DISGRACEFUL SCENES.

| New York.
, York telegram,l

A handsome woman, showing many traces
of refinement, was prisoner at the York
vile Police Court to-day. She was Miss
Mary Hoyt, daughter of the late Jesse
Hoyt, the millionaire, who recently figured
in the courts as n contestant in her fathers
will. She was charged with being drunk
and disorderly. The officers who made the
arrest said that she came to the station
house about s o'clock and commenced
abusing Officer Coon, who occupied the
Sargeant's desk, and said that the police
were devils, thieves, and fiends. She con-
cluded this TRADE by throwing her umbrella
at the Sergeants head. Her sachel and
watch soon followed the umbrella, when
she was arrested and put in a cell. She had
previously assaulted an officer at the Grand
Central Depot. At the trial day Miss
Hoyt frequently interrupted the witnesses
and in such loud tone of voice that JUS
tice Powers said he would have to fine her
if she did not keep quiet. The witness
declared Miss Hoyt was under the influence
of liquor, but the young lady declared that
she was not, and said that she thought she
had been drugged. She was fined 80 for
disorderly conduct. As she left the court
room she said, excitedly: This is an out
rage. shall apply to the President of the
United States for protection" Miss Hoyt
was in the asylum in July and August,

courts have also held that these laws are for the
protection OF society, and not for the regulation

hence in no sense partaking of the character of
-sumptuary laws, a. they are 40 often falsely

Another phase of the Chinese question
has been presented to the Treasury De-
partment. A few days ago a party Of
eighty-six Cinnamon arrived at San Fran
cisco. Some of them who had formerly
resided in the United States were provided
with certificates prescribed by the act Of
1882, but none of them had the certificates
required by the supplementary act of 1884.
They were not permitted to land, as the
United States Courts in California recently
decided Chinese can be allowed to land only
on the production of evidence required by
law, and that secondary evidence can not
be accepted in such cases. The Treasury
Department was appealed to for relief. The
Secretary has, however, decided not to in
terfere in the matter, ON the ground that it
is question TO be settled by the courts.
