Sw Fkxcisco, Sept. 7. About 3:30 o'clock this morning, there was a row in Chinatown, which resulted in the shooting of two Chiuese. The trouble grew out of hostility between the Ping King Toug society and the Cliee Kong Tang Co. The former organization wis hold ing out-door religious exercises at the hour named. At the conclusion of praj era for tho dead, papers used in the ceremony were, ncconliuc to cus tom, set on lire. At this moment a number of the members ot the Chee Kong Tang Company broke through the ring of worshippers and snatched the burning material. A fight ensued. Revolvers, knives and clubs were swung threateningly in the air. Chin Moy of the Ping King Tong society, was attacked by several of the other order and in the melee two shots were fired. One shot pene trated the lleshy part of Chin Moj's left thigh causing a serious wound. Meanwhile scores of police whistles were being blown and Chinese were Hocking from every quarter. Two Chinatown watchmen were on the .scene soon and drew their revolvers, but were swept away by tho excited mob. Then the Pimr Kimr Time men made a rush for another allev where the Chee Kong Tong society was holding a grand outdoor festivity, in tending to letaliate by smashing "their idols. A struggle took place at the door of the headquarters jC the Ping lung Tong society and here another shot was fired. It struck Ching Ring, a Ping King Tong man, breaking the little linger of his left hand. Five policemen had by this time readied the alley, and with drawn re volvers kept back the infuriated Chinese. Behind them stood the fighting men of the Cheo King Tong ready to meet the expected attack. The Chinese refused to be driven away and continued to meuaco the po licemen v.ho later sent ono of their number for heln and in a fnw minutes half a dozen more ofiicers were on tho scene. With their aid the crowd was soon dispersed and the wounded men were carried to the society's headquar ters. It is exnected tlnr will ln n mnro serious trouble in the Chinese quar ter, as members of the two societies, which have thus declared war, swear that they will have revenge. There is said to be an nl.irminir in. crease in the death rate at Naples tho last few months.

The Vet eran Firemens' Association of San Francisco gave a banquet last night at B'nai Brith hall in honor of the veteran firemen of Portland. Shortly after 11 o'clock the veterans and their invited guests filed in and seated themselves at elegantly decorated and sumptuously furnished tables. Presi dent John C. Roberts, of the San Francisco veterans bade the guests a hearty welcome, in a short and pointed speech, which was loudly ap plauded. He spoke feelingly of some of the pleasures which these re-unions always give. A few moments after wards Colonel "W. H. Chamberlain, general chairman of the joint com mittee of the Admission Day celebra tion, entered the room accompanied by General becretary R. P. Dolan and George Hamilton of the committee. At the announcement of their en trance all rose to their feet and greeted the guests with a round of applause, succeeded by three rousing cheers, such as only firemen can give, for the Sons of the Golden West. Colonel Chamberlain briefly ex pressed thanks. The veterans all had on regulation red shirts. The time passed most agreeably amidst laughter and re partee. After the repast a few short speeches were made by the enter tainers and the guests aud the assem bly dispersed between 12 aud 1 o'clock. Announcement was made that an other banquet to the Portlnnd veterans would be givon next Tues day evening, when a more olaborato program will bo arranged, as tho ban quet last evening was purely au in formal one.

Special l7Tlie Uxitfu I'KKhr. Sax Fraxcisco, Sept. 7. News reached tliis city to day that the Me- Grath-Turner exploring parly was still in Alaska aud would remaiu there during the winter. One section of the party is encamped on the Porcupine river and the other on the Yukon river, about 2,000 miles from its mouth. Accounts of the doings aud experi ence of the explorers have been re ceived by Dr. T. C. Mendenhall, as sistant superintendent of the Uuited States coast and geodetic survey. The party was first sent ontbv the United Stales government Its mis-j sion was to locate and determine the i Mist parallel, the boundary line be tween the Uuited States and tho British iossessions in Alaska. Mc Grath arrived in Alaska in the begin ning of June, 18S9, and until recently uo word was heard from him. He proceeded from Sitka north, 1 dis-1 tance of over 1,500 miles and camned in barren and bleak district It was expected that the steamer A relic would tako the explorers a sufficient quantity of provisions, and relying on this help very few stores were taken overland. Unknownjto tho campers the Arttir was wrecked on her voyage and every thing on board was jettisoned. Totally unconscious of this fatality, the weary party kept daily vigil for tho steamer. Their scanty supply of provisions commenced to thin out, and after the expiration of a few weclcs thoir position became so serious that tho rations to men were halved, and later on they were quartered. All hope that tho steamer woidd arrive was finally given up and the danger of starvation loomed up threateningly. During the latter part of August 18S9, the Jittle camp was surprised by the appearance of several miners, who had come down tho Yukon river. Thoy told a pitiful tale ot starvation and some ot them had scarcely strength enough left to cither talk or walk. They demanded the return of a lighter tent th McGrath parly had borowed some inontlis before. Faco to face with the perii of t. ter rible death, the miners and explorcis decided upon a last attempt to seenre some means of subsistence. Two members of the exploring party McLartz and French, accompanied the miners to a place called Muklukaquet, where it was thought some stores might be had. After an absence of sowrol weeks, dnriug which the Yukon river froze over, McLartz and French were successful in securing some 1 IfiW.CVT-T t$r O V NEW iwu nuiiuioU .NOW .-.

The principal provisions obtained were Hour and beans. After traveling 350 miles and en countering a thousand set-back3, caiup was finally reached. The scene which met them on their arrival was pitiful. During the absence of Mc Lartz the party of starving explorers had exhausted their provisions. They were lean, gaunt, white and despair ing. Their only hope was centered in the success of the long absent skir mishers. They had been compelled to Jail teveral draught animals and the sledge dogs were given the leather tops ot the explorers' boots to eat. The return of McLartz aud French was hailed with joy. By careful feeding and nursing the entire party recovered their health and strength. McGrath writes that he will romain on the Yukon and push his investiga tions to completion. The party has already made a valuable collection of specimens. UEER CRAZE. Tourist- Scelc Article Totieliod Iy tlic Pope. Special to Tin: Astokia.n. Rokk, Sept 7.

YERY TIMELY DISCOVERY A Big Brltlsb Line of Battle Slilp Badly DisalM THE SHAFTING OUT OF PLUMB If the Vessel Had Gone to Sea She Would Never Have Been Heard from Again. Special by Tiie United Fans. London, Sept. 7. An alarming dis cover?' was made yesterday ou tho line of battle ship Amon, of 10,600 tons displacement and nearly 12,000 horse-power. She has been lying at Davenport for several days since her return from the maneuvers, which were held at Bantry bay about three Aveeks ago, and she was placed in the dock in order to undergo au overhaul ing, preparatory to once more taking her place in the Channel squadron. During their examination engineers were very much surprised to find that serious faults existed in themachinery which works the propellors, and the stern fittings and stem shafts were en tirely defective. The frame which held two ot the coupliug bolts was broken and others were very much worn, aud the shafting was not in line. It was by the merest accident that the discoveries were made. Had the defects not been found out there is not the least possible room for doubt that as soon as thedmou had gono to sea a considerable portion of her stern would have gone to the bottom, adding another to tho mysterious disappear ances of vessels which so freqnentlv occur. The announcement has caused a profound sensation in all classes of the community, and a great deal of ad verse criticism is heard ou the subject, for accidents are frequently occurring in some way or another "among the line-of-battle ships, and it begins to look as if there was something fffn in the state government dockyard's metuott ot omitting.

Admiral Walker's visit to Washington last week and his conference with Secre tary Tracy, has been the source of much conjecture and speculation in naval circles. The idea that Admiral Walker and Bear Admiral Harmonvare to succeed each other in their respective positions asfbmmander of the white squadron and chairman of the light house board does not receive much credit at tho department. It is generallv thought that Admiral Walker's visit is merely to discuss the future move ments of vessels now on the Atlantic station. The white squadron will probably remain on the home station with Admiral Walker in command. While Admiral Gherardi will proceed to the European station with the FJiiladelpJiia as his flag ship, ac companied by the Concord and Petrel. In such an event the Balti more, will probably return to the home station or go to China and be come the Hag ship of the Asiatic station. WILiIjIsOT llESHJrs.

"It wdl be very easy for me to clear mjself of all these charges against me and what is more, I can prove that the charges and investigation are alike the results of malice and bad blood.
