the Act Circulated at Montreal.

Copies of petition to the Governor Gen
eral in Council have been furnished to all
the Protestant churches at Montreal, Cam

sign it. The petition sets forth claim that
the Society of Jesus, or order of Jesuits, had
not and have not any right, title or claim
whatever to receive from the Province of
Quebec the sum of 100000, and that the
act granting them that sum and granting

Motion to Advance the Test Case
In the supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, January "A motion
was made in the Supreme Court of the
United States to-day by Ex-Governor
Hoadly, of Ohio, to advance for argu-
ment the case of Chse Chan Ping, appel
liant, versus the United States. The ap-
pellant is Chinese laborer who departed
from the United States for China June 2,
1887, first having secured return
certificate from the Collector of
san Francisco, as required by
law. He returned to the United
States in October, 1878, but permission
to land was refused on the ground that
the Ger ifcate had been declared void by
the Scott Chinese Exclusion act of Octo
Der l, 1888. Chae Chan Ping then sued
out a writ of habeas corpus in the United
States Circuit Court, which being re-
fused, an appeal was taken to this Court.
1t was contended on his behalf that the
Scott act declaring the return certifi-
Gates void. was unconstitutional and
an abrogation of vested rights.
1t is sought to have the case advanced
for hearing on the ground that the case
is one of great importance, involving
thousands of certificates, many of the
holders of which have considerable prop
erty interests in the United States, and
that delay on a determination of the
case would result in a great injury to
the persons affected.

The Alleged Outrages shown to be

WASHINGTON, January 7.-Inquiry into
the alleged outrages on the seal islands
of St. Paul and st. George by employees
OF the Alaska Commercial Company was
resumed by the House Committee on
Fisheries this morning. The first wit
ness called was Captain Shepherd, of the
Revenue Marine Service, who made a
cruise in Alaskan waters during the sea-
sons of 1887 and 1888. He never heard
of any of the reported outrages and was
never asked to protect anyone.
Commander Nichols, stationed at San
Francisco, was in Alaskan waters last
summer in the interest of the Coast Sur
vey. He saw nothing in the treatment
of the natives that would lead to adverse
criticism.

Marine Service, did not see anything to

with reference to the correctness of an
interview between himself and the cor
respondent of New York paper in In
dianapolis, which rfected seriously upon
the conduct of the agents of the Alaska
Company at the seal island Of
St. George. Witness said the interview
as published was perverted; that some
thing had been put in his mouth he
never uttered. He had never heard of
any case of rape on the island, nor did
he know of any unusual amount of de-
bauchery there.

Agent to the seal islands, said he could
