THE Chinaman on the Pacific coast is
not always the paupcr laborer or bond
slave the sand lots orators tell about.
A protest was made to the labor COM
missioner Of California few days since
that white women were working in the
employ Of Cinnamon in fruit orchards
at Traver, in that state. Two China
men bought the fruit crop and hired
the women to gather It, condition Of
things which the labor union thinks
should not be. Another instance in
point Is at Prineville, Ore, where .
chlnapan owns a big hotel, which he
rents to an American landlord, who
runs It for Caucasian guests.

THE LIBEL SUIT
Against the Marquis of Queensbury, Brought by Oscar Wilde, Has a
 Preliminary Hearing.

LONDON, March 9.-The case of Oscar Wilde against the Marquis of Queensbury, who was arrested few days ago at the in- stance of Wilde upon the allegation that the marquis had grossly libeled him, was heard in the Great Marlborough street police court today. The court room was crowded. Mr. Wilde was placed upon the Bangor O. O'Flaherty Wylls Wilde.
 To the question, "Are you an author and dramatistf" Mir. Wilde replied, ''I think am well kpown.',
 The magistrate ordered him to answer the question, whereupon he said = Yes. ''
 In course Of his examination Mir. Wilde said he first became acquainted with the Marquis of Queensbury in 1893, although he had seen him prior 10 that time.
 Mr. Humphreys, MT. Wilde's solicitor, produced letter which Mir. Wilde said had beer handed to him by Lord Alfred Doug lass as coming from the Marquis Of Queens bury. The letter was not read, but it is alleged to contain other libels, as 1t men, tions the names of several persons of ex- alted social standing.
 MT. Edward Carson, member of parlia- ment, solicitor for the Marquis of Queens bury, said that the defense sought to show that the marquis had exercised a fathers privilege in seeking to protect his son from Wilde's frien dship.
 The ma gistrate ruled that this contention amounted to plea of justification, which question would, therefore, arise later.
 The Marquis of Queensbury. after the usual formal caution as to making incrim- mating statements, was asked by the court if he had anything to gay.
 He replied: ''I have only to say that wrote on tue card complained of simply with the intention of bringing matters to a head, as had been unable to see Mr. Wilde otherwise, and to save my son from his in- flueuces.- abide by what I wrote.''
 IL S~~ .~II tt-xl trial, his bail being continued and he was again released.

AN ACCIDENT AT THE START KEEPS HER
 OUT OF RACE.
 CANNES, March 9.-The race for prix de Monte Carlo was the event announced for today. The starters were tine Britannia, Ailsa, Corsair, Valkyrie and Oretta. The weather was cloudy and wind light.
 After the usual maneuvering for posi- tions, the Britannia crossed the line first, as she invariably does with the windward position. This she did at exactly 10 o'clock. Just at this time the Ailsa was seen to be in trouble, and it was soon ap- parent that the jaws of her gaff had been carried away. Instead of crossing the line she turned back aud anchored. The Bri- tannia won, with the Corsair second.
 When the Ailsa dropped out interest in the race became greatly lessened as it was fore gone conclusion that the Britannia would win, which she did easily. The Britannia drew away from the other boats from the start. The wind freshened from the east after the yachts passed St. Honorat mark boat, and the Britannia increased her lead. The time of passing Nice was the Dritau mia, 12:30:30; Corsair, 12:46:30; Vaikyrie, 1925 :5; 0retta, 1:12:1O. 4,
 The Oretta broke her gaff top sail hal- yards of Cape Martin and was obliged to put into Nice.

 SELMA IN SAFE HANDS. Marcus J. Meyer Will Be Her rsNext Mayor,
 S AND HI A GOOD BOARD Of AP9 rmen Will Bring the Ceg ial City to tho Front. ;@ The Ticket. 
tH A GOOD BOARD

SELMA, March 9.-(Special Correspo ud- ecce. 1.-The democratic primary passed off quietly yesterday There were three little scraps at three of the polling places, but the bot-headed young men were separated be. ore any damage was done, and all parties concerned made friends. The sun did not go down on their wrath.
 At oyie time during the canvass q split in the city democracy seemed inevitable, but u few wise men, in whom both sides had confidence, got together and by heroic ef- forts brought about a reconciliation. A postponemeut of the primary, the early call Tor which was the reason assigned for the action of the reform faction, was se- cured and the fight was kept inside of the family.
 The primary election yesterday was "transparently honest,' and every demo- crat in the city is satisfied with the result.
 MT. Marcus J. Meyer, who was selected as the democratic candidate for mayor, is a patriotic, enterprising, public spirited cit izen. For many years past he has been member of tho city council and has served as chairman of all the important commit lees. In every trust he has worked hard, faithfully and conscentiously for the best interests of the city. He is thoroughly familiar with the city's finances and the city's needs, and is qualified by experience as well as by native ability to serve the city as it's chief magistrate.
 There has been much complaint here among Christian aud moral people against gambling and Sunday drinking, and the desire to put stop to these evils was in re- ality the cause of the reform movement. These evils MT. Meyer has promised posi- lively to correct, and he will do it.
 The gentlemen nominated for council- men are all good men and will serve the city faithfully aud well. One was selected from each ward, as follows:
 First ward-Marshsll Cawthon.
 Second ward-W. w. Burns.
 Third ward-W. D. Lockhart.
 Fourth ward-Charles Sparren berger.
 Fifth ward-George Stuck.
 The board of equalization is as good as could be asked for. On 1t will be J. T. Knowlen, B. 5. Melvin and John G. Nor ris.
 The city democratic executive committee is made up of almost entirely new mate- rial, and as it stands is composed of good, conservative men. who will serve the party and the people well. The personnel of the new committee Is:
 First ward, J. J.. Hooper and A. O. Stoddard; Second ward, J b Clay and R. D. Walker; Third ward, W. E. Allen snd L. Benish; Fourth ward, J c. Hayward and J. D. Mosley; Fifth ward, w. Shana- han and Thomas s. Stephens.
 The city democracy is in safe lands for two years 10 come.

doubtful whether President Cleveland will think it judcious to act upon the commit tees resolution until proposals for con- ference assume something like definite shape.
 Friction between the Anglo association f Armenia and the Armenian Patriotic asso- citation has arisen over the use of the funcs collected for the purpose of agitation. The funds have been largely subscribed in England. One of tue effects of the quarrel has been partial cessation oi narrowing stories of atrocities, and the public sus- picion as to the genuineness of the rspurts having increased the cash donations have considerably lessened.
 Under the infiusnce the liberal pr 'ss have relaxed the severity of the,r attacks upon the porte, and even tue know-it-all Constantinop,e correspondent of the Speaker has become silent. On the other hand it is undoubtedly true that the radi- cal positivest, Professor Beesley in assail ing the anti-Turkish agitation as being influenced by species of sectarian bigotry is getting the approval of the radical press. Professor Beesley in one of his let ters saye:
 "Becauses the Turk is down aud without international friends it is thought that he may be kicked with impunity; te;ause the Turk is Mohamm .dan Christians think they ought to be the kickers.''
 The Wesleyan conference commit tee on united action of the Meth
 
 vene in council in Lonoon represen- tatives of All the Methodist churches in Great Britain. The meeting will be unique occurrencs and will tend to com. plete union of the Wesleyan churches.
 A lockout of employees in the Leicester mills is imminent. The trouble is due to reduction of wages made neces- sary by the influx of American goods, which are flooding England. The British manufacturers declare that their trade will be gone entirely unless the payment of lower wages enables them 10 meet the American competition.
 Reports to the contrary notwithstanding, the Prince of Wales is grievously ailing through some trouble with the viens in his legs, which has associated itself with previous varicose manifestations in the lower limbs. These varicose symptoms have developed very much recently. h consequence of his trou ble it has been ar- ranged that he make a prolonged stay in the Riviera.
