VIII BE Enforced.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Congressman
Caminetti, of California, had short
conference with the president yester-
day morning and left the White house
feeling assured that it was the inten-
ton of the president to see that the
Chinese restriction act was enforced.
Mr.. Caminetti denied that it would
take anything like the sum of money
that has been mentioned to enforce the
act, for the reason that those Chinese
entitled to remain would have to Sc
cure their certificates at their own ex-
pense, and that those against whom
the law is really aimed will be fright
ened out of the country.
Reports from forty of the sixty-three
internal revenue districts show that
%, 3O4 Chinese have registered No re-
ports have yet been received from the
Pacific coast districts.
The Chinese minister, accompanied
by his English-speaking secretary of
legation, called at the state depart
ment and had conference with
Secretary Gresham in regard to the SUI
preIne courts decision affirming the
constitutionality of the Geary act. He
gave no intimation whatever of an in
tention to suspend diplomatic relations
with the United States, but on the con-
trary indicated his purpose of quieting
attai!s in China as much as possible.

WASHINGTON. May 19.-The future

Your predecessor, said Comptroller
Eckels to the new examiner, was re-
moved from office for three reasons-he
drank too much whisky, he borrowed
money from the banks he examined
and he reported favOrably on banks
when their condition was decidedly I'M
favorable. When YOU are guilty of any
of these offenses you may expect to be
called upon to tender your resignation.

Ca, and Suspension of the Banks.
BRUNSWICK, Ga, Nav 19.-Bruns-
wick is in the throes of intense excite
ment. The financial wave which has
been sweeping over the west seems to
have struck with great force, and two
of the banks of the town have been
swept away. Added to this is the news
of the deliberate suicide of the presi-
dent of one of these institutions, a man
who has been one of the most substan-
tial financiers of this section of the
south.
Shortly after the bank opened yes
terday morning President Ullman, of
the Ogelthorpe National bank, and w.
E. Burbage, president of the First Ma
tional bank. were in earnest converse

man stated that he wished to step
into the back room for a moment. did so,
closing the door behind him. In an in
slant the report of a pistol was heard
and the bank officials, rushing in,
found their former president, with a
pistol in his hand and bullet hole in
his head. He lived only few moments.
The doors of the bank were closed, pay
ment of checks suspended and the bank
examiner wired to come and take
charge of the institution.
4 meeting of the board of directors
of the First National bank was imme-
diately called by President Burbage
and after a brief consultation it was
decided to suspend business aud put
that bank also into the hands of the
bank examiner. This action was taken
by the First National because of the
relations of the two banks and the
certainty of a run. The First Nation

dams holding the water from Lakes Ida
and Milton have given way and a
mighty flood is raging down the Long
Prairie river. All the bridges west of
town are washed out or stayed with
ropes and are impossible. Much dam
age must result to meadows adjoining
the lakes and rivers. The water has
been unusually high in all the lakes
near here. About 5000 acres of lake
surface and surface water must find an
outlet through the one river. There
will be little damage to mill property

WASHINGTON, Nav 19.-Congressman
McAleer. who represents the only dem
ocratic district in Philadelphia. walked
into the Office of Assistant Treasurer
William E. Curtis with a constituent
The man was an applicant for assistant
inspector of hulls, and had served in
that capacity under Cleveland's first
administration at no discredit to him
self. McAleer introduced him. Curtis
nodded perfunctorily.
This is the man whom am urging
for appointment as hull inspector"
said the congressman.

LOOM said Mr.. Curtis, apparently in
different to the presence of the appli-
can't.
He keeps a saloon and restaurant, l

said the man, land kept a saloon and
restaurant under Mr.. Cleveland's first
administration when held this place,
and / don't think any one can say that

Mr.. Curtis crossed one leg over the
other, and wheeled around to his desk
with the remark:
I'VE will not appoint saloon-keepers
to any position.
His manner indicated that he desired
to end the interview right there, and
McAleer and his constituent left the
Office thoroughly disguised with the
silk-stocking ideas that found their

Cause OF the Trouble.
PTTTsBURG, Kan, May 2O.-The strike
is on, and it is on in dead earnest. Not
a miner belonging to the miners organ
ization in this district will go to work
this morning, and many men who do
not belong to the order have joined the
strikers. There is not the least excite
ment, however, and stranger in the
city would never imagine that great
strikewas in progress. The miners are
cool and determined, and are perfectly
willing to listen to any proposition the
operators may make, providing it is
made to their organization.
Here lies the trouble. The operators
do not propose to recognize the miners
organization, and the miners are not
willing to let the operators confine the
question to an individual basis. Hither-
to operators have ignored the organiza-
top of miners, having posted notices
regarding their prices at the different
shafts, and, unless future negotiations
are confined to the operators and the
executive board of the U. NJ. w. A, the
strike will be prolonged indefinitely.
ALL OUT AT WEIR.
WEIR CITY, Kan, May 20.-The strike
among the coal miners of this district,
including Cherokee and Crawford coun-
ties, has come and is apparently here
to stay awhile. Hamilton men came
out Thursday and last night those
working for Keith & Perry, the Kansas
& Texas, Weir Bros. the Weir City
Coal Co., the ]. II. Durkee Coal Co. and
the Daisy all came out The only
Weir City shafts running will be mine

Al sorts OF Propositions in Regard to the
Chinese Expulsion Question.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The admins
Tation has about come to the concla-
sion that it is useless to attempt to en-
force the Geary Chinese exclusion act
All sorts of propositions for evading
the law have been advanced, but each
has met with objections which threaten
political disaster to the Pacific states
The Chinese Six Companies have, ac-
cording to dispatches from San Fran
cisco. at last furnished the solution. If
the Chinese carry out their threat to
proceed with the contest to ito the last
ditch it will delay the government in
enforcing the provisions ofsthe bill I'M
til congress meets again, when either a
repeal, a modification or an appropria-
ton is hoped for.
Mr.. Camenitti, of California, has sug-
gested the arrest of all who have failed
to register. but the department of JUS
tice has called attention to the fact that
the appropriation for the support of
prisoners sentenced by the United
States courts is not sufficient to defray
the cost of boarding prisoners convict
ed in the usual way, and that
it is out of the question to add
10000, or even 10000, to the list
of convicted men even for a short time
until congress can make proper provi-
sion for paying the expenses of depor-
tation. There is a growing belief, too,
that congress viii never vote the nee
essary appropriation. There is no dis
position whatever evinced by any of
the members now in the city, even
among those who supported the meas
IRE, to authorize any such expenditure
TO carry out the law as the treasury of
ficials estimate Will be required.
Then, too. the deportation of the Chi
nese now here is not what the people
of the slope desire. They want to keep
others out, and it is believed that this
can be accomplished by amending the
existing law, so as to permit the unreg
istered Chinese to register and thus
avoid the necessity for sending great
numbers of them hack across the Pa
cific.

morning bya bull on the farm of Henry

was crossing pasture where the bull
was feeding, but did notice the animal.
The bull made for him as soon as he
entered the lot and Tony was unable
to escape. The bull tossed him in the
air several times and gored him in the
breast and bowels. Some farm hands
came to the rescue and attracted the
bulls attention, but it was too late to
save Tony's life

SURPRISED THE LADIES.
Helena Goessman's Paper on the Holmes
of Motherhood and Home.

Helena Goessman's Paper on the Holiness
of Motherhood and Home.
CHICAGO, May 20.-Mrs. Helena Goess-
man, of Massachusetts,, was on the pro-
gramme to read 4 paper at the woman's
congress. She was not present, how
ever, and Mrs. Davis was called upon
to read it for her. If Mrs. Davis had
glanced over the paper in her hands
she probably would not have blessed
her fortune for bringing about
this special duty. Mrs. Goessman's pa
per was a surprise to the reader and to
the audience. Instead of extolling
woman's qualifications for all the arts,
sciences and professions, instead of de-
handing rights and privileges, and re-
ferring to her sex as enslaved and
down-trodden, it took turn different
from any yet taken in the congress and
exalted woman's position In the home,
presiding with gentle grace over the
family altar and carefully rearing her
children to do their duty in life as the
one particular sphere for which her
Creator designed her. The paper
quoted several famous authors to show
that woman's true mission is to create
a home and that her greatest gift was
maternity and her truest profession
that of preceptress in the great school
room of motherhood.
''On canvas and on MARBLE" said the
author, imam has painted and chiseled
the highest conceptions of human art.
Woman's diviner art lies deeper than
the insensate similitude. The new
generations which God is perpetually
sending into the world are quarries,
each individual of whom is more
precious than all the marbles
and paintings. Her study is the
school room, the lecture room
and wherever she can find an instant or
hour to shape human souls into the
likeness of God. She who refuses this
dignity is just so much less the woman
the more she struggles against so holy
a destiny" The writer thought the
multitudinous burdens which modern
agitatOrs seek to impose upon women
are heavy burden to carry in connec-
ton with her wifahood and mother
hood, and she urged upon the listeners
that well-ordered home dignifies and
ennobles the state.
AS Mrs Davis read these heresies her
eyes snapped and her voice assumed
defiant ring. When she finished the
paper she said: II wish the author had
been here to read it herself and tina
the powers that be had granted Mrs.
Davis the power to discuss it."

SALE RATIFIED.
Conclusion of the sale of the Cherokee
Strip-The Papers Signed.

Strip-The Papers Signed.
WASHINGTON, May 1s.-A distinct
step forward toward the opening of the
Cherokee strip to settlement was taken
yesterday afternoon, when Secretary
Holze Smith, on the part of the United
States, and Chief Harris and the other
delegates, on the part OF the Cherokee
nation, affixed their signatures to the
contract which ratifies the cession of
the strip to the United States. The
exact number of acres coded is G, 022, 754.
Secretary Smith said that he hoped,
by expediting in every possible way
the preparation for the opening of the
strip, to have everything in readiness
for the presidents proclamation on
September Is, but there are few who
have given the situation careful study
who think the strip can be opened that
soon and indeed there are not wanting
those who fully believe that the tactics
of delay being used SO successfully by
the schemers who are looking for
chance to line their pockets in the deal
will prevent the opening until next
spring.
1t was 4 o'clock when Chief Harris,
Treasurer Starr, Maj Lipe and j. T.
Cunningham met by appointment at
the office of Secretary Smith, and with
little delay the contract was signed.
All the Legislative proceedings with
relation to the opening of the strip are
set out at length. 1t is agreed that the
1895 payment of s1,66O,OOO, shall be
withheld to wait the adjudication of
the claims of Delaware and Shawnee
Indians and freedmen The Cherokee
nation is to issue bonds for the remain
ing four annual payments in the same
sum and the United States to guarantee
the payment of principal and interest
