TRICKS THAT ARE VAIN.

The Chinese Certificate Racket Abolished
by Order OF Acting Secretary Hanlin.
WASHINGTON, June 0.-The treasury
department for some time has believed
that the Chinese were using ailidavits
of authorization for illegitimnte pur-
poses. Some, taken out here, were sent
abroad and sold to Cinnamon; in other
cases the Cinnamon would dispose Of
them after reaching China, and in both
cases the law was violated.
Under the law Chinese merchants
who decide TO leave this country to
visit China have heretofore been fur
nished with papers which, when in
dorsed by the United States consul at
the port Of debarlSation, were to enable
them to re-enter the United States.
Acting Secretary llamlin thinks the
abuse should he stopped and has adj.
dressed the collector at Boston the fol-
lowing letter on the subject:
Under date OF April ~ last the United States
consul at Hong Kong transmitted to the de-.
partment Of state anidAyils submitted to hi m

Collector j. l. Swift TO 70 Sang and Yee Mon

SPECIAL SESSION.
The President Makes a Public An
nouncement.
IT WILL BE IN SEPTEMBER.
II May lie sooner n Contingencies Arise
The silver Bullion Law, the Presi-
dent Says, Menaces tho whole
Country.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-President
Cleveland said last evening, in reply to
direct question by a representative Of
the Associated press, he intended TO
call an extra session Of congress not
earlier than September nor later than
the 10Th, unless unexpected contingent
cies should necessitate an earlier meet
ing. The president further said;
while there has been no mystery
nor secrecy in regard TO my intention
in this matter, | think IL not amiss that
our people should he informed authori-
tatively that the time is at hand when
their representatives in congress will
be called upon TO deal with financial
condition which is the only menace to
their country's welfare and prosperity.
II is well for the people to take up the
subject themselves and arrive at their
own conclusions as to the merits Of a
financial policy which obliges us to
purchase silver bullion with gold taken
from our reserve.
"One does not need the eye of n
fnancier TO see that this gold thus sub
tracted from the governments stock is
eagerly seized by other nations for the
purpose Of strengthening their credit
at our expense.
ut does not need the art of states
manship to detect the danger that
awaits upon the continuance of this
operation. Already the timidity of
capital is painfully apparent, and none
of us can fail TO see that fear and APP
prehension in monetary circles will ul-
timately bring suffering to the very
humblest home in the land.
II think that between now and the
meeting Of congress much depends up
on those engaged in financial opera
tions and business enterprises. Our
. vast national resources and credit are
abundantly sufficient to justify them In
the utmost confidence. Instead of be-
ing frightened they are conservative,
and II, instead Of gloomy anticipating
immediate disaster, they contribute
their part Of hope and steadiness they
will perform patriotic duty, and at
the same time protect their own inter
est. Things just now needed are cool
ness and calmness in financial circles,
and study and reflection among our
people"

And Gustavus Lynmore, forgetting
his recent sweeping condemnation, OF
haste, ran downstairs into the reading
room and clapped his old acquaintance
cordially on the shoulder.

the agreement, IL being understood that
each rohd as II voted was to declare
whatever objections IL had TO the agree
ment All voted in favor of the agree

ticularly in San Francisco and other

definite agreement for the redemption
Of tickets. II these matters are disposed
OF the Santa Fe will join the associa-
ton. Otherwise IL will not.
The opinion is steadily gaining
ground among the eastern railroad
men that they have put their rates too
high, and that unless they lower them
they will stand an excellent chance
some Of them--of losing money. Let
tiers by the hundreds are pouring in
upon them asking why people can
travel for one and one-third fare TO a
horse fair, n reunion of veterans,

other event, which calls out a
comparatively limited attendance and
why, II they wish TO come TO the
worlds fair they are asked TO pay one

made last spring lower rates from Chi

with the cnticing stranger.
Master Harry, all unconscious OF the
dreadful fate awaiting him, went home

ness from various candies, and loaded
down with toys, and directly after
wards II bouquet OF rosebuds arrived,
containing Mr. Lynmores aristocratic-
ally engraved card.
"Dear me, how polite" said the love-
ly widow, dimpling and blushlng. "l!ut,
then, darling Harry wins all hcartsl"
Darling Harry, forsoothl
The next day Harry went to the park,
and new volume OF poems In tinted
paper and creamy Turkey binding was
sent 10 llarry's mamma; the next day Il
pearl ring was intrusted 10 the youth
for his mother; the next II pony was
hired for Harry 10 ride, and that even
ing diamond of the purcst water, set
IN narrow hoop Of gold, was sent up
TO room No. 20 with Mr.. Lynmorcs
compliments. Nor did the lovely widow
spurn these gifts.

row I'll take Harry 10 the menagerie,

Mr., Lynmore endured the geological

There stood the golden-haired beauty
