How Dealers in Cinnamon are Footing
Uncle Sam.
PORTLAND, ORE, April 2.-If the in
Vestigation into the methods Of the Chi
nese at this port and on Puget sound,
commenced by Special Treasury Agent
Noyes, is carried far enough, it is SAID
some sensational revelations will be
made. Customs Inspector Todd, Of Van
Couver, B. c., who arrived last night, says
the steamer Hsytien Republic has been
carrying large number Of Chinese to
Portland from Vancouver on every trip,
and that but small proportion has
been sent back until the last trip, when
thirty-seven were deported. He says
these Chinese all have certificates which
are procured from Portland and Salem
and notsries and lawyers in the two cities
are in the business of furnishing them.
Cinnamon send their photographs which
are attached to bogus certificates. For
these certificates they pay $50, the Hay
tien Republic charges them $50 fare, and
they have to pay an agent $40 to see that
they get in all right.
The Tacoma Ledger this morning pub
lished letter purportlng to be instruc-
tiOns from the Gin Wo company, Of
Hong Kong, to prominent persons Of
Portland, instructing them how to SNUG
gle into the United States and take care
of sixtY-seven Chinese who came over on
the steamer Haytien Republic a week
ago. The letter also states that the
price to be paid the gmuggler is 800 q
head. And in three special cases $175
and $25 is also to be paid to Mrs. Virgil
Moore, of Portland, as soon as Cinnamon
arrived.
Five Chinese are now held at Astoria
awaiting deportation, it having been dis
covered that names of five well-known
business men Of that city have been
forged to the certificates.

He'll Be There,

WASHINGTON, April 2.-It is stated to-
night that while President Cleveland has
not yet notified the Worlds Fair COM
mission on public ceremonies that he will
be present at the opening Of the fair, he
expects to be able to accept the COM
mittee's invitation to be there, extended
on the afternoon Of March 6. He then
stated that be fully appreciated tie i'm
portsnce of the occasion, and that il the
condition of public business made it pos
sible for him to do 90, he would visit
Chicago on May l and participate in the
opening exercises. The president has
satisfied himself, it is said, that the pub
lie business will be in such q state Of
forwsrdness that he can leave Washing
ton for the few days il will require for
him to witness the naval parade at New
York and start the machinery Of the
Worlds Fair at Chicago
The arrangements for the trip have
not yet been perfected, but it is probable
that the president and cabinet will 60 to
New York by special train, and after the
naval parade go thence TO Chicago, ar
irving there Sunday morning, April 26.
The president will leave Chicago for
Washington Monday as soon as he can
conveniently get away from the fair
grounds. The members Of the supreme
court will also 60 to Chicago to attend
the opening Of the fair, but do not ex-
pect to witness the naval parade.

For the Purpose Of Killing,

BERLIN, April "A commission Of
artillery experts has been testing for
several days at the Jetterburg, q new
explosive which is intended to replace
ultimately gunpowder in the German
army. The explosive Is a brown, fatty
substance Of the consistency Of frozen
oil, when exposed in ordinary tempers-
tnre. 1t retains the consistency up to
1l2 degrees Fahrenheit. A shock or q
spark does not set it off. When used in
guns the explosion is obtained through
contact with another chemical compound.
The explosion is also unsccompanied by
smoke, and the detonation is inconsider-
able. The recoil is very slight even
when the heaviest charges have been
used. The explosive does not heat the
weapon sufficiently to cause difficulties
in the way Of rapid firing, andcartridges
once used are easily refilled
For the present rife model the new
compound is not available, but if future
tests be as satisfactory as the recent
ones it will be introduced generally in
the artillery branch of the service. Four
models Of new army rifles having many
advantages over the rifle now in use have
passed successfully the trials Of the
8 small arms inspectors. The inventor of
all four is DR.. Weiss, OF the Gera dyna-
mite factory.

Careful of the Declaration.

WASHINGTON, D. G., March 81 The
original drafts Of the Declaration Of In
dependence and the constitution of the
United States will not be sent to the
Worlds Fair. Secretary Gresham has
decided that the risk is too great, and
the precious old psrchments will not be-
exposed to the perils Of the journey and
the chances of mishsp while on exhi-
bition.
All preparations had been made to
send both documents to the exposition,
though there was some opposition to the
project at the time it was decided
upon. 1t was thought that they would
form the most interesting portion Of the
exhibit Of the state department and that
1t would be but justice to the millions
who would visit Chicago to give them a
look at the corner. stones Of the govern
ment. The secretary of state, however,
under whose charge the documents are,
has come to the conclusion that even so
great an occasion does not warrant i'm
periling the documents.
A railway journey even under the most
careful handling Of the instruments,
would necessarily involve q certain
amount Of wear and tear on the fragile
parchments and they will not be dis
turbed from their long rest in the de.
psrtment Of state. The most elaborate
precautions will be used in looking after
the treaties and other papers which will
be removed to Chicago about the middle
of April.

Union Men Adiudged Guilty of Conspiracy
Against Employers.


to-day, at which it was decided to stand
by the Ann Arbor strikers, no matter
what the decision of the court, expected
to be handed down tomorrow, may be.
When asked what action would be taken
in case the decision is adverse to the
men, the leaders say that Ann Arbor
freight will not be touched under any
conditions. The suggestion that this
could not be done with respect to the
law in case the courts decide all boycotts
illegal, brought out the following state
ment:
"The injunction has been brought to
prevent Chief Arthur from ordering the
engineers on roads connecting with the
Ann Arbor to refuse to handle the
freight and cars Of that road because
there is strike among its engineers and
firsmen. We have no doubt that the
present injunction granted by Judge
Ricks will be made perpetual. That
does not prevent the men quitting work,
does it? The fact is Chief Arthur has
not the power to order boycott or
strike, anyway. The members of the
brotherhood simply quit without orders
from any one, and it will be- task for
the courts to reach the power which
causes boycotts by means Of ipjunctions.
We shall simply resign from the service
Of our employers when We are asked to
do Ann Arbor business"
TOLEDO, O., April 3. - The United
States court room was crowded this
morning to hear the decisions OF Judges
Ricks and Taft in the two cases growing
out OF the Ann Arbor strike.
Judge Ricks' decision in the cases of
the engineers and firemen srrsigned for
contempt of court was iirst delivered,
amid breathless attention. 1t was not
as radical as the men feared, and does
not assume to compel men to work
against their wishes. Notice Of appeal
was at once given by Mr.. Hurd.
Judge TafL's decision granted the tenn
porsry injunction asked for against Chief
Arthur to prevent the lstter's boycott
order.
Judge Kicks said in his decision:
"This suit was instituted by the Toledo,
Ann Arbor & North Michigan railway
to compel the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern, the Pennsylvania Company
and other defendants to receive from it
and deliver to it freight and cars des-
tined from one state to another, COM
monty known as interstate freight. The
bill was drawn to enforce the third sec
tion of the interstate commerce act. The
subject matter Of this litigation is, there.
fore, the construction and enforcement
Of an act of congress, and the court &C
quires jurisdiction because Of the federal
question involved. That such question
Is involved, think, too plain for serious
controversy"
After Judge Ricks' decision was rem
dered in the case of the engineers and
fremen he proceeded to read the decis-
ion Of himself and Judge Taft in the
matter of the Ann Arbor Company, ask
ing temporary injunction against Chief
Arthur, restraining him from issuing
any order which shall require or COM
msnd any employe of any of the depend

Don't Want to be Misunderstood.

OF March q, you published commu-
niCation from me, headed Suggestions
Concerning the Future" and offered a
criticism dissenting from one proposition
OF the same. am glad you have thus
called my attention TO this matter, be-
heylng as / do that perhaps nothing is
more hazardous to the Peoples party
than fusion with democrats.
The following is the langusgeto which
you object: "It is true that in Kansas,
and possibly in some other states, there
has been more or less cooperation Of
Populists and democrats in antagonism
to republican misrule and republican
anarchy. This CO, operation we most
heartily sanction; and, so long as Popu-
lists remain firm and true to those noble
principles that have achieved such
marked success to our young party, there
can no harm come of this course. Nay,
more than this; Populists can afford, in
limited field, to divide Offices with these
cooperating democrats" The limited
field" to which / referred was such
Offices as involve neither legislative nor
judicial functions; such, for instance, az
county attorney. However, on more
mature reflection, ] doubt the propriety
Of even this concession to either old party
men.
But now word by way Of explanation
as to what meant by cooperation"
with democrats. / Isupposed that all would
readily understand that nothing in the
nature Of fusion or the surrender to dem
ocrats Of single feature Of our demands
was meant by "co operation" with them,
or rather their "co. operation" with us, in
"antagonism TO republican misrule and
republican anarchy" when l distinctly
stated this Corporation" must be guard.
ed by our remaining firm and true to
those noble principles that have achieved
such marked success to our young party"
With this guard sacredly observed, 100
operation" as it seems to me, can mean
nothing more than welcoming democrats
to join with as in carrying out these
Populist demands. The whole tone of
my article clearly shows my belief that
the democratic party, as a party, is as
fully corrupted as the republican party,
by it's complete surrender to the money
power. / admit, however, that my article
was susceptible Of misconception, and
hence liable to harmful tendency.
The time has come when we must steer
clear OF all entagling alliances with either
old party. am sure our cause in Kansas
has already suffered by electing men TO
legislative Offices who are not in reality
with US on the fundamental demands Of
our platform. When an apple is fully ripe,
and no longer requires the nourishment
Afforded it by the tree through the twig,
it voluntarily sewers it's connection and
falls to the ground. And when the baby
in its mothers arms has satisfied it's ap-
petite, il at once releases the breast. So
of every man who is no longer in SYM
pathy with old party measures; he will at
once openly and gladly come to US; and
until he has 80 come, we must refuse to
him every possibility Of betrsying our
principles. w. M. GooDNER.
