NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-For some
;ime past the advertisements Of the
Institute Of European staff physi-
clans appeared Ia German papers
guaranteeing TO quickly cure all ills
of both sexes, lack of money being
no barrier to treatment. Germans
flDcked to the institute by hundreds,
inding one DR.. Bcekmun, who
styled himself president of the as
sociation. In every case he ad.
miuisiered "a colored fluid and
sweet pills." Complaints of extor-
lion have been made. He was ar.
rested aud confessed he was no
physician, but formerly had been n
DOCTORS servant in the German
army. Analysis Of his medicines
shows them to be bread pills and a
solution of salts. Beekman said his
treatment would kill no more tn
that of regular physicians. He was
held TO the grand jury ia $1,000 bail
NO MORE CHINESE,
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. l4.-The
landing of the Chinese from the
steamer Oceanic was stopped yester-
day by order Of Collector Phelps
The order was due to circular re-
ceived from the treasury depart

case of Wan Sing. The latter is a
laborer, and wanted To land on the
ground of prior residence, The
court held that no Chinese, merchant,
or otherwise, could land in the
United States unless he was provld.
ed with consular certificate. He
would have to prove he was conduct
ing mercantile business In this
country, which would be almost an
impossibllity in China. Collector
Phelps holds that this practically ex-
cludes all Chinese except these con.
nec,ed with the diplomatic corps.
