TO TEST THE EXCLUSION LAW.
In the case of Lew Fong, the Chi
nese arrested for being illegally
within the United States, and who
was taken with eighteen more at
Monterey, petition for a writ of
habeas corpus was allowed on the
9th at San Francisco by Judge Nc
Kenna. The Governor took one
week to make a complete return to
the writ, and the case has gone over
to be set when Judge McKenna can
hear it. The petition alleges that
the Geary bill, under which the pro-
ceeding is taken, is unconstitutional
for shifting the burden of proof to
the accused. The case is intended
to test the new law on this question,
but will have nothing to do with
the registration.

of the Bankburn, who were impri.
soned at Victoria for six weeks and

the modus vivendi were that an,
schooner leaving port before thu
agreement had been made and no
being warned could not be seizet
for taking seals in Behring sea
Nearly all tho schooners this yea
left port before the new modu
vivendi had been signed and did no
know that it provided for seizures il
the sea whether or not warning hat
been given. Consequently ever
schooner that sighted a man DIVA
tried to get away to avoid the warn
ing.
On the day mentioned, when some
where to the southwest of Middleton
island, the Ainsworth sighted tn
Mohican and clapped on all sail t
escape. The Mohican gave chas
with steam and sail and overtoo
her. AS she was almost along
side the Ainsworth put about an
got away on tack.
1t was some minutes before tn
Mohican could get around, but whe
she did she bore down on the schoor
er very fast. Again the Ainswort
went about and got away. Th
commander of the man-of-war the
evidently lost his temper, for tn
