- the Legislative lAaaembly. and 7 vx-iiicjo meznoerf nail caat that uuuiw wi tulc i ur or against any ea any roll rail.

II II UNCLE SAM GLAD; HE BOUGHT ALASKA Purchase of' Territory for $7,200,000 One of the Great-! est Realty Deals on Record. A PROFIT OF $410,824,310 BUI Brfor Congress to Croats Legislature for Northern Land-Its Development Possibilities.

Bpealdng before the Boose of Represent, atlves last week la favor of a bm to create a Legislature for Alaska, Congressman Jefferson M. Levy clte'd the purchase of the Northern territory as one of the greatest real estate speculations on record, Alaska was purchased from the Russian Government by the United States In 1867 for $7,200,000, and since that time has netted a return of $410,824,310, according to Congressman Levy's figures. The price paid for Alaska, with Its 44S square miles abounding ln mineral wealth, was less than half what Is being asked to-day by theh Equitable life As- ance Society for Its Broadway proper ty, which stood the building recently destroyed by fire. The block, which is bounded by Broadway, Nassau, Cedar, and Pine Streets, with total area of only 62.000 square feet, is valued at about $15,000,000. Another example of compar ative values is shown ln the recent sale of the block covered by Madison Square Garden to a syndicate of speculators for S3.rioo.ooo.

Concerning the territory. Congressman Leyy had this to aay: "It is Impossible for us even to more than faintly esti mate the aelendid future possibilities of the Alaskan wonderland.

COLQUITT DEFENDS PARDONS Texas Governor 8ays Nons Has Been Granted Because of Influence. AUSTIN, Texas, June 29.

Gov. CoN qultf record as a pardoner of criminals Is figuring ln the political campAJgn ln Texas. Judge Ramsay, his chler opponent ln the primary race, has attacked him severely on the ground that he has sought to make political capital out of clemency, and has not given sufficient thought to the Interests of society. The Governor, however, denies that any politics has entered into the matter. In one of his speeches he said: I have granted something over 800 pardons to men and five or six to Out of the men I have pardoned some 223 of them were young white men who were aervlns their first terms In prison for their flrat offenses against the law, young white men who were without means for defense, young white men with good prison records snd who had served majority parts ef their terms.

In most of these cases I found they were young men who had left the farm and gone -to soma town or city In quest of more profitable labor, had fallen lnot bad company, and been led astray and into the oommlsalon of crime. I have not abused the pardoning power and have not used It for political purposes. I have not granted pardons upon the appeals of eloquent lawyers and Influential politicians In order to obtain their friendship snd political support, but most of the pardona nave been upon the appeal of some heartbroken mother who wss without friends or Influence and without or upon the appeal of some young wire. "I have' been Imposed upon' In seme in-stances and have errors, but I am not going to try to avoid tha oonaequamces of those errors. Moat of the pardons have-been granted ru condition that the beneficiary would not again violate the.

law during the unserved portion of sentence and if he did ha would be returned 'to prison to aarea out tha remainder of hla snlenoe and I want te aay that of the S2S conditional pardons I have granted I have had te send only ens man back to prison. tn the clemency exercised by the Governor negroes have figured infrequently, though at times he has stayed executions to make certain that they should get justice.

Notifying the candidates of their nominations by their respective conventions may. take place at any time. There Is no rule about it Generally it occurs within thirty days after the conventions. The Permanent Chairman of a convention is usually Chairman of the Notification Committee. The first Presidential- nominee to get the notification as it la now made was Henry Clay ln 1831.

The committee consisted of one delegate frcm each State. From then until now to be one of the Notification Committee has, ln the estimation of the committeeman, added lustre to his name. Before the plan now ln vogue, nominees were notified by malL That custom caused one nominee some chagrin. The Chairman of the convention notified him by letter. In those days the recipient of a let-tr, paid' the postage when the letter was delivered rn the case of the nomination Gen.

Taylor by the Whhx convention, the Chairman, Gov. Morehead. wrote the notification letter. After several weeks of silence Gov. Morehead became uneasy.

Old. Gen. Taylor's mall was unusually heavy, and he gave orders that all mall to his address should be returned to the Dead Letter office unless the postage was prepaid. The 6 airman of the Whig convention had failed to prepay on his letter of notification, and back it went to the dead heap in Washington. Thereupon the Chairman wrote another letter of notification, put on the stamps, and hurried it to the waiting nominee ln Louisiana, Gen.

Taylor replied to that at length. The nominee is notified at his plaoe of resldenca unless some other arrangement In made. If the officer of the day at Governors Island had not understood his business, a laughable Incident might have occurred when Gen. Hancock, then ln command of the Eastern Department, was waited upon by the Notification Committee from the Cincinnati ConvenUon. which nominated Gen.

Hancock for President. A Missouri editor, who was one of the committee, broke away from the main body as It approached the veranda of the house of the Commandant and endeavored to persuade the officer ln charge of such matters that he must have the guns roar out the Presidential salute. It is said that the Mlssourlan used his perfervld oratory in trying to have the officer understand that he (the Missourian) had a vet-bal order for what he asked. It is not known what reply the officer made, but the guns dldnit roar and the story never got out. It Is remembered by a few of the old politicians who were in the convention that nominated Cleveland and Hendricks, that Indiana statesman and his friends were greatly incensed over the failure ot the convention to make the tall of the ticket reverse Itself.

Mr. Hendricks was a sage hn Democratic councils when Mr. Cleveland was a day scholar. Mrs. Hendrcks was a high-born lady In the best social circles of her 'own home and ln Washington.

She shared the political ambltloas of her Illustrious husband. She had exalted ideas of her own position. One of the unauthentlcated stories about the nomination of Mr. Hendricks was that the National Committee of his party was forced to borrow some old-time diplomacy in persuading Mr. Hendricks to let Tom accept." When the committee succeeded, and Mr.

Hendricks was asked when and where he might be notified. Mra Hendricks again spoke. For a reason that was not explained the committee was Informed that Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks would be at Saratoga Springs.

N. on end after a certain date. At that time Saratoga Springs was a social centre. It ranked Newport. The notification of Mr.

Hendricks was timed to take place when the reason was at Its height. The notification of the head of the ticket was overshadowed by the social trimmings that were attached to the notification of the tall. A correspondent of a Chicago newspaper, who was present, telegraphed among other words, that the old Atiantlo rolled ln majesty before the drink water I scene as Mr. Hendricks stood en ths veranda of the great hotel." Possibly on account of the hurry incident to making up a newspaper ln the early morning hours the old Atiantlo rolled before. Saratoga Snrinis in every Issue of the paper.

In some way not explained the story reached Mr. Hendricks and be is said to have hoped j. to the Lord that Mra Hendricks wouKTuot hear of It" It is said, but this is not vouched -for. that when Mr. Cleveland heard of the "break" he sent -word to his running mate that es he had drawn the Atlantic ashore he hoped he would be able to land the necessary votes to elect the ticket As there is already some talk about certain Electors casting their votes for a candidate who was not nominated, it is Interesting to recall that one President was chosen by his own vote.

At the time of the election the elder Adams was a member of the Electoral college. One or the Electors had been chosen by a popular vote. He was a hed era list, instructed for Adams. He voted for Jefferson and Pinckney. Mr.

Adams, as Vice President presiding over the Senate, opened the certificates of the electoral count and declared himself elected President That Col.

BEAR HUNTER IN NEW YORK. Leaves Colorado to Visit Old Home, but He Will Not Stay Long. ORKELBT, CoL. June 29. Somewhere ln New Tork at present is a man who has left off bear hunting for a season In order to take another at Broadway, which he left twenty years ago or more because he preferred the wilderness.

It is not likely that he will make himself known "except to a few relatives and friends, and Broadway probably Won't recognize him. Robert Barclay is said to be a member of a wealthy New Tork family. When a young man an unfortunate love affair sent him into the wilds, and he spent much of his tlfe In hunting. Grlnly bear were his favorite game. In time he turned his attention to prospecting, and after much ill-luck went to Alaska in the boom days.

There he found gpld an dwas able to get sufficient fortune to permit him to live as he chose His choice was the mountains, and he continued bear hunting. He had had little to do with his family ln his absence, but recently relatives persuaded him to pay them a visit. He came out of the mountains near this place on his way. I am going back to the old State' and take a look at Broadway once more," he said. "I Imagine the old town has changed a great deal in the last twenty years.

But I shall not stay. It Is not life to be pursuing artificial pleasures, although I used to think so once. Give me the blue, open Colorado sky. the wind among the pines, my own cabin, and the footprints of a big bear this is living, that is real life." LA FOLLETTE PARTY BROKEN. Gov.
