OUGHT HE TO Go?
Dong's Chances for China
Seem Good.
His Record as a FeIOn-Twice Con.
victed and SentenCed-Depor-
tatiOn Proceedings.

The Chinese feoD, Dong All Woey, who has
several aliases, was taken before United States
District Judge Morrow yesterday forenoon and
identified upon the testimony OF Detectives
Cox and Glennan. The court ordered him re-
manded 10 Marshal Longs custody to await
further action.
Detectives Cox and Glennan, the former of
whom has been In Chinatown nearly fifteen
years, and the latter eight SO that they know
about every felon there, say they are not acting
independent of any authority. The arrests Of
the two Chinese, Ng Teem and Dong An WOey,
were made. they say. after consultation with
Chief of Police Crowley.
Dong All Woey Is a notorious ex-convct.
The charge In Police Judge CampbelPs court
against him for receiving stolen goods was dis
missed yesterday morning 10 facilitate his
prosecution by the Federal authorities.
He has served two terms In States Prison,
one Of three years at Folsom for the burglary
OF the house OF a Chinese on Sullivan alley, No
vember 29, 1888, aud subsequently he got a
five years. sentence for the burglary of house
on Sacramento street.
The Grand Jury recently indicted him for
stealing cash register from the Yokohama
Saioon-a cash register that weighed almost
larry against him for breaking into house on
Waverly place. Dong was seen walking off
with clock under his arm.
Ng Teen has served three years sentence
for gi and larceny. In 1888 he stole a watch
from a JEWELERS.
Collector OF Customs Wise told a CALL re-
porter yesterday MOI ming that be was securing
from Deputy Clerk Hal all the court records
in the cases OF Chinese felons convicted since
1882. the date OF the first exclusion act so
80 be well prepared with evidence upon which
to act In enforcing the McCreary act.
Mr.. Wise expresses great dissatisfaction with
the apparent indispOsitOn, as he supposes, of
the Federal prosecuting officers toward an
active enforcement OF the law. On the other
hand, Mr.. Garter, the United States Attorney.
says his Office can not move any faster than the
L gal machinery OF the courts will permit.
The McCreary act gives power and clothes
with authority TO make arrests all collectors
and deputies OF customs and internal revenue
and all United States Marshals and their depu-
lies, but the law Is not mandatory in Its letter.
1t uses the word "may" instead q .'shal'
The consequence is that the collectors and
their deputies In the Internal Revenue Service
do not feel inclined 10 act without instructions
from headquarters. the collectors and their
deputies IN the customs service naturally feel
that the burden OF actively executing the law
naturally rests upon the Internal Revenue Off
cials, aud Marshal Long says he will be gov
erned by the actions OF the Federal courts
must have warrants. The Marshal adds that
he may see more clearly what to do later on.

Olympia's deck is four and three.uuarters

Ii all the guns of the Olympia's main
armament were fired at the same time

The Royal Arthur's principal armament.
if discharged in the same manner, would
project 1850 pounds. But owing to the
rapidity of the fire of the Olympia's 5-inch
pieces she would discharge greater
weight Of metal in a given time than
would the ROYAL Arthur. Owing to the
arrangement of the Olympia's battery she
will be able 20 bring more guns to bear in

adopted by the westerners, to protect
themselves and families from the furi-

PATTERSON proceeded to occupy his pit

eighteen or twenty feet to the bottom
of an old well, which had been parti-
ally filled up and forgotten years ago.
His family and neighbors succeeded
in getting him out after few hours
hard work. He was in an exhausted
condition from injury and fright, but
