THE census of Philadelphia is CON-

finding fault with the work. Perhaps
this is due to the fact that the Quaker
metropolis finds she has over 100000
inhabitants, and is astonished at herself.

Attempt 80 Wreck the Monitor Terror In
brooklyn Savy Yard.
NEW NoRK, Dec. ga morning pa
per says; "a daring attempt was made
late Saturday afternoon to sink the
big double-turreted monitor, Terror,
at the Brooklyn navy yard. Thir-
ty inches OF water were discovered
in her hold yesterday morning, but
the greatest quantity of the water had
been pumped ont by evening. She is
now lying at the dry dock. The at
tempt TO sink the vessel was made inst
as she was about to be fioated out of the
dry dock. 1t was not the fault of the
Iniscreants that they did not succeed.
1.-The under water openings and sea
valves had been personally inspected by
officers Of the construction department.
At noon on Saturday she was reported
ready for floating. Half an hour later
the startling cry arose that the water
was rushing in through the sea valve
connection. The Ing monitor was
settling. The most vigorous work upon
the part OF the crew became necessary
To save her The huge dock pump was
put in motion, spars We're run out
from the side of the dock to steady
the vessel and by the aid of hawsers
she was held in place. The crew
finally succeeded in closing the sea
valves opening. They were covered
from the outside and, after thirty min
utes' hard work, the vessel was saved.
Then the pumping began in earnest"

ooNTRAeANo CHINAMEN.
Judge Mazsy's Decision Almost NuIIIfying
the Exclusion Act.

Judge Nazsy's Decision Almost Multiplying
the Exclusion Act.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-For some time
past 1t has been the parctice of the
Treasury Department TO return to
China. at Government expense, all Chi
nese laborers convicted of entering our
territory in violation of the Chinese ex-
clusion act.
This applied to Cinnamon Struggled
over the Mexican and Canadian borders
as well as those coming dir ect from
China. 4 recent decision by Judge
NIaxey, of the United States District
Court OF the Western district of Texas,
however, will. if sustained, compel a
material modification of this practice.
1t is in effect that the Government has
no right under the law to send to China
Chinese labOrers who enter the United
States from contiguous countries, unless
evidence is produced that they came
from China, or in other words that the
language of the law in authorizing their
return ito the country whence they
came" should, in such cases, be con-
strued to mean the contiguous country
and not China.
In the case in question two Cinnamon
who had been convicted before United
States commissioner of unlawfully en-
tering the United States from Mexico
were ordered to be deposited in China at
Government expense. Their counsel aP-
piled to Judge Maxey for a writ OF
habeas corpus, and after hearing the
evidence he ordered their release from
custody on the ground that the COM
missioner had exceeded his authority in
ordering them to be sent to China He
held that they could be lawfully sent to
Mexico and nowhere else Reports
from special treasury agents are to the
effect that the adoption of this would
afford no relief whatever as the China
men would remain in the vicinity and
come back into our territory at the first
opportunity. Secretary Window and
Assistant Secretary SPalding are con-
siderinR this matter.

PREFEReNoEs OF FARMERS.
A Scheme to Draw Ost Their Political
Opinions and Deszres.


Opinions and Desires
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec 24.-An
deliberately planned canvass to ascer-
tain the opinions of farmers through
out the country on practical. economic
al and political questions has been con-
Quoted on an extensive scale for the
past three months by the agricultural
press OF Springfield, liberal prizes being
arranged so as to create discussion in
farmers organizations everywhere and
induce a large poll of postal card bal
lots Nearly 10000 cards We're re-
eeived answering these questions, among
others: Is Federal aid to agricultural
colleges and experiment stations wise
policy; should the rudimentz of the
agricultural science be taught in the
public schools; will the new tariff help
American farming whole; Will the
proposed reciprocity with South Amer
lea benefit our farmers; will reciprocity
with Canada help the farmers of the
United States; would il be wise to sus-
pend the homestead and presumption
laws, withdrawing from sale or occupa-
ton all public lands for agricultural and
grazing purposes for a period of years,
in the hope that population and con
sumption might catch mp with produc-
ton and thus relieve agricultural de
preston; should the GoveEnment own
and operate the telegraph; should the
should be the Republican and Demo-
cratic nominees for the Presidency in
1892?
The answers have been fully tabu-
lated only SO far as they relate to the
last question, but enough has been done
to show that Federal aid to agricultural
education and the teaching of agri-
cultural science in rural public schools
are overwhelmingly indorsed- The
sentiment regarding Government own
ership of railroads Is quite evenly di-
vided- A great many who vote against
supervision and full control of railroads.
The views expressed as to the new tariff
law, reciprocity and the proposed modi-
hcation of the National land policy are
so diverse that it will be some days be-
fore they are classified.
The farmers expressed their prefer
ence for Presidential candidates as fol-
lows:
