He recommends increased appropria
tions for the enforcement of alien con
tract labor laws and the Chinese exclu
sion act, and also that the secretary be
authorized to return to China, at the
governments expense, all Cinnamon
found, being in this country in violation
of the law.
A cave-in occurred Thursday at the
Ashley mine, operated by the Lehigh l.
Wllkesbarre Coal company Of Pennsyl-
vanla. twenty-five miners were en-
tombed in the mine and grave fears are
entertained that they will not be res
cued alive. The cave extends over half
a mile square and includes a portion of
the thickly settled village called Maffets
Patch. 4 large number of the houses
went down with the surface, but only a
few were badly damaged.
The first arrest was made in San Fran
cisco Monday under the new city ordi-
nance requiring the removal OF all Chi
nese to district on the outskirts of the
city. The person arrested was Chae
1uen, member of the firm Of Chy Lung
Il Co. Shortly after the arrest the con
sui, on behalf Of the prisoner, applied to
the United States circuit court for a
writ of habeas corpus, setting forth that
the prisoner was Il subject of the en-
peror of China The writ vas granted
and the prisoner was released on bail.
Argument will be heard in the United
States circuit court July 14th.
In a short time an effort will be made
to secure the release from the peniten-
tiary of the convicted Chicago anarch-
lists, Fielden, SchWab and Neebe, by ap-
plication to Judge Graham of the circuit
court for writ Of habeas corpus on the
ground that the prisoners are detained
without due process Of law. General
Butler, associate counsel, feels sure of
success. The anarchists lawyers say
writ will be asked for on the ground that
after sentence was passed on the con-
demned men the case was appealed to
the supreme court, where the finding of
the lower court was affirmed. The pris-
oners were not taken before the supreme
court to hear this affirmation of their
sentence. The claim is made that this
is a breach of constitutional rights.
Destructive cyclones visited points in

dwellings were wrecked and twenty fam
lilies, numbering seventy-tive persons,
rendered homeless. Eighteen persens
were injured, but all will probably re-
cover. Near Franklin, Pa, Noah jack
son and wife were killed and number
of persons dangerously injured. The
cyclone was 800 feet wide and demolished
everything in its path for distance of

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Tichenor, in response to senate resolu-
ton calling for information relative to
the law prohibiting Chinese immigra-
ton has sent the senate the reports from
special agents along the border. Agent
at Niagara calls attention to
a phase Of the subject which he says is
likely to become serious. The question
IS what to do with Chinese persons
found unlawfuliy within the United
States, smuggled from Canada, and
without certificates showing they have
paid the dominion customs tax Of $50
per head. How are they to be returned
% the country whence they came: The
dominion customs officials refuse to ad- |
nit such persons into Canada without
proper certificates, and the officers will
hen have to choose between smuggling
hem back or placing them on bridges
the two countries, where
hey are certain to suffer much discom-
ort before release.
