Coming Communication to Congress
on the Behring Sea Difficulty.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Dec. "a
Secretary Blaine has prepared a communi-
cation to congress on the Behring sea seal
catching question. He will send it to the
capitol as soon as it can be laid before Lord
Salisbury, as it would be breach of diplo-
macy to make 1t public here in advance of
the time when Salisbury sees it.
This message, it is semi officially an
nounced, will suggest that some active and
immediate steps be taken toward arbitrating
the questions involved with the British au-
thorities. Since the report of Prot. Elliott,
recently published, that the seal were rap
idly disappearing, Mr.. Blaine's position
that the poaching by British vessels was
contra b0nOs nOreS is to an extent proven
correct 1t is expected that Mr.. Blaine will
recommend the appointment OF a commls-
sion to investigate the seal fishing question
to substaEtiate or refute the statements in
Prof. Elliott's report, and at the same time
to arbitrae the entire question with the
proper representatives Of her majestys gov
ernnent. 1t is expected that Mr.. Blaines
message will be sent to congress early in

THE TROUBLESOME CHINESE.
New Point Which May Cause the
Whole Country Vexation.

Whole Country VeXatiOn.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-For some time
past it has been the practice of the treasury
department to return to China at govern
ment expense all Chinese laborers con-
victed of entering our territory in violation
Of the Chinese exclusion act. This applied
to Cinnamon smuggled over the Mexican
and Canadian borders, as well as those COM
ing direct from China.
A recent decision by Judge Maxey, of the
United States district court of the Western
district of Texas, however will, if sus-
tanned, compel a material modification of
this practice. 1t is that the government
has no right under the law to send to China
Chinese laborers who enter the United
States from contiguous countries. unless
the evidence is produced that they came
from China, or in other words, that the
language of the law authorizing their re-
turn Ito the country whence they came"
should in such cases be construed to mean
the contiguous country and not China.

Spaulding are considering the matter.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Dec. "a.
Representative Hall was to-day promised
bv the secretary OF the interior department
all early settlement of the Hastings & Da-
kota land grant. He went to Secretary No
bic about the matter, and again stated how
many settlers were unable to determine
whether they owned the land they were on
and had been for many years deprived of
title to lands which they should have.
During the conversation Mr.. Hall incl
dentally stated that the secretary had
promised him an appointment on one of

ment that had failed to materiaIize
Now, said the Third district man, you
can do something for me and do it now.
There is no pending legislation to prevent
this adjustment, and it is merely a matter
of doing on your part" The secretary was
rather pleased with the blunt request, and
promised to set the machinery in motion to
accomplish what was asked.

WAS ITHEs
A Supposed Clue to ths I'm.
known Man Found in Mill
Creek Recently

B. J. Sharp, proprietor Of the Ore.
gon house, informed JOURNAL
reporter this morning that since the
finding of the dead body in Mil
creek, between here and Turner. be
had been thinking over a former
guest at his hotel, and is somewhat
Of the belief that this guest is the
unfortunate victim.
His name was Leonard, formerly
in the transfer business at Minneap-
oils, who had come tO Portland
with view 90 remaining, but
finally concluded to return and re-
sumo business at his former home.
II would be guessed, though Leon
ard said nothing positive on this
point, that he and his wife had not
always lived amicably, and at the
time to which reference II now
made she was stopping with friends
10 the vicinity of Stayton.
On the 9TH of last February, Just
after the food and before railroad
travel was resumed, Mr.. Leonard
came to the hotel, having walked
here from Portland and being the
first man through from. there. He
told Mr.. Sharp he was going up to
get his wife to go back with him t.
Minneapolis aud that they would be
down in few days to stop over
day or two TO view Salem and sur
roundings.
He took his departure for Stayton
afoot, on the Sth. Mr.. Sharp advis
ing him to keep The railroad truck to
Turner, and that IL the last Mr.. s
has seen or heard Of him. He was
a well built, forceful man of about
40 years old and wore gray over
coat. The meager description
which the condition of the body
when found afforded to the repor.
ters causes Mr.. sharp to think 1t
more than probable it was the body
of this man Leonard, though 1t is
only conjecture. There may be
some JOURNAL readers in the Stay
ton neighborhoOd who know more
of the Leonards and will send ia
further explanations.
