HE'S IN MEXICO.
That is, the Author Of the Letter to
Minister West

A special dispatch to the Chicago News
from Albuquerque, n. M, says: While
detectives are scouringsouthern California
to find the correspondent of Lord Sackville-
West the man is here in New Mexico and
wrote his letter from this territory. These
are indisputable facts. The supposed Chas.
Murchison is in reality Charles +. Lummis.
He is the st. Louis Globe Democrat cores
pendent, staunch republican, and Simon
pure Englishman of eccentric habits, bitter
in his denunciation of the democratic party.
About three years ago he came through
this territory on n pedestrian tour across
the continent. Reaching Los Angeles, Cal,
he secured a position on the Times where
he remained until few months ago, when
he came TO New Mexico for the benefit of
his health. He wrote his letter TO Lord
Sackville as campaign trick, and hopes TO
reap notOriety from the scheme.
Lummis is at present at San Mateo, n
small Mexican village in Valencia county,
visitor in a family of Bacons, who are
hot-headed republicans and where he is en-
gagged in writing up sensational literature.

The Chinese Will Come In.

There is evidently a large number Of
the Chinese arriving at the British colonial
ports from China, and are not destined to
remain in Canada, but are taking this
means of smuggling themselves into the
United States at the boundary dividing
that province from Washington territory.
They have TO pay $50 tax per head on land
ing, which they willingly do with pros
pect Of getting into the United States be-
fore them.
A minister of customs who has just re-
turned from the Pacific coast, where he
has been looking into the Chinese question,
says: mo matter how stringent the Unit
cd States laws may be, this channel will
always be used by the Chinese for that
purpose. That the friendly relations exist
ing between Great Britain and China may
not be disturbed, the British government
has requested that no more stringent rela
ton than is now in force may be enacted
in Canada against the Chinese"

Blaine's Brother.
From The Nelv YORK Sun.

Robert G.. Blaine, brother of the man
from Maine, who, for several years has
been the Curator of the Agricultural De-
partment, was removed yesterday. His
resignation was brought about by the
pressure of several Democratic Congress
men. They did not see the necessity for
keeping in Office the brother of the Republi-
ca standard bearer, while SO many able
and deserving memners of their own party
have received no recognition from tho adj
miniStration. A Michigan Congressman,
who is member Of the Commit
tee on Agriculture, has been for some
time endeavoring to secure the
removal of Blaine, to give his
place to a constituent, who, for near
ly half century has been hard working,
faithful Democrat, and who is now in needy
circumstances. This man was IA friend and
co-laborcr of William f. Storeys III the
early days of his journalistic career i'll the
West, aud afterward Mayor of one of the
leading cities. Twice ha has boen wealthy,
and now, at 20 years of age, he is still Wig
orOus and active, but his wealth has long
since taken wings. The Commissioner of
Agriculture was 10th to call for Mr.
Blaine's resignation, and for long time
resisted all pressure brought upon him
The Michigan man persisted, however, and
finally secured the assistance Of Chairman
Hatch, of the Agricultural Committee.
Together these Congressman pressed their
case with the Commissioner, aud at last
he gave way and asked Mr.. Blaine to re-
sign. Then the Michigan De nocrat who
was to succeed him was summoned, but
only to be disappointed. 1t was learned
that the appointment of Curator comes
within the civil service law. The place is
therefore, vacant. Mr.. Blaine has had a
rather hard time in retaining places in
Washington. He was for a long time on
the Senate clerical forco undi ,turbed, but
was removed by Secretary who did not
like his brother the Maine statesman, aud
he was equally unfortunate in other places
which he obtained. He is about 50 years
os age Of good standing in Washington,
where he lives with his family in his own
house In feature he much resembles his
magnetic relative, and, like him, Is popular
with his friends, who stick to him through
thick and thin.
