TIE CHINESE HABEAS CORPUS.
The Right to the Writ Cannot be Denied
In America.

SAN Francisco, October 12.-united
States District Attorney Hilborn to-day
filed a plea OF intervention in the United
States District Court in the cases OF Jung
All Lung and Kung All How, denying their
right to come before the courts OF wrlts OF
habeas corpus. He held that the matter
was purely executive and one which the
Chinese Minister at Washington and the
Secretary Of State should determine, as un-
der the act of May 6, 1882, the Port Col
lector was made the sole judge regarding
Chinese credentials on landing in this coun-
try. Judge Hoffman said that the question
of DENYING one the right Of habeas corpus
in this country was unprecedented and Mr..
Hilborn's plea not we'll taken. The de-
m,rer of the Chinamen's counsel was sus-
tanned. The case will be appealed to the
(jrcuit Court.

ONLY $4,000.
How the First National Bank was
Robbed Of That Sum.

Several days ago mention was made OF
the fact that a clever swindler from Oregon
had succeeded in beating the First National
Bank at Helena, and the First National
Of this city OF a large sum OF money. AS
Mr.. Hyde was absent at the time OF the
discovery no details could be obtained, but
it has now transpired hat he was made q
,ir:isn to the tame vi 50, 900 by one OF the
It's: ;t:.Iuit aad audacious swindlers who
ever operated in the West. The story OF
the theft is about as follows: Some time
ago a letter was received by the First Ma
tional Bank, written on paper OF the First
ing to be signed by the cashier of that in
stitution, the signature being d fine forgery.
The letter stated that in a few days Mr..
Whitney, who was one OF their customers,
would be in Butte on business and would
have with him certain certificates OF deposit
on this bank. AS he would need money,
they asked that he be accommodated with
any sum equal to the certificate. La
due time Whitney came along,
presented a letter Of introduction, stated
that he was about to engagein a cattle trade,
and at the same time handed in his ccrtl i
cate OF deposit on the Albany Bank for
$500. The man has a thorough business
dir about him, but Mr.. Hyde took tine pre-
caution to compare the signatures ana
blanks with others on file in the bank and
so clever was the forgery that he was de
ceived. Whitney asked for and obtained
$4,000, and left the other $500 as an
open deposit, stating that he would check
against it as he needed it, and then smil-
ingly departed and has not been heard OF
since. He played exactly the same game
at Helena, but only drew $1,000 in cash
and left 50 600 on deDOSit. As soon as the
fraud was discovered, warning was tele-
graphed to all the banks in the vicinity in
the nope to put a further stop t" the ca
reer Of the accomplished swindler: The
Helena Independent states that Whitney
registered at the Cosmopolitan hotel in
that city October 1st, and after being
around a couple OF days left without pay
ing his bill, but leaving a valisc and other
baggage behind him. The valise was opened.
A box OF rubber stamps, such as are com-
monty used by banks, hearing the words
'Cancelcd," 'Certifed,' etc, etc, was
found. A large sea! was also found, besides
many papers.

REEcHER on THE CARDINAL.

Plymouth church, Brooklyn, was throng-
ed yesterday by an unusually attentive au-
dience who believed Rey. Henry Ward
Beecher would make some reference to the
death OF the Cardinal. Beecher spoke on
the Resurrection and translation OF the
spiritual in man to heaven. In conclusion
he said: THAT dear old man who has gone
up from among those who loved him leaves
behind his Cardinals throne the purple OF
his robes and his tiara. 1t was well enough
he should have them and the symbols OF
his authority, but the moment he emerged
into that other life he stood in his spiritual
entirety where his temple was his Lord.
When be lifts his venerable head he will be
~young-young in the presence OF his God
and he will remain with those he consigned
to destruction, for they will be there too. l
rejoice in his translation as | do OF all the
saints. This is the testimony OF Il Protes-
tant. Remember, you could not make a
Catholic out OF me any more than you could
make an eagle chained in a barn yard lay
eggs.
