JUST how differently Iowa acts from
Ohio in similar case may be seen in the
following dispatch from Sioux city to the
Chicago Daily Neaos. The record of So
called Justice in this case is a scandal to
the State, and disgraceful to all concerned
in the abortive transaction:
County Attorney Marsh and his associates
IN the trial of the assassins of the Rev.
george Y. Haddock are in grave doubt as to
the advlsabIlity of continuing the prosecu-
tons. The acquital of ohm Arensdorf dem
onstrated that the State cannot make a case
against the indicted men before Wood
bury County jary. The State of Iowa never
presented clearer line of evidence against
an accused man than that shown in the Sec
ond trial of Arensdorf, yet he was liberated
IN three minutes after the jury retired. The
business men of Sioux City feted the attor-
neys Tor the defence, giving them gold head
ed canes and binding their brows with lau-
rels as successful defenders of human liber.

WANAMAKER'S SUIT.


New YORK, Oct. 15.-It was said at the Gus
tom-house yesterday that under the decision of
the United States Circuit Court at philadelphia,
in the case of John Wanamaker against the
United States, the government would probably
have to refund anywhere from $1,000, 900 to
O,000,0 900. The suit was brought to recover
$l4S alleged excess Of duty paid on some silk
ribbon that had been imported, and the court
held that the psintiff was entitled to recover it
under the tariff law adopted in 1883 The Treas
ury Department has held that silk ribbon came
under the section of the tariff which made silk
liable to duty of so per cent ad valoren, and
oil silk ribbons have been subjected to this duty
Section 44S Of the Revised Statutes reads as
follows: Hats, aud so forth, materials for;
oraids, plaits, flats, laces, trimmings tissues.
willowsheet and squares used for making or
namentine hats, bonnets and hoods composed Of
straw. chip, grass, palm leaf, willow, hair.
whalebone or any other substance material
not specially enumerated or provided for in this
act, 20 per centum ad vaio-em."
In the case In question the claim was that the
snk ribbons was im ported to be used In orna-
menting bonnets, and the court decided that
under the wording Of the act the ribbon was
only liable for duty Of 20 per cent. instead Of
o0, and the difference must be refunded. A
large number OF actions will probably be brought
st once, ~ this Was test case.

THE MUD RUN ACCIDENT.
Testimony 0i the Brakeman Who Went Back
to Flag the Approaching Train.

MAUCH CHUNK, Oct. 15.-The coroner's jury
investigating the Mud run accident resumed its
session this afternoon. James Harrigan, the
brakeman on Section 4, testified that he went
back with red and white lights and torpedoes,
but said he never knew of the ruls which re-
uured brakemen to go back halt a mile. and
lid not think it was necessary to walk that far.
When he got beyond the platform of the station
he heard one long whistle, and thought it was
an answer to his flag. but when he saw the
train coming at what he judged to be twenty
miles an hour be tagged them again.
Henry Cook the engineer OF the first engine,
testified that be was running Sc the rate of
twelve or fourteen miles an hour, but saw
signals at the station. When rounding the
surse he heard two blasts from the engine be-

nearer TO the station he saw

track and applied the brake to his engine. but

THE w HEN
TIE CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT.
A United States Circuit Court Affirms Its
Yalidity-Notice of Appeal Served.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 15.-Judge Sawyer an
Court, to-day, in two cases under the Chinese
exclusion act The court holds that the act Is
constitutional, and that its provisions apply to
Chinese now in port on shipboard, to those on
the way from China, and to those still in China.
lt is estimated that this decision will affect
about thirty-three thousand Chinese; as there
are over thirty thousand return certificates still
outstanding, and il is believed that there
are now about three thousand Cinnamon in
their native country who had lived here before
the restriction act was passed. and who. before
passage Of the exclusion bill, would have been
entitled to return to this country under
claim OF being "prior residents" About
600 Chinese have arrived In this port
since approval Of the exclusion act, and about
seven hundred others are now on the way
from China The decision or the court, which
is very lengthy, declares that the language Of
the act is clear ane exact, and capable OF bear
ing out one construction. IL begins to operate
from the moment II Was approved by the Presi-
dent, and though the petitioners in these cases
were upon the high seas at the time the act was
approved, II nevertheless operates upon them.
Court further declares there IL no specific con-
tract between the United States government
and Individual Chinese laborers by which the
latter should be entitled TO return to this conn
try after once departing from 1t: the return
certihcafe IS not contract, but only
an instrument of evidence to establish the iden-
tity or the party already entitled to certain priv
neges under the compact between the United
States and the Chinese governments like other
laws that confer rights and privileges as long as
they are 10 force, and the court holds tha, the
right OF Congress 10 legisate IN euch manner as
to control and repeal stpulations OF treaties has
been clearly recognized. The act of Congress

On the same subject; both are bind.
Ing. except as the latter
ficts or interferes with the former Upon the
other roint argued By counsel for the Chinese,
that the exclusion act Is unconstitu tional on &C
count OF its being az ex post facto law. the court
states: I'VE do not fnd any element of ex post
facto law In the act now in question. There 10
nothing in the nature of offsnss In ChInaman's 9
departure from the couotry, and his departure
is not made an ofeuse, and there is nothing in
the nature OF the punishment or of the penalty
imposed for the act Of having departed from this
country providing for the people of the
United States, under the change Of public policy
that he shall not return; there is simply re-
peal by Congress of a prior law found in the
stpulations of the treaty with China"
The counsel for the Chinese gave notice they
would appeal the cases TO the United States Su-
preme Court.
