MUST GO BACK TO CHINA,
Minister Pauncefote's Application for Chong
Same Pardon Denied

Same Pardon Denied
The case of Chong Sam, a Chinaman who en-
tered the United States from Canada and who
was ordered deported to China has been finally
disposed Of. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British minister, interested himself in
the case on the ground that the
man had domiciliary residence in Canada and
should therefore be allowed to return to
Canada, and in order to accomplish that pur-
pose he urged that the President grant q pardon
to the Chinaman.
On September 20 the President instructed
the Secretary Of State to inform Sir Julian
that if this were a single case it would give
this government great pleasure to show its con-
sideration by complying with his request, but
there is involved in this case, in my opinion.
the whole question of the success and
enforcement of our exclusion acts. II
Cinnamon can land in Canada and suffer no
other penalty for crossing our line than that
of being returned to Canada from whence they
may again repeat their attempt to enter our
territory. our law becomes practically dead
letter. l have therefor directed the Secretary
Of the Treasury to send this man back to China.
1t is probable that the question of whether il
ID right under our law can be decided by an ap-
plication for writ of habeas corpus in behalf
of this man"
Snoer uate OF OctoDer the secretary OF the
Treasury wrote to the Secretary of State that
''the President has concurred in the opinion
heretofore rendered by the Attorney General to
the effect that there is nothing in the corre-
spondence indicating that Chong Sam is a SUBJ
ject Of her Britannia ma jesty, nor is there any
pretense OF compliance with the
requirement OF law prescribing the
credentials essential for Chinese persons other
than laborers. who seek admission into the
United States, and that therefore the execution
Of the deportation order should be no longer
delayed. The Presiden. also directs that the
attorney for the prisoner should be advised Of
the decision reached and afforded an opportun-
ity to present the question before the courts by
habeas corpus proceedings. If such be deemed
advisable"
Instructions have today been sent to the col
lector Of customs at Port Huron in accordance
with the foregoing, and the collector has been
directed to request the marshal to deliver the
prisoner into the custody of the collector Of
customs at San Francisco, Cal, if habeas corpus
proceedings are not promptly instituted.

THE NEW YORK SITUATION.
Republicans Said to BE More Than Usually
Hopeful OF Success

Reports from New York indicate that the re-
publicans are very much more hopeful Of sue
cess in that state this fall than they
usually are. The situation il very
much mixed for the democratic A gen
tleman from Brooklyn who is familiar with the
political affairs Of the state from a business
man's standpoint said to STAR reporter today
that he was confident that Mr.. Fassett would
be elected. He said that he would himself
vote against Fassett IL he thought Fassett
were merely tool Of Platt's. and
many other independent republicans
would feel the same way, but they
were convinced that Mr.. Fassett was an
independent and self-reliant man who would
not let Platt run him and that the republics
party would get many votes this fall which
would be lost to them il any contrary opin-
ion were held. '0f course" THE
STARS informant said, ''the democrats are
trying to make il appear that Mr.. Fassett is the
creature OF Platt but there is almost as much
prejudice against bossism by Tammany az
there Is against bossism by Platt, and there is
more reason TO believe that Flower will
be controlled by Tsmmany thaa there is
to fear that Fassett will be bossed by
Platt Things look very much mixed for
the democrats. The Kings county democracy
holds the balance Of power, and their vote viii
elect or defeat the democratic candidate. 1t
was the vote there which elected Cleveland and
the vote there defeated him when he ran
again. At this time. while Mclaughlin and
Chaplin are supporting the democratic nominee.
there is no Disgusting the fact thai they dis
appointed and that their support is merely per-
functory.
They do not go into il with the earnestness
ana enthusiasm necessary to bring out the
votes OF their followers and to maze them true
to the ticket through thick and thin. The
chances are that the democratic vote will
fall on right there, and l think that the re-
pubhcans are pretty sure of success. A
large number Of the independent republicans
are supporting Fassett, though they dislike
Platt and Plattism and would not vote the re-
publican ticket if they were not convinced that
Platt was not bossing this election"

A DEBT-PAYING CIRCULAR
Causes Quite an Excitement in the Psteu,
Once Today.

Causes Quite an Excitement in the Patent
Once Today.
A mild sort Of excitement was stirred mn in
the patent Office today by a circular issued by
the commissioner which was very generally
distributed throughout the Office. Almost at
the top of the first page was the following an
nouncement ''The President has directed that
debts contracted by clerks since their
appointment must be paid" To say
that this order created CONSERVATION
in the minds of q majority of the clerks would
be an injustice to the employees in that Office
who are frugal and well able to take care Of
any debts they may contract But no doubt
there were some that viewed with dismay the
possibility of the President actively joining the
forces Of their creditors. Some were indig-
nant, others were defiant and remarked that
they would like to know how that order
could be carried out The situation would
no doubt have become critical had il not been
for the fact that some one noticed that the order
was dated April 10, l645, when Mr.. Polk was
President.
This discovery relieved the tension of feeling
and the clerks were able to finish reading the
circular, which turned out to be q reissue of
orders that had been promulgated by diff
ferent commissioners from lS45 down to
the present time. The orders referred 70
debt paying, prohibited the borrowing Of money
from inventors, attorneys and others having
business before the Office, and requiring the
clerks to pay strict attention to their work dur
ing Office hours.

Flattery is always obnoxious to a

many person shrinks from proffered
praise lest it should be in any sense
tiattering is as obnoxious to true

An old local preacher in Florida was
dilating one Sunday on this subject:
His illustration on the Importance of
being earnest took very unlooked-ior
and somewhat amusing turn. Said
he: Brethren, a Christian ought to
be in earnest and not be ashamed to
let people know he is Il Christian. The
milk and water people don't impress
anybody, and people don't believe
what they say. Now, brethren, sup
pose one of these sort of people weie
to come in and say. Gentlemen,
there is fire in town, and | think it
would be we'll for some Of you TO
think about going out, and trying to
put it out, for you have doubt less heard
that fires sometimes do Il deal OF mis-
chief" Now, brethren, do you think
anybody would believe a man who
would talk about a fire in that way ?
But suppose he had come in and said,
Fire! fire! firen"
A very deaf old gentleman in the
who had not heard a
word Of the first part of the illustra-
ton, heard the word "fire," and,
thinking the preacher was in earnest,
gathered his hat and put out for the
fire, causing for the time no little
amusement, but adding force to the H.
lustration, for the earnest man stirred
the deaf and made him hear.-R.
