SLICK CElESTlALS.

WASHINGTON, March 3l.-The Ell.
forcement of the Chinese exclusion act
causes the treasury officials much trol.
BILE, MS the Celestial proves himself to
be very slippery person. He 10 NO"
engaged in turning himself from las
borer into merchant. To such an exc
tent is this the case that Assistant Sccs
rctary Spaulder has written the follow
ing letter to the collectors on the PN
citic coast to stop the fraud
The department is informed that .
practice obtains among Chinese labor
ers in this country who may accounts
late small sums of money, of entrustina
such money to merchants, which 10
treated as part of the capital OF the
business, Chinese laborers who have
made such disposition of their savings,
although not actively engaged
in mercantile business, have claimed
to be merchants and thereby enti
tied to leave the country and td
return to the United States. The des
partment desires you TO closely scrutk
nize certificates which may be presented
at your port of returning Chinese and
to require evidence of the standing Of
the holders as bona fde merchants
actually engaged in business. In no
case should Chinese be permitted ts
enter as merchants unless their right
to the privilege is clearly established.
and where it appears that the practica
herein referred to is attempted, the &C r
tificates presented should be ignored,
the holders arrested and the facts re-
ported to the department"

JUDGE RICKs.

His Decision.
The Judge Thinks n stupendous Striks

Similar Order Once nefore-A Much
Desired Correctlp Is Made.

CLEVELAND, O., March 31.-Judge
Eiclss of the United States court is
home from Toledo and is busily en-
gagged in preparing his Forthcoming de-
;lslon in the contempt cases of the Lake
Shore engineers and firemen, which he
will deliver at Toledo next Monday
morning at 0 o'clock.
Judge Kicks said that Judge Taft was
preparing the decision in the case
against Chief Arthur, and both would
be delivered by him at the above time.
'Of course said he, 81 can say moth
Ing about the decision until that time.
The matter has caused a great deal Of
interest. and in Toledo the courtroom
was filled with railroad employ cs dur
ing every hour of the session"
"Was your now famous ruling the re-
suit of spontaneous conclusion, judge?"
NO | have made similar order
once before, but the case was settled
before i. was delivered, and being
smaller far did not attract much at.
tention."
'lt has apparently given you wide
spread reputation"
"lf it is sustained it will doubtless
attract some attention. You would be
surprised to know how many letters |
have received from jurists and lawyers
all over the country on the subject, and
railroad men tell me it has undoubtedly
been the cause of preventing wide
spread strike throughout the length
and breadth of the country. 1t has
done that much good, anyhow.
would like to have you make one cor
rection for me, for know 1t must have
been unintentional on the part OF the
newspapers. In conversation through
the telephone some nights ago ] was
made to say that the railroad men at
Toledo virtually had the heart taken
out of them. What said was merely
that the railroad men there were quiet
and did not seem inclined to continue
the strike. The matter was of no
consequence ov@rp. LAT i h, o con-

THE DECISION.
Neither Side Seems to Under
stand the Result.
Action of the Brotherhoods a Matter
of Great Uncertainty. - y

Labor Organization Mt Present-Their
orly Recourse IL to Vote for No
One Not Favorable to Labor.

TOLEDO, O., April A reporter had
an interview with number of the
members of the brotherhood after the
decisions in the U. S. court had been
delivered, and a great diversity of opin
ions was brought to light. Many OF
them feel that it is the direct result OF
monopoly's oppression, One well-knowr
brotherhood man said: "We are abso
lutely nndone as Il labor organization
for the present; we now have but on;
resource, and as an organization, feder
ating with other labor unions and
brothcrhoods, we propose to vote here
after only for men absolutely known tc
be in sympathy with the rights and
necessities OF the laboring element

ored both of capital and political in.
triguc. We are not as devoid OF wisdom
and ordinary intelligence as the railroad
companies would have you believe. . We
have the power, and mark my words, II
is only question of time when the vic.
tory shall be ours"
Vague rumors were ahoat Monday
evening as to what immediate course
the brotherhood will pursue, but all
show an inclination to await the pro-
mitigation of special orders from head
quarters
Ask n Lake Shore or Ann Arbor
striker what he thinks of the decisions,
and he will probably reply; "0h,
dunno" These two words just about
express the general situation here at
the present time. The majority of the
strikers seem utterly unable to decide
for themselves whether or not they
have gained point in the controversy,
and the intelligent public is in about
the same fix.

ANNEXATION.
Japar, 1t Is said, Is After the Hawaiian Is
lands,

JapaN, IL " Sald, Is AFTER the Hhwaian IS
lands.
WASHINGTON, March 3l-The an
nouncemcnt that Japan wants to annex
Hawaii has attracted considerable at
tention among congressman. Ex-
pressions favorable to anneXtion to the
United States are now heard from those
who have opposed the proposition. II
is conceded upon every hand that to
back down from the position we now
occupy on the islands-to lower our
flag from the palace-w not only be
an acknowledge that we were in
error, but that this government is tickle
if not cowardly and faltering. 1t is
suspected that the talk of japanese
control is an English move and it is
spurring up our Legislators, many OF
whom are growing anxious for the re-
port that is to come from Special Agent
Blount.
1t is believed that Mr. Blount will
make some kind of preliminary report
upon which the senate can take action
before it adjourns and that the presi
dent will not dismiss the senate till he
hears from Mr.. Blount A protectorate
is likely. Should any step be taken by
Japan, England or any other foreign
power to annex the Sandwich islands
this government would protest 1t is
bound to secure at least neutral ad
ministration of the affairs of the
islands. More interest is being taker
in Hawaii just now than has beer
shown since the Inauguration Of Pre- 81

SAD ENDING
Of Sailing Party on Lake Pontchar'
train.
A GIoop Capsizes With Terrible Results
Two Sisters Die In Fond Embrace
The Result of the Inability OF the
Man In Charge of the Vessel.

New ORLEANS, La, April 3.-A sail
Ing party on Lake Pontchartrain came
to a sad end Sunday afternoon. Thomas
Kelly, his wife, Mrs. Mary A. Kelly;
W. b. Knoops, stenographer; Thomas
Smith, an engineer; Ed Smythe, a
mechanic; Miss Mamie McCue, aged 16;
Mary Flynn, aged l3; Agnes Flynn,
aged Is: Maggie Sheppard, aged 20 and
Etfie Kelly, aged ID, went to Milne
burg, Il lake end resort and hired a
sloop to go out for few days sail. a
After coasting about the lake for a
few hours, they determined to make a
trip mile and half out from shore
where they saw a fishing party. The
course of the sloop was changed and
the party was soon within hailng dis
tance Of the fishing party. Thomas
Kelly was in charge Of the sloop and
attempted to guide the craft AS the
boom went from starboard to port, the
sloop's gunwale went under water and
the boat was filling rapidly. Kelly lost
his head and ordered the people in the
party to right the boat by getting on
the other side. His evident lack of
ability caused the women in the sleep
to be infected with his fears and they
tumbled over one another in their eff
forts to obey his order.
AS consequence the boat was cap
sized and the entire party was thrown
into the water, which was thirteen feet
deep at that point The anchor of the
sloop slipped from the deck, and caused
those of the party who had secured q
hold on the keel to lose their grip The
men in the skiff saw the accident and
pulling up their anchor, pulled over tc
the unfortunate party of pleasure seek
ers. The rescuers were Godfred Mer
zenach and B. Schneider They sue
ceeded in reaching Maggie Sheppard
and Mamie McCue; but, as they were
on their way to rescue Mrs Kelly, SHE
gave cry of despair and sank to the
bottom before the eyes of her husband
Agnes and Mary Flynn slipped
from the bottom of the upturnet
boat and sank to the bottom in one an
others arms Little Efiie Kelley clung
to the rudder part of the sloop with tht
energy of despair but each wave
which struck the boat caused her littl,
hands to slip and the girl went down
moment before the skif could reacl
her, The men were all saved, and will
the two rescued children were rowet
to the shore. The news OF the drown
ing ran through the city like wild fire
and by evening the lake was dott7t
here and there with boats filled will
men at work searching for the bodies o
the four unfortunates. BY night not
trace of the bodies had been recovered
but the search will be kept up through
out the night and until all hope of re
covering the bodies is at an end. Z. c

wild with grief and has sworn that HI
will kill Thomas Kelly on sight H.

PETERSBURG, Va, April 4-The for
Sst fires in the counties contiguous to
Petersburg are proving more destruc.
tive than any that have occurred in
this section for many years, and the
reports received here Monday are very
discouraging
Any number of private residences
were burned Monday evening and in
some instances there were narrow
escapes of persons from being burned
to death. The residence of w. 2. Spain,
IN Dlnwiddie county, fifteen miles from
Petersburg, was burned, together with
twenty-five outhouses Miss Lucy
Spain, the daughter of Mr.. Spain, who
was sick in the house at the time it
took fire. tainted, and narrowly escaped
being burned alive.
In Sussex county ten or a dozen family
residences were destroyed, mostly with
their contents. Thousands of cords of
wood and an immense quantity of valu-
able lumber have been burned. N. II.
Burrow, OF Prince George, alone lost
5000 cords of wood, valued at 81, 900, on
which there was no insurance. The
losses by these fires will reach SIS, 900
or 800, 900
