A LACK OF MEANS.
Latest Bar to Chinese
Deportation.
For Went of Funds 1t May Be I'M
possible to Carry Out Judge
Ross Decision.

Il don't see what action can be taken.'
1t was Attorney Thomas Riordan, the
legal champion of the Chinese Six Com
panies. who made that negative statement.
Judge Ross" he went on to explain,
says, in concluding his decision, that the
authorities have no right to imprison Chi
nese Ike criminals, and furthermore he
says that Il he had been officially notified
that The Government had no funds to de-
port Chlnese he would not have made his
oroer. but having no official knowledge To
that erect he was compelled to decide as
he did.
Just what will be the outcome l have
not been able so far to learn. 1t seems TO
me that nothing can be done under the
circumstances. If the Government has
not the funds, certainly the Chinese car
not be deported; and, under the ruling of
Judge Ross, they cannot be imprisoned.
II have been trying to conceive of some
means of aiding in the matter, but so far
have determined on nothing, for the reason
that do not know what the Government
eentemplates doing"
And the Federal authorities seem to be
as much at loss, since Judge Ross de-
clSion az Los Angeles. Marshal Long saws

SUSPENDED THEIR LICENSES.
Three Captains Laid Off by the Local
Inspectors.


Two decisions were rendered by Local
Inspectors of Steam Vessels E. S. Talbot
and W. A. Phillips yesterday. One had
reference TO the steamer Newsboy strik-
ing the rocks near Point Conception early
on the morning of August last, and as
result of the Investigation OF that mishap
the license of Captain c. j. Fosen as mas
ter and pilot is suspended for twenty days.
The damage 10 tie Newsbny amounted
to about $500. She was on her way from
Los Angeles TO this port at the time and
The weather was very foggy. The captain
heard the fog whistle, but it was pparently
at such distance that he could not dis
tinguish clearly how IL bore. He did not
slaeken his speed. and his course he
changed from west by north to west.
In the opinion Of the inspectors Captain
FOsen should have immediately changed
his course off shore. slowed up and IaKeu
soundings. By this means the mishap
might have been ayerted.
The other decision was in respect to the
collision which happened at 9 A. NJ. August
9 between the steamers Aurora and Apache
at COllnsville, whereby the Aurora was
damaged about $780,
Both steamers were bound down the
Sacramento River. and the pache passed
the Aurora while the latter was lying at
TOlando's Landing, and immedi ately after
ward the Aurora left the wharf and soon
overlook the Apache, coming up on the
starbOard side OF her without giving any
signal, so the Inspectors find, as required
By rule of the pilot rules and regulations.
II was further ascertained that the two
steamers ran nearly side by side TO Col
linsvlle. the Apache's bow being little
ahead of that OF the Aurora. The Apache
was to make her usual landing at Collins
Vile and sounded her whistle, but in the
positions the two steamers main tanned it
was impossible for her to do so unless
either one of the steamers stopped.
The evidence shows that about the time
the Apache gave her landing signal she
crowded upon the course of the Aurora In
violation aso of rule s.
Captain Jasper Stanl was pilot of the
Aurora aud Captain Charles Thompson of
the Apache. Both their licenses are sus-
pended for five days

blue eyes. ana she wore a white straw
sailor hat, trimmed with white ribbons, a
white veil AMI a lght-ce lored three quarter
jacket.
Mrs. Lefevre did not again speak to her
roOmer, aud she has a faint idea that she
saw her on Monday afternoon, but is not
sure. On Tuesday night between and &
o'clock she was surprised to see the key in
the dcor of the room rented by the young
lady. She opened the door and was
amazed to see baby boy asleep on The
bed.
On the top of the bureau was letter ad-
dressed to "Landlady, 1880 Mission street" I"
On opening il she read the following.
which was written on half sheet of note
paper:

the purser of the City OF Puebla, which
arrived on Tuesday, between and p. NJ
The check was Tor room Z, berth 4, table
seat in the cabin.
Inquiry at the steamer elected the infor-
nation that the check belonged TO a Mrs.
Wilson and baby, who took passage from
Seattle. She was described as a young
woman about % or % years of age, demi-
blonde. but beyond that nothing could be
learned.
1t is supposed that the young woman
who rented the room did so by previous
arrangement with the passenger by the
steamer with the deliberate purpose of de-
serting the infant; that she met her on
the arrival of the boat, FASTENED with her
to the house on Mission street, placed the
sleeping infant on the bed and departed,
congratu atiDg themselves on the success
OF their plan.
Mrs. Lefevre reported the matter 70 the
police yesterday. She has become strongly
ttached to the deserted babe. but is un-
able to keep IL, and hopes that it may find
a kind and comfortable home. She stated
that the baby resembles very strongly the
young woman who engaged the room.
The police will endeavor to locate the
two young women.

A Remarkable LandsIln.

One OF the most extraordinary and start
ling natural disturbances which have
taken place in the neighborhood of Auck-
land for some time past occurred al Birk-
ennead on Saturday, August 3. when a
landslip of gigantic proportions altered
the whole contour OF the hilly country in
the neigh borbood OF the wharf. The land
movement occurred shortly before o'clock
in the morning. The steamer had lust
left for Auckland and the cart which
usually goes down to the wharf to meet it
had returned, so fortunately there was no
ono in the immediate vicinity of the scene
of the disturbance at the time. The only
person who appears to have witnessed the
striking spectacle was Mr.. Smith, who
lives not far from the place where IL oc-
CURED. The first thing that attracted his
attention was the gradual parting from the
main land of the steep hill which over
hung the road leading from the wharf 1t
seemed TO collapse and then slide forward
and as 1t slipped the whole area between it
and the shore began to slide with some
what undulating motion toward the shore.
The main metaled road was dealt with
in most peculiar manner. 1t was first
lifted upward 10 height of about twelve
feet. and then carried smoothly along for q
distance of about 300 feet, being placed
almost exactly over the lower part Of the
road. Indeed, but for the sudden rise OF
about five feet where the movement
stopped and for the assures in the upper
layer of road, stranger might at first
sight regard the upper part as the ordi-
nary continuation of the lower road. The
whole mighty avalanche, in which many
thousands Of tons of earth were displaced,
moved down without noise and without
any chaotic disturbance. In most In
stances the vegetation stood as before,
only removed some 300 feet nearer to the
sea, and a notice board at one time placed
near the top of the hill still remained erect
and apparently undisturbed in its new
position. as though 1t had been originally
erected there. The breakwater was car
ried bodily fully thirty feet seaward, and
a small boat which was lying close by was
raised by what appears 10 have been an
undercurrent Of earth. and placed high
and drv.
