THE CHINESE QUESTION.
Congressman Caminetti Confers with Pres
ident Cleveland.

Congressman Caminetti Confers with Pres
ident Cleveland.
Congressman Caminetti of California
had short conference with the president
this morning and left the white house
feeling assured it was the intention Of the
president 10 see that the Chinese restric-
ton act was enforced. Mr.. Caminetti de-
MED that it would take anything like the
sum of money that had been mentioned
to enforce the act. for the reason that
those Cinnamon entitled to remain would
have TO secure their certificates at their
own expense, and that those TO whom the
law is really aimed would be frightened
out Of the country the moment an honest
attempt is made to enforce it. Mr.. Cam
inetti is of the opinion that what addi-
tional money NAV be needed will be voted
at the next session OF congress, and he
fears no repeal of the law.
Reports from forty of the sixty-three in
ternstional revenue districts show that
3,444 Chinese have registered. No re-
ports have vet been received from the
Pacific coast districts.
The Chinese minister. accompanied by
his English speaking secretary of legation,
called at the state department this alter
noon and had q conference with Secretary
Gresham In regard to the supreme courts
decision affirming the constitutionality OF
the GearV act He gave no intimatlon
whatever of an intention to suspend dip
lomatic relations with the United states
but, on the contrary, indicated his pur-
pose Of quoting affairs in China Is much

CoNcoRD, n. H.. May 16.-Murderer
Frank G. Almy retired early last evening
He SAID nothing to the death watch aside
from bidding good night in his usually
pleasant manner. The watchers were un-
usually vigilant. but nothing occurred
during their long watch to indicate that
the condemned man was not resting as
well as he had done since they began their
duties. At D O'Clock this morning he
arose. and alter cheerfuliv greeting the
watch dressed himself and ate a hearty
breakfast with apparent relish. Chaplain
Wilkins went to the prison early, and he
was with Almy until the end, but the con-
iemned man paid no attention to the
chaplain's remarks.
At 10 O'Clock sharp the warden, with
the death watch as witnesses for Amy,
delivered Amy TO the sheriff. The latter
informed Amy that he might say any
thing he wished before going to the
scaffold, but Amy said be had nothing TO
say. Meanwhile the witnesses assembled
in full view of the gailows. Upward of
$50 persons were present. At 1O:l33 the
death march was taken up and in half a
minute the scafolG was reached. The
officers quickly strapped Almy's arms at
the elbows and then strapped his lover
limbo, standing in isont Of the prisoner.
AS the sheriff Strengthened up Amy
looked into the officers face and said twice
in an almost inaudible tone: May
speak" The sheriff shock his head. Almy
even then appeared TO want to speak, but
the cap was hastily drawn over his lace
aud he said nothing
Sheriff Hurlburt, after the cap was
fixed. placed the haugsman's knot under
the lett ear. and az 10;16 touched the
spring. The drop feil heavily aud Amy
body went down. To the horror OF the
spectators. his feet struck the floor below,
mis- knees bending under him. Inside OF a
minute officers on the platform OF the
scaflold pulled the body no several feet
1t was evident that the condemned man
sirang,ed to death. At l0:3O Amy was
pronounced dead The doors were then
opened aud the spectators fled past the
galloWs and left the prison.

just Like Turley.


The murder of Conductor Lou Price was q
heartless and cold-bOoded act. and 1t seems
that, if ever justifable. lynch law was this
instance. But 10 joining mob and becoming
party TO q crime such as was committed at
Bedford this morning places a man in the eyes
OF the law as greats criminal as was Lou Prices
murderer. Such conduct brings the courts into
disrespect and leads to believe that the law
is inadequate to dispose OF such matters. We
hold that the law is. sufficient and in this case
should public sentiment have backed the
proper officials, the law would have been ap-
piled with a degree as severe as a mob could
make it. Turkeys crime could have been
tGblished beyond a reasonable doubt There
was sufficient evidences. if reports are to be re-
lied upon, to warrant his conviction Of pre-
meditassd murder. The law could have been
avenged in its regular course without having
been dragged into dust aud made . mockery.
In svenging the death Of poor Lou Price
gang OF men who would apply justice
have laid themselves liable to the law
for jast such an oGense would be con tenn
plated in dealing with the original murderer.
The law should be upheld.

BY the Blowing Up of POpe's Glucose Works
at Geneva, III.
GENEVA, H.. May I7.-With roar that
was heard three miles away, and a concus-
sion that shook every house and shattered
half the windows in the town, the plant
ofthe Charles L. Pope glucose works blew
up this afternoon. Seven men were in
stantly killed. and only one other was in
iured, and he not so badly as to confine
him TO the house for more than week.

A ForcibIe Suggestion.


The Savannah (Gs.) Ae9rs has made seusi-
bic suggestion anent lynchings in the South.
1t thinks if they are to be continued they
would better be iegslized at once, all laws for
bidding them repealed and formal statutory
permission given 10 any crowd of leading citi-
Gems anywhere to hang anybody who. in their
opinion, DO matter how hastily formed, deserve
hanging.
IL will be practically apostolic for any de-
fender of lynch law to answer the suggestion.
The argument behind il is convincing. II IL be
true that public sentiment in the South ap-
proves the lynching of assailsnts of women, IL
is absurd to have laws on statute books for,
biddingit. Such laws openly and defisntly
disobeyed aud treated with contempt by the
officers of the state who are sworn TO execute
them. 1t is only ridiculous farce 20 keep
them on the statute books 1t is more than
this, for their open defiance brings ell law into
disrespect and ENCOURAGES the belief that any
law can be violated with impunity. These
southern newspapers which defend and justify
lynch law should be consistent
Iflynching is iustiiable under any cireum-
stances or for and offense. it is unjust and IN
fair that the laws should directly or implicitly
forbid il. There is no escaping this conclu-
sion. If, on the other hand. lynching is Q
crime, by whomsover done under whatsoever
circumstances; or If il be q crime under any cir.
oumstances, the laws against murder and man
slaughter properly apply 10 it and should
be enforced against it. In such case no self
respecting leader OF public opinion has any
right to do anything but condemn IL in season
and out of season. There is no escaping this
alternative save by remarkable agility in dodg-
ing. The self-respectng course for the people
of South Carolina, for instance where the ma
jority seem to approve lynchlngk-the governor
says he does under certain circumstances, and
one of the senators gives them the sanction OF
his presenoe-would seem to be 20 set on the
suggestion Of the NelUs and give mob law legal
sanction.

IN HARD LUCK.
DIR. Brinkerhoff's NIisstep in His Suit
for Divorce-The Stolen Files.

CHICAGO, May 17.-[Special. DIR. Clar-
collar and the doctor has good reason to
be. The cause of his wrath is the fact
that dispositions in certain suit
which cost him over $1,000 have
twice been stolen from the file reom of
the circuit court. Some months ago it
will be remembered, the doctor began
divorce proceeding against his wife. May
Brinkerhof', charging her with intidelity.
Mrs. Brinkerhoti came back at the physi-
clan with cross BILL charging him with
crimes from cruelty TO burning up In the
kitchen stove children which were
brought prematurely into the world.
To support his case the doctor sent
to Toledo, indianapolis and Cincinnati
and at a great expense procured bulky de-
positions concerning his wife's escapades
in those cities. Not long after they ar
rived in Chicago the dispositions disap-
peared from the file room and all
efforts to trace them proved fu-
tile. The doctor had the papers
duplicated, and the second set were filed
about one week ago, and Saturday last
they were still in the files. Monday
morning they were missing. Regarding
the stealing of the files Clerk Gaulter
said: Under the rules there is no way to
prevent all the files being stolen provided
any one is determined TO steal them. OF
course we might hire a detective. The
files are open to the public
by law. But the second set
of dispositions in this case were
impounded by order of Judge Collins. Ii
that is the case they should have been put
away and no one allowed TO see them"
Clerk Deedy of the file room stated that the
dispositions were in the drawer just before
closing up Saturday and were gone Mon
day morning. That was all he knew about
il. 1t is tough luck on the doctor, but there
is no help for it. He must go down in his
pocket for another fve-hundred- dollar
bill.

The State Disgraced.

There really seems to be not any justification
for the lynching. The criminal was under ar
rest and there was no occasion TO doubt that
full justice under the Law would be meted out
to him. This section Of the state has been dis
grRced by a number OF lynchings since the war,
and whitecspping was for long time favor
lite paStime. The lynehinR OF Turley seems to
have whetted the appetite of the mob for
blood. and the morning papers tell of prepare
tions being made Tor another hanging bee at
Brownstown. The action of the lawless ele-
ment brought reproAoh on the good name of
Indiana, and some action should be taken By
the state authorities TO stop these outrages.

Cheapens Human Life.

NasllngtOn DeinOorat
The effect of the mob's action on society and
law Is the chief feature to be regretted. 1t
will cheaper human life greatly in the commu
nifty where it occurred. Two three lynch
ings in community make ths edcts of the
mob stronger than the law. and thus justice
aud right are thwRrted. The lynohing of Tur-
ley was wrong because there was no reason to
believe but he would have received his just
deserts at the hands OF the law in due time.
Civilized people cannot afford TO encourage
the mob, however inoensod they may feel Any
act that chespens human life is en- act against
good government.

Indiana has been disgraced by Q lynching.
While the crime of Turley was a cold-blooded
one, the men who took the law into their own
hands and lynched him have no valid excuse
for their action. This species of crime is be-
coming too prevalent and should be dealt with
in the severest manner possible. to the end that
