THE EXCLUSION ACT.
The Treasury Department Wants a Little
Cash to Enforce Its Proyi.ions

The Treasury Department Wants a Little
Cash to Enforce Its Provisions.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1G.-Acting Secretary
Thompson has addressed letter to Con-
gress inviting attention to the necessity Of
making some appropriation for carrying
into effect the provisions of the Chinese
Exclusion act. He says: "The enforce
ment of the act necessarily devolscs. in
the first instance, upon the collectors of
the several ports of entry in the United
States. and from the very nature OF the
service, must require the maintenance Of a
special force of inspectors. guards and
other employees. and a. entry NAV be ef-
fected INTO the United States. not only at
the ports upon the Atlantic. Pacific and
Gulf coasts, but also across the Canadian
and Mexican border lines. it is evident
that considerable force must be
eventually employed in order to ef-
fectually enforce the provisions OF the
act 1t would be difficult to give a de-
tailed estimate of the expenditures which
might be required for this purpose, but it
is recommended that an initial appropria-
ton of $4,000 be made: aud enclose the
draft of a provision. 10 be inserted in some
proper appropriation bill if this recon-

Congress. As the act relates to- and in .

be properly paid out of the immigrant
fund. provided for by the act OF Angus. .,

theater erected to assist in the annual
celebration Of Quincy.
A grand stand with a seating capacity
of $500 had been provided for those wish

il was crowded when at eight O'Clock. Just
as the first rocket was fired. the supports
at the west end gave way and the entire
structure, 600 feet long. wavered and fell
to the ground, carrying with it mass of
living freight.
The night was very dark and through
all arose the groaus and cries of the i'm
prisoued multitude. Those who had pres
ence of mind at once set about ext-icating
those who were secure by the debris, and
stretchcrs wire procured as quickly as
possible and the wounded conveyed from
the scene to adjacent houses, which We're

As far as could be learned there were
not less than 80 injured and half OF that
number received serious wounds. The
only fatal injury reported was that Of A.
bert Wells. an attorney of this city. and 4
candidate for the Legislature. No hope is
entertained Of his recovery.
The excitement was so great all Il ght

Another Passenger Rate War.

DENVER, Col. Oct. 10.-A war in pas.
senger rates to the East was inaugurated
here yesterday afternoon which reduced
rates to Missouri river points nearly
one-third and proportiona,ely to other
Eastern points The Missouri Pacific
claimed to have received positive inforna-
ton that the Santa Fe had been selling
tickets from Pueblo to Kansas City for So.
As this was a cut rate the Missouri Pacific
posted bulletin in front Of its Office that
they had reduced rates to Kansas City
from sls15 70 sla: to Sc. Louis from Ss5.65
to $3.50; to Chicago rom s3o.65 70 $50;
and to New York from Si9.05 to so. 80.
This reduction was promptly met by the
Burlington, Union Pacific and Santa Fe.

THE EyGTNEFR TO BLAME.
CHEROKEE GRAZING LANDS.
Chief Wages Angry With Treasurer Ross
The Cattleinen Notified to Surrender.


TAHLEoCAH, l. T., Oct. 11.-R. B. Ross,
Treasurer OF the Cherokee Nation, recently
assumed the authority to lease the strip
to the Cherokee Strip Livestock Associa-
ton for three months from October l. in
direct conflict with the views OF Chief
Mayes. The lease money was paid on the
basis of $4,000 a year. Ed Hewins, pres
ident of the Cherokee Livestock Asso-
citation, was here in conference with the
Chief a few days ago and it was then
thought by the Chief that an arrangement
would be made whereby the Strip men
could stay until the Council in November.
This was satisfactory in part TO the Chief,
but the three months lease did not please
him and he issued a proclamation demand
ing surrender of all improvements, etc,
by the cattlemen, notwithstanding the
agreement had with Treasurer Ross, and
notifying them that If they failed they
would be driven from the country.

ABOUT HORSEPOWER.
Its Application to the Measurement of {
Capacity OF Boilers.


Capacity of Boilers
A great deal of trouble has arisen
from the application of the horse
power to the measurement of the ca
pacity of steam-boilers. The boiler il
but one factor in the power-producing
system. 1t furnishes the force. 1t is
the magazine where is accumulated
and stored the pressure resulting from
the conversion of the latent energy of
coal into that of steam: but this force
requires to be exerted through space
against resistance. through the length
of an engine cylinder. against the re-
sistance to movement of the piston
which it forces. to effect the develop
ment of power. Now some engines
use steam much more economically
than others. and a boiler which could
furnish steam to develop power at the
rate of one hundred horses with the
best Of these might not be able to do
thirty-horse power with the worst.
Now what is the horsepower of the
boiler2" The capacity of boiler for
developing power depends upon its
ability to convert water into steam.
To meet the complications which arose
from this cause. the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers appointed a
committee to investigate the subject
of the commercial rating of boilers.
and they adopted as standard the
evaporation of thirty pounds of water
per hour from feed water of one hun
dred degrees F. into steam at seventy
pounds pressure to constitute a horse
power. Some engines can develop a
horsepower on this number OF pounds
of steam per hour, others can not, and
many can on less, yet it is about the
average present practice and supplies
a unit with some degree of prestige or
authority for the settlement of dis
putes upon the subject. - Wood

An ArkanSaw Traveller Becomes

LOUISVILLE, KY, June S.-Edmund
Robinson, an aged farmer of Newton,

He was travelling with his wife from his

hour after the train left Paducah, he
suddenly began to yell, and when his
wife tried to quiet him, he seized her

sharp struggle. He was chained to a
seat, and when he arrived here was
foaming at the mouth and tugging at
his shackles. His brother was notified
