OUTRAGE ON CHINESE.
Two Witnesses MnnacIed and Eek.
posed In the Streets of Portland.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 13.-The fact that
Chan Fee Law and Sin Long. two Chinese,
held as witnesses to appear against Sin You,
the murderer OF Laf Sing. were taken be-
fore a coroner's jury and exposed on the
public streets in irons may lead to serious
complications. The Chinese are very indig-
nant over what they deem to be an out
rage. and. through their representative at
Washington, damages may be demanded for
the indignities heaped on their countrymen.
The two men were not criminals-simply
witnesses TO a murder, in which one of their
countrymen shot another. AS much for
their protection as TO insure their presence
in court when wanted. they were held at
the central police station under bonds. On
Monday the sheriff, who had possession of
the prisoner and the two witnesses. took

said that. so far as the two men simply held
as witnesses were concerned, their being
ironed was a grave outrage. THE fact is
that under treaty rights these Chinese were
made to suffer great indignity,'' said he. 81
think that under the terms of her treaty
China comes under the most favored nation
clause, and these men can demand damages
from the government. II has been held
that a sheriff has not even the right 10 iron

for the Uruan affair being dependent on
whether or not IL occurred on Venezuelan

Officers of the League Elected and
Committed Reports Adopted.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The National
Civil-service Reform League to-day elected
the following officers for the ensuing year:
Hon.. Carl Schurz, president; vice presi-
dents, Charles Francis Adams, of Boston,;
Augustus r. Marlborough and Right Rev.
Henry G. Potter, Of New York; ]. Hill
Peasants. OF BALTIMORE; Henry Hitchcock.
of st. Louis; Henry c.. Lea, of Philadelphia;
Franklin fMacveagh. of Chicago; Right
Rev. S. r. Ryan, of Buffalo. and William
Potts, Of Pennington. The report of the
official committee on extension entered into
detail regarding the recommendations con-
tanned in the recent order of President
Cleveland extending the civil-service rules.
The committee recommended that appli-
cants for positions in the diplomatic SER
vice be given fair and open examination
under the civil-service commission, thereby
relieving the appointing power OF the temp
tation 10 have the men 1t desires pass the
examination unfairly. The report was
adopted. The report of the committee on
legislation was submitted,
the preparation of a number OF bills for
Introduction in Congress looking to the
betterment of the civil service. 1t was
agreed to. The committee on the District
OF Columbia made "a report recommending
that the government of the District be
placed under civil-service rules. 1T was
adopted.
Mr.. G.. d. BOnaparte, OF BALTIMORE, reau
a strong paper dealing with civil service
and it's application TO Maryland politics.
The long rule of the ring there, he said,
was owing to the fact that through it's
absolute control OF the State and municipal
patronage il was able to maintain in Balti-
more, at the peoples cost, a small standing
army of experts in election frauds and pro-
fessional ruffians, unreservedly subject to
it's orders and prepared TO furnish any
reasonable majority which could be re-
quired for it's safety under normal condi-
tons; while il could likewise assure them
almost certain immunity from punishment
for their crimes committed in it's interest"
He adds, lit fell at last. not because 1t
either could not or would not cheat, but
because, although il would. il could not
cheat enough TO overcome the widespread
revolt within that party against its do
m~inion.'
Tonight the delegates were given a re-
ception at the Arlington Hotel by the
Civil-service Reform Association OF the Dis
trict. The large attendance included a
number OF officials. Impromptu speeches
were made by Rev. Mackay-Smith. Score
tary Morton, Carl SchurZ, +. L. Wheeler.
OF New York. Sherman 5. Rogers, of Buff
falo. Controller Eckels. William Dudley
Foulke and others. Ailusion was made to
the work OF President Cleveland in the
direction OF civil-service reform and 10 the
memory OF George William Curtis. whose
labors I'm behalf of civil service were so
well known.

BEER On ELLIS ISLAND.
Its Sale vigorously Condemned by the

BALTIMORE, Nd. Dec. 13.-At the Sec
ond days session or the National Reform
Association the Rev. Mr.. McAlister. editor
OF the Christian Statesman, OF Allegheny,
Pa. aroused considerable interest when he
referred to the continued sale of intoxi-
cants on Ellis island. New York. ION this
island. owned by the government of the
United States" said he, beer is sold to
strangers who enter the gates OF our coun-
try for the first time. Commissioner Of In
migration Stump is. in a large measure,
responsible for the selling of beer on the
island, but Secretary Carlisle is also guilty,
because ne sanctions the traffic"
Mr.. II. N. Hanna, a member OF the Chris
tian Endeavor Society, said: Our society
Is deeply interested in the efforts to put an
end to the sale OF intoxicants on Ellis
island. We protested to Mr.. stump against
the sales that were made right on the por-
tails of our country. He replied that the
selling of beer did not interfere with The
work OF Christian people on the island"
The convention passed resolutions con-
denning the sale of intoxicants on Ellis
island.

Ia Increase Pay of Letter Carriers.

SpeCIdf 10 CHt INuIdfIaVOls JUuIndl-
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-Representative
willis has introduced a bill which deserves
the support of every member OF the House.
MIR. Willis believes. with very many other
persons. that the present pay of letter car
riers Is not in proportion to the work done
by them, and he will endeavor to have II
increased. The previous experience OF Con-
gressmen who have sought TO benefit the
carriers has warned Mr.. Willis TO make
haste slowly. and his present bill, therefore,
proposes only that in cities of over 1900
Inhabitants the salary OF the carriers shall
remain as il now is for the first three years
OF service. but that for the fourth year and
thereafter the salary shall be s., 200. In cit
les having less than 1900 Inhabitants, Mr..
Willis would have the pay 300 for the first
year, $500 for the second year. and for the
third year and thereafter, $1.c0. The bill,
II IL becomes a law. will involve an addi-
ton of perhaps 100000 per year 10 the
annual appropriation for the free delivery
