THOSE TAN CASES.

The argument of the Chinese tan cases
came up before Justice Tubbs yesterday at
o'clock. TIE courtroom was crowded with
reporters and attorneys, Snd at least seventy
five inquisitive looking Chinamen were in at
tendance. w. A Anderson, the City Attor
ney, stated that he, as the law officer OF the
city, sworn TO enforce the laws and ordinances
of the municipality, was, ia this particular
instance, placed in an uuenviabIe position :;
that while prosecuting for the violation of a
State lay he was confronted with an ordi.
nance passed by the Board of City Trustees
which was apparently in conflict with the
statute. He stated that under the peculiar
circumstances in which be was placed by the
bringing Of this action, and without wishing
to deprive the associate counsel of the right
Of argument, he would move the Court to
dismiss the prosecution in support of the
ordinance. He argued at considerable length
and with much force that the Board Of Trus-
tees of the city Of Sacramento had power to
regulate sll internal aft sirs, claiming that we
are now living under charter in many re.
spects directly sntagonistic to the codes and
the Constitution, and yet the acts are legal
and have been sustained By the Supreme
Court of the State. He claimed that mas

mount to both.
G. T. Jones, counsel for the prosecution,
argued the case at come length, took issus
with Mr.. Anderson, asserted thas the city
ordinance is void-semething beyond the
power of the Boazd TO pass or enforce.
Henry Edgerton, counsel for the defense,
and who has been retained by the Board of
Trustees to thoroughly test the validity OF
the ordinance. said that be was satisfied an
unsnsWerahle argument could be built up in
favor Of the validity of the ordinance still,
as this was not a Court Of lsst resort, be pro-
posed to reserve his argument for the higher
Court.
Justice Tubbs stated he did not believe the
Board of Trustees had authority to pass the
ordinance, and therefore held the defendants
to answer before the Superior Court.
It is understood that the question will be
brought on for hearing at an early date. The
defendants were held to answer, with bail
fixed at $500 in each case.

Tho Free Trade Convention.

ST. LOUIS, MO, Oct. 3.-The free trade con.
ference concluded its iaS99ars to-day, after a
long debate between some members who in
sisted on absolute free trade, and others who
favored an attempt to eliminate protection
as a first step, and the latter opinion pre-
vailed. An address to the people of the
country was adopted, declaring that protec-
ton was a ruinous measure, and that all
possible means should be taken to abolish it
Immediately. Most of the gentlemen de-
clared that they were straightout free-traders
in theory, but thought it wise to strike at
protection as a preliminary step. A literary
bureau was agreed upon to furnish ree-trade
matter to the press generally, especially the
country papers. Ex-Governor John S.
Phelps, of Missouri, the presiding officer,
stated, before adjournment, that the time OF
the next conference would be announced
hereafter. After adjournment OF the confer
erence the Missouri State Free-trade League
was formed, with Ex-Governor Phelps as
