Lee Ben, alias Lee All Bing, and Guam
loon. alias All Toon, two Chinese in the
old City Hall police station on a charge OF
burglary. were removed to the County Jail
yesterday without Police Court commit
ment. They did not even have prelim.
mary hearing. and it is highly probable
they will never be tried for committing
burglary.
The United States has taken hand in
their case, and began by taking them away
from the city police jurisdiction. Both
Lee and Quan are ex-convicts, and being
such they have no right to remain on
American soil. They were taken to the
County Jail on warrants sworn out Dy the
United States Marshal, accusing them of
being ex-convicts and being here In viola
latioD OF the McCreary act. The prisoners
will be given hearing this week in the
United States courts, when an effort to de-
port them to China will be made und er

the geological survey of the state. 1t
will include description Of all the inn
portant deposits in each county Of the
state, accompanied byra discussion OF
the geology. of the mode of occurrence
of the ores, their distribution, extent
and origin. A chapter will also be
included relating to the metalurgy OF
lead and zinc ores, and to the manu-
facture and utilization of these meta Is
/ in the arts. Brief descriptions of de-
posits of lead and zinc ores elsewhere
will be included for comparative pur-
poses, as well as statistics Of lead and
zinc the world over. A full chapter
will be devoted to the history of lead
and zinc mining in Missouri, for which
great amount of original material
has been collected. The following ta-
bic is extracted from this chapter. 1t
presents for the first time complete
statement Of the production OF lead
and zinc ores by counties, and will be
of interest to many. If the approxi-
mate average values at $40 per ton for
lead ore and $50 per ton for zinc ore be
applied, it will be seen that the value
of the states output to date is over
$50. 600. 900.

An Important Meeting of Republican
Senators.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-The majority
of the republican senatorial committee
met yesterday in the rooms of Senator
Hale for the purpose of discussing the
bills for the admission of the various
territories to the union. The discussion
was protracted, and when the meeting
adjourned, the committee, it is said. had
agreed upon its line of action only so
far as the territory OF Utah was con-
cerned. It was decided that no oppo-
sition should be made to the admis-
sion of that territory. although there
was division of sentiment as to the
wisdom of annexing it to the state of
Nevada
1t was agreed that owing to the
enormous state that would thereby be
created it would be inadvisable to
sanction any proposition looking to the
consolidation of New Mexico and Ari-
zona, but If they were admitted at all it
should be as they are at present con-
stituted. Action in the case of those
territories will be taken at n subse-
quent meeting.
The committee also had mp, in an in
formal manner, the bill TO repeal the
federal elections law and while no ac-
tion was taken, ID was plainly the
sentiment OF the members present that
dilatory tactics should not be pursued,
but as soon as the debate has ended,
the bill should be permitted to come to
a vote.
