CHINESE IN TRANSIT.
Consul Bees Plan for Handling Them at
San Francisco.

San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, October 11th.-Consul
Bee and Collector Phelps held consulta-
ton this morning in order to determine
the best means to adopt in protecting the
Government against the escaping of Chi
nese landing in this city in transit to for
eign ports. The latest ruling of the Treas
ury Department is to the effect that all
Chinese arriving al az American port in
transit TO foreign port must be refused
landing until satisfactory bond is fled by
the transporting company or some other
responsible party, guaranteeing their de-
parture to their destination within twenty
days.
The railroad companies have declined TO
furnish the bonds, as they claim to have
no safe way of keeping track of the Chi
nese. Consul Bees plan is 10 land the
Chinese in transit on bond of $500 fur
nished by the Chinese Consul, the latter
having his bond secured by bond given
by the Chipaman IN the sum of 81, 600
The Consul will appoint Chinese inspec-
tor TO take charge of the men landed and
see that they are turned over to the Gus
toms officers on the day designated by the
Collector. The Collector is also to hold
the Chinaman's ticket and other doeu-
ments until his departure is certified to by
the customs officers. While the Collector
considers the plan good one, be has as
vet to accept il.

NEW YORK, October llth.-In the Epis-
copal General Convention today Rev. Dr.
Benedict, Chairman of the Committee on
Constitutional Amendments submitted a
report that the committee deemed it inex-
pedient to make any change in the repre-
sentation to the General Convention, or
make any change in the method of voting.
The committee also asked TO be discharged
from further consideration of the subject
The report was signed by nine members of
the committee; two were absent and two
dissented.
The House assented to the discharge of
the committee, but when their report was
submitted an objection to its present con-
sideration was made, and under the present
rule it was placed on the calendar. The
subject of the report, proportionate repre-
sentation, and to which it was opposed, is
one of the most important to be ac.ed on
by the present Convention.
A message from the House of Bishops
was received, announcing the consent of
the conservation of Rev. Drs. Morris and

BORN ON A TRAIN.
The Little One Safe After Very Rough
Experience.

PORTLAND, October I1th.-A girl baby
was ushered into the world unceremoni-

When the Portland bound train pulled out
of the station the youngster was found in a
heap of cinders between the tracks. The
infant was taken to house near by, and a
physician who was summoned found that
though bruised by its fall there were no
serious injuries.
Supposing the mother had willfully
throgh the child away, the City Marshal
telegraphed to the conductor OF the train to
have her arrested before she crossed into
Oregon. The conductor searched the train
nigh and low without finding any trace of
the woman. He found the door to the

SILVER COINAGE.
The Subject Under Earnest Consideration
by the Cabinet

The Subject Under Earnest Consideration
by the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, October 1lth.-The Cabinet
convened at noon to. day, with all the mem
bers present. The subject under consider
alton was what stand the Administration
should take on the silver question Secre-
tary Window has been considering the
subject for some time. The advocates of
silver ooiDage desired that The Adininistrs-
ton should allow individuals to have their
silver coined at the Mints. The friends of
gold object strenuously to this proposition,
claiming that there is already too much
silver coined, and in proof of their asser-
ton point to the piles of silver dollars now
stacked up in the vaults of the Treasury
and still being coined at the rate of 81 Co.,
600 per month. The general impression
among Treasury officials conversant with
the silver question is that Window will
favor allowing silver balhon TO be Gepos-
lted with the Government and the issuance
of bullion certificates therefor
The Cabinet reached no conclusion on
the subject, and postponed it 10 allow Win
dom to investigate the subject of silver
coinage further.
THE "sTAE,s" VERSION.
The Star tonight gives the following
version Of the Cabinet meeting: The
silver in the Treasury sgairst which certi-
ticates have not been issued is reduced to
about S5,000,G00 AT the present rate of
issuing small denomination certificates,
from 81, 600 900 to So, 600, 900 per month, this
amount will not last the month out. If
the increased purchases of silver are not
made the issuance of certificates will have
to be suspended or greatly curtailed The
Cabinet was discussing the question with
the President to-day. Under the law the
Government must purchase silver at the
rate of $2000,009 per month and may pur-
chase as much as 81 ,0O0, 600 per month.
Heretofore they have been purchasing
minimum amount. The proposition be-
fore the Cabinet was toincrease the amount
of purchase, and it may be decided to pur-
chase the full 81 4,0O0,00 per month"

ago the neighboring town of Lafayette
passed prohibition ordinance, and all the
saloons were closed. A few days ago a

upon by committee, who informed him
that his business was not required there,
but he continued, and the town officials
gs out an injunction to stop him.
The Judge decided in his favor, and he
resumed business with more openness
than ever. Early this morning his saloon
was bombarded by crowd of several hun
dred persons. They came supplied with
stones and sledge-hammers, and, surround
ing the place, commenced to storm it.
The doors and windows were broken,
and the crowd rushed in. The bar was
battered down, mirrors broken, the heads
of the whisky and beer barrels knocked in
and the contents wasted. The place was
almost torn down and everything ruined.
