A DOUBTFUL SEIZURE.
Clothing of the Chinese Crew on the
Oceanic COnfiscated.

Under the direction OF Deputy Surveyor OF
the Port Sam Kuddel the customs inspectors
have OF late been doing remarkably good work
and making so few, II any, mistakes that the
smugglers are now in dread of them seizure
was made on the steamship Oceanic upon her
arrival in port few days ago. however, which
is causing considerable comment, and it Is Just
probable that in the excess of zeal the customs
inspectors have overstepped the limits as pre-
scribed by the law. The Chinese are quick TO
take advantage OF any slip made, and il does
look, from the showing made by both sides at
present. as II the Celestlals had rather the best
of the case.
When the Oceanic arrived here Inspectors
FREEMAN, Ahern, Chaloner and Campbell seized
the following properly belonging 10 the Chinese
members OF the crew aboard the ship: 1850
cigars, bolt OF shirting, II pairs OF silk
trousers, 6 silk blouses. IS silk waists, 3 dozen
SILK hSndkerchiefs, 16 decorated china sauceTs
Inc seizure was made under section 2S09 OF
the Revised Statutes OF the United States.
1nasmuch as the Chinese had made no at
tempt TO land any OF the goods seized and as
tney claim that all OF the articles taken by the
customs officials were for their own private
use, IL Is difficult TO see how the inspectors pro-
pose 10 prove their case. Had any one of the
chinese crew attempted TO smuggle any portion
OF the goods ashore there would have been
some grounds fol the seizure, but as the goods
were on The ste amer and no attempt made by
the crew To remove them the right of the seizure
Is questioned.

will Issue prompt notices TO both the Six Com

apces which be observed in the recent con.
struction OF additions 10 the wooden frame

At I'VE University.
The examinations began yesterday, and it
was noticed that students who recently
spoke so loudly against the calumny on
their honor meekly signed the pledge and
wrote their examination Instead OF accepting
the alternative OF an oral examination. Some
students complained of the fact that in some of
the examinations they had no chance to be on
their honor, for they were placed so far apart as
10 have little opportunity of cheating II they
would. However, one OF the professors stated
that while he should not watch the pupils, as
they were taking an honor examination, he
thought il only fair TO lessen possible tempta-
ton by placing them apart.
Hereafter records of the examinations will
not be given out orally at the recorders office,
but viii be mailed on request of the student
Notices OF deficiencies Will of course be mailed
without request.

GAME PROTECTORS.
The State Commission Meets at
the Capitol.

The State Commission Meets at
the Capitol.
AT the meeting of the game and fish
commission yesterday Messrs. Andrus,
Timberlake, Bird, Won Baumback and
Ferris were present. The report of the
executive agent, the several Wardens
and the superintendent were under
consideration, and such changes and
additions as were deemed necessary by
the board were ordered in the annual
report and the report made ready and
be submitted. Executive Agent Andrus
said he had noted the complaints made
IN different parts of the state, especially
in the newspapers, in relation
to tue lax enforcement of the
game and fish laws, but it was
the almost universal experience Of
the board that the evidence pres ented
to sustain the charges was hearsay. He
believed that game was killed OCCASION
ally by settlers for their own use, by
Indians and half-breeds on the reSerya-
ton, but he did not believe that game
was killed for shipment from the state
to any considerable extent. That had
been checked by the efficient wardens.
He desired to be placed in communica-
ton with any one who knew of viola
tons Of the law of their own knowl-
edge, or with those who certainly know
of those who do know, but does not feel
warranted I'D spending money to in
vestigate mere rumor when the chances
are he will find only mere conjecture.
Such had been their experience.
