He Was Very Lax in His Admittancc OF
Chinese - DlsObeyed Explicit Instruc-
tions.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2S.-The Pres.
ident this morning summarily removed
from office Mr. Lotan, Collector OF Gus
toms at Portland Oregon. This unusual
action of the President was taken on the
receipt this morning of telegram from
special agents OF the Treasury Department
who have been engaged for some time in
investigating the fraudulent practices pre-
vailipg in the Puget Sound and Portland
district. The telegram stated that they
had information Of the intended landing at
Portland of large number OF Chinese
coolies. Lotan's summary removal took
place this morning and deputy was placed
in charge and will continue 10 act until
Mr.. Black, the new Collector, qualities.
On June 10, Collector Lotan, in disregard
OF officical instructions from the Treasury
Department, landed from the steamer Dan
ube ABOUT $50 Chinese, claiming TO be mer-
chants, but were described in an Official re-
port 10 the department as "a scaly and un-
couth lot of coolies"
The Chinese coolies now expected are on
board the steamer Haytien Republic en-
route TO Portland, and it is believed by the
Treasury Department that II Collector
Lotan had been left in Office he would land
the Chinese from the Haytien Republic
without regard to law as done in the case
Of the Danube. AS far back as March 3
Collector Lotan WAS instructed by Assist
ant Secretary Spaulding as follows:
''It Is ascertained that many Chinese
enter the United States upon fraudulent
papers, certifying them TO be returning
merchants. You will hereafter disregard
such papers aud refuse entry unless IL Is
proven to your satisfaction that the per-
sons presenting them have the right TO
land"
Since that time many hundreds OF
Chinese have been landed at Portland up
on bogus affidavits and certificates.

THE OHIO PROHlBITIONISTS.
Action Taken BY the state Convention
at Cleveland Yesterday - Their Plat
f0rm.

CLEVELAND, o., June 2S.-Nearly
the entire morning session ot, the State
Prohibition Convention was consumed
by the discussion as to whether the del
egatiOns should vote singly or as a
whole, representing the wishes OF their
counties. The delegates were about
equally divided, those from the north
ern section OF the State desiring that
each delegation should vote according
to the strength of its representation in
the convention and those from the
southern section claiming that delegates
present should be allowed to cast the
full vote to which the respective coun-
ties were entitled, The discussion
grew very hot and charges Of unfair
treatment on the part OF northern dele
gates who were present In force while
the south was not largely represented
were freely made. The northern fac
tion finally triumphed.
The Committee on Platform submitted
resolutions fayoring absolute destrHc-
tion of the liquor traffic, endorsing wo-
man suffrage, advocating the issuing OF
all money by the government, the equit-
able adjustment Of taxes, the control OF
railroads and telegrsphs by the govern
ment, the prohibition of special mar
gins, the protection OF day OF rest, the
granting of liberal pensions, the revls-
ion of Immigration laws, and the cleo
tion OF President and United States and
Senators by direct vote of the people.
The resolutions also denounce the use
of public money for sectarian schools,
and deplore the increase Of local indebt-
edness.
The report of the Committee on Reso-
lutions was unanimously adopted.
In the afternoon the convention got
down 10 business and nominated the fol-
lowing candidates: For Governor, Rev.
Gideon 2. Macklin, or Germantown; Lieu
tenant Governor, S. h. Ellis, of Warren
county; Treasurer. Abraham Ludlow, Of
Springfield; Attorney General, S. E.
Young, of Portage; Supreme Court Judge,
j. A. Gallaher. of Bellaire; Dairy and
Food Commissioner, s. H. Todd, of Wake
man; Member of Board Of Public Works,
E. h. Brosius, of Stark county.

mr.. BLOUNT WILL NOT CELEBRATE.
He Looks Upon the Proposed Fourth OF
July jubilee as Political Move.

July JuDu0e as n rOiltlCdt ulOtos
HONOLULU, June 9S.-Per steamer
Australia via San Francisco.-During
two days that have elapsed since the
departure Of the last steamer for San
Francisco, American tongues here have
been wagging in a vigorous manner at
Minister BIount's refusal TO participate
In the coming Fourth Of July celebra-
tion. Not only did the American Min
lister refuse to attend meeting OF
Americans to arrange for the proper
observance of their National day, but
he also declined to make an address to
his countrymen as part OF their
demonstration. Mr.. Blount gives
as a reason for his policy Of standing
aloof that he believes the political sit
uation here to be so peculiar that it
would not be becoming to MIN to take
part Ia public celebration. Although
he does not say so, 1t is quite evident
that Mr.. BlounJ looks upon the Fourth
of July celebration here as a purely
annexationist affair, and does not wish
to participate in any affair that could
give the impression that he favored
the annexation cause.
The barkentine Pilot, which arrived
from San Francisco yesterday, brought
news Of Minister Thurston's interview
with President Cleveland. Mr.. Cleve-
lands address Is regarded here by the
annexationists as an indication that an
nexation will not not be considered by
his administration.
Now that hope Of becoming part of
the United States is on the wane. the
leading men In charge Of the govern
ment are casting about for something
else. They apparently decided that If
annexation fails, they will not accept a
protectorate until overtures have been
made to England to secure a stable
government II England will have none
OF it, and the provisional government
finds that it caunot stand alone 1t will
come back to the United States for a
protectorate.

Parkersburgs Murderer Still ut Large.
sf,.,.--.., "a u<o,sfsr

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, June 2S.-Elmer
Chaddock, the murderer Of VIM. Pollen, is
still at large.
The police are securing the city and
neighborhood, but the sheriff has done
nothing. 1t is reported that certain parties
know the whereaaouts OF the murderer,
but they are holding out for the reward.
The prosecuting attorney Of this city
telegraphed Governor McCorkle, urging
him to offer reward for the capture, but
the Governor replied that there was no
funds at his disposal for that purpose The
railroad men are greatly excited and will
probably make up reward by subscrip-
tion.
The county will offer reward, it is re-
ported, and if so, there is little doubt the
murderer will quickly be brought to JUS
tlce.
