to Mr.. Raymond which would be an in
ducement instead of a Encouragement,
there is but little question but that the
sale would be at once consummated, and
our town take great stride forward.

WHITE HOUSE RENOVATION.
An Unusual Amount of Changes
Being Made This Season.

Washington, Aug. A. The annual
renovation of the White house in the
absence of the presidents family means
more this year than usual. Beside the
ordinary cleaning and painting num-
ber of changes will be made The most
important of these is the new doorway
at the rear of the red room. This has
been done in order to facilitate the egress
of the guests at receptions and obyiate
the necessity of ha- ing to make their
way through the dense throng that
usually on such occasions make the
inner corridor almost impossible. This
new doorway has been cut to correspond
in every way with the beautiful old
fashioned ones that lead respectively to
the red and green rooms. The last i'm
portant finishing touches of polish that
will bring out the rosewood to perfection
alone remain to be given. In the east
room the furniture will be entirely re-
covered in gold colored satin damask,
similar to that now in use. The curtains
will be renewed and there will also be a
new carpet, so that the effect will be
that of general newness throughout this,
the most imposing apartment in the
White house where strangers oftenest
congregate to greet the chief executive.

New York, Aug. 4.-The following
letter has been directed to Secretary of
the Treasury Carlisle: 1T is announced
that ten bulls have been shipped from
the City of Mexico to the Atlanta expo
sition for the purpose of giving exhibi-
tions of bull fights. l am informed by
counsel that my appeal to the president
from your departments decision, ad-
mitting these bulls, acts as stay. You
should therefore hold the bulls at the
frontier port of entry pending the deci-
sion of the president. Inasmuch as your
decision has had the effect of encourag-
ing the importation of bulls, and as bull
fights are being announced in various
quarters of the country in consequence,
| have no reason to believe that the
president will uphold your decision,
which was misconstruction of a section
of the tariff law, which in effect seeks to
exclude all things of immoral use. Ger
tainly, if you admit the bulls pending
the decision of the president, l am of the
opinion that you will be liable to inn
peachment at the next session of con-
gress under the statutes. | have the

WHY CHINESE ARE BARRED.
The Mongolian Merchants Are Too

The Mongolian Merchants Are Too
Prosperous in Nicaragua.
Washington, Aug 4.-In a report to
the state department Consul O'Hara at
San Juan del Norte tells why Nicaragua
does not permit Chinese to longer land
at ports on the eastern coast of that
country, as was briefly mentioned in a
dispatch some days ago. The report
says that prior to 1886 there were no
Chinese in Nicaragua. In that year
few We're brought into the country as
plantation hands. In this work they
were found to be inferior to natives and
when discharged they went to mining or
gardening and a few to shopkeeping.
From time to time others came into the
country, and in March of this year the
Chinese population of the department of
Zalaya reached 300. Between March
and May of this year about 175 Chinese
landed at Bluefelds, some from Costa
Rica but majority from New Orleans.
Most of the Chinese are miners. They
work their own claims, live for little
and do not become discouraged if their
findings are small. The Chinese mer
chants who have established themselves
have become strong competitors of the
white merchants, not only in the sale of
goods but in the purchase of gold, rub
Der and other production of the country.
