HE LIVES IN THE CHURCH
But the Members Claim lie Is There
Unlawfu.ly
The Fresno Adventists Have a Fight on
Their Hands With the Fashionable
Legal Trimmings

FRESNO, Oct. 22.-The Society of the
Seventh Day Adventists of this city to-
day brought suit OF unlawful detainer
against M. j. Church, the purpose of
the suit being to oust Mr.. Churcn from
possession of the house of worship KIN own
as the Adventist church.
The complaint recites that Mr.. Church
took forcibie possession of the property
on the Sd of October ana has retained
possession by threats OF violence.
The property in question is one OF the
finest churches in the interior of the
state. 1t cost about 1000, and Of this
amount the society contributed about
$4,000, and Mr.. Church the balance.
Differences have arisen between Mr..
Church and the society, and several IN
effectua lefforts have been made to dispose
of the property and effect settlement.
The matter finally eliminated by Mr..
Church taking up his residence in the
rear of the building and holding posses
sion up to date. Bolts on the church
doors have been broken and IN some in
stances heads are said to have been in
danger of similar treatment.
Tho deputy sheriff, who went this even
ing to serve the papers in the suit upon
Mr.. Church, was unable to gain admis
sion to the building. Whether Mr..
Church was there is not known.

UNLAWFUL IMPORTATIONS
Not of Goods, but of Lab0rers from
Japan
A Thorough Search Shows tina. There Is No
Danger Of an Influx of Little
Brown Men

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. - Commits
slonerGeneral Stump of the i'm immigration
bureau has made to the secretary of tn Q
treasury his report Of the results of an
investigation recently made by him in
person to the allegation that Japanese were
being imported into this country, under
contract. in violation of the alien con-
tract labor law. The Commissioner-gen-
eral visited al the ports in the nortn.
west at which Japanese could enter the
United Staes on the Pacific coast, and
after a thorough examination of all the
facts, he finds there is no reason to fea1
any influx OF Japanese, and that the
statement that large numbers of them
have been improperly admitted to this
country is absolutely untrue and with out
foundation. He finds that it Is not th 9
policy of the Japanese government to en-
courage migration, and that Japan re-
quires each person leaving the country to
be supplied with passport which is only
issued to those having ample means of
reaching their destination.
The census of 1890 showed that at that
time there were 2039 Japanese in the
country, and it is the opinion of the
com issionr general that this nun ber
has not been materially increased since
then. The arrival of Japanese at all ports
duringt he fiscal year 1894 Is stated to
have been 1881, and during the last fiscal
year 1850, decrease for the year of ISL.
The nun Der of Japanese who arrived
at San Francisco during the last half of
the fiscal year is given at 329. At Van
couver, the arrivals for the same period
amounted to 1884.

Colonel Colt that the correspondent in
Mrs. Colts libel for the divorce is Mrs.

although she admitted that Mrs. Becker
was the correspondent, Mrs. Colt said: Il

we we're in New York together not long
ago and l know her too intimately to be-
lieve any such stories as have been cir
culated regarding her relations with
Colonel Colt"
Mrs. Becker is 26 years old and the
daughter of a MINISTER. Up to a month

BROTHERLY LOVE PREVAILS
AT the Presbyterian Sessions at San
Jose
They Are Still Struggling With Cases Of
Contumacy Which Are Not Likely
to Be Decided

SAN JOSE. Oct. 22.-The spirit of
brotherly love prevailed at the m eetIng
of the esbyterian synod this afternoon.
The report of ssevera, committees were
read and adopted, and Rev. Cosby's sub.
stitute to the suspension of the rule re-.
quiring professors of the theological sem
mary to give their entire time and in
huence to the seminary was agreed to.
This left the special committee on the
seminary no footing, and it reported no
progress and asked to be discharged. A
motion to that effect prevailed. and one
of the biggest contests OF the synod was
at an end. Rev. W. A. Young of Los An
geles was elected secretary, and Frank II i.
Babb of this city permanent clerk for a
term of three years. 1t being stated that
the conditions which prevented A. E.
Foster serving as director had been re-
moved, +. II. Baob resigned from tn Q
directorate and the standing committee
will fill the vacancy, probably selecting
the former. Revs. John Dinsmore, H. II. .
Rice and F. H. Robinson were appointed
a committee to select a committee of
nine upon a Presbyterian college. The
mem bers were urged not to leave the city
until the commission appointed to in
vestigete the First church of Los Angeles
trouble had reported, as quorum was
necessary TO receive and docket the same
1t is probable that the synod will COM
plete its work at noon tomorrow, but the
Indications are that the commission will
not be able to report before the end of
the week, and if the synod has not q
quorum, their work will go for naught.
1t is still hearing arguments on the Cor
don com plaint.

CONSUL WALLER'S CASE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Mr. Ethel

the time the proceed ings against ex-Con-
sui Waller we're in progress, today pre-
sented mis- version of the case to Acting
Secretary Uhl of the state department
Besides contending, as he did strenu
ously, that the proceedings of the French
authorities were entirely unwarranted,
and that the French court was without
jurisdiction, Mr.. Woodford presented
affoavits secured by himself from nu-
merous persons in Antananarivo to show
that Waller had not been supplying the
Hovas with arms as was charged. He
also called the attention of the secretary
to the treatment to which Mrs. Waller
had been subjected on shIpboard from
Mauritius to Marseilles. Tor which he
thinks Consul Campbell is largely respon-
sible. because of his failure to secure bet
ter accommod ations for her.

He Himself Would Not Have Written Had
lie Been Obliged to Reprint
in America

LON DON, Oct. 22.-Herbert Spencer
writes long letter to the Times this
morning on the Canadin copyright ques-
ton. in the course of which he indicates
an important issue which has been en-
tirely ignored; namely. that the multi
plIcaton of the centers of production
prevents the writing of many books
which would otherwise be written. This
does not affect works of amusement, but
on works of instruction it often weighs
with fatal effect, not killing, but pre-
venting their birth. The exaction of a
condition, Mr. Spencer goes on to say,
that books must be printed in America
is a serious evil in the American copy
right act, and would be increased if
Canada and the other colonies were to
succeed in forcing similar stimulation
on British authors. "In my own case"
Mr.. Spencer says, had l not obtained a
sale in America without reprinting here,
the works which have occupied me since
1860 would never have been written"

CLAIMS EXAMINED
And Subjected to Discount-Governor Budd
Wants to Know About Whittier

SACRAMENTO, Oct. pa special
meeting of the state board of examiners
was held this afternoon, when the claims
of Sheriff Whelan OF San Francisco,
amounting to about $250G, were again con-
sidered. The sheriff CLAIMED that he was
entitled to that sum for conveying insane
persons to asyiums and prisoners to the
penitentiaries. The examiners contended
that his fees were too heavy, and held
up the bills for an investigation. After
an explanation today by j. Fitzgerald,
the sheriff's bookkeper, explaining why
1t was necessary to charge for three days
instead of one in taking an insane person
to an asylum, the claim was allowed, less
5000.
Governor Budd called attention to an
inconsistency in the law under which
boys are sent to the reform school at
Whittier. Under the law grown va
grant is sent to jail for ninety days and
a petty larceny thief for six months.
When boys are convicted of similar
offenses they are sent to the reform
school to remain until they are of age.
The attorney-general was asked to give
an opinion upon the rights of superior
judges to commit youthful offenders for
such long terms.

sound as 1t devoured the hemlock tops was terrific, and the men were bent on building line of fire to start toward it., hoping that when the two lines met the fury of the flames would be subdued for lack of material on which to feed. It was while thus employed that they encountered the snakes. The ground seemed to be literally alive with rat tiers, the reptiles crawling in the direc- ton of a rocky bluff not more than 100 yards distant. The men were all equipped with high top leather boots and paid little heed to the snakes, step ping on them as though they were but harmless old sticks. Campbell says that the rattling made by the reptiles could be heard above the roar of the distant flames. The "back fire" made by the men caught dozens of the crawl CTS, and they were burned to death. When the flames advanced so close that the snakes saw further escape was im- possible, they would coil up in a heap darting their heads madly at the tongues of flame. then relapse when the heat overcame them, moment later to be devoured.
 Campbell also tells of strange sight which he and his men saw on this trip They were crossing a strip of burned ground when the attention of one of the men was attracted by a moving object in the boughs of a big hemlock. The crew stopped to investigate About twenty feet above the ground on large limb near the trunk of the tree sat a full-grown catamount. and in her paws she held kitten. The mother had evil dently failed to reach point of safety with both her young, or having done so had lost her hold on one, and he fell to death in the fire below.
