Asoee II The United 9easee.
The issue Of the expected treasury Do
partu,ent regulations opens the way for
our Chinese fellow residents to walk up
to tho internal revenue collectors Of their
respective districts, deposit their photo
graphic likenesses and obtain In ex-
change certificates Of protection. These
certificates will enable them to pursue
their callings. whether rs laundrymen,
lumbermeu, miners, OF what not, with
ont fear Of being sent out Of the country
on the charge Of not belonging here.
Their right OF residence will be con-
hrmed by the United States governmsnt
In these documents, which they may we'll
guard with care, inspect with peidA and
transmit a. heirlooms.
Ono point to be noted is that even
those Cinnamon who registered under
the old law must now register again.
For this double labor they can thank
their fellow countrymen who failed to
comply with the original statute, and
thereby caused such notifications of it
rs to make rcregistration necessary.
It will further be observed that the
Chinaman must offer two photographs
taken at his own expense. This Is a pc
cuniary burden, yet ikenesses sufficient
for Identification, If not Of . high grade
Of art. may be had at reasonable prices
in these days. Besides the Chinaman
gets the benefit OF one Of them, returned
attached to his certificate.
II the new law is boon to the China
men, in allowing them a further oppor-
tunity to register, 1t is also an economy
to the government. The report Of Mr..
Carlisle shows that Il, 242 Chinese regis
tered under the old act, and that num-
Der estimated Mt %, 49j failed to register,
awaiting decision from the supreme
court, which was expected to deny the
constitutionality IF the law. Surprising
that nearly one-tenth of the unregistered
should he exempt as merchants, teach
ers, students or travellers. there would
still have been about 81, 900 to deport.
The minimum cost of steerage passage
from San Francisco to Hong-Kong is
*5l. and Secretary Carlisle says that it
would probably cost SIS per head in adj
dition to arrest, try and convey to San
Francisco those liable to deportation.
Thus an expense Of perhaps $3.50, 900
would have been incurred in executing
the law.
There is every reason to suppose that,
with the decision Of the supreme court
sustaining the Gcary act and the regis
tration period extended to May 3 Eext.
this expense will in great part he saved.
and that the Chinese will take out the
certificates emitting them to remain
here uninolested and protected.-New

He Dug for Il.

Hendricks, Of the Inland Repub.
lican is fortunate fellow. This
morning he was flashing a dollar
and fourbits in silver (more than we
have had at one time for six
months) under the eyes of the
PRESS scribe, in atan tilizing man
ner, when the piece of metal which
Uncle Sam says goes for a dollar
but which is only worth 81 cents,
dropped through a crack in the
sidewalk. Hendricks grew deathly
pale as he stopped down to take a
squint for the treasure. We ad-
nit of being selfish to certain
extent, but we really felt sorry for
our brother in store-orders, cord
wood, poultry and vegetables, when
the ever alert small boy came run
ming up and asked "w'at's lost?'
A spasmodic look Of agony passed
over his ashen visage us he ex.
claimed, "Only fve-cent piece!n
The boy looked longingly at the
plank with its huge spikes, but
concluded that it was too much of
a job and went away. After he
disappeared around the corner,
Hendricks procured crowbar and
succeeded in resurecting the mon,
ey from ITS lowly bed.

Berry Wins the Cowboy Race.

The Cowboy race was ended
Tuesday. The first winner was
John Berry. AS soon as Berry's
horse was stabbed, president Short
all, of the Illinois Humane Society,
accompanied by a couple of vet
erinery surgeons, ATTEMPTED to con-
duct an inspection and ascertain
the condition ofthe horse. "Poi-
son" made a vicious kick at the
humane official, who quickly con
cluded there was plenty Of animal
life left in him, and there was no
justification for interference on the
part of the society. Col. Cody
Buffalo Billy declared there was
q great deal more to race for than
mere prize. 1t will show to
the world, said he, what native
American horses would do. Euro
pean nations had been watching
the race and there will be a rush
foe the American animal. Euro
pean nations will want American
bred horses for their cavalry.

Got off his Base.

Some time ago young fellow
came to town and claimed to be a
professional ball player. He could
play ball and our local team az
ranged to pay for his board and
secured him an odd job now and
then, he reciprocating by assisting
them in their games. Last week
he began to act queerly. He would
stay in his room at the Athena
House and would notice no one,
and Saturday he went to Smother
mans livery stable and jumped on
the back of a horse that was loose
in the yard. He sat on the ami
NAL for quite a while and asked
tor bride saying he wished to
ride around the carroll. Mr.. Smeth-
erman went to dinner and return
ing found the fellow had decamped
with the horse. Marshal Stamper
captured him and when asked
where he was going said to Wes-
ton to get work.
lie was noticed to be acting very
strange and a physician said he
was doubtless loosing his mind.
Marshal stamper took him to
Pendleton Sunday night, and
while waiting for the train the fell
low sat and eyed a valise for a few
minutes, when he suddenly rose
and picked it up and started
down town with it, saying sits q
hard game of ball we have got to
play today"
Stamper brought him back tc
the depot, and the fellow observed
a hat which had fallen from
sleeping ira veler's head to tn,
floor. He Immediately proceeded
to pick it up and put it on hi
head. He is doubtless insane
caused by the excessive smoking O
cigarettes, and reading trashy nov
els.

in the case against Frank Fletcher.

Fletcher case this morning affir-
med. by the Supreme court.
! BAILEY & BALLERY.
Thus the hope of the young con-
vict, his relatives, friends and at
torneys for new trial, is dissi-
pated. The supreme court reviews
the case and holds that the lower
court was guilty and none of the
errors alleged by the defense. 1t
considers that the statement of
Petrie, while almost unconscious
from his mortal wound, that Frank
Fletcher shot him was made on the
threshold Of impending death and
is competent evidence; that the at
tempt to impeach the testimony of
the. boy, Ollinger, was groundless;
that the alleged confession Of Wal
ter Denitson was evidence Of the
merest hearsay character, and
clearly inadmissable, etc. Num-
+, erous authorities are cited and the
opinion covers five or six type
written pages.

From Wednesdays dispatches we
learn that Collector of Customs
James Lotan was summarily dis
missed and Deputy Collector Pike
placed in charge of the office Coll
lector Lotan said:
Il received a dispatch from the
department at Washington shortly
before noon instructing me to turn
over the collectors office to deputy
Pike. l have done so and he is
now in charge. | think this whole
affair is at the instigation of a
special agent of the treasury de-
partment who was sent to the
coast to work trouble forthis office.
Mr.. Cleveland has stated that he
would remove no republican ex-
cept for cause. The fact of the
matter is they had no cause, conse-
quently they hadIto find a cause. In
view Of the fact that on July / /
will step out, it seems as if | might
have been allowed to retire in pro-
per FORM"
On June Is, Collector Lotan, in
disregard of official instructions
from the treasury department,
landed from the steamer Danube
about 250 Chinese, they claiming
to be merchants, most of-whom were
described in the official report to
the department as being a scaly and
uncouth appearing lot of coolies.
Chinese coolies are now expected on
board of the steamship Haytian
Republic. enroute for Portland, and
it was believed by the treasury de-
partment that if Collector Lotan had
been left in the office he would land
them without regard to the law, as
he did in the case of those on board
Of the Danube. AS far back as
March 3, Collector Lotan was in
structed by assistant Secretary
Spaulding as follows:
1t is ascertained that many Chin
ese enter the United States upon
fraudulent papers certifying them
to be returning merchants. You
will hereafter disregard such pap
ers and refuse them entry unless it
ra#ed To your satisfaction by
the parties preseating them that
they have a right to land. Since
that time many hundred Chinese
have been landed at Portland upon
bogus affidavits and certificates.
