A SHAM PRETEXT.
Condemnation of Lot of Seized
Opium.

Judge Ross tried an action yesterday in
the District Court to condemn 2200 5-tael tins
of opium, which arrived on the steamship
China on April 30th. The invoices stated that
the goods in forty certain cases were crock
cry, but an examination showed that about
S25, 600 worth of opium was concealed in
them. The duty on the drug amounted to
over $4,000. and the opium was seized.
The consiguee was Albert Marks, and he
set up claim that they were in transit for
JuareZ, Mexico, and that the Government
had no right to seize or confs ca the drug.
Marks testified yesterday that he is the
manager of Irving Hall. Several years
ago he was IN business in Sau BernardinO,
and there met Chinese named Hang Chang
Tai, who one day, about five months before
the seizure, came to him and said he was
going to China and wanted him to take care
of some goods that he would send for ship
ment to Mexico.
The goods duly came, and Marks claimed
that before the seizure he went to the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship Company and asked
to have the bill of lading indorsed for
tran5hipment to Juarez, Mexico. and this
was done. He denied that the Endorsement
had BEN made after the seizure. The
goods were to be shipped to a Chinese
named Wong Wo in Juarez, though he did
not know who Wong Wo might be, never
having had any communication from him.
Marks did not have his bill Of lading, it
having been mislaid, likewise several let
ters from Wong Chang Tai. The witness
denied that the opium was owned by parties
in this city.
6. S. Smith, employed in the freight of.
fee of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany, remembered that Marks applied for
the transhipment of the goods, and that
it was before the seizure.
Charles Dowd. a former resident Of
JuareZ, testified that he had searched dill
gently at that place. and could find no Chi
nese named Wong Wo. James Mari, In
spector Of Chinese at Ell Paso. and l.. S.
Irving, Special Agent of the Treasury at
the same place, both testified that they
knew all the Chinese in JuareZ, had made a
dilisent search. and that Wong Wo was un-
heard OF in that place.
Judge Ross, before the case was argued,
startled his hearers by announcing that he
was satisfied that the claim advanced by
Marks was a pretext and a sham, and that
there never was any idea of having the
opium transhipped to Mexico. This
amounted to a disposal Of the case, and the
opium was ordered condemned.

MUST GO BACK,
Quock All Ship Will Return to
China Forthwith.

For some weeks the United States Mar
shai has been looking for a Chinese womar
named Quock All Ship, whose habeas corpus
case was the most famous of all upon the
dockets of the Federal courts. She arrived
IN this city in 1888, with sixty other women,
all OF WHOM were remanded. The case was
appealed to the Circuit Court, and Judge
sawyer sustained tile order of remand. On
TINS decision all went back to China, with
the exception of Quock Ah Ship. who ap-
pealed her case to the United States Su-
preme Court.
All this time she has been at liberty on
$1,000 bonds. Several weeks ago a mandate
was received from the United States Su-
preme Court affirming the decision of the
Iower court, ordering the remand of the
woman. The case was the great test one
when argued before the courts, and involved
.ne construction of the act of 1885, and the
admlssIblllty in evidence of domestic con-
ssular certificates. While her case has been
hanging In the highest tribunal of justice in
the land, Quock All Ship has been enjoying
herself in perfect freedom in this city.

DisAhisSdi OF the ACTION To GUST the au-
ditor From Office.
Auditor Thomas j. l.. Smiley received
ample vindicaton at the hands of Judge
Hunt yesterday in the proceedings by one
w. NJ. Wiley to remove him from office. Iu
his opinion Oh the case, which is quite
lengthy, Judge Hunt says:
The petition alleges that contract was entered
INTO by The Board of Supervisors with Max Pop
per Tor lie performance OF certain public work,
which contract failed TO provide that eight hours
should constitute Il legal days work hereunder
thit demands under said contract have been pre-
seated 10 The Auditor for approval; and that he
was about 10 allow The same; that the auditing
aud allowance of said claim would amount tt
wiiiiul neglect ON the par OF Smiley in the per
Iormance OF his official DUTY; whereunOn peti
tioner asks that lie lie removed from office.
The proceeding Is based upon Section 772 OF
Inc Penal Code, which authorizes the Superior
Court, upon an accusation charging an officer
WIN Tue charging or collecting Of illegal fees or
with refusal or neglect to perform his official
dulies 10 cite The party thus charged To appear
before the court, aud If. upon hearing, the
truth Of the accusation is established such party
may be deprived OF his office.
In support Of This application II Is claimed that

The eight-honr provision, renders the contract
void, md the allowance of any demands there
under Is III the nature Of Il mafeasauce in office,
which would justify the removal OF The Offending
official.
In his opinion Judge Hunt stated that he
had no doubt that the contract should have
contained the eisht-hour provision, but he
held that the Auditor had no concern in
making the contract which was entered
into by The Board of Supervisors, and he
could not. upon presentation of demand
hereunder, Sit in judgment to determine its
legality.
The court also quoted decision from the
Supreme Court, wherein 1t was held that a
similar contract was not void on account of
such an omission. He ordered that the ap-
plication be denied and the proceedings
