The Chinese on the Pacific coast do
not seem inclined to comply with the
provisions OF the Geary Act, and as the
Chinese furnish the bulk of the labor
in many important branches Of In
dustry in that section there is consider
able anxiety over the prospect Of a
wholesale deportation Of the Mongo-
lians. A correspondent OF the San
Francisco Examiner is of the opinion
that the driving out Of the Chinese
would prove a serious detrlment to the
interests Of California in general and
it's principal city in particular He
saws that to San Francisco it would
prove an immense loss in rentals; in
the rural districts it would produce a
scarcity Of labor for vineyards and
fruit-growers that could not readily be
replaced. At the same time, it would
put a stop to the expectation OF Cali
fornia flour to the amount of not less
than 81, 600, 600, and no doubt effect a
decided change in the price of wheat,
TO the consequent injury Of the Touring
interest Of the entire coast.
This is the practical, business side of
the question from Pacific coast stand
point.
The collector Of customs at San Fran
cisco urges that Chinese comply with
the registration requirements Of the
law and not take chances Of being de-
ported: but the collector appears to
have his eye on a handsome crop Of
registration fees rather than the in
terests Of the public in the matter.
Meanwhile, il will be interesting to
note how the law will work. Its con-
stitutionallty is vigorously questioned
and as the great majority of the Chi
nese appear to remain In utter Oblivion
of its existence the Supreme Court will
doubtless soon be called upon to decide
the question.
An adverse decision, of course, will
annul the Geary Act and leave the Chi
nese question in St0tlt quo, aud the next
Congress, if that body still be in the
c hinese-must-go mood, will be called
upon TO frame law that will stand in
the courts and be more in accordance
with common sense aud good policy.

AN UGLY STORY.
Two Banking Institutions Furnish
a Big Scandal.


LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 25.--Louis-
vile is to have another bank scandal,
and if rumor speaks truly it will be the
ugliest and most sensational one that
has ever shocked this city, which of
late years has had more than its share
Of such scandals.
Two suits, it is said are in course OF
preparation, which involve the Louis
vile Deposit bank, which lately as
signed, and the German National bank,
an institution which has been in bust.
ness for more than two decades.
The style of the first suit will be
'"The individual creditors of Moses
Schwartz, late PR sident of the Deposit
banks, VS.. the German national bank
and Moses Schv artz."
The second suit will be in the name
Of and for the benefit of the stock.
holders of the Louisville Deposit bank
vs. the German national bank, Adolph
Reutlinger, president and Albert Reut-
linger, cashier.
1t will be filed in the United States
court, and will be brought on the
grounds that the defendants named
and Moses Schwartz entered into a
criminal conspiracy to wreck and did
wreck the Louisville Deposit bank for
the benefit of the German National
bank. The Deposit bank was organ
lied in April, 1891, and it is charged
that the Reutlingers personally inter-
ested themselves in the organization
and induced friends to subscribe for
stock, giving it out that the German
National bank would give business,
and Albert Reutlinger, who himself
took $40, 900 worth of stock, would be
made cashier of the Deposit bank.
They had carried Schwartz, who was
in the whisky business for years, it is
charged, and knew that he was totally
insolvent, that in order to save itself
from bankruptcy entered into a con-
spiracy with him to loot the Deposit
bank utter inveigling men to take
its stock. The means by which
the Deposit bank was wrecked, it
is charged, were rs follows: The Ger
man national bank loaned the Deposit
bank considerable amount of ready
cash, which was later paid back, but
shaved or it at the same time $s5, 900
worth of Schwartz paper which it is
said was worthless. In other words the
German national bank received good
collateral in exchange for the bad pa
per- This is the gist of the suit to be
posted.
Mr.. Albert Reutlinger denies all the
allegations, and states that all his
transactions with the Deposit bank
were perfectly honorable.
He had consented, he said, to become
the Deposit banks cashier, but was in
induced to remain with the German
national by an increase Of salary, after
which he sold his stock. One of the
attorneys for the plaintiffs is A. Kohn,
who himself had been big stockhold-
er in the Deposit bank.

Star correspondent has made the most
diligent inquiry of members of the
house and senate committees having
jurisdiction on the subject of tariff and

may go to the house the latter part OF
| the week ending October 2S. Its con
tents will not be known until the meas.
ure is reported to the house. 1t is the
general belief that the house will want
at least six weeks in which to discuss
and amend the measure. 1t would thus
appear that the bill may be adopted by
the house and sent to the
senate, where it will go to the
finance committee about the time when
congress will want to take its holiday
recess somewhere near December 90
1t is calculated that the senate com,
mittee on finance will occupy as much
time in remodeling the measure as was
consumed by the house committee on
ways and means in preparing the origi.
nal draft. AS it will hardly begin its
work before January or s, the bill is
not expected to reappear in the senate
before the first of March. The senate
will require six weeks of consid

This takes the measure to the
middle of April. 1t is calculated
that at least two and probably three
weeks will then be consumed by the
two houses upon amendments and ad-
justing the differences. This would in.
oicate the final adoption of the measure
some time in May. The date when the
law will take effect is yet, of course,
speculative. There are those who be.
lieve it will go into effect July next.
others that it will become operative in
October of next year, and many who
contend it will not be effective until
January 1, 1895.

THE ALEXANDRA rn1roN,
or the Haytian Navy. Foundcrs-Only One
Sailor Left to Tell the Tale.

c"HVS 's-tt w hehA tFC iutcs
NEW YoaR, Sept 2s.--The Alexandra
Peitcn, one of the new gunboats of the
Haytian navy, foundcred on September
6, near Cape Tiburon, and only one of
her crew of ninety men survived to tell
the story. The news of the loss of the
war vessel was brought here Friday by
passengers on the Dutch steamer Prinz
Willem l., which arrived from Port au
Prince. The Alexandra Peiton was the
last of the gunboats constructed for the
Haytian navy. She was built in lIavre
for the government of Hayti only
few months ago, and left Port
au Prince September 4, bound for
the city of San Domingo. She
had on board as passengers Gen. Mol
iner special Dominican plenipotentiary
to Hayti; Nj. ID. Jean, consul to San
Domingo, and Mr.. Cohen, formerly
Haytian Minister to Mexico. The party
were going to San Domingo to arrange
the final terms of an agreement be-
tween Hayti and San Domingo. The
Alexandra Peiton carried ninety sailors,
marines and officers, besides the diplo-
matte party. She foundercd on Sep
tember G at o'clock in the morning,
near cape Tiburon. Why it was that
she sank nobody knows.
Her sole survivor, u colored sailor,
was picked up few miles from Porto
Piminto on September s. He was upon
a heavy plank and was padding with
a pair of oars. He was an ignorant
man, and could not give an intelligent
account of how the accident took
place. The negro said that it was
in the early morning. The gun
boat began to go down bow first.
Nearly all those on board sank
with the vessel A few jumped and
kept up until they were too exhausted
to struggle longer. The survivor found
the plank and two oars near the vessel.
He foated about for day and half,
when he was picked up by a small sail
ing vessel. The news of the loss of
the steamer cast gloom over the town
of Port au Prince. Many of the gun
boats officers and crew had families in
the town. The citizens of Port au
Prince are in hope that others of the
crew may have escaped. There are no
reefs and shoals in the neighborhood
where the vessel foundered, according
to official charts. The point is out of
the usual path of navigation.
The diplomatic party were cordially
treated while in Port-au-Prince, and
many people went to bid them farewell
on the day that the Alexandra Peiton
steamed out of the harbor. The Alex
andre Peiton was one of the best equip.
