SMUGGLED CHINESE.
Impossible to Keep Them From Crossing the
Northern and Southern Borders

WASHINGTON, April 90. - Chinese In
spector Coon at San Diego reports to Chief
Inspector Tingle that he has now in Jail
awaiting trial .twenty-six Chinamen, one
Portuguese and the captain of the sloop
Benicia Boy for violations of the Chinese
Exclusion Act. The captain of the Benicia
Boy confessed that he was employed by
parties in San Francisco, and that regular
contracts are entered into in China by
which, for safe delivery in the United
States, the contracting parties receive $40
per head for Chlpamen. Inspector Coon says
he has now under arrest one of the princi-
pal parties and is on the track of others.
Whether the Cinnamon land in Mexico or
in British Columbia, he says their ultimate
destination Is the United States, and it is
almost Impossible to prevent their coming
over the border by night. The only way
he sees to prevent it is by treaty with
Mexico and Great Britain, by which China
men will be prevented from landing in
those countries as they are in the United
States. Inspector Coon repels the charges
that the United States officials are derellct
In their duties in carrying out the law, but
says the law is itself defective and the bor-
der so long and the number of men to guard
1t so Inadequate that Cinnamon who are
smuggled in readily return after being
put out OF the United States.

Barthalett, rival claimants, occupied the
property till a month ago, when Prescott
died. City Councilman Hunter paid the
funeral expenses, and thought to reimburse
himself by selling the lot He caused
Barthalett to be elected and arrest ed on a
charge of jumping. A trial was had in the
prisoners absence and fine was entered
against him. The prisoner refused to pay
it, and was kept in Jail week. This after
noon he was taken out to work on the
streets with a ball and chain, and
most brutally treated by the officer.
A crowd gathered, and Judge En-
right, former Police Judge, inter-
fered in the prisoners behalf and made
a speech to the citizens. The city authori-
ties threw the Judge in jail and a mob of
over 1000 gathered Mayor Dooley became
frightened and finally released the prisoner
on the latter's own terms. The excitement
is intense. Broils over property are con-
