Novel Scheme For Landing Chinese
Laborers Unearthed at San Diego.
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 12.-Chinese Inspec-
tors Williams and Lynch of San Fran
cisco, now in this city, have unearthed a
novel scheme by means of which return
ing Chinese laborers have been admitted
to this country as merchants. The
scheme appears to have been formulated
by James Russell. detective of this city,
whose dealings with Chinese have been
OF an intimate nature. Certificates were
drawn up in proper form and signed by
well known citizens, statins that the per-
son referred to was merchant and un-
derneath their signatures appeared an
affidavit of Russell that the signatures
were genuine. and those of reputable citi-
zens. The face of the certificates ap-
peared to be perfectly regular, but in
fact fraudulent neither Russell nor any
one else swearing to the fact that the
Chinese 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 busi
ness will be thoroughly ventilated, and
attempts made to punish the offenders.
Quan Leong, a Chinese laborer, was ar
rested by the Inspectors here to-day for
having entered on such certificate on
April 9TH.

BENTON HARYoR (Mich.), Aug. 12.-
Alderman Charles Schriver was shot in
the leg by w. w. Bean of the st. Joseph
and Benton Harbor Street Railroad early
this morning. Several months ago Beams
franchise expired, and two weeks ago he
was notified to remove a certain portion
of the track to permit street paving. Last
night the paving work was stopped on
account OF the track not having been
moved. The City Marshal. with some
Aldermen ahd forty laborers, went to the
scene at 4:30 this afternoon to remove the
track. Bean was there with several en-
ployes and Deputy Sheriff. When the
Marsha's men began to move the tracks
Bean fired at Schriver wounding him
badly in the leg. Others of the MarshaPs
men were covered by the guns OF some Of
the st. Joseph men. Bean was arrested.
and work resumed by the Marsha's
posse under guard, and this afternoon the
track was piled upon the side ofthe street.

Resolutions Passed at a Meeting of
Democrats at Ballaire, Md.
BELLAIRE (Md.), Aug. 12.-The tariff
reform meeting of the Hartford County
Democrats presented the following reso-
lutions:
ReSoLUed. First, that we cordially re-
iterate our Endorsement OF the Democratic
National Platform of 1892, and the efforts
of our incorruptible President and the
National House OF Representatives to
formulate into legal enactment by the
Wilson bill its promises and provisions;
second, that in the name of the Democrats
of the House we repudiate and condemn
the obstructive and traitorous action OF
our Senators from Maryland. who grossly
misrepresent their constituency at the
behest OF the sugar trust and other COM
bines; third, that Senator Gorman's as
PERSONS Of President CIeveland's pat
riotic course merits and receives unquali-
fed condemnation; fourth, that it is only
consistent with the action of a Senator
who has published TO the world his peri
grinations through the filth and mire of
politics that he should no longer consent
to occupy the position he has sought to
PROSTATE by his renegade action, con-
scious as he may be that he has betrayed
the party which elevated him to it.

large attendance and most successful

young, enthusiastic strangers. all wearing
badges, and bicycles are about the only
vehicles to be seen anywhere.
The track is in excellent condition, be-
ing as hard and level as an asphalt pave
ment. That it is very fast is indicated by
the records that have been broken during
the past week by visiting and local riders,
and no doubt exists that new records will
be made. The races will come of Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday afternoons,
and until then the visitors will be liber-
ally dined, wined and smoked, and taken
by various routes over the many fine
cycling roads and through magnificent
mountain scenery.
All day long the quarters of the Denver
Wheel Club has been thronged by yis-
ltors, and local wbeeimen have started in

enjoyable and record breaking meets in
the history OF the League of American
Wheelmen is remarked.
THE RELAY RACE.
DENVER, Aug. l2.-The relay riders

consumed In carrying the message from
Washington to this city, a distance OF
2,037 miles, was days, 10 hours and 81
minutes, gain OF 81 hours and % min
utes of schedule time. George II. Nc
Carthy was the last rider. AT Sand Creek
he took the message and covered the
necessary five miles in the dark in the
remarkable time of 20 minutes. A. D.
Black took the bag from him and deliv-
cred 1t TO Governor Waite, a message
from President Cleveland, and to General
McCook one from Greeley. Both recipi-
ents Immediately telegraphed, acknowl-
edging the receipt of the messages, and
Governor Waite made a speech that
suited his hearers. The streets were
thronged with people, and as Mccarthy
sped down Arapahoe street, into Six
teenth and up to the Courthouse, mighty
shout encouraged him in his final effort.
All wheelmen are talking of the remark
able time made, and congratulating the
riders who have done such good work.

to-day in the acquittal of all but three of
the accused. After the counsel for the
defense had finished their speech, Faure,
Grave, Bastard and Bernard addressed
the court, protesting their innocence.
Their remarks were couched in moderate
language, denying in every respect the
riot of the anarchists. The cases were
then given to the jury. who spent two
hours III considering the questions put to
them by the Judge. The verdict was
that the charge against the prisoners of
belonging to criminal association was
not proven. Arts, Chericott and Bertani
were found guilty of robbery and of hav-
ing been in illegal possession of weapons.
All the others were declared not guilty of
the charges against them, and were dis
charged. Artis was sentenced to fifteen
years prisonment at hard labor, Cheri-
cott to eight years and Bertani to six
months. The end of the trial was mark ed
by no incident. Those who had been ac-
quilted left the courtroom quietly.

BENTON HARBoR (Mich.), Aug. r.
The steamer Puritan of the Chicago. st.
Joseph and Benton Harbor Transporta-
ton Company ran into the tug Richmond
and cut her in two. The Puritan was
coming into the harbor and was running
unusually close to the wharf and at an
unusual rate of speed when she struck
the tug, which was just leaving the dock.
The Captain and his crew got off before
she went down.
Fortunately there were no passengers
on the ferry boat at the time, but the
crew of three had narrow escape from
drowning. The steamer City of Chicago
had just arrived from Chicago with a
large number of passengers and there
was great excitement shown as the
Puritan rushed toward them at full
speed. In striking the Richmond the
Puritan took tangent track, barely

carried on the stem of the Puritan a

presumably after the tariff has been
passed, will be Senator Chandler's reso-
luton for the investigation of the Ala
bama election. After this all is uncer-
tainty. Almost everything will depend
on the action of the House on the tariff
bill. Whatever that action may be, it
can be counted on as quite certain that the
two remaining appropriation bills will
receive consideration during the present
week.
The conference on the sundry civil bill
has been already disposed of and it is
not probable that much more time will
be spent upon it. The Conference Com
mittee on the general deficiency bill has
been in session all day, Notwithstanding
it was Sunday, and it is believed it will
be in shape for early presentation to both
Houses.
II, therefore, the House should decide
to accept the Senate amendments to the
tariff bill. the Senate could be prepared
to suspend proceedings on almost any
day after Thursday. If the House should
decide upon an opposite course, there is
no saying what would happen in the
! Senate.
The tariff is engrossing the attention of
the House. and has so far no programme
whatever for the work.

GENEROUS RAINS.
The Crop Situation In Nebraska Ma
teriallY Changed.


OMAHA, Aug. 12.-All day generous
rains have fallen throughout Nebraska,
and the crop situation is materially i'm
proved. The rains have extended in
Colorado, South Dakota. Kansas and
Iowa.
This gives rain to large section of the
farming districts in Nebraska, where
corn has been much damaged, but agri-
culturists think corn will be one-third OF
an average yield.
The drought has given great impetus to
irrigation throughout the State. A big
ass-meeting was held at Long Pine,
Neb., the center of the district burned up
last night, TO discuss the question of irri-
cation and proposition made by report
of Eastern capitalists to construct canal
through Brown, Rock and Hall counties,
providing these counties contribute $780,
600 in bonds toward the enterprise, be-
sides a certain guaranty of water privi-
ieges. Before the close of the meeting a
resolution that it was the sense of the
meeting that the proposition be accepted
was carried. The sentiment here is
unanimous in favor OF the project. The
