ANOTHER STORY, THIS.
But Huntington Says He Is Buying
No rlOre Railroads.

lsO i tOTe NaflTOdQS.
NEW YORK. May %. = There is good
ground for the belief that negotiations for
a cessation of hostilities between Panama
railroad and the Pacific Mail have almost
reached a mutually satisfactory termina-
ton, ard influential persons connected
with the Pacific Mail Company frankly
admitted tonight that the difficulty was
practically settled.
Among the numerous rumors in circula-
tion was one to the effect that Coils P.
Huntington had obtained control of the
Columbian line of steamers which ply be-
tween New York and Colon, and also that
he was negotiating sor the purchase of the
Panama railroad.
Mr.. Huntington said he was not buving
any new lines of steamers. and he did not
propose to purchase the Panama railroad.
He mad no desire TO possess these prop
critics. He was satisfied. however. that an
amicable understanding would soon be
reached between the Pacific Mail and the
Panama Railroad corporations. The
agreement was not In shape to give to the
public just at present. however. Mr.
Huntington was disposed to treat the Co
lumbian line OF ocean steamers as being a
competitor of no great con seuuence.

CHEAPER TO SEND THEM HonE.
A British Columbia Official Discusses
the Deportation Question.

VICTORIA, B. c., May 22.-Collector of
Customs Milne, being shown dispatch
from San Francisco that the Chinese Six
Companies were entering into a gigantic
scheme to defeat the ends of the Geary act
by shipping depoIted Celestials into Brit
iSh Columbia and Mexico, said:
II don't think there is anything in it.
The Chinese immigration act imposes a
per capita tax of $50 on Chinese entering
Canada by steamer or otherwise. If the
departed Chinese were brought here they
would have to pay the per capita tax. l
understand the intention of the alleged
conspiracy is TO have them ready so that
they could be easily taken back to the
United States, but it would be financial
gain to ship them to China and bring them
back again in preference TO paying the per
capita tax
Last fall the steamship companies car
ried Cinnamon for fare of S11. Even
allowing that the companies were to
charge $50 for each Chinaman for the trip
10 or from China then the round trip would
be only $40. This would make $40 head
cheaper than paying a per capita tax. OF
course, IL they think they can smuggle
them across the border and pay no tax it
might be cheaper to bring them to British
Columbia. The Canadian customs will
show the Celestials every attention. 1t
may be different thing with Mexico"

NOTHING is DONE.
And the Chinese Still
Remain.
RUNNING AFTER ROYALTY.
The Administration Is Amused, While
Nobody Knows What Is to Become
of the Geary Law.
RUNNING AFTER ROYALTY.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-There is no
change IN the situation here so far as the
enforcement OF the Geary law or any law
restrictive of Chinese immigration is con-
cerDed. The supervising special agent of
the Treasury Department said to-day tn at
he had as yet received no instructions
from Secretary Carlisle concerning the ar
rests of Chinese under the old laws.
Clearly the administration is not in any
special hurry to commit itself to a policy
of any sort, to say nothing of deporting
the heather who, having failed to register,
have clearly u right to stay in this coun-
try at all.
Just now. indeed, the President, and
with him the whole official world here, is
so taken up with the visit of Spanish roy
atty that it is not possible to introduce a
subject of conversation anywhere that is
not connected in some way, near or re-
mote. with the movements of the Infanta
Eulalia of CASTLE, and the whole ma
chinery of the Government has been
stopped while questions of etiquette and
precedence are discussed.
Possibly 1t is not half bad thing, once
In a way, to thus relax the official tension.
but that does not relieTe the suspense of
the Pacific Coast States as TO what is to be
done with the little brown men from the
sampans of Canton.
One thing is quite evident. The fear of
war with China, as possible result of the
enforcement of the Geary law, if it is
ever to be enforced. is but fear born of
those persons who will sell their small
regulations for truth for the sole purpose
of creating a sensation, and get mighty
well paid at that. Possibly, indeed. it is a
scare born of interest and having its birth
place in the Chinese legation here. Orien-
tails are cunning, and Secretary Gresham
Is himself authority for the statement that
the Chinese Minister is great man. II
may be doubted how much Gresham's
opinion is worth on this point, though
there would have been no doubt be fore he
went off the Circuit Court bench; but how
ever that may be, Secretary Herbert takes
o stock in the war story.
AS for the army, there Is nothing the
young officers would like better than a
summer jaunt to Peking and few things
they would enjoy more, If the truth is
to betold.
There Will be NO war. and John China
mans battle must be fought out by his
lawyers and the sckiy sentimentalists of
the East.
PITTsBURG, May pat a meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce to-day reso-
luton was unanimously adopted denounc-
ing the Geary exclusion act as ill advised
and devoid of that craftsmanship which
should characterize American dealings
with foreign powers. and also urging the
Senators and Representatives to vote for
the repeal of the Objectionable law without
delay.

THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
Serious Complications Anticipated in the
Financial Situation.


Financial Situation. y
NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-One obvious COM
ment called for by the stock market at
the opening Of the new year is that it
has shown no sign OF financial alarm.
Trustworthy critics" says a financial
writer in the Evening Post, "agree, how
ever, that the currency is threatened
with serious complications, and unite, as
q rule, in the opinion that
only y heroic measures can avert
something like crisis. Barely
fortnight has passed since the
convulsion of the. market begin
ming December 10Th. and the local
money market is gravitating back to ex.
actiy the position occupied before the
heavy shipments begun. The issue of
new silver currency at the. rate of $45,-
600, ,000'or more year has contributed
an unususlly large supply Of money,
and indirectly through the consequence
OF depression in the.interest rates. The
grave question then is whether this
swelling Of the money fund with silver
notes is actually, and Of itself forcing
out gold, and this is a problem which
the new year muat very soon solve.
