Court Of Appeals Upholds Chinese Exolu-
sion Law.
Decision Today In the Case of Chan
Gun, and Judge Cole
Upheld.

The Court of Appeals today, in an opin-
ion written by Mr. Justice Shepard, af-
firmed the judgment Of the court below in
the case Of Chan Gun, the Chinese sailor
whose deportation from this country was
ordered by Judge Cole the 18th of last June
under the provisions of the Chinese ex-
clusion act.
The Chinaman. man of forty-eight
years. claimed that he had been q resi-
dent of the United States continuously
since 1859, except when, in 1885, he ship
ped as cook and steward on an American
registered ship at Philadelphia bound for
Hong Kong, China, and that while at
Hong Kong he visited his wife and child
for month or so, and then Immediately
returned to this country.
He also claimed that cook and steward
Is not lahOrer within the spirit and in
tent of the exclusion act that he was ar
rested by deputy internal revenue col
lector, and that having appealed from such
arrest to the Secretary of the Treasury.
Judge Cole was without jurisdiction to
make the order of deportation.
Chan Guns counsel, Mr.. Edwin Forrest,
sought to secure the Chinaman's release by
writ of habeas corpus, but Judge Hagner,
by whom the petition for the writ was
heard. discharged the writ, and remanded
the Chinaman to the custody of the mar
shall for deportation Whereupon, an ap-
peal to the Court of Appeals was taken,
the man being meantime released on bail
in the sum of $3.50
Thereupon the government asked for a
writ of prohibition to prevent the giving of
the bail. and when that writ was refused
the government also appealed.
In disposing of the two appeals today the
Court of Appeals not only sustains the
Chinese exclusion acts, but also decides
that the order made below admitting the
Chinaman 10 bail was erroneous and must
be reversed, the act of November 3 1893
directing nan6inp a n n
order of deportation the Chinese person
shall remain in the custody of the United
states marshal, and shall not be admitted
to bail.
Sustaining the action of Judge Cole, the
Court of Appeals also holds that the arrest
of the Chinaman and the subsequent pro-
ceedings before that judge. as well as the
action OF Judge Hagner in refusing the
mans discharge on habeas corpus, were
regular and fully warranted by the law
applicable in such cases.

GOLD IN ALASKA.

The Governor Say. the Output ts In
cFeasing.
James Sheakley, governor of Alaska. in
his annual report to the Secretary of the
Interior, says:
There is great encouragement in the
outlook for the Alaskan gold mines. Dur
ing the year ending the first of this month
s2,30O,00O in gold bullion has been taken
from the mines. the greater part being the
product OF low-grade ores, much of which
yielded less than "a per ton Almost any
grade of gold ores now can be worked at a
profit there. Confidence in Alaska as a
gold-producing country increases with the
development Of her resources"
On the subject Of the fur seal agreement
the governor says: 1.-The concurrent regu-
lations agreed upon by majority of the
tribunal of arbitration for the protec ton of
the fur seal in Berlng sea have entirely
failed to afford the intended protection or
to prevent the destruction Of these ami
mails Pelagic sealing In any way will re-
suit in the determination of the entire race
within a very few years.

BLOCKS PERFECT FUSION
Election Supervisor Taylor of Ohio Refuses
to Change the Ballot.
A POpulist ElectOr Withdrew, but 1t
Xitiate the Whole State Election.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio October 23.-State
election supervisor, S. M. Taylor. has re-
fused to call back the official state ballot.
" hich he certified to the county boards OF
elections several days ago, and take of the
name of w. F. Barr. which appears on 1t
as populist candidate for elector In this
district. Barr refused to resign in obedience
to the fusion agreement until yesterday af-
ternoon, when he asked the supervisor to
withdraw the name.
Supervisor Taylor holds that after he has
certified the ticket form his power over 1t
ceases. and the only way to change name
on 1t is by pastors.
He makes the same ruling In regard to
Miller. republican candidate for elector,
who IS fatally Ill, and has resigned.
Tine fusion committee and the state su-
pervisor had a sensational conference last
night. in which charges and counter
charges were made. The supervisor Is a
republican and the fusionfsts charge that
he is using his office to aid the republi-
cans The conference was renewed this
morning, but the supervisor reaffirmed his
decision of last night, not to recall the
ballot and remove the name. The fusion
lists think the presence of the populist tick
ct on the ballot with but a single name on
it will confuse voters and cause many of
them to make fatal mistakes in marking
their ballots.
They are determined to have 1t Off. and
threaten to take the question to the courts
for decision. which may tie the matter up
and vitiate If not stop, the election In this
state. Their attorney, George b. Okey.
made this threat in his argument. and
warned the supervisor that If he did not
want to precipitate serious confusion and
run the risk of having the vote of Ohio
thrown out of the national election he
should remove the name Of Barr from the
ballet.
1t is claimed by the republicans that no
courts will issue mandate or injunction
that might interfere with the election. Nc
legal proceedings had been instituted at
noon.
