HELD BY THE COLLECTOR.

The Experience OF Two Celestials on Re-
turning to America-Dr. Donehoo Has
Tilt With an Omoiai-A Chinese Elec>
trician Goes to South America.
Two of DR.. Donehoo's Chinese proteges
returned to Pittsburg yesterday after two
years absence in their native land. The
recent Chinese legislation did not give them
any trouble, as they had their papers prop
erly made out Yee Foo and Yee Din left
Hong Kong June "a and arrived in San
Francisco August 16 There were 100 of
their countrymen on the vessel re-
turning to the United States, and
the anxiety of each of them as they
approached the port grew intense. They
did not know how they would get through
the examination by the collector of the
port. AS they came from the ship they
commenced shouting out who they ere
until the noise was almost deafening. The
collector told them to be quiet and answer
their names as called. "Yee Foo" was the
first to be called out, and he passed through
without any trouble, as did Yee Din shortly
after. About half of the Cinnamon were
detained on account of their papers not be-
ing drawn properly.
Rev. Donehoo has been having a tilt
with Collector Nelson, of the port of Penn
bina, on the borders OF Manitoba Yee Lee,
Chinese resident of Pittsburg, arrived
there several days ago and was detained.
The collector was inclined to be ugly in the
matter, stating the papers which Dr.. Done
hoo had given the man to be used on his re-
turn were not right DR.. Donehoo wrote
and explained matters to Secretary Crown,
who replied that the man should be allowed
to enter. Monday he telegraphed to the
collector the Departments decision, but
could get NO reply. Yesterday he received
dispatch from Yee Lee in which he stated
he had been admitted. but was quarantined
in shanty on account of smallpox in the
neighborhood, and would not be able to get
away before Saturday.
Bert Lee, an electrician, left the city for
South America the other day to erect en-
electric light plant there. DR.. Donehoo
thinks he will have trouble to get back into
the country, as he did not take the papers
required by the Government. "He could
pass for Japanese" continued Rev. Done
hoo, 'but he will not practice deception"

THE SUPERINTENDENT RAN.

Beaver Falls Strikers Try to Interview MAN.
aEer Joseph Wriggley.
The Carnegie Company made no effort to
place non-union men in their Beaver Falls
mills yesterday. 1t is stated upon good
authority that an effort will be made to start
the mills September 1. Tho union men
will be given the preference to return to
work providing of course they will renounce
the Amalgamated Association.
The mill officials will say nothing. Last
evening Superintendent Joseph Wriggley
>was seen in the street car going toward the
mill in company with six strangers. They
all looked like workingmen. He left the
car and the men continued on their way.
Some of the strikers who saw him tried to
converse with him, but when he saw them
coming he ran.
They called upon him to stop, but he
continued his flight until he reached his
home several blocks distant. Here he took
refuge and would not be interviewed. The
leaders believe that crisis is approaching
and are doubly on the alert.

LOWER UNION MILLS IDLE.

Police on Duty There and Will Remain
Until Further Orders.
The Lower Union Mills of the Carnegie
Steel Company did not begin operations
yesterday morning as planned by the man
agement. Police are on duty there, and
will remain until further orders On this
account the strikers think it is probable the
firm will start the mills before the end of
the week.
The Press Committee deny that the
strikers have inaugurated a boycott against
John S. Oehling, barber at No. 1888 Penn
avenue. They say 1t makes little if any
difference to them if he shaves all the nom
union men in the country. Outside of the
dynamite throwing the only new matter
reported is that rougher from Sharpsburg,
who has been working in the Upper Mill,
has left the employ of the company.
Mrs Mary Semple, Molly Lyons and
Julia Morris, who were arrested Tuesday
for throwing stones at non-union men, were
sent to the workhouse. Mrs. Semple re-
ceived q sentence of six months, while the
other two escaped with 90 days each.

decently to her, and when she replied in
dignantly he had struck her in the face,
knocked her down ani stolen her hat, watch
and purse containing $11.

turn to Allegheny she saw man whom she
claimed to be her assailant Three Alle-
gheny officers were On the train, and to
Officer McCune she appointed out Joseph
Mccarthy, bartender on Grant street.

THE IRON CITY COLLEGE

Obliged to Enlarge Its Quarters-The
Progress OF PIttsburg's Leading Repre-
sentative Business School.
In an interview yesterday with Me
Charles j. Smith, Principal of the Iron
City College, that gentleman stated
that the past season was unprece-
dented IN their HISTORY both for in
crease in attendance and membership and
also in successful results of the work by
students. The healthy growth of this in
stitution has necessitated doubling the
space used in past years to accommodate
the students. Much money has been spent
in handsomely reftting and decorating the
study and recitation rooms, making them
very attractive in appearance; and an ele-
vator of ample capacity carries students
from the street to the various floors
THE COLLEGE CATALOGUE FOR 1892
Is the handsomest publication issued this
year by any school in the United States.
and owing to its expensiveness it will only
be sent on application. The subject matter
of the catalogue is as high class as the press
work. and is free from innuendoes or insinua-
tions which so often mar college publications.
Mr.. Charles j. Smith, the Principal. would
not for moment permit anything like per-
sonalities or reflections. He has put his
entire heart and enthusiasm into the work of
the school, sinking his identity in that of
the Iron City College, with the result
that to-day the college is the progressive,
model Institution of the country. Its
usefulness is not local, but is
far-reaching; and in every section of the
country are found to-day successful and re-
spected business men and women, who look
proudly back to the Iron City College from
which they obtained their early training.
Mr.. Charles ]. Smith rejoices at
THE SUCCESS OF HIS LIFE WORK.
He is proud of the friendship of those
who graduate every year from the school of
which he is Principal, tor Mr. Smith is not
Influenced by mere mercenary considers
tions but is the careful and experienced ad-
wiser as we'll as instructor of the students.
And even after the prescribed course of
study is scompleted and the diplomas given,
the college does not lose its kindly interest
in the graduates, but hundreds OF young
men and women owe their salaried positions
to the recommendations and personal efforts
of Principal Charles j. Smith. The Iron
City College is in very fact an alma mater
"a fostering mother to her children.

Dress Goods

Are arriving, so now there are
additional reasons for your COM
ing to the store, as you have
your choice of the bargains,
which must be sold, whatever
the loss, and you have first
glimpse of the new fabrics that
promise to be fashionable for
the coming season.
An inducement on these new
goods will be found in the
closeness of the prices with
which we open the season. You
get more in width and quality
in what you buy than you find
generally the case. A big busi-
ness at a small profit is the rule
in this Dress Goods Depart
ment.

of these things il we insist on them;
and even If we do not obtain them
all, we certainly can obtain some Of
them; and If we do, we will be in
tinitely better off commercially than
we are now. Would we be any worse
off politically?
BUGABoo.
Mr.. Davies has conjured up
bugaboo, and says that it will be
dangerous to give the United
States any privileges here, because
sometime she might get into a fight
with some other nation, aud that
other nation might come down here
and shoot at the United States and
hit us. He also says that the United
States repair shops and store-houses
might become the center of band
of thieves and opium smugglers, who
would spread out over the surround
ing country and despoil the inhabit-
| ants and retreat within their lines
where they could not be reached by
process from the Hawaiian Courts.
As to the latter proposition, if it de
serves any serious consideration at
all, it is fully covered by the state
ment already made that there is no
proposal to part with any territorial
| Jurisdiction by the Hawaiian Govern
ment; so that there will be no terri
tory withdrawn from the operation
of warrants issued from the Hawaiian
Courts. AS practical subject, [
submit that even il territory was
coded to the United States, the sug
gestion that United States military
station should be the place of rem
desvous for thugs and smugglers is
SO preposterous that it could have
originated nowhere except in the
brain of the British Consular Agent,
the representative of the Canadian
Pacific Railroad, and one who has
made himself conspicuously the op-
ponent of everything tending to
establish closer and more friendly
relations between Hawaii and the
United States, and whose private,
selfish financial interests are identi-
fed with the development Of British
instead Of American trade.
| NOT so EASILY SCARED.
With the plain. evident, patent,
material advantages which are to be
obtained by granting to the United
States the right to use something
which we do not and cannot use our
selves, and in the utilizing of which
the United States will spend enor-
nous sums, the greater portion of
which will be spent in this commu-
nifty for the benefit of our citizens,
are we to be frightened into burying
our gold mine and luxuriating in our
poverty by any such cock and bull
scare-crow fears as this theory that
at sometime in the dim and misty
future somebody may get mad at
somebody else, and that unintention-
ally we may get hit. [ submit that
Mr.. Davies does not conduct his own
business on any such nonsensical
contingencies as this; and that if we
residents of Hawaii are sensible men,
and propose to deal with the matter
in matter Of fact business fashion,
we will not be deferred from seeking
and securing our plain business in
terests by any such fimsy, thread
bare old scarecrow as this pitiable
pretext which Mr.. Davies is trying
to scare us with.
