WAsHiSeroS CRY. July o0.-Sixty Chi
nese are metaphorically starving to death
on board steamer at Portland. Or, with
plenty to eat at their disposal. This para.
doxIcai state of affairs was brought about
in this way: The steamer Haytian Re-
public recently arrived at Portland Nith
large number Of Chinese on board. Sixty
of these could not produce evidence that
they were entitled to reside IN the United
States and were forbidden to land. Al
the same time the Haytian Republic was
libeled for smuggling opium and Chinese.
with the result that the owners abandoned
the vessel. leaving the sixty unfortunate
Chinese ON board. Relieving that the
owners had done this TO make the govern
ment care for the Chinese, TINS saving
themselves the expense Of supporting and
deporting the latter. the treasury officials
refused to interfere in the matter and the
Mongolians werc left on board uncared
for. foodiess and forbidden to land.
A protest from the Chinese minister
against allowing his fellow countrymen TO
starve. caused the administration to take
action. and after consultation bstween
officials of the state and treasury depart
ments and the department Of justice. il has
been officially decided that this govern
ment has no right to interfere, and that
either the owners Of the Hay,ian Republic
must take care Of the contrahand passen-
gers-and this they will not door the
Chinese must starve to death in the midst
of plenty pending the disposition of the
libel suit in the courts. This is the officia,
decision. but IL has also been determined
that the Chinese shali be fed three unof.
fieiai meals . day. While the United
States government is feeding the Chinese
il shuts its eyes to the fact. and in order IN
be thoroughly consistent. the government
maintains that sixty men must 90 withuut
food nntl the court settles the M after Of
the libel.

DONAHUEs LOSE THE LAND.
4 Wes40 meter Case lnv0lving the Va
lidity of Tax Title Ended.


WESTMINSTER, b. c.. July 2).-ISpecial.1
The famous land case OF Donahue W.
How,son was settled today by decision
OF Judge McCreight. Of the supreme court,
in favor OF defendant. The case was en-
tered in courts two years ago and has
dragged along ever since. running up .
bill Of costs which is making big hole In
the value OF the property. Thirty years
ago Peter Donahue. Of San Francisco,
bought lot II. group 2. of South Westmin-
ster. containing about forty-five acres
He never paid the taxes on it, and the
property was sold for taxes In 1879, the
purchaser being John w. Howison. The
land at this time was assessed only ct $50,
and there appeared but little prospect
then Of il ever becoming much more val
uable. Peter Donahue was . shrewd and
clever speculator, and until the years 1883
and 1854, when the Canadian Pacific was
being pushed ahead, he appeared more
than indiferens as to what became of this
piece of land. and probably did not con-
slider it worth while paying taxes on it.
Donahue died in 1856 aud this case seek
ing to set aside the sale Of land for taxes
was entered in 1891 by representatives OF
Peter and James Donahue, deceased.
The land 10 now worth ABOUT $l00, COO
The Donues are to pay all costs.
