Director Sonntag mentioned tbe fact and both he and NeS stated their Inability guess what would be done with the wtlortunato under the Geary act This also suggested the fact that At San Qnentin and Folaom there are in all 175 Chinese not on of whom has been registered Jis these men genre out tbeir terms they wIU be rekasedand the question is can they be deported Thomas Faordan the attorney is by reason 0 hi practice among the Chinese parucruariy well informed on tbe Geary act He was seen yesterday and when the proposition was laid before him said The Chinese Consnlste th Merchant Clab and the Six Companies would be only too gad if the law required the im mediate asportation ol Chinese felons alter they had served their terms Unfortunately there is a clause in tho law which excuses their not being registered Alter reciting the fact that all Chinese must be provided with certificates within a year alter the passage of the act May 5 1892 the section proceeds to state that a Chinese must be denorted by order of a Judge unless he shall establish clearly to the satisfaction of said Judge that by reason of accident sickness or other nn avoiaanie cause ne baa been unable to procure his certificate etc and that he was a resident of tbe united States at the time of the passage ol this act That clearly covers the case of Chinese felons as they may have been resident of the United

Wife Suffering for the Sins of Her Husband Judge Wallace laid the hand of tbe law very heavily yesterday upon George Bee a brutal wretch who a tew days ago was convictedol an attempt to commit felonious assault upon thn two little Ferrea girls aged 9 and 11 years The records showed that Bee had once before served six yearnn State prison for a similar crime Jodge Wallace ordered him sent back to his former abiding place for the term ot twenty two years Bee simply shrugged his shoulders slightly and seemed in no way worried Another heavy sentence was imposed upon John Johnson a young man who bad been convicted of stealing 90 from the person of one James Muliauy while the latter was intoxicated The crime was grand larceny and as there were several prior convictions charged against Johnson he had to be given the limit which was twenty years In Btate prison Johnson himself heard his doom announced stoically enough but it was different with his young and handsome wife who was brpten hearted During his trial she sat by his side in court and when he was convicted was terribly shocked and grieved Yesterday how ever when she heard the Judge utter the fatal words Twentyyears she screamed aloud and burst into a Jit of violent sobbing striving desperately to reach her husband wnere he stood in the dock Her condition is more pitiful inasmuch as she will before a great while

the greatest chess players la the world will arrive in San Francisco next month This celebrated player was born in Beriiuchtn a smalltown in Pjruisls December 24 1868 He learned the rudiments of the game g5 5 If tedWk lsir IfcS3 XXAXUXl iasxxx from his brother when out 12 years old The youngster took quite a liking to the game and was a constant visitor around the chess clubroomvin Berlin where he played against some of ibe cheis experts of the big city who took tbe liveliest Interest in tbe youngster on account of his careful moves and at times some of them experienced no little difficulty in beating theyoung phenomenon His first success In the chess world dates from June 1880 when he won the first prize in a tournament at the Kaiserhof Berlin without losing a single game Later on his victory at the bes Congress of the uerman uness Association of Jtsreeiau entitled him according to tbe German rule to rank as a master The same year at Amsterdam he lost only one game agamst Air van vieet agentieman wen known in chess circles in this city It should be mentioned that at this same congress he beat Messrs Bailer and Guns berg two world famed masters The tat ter gentleman competea against air Steimts for the championship of the world Lasletyisited America at the request of the Manhattan Chess Ciub of 2ew York He arrived in this country last October and according to agreement

werttobe issued by the Harbor Commissioners for securing funds to erect the proposed union jiepot at the Market street ferry remain ia th main office at 10 California street The Clause that tbey shall be redeemed In gold coin of the United States is missing One of the Harbor Commissioners said yesterday that the Legislative act under which the bonds were printed was defective and that it would according to his ideas be necessary to revise the law al the next session of the Legislature before the bonds could be sold In the meanumrhe said thai the board would endeavor to go ahead with the put ting up of the onion depot with the funds at their tsmmind How Official Uutie3 Ire Performed Personal Characteristics of tne Apostolic Delegate Bis Associates An KxcelTe Verdict Some months ago a tury injudge San dersonts Conrt gave a verdict for 3i 854 79 In favor of Martin White and against Hickox et at Yesterday Jndgr Sanderson decided that the jury naa awaraeo isi in excess or tne amount to which the plaintiff was Justly entuteo te oroereu mat a new mat oe granted unless White should consent that tbe verdict be Teduced to 3366 79 The uit grew out of an assignment and sale ot certam mining stocx ana has been pending lnxne court for six or eight years Now that the trip ot the apostolic delegate Mgr BatolU through this country has ended and he has been deemed to have sufficiently acquainted himself with the territorial limit of his ecclesiastical Jurisdiction The Papal suit at the Catholic universitys divinity building in Washington is being renovated for the Italian prelates occupancy The impression that Jlgr Satolli comes here as a hierarchical despot or something of the sort is absurd says the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette He simply maintains a court for the settlement of ecclesiastical suits The litigants have their counsel Arguments and briefsare presented as in a court of law The proceedings and decisions ot the court are recorded and forwarded to Rome The latter function is exercised by Mgr BharettL who because he acts by virtue ot his office independently otthe delegate was stated by some to be a Papal spy upon Satolli The silliness of this statement must be apparent when It is considered that unless Mgr Sbarettt could act independently he would be merely Satolhs clerk whereas now there must be no doubt that his reports can ce influenced by nothing but his own sense of fairness and there can be no grounds for impuzning their accuracy when they reach Rome The Key Hector Papi might be termed the rapsi attache ot tne court The lives led by these three Italian gen tlemen are very simple ana regular ca tollis bedroom ia on the third hallway facing the grounds about the University building It contains one bedstead with no springs but wooden slats to support a single thin mattress There are one chair one table and a wash stand The floor is uncarpeted Mgr Satolli has no personal servant When he wants anything done he usually does it himself He rises usually ot 8 oclock every morning His attire is the black habiliment jrffected by the ijoman Catholic priesthood Set offby the round white collar and black breastpiece indoors he wears the gown For street wear be dons a long black frock coat black square toed shoes and a low round Crowned soft black hat His trousers do not descend much below his shoe tops and the mans whole look evinces a total lack of pride in his personal appearance except that he is always scrupulously clean The delegates voice fs low and mild and his smile is ot the readiest Barely does a countenance and physique suggest tbe purely intellectual so thoroughly as SatolHs and there is an utter absence of that suggestion ot subtlety and dissimulation popularly associated with the Italian character Personal magnetism in tne nest sense 01 thatmucn aoused term is tbe MonsignOr1 chief characteristic and all the men and women Protestant Catholic Hebrew or what not who iiave met him in this country like the man for bis unassumed geniality and courtesy The Monsignor after bis morning bath takes no breakfast if he is to say mass in the university chapel Otherwise he will drink a cup of coffee without milk or sugar and eat biscuit or two He is then likely to open his faithful friend St Thorn asr As early as 7 oclock in the morning he is often taking constitutional in the university grounds book in hand If he encounters any of the students he at once opens a conversation and merely to see thejrelate and the budding priest talking and laughing together shows that the Monsignor does not stand Upon his dignity or rank These conversations ara held in Latin of which the delegate is a thorough matter He uses the sibilant Continental accent and from his lips our mint Latin would be a ploor eeboos oonoomv By 0 oolock Satolli is at work In the Papal suit his two assistants with him dilieently portne over Ith arguments in a dispute between a pnest ana mi ujsiiop Communications with tbe Vatican are made regularly and with strict formality in the Latin language superfluous to say Satolli being delegate apostolic may address the rorje direct on otScial buslnessr and standing in place of tbe Ionttti witn tne same authority as 11 the Pontiff himself ipokt is not controlled by the Vatican in tha same sense that Mgr Sbatrettt Js The latter lendsofficial reports to the Vatican monthly or of

Lep As a rule correspondence is sent by mail but occasionally a clergyman going to Borne is charged with the delivery of letter or document Official business is transacted with the Panal Secretary nf State Sometimes the apostolic delega tion nowever pas reason to communicate with the Propaganda Fide The luncheon nour is 1 oclock with Satolli He has a seat at the university dinine table where Bishoo Keaneaudhia I staff eat Very oiten the delegate will go into tne students dining nan and taiic with the young men The Italian prelate is air astonishingly light eater He rarely uses butter or sugar Meats he tastes sparingly ms jayonte vegetable appears to be the potato and oddly enough he seems very indifferent to the macaroni of his native land His dessert is as a rule an apple or a teaspoon ul of jelly Pastry he is not fond of nor does hetouch elaborately prepared dishes such aa beef strata la Bernaise potatoes aa gratia or the like He is equally abstemious in the use of liquors Once in a while he takes a half glass ot wine and Vichy Water forms however his principal liquid diet a drop or two of lemon being squeezed into it now and then Batolli retires early except when some case imperatively demands attention It Is nothing extraordinary for a renorter to come clstteringuptothe divinity build ing atioaciocx at nignc only to learn thatthe delegate has been in bed asleep for an hour batolli is fond of air and his bedroom windows are open whether the night be cold or hot andfiis door Half the time is also wide open Satollls belongings would enrich nobody Ennt hi arcnepiscopal ring and cross both supertr specimen tu uc jewelers art tne ecclesiastics principal possessions are a villainous old leather trunk that he bronght from Italy i worn leather satchel and the contents thereof These objects decorate his bedroom Satollls recreations are simple enougn He has a taste for literature and his leisure preciouslittle he hasIs devoted to a perusal of Dante whose Com madia he profoundly appreciates The Purga by heart sa of ten has he read it He is not so fond of Tasso and with the ama tory poets of his uaUvelandhehas little or no acquaintance The one delight of his life is perhaps Thpmistic atudy He never wearies of conversing upon that topic and to him Is due no doubt the revival of the rMlosorhT baaed nnon th lhoreless ocean of literature tq which the angelic doctbr has given rise Sometimes ji tudrnt or two will undertake to initials the delegate into the mys teriesotpooVor billiards in the lower room of the seminary Mgr Satolli falayana Uy beaten most lnlorisnsly Cards are an utter mystery ia him and baseballtif the expression be permissible broke him all np when a young priest once endeavored to explain how our national game is played The delegate never visits a theater It seems not generally known that Satolli is connected with some of the noblest houses in Italy and that he has relatives who are powerful In tb financial wonaot uumoerts xtngaom neaeie gatea salary has been stated to be 8000 a Sear but his living expenses are far less lan that sum Whenthe delegate travels extensively as for instance on his lata trip to the West he occupies a private car wjth his salt and pays for it out ot his own pocket On other occasions he travels like one of the great public He cuts no figure in tbe social world although once in awhile a reception in his honor is held at the house of a Washington magnate He appears on such occasions in the formal dignity Of aik and cassock distinguished looking and smiling and leaves early in the evening THE 8YHPHONV CONCERT Bauer Last Programme of the Sam 4 me Season The summer series of symphony concerts came to an end yesterday afternoon with a programme which had no hint of da capo in it but rather a suggestion of the opening bars of a new movement Mr Baneds and Mr Beets hospitality to the music of new composers of accepted position Is a sort of guaranty that there will be something to pique legitimate curiosity at each of the winter concerts The novelties of yesterdays programme were two selections from Leoncavallo successful opera I Pagliacci and Ham ericka Tragic Symphony Strongly dramatic and Strikingly onginaj the prologue of the opera would have made a vivid impression on the audience as the beautiful Intermezzo did without the re enforcement of Sullivans voice With that splendid organ as rich in volume and vitality as it is in musical warmth it became naturally one of the two most attractive numbers on the programme Mr Sal Uvan has gained much in command and something in the range of his voice during his year abroad nut tne repose of conceit Vere de Veres has not yet attacked the frank expressiveness of his stage manner The symphony tike the overture Meyers beers StrUensee and Greigs Solycjgi Bong was excellently played by the orchestra but tbe effect ot its imposing phrases was half sacrificed by the composers iteration and it seemed too long for the amount ot musical material in it Vieuxtem ps violin concerto 4 was one of tbe successes of the concert The violinist Giulo Minetti wept through Its endless difficulties in admirable style and displayed a virtuoso quality that won him several enthusiastic recalls His tone especially in tha high register is hardly equal to Jits technique but the latter was sufficient for the audience IK SCOTTISH HALL The Danes and Prise Distribution or Two Clans Girls and boys and grown men cairngorms tartans plaids and hllibegs gathered Scottish Hall last evening with more than a sprinkling of young

7i33 inches printed la tolors and mounted on roller PeopfeWhoPose asFamous Personages A Counterfeit of the Divine Sarh Even the Emperor of Russia Has a Double WHO Is Now Insane Many famous personages ot tils age have doubles Every one in Copenhagen has heard of the Czars double Carlten bis name is and only aa a retired banker was he known to bis countrymen until the Czar and his family began to spend the summer months at their favorite resorts near th Danish capital Then people began to notice the strange likeness ot Carlsen to the Russian ruler and really It was remarkable Banker and Emperor were ot the same height of similar physique and as to the eyes beard hair and strongly marked countenance each was Almost an exact counterpart of the other The consequence was that on many occasions Carlsen was mistaken for the Czar and was so vastly pleased at hearing himself cheered and eulogized by enthusiastic crowds that he gradually adopted the manner and dress of the realCiar and finally gave full rein to his vanity and made it a rule of his life to counterfeit the Czarin all respects When It was announced that Alexander was on his way to Copenhagen Crlsens would appear at the head of the procession in a launch exactly like the Uzars and later on would drive his our hand through the crowded streets bowing right and left to the cheering populace All this adulation and homage was too much for the poor man He who had successfully Counterfeited the real Czar now felt that be and hot Alexander was the ruler of Russia and being of a morous nature be has lived since then the life of a man condemned to eternal torture Appalled at the thought that nihilists were plotting against him he shut himself up in his villa where he surrounded himself with a body guard whoseduty was to see that no dynamiters of nihilists should approach the stronghold Even with these precautions he was not satisfied Unable to rest night or day and seeing an assassin every stranger he gradually lost his reason and when he issued an edict confiscating all the farms surrounding his villa On the ground that nihilists were harbored on them tbe authorities interfered and removed innr to a madhouse There he is now and there he will remain while life lasts says the New York Herald AGerman AmericanmadehImself conspicuous in London recently by posing as the Prince of Teck He slaved the role without interruption for some time but finally his conduct became so erratic that he was arrested on the charge ot swind ling His lawyers reply was that he was not in bis righfrnind but it does not appear that this excuse was satisfactory to the court In any case prompt steps were taken to prevent the real Prince of Teck frorn being annoyed iy this pretender to his title and dignity Satalie ex Queen of Servia may also fairly claim to have double This double resides at Irun the district of San Sebastian where she carries on a small business She is not especially well favored as to looks or deportment and except that ber name is Katalie there seems to be no resemblance between her and the charming ex Queen Still she is known far and wide as the ex Queena double and for theiollowing reason The people of Iran heard recently lhat ex Qoaea Hetalie w4 ttintef Biarita would visit Swra ajr tain day and though taey bad seen many sovereigns and ci sovereigns they had neverseen ptr and the result was tha every man woman and child In Iran gathered ai the Bailjoad station intending to ffiyfr her a warm grrttn When tbe train roilea in snafe seeuded not Natalie tfee herming popular ex Queen of rvia hut Natah the plump plebeian little tradeswoman of Irun The mystery was soon explained It was all the work ol a DracticaLioker who delights in fooling his townspeople On this occasion he certainly succeeded ExrQueen Kaialie visited Iran in propria persona a day or two after tbj occurred and was heartily amused when the Mayor of the town told her about her double Sarah Bernhardt on one occasion came face to face with a bomActre of whom the world has never heard but who ap pears to nave been Dot in appearance and manner strikingly lika tha famous French actress On her waynome Jrom a long tour Sarah stopped on day at a little seacoast village in the south of Europe and the fancy seized her to give a performance of KRny Bias there She was told that there was no theater in the tillage and that even if there were the shepherds and husbandmen who were the only residents of the district were too poor to pay even a trifling earn for admission out her reply was that a temporary stage must be erected in any available building and that since tbe village could not afford to pay for the privilege of seeing and hearing ner act she wouldnot only admit them iree of charge but would give every one after the performance a gold piece as a souvenir of her visit Her orders were carried out to the letter A bam like building was rented for the evening a stage was erected one corner was draped off aa a dressing room and In this room Sarah was being attired by her maid when suddenly the curtain was pushed aside aud 9 tall poorly dressed pale faced girl entered Madamew sh said to Sarah1 will you permit me to take your placet on th stage this evening This is an extraordinary request but have a good reason for asking it I believe that I have great dramatic taient and I desire to find out tnis evening whether am a vain fool or a bom actress 1 know all of your roles by heart and you may rest assured that I will not break down Grant me this favor madame and I will be eternally grateful toyouv Sarah pondered a minute or two and then saidbruqnely All nzbt yoa may take myplace My maid will dress you The girl who was the daughter of a poorvillaeer stepped on the stage and at once revealed herself as a great actrs True ehe wa ignorant of the most ordinary rules of the stage but baraiu watching hr from the background noted not ber ignorance In this respect so amazed was she at the tenderness intensity and splendid power exhibited by this unknown Tillage maiden Sarah I garahl shouted the delighted audience and the plaudits ever increased until the girl who at that moment seemed an embodiment ot the renowned actress bad acted her part and retired amid a shower of flowers Yon are a wonderful actress my dear was Sarahs greeting and 1 Intend to take you with me Pardon madam was the reply but it is 11 oclock already and I must hurry home or my father will be uneasy and as the put off her rich robe and put on her shabby old dress she continued Yes I will never leave home again I wanted to find out whether Iw as a great actress like you or not and know now that I am For me that knowledge is enough I know that you ft re feted and honored but for such triumphs I
