aAlN N JAPAN.
Queer Native Mcthodsto Coax showers In
Timcs of Drought.


During tile summer season in Japau
droughts are very frequent, and the rice
fields, before 90 beautiful, presenting as
they do all the different shades of green
imaginable, gradually lose their bril-
liancy of color, turn yellow and ,srched.
and threaten the total destruction Of the
crop. Not only does the rice suffer, but
the wells dry up and necessitate the csr-
rying Of water from long distances. So a
drought in Japan is indeed d great ca
lamity.
After waiting and hoping in vain for
downfall of rain, the people turn out
en- masse to evoke the power of their
deities to send them the saving showers.
A procession is formed Of perhaps 200
men, all nearly naked. who, carrying
straw emblems representing the sun with
rain pouring from it and with long
streamers having prayers written on
them flying in the wind. proceed to the
nearest river or bay, where the whole
company wa,les into tho water until
they are ws;st tluaa and surrounding
the emblems rruS alortl and throw wa
ter on tho in i.ns with uath hands.
After dolnT his several lines tho pro-
cession is r,.tr1:ed, when it proceeds to
the Temple Q pray again This cere-
mony is rtpra,ed several times, and
should thnr.,in couo in abundance pray
ers are offered in thanksgiving Should
it be only a slluNer. they blame them
selves for not having prayed fervently
enough ard continue their devotions un-
til a downpour takes place.
Another form Of devotion for the same
purpose takes place at nightfall, when
long boat is filled with men and padded
swiftly across the harbor, accompanying
the prayers by the regular beatings Of
tomtoms and gongs. Sometimes at night,
away down the bay, may be heard the
weird sound of the tomtoms and the
voices of the men gradually growing
louder and louder as the boat approaches,
each man bending to his paddle in regu-
lar time as it passes us swiftly and grad
ually disappears in the darkness and is
soon lost to sight and hearing. g.-Yoko-

STILL IN PRISON.
No Order Releasing the
Deportees Yet.
An Application Made by Prosecutor
Garter Which Is Taken I'm
der Amusement.

No action has yet been taken by the
Federal courts with regard to the Chin ese
ordered to be deported and now in the
Alameda County Jail at an expense to the
Government of between $50 and $40 a
day.
Yesterday United States District Attor-
neS Garter made an application to Judge
Morrow of the United States District
Court for an order of release. producing
his telegraDhc instructions from Attor-
ney-General Olney. The Judge took the
matter under advisement and may act to-
day.
As it takes some time to prepare papers,
no such application has vet been made to
Judge McKenDa of the United States Cir
cult Court.
or the fourteen Chinese ordered to be
deported from mis- district nine were SEN
fenced by the United States District Court
ana five by the Circuit Court. As to the
large number OF Chinese brought here by
Marshal Gard from Los Angeles for de-
ortation under Judge Ross orders, Attor-
ney Garter has nothing to do with them.
Mr. Garter was hoping yesterday that
the attorney for the deportees, Mr..
Riordan, would move in the matter by ask
ing for dismissal of the appeals and ap-
plying for writs of habeas corpus; but
Mr.. Riordan does not propose TO do any,
thing of the kind. 1t is cheaper for he
Chinese to do nothing, as, under the new
law, they will be released in time any way.
No instructions have yet been received
relative to registration at the Office of In
ternal Revenue Collector Quinn. When
the registration does begin the Collector
will have to carefully examine each appli-
cant as to whether he has ever been con-
vcted of felony in this country.
A mistaken impression has gained ground
to the effect that the four Chinese, one of
whom. Ho Tai, was from this city, and the
other three respectively from New York,
Philadelphia and Los Angeles, who were
put aboard the City OF New York for de-
portatiou, will also be released. The law
does not apply to them at all, as they were
not ordered deported under the Geary act.
They were cases that came under the old
exclusion act.

Tue cigarettes manufactured were of the
abominable regular Chinese variety, twenty
in pack. There was also large quantity
of unsamped tobacco.
The proprietor of the factory is Son 10y.
an old offender, who has store at S07

for his arrest, and Kun Sing and Lee Hoy
were locked up. Over year ago Son 10y
was caught violating the laws and all his
property was seized
As this time 1000 cigarettes were found
in Son Logs factory. the charge on which
the warrant was issued against him was
under section 1887. to wit: Having in his
possession. which is made a felony, and
for which the penalties are fine Of from
500 to $1,000 and Imprisonment for from
SIX months to three years. II convicted
under that charge he could be deported.
The charge against Kun Sing and Lee
Hong is that of manufacturing, which by
the statute is simply misdemeanor, the
minimum penalties being less and the
maximum ones greater. viz A fine OF
from 500 to $4,000 and Imprisonment for
from three months 20 five years.
Deputy Collector Jones also made an
other seizure. He found about 800 cigars
in boxes which had been refilled in ID.

THREE-CARD SHARPS.

P. II. Ryder, resident of Los Angeles,

tells of an experience man named Stout,

The method pursued was the old three
card game, somewhat modernized in its
features. but apparently not as effective
as it was years ago, when the overland
trains were frequently the scene of pas
sengers being swndled out of large
amounts. Mr.. RYDER. who was formerly a
member of the United States secret serv-
ice, says that he saw the two men and that
one of them was a crook of national repu-
tation named Pence. who but short time
ago was released from the Utah peniten-
tlary after confinement there of several
years for some of his crooked work.
