CHINESE CRIMINALS.

Thoir Position Under tho Geary Law
4 Defined.
After the meeting of the Prison Di-
rectors at San Quentin and the recon-
mendation that "lifer" Quong All Wong
be released on account Of his failing
health, an interesting point was raised
says the San Francisco Chronicle. II
the pardon is granted, as it probably
will be, the fact win at once be brought
up that this miserable, broken-down
chinese lie notregistered. Direetor Sonn-
tag mentioned the fact and both he and
J. H. Neff stated their inability to guess
what would be done with the unfortunate
under the Geary act. This also suggest
ed the fact that at San Quentin and
Folsom there are ii all 175 Chinese, not
one of whom has been Registered. iAe
these men serve out their terms they
will be releaaed and the question is can
they be deported2
Thomas d. Riodnn, the attorney, is,
by reason of his practice among the
Chinese, particularly we'll informed on
the Geary act. He was seen yesterday
and. when the proposition was laid be-
fore him said
1.-THE Chinese Consulate, the Mer-
chants' Club and the Six Companies
would be only too glad if the law required
immediate deportation Of Chinese felons
after they had served their terms. I'M
fortunately there is,a clause in the law
which excuses theirnos being registered.
After recitin9 the. fact that all Chinese
must be provided with certificates with
in q year after the passage OF the act tMay
8, 1892, the section proceeds to state that
a Chinese must be deported by order OF
Judge, unlels he shall establish clearly
to the satisfaction of said Judge that by
reason of accident, eicknees or other un-
avo;dsble cause he has been unable to
procure his certificate, etc., and that he
was resident OF the United States at
the time of the passage of this act. That
clearly covers the case OF Chinese feIons,
as they may have been residents OF the
United States at the 9time the act was
passed, but being in prison unable to
register"

HE OVERLOOKED THE COINS.

An Error of Judgment Shown by q
Burglar Yesterday.
When the thief who robbed James +.
Byram & Co. OF 5000 worth of stamps in
their collection yesterday morning reads
the HERALD he will grit his teeth with
rage and blush with shame for having
been guilty Of such bungling job. For
right in the same small showcase from
which his booty was taken were two
trays of valuable coins, aggregating
more than did the stolen stamps.
Mr.. Byram occupies room No. 10 in
the Workman building, South Spring
street, as an Office. Yesterday morning
about 1880 O'Clock when he came to
open his place of business he was sur
prised to find the door already unlocked.
Mr.. Byram went to the show case
where his collections were kept and dis
covered that nearly all hia stamps
were gone. The coin trays had not been
touched, and number OF shells con-
tanning stamps also remained. Nothing
else in the room had been molested, a
large collection OF stamps displayed in
the window escaping the burglars atten-
tion.
1t is presumed that the thief opened
the case and just grabbed, trusting to
luck to catch anything, or he would cer-
tainly have taken the trays OF coin, as
they were within an inch or two OF the
stamps. Among the stolen specimens
was a valuable collections of Hawaiian
stamps. Several others were valued at
$3 and $4 apiece.
The affair was reported to the police.

Kumors That Such an Improvement Is
on the Tapis.
Rumor hasit that company OF east
ern capitalists are talking strongly OF an
elevated railroad through Also street to
Brooklyn Heights, and it is quite prob
able that they may apply soon to the
city council for franchise. The gentle
men who are looking over the grounds
with view to building this road expect
eventually to extend 1t westwardly un-
til they ultimately reach the seaehore,
and eastwardly to Occidental college and
Odd Fellows cemetery. The road will
be an elevated one, between Brooklyn
Heights and the western bills and then
surface track the rest Of the way. This
project, if carried out, would make the
heights ON both sides OF the city
boom, and the beautiful lots in the
Mount Pleasant aad Boyle Heights and
Brooklyn Heights tracts that have been
almost unstable heretofore would be
brought into good demand.
Whether this is part of or in any
manner connected with the project of
fine hotel on the heights is not known
at present. We hope to be able to find
out more about this important enter
prise soon so that we may give such
facts as the public ought to know.

A Rosente Picture OF Future Financial
Operations.
For several months past IL has been
rumored that large amount OF eastern
capital would be invested in various en-
tsrprises in this section.
1t has developed within the last few
days that the half had not been told
and the amount of money it seems al
most too large to be true.
There is about to he organized, under
the laws OF the state, an investment
company composed entirely Of eastern
people and to have capital of from
ss 600, 900 to s1o.O0O0o0. There are five
gentlemen who are the principal organ.
izers aud back OF them are about 80 OF
the most prominent capitalists OF the
east. The stock has nll been cub
scribed and 80 per cent will be paid in
Immediately. The articles of incorpora-
tion are in the hands OF some prominent
local attorneys and will be completed in
about two weeks.
One OF the organizers is in the city
and was asked about the intentions of
his company. ut is formed" he said
.'for the purpose of developing water for
irrigation purposes, motive power and
other uses, to construct reservoirs, ca
mails. bitches and other means Of carry
ing water to the point OF distribution !;
TO build hotels and other buildings, to
buy, sell and improve lands and to set
ae medium through which capital can
be invested in California and more par
ticularly Southern California. It's spe-
cific object at first is to build very
large hotel which has been estimated to
cost 81 900 600. Boyle Heights has been
thoroughly investigated as a location for
that purpose. The western hills in the
vicinity of Westlake park, and particu-
larly the Belmont grounds have also
been looked over. ts
These large improvement and invest
ments will depend largely upon the
public spirit OF Los Angeles, for eastern
capital ii now largely in the hands of
men who make very few gratuitous gifts
and it is well known that large hotels as

A. B. Miner, formerly president of'the

cisco Gall. Mr.. Miner has been identi-
fed with horticultural interests in this

10 years, and Is still the owner of a
fruit ranch in the southern part of the

"Considering the general market there
ia very good demand at fair prices for
California fruits in Chicago" said Mr..
Miner last night. "Some OF last sea-
SONS crop ia still on hand, but is grad
ually being worked of. I have no doubt
that the whole OF this seasons product
will be disposed OF, provided the grow.
ers will accept q reasonable price for their
fruit.
"Can they sell at profit? Well, you
know no one is making any money this
year, and If man in any business can
hold his own, clearing expenses, he may
consider himself fortunate. The fruit
producers Of California must recognize
the situation and regulate their prices
accordingly. If they will sell according
to the times there is no question that
the entire output Of California will be
cold. Every industry must expect to
have an of year occasionally, and hor-
ticulture is no exception to the general
rule. The reasonable way to face the
situation is to take the best price offered
and prepare for better times next

A Terminal Railway Engine Strikes

( A serious accident occurred yesterday
on the Terminal railway track, in which
Sidney Rosenburg met with serious in

Rosenburg, who is an old man 30 years
Of age. was driving a sprinkling cart in
the Vicinity OF the Kurtz street crossing.
sAktrain was approaching the crossing,
the engineer OF which rang his bell
loudly as warning to Rosenburg.
The old man failed either to hear the
gong or see the train, and the engine
struck the rear part OF the cart, throw
ing Rosenburg out.
He was taken to the receiving hospi-
tai and attended to. by Police Surgeon
Bryant, who found that, the old man had
sustained severe shock, bat was other
wise unhurt.
Some anxiety is felt concerning his
condition, as up to late hour last night
he had not rallied from the shock.
Later--S.s Rosenberg, the victim of
the accident, died late last night from
the effects of his injuries.
The remains were removed to Chase's

THE GREAT EASTERN SECTION.
The Sea End of the Sewer to
Be Put in Place.
An Interesting Engineering Act to
Be Performed Today.
The Big Section OF Pips to Be Placed
In Position This Morning.
The sower Nearing
Completion.

This morning of O'Clock the great
cast iron section of the outfall sewer
will be pulled 800 feet into the Pacific
ocean. twill mark the near approach
of the completion OF one Of the greatest
sewer systems in the world.
The section OF pipe is 1900 feet long,
and is bolted and Hanged together. The
iron section extends, or will extend.
from the mouth Of the last tuune! into
the ocean. 1t will rest on the bottom.
Soundings have been taken to dis
tance OF 750 feet into the ocean where
the great pipe will extend. At this dis
tance the depth is, 20 feet. while at 800
feet, the termination of the sewer, the
depth is 18 feet.
A rather novel procedure will be en-
ployed to get the pipe into the water.
The section of the sewer is placed upon
rollers, but despite this fact and the
fact that the slope is go feet or more,
the weight of it is 30 great that it will
require great force to extend it out to
the desired distance.
A tug from Rsdondo is at the ecene
ready to pull the pipc out into old ocean.
Great wire ropes will be attached 20 the
long iron pipe. Then the tug will be-
gin it's work, and it is xpected the
pipe will be run into the wate- without
any trouble. As the slope of the ocean
bed from tide water mark to the end
OF the pipe is but 900 feet and the fall
1B feet it is not likely that there will
be any complications arise to hinder the
placing OF the pipe. 1t is heavy. grad
ual slope. 1t has, Of course, been de-
cided that the force OF the sewage which
viii have fall OF go feet, will force itself
through against the 800 feet of water
that will naturally come up in the pipe.
The Launching" of the big iron pipe
will be witnessed by large number OF
engineers OF the city. City Engineer
Dockweiler and the engineers OF his
Office, consisting of Messrs. Keen, Bas-
sell, Winston and Simpson. will leave
early this morning to watch the big
event.
The engineer in charge of this section
OF the sewer, Mr.. August Mayer, is a
very able one, and from all information
it is expected the launching" will be q
euccess.
Section eight OF the system has been
completed and will coon be accepted by
tie city.
Now that the council has notified all
contractors on the sewer that no extern
sion of time will be given them, it is
thought the sewer will be completed
and in operation By December 1st. il
not sooner.
