Invading ~squatters.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The reports
from the Indian Territory indicate that
squatters are determined to enter the
forbidden land, aud say that on account
OF the thinness Of the line Of the troops
around II they cannot be prevented.
This Is as possible now as 1t was last
year, when the first attempt on the Ter
ritory was made. Then tho squattsrs
got in, but were put out afterwards.
They can doubtless enter tho Territory
In bands, taking for their points Of In.
gress parts OF the line where there are
no troops. When they get In, however.
they have to separate in order to build
cabins and prepare for occupation. Then
1t 10 that flss Of soldiers go around,
and, picking the squatters up, drive
them from the land to which they have
no right. This was the experience last
year, and General Sherman has no doubt
that II will be repeated In the present
attempt.

The Chinese In Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 5.-The Evening Ttk.
graph had an interview with some OF the
most intelligent residents Of Chinatown,
who expect q large number Of their pso-
pie shortly, and say their stay will DO
guided by the reception they meet al the
hands Of the manufacturers here. They
expect generally that q strike threatened
among the various industries will make
room for them, and these Chinamen
have an eye on the usurpation OF The
places Of white laborers. provided the
employers sustain them. They are
sharp enough to realize that trouble may
arise, but do not fear Chicago - they
do the hot.headrd X arneyites Of the
Pacific Coast. The California luminosity
aud o competition railroad system Ia
sending hundreds Of the Mongolians to
this city, who are living with their
friends. The new Chicago Chinatown
will be located on South Clark street, in
the heart OF the city, where cheap base
ments and numerous police abound.
Public opinion, according to the inter.
views, Is decidedly hostile to their ad-
vent.

Fatal Blasting Accident.

San JOSE, March 6.-On Tuesday
evening at z O'Clock, by q premature
blast OF the New Alameden mine, Joseph

posing all four charges to DO exploded,
they returned to the face Of the drift.
and ct the instant OF their arrival two Of

ica2 The World should take up this

English railway builders. 1t will not
do for as to apply tho Monroe doctrine
exclusively to the small Spanish Ameri.
can republics. which We are strong
enough to bully. We must apply It to
the whole continent, north a well as

New YORK CelestialIxed.

NEW York, March Am evening
paper says: Around the principal Chi
ness clearinghouse in this city this
morning there was about as much hustle
a. in the famous Chinese quarter Of San
Francisco. Thels'.ly rrrived omigrants
were ont early .c '',o q look at their
new homo nna compare Il with Ban
Francisco. Mott street, from Chatham
square. a few blocks up. was crowded
with Celsstials. The new corners are
delighted with the change In their pros
poets, and look forward to establishing .
large colony in New York. They are
somewhat reticsnt In the expression Of
their opinions on the municipal govern
ment OF San Francisco, and evidently
think there IL some medium OF quiet
communication between the two cities
which would render an exposition Of
their views dangerous to themselves.
Even the distance that now i~ntervenes
between them and the sand lots 10 not
sufficient to allay their fears Of hoodlum.
ism. Alb Kee, one OF the most intelli.
gent, said the system OF persecution
praoticed by the followers OF Ksarney
against them had reached such an extent
that life became intolsrabls. He had
quite an extensive laundry in San Fran.
cisco, but his business was completely
ruined by the rufisnism OF hoodlums.
His customers dropped of n by ono.
deferred by the threats and violence OF
these rufians. he acknowledged that
the Six Companies had organized q
movement by which, as long as tho low
fares lasted on the railroad and steamer.
there would be Q steady stream OF Chi.
ness emigration to this city and Phila.
dolphia. There Is some talk among the
older Chinese Of adding q theater to the
Cel, s,ial attractions Of Mott street SINH
lar to an establishment Of tho kind in
San Francisco. The entire company
will, IN thu -veut OF tho opening OF tho
theater. be brought in from the Pacific.
Although the Chinese colony here are
very rsticsnt on the subject, It 10 GER
tain that subscription lists have been
circulated among them and rapidly filled
up to enable their countrymsn to come
on to New York.

Constable. J.u.ir. L,,,le Bill.

Among the bills against the county
referred yesterday was one Of Constable
Jewell Of Virginia for ssl7 for criminal
foes during the 20 days Of February. 1t
would seem q IL Mr.. Jewell and his
deputies had become ~incsnsed because
the Board cut down the bill put in by
them the month before and. during
February, had worked with one end only
in view, and that to multiply the costs
OF criminal prosecutions in every way
in which Il was possible for them to do
SO, right or wrong. II this Is true, as 1t
would seem to be to q casual observer,
It il NO better than grand larceny, al.
though II may have been done under
cover and even by sanction Of law. The
County Commissioners are Of the opin.
ion that Il IL best for Mr.. Jewell to prove
his bill against the county, item BY
item. before Judge Rising. and that he
shall at the same time show that the
services rendered were honestly and nsc-
sssarily rendered. For instance. in M
vagrancy case, fees amounted to SOD.
In many OF the Eastern States q similar
charge would be called ga steal'-noth.
ing more, nothing less.
