ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

NEW YORK, Oct. 24-The Commercial
Advertisers Washington special says; A
class Of American citizens, who sre afraid
that the Chinese will crowd them out in
the struggle for s living, are very watch
full of the workings Of the Chinese Prohi-
bition bill, and lose no opportunity to
call the attention Of Government officials
to what they consider violations of the
new law. The latest case of this kind has
just been brought TO the attention Of the
Treasury Department, and it illustrates
very forcibly the hardships of the law if
enforced literally and without any regard
TO common sense. A Chinaman living in
New York started to go TO Chicago, but
bought his ticket via the Grand Trunk
Railroad Of Canada. He had no difficulty
en- route until the time came for him to
cross the border from Canada back into
the United States, when he was stopped,
and his certificate, or free papers, demand
ed, but of course were not produced. 1t
appeared that he made a continuous ride
from New York, and held a through ticket.
The authorities declined to allow him to
continue his journey, on the ground that
the law forbid Cinnamon from coming into
the United States. The case was submit
ted to the Treasury Department, and yes
terday q decision was rendered to the ef-
feet that the Chinaman had a right to con-
tinue his journey, and that his case was
not such a. would invoke the operation of
the Chinese bill.
Chinese Question in Canada.
New YORK, Oct. 24.-The Herald's To-
ronto special says: The Chinese question
is beginning to loom up in Canada as one
Of political and social consequence. The
importation Of several thousand Chinese
into British Columbia, to work as navvies
on the Canadian Pacific Railroad, has
aroused much feeling in the trades unions,
which, at q meeting here on Saturday,
passed resolutions strongly condemnatory
of the Chinese being allowed the counte-
nance Of the Government or its contract
ors, and urging prohibition or restriction
whenever practicable of Chinese immigra-
ton. In this city, until lately, the num-
Der Of Chinese has been very small, and as
the laundry business was the only one that
suffered from their competition, there was
NO complaint. Latterly the restrictions
placed on their immigration to the United
States have drawn large numbers to To-
ronto. The other day some of them in
attempting to pass through the United
States, ostensibly on the way to the Celes-
tial Empire, were met by obstacles at the
suspension bridge from an American
official, which induced them to return to
the bosom OF the small Chinese community
in Toronto. The Young Mems Christian
Association recently organized a class for
their instruction in English and il the
Tlris-5an Eaith TOln liI ,a+ a Z. G.,. ~
spond to the efforts made to raise him
socially and morally, but within a few days
the personal solicitations of members of
the Association have resulted in securing
a class of over twenty, who appear to take
kindly to the barbarian method of educa-
ton, no doubt in the hope Of reaping pc
cuniary benefit.
Two Women Outraged.
CHICAGO, Oct. PA special from
Grand Forks, D. T., says: Yesterday
Charles Lurban, a negro barber, met a
Norwegian girl on the road and ravished
her in the most brutal manner. He rode
on about q mile and entered the house of
Conductor Sam. Birbauk, of the Manitoba
road, and outraged Mrs. Birbank. A
party of threshers saw the first deed and
started in pursuit. At Birbank's house
they killed his horse, but he escaped
hourishing a knife. Two parties are in
pursuit. The negro will undoubtedly be
lynched if caught.
Hunting Financial Aid.
SPRINGFIELD (Ill.), Oct. 24.-Thomas B.
Needles went to Washington to secure
financial aid for the Republicans OF the
Eighteenth District in their struggle with
William B. Morrison. Hubbell's commit
tee recited how Virginia was calling loud
ly for S25 900; that SIS, ono had gone to
North Carolina, and that S., 900 had been
given to Keifer for use in Ohio. Needles
solicited contributions from Illinois men
in the departments, but was met by q re-
fusal in nearly every case, and went home
discouraged.
