Definition or Merchant,

Two suits to test the validity of the
Chinese Government certificates were
brought yesterday before Judge Hoh-
man, in the u S. District Court of San
Francisco. A telegram from that city
SAYS that the Judge pronounced the
suits exceedingly embarrassing. In
one of the cases a Chinalnan alleged
that he was a cigar manufacturer. The
Judge said that Congress used the
word merchant, not manuflcturer'
and that if every Chinaman who made a
few cigars or pedd|ed matches was to be
classified as II merchant the restriction
act would be practically dead letter"
The second case was that of boy, sew
entern y ars of age, whose certificate
set forth that the bearer "was going
to San Francisco to manage business
in the interest of a mercantile firm
Was the boy a laborer or % merchant ?
This question was difficult to decide,
and Judgment was deferred.

introduced himself ~ the son Of an old

stranger soon won his friendship. The
two took a walk up Broadway, and
finally Mr.. Tranger was invited into an
office on the second floor of n building,
where he young man had some busi.
hess to attend to. A second young man
was in the office, and, after introduction,
without further ceremony, a demand
was made on Trarger to sign a check
for 81, 800. This he persistently refused
TO do until pistol was placed at his
head and the alternative given Of sign.

then placed his signature TO the check

canvasSers or "peddlers' because they

these unprncped men discover

sent to them that they have been over

BERLIN, Oct 29.-Gen. Stsinmann,
the officer commanding the troops at
Oldenburg, who is Prussian, and
only racently appointed to that post,
has made himself very unpopular. He
grossly insulted the soldiers and peo.
pie Of Oldenburg, whereupon he re-
ceived a challenge from an Oldenburp
officer. The two men met and the
challenger was gravely wounded. Gen
Steinmann's house was afterwards at.
tackled and partly demolished by q
mob, which had to be dispersed by d
force of soldi ri. Martial law has been
proclaimed at Oldenburg.
