MORE MONEY NEEDED.

Revised Estimate of the Cost of De-
porting Chinese.
WAsHIN Oct. 6.-The Secretary
Of the Treasury sends to the Senate re-
vised estimate of the cost of the deporta-
ton of Chinese now in the United States,
in accordance with the provisions OF the
Geary law. Tho statement is supple
mentary to that of September 18th, and
increases the estimate of the total appro-
priation necessary from $4,000, 900 to $40,
335, 900. A portion of this increase, 81 1850,
600, is due to the fact that the steamship
companies have increased the rates OF
transportation of Chinese from San Fran
cisco to Hongkong from $50 to $51.
The remaining portion of the increase
is due to the fact that the first estimate
did not include the expenditure on the
courts which the enforcement of the Act
renders necessary. The First Auditor Of
the Treasury gives the opinion that S35
per capita will prove low estimate OF
cost under this head in California, while
the amount will be greatly increased in
other States.
AS an example of the maximum OF
such costs the Auditor instances the fees
of a United States Marshal in a deporta-
ton case in that State, in which the fees
have reached $3.50. The Auditor thinks
that $40 is a fair average of such costs.
outside of the expense OF confinement,
which is from 80 cents to 81 per day, and
would therefore increase the amount nee
essary Indefinitely.

Company on the Oakland water front
Vice President Crocker said to-day :;
1.-The work ave have in view is stupendous

will afford shipping facilities greater by
far than those at Port Costa. 1t is not our
intention to fence in property of the Oak
land Water Front Company, and we
don't want to fight for what we have
got"
As to the improvements contemplated,
Mr.. Crocker said nothing of Importance
would be done until the question of title
was decided, but that if affairs terminated
as the company hoped they would, some
wonderful changes would lie effected
across the bay.
EsIt is the intention, he said of the COM
pany to make Oakland the grand ter
minus of all roads, and for this purpose
large area of territory is, of course, re-
quired for construction of tracks, depots,
etc. Inlmation of a projected immense
system of elevators was also dropped, and
the whole tenor of the gentleman's re-
marks indicated that the plans of the cor
poration are in an advanced state for all

Charges of Miss Sicl<les Denounced as
Faisehoods.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-In his report to
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Pro-
fessor Putnam, in charge of the Ethno-
logical exhibit at the Worlds Fair, de-
nounces as falsehoods the charges made
by Miss Sickles, Chairman of the Uni
versal Peace Union, that brutal and cruel
exhibitions of Indian dances are given at
the fair. The accusations are character
lied as misrepresentation. There has
been no representation of the Indian sun
dance, and there has not been single
Indian belonging to the United States
who has taken part in any exhibition. ex-
cept the NavajOes, who have been quietly
sitting in their hut weaving and MAX
ing silver work. The Indians from Van
couver Island who are entirely outside
of the jurisdiction of the United States,
have given exhibitions. performing cere-
monial songs and dances.
One ceremony consists of jugglery,
when the Indians pretend to beat them
selves with clubs and appear to become
GOV cred with blood. These clubs have
little tubes made of kelp filed with red
paint. This paint is forced out when the
tubes are pressed against the body. and
this gives the appearance of blood. Even
this exhibition, which is pure jugglery
and of the same class as the jugglery of
the Hindoos and others, is in Itself of
considerable scientific Importance and in
terest. as illustrating the custom which
has been in existence with these people
from time immemorial, was only per-
formed once, and then by the wish of the
Indians themselves, without previous
knowledge. and they were directed not to
give the exhibition again.
