SIXTY CHINESE STARVING.
But Only In Strictly Legal and
Technical Manner.

As n Matter OF Fact They Are Getting
Three Square Meals n Day, Although in
the Eyes of the Law They Eat Not at All
"a Curious Case.
WAsHINsToE, July 20.-Sixty Chinese
are metaphorically starving to death on
board steamer at Portland, Ore, with
plenty to eat at their disposal. This para
doxical state of affairs has been brought
about IN this way:
The Haytien Republic, steam pas
sen9er and carrying vessel, recently ar.
rived in Portland with large number Of
Chinese on board, and as Go of these could
not produce evidence that they were enti-
tied to reside inthe United States, they
were forbidden to land.
AT the same time the Haytien Republic
was libeled for smuggling opium and
Chinese subjects, with the result that the
owners abandoned the vessel, leaving the
60 unfortunate Chinese on board. Believ-
ing that the owners had done this to make
the government care for the Chinese, thus
saving themselves from the expense OF
supporting and deporting the latter, the
Treasury Department refuse to interfere In
| the matter and the Celestials were left on
board the vessel uncared for, foodless and
| forbidden to land.
A protest from the Chinese minister
| against allowing his fellow-countrymer
to starve caused the administration to TAXI
action. and after II consultation between
officials of the State and Treasury Depart
ments and the Department of Justice, i
has been officially decided that this gov
eminent has no right TO interfere, and tina
either the owners of the Haytien Repnbli,
must care for their contraband passenger
land this they will not dol or the Chimes
must starye 70 death in the midst Of plenty
pending the disposition OF the libel in til,
courts.
This is The official decision, but it ha
also been determined that the Chimes
shall be fed three unofficial meals day
actually feeding V the ' Chinese Il shuts It
eyes to the fact and in order to be thor
oughly consistent, the government main
tains that the 60 men must go withou
food until the court settles the matter 0

Passes.
CHICAGO, July 23.-The White City was
deserted to-day, and the warm sun Of the
peaceful Sabbath shone upon desolate
thoroughfares, lonely Columbian guards
and o few inhabitants OF Midway Plat
sance, who had left that cosmopolitan quar-.
ter early in the day to view the big build
ings in the Park. The Sunday closing
order was rigidly enforced. and any Der.
son who entered the Exposition grounds
had to prove that his presence there was
absolutely necessary.
All buildings were closed, and the sign.
"Closed to-day" placed on the doors Of a
few of the State homes, was entirely I'M
necessary, as there were no persons in the
park who cared to do any visiting or sight
seeing. All the electric and steam launches
and gondolas. were tied up, no fountain
was playing, the thousands Of booths were
barren OF wares and their handsome sales
women, and, altogether, it was the most
complete closed Sunday" the Worlds
Fair has known. = :

distinction of party. The Brooklyn
Times says of him: "When President
Cleveland appointed James II. Eckels
of Illinois as Comptroller of the Cur
rency the appointment was generally
regarded as a serious blunder. Mr..
Eckels was known as a rising young
lawyer; he made some clever speeches
during the campaign, but he made no
special pretensions TO expert knowledge
in regard to banking. 1t must be con-
coded, however, that Mr.. Eckels has
pleasantly disappointed the critics and
shown degree of capacity that seems
to Justify the action of the President in
appointing him."
In brief but thoughtful postprandial
talk at the Union League Club, on
Tuesday evening, Mr.. Eekels showed
that there is no warrant for alarm in
conservative business centres. Some
speculative institutions in boom cities
have gone up, but the States of New
England, the Middle States aud the
Northwest, not less than the South,
have thus far escaped and will, because
the foundation upon which they are
builded is of rock and not of sand
''What the American people ought to
do, in the midst Of the failures that
have occurred" he said, sis not to
give away to uncalled-for alarm,
but to study the characters of the
institutions that have failed, the
causes which have produced the failures,
and the localities where they have
occurred. After such a study they view
the solvent institutions everywhere
about them, and the conclusion that
must irresistibly follow is that the legiti-
mate business life of the country is not
threatened, but instead will come out oil
the present turmoil the stronger for
having passed through it. In conserva-
tive business centers the failures have
been few, either in banking or othei
lines. Bad banking at any and all times
is dangerous, and must inevitably bring
disaster upon those who engage in it
The present stringency has simply hast
ened the closing of some banks because
they were inherently weak. Others hav,
closed as q resultant effect of having
kept alive the operations of Speculation
in the extreme West and in portions o.
the South. The art has not yet beef
discovered of making something out o
nothing" "It is not time of panic,
he said, "because we have passed TIL
period in our history when panic is
| possibility, but it is one of SLOW
liquidation, the result of undue specu
!, lation and unwise financial legislation.
( 1.-THE people are hoping and askin
r much from the banks of the country
l In turn, the banks have the right @
0 considerable treatment from the people
Q Let those who have so long transacte
