ENTRANCE PERMITS.

An important notice appears in
this number relative to the issue Of
permits to Chinese. 1t contains
the regulations provided for by the
Act approved on the 18th of Janu-
airy, of the current year, and these
should be carefully read by all who
are interested in the subject. The
issue of these permits is sur
rounded with so many safeguards,
that the possibility of fraud is al
most excluded. In the case of
permits to enter the kingdom
granted to merchants abroad hav-
ing business interests here, a $500
bond is required, conditioned upon
the departure of the merchant or
traveller within the prescribed limit
of six months. The bondsmen
must be residents of this king
dom. Another useful provision re-
quires that the statements upon the
strength of which entrance permits
are issued to women and children
under ten years having relatives OF
guardians in this country, shall be
certified to by the Chinese CONNER
cial Agent.
Each applicant for permit must

Operations of the Maine Law.

Governor III. B. Cleaver of Maine
in his recent inaugural address
said on the prohibitory law: "The
restraining influence of our laws
upon the sale of intoxicating
liquors has had a marked and
beneficial effect. The people of
Maine have repeatedly re-afirmed
their adherence to all reasonable
provisions for the suppression of
intemperance, and the educational,
moral and religious influences, con-
stantly being exerted to maintain
a healthful public sentiment, have
had controlling force in repress-
ing the manufacture and sale of in,
toxicating liquors in our State"

Mr.. G. J. LYONS furnishes some
statistics of rainfall in this morn
ing's paper which will make those
uninitiated in the mysteries OF
tropical climates stare and gasp.
Noah himself, if he had rain
guage, could hardly have conscien-
tiously sworn to more than twelve
inches in five hours. The district
of Kau, Hawaii, where it notori-
ously never rains at all, is yet to be
heard from, but an old resident Of
that quasi-Sahara claims to have
seen fifteen inches in two hours or
so wash everything which was not
spiked down out to sea.

AFTER THE FACTS.

The investigation which the Gov
eminent has Instituted in regard to
the Board of Health, will meet
with the sympathy of all who favor
an honest administration of affairs.
There are thoso who believe in
hushing up scandals of this kind.
We are not of their opinion. The
fullest and most searching inquiry
should be made, no matter whose
character suffers. The Board OF
Health is believed not to be the
only Bureau of the Government
which has been defrauded by dis
honest contractors. If this is true,
it should be shown to be so by
proofs, while if it is false, the per-
sons implicated are equally en-
titled to have its falsity made
apparent. Inquiries of this kind are
not pleasant to make, and the task OF
the Government is not an enviable
one. None the less, it was right
that it should be undertaken, and
we believe it will be carried out
with thoroughness and fidelity.
The course of Mr.. Reynolds in
the entire transaction marks him
as faithful and scrupulously con-
scientious official, as indeed his
many years of service had long
since proved him to be.

Charles De Lesseps' Statement.

The report is that M. Charles de
Lesseps has made an unreserved
statement of all the facts within his
knowledge, and will do the same on
his own trial and at any separate
trials of others connected with the
scandal. nj. de Lesseps' motives are
stated to be not only to secure i'm
munity as much as possible from the
penalty of the law, but also to con-
vince the public that the Panama
company was forced by irresistible
pressure to choose between wholesale
corruption and the threatened ruin of
the enterprise. It is said that the &C.
acknowledgements made by M. de Les
seps are of the most startling char
acter, and will create sensation in
America as we'll as in France.

. QUESTION
OF HEALTH

By last steamer our |
stock of DR.. Jaeger's I'm
derwear for men has been |
replenished.
We are now prepared to |
fit any one be he a dude |
or heavyweight.
You've been suffering
long enough from that |
horrid cold; you've spent
a small fortune for
patent medicines and
doctors advice for that
chronic rheumatism. Let
us prescribe for you,
we know what ails
you. You're wearing un-
derwear of dead vegetable
fiber, no wonder you're
sick.
Let US advise you to
make n change. You
should wear under gar
ments of pure animal wool.
Nature so intended it, but
you've been running con-
trary to nature until at
last, she has broken down.
Do you wonder at it? Let
us tell you something:
Animal wool is the mate
rial devised by nature for
animal covering and pos
sesses, as the simplest
experiments will prove the
valuable quality of not
attracting or retaining the
noXious mal-odorous mat
ters, which the animal
body exhales. Moreover
being q slow conductor of
heat animal wool does not
chill even when damp.
Some friend will perhaps
tell you that WOODEN under
clothing is too hot for this
climate. Don't be misled.
That all-wool clothing
protects the body from
chill is ineligible to every
one, but it is a common
error to suppose that such
clothing is hot in summer.
Heat is felt to be oppressive
when the natural action
of the pores is hampered
and the eXhalation cannot
escape.
If the covering is imper-
vious there is a strong
desire to throw everything
off from the stifled skin;
but the wearer of porous
wooden covering through
which the skin can breathe
is no more oppressed by it
than is q cricketer by his
fannels, which every
athlete knows to be the
coolest, safest, most com
Portable wear for violent
exercise in hot weather.
Tfyou value your health,
don't delay, but encase
your body in garments Of
pure animal wool as made
by DR.. Jaeger, and fol

As it may not be generally
known how the election of Presi-
dent and Vice President is con-
Quoted, it may be here stated that
each State votes for presidential
electors, the number of which
equals the number of senators and
representatives which it has in
Congress. These electors met in the
capitol of each State on the 9th of
January, and cast their votes, and
after certifying the same in the
prescribed form, they choose a
messenger to carry the result to
Washington and deliver it to the
Vice President. The mode of
electing the President and Vice
President, now in use, is a very
cumbersome one, and is not con-
sidered fair test of the popular
choice. For these reasons it is
becoming unpopular and efforts
are being made to secure change
in the constitution. The result
may be that before another Pre-
sidential election a change will be
made by which the President and
Vice President will be chosen by q
direct vote of the people, the can
didate receiving the largest vote tc

The MISUNDERSTANDING Case Dis
posed Of
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-After the
reading of the presidents message in
the house. Mr.. O'Farrell called up the
case of Richardson and Belknap, both
claiming to have prima facie title to a
seat in the house from the Fifth Michi-
gan district. Mr.. Burrows presented
the case of Mr.. Belknap, and con-
tended that the certificate which Mr..
Belknap held was one Of the best ever
presented to the house. Mr.. Weadock
presented the claims of Mr.. Richard
son, stating that the action of the SUI
preme court of Michigan was clearly
without jurisdiction. Messrs. Springer,
Brown Qnd. }, Heard and O'Farrell also
maintained the legality of Richardson's
claim, and Mr.. Dalzell attacked. Mr..
Dingley moved that the matter be re-
ferred to special committee of five
members, to be appointed by the
speaker, with instructions to report
thereon within 10days. Mr.. Dingley's
motion was lost-yeas 139, nays 1874.
Then came the vote ON the Repub-
lican resolution declaring Belknap en-
titled to his seat on prima facie case,
and it was defeated yeas ia, nays 1913.

A Bill to Repeal the Sherman
Act Introduced by Sena-
tor Hill.
Stewart Of Nevada Has a Meas
ure to Restore the Right Of
Coinage.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The proceed
tngs in the senate were of great public
interest. In the first place, the presi-
dents message was read and listened to
with marked attention on both sides of
the chamber, not a senator moving
from his position for the quarter of an
hour or more which the reading occu-
pied. The MESA &c was referred to the
committee on finance, and its immedi-
ate printing was ordered.
Then the foodgates of legislation
were thrown wide open, and current
of bills on financial and other subjects
was admitted. Mr. Hill of New York
was the first senator to get in bill for
the repeal of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman act. Mr.. Stewart of Ne
vada followed with two other bills land
SPECIFY on the same subject. In the
speech he declared himself against the
repeal of the Sherman act, and such
repeal would, he said, destroy silver
coinage forever.
LOu80S hOSO1NLlOus
A resolution was offered by Mr..
Lodge of Massachusetts directing the
committee on finance to report a bill
for the repeal of the purchase clause OF
the Sherman act, and providing for a
vote on the passage of such bill by the
s2d of August if not sooner reached.
This resolution was supplemented by
another offered by Mr.. Hale of Maine
fixing the hour of meeting of the sem
ate from and after Thursday next at II
q. m.
These resolutions precipitated dis
cussion in which several of the leading
senators on both sides of the chamber
participated. They went over without
action. In the course of the discussion
Mr.. Sherman declared himself in favor
of full and fair debate, without imi-
tation of closure, and Mr.. Teller said
that the debate would not come to an
end in 80 or even 60 days.

Worlds Fair Exhibitors Refuse 70
Enter Their Machines.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS. Aug. g.
The hopes of the North Dakotans
scared very high in expectation that
the field trial of harvesters would be
held in their state but they are dashed
to earth. The exhibitors at meeting
decided unanimously not to hold such
tests, and accordingly the plan falls
fat. Every assurance had been given
Chief Buchanan of the agricultural de-
partment that the exhibitors would go
into tho tests and five or six had def
nitely accepted. After coming to-
gether, however, they decided that
nothing would be gained by field trials;
that the time was too short to obtain
and prepare their machines, and. in
short, they had never asked for field
tests and did not want them now.
They say that they came to the worlds
fair with the understanding that they
were not to take their implements out
on any farm.
This decision of the exhibitors is very
disappointing to the North Dakota
commissioners, who had arranged for
transpor tatiou with the Great North
ern, on the very bright assurances from
Chief Buchanan.
