CONSTITUTIONAL, CERrAINLY.

After all, II the Chinese now in the
United States had Obeyed the law there
would be no trouble over the Geary
Act, and the difficult necessity of de-
porting 1OO,OOO unregistered Chinese,
now scattered over the country, would
not exist
The Constitution provides that all
persons who are in the United States
lawfully shall not be interfered with.
The Chinese. who failed to register as
required by the Geary law, are here I'M
latgf,tUy. II may be a harsh and even
brutal law, but it is none the less law
and the unregistered Chinese disObeyed
It's requirements.
So far as the question of constitution
ality is concerned the point raised by
Chief Justice FULLER was settled by
the Supreme Courts recent decision as to
the constitutionality Of a certain clause
in the Mckinley bill, to the effect that
Congress had tho constitutional right to
pass any law it chose. Congress chose to
pass the Greay Act, and therefore 1t
was law when the case was brought be-
fore the court, and the Chinese who
failed TO obey it by registering cannot
be sheltered under that clause OF the
Constitution which provides for non-in-
reference with persons ldlofully in the
United States.
The esteemed Intelligeacer, therefore,
is hasty in claiming that the Supreme
Courts decision establishes the right Of
the government TO depOrt objection
able aliens" whenever it pleases. If
these objectionable aliens" are here
in disobedience OF law, the United
States. under this ruling, have that
right; but 10 must FIRST be shown that
their presence here is llRlalCGtL before
they can be forcibly expelled from the
country.
The supreme courts decision aHectS
Chinese only, and could have no refer
ence TO persons Of any other nationality,
unless 1t should please the high and
mighty Congressional mind to pass a
Ike act requiring all persons not
now citizens Of the United States to
register or leave the country.
The Chinese, among all the nations Of
the earth, have been selected byCongress
as not coming under that prime senti-
ment of the constitution Of the United
States that all men are born free and
equal. Bot even so simple an instru-
ment as the Constitution Of our fathers
presents technlcslities to the legal mind
which enables Congress to violate its
spirit and observe its letter.

continued his argument before the Boring
Sea Tribunal of Arbitration to-day in be-
half Of the British case He presented adj
ditioual documents designed to prove that
Boring sea was not a mere clausem, over
which Russia had exercised sovereign do
miuion. Sir Charles said that he regretted
occupying the time of the tribunal TO prove
what was already absolutely clear but
as neither tribunal nor counsel for
the United States intimated that the
point had been proven, he could
not feel justified in leaving stone unturn-
ed i'm support of his argument. Great

MAY HAVE SOME REFORMATION.
A Letter From moundsvilIe Convict to
the Pittsburg Police.

A Letter From a MoundsvilIe Convict to
the Pittsburg Police.
TITTsBURG, PA, May IA letter
from prisoner in the Moundsville,
West Virginia. penitentiary received at
Pittsburg police headquarters to-day
kept the officials guessing. The writer
limited at dark crimes and ability to
clear falsely accused persons, but mixed
up his information so badly that after
reading the letter the officers were not
sure they grasped his meaning.
The prisoner occupies cell 32S, and on
account OF being hard OF hearing is
known as "Deafy." He wants to know
the whereabouts of railroad telegraph
operator who was stationed at Ridgway,
on the Buffalo, Rochester aud Pittsburg
railroad before wreck on that road
some time ago between Ridgway and
Johnsburg. He thinks the operator
and man who was in the saloon bust
ness in this city at one time, are now in
Allegheny, and may want him as
witness II they were accused OF being
responsible for the wreck. He evident
" knows something about the wreck
for he writes of overhearing q CONVEX
satlon between two men known to him
as pete" and "Fltzsimmons," in which
they were arranging to commit some
ogense on the West Penn railroad. The
letter Is indefinite and unsatisfactory,
but the fact that the writer located his
disreputable acquaintance In this vi
cinity caused the police 10 think IL
would be worth the trouble to make an
investigation.
The Miller robbery. and the Sharps-
burg case indicate that professional
crooks are at work, and the letter may
result in their detection. The commu
nication was sent to General Superin-
tendent McCargo, OF the Allegheny Val
ley railroad, with request for informa-
ton about the wreck mentioned and the
operator. Another letter was sent to
the penitentiary asking for history Of
prisoner 329.

The enterprisiDg firm OF Kurner &
Chew last night rendered their en-
ployes a banquet. 1t was an innovation
as ENJOYABLE as it was unusual. About
nine O'Clock the employees with their
wives and sweathearts assembled at the
store on Twelfth street. The full
Opera House band was present. AT a
signal from Mr.. Kurner, the Inspiring
notes of q march were struck up by the
band, and thirty couples formed in line
and marched up Market street to the
Hotel Brunswick. They were met by
the proprietor, Martin Thornton, and es-
corted to the dining room, where after
brief season OF social conversation they
sat down TO feast that would have
tempted an epicure. The elaborate menu
was very pleasantly discussed until near
~ eleven o'clock. Then Mr.. Ross Chew
arose and delivered neatly worded
address on behalf of the firm. The
speech would have done credit to Chaun-
cey Depew When the applause which
| followed his remarks subsidized, Mr..
J Harry Kurner replied for the employees.
During the progress of the banquet
the band discoursed a programme Of
excellent music. The affair was well
managed and very enjoyable through
out.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 1.-THE
findings of the General Court Martial,
convened at Fort Leayenworth, Kansas,
for the trial of Captain William S.John-
son, retired, and their recommendation
in the case have been dsapproved by
President Cleveland. The court martial
was presided over by Col. James W.For-
sythe, Seventh Cavalry, and Captain
Sidney w. Taylor, Fourth Artillery,
was Judge Advocate.
The general charge against the officer
was conduct unbecoming an officer and
gentlemen, to which .here were three
Specifications.
The court found him guilty Of assign
ing and transferring his pay for Janua-
~, 1898, to two different parties, and 4
the general charge mot guilty, but
guilty of conduct to the prejudice OF
good order and military discipline"
The court sentence him "to be repri-
manded by the reviewing authority"
Secretary Lsmont's order, which
gives the disapproval Of the President,
says:
"In private life person tried and ad-
judged guilty Of assigning property as
collateral and then collecting and ap-
propriating It's avalls to his own use, or
of transferring for value received the
same property to two separate persons.
would be subjected to severe and humil-
iating punishment.
That a court martial, comprising
icers Of rank and experience, should 80
lightly regard the similar sffenses here
fully established and sound, is a re-
proach 10 the service, and the proceed
ing is In marked Inconsistency with the
duty OF protecting and maintaining the
high sense of personal honor which mas
long characterized the reputation Of the
army"

AmBAssADORs AND MINISTERS.

Ez-Minister LINCOLN in New York
Times interview expresses his approval
Of the elevation of the American minis
ter 20 Eagland to the rank Of ambassa-
dor. His reasons are not sentimental,
but strictly business, for Mr.. LINCOLN
is a plain, practical, every day Ameri-
can.
AT the Court Of st. James foreign rep
resentatives are recognized In this order:
ambassadors, ministers, ministers resi-
dent, etc, and according TO this rule all
diplomatic business is transacted. The
United States have heretofore had
simply minister "a highest representa-
tive, and ne bas had to stand
aside and let the ambassadors OF other
nations pass. because of their higher
rank. Mr.. LINCOLN says:
"Anv ambassador is entitled to present
the matters on which he has called in Rd-
vance Of ministers who may have come be-
fore him. This rule is strictly adhered %.
