SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-The ha-
beas corpus cases of Wonk FOX and
Tsu Use Nee, the two convicts who
have been ordered deported, We're be-
fore Judge Morrow to-day, and argu-
ment was heard. Attorney Solomon

Judge Morrow took the matter under
advisement, and will render a decision
in a few days. The matter is consid-
cred important as it has been the GUS
tom to have the Commissioner hear all

HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Islanders Regret the Action of the
Senate Finance Committee.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Hawaiians
now sojourning in this city express sur
prise and regret at the action of the
Senate Finance Committee in striking
out of the tariff bill the clause exempt
ing Hawaiian imports from the opera
tons of the Act. Former Minister
Thurston, now here on a special mis-
sion, said the abrogation of the reci-
procity treaty meant disaster and ruin
to the business interests in the islands.
1t would create a universal smash up
in a business way until things were put
on a new basis. The treaty was fully
as advantageous to the United States
as to the Hawaiians.
Los ANGELES, May 5.-At a meet
ing of the Board of Directors of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Associ-
alton. held to-day resolutions were
passed requesting California members
of Congress to use their influence
against the continuance of the Hawaii
an treaty, in view of the fact that there

HALE & NORCROSS LITIGATION.
Several WelI-Known Mining lien
Charged With Forgery.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-Informa-
ton of a sensational character, charg-
ing several Well-knoWn mining men
connected with the Hale & NOrcrosS
litigation with forgery, has been lodged
with District Attorney Barnes by At
torney Baggett and w. NJ. Fox, with
the view, it is said, to the issuance of
warrants for the arrest Of those ac-
cused. The specific charges are the
alleged forging of the seal of the Hale
& Norcross Silver Mining Company and
the issuance of fraudulent certificates
of stock of the company by the parties
complained against.
The trouble had its origin in the diff
ferences that have existed between the
stockholders of the company for some
time past The suit of M w Fox
against Alvinza Hayward, Hobart and
others of the company, which resulted
in a judgment of nearly 81 100000, is
directly responsible for the bitter an
tagonism that has been displayed
among those interested in the COM
pany's affairs. Hayward sought to re-
tain control of the mine by the election
of his agents to the Board of Directors,
but Fox was on hand continually, de-
termined to Illustrate this design.
Grayson and his friends recently held
a meeting of their own and elected a
Board of Directors. The Grayson board
at once organized for business, and the
necessary certificates of election We're
made out and sent to Nevada to be
filed. AS these certificates required to
be stamped by the official seal of the
company, which was in the possession
of Secretary Collins and therefore un-
obtainable, a fac smile was made and
the documents duly stamped. This, ac-
cording to Attorney Baggett, who rep
resents President Fox, constitutes a
felony under the provisions of Section
4io Of the Criminal Code, which de-
clares that the making of a seal of an
Incorporation by unauthorize dpersons
constitutes a forgery
