A Mortgage ON the White House Which
Likely to Be Foreclosed.

A Mortgage on the White House Which is
Likely to Be Forecl0sed.
WASHINGTON, September 2.-There is a
mortgage on the white house. II. B. Har.
low, secretary and treasurer OF the Mount
Vernon Avenue association, speaking of the
project to build a new executive mansion,
said:
II am glad to see the subject agitated,
and hope it will be taken up and pushed
by congress. When it is, our association,
to which the Virginia legislature has trans
ferred it's claim against the government for
money borrowed by General Washington
to build the present structure, will present
that claim and ask for payment for the old
before commencing the new.
"The claim, which is for $40, 900, never
has been denied by the government. nor
can it be, for we have the promise OF the
government, made through Washington, to
pay the money back to Virginia.
I'VE will not, perhaps. ask that ths claim
be paid in money, but will probably sug-
gest that congress defray the expenses OF
building the proposed national highway to
Mount Vernon. II they agree, we will
transfer the Virginia mortgage on the
white house as q contribution to the pro-
ject."

Why Cinnamon Have Become Less Nu-

WASHINGTON, August 3O.-In commenting
on the status of the Chinese in British
Columbia, Consul Stevens of Victoria, inlhis
report to the department OF state, says:
The number Of this race, formerly SO great
in this province that at one time it was es-
timated to have been 10000 or 10000,
has largely decreased. The present Chinese
population as given from official quarters
is 5000. Nearly one-half of them, think,
are in this city.
Their immigration hither has practically
ceased during 1888, and in the two last
months of 1887 $40 arrived at Vancouver
in Orient steamers, and probably two
thirds OF them held United States customs
return certificates and entered the United
States mostly at San Francisco. During
the same period, according to customs re-
ports at this city, $40 arrived here nsmall
numbers from various points. There have
been no arrivals at any port in the prov.
ince direct from China, save those recorded
firms has, except in opium, greatly de-
creased, there are according to the
directory of 1888 still some twenty firms
given.
OF the laboring class many find periodi.
cal work in the canneries on the mainland,
at the lumber mills, and at gardening.
Some or four or five hundred find employ
ment as domestic servants. Some of them
are got illegally into the United Statesfrom
time to time, but not now in any consider
able number.

MILES CITY, September 2.-[Special to

is about to be established here. the first
issue appearing on Thursday. The new
plant has been purchased, and it will be
printed at one of the existing newspaper

1t is understood that some of the Demo-
cratic millionaires OF the west are behind
the investment, and have put up enough
money to keep it going year. Others as
sert that it will be a acampaign sheet merely.
The latter is more propable.
The Democratic central committee, its
progenitor, and a prominent local Demo
crat will be it's editor, though it has been
asserted that an offer has gone out to
some place east for an editor to come and
take charge OF it permanently.
1t is said that it will be called the Dem

There was paper published here during
the last campaign by the same party which
existed only during the campaign, and this
will probably be q renewal OF that.

KANSAS CIEY, September 2.-Judge Bo.
land OF the police court handed down a de-
cision of test case made by the saloon
men OF the validity OF the penalty cause OF
the Sunday law. The law is a city measure
and requires trial by judge to revoke q
license of every saloonkeeper convicted OF
selling liquor on Sunday. The city ordi.
nance confers power to revoke licenses upon
such judges. Judge Boland, in his opinion,
holds the ordinance illegal, and therefore
the law is unconstitutional and dismissed
the cases of fifteen saloon men. The city
attorney will appeal.
