FRAUDULENT CERTIFICATES.
Another Scheme to Help Cinnamon
Unearthed at San Diego.

SAN DIEGO. Aug. 12.-Chinese Inspec-
tors Williams and Lynch of San Francisco.
now 10 this city, have unearthed a novel
scheme by means Of which returning Chi
nese laborers have been admitted to this
country as merchants.
The scheme appears to have been formu-
lated by James Russell, detective OF this
city, whose dealings with Chinese have
been of an Intimate nature. Certificates
were drawn Gp in proper form and signed
by well-known citizens stating that the
person referred to was a merchant, and
underneath their signatures appeared the
affidavit of Russell that the signatures were
genuine and those of rerutable citiZens.
On. the face the certificates appeared to
be perfectly regular. but were in fact
fraudulent, neither Russell nor any one
else swearing to the fact that the Chinese
in question were merchants. At least fifty
Chinese are said to. have been admitted at
San Francisco on certificates of this char
acter sent out from San Diego
The business will be thoroughly investi-
gated ana efforts made to punish offenders.
Quan Leohg, Chinese laborer, was ar
rested by the inspectors here to-day for
having entered on such a certificate on

DRASTIC REMEDIES NEEDED.
Peculiar Condition of the Markets in
England.

England.
MANCHESTER, England, Aug. 1.-THE
position of the market during the past
week was unchanged, which means that
matters are gradually approaching the
point where over reproduction and record
breaking low prices must induce drastic
remedies.
The large exports are apparently unable
to absorb the output. therefore there are
always needy sellers who are ready to ac-
cept the best offers going. The indica-
tons are the Indian markets are becoming
glutted. Still offers of low limits were
fairly numerous, especially in Calcutta.
Further east little was doing. The minor
markets, like South America and the
Levant. were rather more active. Yarns
continued to sell slowly, as needed by
weavers, generally at a loss.
Neither buyers nor sellers were anxious
to do forward business. The spinner mar
gin was rendered worse by the sitter
prices of cotton. The stopDage of ma
chnery is a magnificent reality, but the
attempts at concerted action on large
scale are still frultess.

LAST EDITION
THE new BONDS.
Rate and Amount the Same
as February Issue.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.--There IL no
longer any doubt that an issue OF bonds
has been definitely decided upon and it
can be stated on authority that
the circular asking for bids will be issued
during the present week and probably
tonight or tomorrow. 1t is realized that
the gold reserve has now reached point
where it could be completely wiped
out by few heavy shipments and it is
thought to be the part of wisdom not to
await until the gold in the treasury is
practically exhausted before making an
effort to recuperate it.
On Wednesday last, Mr.. Carlisle, after
several consultations with the President,
wrote to President Stewart of the United
States Loan q Trust Company of New
York, reciting the law as to the issue Of
bonds. and asking his opinion as to
which class Of bonds could be placed at
this time to the greatest advantage to the
Government. The result Of this COR
respondence was that the President and
Mr.. Carlisle decided to make the forth
coming issue the same in amount and rate
and in nearly all other important particu-
lars as the February issue. The
circular is now being prepared, and the
indications point to an official announce
ment tonight or tomorrow.
