China VIII Retaliate.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26.- The
Chinese Times, received by steamer this
afternoon, contains a letter signed by a
Pekin official and written Just after the
news reached China that the United
States senate had passed the Chinese ex-
clusion bill. The following is an extract
taken from the letter:
IF the obnoxious American bill should
be carried into effect there will be no
other course open for China, consistent
with her dignity as a nation, than to
adopt retaliatory measures by prohibiting
citizens of the United States from coming
to China. This will by no means be pro-
portionate to the harm done to Chinese
interests in America, but it will have to
be done in order to show
that the Chinese can do the
same thing, and if this will have no
effect in bringing the United States con-
gress and its government to reason and
fairness, then it will be a question for
China to consider whether it is not time
for her to cancel their treaties made with
that country, to recall her subjects from
there, to expell United States citizens
from this country, and to cease all rela-
tions and intercourse, diplomatic and COM
mercial, with that country"
New YORK, Oct. 26.-The following
circular has just reached the Chinese
merchants of New York from their home
offices in Hong Hong and Shanghai:
"GenHenten: You are hereby notified
that you are to Immediately discontinue
to purchase the following articles from
American markets as they are being
severely boycotted by Kim Maid, by
members of trades unions and other citi-
zen These are the articles now pro-
scribed: Petroleum, white sheeting, all
kinds of American calico, watches, Amer
lean fire arms, ginseng root, and -four"
With the exception of a few Chinese
firms in New York the above circular
will have no effect, but many San Fran
CISCO firms will feel it more severely as
several of them are heavy dealers in
American -four, petroleum and cotton
goods.

Hard to Keep Out.

Ell PAso, Oct. 26.-The task of en-
forcing the Chinese exclusion act proves
no easy one along the Mexican frontier.
Ell Paso, Tex, and Paso Del Norte, Mex,
are separated only by the Rio Grande,
which is at present practically forbade
for ten months in the year. There are
200 or 200 Cinnamon IN the two cities
and heretofore they crossed freely from
one to the other. Collector Magofin is
enforcing the laws as fully as his small
force OF inspectors will permit, but it is
an easy matter for the Chinese to violate
them. Moreover, Cinnamon can easily
come on the Mexican Central railroad
from Guaymas or other Pacific points and
slip across the line into the United
States.

Our NaVY's Needs.

WASHINGTON. Oct. %. Admiral
Porter in his annual report to the secre=
tary Of the navy says in regard to the APP
prentice system that it is one of the best
features of the navy. He says:
The crews of our ships are generally
made up of sailors from every part of the
world, but mostly of the Scandinavian
race, good reliable men in time of peace,
who care little under what flag they sail.
They have no sentiment for our flag or
nationality and possibly, if it came TO ac-
ton with a ship of their own, or a neigh
boring nation. they would haul down the
American colors and hoist their own.
This is a contingency against which We
should provide and we have the means of
doing so through the vast number of
American boys who are roaming the
streets at will and who would consider
government employment a boon. What
is required is a larger number of native
born apprentice boys and the enlarge
ment OF c~onvenleuces for their introduc-
ton into the service.
On the subject of torpedoes, Admiral
Porter says: The torpedoes no doubt can
W hUt a IO"SA ahJulSN W OlLCI udNtl
appliances, but as matters now stand the
torpedo would be comparatively useless
against the heavily armored ships with
power guns. which would hold their own
Notwithstanding they might be hampered
with nets. Great ships with great guns
will command the situation and having
once effected entrance into q harbor,
can by the aid of their electric lights send
a diver to the bottom and cut the wires
connecting the submerged mines.
Our country more than any other stands
in need of torpedo vessels of from 900
to 1900 tons displacement until we can
get our new navy fairly started. This
class of vessels could be built much more
rapidly than cruiser or armor clad, their
batteries to be not larger than six inch
rifles and fitted with machine and rapid
firing guns. No matter whether we bring
dynamite shells and torpedo vessels to
perfection or not, our policy will be to
build fast cruisers and heavy armorclads
like the Puritan, Maine and Texas. These
are heavy artillery, which in battle have
the decided contest and will continue to
do SO, or the ingenuity of man will always
c%ontrivc some plan to protect the prime
factors, the great ships, from the annoy
ances of the small fry.

Apnihnating a Multiform Disease.

Miasmatic, or malarial, disease has
many forms. Physicians have, for the
sake of convenience and for the purpose
of indicating its most strongly marked
forms, subdivided it into intermittent and
bilious remittent fever, dumb ague and
ague cake. But it presents an infinite
variety of symptoms in different individ-
uals. Be these symptoms what they will,
always remember hat Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters will annihilate them at the
outset, and prevent their recurrence. A
review of the proofs would convince any
one of the fact. This, however, is impos.
sible because they are too numerous, and
unnecessary because the effects of this
grand anti malarial specific are a matter
Of common knowledge. No less familiar
to the public are its remedial and pre-
y%entive effects in bilious attacks, consti.
patton, dyspepsia, incipient rheumatism,
debility and kidney troubles. 1t is more
over. an excellent appetizer and tonic

Carter was hanged here this morning for
the murder of John Jeffrey. Oct. 4, 1886.
Alone, respondent, remorseful, relig-
iously penitent, cognizant that he had
but few sympathizers and no friends, the
murderer last night on earth was more
trying than any ordeal through which he
had yet passed. Not a word he uttered to
HIS ONLY COMPANION,
the death watch. The night seemed in
terminable and Carter aged ~perceptibly
during the final twelve hours of his exis-
tence. AT times his forehead rested on
his hands and he was buried in thought,
but a philosopher would have succumbed
under the strain of such meditations as
his. A cigarette was continually between
his lips. Occasionally he perused his
prayer book for a few minutes and once
or twice sang a few lines Of Nearer My
God to Thee in a heavy voice which
sounded strangely in
H SILENT JAIL.
Garter j~oyously greeted the advent of
day, but expressed disappointment over
the weather. for it was a clustering morn
ing. There was a stiff breeze and the air
was filled with snow. He ate heartily of
plain food and delved into his spiritual
comforter. At S:45 Rev. DR.. Hunting
ton, the officiating clergyman, was admit
ted to the felon's cell. An hour later
twenty three acquaintance, your reporter
among others, filed through the outer cor
ridor and bid farewell to Carter. He
grasped the hand of each and his lips
quivered as he tremblingly said:
GOOD BYE"
The visitors gone, the man walked up
and down the inner corridor with shackles
clanking at every step. At $50 County
Physician Ricketts, and Sheriff High Wis
tied Garter and told him that the execu-
ton would occur in ten minutes. When
given a drink of whisky the subject be-
came calm. and he coolly asked that his
time be extended an hour. The promise
was made but broken. Carter had no
means of knowing the time and failed to
notice the breach of faith. Carriers
heavy footwear was changed for slippers,
he Directing to
MEETING HIS FATE 1 N BOOTS.
The slippers were large and he remarked
that while loose" he would not lose
them. The procession left the cell at
1920 O'Clock. Carter, nerved by relig-
ious faith, unfalteringly walked to the
gallows and took the position assigned to
him on the trap. He effusively thanked
the sheriff and preacher for past kind
ness. To DIR. Ricketts, he smiled and
said:
I'm ABOUT TO LEAVE YOU"
The moose was fitted nicely just before
the black cap was forced over his head
and Garter, with a quick glance about
him, remarked that he would
MEET THE SPECTATORS AGAIN.
His arms and legs were strapped, a
secret signal given to the sheriff who was
stationed below and the weight Irvine sew
cred. The trap swung backward and
Carter dropped downward like a shot.
His neck was broken at the end of a four
foot fall and he was pronounced dead in
five and one-half minutes. There was no
struggle.
An inquest was held and the remains
were inferred this afternoon.

Carter was hanged here this morning.
His neck was broken by the fall and

New YORK, Oct. 26.-Considerablc
