BORN AND BRED IN KANSAS.

From the K. c. Gazette.
The Santa Fe is said to be the larges.
system in the world. operating the
greatest number of miles of road. 1t is
distinctively Kansas institution, its
origin and line of road having been con-
ceived in Kansas by Kansas men. The
company operate 8, 345 miles-composed
of the greatest number of minor cor
porations. There are eighty-six of these
auxiliary companies now in existence,
besides ninety-eight dead, inactive or
absorbed" companies that have at some
time been connected with the system.
The mileage of the Santa Fe is sub
stantiailv equal to half that OF Great
Britain and Ireland, half that of France.
two-fifths that of Germany, half that of
Russia, twice that of Mexico, and one
sixteenth of the whole of the United
States. The mileage is distributed as
follows:
Illinois, 295 miles; Missouri, 1900; Ar
kansas, 102; Texas, 1, fSS: Nebraska, 9;
Colorado, 20: Arizona, 44o; California,

rolls over $1,000 employees. Kansas is
the home of the Santa Fe and its tribu-
tary traffic lines constitute a world In IT
self. But what we desire to do at this
time is to do justice TO a particular
portion of its line. 4 few days ago in

Cleveland withdrew Harrison's Haw-
allan treaty from the senate with the
intention, no doubt, of doing the thing
himself, in his own way; or, otherwise
of knocking the whole scheme into a

uncalled-for interference, so delays the
settlement of that matter as to lose the
islands to America or to cause any mud
die which shall result in their being
transferred to English control, he will
not be entitled to the thanks of the
American people.

The Cleveland Plaindealer says that
"Kansas' sorrows vacillate between
grasshoppers in summer and politicians
in winter" The statement is true, yet it
is misleading as given. The state never
suffered from grasshoppers but one
season, and then only as the visitation
came upon it from another state. So
likewise, we believe it will be with the
latter scourge. Being importations from
other states and sections they will run
out before becoming acclimated and
gaining a permanent foothold.

NoRwAlK, Conn.,, May S.-A few day
ago man with clerical cast of features
alled at the residence Of Goodrich Hubbell

represented himself ~ preacher and said
that he was on his way to Lewisboro. q

from the Connecticut line, He said hs
was tired and asked Mr.. Hubhell If he
could remain at his house over night. The
request was granted and for an hour they
talked on religious matters.
Just as they we're about 10 retire q knock
came At the door. and. upon opening it.
Farmer Hubbell discovered two stranger, 4
man and woman, who requested that they
be directed to clergyman. A. they wished
to be married. MIR. Huhbell remarked thai
they were in luck, as he had clergy mar
stopping With him for the night who would
undoubtedly perform the ceremony.
They entered the house and the alleged
clergyman consented to tie the nuptisl knot
and thereupon repeated the usual formula
Mr.. and Mrs Hubbell had consented 10 scI
as witnesses, and after the ceremony at.
fixed their signatures to what purported to
be marriage certificate. The couple then
withdrew. after overwhelming the party
with their thanks. In the morning the frs.
stranger also departed.
A day or two ago Mr.. Hubbell went to
the bank where he transacts his business
affairs, and was informed that note of his
for S215 had been discounted there. Mr..
Hubbell WAS much surprised, but an exam
ination of the note brought fcrcibly to his
mind the fact of signing the alleged mar
riage certificate, and at present he is devils

STANFORD c0MMeNDS CHINESE
The California Senator Is No Longer Opposed
10 Their immigration.

SAN FRANcIsco, May S.-Some surprise
has been caused by Senator Stanford's de-
nunciation of Chinese exclusion or restric
ton and of the Geary law. In an inter
view printed here he said
at is serious thing to throw any i'm
pediment IN the way of our Chinese trade.
There should never have been restriction
law passed in the first place, and the Geary
law, which has followed, is an outrage. I
did not oppose it. for it appeared that some
of the people wanted it. l will admit that
one time had fears of the Chinese over
running this country, but for some years
have had none.
''We need the Chinese here, to work in
our fields, vineyards, and orchards and
gather our fruit and do the common labor
of the country. do not know what
we would do without them, and undertake
to say that they are the most quiet, indus
trious, and altogether commendable class
of foreigners who come here. There is no
class so quick to learn, and none so faith
full.
II am persuaded. too, notwithstanding ng
all that has been said about the majority of
the people being opposed to the Chinese,
that they are not opposed to them. 1t is
opposed to them, neither are the merchants,
because the Chinese do not take up the
trades. They do simply the commonest
kind of work, and in doing so they really
do not come into competition with white Ia
Dor.
Congress hes made no appropriation for
paying the passage of the people back to
China, and the transportation companies are
not going to do it for nothing. 1t is esti-
mated that of the 1870 900 Chinese in the
United States 10000 OF them are in Cali
fornia. 1t costs $50 each to send them
back from here.
They can talk about deporting them,
but as said, the steamships will not do it
for nothing. know one steamship line,

SHAW ARRAlGNED
At Portland, and Pleaded Nolo Con-
tendere to All Charges.


PORTLAND, MAY s.-Cashier William X.
Shaw of Bath, was in the United States
court room this morning, to answer to tina
indictments of embezzlement against him
and mis- application of the funds of the Lin
coin National Bank, and also for false en-
tries in the books.
Cashier Shaw was accompanied by his
two brothers, and by his counsel, Hon.
Geo. Z. Bird. He looked haggard and
careworn, and his situation was evidently
causing him acute suffering. Itwas not
known by the public that Mr.. Shaw was to
come up this morning, hence there were no
spectators, except a few newspaper men.
The larger part of the forenoon was
spent in consultation between District At
torney Dyer and Mr.. Bird, and the tw fre-
quently stepped to the front of the judges
bench TO consult him. 1t was desired to
gain short time for Mr.. Shaw before SEN
tence shall be imposed upon him, in order
that he may settle up his business affairs,
obtain guardian for his children, ETC., be-
fore shall be imprisoned for the offences
charged against him.
At first Mr. Bird was resolved to file de-
murrers to all the indictments, but he fin
ally concluded not to do this.
Ii was ! l O'Clock when Cashier Shaw was
told by Mr.. Bird to take his seat IN the
prisoners dock.
Clerk Davis then proceeded to read the
indictments against the prisoner but on be-
ing asked if he wished to waive the reading
of them he answered in the affirmative. Mr..
Bird explained that his client was aware of
the substance of each of the indictments.
Then, asked Clerk Davis ''what say
you to this charge, are you guilty or not
guilty."
II do not wish to contend" was Cashier
Shaws reply, in firm, clear voice.
Enter plea of 'nolo contendere, was
the direction of the court.
Four indictments were taken and to each
one of them the same plea was made, 81
do not wish to contend"
The fifth indictment was mol pressed by
the district attorney.
Judge Webb announced that he would
not impose sentence today. He would con-
tinue the case from day to day and the
prisoner would continue under the same
recognizances. The judge said that the
latest day to which he would continue the
case for sentence would be July | though
this was not an assurance that the prisoner
would not be called up for sentence prior
TO that time. 1t is the general understand
however, that Cashier Shaw will come
before Judge Webb July and on that day
will be sentenced to a term of years in

TRICKS Of THE CHINESE.

Certificates Abroad.

DESvER, Col, May s.-Internal Rqve-
Collector Freeman have discovered huge
fraud in the registration of the Chinese in
this district. 1t is thought by the United
authorities in this city that the fraud is en-
eieeered by the Chinese Six Companies in
San Francisco, and not confined to this dis
trict alone.
For several weeks past numbers Of
Cinnamon have succeeded in registering -

description so far discovered is in the place
of residence. As many of the names sounj
nearly alike nothing definite was discovered

view to smuggling the heather into the
country. Just now many have gotten a

thought by Inspector Freeman that about
200 have done so.
II is estimated that there are about 1900

Colorado And Wyoming. and at present
