CHINESE DEPORTATION.
A Detroit Judges Ruling on the Vex-

DETROIT (Mich.), Nov. 5.-Judge Swan
to-day delivered an opinion on the sub
ject Of Chinese deportation, which is per-
haps the first complete ruling on the
yeXed question. The case was that of
Chong Sam, whose arrest was effected at
Port Huron on July 9th, for being un-
lawfully in this country. The Chinaman
was examined by a Commissioner and
found in possession of certificate issued
by the customs officer of Vancouver, b.
c., dated May q, 1891, permitting him to
return TO Canada. 1t was shown also that
he had been arrested at Detroit, June 23d,
and returned to Canada by order Of Com
missioner Graves. Upon his second ap-
pearance the Chinaman was ordered sent
back to China, under the ruling of one of
the State departments, to which was re-
terred the construction of the law. A
brief resume of this decision is to the eff
feet that the order of the Commissioner
directing the deportation of Chong Sam
to China is reversed, and the United
States Marshal is directed to cause him
to be returned to Canada.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Hon. Patrick
Walsh Of Georgia, President of the Au-

President Harrison in response to re-
quest for information regarding the in
dustrial progress of the South, in which
he says: "The South is developing rap
idly, and her manufacturing possibilities
cannot be exaggerated. The South's cot
ton mills used last year over 100000 of
2,500,000 bales consumed by the United
States. In 1880 the South took only $780,
900 bales. OF the 100000 tons of iron
produced last year, the South contributed
100000, or more than the entire produc-
ton of the Union in 1860. The figures
given are approximately correct. The
South's future for the manufacture of
cotton is assured. Her production of iron
and the manufactures thereof afford a
