RICHMOND. Va. Oct An anti Malone
conference today adopted lengthy report
declaring that Malone has deceived the
Republican national committee by false
presenses: that his plan of organization was
tyranical and hateful; that he has driven
from the councils Of the party the ahlest
men, and that he has forfeited the conf
dence of the people OF Virginia, and that
his rejection is essential TO the salvation of
the Republican party. The conference
recommended no particular course to be
pursued by voters on election day. except
that each shall use his individual judgment.

Death of Thos. Id. Jones.

Durham mourns the loss of one of
her truest and best citizens. Thos.
ID. Jones is dead. In his death Dur.
ham, yea the whole section is sad.
He came to Durham about ten years
ago from Asheville, and engaged in
the leaf tobacco business since that
time he has been closely identified
with every interest that tended to
upbuild durham. He was the larg.
est fine wrapper buyer in the State;
hundreds Of farmers in this section
loved Tom Jones, for he was the mo. It
liberal bidder for their fine wrappers.
He prospered in his business and
leaves wife and two children pro-

all who knew him, for lie possessed
every qualification that makes true
gentleman. He was liberal to the
poor and cherries the widow and
distressed never were turned away
empty handed.
We can truly SAY that no better,
more popular, more liberal citizen
ever lived in Durham. He was one
of natures noblemen, made up of
rare and pure qualities of head and
hat. Sleep friend, and rest from
pin and suffering.

T. Hill interviewed.

CHICAGO, July pa dispatch from San
Francisco says that portion of the estate
of H. A. Pearson, of San Juan, in Cook
county was bequeathed to T. C. Hill of
Western Springs, to be used for charitable
purposes. Hill was visited by areporter and
said that he had not been notified that he
was made one of the executors of the will.
Pearson told him he intended to leave his
property in this county for charitable pur-
poses as far back as 1882. Hill thinks it
will amount to $500, 900, but it is in a real
estate title, which is in dispute and has
been for many years.
A member of the firm of attorneys for
Pearson says that this property amounts to
next to nothing. 1t was largely in the way
of expectation on claim to streets and al
leys in property plated by his father away
back in the thirties. This property his
father sold, and it was re-platted under the
law that whenever a street or alley is
vacated the title to itreverts to the origi-
nal owner. Young Pearson expected to re-
alize largely from the present holders of
the property, but the supreme court de-
cided a test case against him last year and
all of his other suits have been withdrawn.

CHICAGO, July 27-There was a sensa-

room at midnight James W. Smith had
been on trial the few days past on the
charge of criminally assaulting an eight
year-old girl who had been taken, by Smith
and his wife from the Orphan asylum at
Akron, o., for adoption. The case was
given to the jury thisE afternoon.
and at II 40 tonight they returneda YER

nine years in the penitentiary. Smith was
greatly affected, and rising said: 81 am in
nocent; 1 swear before my God, whom /
am about to meet I am innocent As he
finished he raised his hand in which he had
small pocket-knife and plunged it into
his breast, while his wife, who had been
sitting beside him, screamed wildly, "Oh,
jim, why did you do that?"
The doctors were hastily summoned aud

the wOuld-be suicide will die, but the Judge
was too much excited to read it tonight.
Smith had always heretofore borne good
reputation and was employed as a draughts

Minister Hirsch and the sultan.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch. !
NEW YORK, July 27.-Minister Hirsch
arrived Thursday from Constantinople,
where he has had an unusual and crafty
ing experience. The etiquette of the court
requires that stranger, no matter with
what credentials, must have been within
the city walls for sixty days before being
granted an audience with the Sultan
Minister Hirsch was invited to the palace
in just ten days after his arrival. 1t was a
special audience on Wednesday, the usual
day for the reception of ambassadors being
Friday. The Sultan expressed the most
cordial feelings toward Americans in gen
eral, and he had particularly pleasant words
to say concerning General Lew Wallace,
S. S. Cox, Mr.. Straus, the recent minister,
and ex-Mayor Hewitt. Minister Hirsch
goes to Washington in day or two to see
the President and Secretary Blaine, and
then returns to Oregon to prepare for the
departure Of himself and family to their
Jew home.

THE Nurder of Or. A. r. Jones.

CINCINNATI, July 27.-The murder of Dr.
a. E. Jones, Familiarity known as Colonel
Jones, is one Of the most shocking occur
FENCES that could have occurred in Cincin-
aad. The colonel was in his seventy-sev-
enth year, but was as active as a man of
.fifty. He had always had an inclination to
MILITARY life and kept it up by his connec-
Son with the Ohio National guard, ssrving
Tor long time as surgeon of the FIRST regi-
ment. Governor Foraker, VINO was his
neighbor, appointed him member Of his
staff as surgeon-general. He had been
active in pu0.ic affairs, serving often in the
municipal council, and had besides held
several Offices under appointment from the
general government. He was perhaps more
widely known in Cincinnati than any other
citizen.
Dr.Jones left bis house about 80 o'clock
Thursday afternoon, wearing no coat, his
fe9t in slippers, and went in the direction
Of his stable. That was the last seen Of
him alive The family did not become
alarmed until after night, and then prose-
outed their search quietly until yesterday,
when notice was given to the police Dur

discovered opposite the Doctors stable, and
being followed, was traced to Park avenue,

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
WASHINGTON, July %, 1889.
retary of the Treasury :

ITO the Secretary of the Treasury:
''Sir-I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your two communications
upon the subject of Chinese laborers pass
ing through the United States in the course
of their journey to or from other countries,
the one under date of July l, inst, enclos-
ing letter from John w. Foster, consul of
the Chinese legation, and the other under
date of July 20, enclosing one from the
acting secretary of state, and copS,of a
telegram from the Chinene monster.
"You state that certain Chinese laborers
arrived at the port of New Orleans and are
now awaiting a determination of the ques-
ton as to whether they have right to
pass through to San Francisco for the pur-
pose of embarking for China. and l will
therefore, thank you for an expression of
yonr opinion this question at as early day
as possible.
''In reply l would say that the same
question arose under the act of May 6, 1882
(22 statutes atlarge, 5S), and was submitted
to this department. and the opinion of De
cember %, 1882, reconsidering another
opinion given. The conclusions reached in
that opinion l believe were correct. More
over, it appears that from that time the de-
partment of state uniformly, and the treas
ury department generally, recognized and
acted upon the construction there given, at
least down to the passage of the act of Oc-
tober l, 1888. Manifestly the act of July
5, 1884 (23 statutes at large, 15), did not
render the opinion inapplicable to the ques-
ton submitted, nor does the act of October
l, 1888, known as the Scott exclusion act (25
statutes at large, 500, affectits application.
That act was directed to Chinese laborers
who had been or might be residents, and
related to their departure and return I
have been able to find no other legislation
bearing materially upon the question, but
it is possible that some of the collectors of
customs to whom you refer may have been
influenced by the stringent provisions of
the act of September %, 1888, as statutes
at large, 476). The restrictive provisions
of that act, however. by its very terms, do
not take effect until the date of the ex-
change of the'ratifcations of the pending
treaty, which date has not yet arrived.
therefore adopt the carefully considered
opinion of this department of December
26, 1882, as expressing my views upon the
question you submit, without additional
argument. return the enclosures as re
quested Very respectfully,
o. W. CHAPMAN, Solicitor General.
