TAP DAY.

tttC SttOC- thOIf SAN viz
The shoe manufacturers, dealers, ana their
clerks celebrated Tap-Day yesterday Inc
weather was a delight to the eyes OF the
former, although hardly such as the excur-
sionist selects, but for all that the "toot-coV-
erers" had frst-rate time. When the par
ty left the Preble House at 7.45 a. M, they
filed five barges and several private carrla-
ges, and numbered eighty-fve in all. Inc
route to the Ocean House was enlivened by
music and jest, and when the hotel was
reached they were warmly welcomed by the
landlord, Mr.. G. ID. Dresser, in the heartiest
fashion. An excellent clam boil was imme-
diately provided for the party in the large
shed attached to the house, in place Of the
bake which it had been intended to provide
outdoors but which was abandoned on ac-
count of the weather.
After breakfast the party amused them
selves with indoor games and chat until din
ner when a delicious dinner was provided.
The following was the menu:
SOUP.
Boiled Cod-Egg Sauce. Fried CLANS.
ENTREES.

Tea. Coffee.
After dinner, during the cessation of the
showers, the boya passed ball out of doors,
but it was too wet for any game, and at $50
p. M, the first delegation left for home, fol-
lowed by the others, the last load reaching
the city at s p. m. All were very much de-
lghtedwith the excursion and the excellent
arrangements of the committee.
Mr.. Dresser left nothing undone to make
his guests feel at home. The house is kept
in admirable shape and already there is
large number of boarders at the hotel, and
the rooms will be taken later in the season.

WARRINGTON, August 5.-The Acting Sec
retary OF the Treasury has received .
letter from the Collector of Customs at
San Francisco in regard to the landing
Of Chinese who claim to be entitled to such
privilege because they are seamen belonging
to crews OF vessels arriving in that port.
1t appears that such Chinese are allowed
to land without any. guarantee for their
departure from the United States on the
theory that such q practice is authorized
by the ruling OF the department in the case
OF Wing Hong. He was q seaman ON a
was permitted to land in accordance
with decision of the United States Circuit
Court Of New York, to the effect that Chi
nese seamen temporarily arriving in the
United States on his vessel might land for
the purpose OF obtaining employment on
another vessel leaving the United States,
provided he gave security to reship within
thirty days. Secretary Fairchild in a letter
to the Collector at San Francisco on the
subject says that the practice at that port
seems to have been outside OF said decision,
inasmuch sit appears that not only Chinese
seamen. but Chinese stowaways have been
permlCCeO 10 l0nQ under the Rul9e OF
seamen without any formality or CIV
ing any security for their appearance
Mr., Fairchild adds that in his
opinion that only such seanen are
entitled to land in the United States
under said decisions rs are Obliged in the
ordinary pursuit of their calling to leave
their ship for the purpose of obtaining en-
ployment on another vessel in which to re-
turn, or leave the United States. But that
no such Chinese seaman should be allowed
to land until he first makes proper appli-
cation to either the Surveyor or Collector
for that purpose. aod after furnishing
proper security either by his recoguizance
or otherwise, receive permission to do SO.
He also says that the San Francisco Com.
panys should not be permitted to land
their Chinese crews without first making
application and then giving security for OBJ
tanning permission.

but his face and head much resembles

contend that Gilmore mistook Krumm for
Spies, and that the former instead OF light

more than harmful pipe.

Esquimaux, and his wife have arrived here
from Okkak. Labrador. He says that the

six days they feasted upon the corpses Of
whites and Indians who had died. When

when about twenty.four miles from Cape
Mugford they were attacked by white bears
and all the party except two, who made
their way to Cape Mugfordf were killed.

bonds were dull and shade lower. The
bullish feeling in stocks was very pro-
nounced this morning. and there was u
rush to buy stocks. Over one-half OF tho
days business was transacted at an ea,ly
hour. Quotations advanced throughout
the list. There was no news of impor-
tance, but in early dealings there was active
trading in Union Pacific, which rose ! per
cent, chiefly due to the adjournment uf
Congress, which relieves all apprehension
of averse legislation. Although buying to-
day was general, the most pronounced
movements were in specialties. The open
ing prices were almost invariably higher.
The Western Union was the only notable
exception, with a decline OF 4 per cent.
Advances ranged from : to 4. After
slight period Of hesitancy the market he.
came extremely active and strong through.
out the entire list. The activity, however,
ended with the Grst hour. as did also sd
vances, except for specialties. quiet and
steady market succeeded, which continued
until the close OF business.
