ENFORCING THE GEARY LAW.
Caminetti Confident That Congress Will
Appropriate Money Necessary.

Caminetti Confident That Congress Will
Appropriate Money Necessary.
WASHINGTON. May 7.-Congressman
Caminetti, of California, had short con-
ference with the president this morning,
and left the White house feeling assured
that it was the intention of the president
to see that the Chinese restriction act was
enforced. Caminetti denied that it would
take anything like the money mentioned
to enforce the act, for the reason that
those Chinese entitled to remain would
secure certificates at their own expense,
and those against whom the law was
really aimed would be frightened out of
the country the moment an honest at
tempt was made to enforce it. Caminetti
is of the opinion that all additional
money that will be needed will be voted
at the next session OF Congress and he
fears no repeal of the law.
Reports from forty of the sixty three
revenue districts show that 8, Az Chinese
have registered. No reports are yet re-
ceived from the Pacific coast district.

Being Considered by the President.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Cleveland's

WINGED him that the present method of

organization of the system and that he
will probably recommend to Congress the
framing of a law for commission on ap-
pointments as far removed from political
influence as the Supreme Court, to
making. all appointments except foreign
ministers and certain high officials near

Gus ports. The recent refusal of the Rus
sian consul at New York to countersign
the passport of a Jewish woman whose

SUNK IN A FOG.
The Steamer. Corsica Collides with
an Unknown Schooner.
The Sailing Vessel, Cut In Two, Sinks In
stantly, and Her Crew Perishes-The
Corsica, Badly Damaged,
Is Beached.
A LAKE DISASTER.

ALPENA,. Mich, June 5.-The steel
steamer Corsica collided with an un-
known schooner Is miles off Thunder
Bay island on Lake Huron at daybreak
Friday morning in fog. The schooner
was cut in two and went to- the
bottom instantly. Her entire crew
was lost. The Corsica had no
time to wait for the rescue
of any survivors who might be floating
around in the mass of wreckage, as her
bow was stove in and water, was pour
ing into her hold. She was run on the
shore in Thunder bay just below Ossi-
neke. The bows are all crushed in for
considerable distance and twenty
four big steel plates are loosened.
STORY OF THE MATE.
Capt. Cumming was asleep at the
time of the collision. His mate states
that the Corsica was bound down Lake
Huron with a cargo of iron ore and
had run all night through the fog.
He claims that the Corsica did not run
into the schooner, but that the
schooner ran into the steamer. The
moment they struck he states that
the engines were reversed, and that the
schooner disappeared from view in a
second. Her disappearance was so sud-
den that not even her name, color or
size could be made out by those on
board the steamer. He is certain that
the schooner's crew were all lost. On
the steamer more attention was paid
to her condition than to the fate of
those on the schooner. for it was feared
at first that she was going down.
SLIGHT CLEw FOUND.
That the unknown schooner was lost
is made certain by the fish tug Angler,
which has just arrived here. She re-
ports having passed the cabin of the
schooner and large amount of wreck
age off Thunder bay. There was
no name on any article seen.
The cabin was about ID feet
long and was about one-third cut
through, which clearly indicates that
the steamer ran into the schooner. In
a coat which was picked up among the
wreckage was letter signed by Joe
Davy, 213 Cherry street, Green Bay.

velope on the letter nor any other way
