New Questions Arising in Enforc-
ing the Exclusion Act.
POSSIBILITY OF ENGLAND TAKING A
HAND IN THE FIGHT.
Minister Pauncefote Claims That the
Chinaman Arrested at Port Huron
Should be Sent Back to Canada In
stead of China-Assistant Secretary
Spaulding Will Stand Squarely by
Special TO the REcoRD-UNIoN.


WASHINGTON, July %. Interesting
complications may possibly occur with
the Canadian Government in conse-
quence Of a Chinaman being arrested at
Port Huron, Mich, in an attempt to en-
ter this country in violation of law. The
question at issue between the British
Minister and the Treasury Department
seems to be as to what constitutes a legal
residence in Canada. Attorney General
Miller's recent decision says Cinnamon
must be returned to China unless they
can prove their ''domicile'' in Canada or
some other country. How long and un-
der what conditions must the Chinaman
have been resident of Canada to make
him a citizen or subject of Canada,s
Government? This is the question
which will perplex the State and Treas
ury Departments for few days.
In the case of the Detroit Chinaman on
which Attorney General Miller's recent
decision was based, this matter was not
touched upon except incidentally, but at
the same time Attorney General Miller
states that the exclusion Act must apply
against all Chinese laborers, whether
subjects of China, Mexico, Canada, or
any other country. Now the question
arises, will the other countries submit
to the exclusion of their ''citizens'' or
subjects" even though they are China
men? This is an interesting point that
might possibly involve the United States
in complications with England, espec-
tally as British Minister Pauncefote is
inclined to regard all such matters with
much punctility. Without raising this
point as yet i'll his note to the Treasury
Department, he claims that this Port
Huron Chlnaman is by residence enti-
tied to be returned to Canada as his
adopted country. The matter in dispute
will be discussed for the next few days.
Assistant Secretary Spaulding was seen
by your correspondent to-day, and he
said: "We intend to stand squarely by
Attorney General Miller's decision. Chi
namen must prove beyond any doubt
whatever that they are not merely tenn
porary residents or sojourners in Canada.
but are, under all circumstances, entitled
to recognition as Canadian subjects or cit
izens."
Suppose this latter is established by
them, what then?' he was asked
"They would of course be excluded
just the same." said he. "Of course we
must carry out the law of Congress to the
very letter, but as to the deportation of
captured Cinnamon, that is another mat
ter, which must be considered hereafter -

position, could not hold over, and that
the committee would shortly be called to-
gether for the purpose of considering a
nomination. The Chairman states that
he is confident Thayer cannot hold over,
and says that the ab1eSt lawyers in the
State have taken similar position. The
matter has been submitted to the Attor-
ney-General.
The announcement peculiarly compli-
Gates matters, in view of the fact that the
Republican Supreme Court rather inti-
mated with the decisions rendered in the
quo warranto proceedings against Boyd
that Thayer would hold over until 1892.
This idea is in line, however, with the
Alliance and Democratic ideas, and it IS
now quite certain that Nebraska will be
disturbed by fierce political contest at
the approaching election,

ROME, July 23.-In connection with the
reception accorded Monday to Monsignor
Ferrata, the new Papal Nuneio at Paris,
by President Carnot, and the Nuncio's
announcement that he hoped to draw
closer the ties existing between the Vati-
can and France, it is learned that prior 10
his departure from Rome Ferrata had a
long conference with the Pope and Cardi-
nails Rampolla and Rotelli. AS a result
| Of that conference he must have mapped
out the line of conduct for the application
in France of the republican policy of
Cardinal Lavigrie.
The Vatican is absolutely decided in
spite of the threats and persuasions of
the monarchists, to continue the policy of
adhesion to the republic, in order TO re-
store France TO the union and to religious
and political pacification. The renewal
of the triple alliance will only riye
strength to this evolution, which will
mark new departure in the interna-
tional ecclesiastical policy of the Holy
See.
The programme of Ferrata will consist,
first, i'll applying this principle TO the
constitutional right party of NJ. Pibu in
the Chamber of Deputies; second, in pre-
vailing upon the Bishops and clergy TO
make solemn act of adhesion, and,
thirdly, to constitute a vast Catholic
union in the country outside of the old
dynastic parties. The Vatican wishes
above all that the monarchial parties
should not NEEDLE in the movement.

ST. PAUL, July 23.--St. Paul has been
made the headquarters of national
movement by the United Farmers Alli-
ance to corner the entire wheat crop of
the country. At BIZ Wabash street, for
several days large force Of employees
has been engaged in sending out circulars
with the view of having all classes of
farmers keep back their wheat crop until
prices have been advanced to high
point. The plan Is to unite the farmers
In gigantic wheat trust, in which the
producers shall be stockholders, and by
which spectators and wheat buyers will
be squeezed to the wall. George NJ.
Muller, All editor and a prominent Alli-
ance man, is at the head ofthe movement.
The wheat crop of the United States OF
1891 is estimated at 5OO,OOO,O 600 bushels.
The promoters of the Farmers Trust be-
lieve that four-ffths of this can be held
back by farmers from four to eight
weeks, by which it is thought prices will
go skyward. Circulars already have
been sent to the secretaries of alliances
in all the wheat-growing States.
CIRCULARS BEING SENT FROM WASHING
TON.
WASHINGTON, July oh. w. Aver,
Secretary to President Polk, of the Farm
ers' Alliance, and Manager of the Re-
form Press Bureau, says that the work of
sending out circulars designed to show
the farmers of the country that it is to
their advantage to hold back the wheat
crop, was actively proceeding in this city
as well as at st. Paul. Aver said that al
ready 100000 of these circulars had been
sent out from Washington, and during
the next few days an average of 1O0.-
900 day will be mailed, until more than
million circulars altogether are issued.
The circulars will be published in about
1000 weekly papers with which the
bureau is connected.
The information that the issue of such
circular by the Alliance men was in
contemplation became public prema-
turely about two weeks ago, when the
circular, then in course of preparation.
was published in the newspapers. The
final decision to issue the circular had
not at that time been reached, but it has
since been determined upon.
