IMPORTANT DECISION.
Relative to When a Constitutional
Vacancy Occurs in an Office.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.-The Su-
preme Court to-day decided that con-
stitutional vacancy exists only upon the
expiration of the term Of Office for
which a candidate was elected.
S. A. Holmes was elected Judge of
Fresno County for a term of six years,
which term was to expire January 4,
1897. Judge Holmes died in Decem-
ber, 1894, and the Governor appointed
S. L. Carter to fill the office until the
election and qualification Of his sue
cuessor. In November, 1896, George F.
Church was elected to fill the unexpired
term of Judge Holmes. He qualified
November %, 1896, and demanded of
the State Controller his salary until
January 4, 1897. This was refused,
on the grond that the Legislature of
1895 passed an Act abolishing the office
of one Judge of Fresno County.
A mandate was presented to the Su-
preme Court, and that tribunal holds
that the Act provided that it should
take effect upon the expiration of the
term Of Office Of the incumbent, and
that this would mean, in the present
case, the expiration of the term for
which S. A. Holmes was elected

. Tuolumne County Miner Fright
fully Muti1ated by Falling Into

Blast, the Explosion Taking
His Escape.

PORT TOWNSEND, Sept. 3.-F. D.
Huestis, the new Customs Collector for
the Puget Sound district, who took Of
flee a few days ago, has made q new
ruling in the matter of admitting Chin
ese laborers. He has refused admit
tance to seven Chinese who arrived from
Victoria, 3. c., on the ground that they
had departed from other ports when
leaving this country.
Until fifteen months ago the require
ment was enforced that Chinese must
re-enter at the port of departure, but
during the past year compliance With
this condition has not been reQlir ed
from Chinese immigrants. owing to
precedent established bN The Treasury
Department in the case of the Strath-
nevis immigrants. when Chinese were
admitted regardless of The port of de-
p2rture. AS a result, many Chinese sue
ceeded in entering here when they could
not have made a satisfactory showing
at the port from which they had de-
parted.
Collector Huestis' return to the for
mer rule has called forth a storm of pro-
tests from interested Chinese residents
of the Pacific Coast. The action of the
new Collector will probably decrease
the wholesale entering of Chinese
through this port and district, nearly
/ 200 having been entered here during
the past six months.

that it could needlessly commit itself TO

nothing. Count Muravieff has always
behaved as Germany's friend, and L
