Fear That the Anti-Manchu Movement Will Reach Grave Developments. Hongkong, May 2-The anti-Manchu movement has spread from the River at the west of Canton to the north east through Kwangtung province land to Amoy in the southeastern part ol Fukien province. It is difficult to obtain reliable news of the progress of the rebellion, but the feeling here is that further grave developments are quite possible. To-day's advices from Canton, in which city the revolutionary movement originated, indicate that foreigners have escaped harm. The foreign residential section occupies Shamien, an artificial island at the North of Canton.

canal separates the island from the city proper. Gunboats are anchored in the canal and guns are mounted on the canal bank commanding the approaches to the island. Sunday evening the revolutionists attempted to cross to Shamien with the purpose of capturing the police station there. They were repulsed by loyal troops. According to the best information obtainable the foreign missions have not been molested by the rebels.

Service on the Canton-Kowloon section of the railway leading from the capital of the province to Hongkong has been abandoned and the British railway officials have been ordered to come to this city to-night. Vessels are making frequent trips between Hongkong and Canton bringing refugees here. Details of the fighting at Canton confirm earlier reports of the ferocity with which the troops the rebels engaged. Queueless heads and headless bodies in European dress still exposed in the streets. Other bodies show that death was caused by strangulation.

The absence of the queues, together with the clothing of western fashion, make plain that the dead were rebels. The bodies of, the sol.liers killed appear to have been removed. A son of viceroy of Canton and a maid were found hidden under a bed in the servants quarters of the palace, home was set afire. which escaped destruction when The commander of a Chinese cruiser was killed. Admiral Li, who commanded the loyal troops in the first two days of fighting, is said to have personally killed ten revolutionaries before he was mortally wounded.

Bandits led by the brigand chief burned four government residences at Luk Fatshan when they attacked and looted the town. Reports from West River districts are meager as the rebels destroyed telegraphic communication at many points. It appears, however, Wu Sum of the westward after raiding Sam Shui, the anti-Manchu forces chat, working to Wen-Chow. Woo-Chow, Shunthung and Fatshan. The gov rument seems to be in control at Canton.

OLD SIGNS CAUSE CONFUSION. Streets in Ridgewood Heights With New Names Are Still Marked by Former Guide Posts. At a meeting last night of the Ridgewood Heights Improvement Association there was a discussion over the confusion caused by the fact that old street signs still remain in streets that have been renamed. It was stated that the borough officials declare there is a lack of funds. George Seeberg, in wrathful tones, thereupon delivered himself of the following criticism: "If the borough officials have not the money for street a signs and other improvements, let them give back the money they grafted on postage stamps and in other ways.

The borough officials are strong on grafting. Why don't they spend some money for improvements, instead." The matter will be taken up by the committee on streets, the members of which will wait upon the borough offcials on Friday. when there will be a meeting of the local board. CYCLONE UP THE STATE.

WIFE AND CHILDREN. FANNIE WILL BE HAPPY WHEN LOUIS GOES AWAY Magistrate Geismar Says He'll Then Dismiss Charge Against Youth. GIRL WANTED HIM PUNISHED. Alleged That He Threatened Her When She Refused to Marry Him. Whaose love was unrequited? This question was finally answered by Magistrate Geismar in the New Jersey avenue police court yesterday afternoon he had heard some interesting testers mony in an assault charge, which was made by Fannie Reibin; against Louis Roditsky, and which was 'the outcome of though what seems one-sided, to have lovers' been quarrel.

a violent, Both Fannie and Louis are young. Fannie, who is less than five feet tall, and has black eyes and hair and a pale conplexion, lives at 2706 Dean street, and Louis, who is a locksmith, lives at 326 East Third street, Manhattan. The shattered romance became the subject of judicial inquiry when Fannie testified that Louis had threatened to shoot her, if she persisted in her refueal to become his wife. Louis did not accompany his alleged threats with an exhibition of a revolver, but a mutual friend testified that the youthful swain showed him a pistol and he had persuaded Louis to hand over the five ball cartridges, which its chambers contained. That was one side of the story.

"Why, this charge is absurd." said Lawyer Mandelbaum, in behalf of Louis. "The fact is, may it please the court, that this young man is about to marry another girl, and there you have the whole case in a nutshell." "We'll find out whose love is unrequited." said Magistrate Geismar. While her quondom lover made sheep's eyes at her and blushed furiously, Fannie said she didn't love him, and didn't want to see nim again. Louis didn't say much and kept blushing like an American beauty rose. "Poor, love-sick swain!" observed the court.

"I'll reduce this charge to disorderly conduct, and parole the defendant in care of Probation Officer Cox. But if he annoys the complainant again he'll get into serious trouble." Lawyer Mandelbaum explained that he would at once arrange the marriage between Louis and one Millie Kleiner, a poor, but beautiful working girl, who will try to make his life happy in Canada. "Well," responded Magistrate Geismar, "if he's married and out of the country by next Friday, I'll dismiss this complaint against him. will instruct Mr. Cox to escort the young man and his bride to the train, so I can be sure that Louis has kept his promise to leave the country." MAY DEPORT JACOBS FAMILY.

Loeb Confers With Mac Veagh on Case of Two Who Were Searched by Customs Officials. Washington, May 2-Collector Loeb of New York, who is in Washington for a conference with Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh, said to-day that he had asked the Department of Commerce and Labor to decide if David R. Jacobs, a second-hand dealer in New York; his wife Kate, deported and as their undesirable daughter aliens. Bessie, can be Mrs. Jacobs and the girl on Sunday were taken from a liner nd searched, for what reason the customs officials decline to say.

It is intimated they were on the lookout for English thieves. Jacobs has never became a citizen here. As the customs officials have no evidence with which to accuse the Jacobs family of crime, their case is now in the hands of Commissioner Williams at Ellis Island. TO HONOR CARDINAL GIBBONS. Splendid Function Arranged by the Catholic Club.

A reception will be tendered to His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons by the Catholic Club of New York on We Wdnesday evening, May 10, at the clubhouse, 120 Central Park South.

When the Municipal Holding Company purchased an old frame house high up on an embankment of Seventy -seventh street, between First and Second avenues, "they bought a lawsuit with the said one of the officials at Borough Hall to-day. The Department of Public Works has been cutting down the grade of the street, and left the building stranded about 35 feet up the bank. The Bureau of Buildings declared it to be unsafe, and ordered a retaining wall erected or the structure torn down.

All this oc curred when the property was owned by Thomas A. Thomas of Bridgeport, Conn. Mr. Thomas was paid $6,000 by the city as damages resulting from the new grading. Out of this money the retaining wall was expected to be built.

But it was not, and Mr. Thomas sold out to the Municipal Holding Company. Now the Commissioner of Works, together with the Building Bufreau, has notifed the secretary of the company, Frank M. Bell, to build. the wall or tear down the building.

It neither is done, an application is to be made by the city for a Supreme Court order to tear down the house and charge the expense of so doing as a lien against the property. The Holding Company had not notifed the commissioner what it would do, up to this afternoon. MILITARY MINSTREL SHOW.

The two children of the Slezaks have been named Marguerite and Walter, respectively, because on their births their father was singing respectively in "Faust" and "'The Meistersinger," nine and eight years ago. "I shall first go to Vienna," said Mr. Slezak just before the ship sailed.

"I shall sing for two weeks in the Royal Opera House, where I am a court singer by royal command. Then I shall appear two weeks in concert In Paris. Then we shall go to Bavaria, to my country home at Engern-am-Tegernsee, the most beautiful sport in the world--next to America. In the fall I shall again sing for six weeks at Vienna and then for four weeks at St. Petersburg and then for four weeks in Moscow.

WILL GO OVER THEIR HEADS P. S. Commission and Estimate Board May be Ignored. Ridgewood Heights Civic Body Determined on Drastic Methods to Improve Queens Transit Conditions. Members of the Ridgewood Heights Improvement Association, at a meeting held last night, made the prediction that if the Public Service Commission and the Board of Estimate and Apportionment do not soon do something to relieve the transit situation in Queens, theLegisla- ture will be appealed to and the matter taken entirely out of the hands of the two bodies.

President Herman Gohlinghorst declared that it no definite decision has been arrived at regarding routes by the organization's next meeting, on June 5. a series of mass meetings of indignation at the inaction of the city protest and officials will be in order. Mr. Gohlinghorst said it would be unwise, at the present time, to complain about transit conditions, because city officials are promising remedial action just as soon as one of the proposed transit relief plans is adopted. "It the city has not enough money with which to build additional transit lines in the Ridgewood section," President Gohlinghorst said, "the people of this section can themselves build them by assessment." A committee of five was appointed to draw up a resolution to be members of the Public Service Commission and the Board of Estimate stating that now is the time for action, not talk.

and Takes Up Work at Once. WILL NOT DISCUSS POSITION. Major Makes a Little Speech, in Which He Says "Crime Wave" Talk Has Drawn Crocks Here. Second Deputy Police Commissioner George S. Dougherty, the new head of the detective bureau, called at the City Hall this morning and took the office.

Mayor Gaynor, after this formality had been disposed of, a few words of encouragement to deputy. The spoken Mayor indicated in his remarks that Mr. Dougherty would have hand in the management of the detective force and incidentally he criticised those who have been responsible for the statement that the city is in the throes of a 'crime wave. The Mayor's talk to Deputy Commissioner Dougherty was as follows: "You are taking a difficult place but I feel confident you will make a great success of it. The commissioner will stand by you you.

and be Your assured predecessor, that I Mr. will Flynn, stand had full swing in the place, and he did fine work. however well you work you will meet with abuse and may be often discouraged. Of late you have concerted cry that there are an extraordinary number of. robberies and hold-ups in the street and the like, and no one arrested therefor.

This of course has encouraged every robber and crook to come forth and ply his trade, and I suppose you will have some trouble with them. As a matter of fact such crimes were entirely normal when the cry began. But do not be discouraged. Go work hard, and let me assure you you will have a splendid body of men under you." Dougherty Maintains a Policy of Silence. Deputy Commissioner Dougherty apparently has been enjoined to the policy of silence.

He was asked when he left the Mayor's office. what course 'he intended to pursue in the conduct of the detective bureau. "There's no use in talking in advance about such he said. "I'11 wait until the results show before I say anything." "Do you expect to make any more changes "Not right away." 418 the report true that stoolpigeons are to be used again in the detective "Not as far as I concerned." The new deputy commissioner refused to make any comments on the transfers which were made in the detective bureau last night. The reasons for the shift, he said, would have to be given out by Commissioner Cropsey.

Perhaps the transfer of Lieutenant Frank Peabody from the command of one of the branches of the bureau to desk duty in Long Island City has caused the greatest surprise. in police Peabody was regarded as one of the cleverest sleuths in the bureau. His knowledge of the affairs and members of the underworld made him a valuable man in all the important cases which the bureau has been called upon solve. He was die dismissed by Commissioner Bingham on charge of doing detective work for Howard Gould when the latter was contemplating divorce proceedings against his wife, Katherine Clemmons, the actress. At that time a reign of terror prevailed on the West Side, Manhattan.

Robberies, he dups and assaults were a common occurrence. The men in the detective bureau seemed to find it impossible to make any headway in capturing the perpetrators. Commissioner Bingham finally hired Peabody and paid for his services out of -the contingent funds. Peabody made several important captures and recovered stolen loot, which in value aggregated thousands of dollars. Professional Jealousy Is Blamed for Transfers.

Professional jealousy is said to be the reason for the transfer of Peabody and Lieutenants Kinsler and Duggan. The reticence of Deputy Commissioner sioner Dougherty and the fact that CommisCropsey is inaccessible to interviewers, made it impossible to learn today where the responsibility of the transfers belongs. The demotion of V. J. 'Farrell and James J.

Cain from first grade detectives to pounding the pavement in uniform also caused much comment in police circles. Both were regarded as valuable men in the detective bureau. John Hill, former Deputy Commissioner Flynn's secretary, Mr. Dougherty intimated to-day, would. probably seek employment elsewhere.

Hill took a prominent part in the recent gambling crusade, and his loquacity in discussing the different raids made by Flynn, it is said, WAS not pleasing to Commissioner Cropsey, Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty arrived at his office early this morning. When the 250 detectives attached to the Detective Bureau were lined up for roll call, he greeted them, and also looked over the thirty prisoners arrested during the night. Inspector Russell, in charge of the bureau, then took the new deputy about the offices, and after this Mr. Dougherty went to his own office. About Police Headquarters there were many rumors as to why the men were transferred.

It was said that Kinsler, Duggan and 'Farrell, who have worked together for some time, were transferred by Commissioner Cropsey. said that Mayor Gaynor, about ten days ago, ordered the transfer, this being done after an investigation the Mayor made into A case on which the detectives worked. It was also said that when the Mayor ordered the transfer of the men, ten days ago, it was held up by. Commissioner Flynn, who knew the work of the men. The order of transfer was issued last night, and about Headquarters it was said that Commissioner Cropsey signed the order.

Morgan by Miss Bella 'Da Costa Greene, his librarian. It is said that Miss Greene was prepared to go beyond $50,000 for the book if necessary, as it makes the sixty-third Caxton in the Morgan library. The book was once owned by a Brooklyn woman, Mrs. Abby E. Pope.

Malory is supposed to have translated it from the old French romances, about 1470. Its earliest known owner was Dr. Francis Bernard, physician to King James of Great Britain. When Bernard's books were auctioned off it brought but the equivalent of 62 cents. Later on it was valued at a little over $13.

When the Earl of Jersey's library was sold in 1885 in London, the book brought $9,750, Bernard Quaritch acting as agent for Mrg. Pope in the purchase. After Mrs. Pope's death, in 1895, her whole library, including the "Morte D'Arthur," was sold to Mr. Hoe, the purchase price never having been made public.

The book is almost perfect. The only other copies known are not, the one which was in Earl Spencer's library and is now owned by John Ryland of Manchester, England, lacking ten pages. The largest price yet brought in the Hoe sale is $50,000 paid for the Gutenberg Bible, by Henry E. Huntington. The 'day's sales yesterday reached a total of $285,163, and the total for six days is $748,254.

The fifteenth century "Horae," more familiarly known as "Pembroke's Hours," was bought by Arthur Hoe, son of Robert Hoe, for $33,000. Dodd and Livingston bought the "Missale Romano: yesterday for $18,900. It is said to lave been made in the fourteenth century for Charles VI of France. WIBECANS' GOLDEN WEDDING.
