that young ladies like to be told they

such thing said George, gallantlv.

A Fruitful Cause for the Antagonist of the
People of the Pacific Coast to the MoDgol"
ian Raee-Conflict of Authorities on the
Enforcement Of the Restriction Law
SAN FRANCIsCo, CAL, August 5.
There Is the usual trouble in the United
States District Court as to the admission
of Cinnamon, the District Attorney argu-
ing for carrying out the Restriction law
as recently amended in Congress, white
Judges Sawyer and Hoffman are constru-
ing it to the advantage of the coolle. Hli-
born maintains that the act applies TO
these Chinese Ell route for the Pacific coast
prior to it's passage, while the Judges
contend to the contrary. The Chinese
Consul here is becoming more 1mpertl-
nent and overbearing, and with the con-
currence of the State Department at
Washington is likely to make the amend
ed act as imperative as the old act
Colonel Bee, the Chinese Consul, recent
ly boosted in the District Court that ne.
had caused about sixty rulings of the col
lector of the port of San Francisco to oe7
reversed in Washington.
The latest ia this matter is that the Gus
tom house has decided that it alone was,
competent to issue certificates whether
to merchants or labo-erS, and so notified
the Chinese Consul. The latter commu-
nicated with Washington and Secretary
Frelinghuysen decided that Chinese con-
suIate certificates should be treated as;
nrima faoie evidence. Later still, upon
the arrival of TIE. last China steamer
fourteen Chinese were found on board
equipped with Chinese consular certiti-
Gates. They were not allowed to land at,
once, and the Chinese Consul again tele-.
oraphed to Mr. FIeiinghuysen, in re-
suonse to which the following dispatch
was received at The Custom-house:
WASHINGTON, D. c.. July31.

lector of the port to Washington, and the
action of tile State Department was
based entirely upon the representation

he noticed that The Washington authors

Court here holds the Chinese consular

It transpired last night that the steamer
sebenca had been running for several
days with broken crank pin, scarcely
half an inch remaining in the socket and
keeping the machinery from a general
smash up, ana the passengers from
probable loss of life. 1t was this boat
which Blaine took yesterday, and in the.
engine room of which, right over the
broken pin, he sat in conversation with
the engineer. The company has tele-
graphed for the steamer Queen City, of
Bangor, to take the Sebenca's place until
the latter is repaired.
Such has been the amount of travel
