JUNG All LUNG.
Garland Holds the Chinese are not En-
titled to the Habeas Corpus.

WASHINGTON, January 1st.-Attorney-
General Garland has prepared his brief in
the case of Jung Ah Lung. This is the test
Chinese habeas corpus case. coming from
the Circuit Court of the United States in
San Francisco. In September, 1855, Jung
All Young sued out writ of habeas cor
pus before the United States District Court
at San Francisco to discharge him from
imprisonment, as alleged by E. C. Reed,
master OF the steamship San Pablo The
United States intervened in the District
Court and directed the granting of the
prayer of the petition. A trial was had ON
the testimony, and the Court ordered Jung
All Lung to be discharged. From this de-
cision the United States District Attorney
appealed. The argument of the Attorney
General is very brief, and after reciting the
chief points at issue, concludes as follows:
" In the amen datory Act of 1888 such
language as this runs all along: In each
case to be evidenced by certificate, etc,
and all the names and other particulars as
shown by these certificates, ETC. 1t is
perfectly clear, then, that a release on any
evidence short of this is not provided for or
contemplated by law, and it is to be OBJ
served that this amendatory Act, more
stringent than the original Act of NAV,
1882, was passed after time for experience
and practice under the first Act of two
years or more.
1.-THE evidence received at this trial with
out the certificate, whether under the origi-.
nal Act or the amendment to it, was mad
missible. Then it is submitted upon the
whole record that Chung All Lung is not
entitled to be discharged, and the Judgment
of the Court below should be reversed"

How the Famous Frenchman Got Mackay
Into the Wheat Deal.
tCopyg, 1888, by the Cali }oTfaia associated Press
WASHINGTON, January 1st.-The Smday
Capital says: Il hear curious piece of
gossip from the Pacific coast. 1t is well
known that John w. Mackay lost q vast
sum of money last year in the wheat deal.
Mackay's own version of his losses is six
million, but other people say that he lost
ten million, and more than that will be re-
quired to complete the settlement. How
did this happen?
There is an interesting explanation
that has never got into print. Mrs.
Mackay who made her home in Paris un-
til she preferred to change her social head
quarters to London, was intimately ac-
qaainted with the celebrated General
Boulanger, who only one year ago was a
great man in Paris. This gentleman care
fully cultivated spirit of revenge against
Germany, and thought that by precipi-
tating a conflict he could figure as another
Napoleon Bonaparte. He was progressing
with his plans SO well that he gave his
| friend Mrs Mackay the straight tip that
war was about to come, and that it was q
safe time to lay up war supplies. In a
word, to corner the whole supply of wheat
in the world
Mrs. Mackay passed the word TO John
who went at the tremendous job with all
his millions. Just then wise Frenchmen
laid the enterprising Boulanger aside, his
little game not being to their liking, and
poor Mackay had his corner in wheat all tc
himself
Il believe this story, because it is the
only ineligible explanation l ever heard
why as cautious a man as John Mackay
should be involved in such a tremendou;

A DEATH-TRAP.
How BaIfBreed Sioux Landlord Dis
posed of His Guests.

PIERRE (Dak.), January 1st.-For months
certain degree of mystery has surrounded
the movements OF John Lablant, Sioux
Indian half-breed. living ON ranch at
Willow creek, fifteen miles west of this
city. Lablants ranch was formerly the
stopping-place of Black Hills travellers.
Many people who left Pierre for the hills
were never heard from after leaving this
city. A few days ago Lablant was detected
in cattle-stealing. A posse of men was or
ganiZed at Fort Pierre to 90 out and take
the cattle. On reaching the ranch Lablant
was not to be found.
On Friday the Sheriff of this county and
number of citizens proceeded to the ranch
to make a thorough search of the place.
The house was first examined. In the
ballroom of the house, in front of bed,
was observed what appeared to be an open
ing or trapdoor. With an AK this was
pried open and found to hang on hinges,
50 that it would drop when q cord was
pulled, the cord extending from a bolt
nnder the door to the room occupied by
Labiant.
A HORRIBLE DISCOVERY.
On opening the entire trap it was found
to be twelve feet deep and fourteen feet
square. Ladders and lanterns were Sc
cured, and an examination of the cave was
made as soon as the trap was dropped.
The stencil that arose was terrible. An
examination of the cavern revealed the
skeletons of twelve grown human beings
and two smaller ones. No clothing was
found in the hole.
The only article of any kind was an
iron bar, about two feet in length, which,
it is supposed, the fend used TO murder
his victims, after he had dropped them
into this hole. Lablant has not been seen

WASHINGTON, January 1st-The Califor-
mia Representatives are entirely unable to
learn what positions will be assigned them
by Speaker Carlisle upon the committees of
the House. 1t seems to be quite certain
that the Pacific coast will have no repre-
sentative upon the Ways and Means Com
mittee, which will largely determine the
future tariff legislation for the country It
is noticeable fact that but little opposi-
ton seems to be manifest among the Re-
publican members of Congress against Il
reduction of the duty on salt, fruit and
lumber, three Of the most important in
dustries of the Pacific coast. There is
much greater opposition to a reduction of
the duty on wool, but even that seems in
danger of being disturbed.
If the Pacific coast Representatives have
no chance OF being represented upon the
Ways and Means Committee, to defend
their industries and material interests, the
presence here of representatives of these
interests would seem to be required. There
is no occasion for panic, and some of the
best-informed men in the House express
the opinion that nothing will be done this
session except to take the tax off tobacco,
but the importance of the interests at
stake seems too great to be disregarded.
