rs BOYCoTTING CRIMINAL?
Important Decision by Federal Judge in
San Francisco in an Anti-ChineSe Case.

SAN Francisco, April 1.-The United States
anxious to hear the decision in the case of T.
Baldwin, one Of those who drove the Chinese
out Of the town of Nicolaus. Baldwin's case was
selected to establish precedent for many that
may arise He was arrested by the United
States marshal, and applied for writ of habeas
corpus, claiming that the offense was not one
which came under the jurisdiction of the United
States courts. Judges Sawyer and Sabin sat in
banc in the case. This morning Judge Sawyer
decided that the offense came within the juris-
diction Of the United States laws For the sake
OF having difference of opinion. Judge Sabin
taken to the Supreme Court on the disagree
ment In rendering the decision Judge
Sawyer said: 1.-THE charge on which
the prisoner was arrested was the charge
OF conspiracy to deprive the Chinese residents of
the town OF Nicolaus of the rights of holding
property andsearning living, as guaranteed by
the treaty with China and the Constitution of
the United States. The question is one of vast
consequence to the entire Chinese population Of
the United States. It Is of international conse-
auence, involving the honor and good faith Of
the United States. 1t is positively a question Of
peace or war. If this section of the statute is
valid as TO the Chinese subjects residing in the
United States, and embraces the acts set out in
the petition and returns, then the acts of all
publis meetings throughout the land providing
for depriying Chinese subjects OF the rights

TO them by our treaties with China by the means

coerciye means. no matter in what form or
through what channel applied, are criminal, and

to the very severe penalties prescribed by stat
ute. can preceive no way OF escaping this con-
ciueion.s

Liberal Award of Credit Which Has Not
Yet Been Earned.
Special to the indianapolis Joarnar.
WASHINGTON, March 81. Representative John
j. O'Neill, of Missouri, has been the subject of a
great deal of favorable comment during the past
few days growing out Of his alleged attempt to
secure an understanding between Jay Gould and
the knights of Labor. 1t was said last Monday
that Mr.. ONeili had been sent as an embassa-
dor from the President. and that he had urged
Gould to accept arbitration as the best means
for bringing about settlement of the difficulties
between his railroads and the strikers, and in
congressional and labor circles here, O'Neill was
awarded great deal of praise for his supposed
success in inducing Mr.. Gould to terms. It
seems, however. that O'Neill has been receiving
more credit than was due him. and that he did
not go as an emissary of the President or any
one else to the scene OF battle. The stories to
the effect that the President has been trying for
some time to induce Gould to listen to reason
are denied at the White House. This does not
signify great deal, as denials made there to
order upon any and all subjects with the greatest
dispatch. Still, it is hardly likely that Mr. Cleves
land has taken hand in this difficulty without
having been asked to do SO by some of the parties
interested

The Significance of It's Reference to the
House Committee on Labor
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The most important
movement in Congress, perhaps, for some time,
was the action of the House on Monday in re-
ferring the new educational bill to the commit
tee on labor. The attempt was made and sue
ceeded by majority of some twenty five votes,
and, with this majority to start with, Willis ar3
his friends anticipate that they can pass the bin
in spite of the opposition. It is rather amusing
to hear the explanations of men who voted on
the measure on Monday last No one seems to
desire to be regarded as favorng the bill, be-
cause he voted with Willis. John D. Long, Of
Massachusetts,. who was the most prominent
man on Williss side, explained his vote by say
ing that he opposed the summary method OF
straneling legislation which had been adopted
by the committee on education. and that
he did not desire to seem TO
favor the policy of allowing a COM
mittee to determine whether or not
a measure was fit for discussion. Governor
Long added that he should never be willing to
resort to so extreme course unless the meas
ure under consideration was so obnoxious to
him as to make it desirable to kill it by any
means. The educational bill, he said, was not
so bad as to warrant this step. and for this rea-
son he voted to bring il before the house, in
order that its merits and demerits might be
fully set forth. He did not wish to be regarded
as having indicated his course toward TIE bill
on the final vote by voting to take its considera
ton away from the committee on education.
On the other hand, Mr.. Cannon. of Illinois,
who may favor the bill. voted against the
change in committee, and explained himself
by saying that he did so because he I'D
not desire to adopt this method of robuking
committee which might be considered dereiict
in its duty. He believed that the course for the
House to have pursued would have besn to have
instructed the committee to report the bill either
favorably or adversely He voted against Willis
this time. not because he opposed the bill, but
because he opposed the plan to insult the COM
mittee on education 1t is not probable that the
bill be reached at this session, even if flavor
able report should be made by the committee.
The bare majority by which it was removed
from the charge of the committee on education
and placed before the committee on LABOR is not
sufficient to insure suspension of the rules and
the setting apart of day for its consideration,
and Il ID now so late in the session. aud there are
so many measures ahead of it Oh the calendar,
that it is practically impossible to reach it in the
regular course of business.

The End Not Yet Reached.

Charleroi Special.
1t has been no question of strikers with which
the military had to deal, or have to now. 1t was
an oreie an anarchist saturnalia with pillage,
fire and industrial ruin. Vindicating the rights
Of labor was monstrous pretense. The basin
OF Charleroi has been swept as by moral pesti-
lence From Liege to Mons, the great industrial
center of the country has been given up to a
revolution Of crime. It's mines iron foundries.
glassworks, factories and the residences of their
owners have been destroyed, and all its wealth
of capital has been scattered to the winds. The
stories with which the press has been filled day
by day are those incident to times of war rather
than of peace. One must go back to the days of
the Commune for any approach to a parallel
with the reckless violence which has laid waste
the great works that were the glory of the in
dustrial enterprise of Belgium 1t would have
entailed fearful loss to have enforced simply a
reign Of idleness throughout these districts; but
what has been done is far more disastrous. The
insanity Of idleness passed into the madness OF
delusion.
The cry of mo more work" drove willing work
people into the streets. Workshops and factories,
with all their costly machinery and stores of
finished work, or work in progress, have been
wrecked, and their contents have been given up
to fire and robbery. mo more work." it is to be
feared, will become something more than the
delusion of men drunk with the frenzy OF success
The end is not even yet. The military and these
masses of misguided workmen are facing each
other at every point Blood has been shed in
the maintenance of order, and unless submission
follows speedily more will be shed, or the coun-
try will pass into the stage of active revolution
In such a struggle the workers have everything
to lose, and one can regard their immediate
future without misgiving. You may distrust all
reports of the riot being paciEed. They have
killed the golden goose of capital, and the reac-
tion is likely to lead to desperation.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10.
Yesterday was a day of excitement in Ell
Paso, owing to many rumors about Cutting
and the probability of the two governments
going to war over the affair. Shortly after
dark last night some thirty shots, fred by
Mexican troops across the Rio Grande after
party of deserters, caused the widest excite
ment in the city, everyone believing that hos
tilties had commenced in earnest. Arms for
a company of minute men recently organized
were distributed and the city council held
secret session and adopted measures for re-
sisting any attacks from the Mexicans. When
the cause of the firing became known, how
ever, matters quieted down.
A gentleman who came up on the Mexican
Central last night to Ell Paso said that tel
egraph operator caught information off the
wire between Paso del Norte and Chihuahua.
The dispatches were from officers at Paso del
Norte, who telegraphed to the governor of
pChhauhus that there was danger of an at
tempt from Ell Paso to rescue Cutting. This
order came promptly back:
I'm case of any attempt to rescue Cutting
cut off his head and present it to the rescuers
with my compliments"
Late dispatches to the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat last night from Ell Paso state that
Cutting wa. brought before the court at Paso
del Norte yesterday, and informed that his
case had been appealed to the supreme court
of the State and the appeal granted
In the situation at Paso del Norte in the
Cutting case there is but little that is new.
Cutting sent telegram to Gov. Ireland last
evening asking his prote ction. This was
sent against the urgent advice of Consul
Brigham, who thinks that at the present juno
ture all dispatches are i'll advised.
Citizens of Ell Paso, Tex. yesterday formed
three volunteer companies to protect the city
and guard it against surprise from the other
side. Paso del Norte is full of Mexican SOL
diers and all sorts of rumors are in circula-
ton.
The friends of Gov. Ireland at Mineola,
Tex, are jubilant over the endorsement of
his policy and that city is full of excitement
10 favor of the United States, taking de-
cided stand against Mexico. There could be
1000 men raised there for the Mexican war.
At a mass meeting last night resolutions were
passed favoring immediate war with Mexico.
Georgia is ablaze with the Mexican excite
ment and in every considerable town in the
State volunteers are ready to go to Mexico.
1t was not until recently that the excitement
became so great that it could no longer be
suppressed. Two new companies have been
organized. This gave rise to rumors that
they were wanted for immediate service, and
