The Crafty Ways of the Chinese in
Getting Into This Country.

San FRANcIsCO June l2.-Collector Phelps
yesterday explained what was being done to
prevent Chinese from entering the United
States across the Mexican border Special
Agent Irvine and another officer were ap-
pointed TO go with the Chinese who arrived at
this port in transit 20 Guavamas. They dis
gulsed themselves as miners and sailed April
% on the steamer NewbeIn for Guayamas ia
company with sixty Chinese. The officers
mingled with the Chinese and studied their
features until they could swear 20 each mans
identity. Twenty Chinese who bought tickets
to Guayamas left the steamer at Ensenad a
Telegraphing the collector at San Diego TO
look out for these the officers continued ON
with the rest. Arriving at Guayamas the Cha
nese left on the railroad IN the direction Of
Nogales. accompanied by the officers but when
within sixty miles OF Nogales and close 10 the
border of the United States the Chinese left the
train and went into camp. Two officers went
on 10 Nogales and made preparations for the
capture of the Chinese the moment they
crossed the border.
But the Mongolians did not cross and some
time after were Joined by more, making total
of $50 in camp. Two weeks ago a Chinese
letter captured. which, on being inter-
prered. showed that the Chinese had been in
formed of the preparations for their capture.
This explained their long delay IN attempting
to cross the border. The Chinese in camp near
the border are in an unpleasant predicament.
IL they cross they will be captured. They can
not go south or east because of Apaches and
on the west and northwest lies the great desert
Their countrymen at Guayamas are hostile TO
them and what will become of them Collector
Phelps cannot say.

ON THE LAKE FRONT.
The Worlds Fair to be Located on the
Coolest Spot in Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 12-The Times asserts that
the worlds fair directors have practically de-
cided to locate the exposition on the lake
front. An organized effort has been made. it
says, to clear the lake front OF all its objection
able features by coming to definite under
standing with the Illinois Central railroad. and
that with this end in view all the projects, 30
far as the site is concerned. have been left in
allegiance.
The formal proposition was made to the
railroad officials yesterday. Should il be ac-
cepted it is said that the railroad company will
abandon its present tracks along the lake
front, and leaving the lake shore at 22d street

breakwater to a point opposite tie foot of

BILLINGS, Mont, June l2-The Indians are
now killing cattle by hundreds. Yesterday

Four companies Of infantry and one troop Of
cavalry have LEFT Fort Keogh for the scene of
the trouble. Men just in from the Rosebud
country report three ranch properties burned
by Indians and other houses shot into, but no
people killed. A posse of cowboys left Rose
bud last evening and said they would drive the
Indians back on the reservation without regard
to the troops. The Indians are camped only
eighteen miles from the station on Rosebud

are expected down the river today and the
posse which left Rosebud expect to be joined
by them near where the indians are now
camped.

settlers, but he has no information of an up
rising and does not believe in the number ofmur-
ders reported. There are now four companies
of cavalry at Tongue River in command of Mai.
Carroll, and three companies OF infantry from
Fort Keogh are on their way TO the same spot,
due to arrive Friday. There are 800 Cheyennes
on the reservation and about 1000 Crows on the
adjoining reservation but the latter are peace
able. The settlers have strongly objected TO
the Cheyenne reservation. and there have been
frequent taunts made that the Indians would
soon be cleaned off. The result has been to
keep the Indians and settlers at daggers points
and to foment any trivial difficult. There is no
doubt" said the general that the military on

Acting Commissioner Belt Proposes to
Make Him Work for His Rations.

There has been a good deal of criticism and
complaint in regard to the poor quality of the
beef furnished to the Indians. The govern
ment has been attacked because of the alleged
frauds practiced upon the poor Indians in this
respect
There is, however, another side of the ques-
tion which has been very tersely presented in
a letter of instructions to Indian agents which
has been issued by Mr.. r. V. Belt, the acting
commissioner of Indian affairs. Mr.. Belt says
that the management of the Indian service is
often severely criticised and injustice alleged
against the Government toward the In
dians because lean and poor beef cattle
are slaughtered and issued to the Indians.
There Is no disputing the fact that when the
cattle are purchased they are in excellent con-
dltion and that the Indians have ample graz
ing lands upon which the cattle can feed and
gain flesh so long as the grass can be obtained,
and In many cases there is an abundance Of
grass on the reservations that can be
cured and fed to the cattle when
the ground is covered with snow
and when the weather Is severe, preventing the
cattle from procuring their own food. If the
Indians will allow this abundant supply of
provender to go to waste without supplying q
sufficient quantity to feed their beef cattle to
keep them in good condition for beef they
have no just ground for complaint that they
receive beef of poor quality"
Reference is made by Mr. Belt to the act of
March 3, 1875. which provides, for the purpose
OF inducing Indians to labor and to become self
supporting, that the Indians be credited for
work performed upon the reservation in the
distribution Of supplies. This law is now en-
forced except in cases of tribes which have
been excepted from the operations of its pro-
visions by the Secretary of the Interior, as
he has authority to do. MIR. Belt asks the
opinion of the Indian agents as to the practical
bility of enforcing an order which will require
that during the entire haying season no able
bodied Indian between the ages of eighteen
and forty-five years should receive rations ex-
cept in return for labor in putting up hay to
feed the beef cattle for the tribal benefit or
In laboring for themselves. Also, that the
Indians shall be given to understand
that in the fall distribution of supplies and
clothing it shall be understood that discrimina-
tion will be made in favor of those who work
faithfully and against those who have been
lazy and indifferent
MIR. Belt thinks that il the purpose OF these
now instructions can be carried out that the
Indians will have no just ground of complaint
against the government The In
dians have been for number
of years past leasing their lands 10 cat
tie companies for grazing purposes Under
the order of the Secretary of the Interior all
such leases will terminate in October ne and
the cattle belonging to outsiders will re-
moved from the reservations. The Indians
then can make use of their grazing lands 10
feed their own cattle

COUNTING THE PEOPLE.
Work on Population Returns Com
menced at the Census Office.

The first returns of the new census were re-
ceived at the Census Office yesterday. The re-
suits Of the work of the enumerators in
seventy-fve districts of New York city
came in and this morning Mr.. Dingman, the
supervisor for the District, sent in the returns
| from thirteen districts of this city. Some OF
| the enumerators in this city completed their
work on Tuesday and when Mr. Dingman was
| notified today that the Gems us Office was read;
| to begin the work of counting he at once fur
nished al the returns he had on hand.
There are re turns from nine additional dis
| stricts which are completed and which Mr..
Dill g man will send in today. He expects to
receive a largo number this evening and to-
morrow. and before Saturday, which ID the last
day of the time allowed, he thinks that the
completa g urns of the District will be in the
| Census Office. Owing to the fact that many of
the districts III New York city are quite small
the supervisor there was able to make a good
showing in the first instailment of returns sent
by him to the Census Office.
THE ROUGH COUNT.
AS soon as the census schedules containing
the returns we're received at Superintendent
Porter's Office large force of clerks was set
to work in making what is called 1.-The rough
count. This is done mainly by machines.
invented by Mr.. Hollinth. who is also
the patentee of the large tabuating
machine which will be used in the census
work. 1t Is somewhat on the same principle
as that of the typewriter The keys represent
families in accordance with the census sched-
| ules At the top of each schedule is noted the
number of members in the family.
There are families of two. three, four and so
on up to twenty and beyond The clerk in
charge of a machine will have the sched-
uIes of certain district. AS he glances at
the first schedule he sees that the family enum-
Grated contains five members for example. He
touches the proper key. which records one
on the proper dial. When he has finished with
the schedule of the district he reads off the
dials and finds that there are SO many families
containing five members or ten members as
the may be. and the entire number in that
| district is readily ascertained. This count is
verified.
TO BE COMPLETED SOON.
As fast as the returns come in the rough
count is made and soon after all the returns
| are in Superintendent Porter will be able to
announce the general results of the census as
to the total population. The machines in use
are now being operated in the paper ware
house rented by the Census Office on North
Capitol street.
Next week they will be removed to the Inter-
Ocean building on 9th street near F. which has
just been completed This entire building will
be occupied by the division of population sta
tistics, Of which Mr.. w. C. Hunt Is chief.

THE ATKINSON BILL.
What the COmmissiOners' Letter In Re-
gard to it Really Meant.

The Commissioners of the District of Colum-
bia in response to an inquiry of the House Dis
trict committee conditionally approved the At
kinson railroad bill, saying that they favored
it ''if the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad
Company is permitted by Congress to re.
main as now located in the city of
Washington" They subsequently indorsed
the Burton bill, which provides for the
removal of the tracks and station from the
mall and the depression and bridging of por-
ton of the tracks on Maryland and Virginia
avenues and thus apparently indicated their
opinion that the company should not be ''per-
mitted to remain as now located in the city Of
Washington" the condition upon which their
approval of the Atkinson bill was based Their
letter in regard to the Atkinson bill,
without that In regard TO the Burton
bill, was read in the House in Mondays debate
and was construed by Mr.. Heard into a practi-
son bill. Mr.. Heard remarked that the Com
missioners recommended the passage of the
bill '.if the road is to be permitted to remain
in this section OF the city. If Congress deter
mines to remove the road outside of that part
of the city, that will bring the cars within the
exception made in the report Of the Commits
sioners Otherwise not. They say
to us that if this road is to be kept in the SOUTH
western portion Of the city that this bill should
be passed. Nobody SO far as
have heard proposes to remove it."
A STAB reporter called the attention of Com
missioner Robert to the construction placed
upon the letter, and he said: 1.-The Commis-
sioners were requested to state whether, in
their opinion, it was advisable for Congress to
pass the Atkinson bill. They replied in SUBJ
stance in the affirmative, provided Congress
intended to leave the main tracks Of the Balti-
more and Potomac railroad as at present That.
in the mind Of the Commissioner meant that
if Congress intended to make no change in the
location OF the main tracks OF the Baltimore
and Potomac railroad either as 10 streets or
reservations or grade, then the best interests
OF the public required the passage Of the Az
knson bill"
