The great ten-round contest between the Palo Alto Athletic Club on one side and the laws of the Mate of California en the other, which was to take place lnst night did not come off, because the club fluked at the last moment and refused to go into the ring.

The Palo Alto is au amateur club, with a membership of about sixty, and has of into been in the habit of giving weekly exhibitions of fencing, wrestling and boxing. For last nitiht three ten-rouud contests between: JMcK Carroll and W. Thomas, (1. MeKeozie and Tom White and Srotty and had largely been advertised and tickets at ii each had been placed on sale all around town. These tickets were nothing more nor less than any other ordinary pnslboard entitling the holder to witness llie exhibition, but to avoid the provision in the new net, which prohibits contests for strength and endurance in places, where an admission fee is the foxy managers of the Palo Club entered every man who presented a ticket at the door on -their membership list.

They were by this made club members for the time being, and the money they had was tailed a membership fee. Over 100 of so-called new members were in this manner enrolled and there was quite an assemblage of expectant sports sitting around in the gymnasium on New Montgomery street, formerly occupied by the' late California Athletic Club. It hail been quietly whispered around that at least one ol thu contests was to be a genuine fight, although in deference to the law the teii-iouud limit would have to be enforced. Just the time for the commencement of the preliminaries came Police Sergeant Coles with a squad of Captain, Short's jiflicers arrived iv tho scene, nnd their apparently frightened the officer! of the club; Tliej asked of the sp'reeant whether he Intended to stop the exhibition and' the latter resiled that lie had no such purpose in view unless the contests were, of a brutal anil dangerous nature. As piece of useful information and as a bint for their guidance, however, Sergeant' Coles added that lie considered their charging an admission fee unlawful, and he Intenried.tn give them a chance to tent in the courts whether.

Doubts That He Attempted Suicide. THE GRAND JURY STEPS IN. Faint Hopes That the Veterans' Home May Yet Recover Some Portion of the Defalcation. It was expected that Clark E. K.

Royce, defaulting treasurer of the Veterans' Hume Association, would be arrested' yesterday afternoon upon a warrant Issued by order of the Grand Jury, out inasmuch as Grand Jury was unable to go over the whole case yesterday, It postponed a decision in thn matter until Friday next. In the meantime detectives are constantly shadow Royce's residence and should lie make an attempt to skip out be will bepromptly arrested. The Veterans' Home Association have good reasons to believe that nearly all of the story told about Royce's' attempted suicide is false. It is now almost certain that Royce never shot himself In the head or anywhere else and it is equally certain thathe is net now and never has been paralyzed from the effects of his Injuries. It will be remembered that all attempts to discover the kind of a revolver used, its' caliber mid what became, of the weapon i after the shooting, as well -ah to net a minute description the wound, been unavailing.

Vague descriptions of the wound been given by Dr. Thayer, but nothing --tangible has ever been made public by that gentleman. The doctor Is the only one. who' has over seen the revolver used or claimed to have been used by Koyce in his attempt at ami he refuses to tell what became of the weapon, ami can only describe it as "Oh, a common, ordinal; pistol." As to Rnyce'a paralysis there is hardly a di but Wtfat the statements made were false. The Veterans' Homo Association has evidence that the man is not and has not been paralyzed, even partially.

it Is also certain that the association has' the evidence of four persons who ware In the suiie of rooms adjoining the one occupied by Royce when he -was supposed to -have at'i-mpted suicide for several bean bafor'e the defaulter 'entered his suite of rooms and who remained several hours after Rpice was taken away. These people- will testify that no pistol was fired in Royco's room (luring the afternoon that there were no moans, no moans or other noises, and that had limit) been they would certainly have heard the noise. Tho detectives who have been and are. working on the case now believe that Koyce probably cut -his scalp slightly with pocket-knife in order to bleed arid tliat the bullet in the base of the brain Is a myth, as is theparalvsfs. It is also believed that not only every lar due the Veterans' Home Association, will be recovered, but.

that E. T. Steen, hose share of the judgment In the bteen.lle;i«ly case was assigned by Koycn to Ratbgeb of Alameda, will also recover the luntiey due him. Yesterday, in addition to the suit commenced by tlie Veterans' Home. Association against Royce to.

recover the money lie had stolen from its treasury, William H. Jordan, the counsel fur the association, also levied an attachment upon tne judgment in the tvlceiwllfiiidy case. In view of the fact that the judgment at present is only of which Koyce was to have one-half, and Urn further fact that ho assigned the whole judgment, Steen's half and his own, to Ratbgeb months ago to secure (29,300, the levying of an attachment seems at a glance to bo Worse than useless. lint ttierc i- "a nigger in the Koycc-Rathgeb woodpile. and Attorney JurJun found him.

It -seems that the only assignment for the judgment Kathseb has is for S3OOQ, tiven him in IKST by W. K. 'ad, to whom Itnyce had assigned that amount of 'his interest In the judgment and who reassigned it to Rathgeb. Tne rest of the money loaned Royee by Itathgeb wine!) goes to make up the 529.300 was loaued subsequent to the assignment and is not covered by it. In other Words, it is believed that the only claim Rathgeb can hold against the Slee.iillendy judgment is $3000 and interest since 1887.

It is known that Royce expected torecover between and $400,000 in the case, and it was upon the belief that he would secure, at least $100,000 as his share that lie borrowed right and left md rinitlly embezzled the money of the Veterans' Home. Another peculiar thing is that Rathgeb, ha" held the deeds to the lands in Plumai County owned by Koyce, never recurnea them until Tuesday last, and if the Stories told about tim deeds are true Kathgeb will find himself left again. In the first place the which were taken up under Government patent, were never taken up by Koyce himself, hut were assigned to him by other parties who cave him deeds with the name of tint grantee lett out. These deeds were, It is claimed, turned over by Royca to iiatligeb wlih the name of the grantee left blank, and either Boyce or some one else must have filled in the name of Ratbgeb before the could be recorded on Tuesday. According to the deeds were never any good and will not stand the test of law.

Whether or not Koyce has any title to the Prnmas County lands or not reruailM to be discovered, but If -be has, attorneys say he could not raconvey ihe property to anyone by means of deeds in which no onii appeared as the crantee-nlipn they were matle-i Through the work of Attorney Jordan it now b'gins to look as if the directors of the Veterans' Ilcnm would get a good portion; if lint all, nt the money stolen rant them, while Mi. Batbgebaod others will nave to suffer the collateral given them by Koycn.is worthless in the one case and in tlio other good only for (SOU) and interest instead of which it is supposed to secure. UNDER A CROSS FIRE. The Grand Jury Starts a Royce Investigation. The Jury has taken tip the itpyce case and soon the Chief of Police will cut a figure- ill the Veterans' Home defalcation.

.1 he action of the directors of the association in their unconcealed leniency to the embezzler of the old soldiers' money has stirred. mi Grand Army men, and there is a loud howl among them that not only the proper steps be taken to recover the stolen property, but that the culprit be brought Define of justice. The result of this cry on tlie part of the Grand Army men, which was loudly heard at the recent joint meeting, culminated yesterday in two important steps. The first v. the bringing of.

a civil suit in the Superior Court against Uoyce to recover all the money stolen, and the second was the beginning of an investigation of the 'embezzlers' case by the Grand Jury, which It only the prelude to an indictment. When the Grand Jury met in the afternoon, the waiting-room and corridors, were crowded with throngs of witnesses. It was easily apparent, alter some of them were seen, the Grand Jury was about to investigate Itoyce. Among those in the WHitiiiK-room wore W. V.

Burnett, Secretary Rockwell of the Veterans' Home, J. C. Kii'liliek, Major Merriuinn, Exrjait Uorton all 'I others. Secretory Rockwell stated that they had Dot been but had been requested Counsel 11. to tostffy before the Grand Jmy.

If was late whea the Grand Jury reached the Royce case, and before it reached W. C. Burnntt, president of the Veterans' sayine he was taint dawn to the office of the of Police. He returned before the (iraud Jury adjourned. Tim first witness called was Secretary who went Into the jury-room with 1 nest bundle of papers; within about fitteen inlnutus, Expert Morton, who examined the.

books of tliw.nssociHtinn..: was summoned. It was nearly 6 o'clock when he emerged. It was learned Unit the object of the Grand Jury examining these witnesses first was to get. at exact amount of Koyce's defalcation, which the.District Attorney had advised the jury was necessary before an indictment c6uld be found. The jury did not net the exact figures, and It was found that the reaton.

is because the expirt lias not finished exrtTtins all the books. It was claimed by liUTiiett that the defalcations have aU been iliscov-' far as the large sinns are coneerried," ami nil that remains Is the establishment of a few small amounts which were embezzled. After the ailjournriient of the jury foreman Kirth hehi a witli I'resldent on the subject of getting at the exact amount sloleji.

The Veterans' Home Files a Complaint. The Veterans' Home directors have brought suit in the Superior Court against the defaulting treasurer, Colonel Clark £. K. Koyce, for 517.7G6 98. The complaint recites the- various technical allegations in regard to Royce's position In the home, and his beins entrusted with the funds of the association.

He was elected to the position of treasurer on January 28. 1892, and between that date and April 17. when he resigned, he received $121,975. Out of that sum be has out on vouchers the sum of $104,208. lie neglected to account for $77fiG 98, which sum he has been often invited to pay over to the association, so the complaint iays, but he has always refused to do so.

Consequently, a suit for the amount is In order. William 11. Jordan, thn mechanics' lien attorney, signs complaint as counsel for the Veterans' Home. THEY ALL REJOICE. The Chinese Happy Over Their Victory.

The Six Companies Say The Chinese Have Nothing to A Mysterious Move. The Chinese Six Companies issued a special circular yesterday afternoon, which was in substance as follows: "This circular is Issued that no Chinese wiio has not obeyed the Unjust Geary law may be afraid on May As we told you. the law is unconstitutional and will not be enforced against you. No Chinese will be arrested on May 5, or for one month after, if at all, and. the Six Companies will let you know before any arrests are made.

The authorities at Washington hare told Mr. Qulnn and his deputies to let the Chinese alone until they say to arrest them. It is arranged that cine Chinese in New York shall be arrested for not obeying the law, iv order to bring the registration act before the United Slates Supreme Court. Ho will be tried between May 10 and 15, and a decision will be rendered by the court inside' of a month. The Emperor of China is all the lime telegraphing to our Ministers in Washington, and is looking out for the interest of his in the United States.

counsel in this city Is being kept informed by from Washington. Lift no 'Jhinese be afraid. Those who have disobeyed our advice and registered have lust their money and the respect of their countrymen, and will always be known as men who were willing to be tagged like dogs. The law will not stand. You will all hear from us again as soon as we know about the decision." Several days ago orders wero sent out from this city throughout the Slate calling into San Franciacn a large number of Chinese laborers.

The orders lor the men to come to this city stated that their expeuses would be paid and they would be taken care of after arriving here The limit for arrival was fixed as May 4, In answer to the summons Chinese are Hocking into the cily from all directions. At the offices of the Six CompauiM and the Chinese Consulate nothing whatever could be learned of the order or why the men from the are wanted here. That the order was issued is beyond question. A Cai.i. reporier saw one of ilie ortiers sent to Mercer), but was not allowed to have a full translation made.

Collector JoJin C. Quinn was also notified from Martinez that the order bad been received there, uud the fishermen were cum. ii in. is believed that the Cliinesn fear an nutbreak and an attack from the whites in cas-e the Geary law is declared unrunstiintinnal, and propose to liavn a lufficieul forcn ol uifen at hand to defend Chinatown. It is also believed, and iv this vieu- the Goveroruenl'd officers ihare, that the Cliineso, in ca3e the law is declared constitutional and deportation ordered, will resist arrest by force if need be.

Now that the Government at Washington has ordered that no attempt tie made to enforce tile law until teit case decided by the Doited States Supreme Court, Mr. Quitiu will not need any olficers or any help. The Chinese are wonderfully elated over whnt they call their successive victories over the "tag law," as the Geary act is known, and so sure are they that it will be declared unconstitutional tfint contracts for laborers are being made and men being brought' from Oregon and Washington to till them. It is also reported that contractors here are holding large numbers of Chinese in China in readiness to sail us soon as the Geary act Is declared void, aid that Instead of sneaking them In: across the border In small lots they intend to hamper the officials by running droves of coolies into every port Dring them across the border in companies of ICO and upward. More money is belne subscribed all the time, and since the Chinese have learned that the Six Companies have succeeded in delaying the execution, of the law they are much more willine to put up money.
