Hunting AIIigators.

There are men in the swamps of the
South who make their living by hunting
alIigators, said a man who has just re-
turned from that region. "Their mode
of hunting the saurian is very ingenious
as well as successful. In the summer,
when the swamps dry out, the alliga-
tors, which abound there in large num-
bers, live in holes ten or more feet deep
and inclined or slanting. The weapon
Of warfare used upon these creatures is
a long pole, at the end of which is a
sharp steel prod and hook. This is run
down into hole, and the alligator is
prodded until he becomes mad, then he
snaps the hook like a fish, and is iInme-
diately caught. He is then drawn up
TO the mouth of the hole and is shot
through the eye until dead The teeth
are extracted and the hide cut off. Both
are sold at some nearby place. Some
parts of the alligator are eaten, if it be
young. Chicago Times Herald.

ROMANCE OF THE NORTH.
Why Lady Clara Klondike Refused
the Count

Lady Clara Klondike, the golden
haired daughter of the first Duke of
Dawson, stood within the grand oak
en- hall of her fathers palace, overlook
ing the frozen river and the snow-clad
hills. She was clothed heavily in rich
and elegant fuTs, for the winter had
been long and hard and the end was
not yet
She shivered as the seneschal an

Michael Full we'll she knew the intent
Of the Counts VISIT, and she steeled
herself for the encounter which she
knew must follow upon their meeting.
Seeing the fair being standing by the
fireplace of the drawing room, look
ing more lovely than he had ever seen
her, he approached her side in a whirl
Of emotion.
"At Iast!" he calculated. in sup
pressed tones.
"Why?' she inquired In a tone of
voice which made the Klondike winter
seem like a tropic dream.
"Oh sweet Claire" he murmured,
so long have yearned for this mo
ment. Day unto day uttereth speech
and night unto night showeth knowI
edge, but all days were dumb to me
and all nights black in ignorance while
I have been waiting to come thus into
your presence and offer you my heart,
my hand, and my fortune"
Thus speaking, he flung himself at
her feet, the meanwhile ten large and
soiled Indians from the headwaters of
the river came forward rolling into
the reception room ten barrels of pure,
unadulterated gold dust, worth SO 80
an ounce at any mint in the land.
At first Lady Claire's fair face took
on kindly look, and there was in it
almost a rosy flush Of hope. She
watched the barrels eagerly, for they
looked so much like the barrels her ia

had come hither from Chicago SO many

However, it was but moment until

ORDERED DEPoRTED.
Important Decision Rendered by
u. S. District Judge De Haven.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-United
States District Judge De Haven rem
dered an important decision this morn
ing in the deportation case of the United
States VS.. Chung Ki Foon.
1t was sought to deport Foon because
he was without the certificate of resi-
dence required of Chinese laborers by
Section of the Act of Congress of
May 3, 1892. Foon arrived IN Portland,
Or, in 1876, and engaged in the general
merchandise business until the year
1892, when he came to California and
went into the business of a restaurant
and lodging house keeper. In November
of that year he was arrested on a charge
of robbery, and remained in the Kern
County Jail until January %, 1894, at
the end of which time he was convicted
and entered upon a five-years' term of
Imprisonment at San Quentin.
In the opinion Judge De Haven held
that the defendant was a laborer at the
time of his arrest, and therefore ordered
him deported from the United States to
China.

The Contents of the Decision to be
Placed Before Attorney-Gen-

ton That Immediate Steps VIII

SEATTLE, Oct. 27.-In the Federal
Court to-day Judge Hanford placed on
file his written opinion in the case OF
the United States Government against
Mrs. Cue Linn.
Now that the written opinion is on

G of the Act of 1894, if applicable 10
such cases. must necessarily be to ex-
clude them and deprive them OIL Iiie
rio.hts Granted by treaty of 1880.
II find" says Judge Hanford, sup
port for this decision in the OPINION VI
Judge Sawyer in the case OF An MoS'
wherein he shows that the ChlneSe hA-
clusion Acts were intended to apply 70
laborers as a class, and that the Wiie
of a Chinese person has the same status
as her husband, and belongs to the
class to which he belongs, whether she
is in fact a laborer or not. Also IN the
decision of the Supreme Court in the
case of Iau Ow Bew, wherein it was
held that a Chinese merchant having an
established mercantile business in the
United States and maintaining therein
a commercial dcmicile, upon returning
from a temporary absence was entitled
to enter and remain in this country
without producing the certificate re-
uufred by Section 6 of the Act of 1854.
Il agree with Judge Deadly that the
admission of Chinese merchants with
their families is not to be regarded as
a mischief which the Chinese Restriction
and Exclusion Acts were intended to
remedy. Chinese merchants in this
cOuntrv are doing an important part
and no benefit whatever can accrue to
the people of this country by depriving
them of liberty to dwell within our bor-
ders with their families, under the pro-
lection of our land"

The Mikado Government Still Very
Vague as to the Amount of
Damage 1t VIII Claim, the
Main Point Seeming to be the
EstabIishement Of a Precedent
Rather Than Compensation.

HONOLULU. Oct. 2O.-Cvia San
Francisco, oct. 2T)-The Hawaiian
Governments reply to Japan's latest
letter will soon be forwarded, and an
other step taken in the diplomatic con-
troversy. The President and his Cabi-
net are busy at work on the last letter
from the Japanese Government. The
tone of the document is much more
pacific than any of the previous COM
munications. This Government VIII
have some amendments to make to the
latest proposal.
The japanese Government is still very
vague as to the amount Of damage 1T
viii claim, and it still seems as If the
main point was the establishment of a
precedent rather than compensation
for the supposed injury inflicted upon its
subjects.
The negotiations will have to be con-
tinued some time longer, as Minister
Shimamura has no authority to accept
the amendments to the protocol, and
these will have to be forwarded to the
Foreign Office at Toxic for approval.
1t seems now that the controversy will
go to arbitration within a few weeks.
The China, sailing for Yokohama on
the Doth instant, viii carry the reply of
the Hawaiian Government. By the
middle Of November the letter should
reach the Foreign Office at Toxic. A
reply from the Japanese Government
may possibly be received here on the
Doric, due on December 10th. BY
Christmas the whole imbroglio may be
in the hands of arbitrators, providing
there is not too much correspondence
between the two countries TO determine
who the arbitrators shall be.
The United States steamer Yorktown
arrived on the 18th, fourteen days from
Yokohama. She viii probably remain

NEW YORK POLITICS.
Charged That Republicans Will
Vote for Van Wyck.

NEW YORK, Oct 27.-Speeches at
midday, speeches at night, with argu-
ment and quick work at all times, is
the programme for the week of the
half-score of parties contesting for the
honors in the election that is TO be
held in Greater New York on Tuesday
next. The message said to have been
sent by the George leaders to w. j.
Bryan asking him to give the weight
of his influence and eloquence in aid
of the Jeffersonian nominee is taken
as partial admission that their cause
is not in as hopeful condition as those
leaders have represented it to be. The
time is so short that it is scarcely to
be expected that Bryan will be induced
to respond.
The Citizens Union to-day issued a
statement which contained a remark
able charge-that the Republican Or
ganization had sent out orders to its
members to shout for Tracy and to
vote for Van Wyck. This report was
confirmed by a prominent member OF
Tammany, who stated taht Van Wyck
expects to get about $4,000 Republican
votes.
That Platt and Tammany will stop
at nothing is also shown by the facts
established by reports from many dis

Gloomy Outlook for the Frozen-in

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-It was
learned to-day that there are no sup

Station for the frozen-in whalers, and
the outlook for the imprisoned men is
very gloomy. Should they require as
sistance, the nearest point to which
they can look for relief is Herschel ISL
and, 400 miles away.
When the fleet of 1889 was frozen in
off Herald Island, the United States
equipped relief station at Point Bar
row, and laid in bountiful supply of
provisions. Not long ago the Govern
ment came to the conclusion that it
was a useless expense, and sold every
thing for $1,000. The last Of the sup
plies went on the Jeanie to the Pacific
Steam Whaling Company's vessels at
Herschel Island.

The One Execution.

She does not ride a wheel
And never wants to try;
Shy glances she won't steal
At boys who pass her by;
She's pink and white and blonde
As pretty as can be,
And yet she is not fond
Of caramels or tea.
She does not care for dress,
And yet in spite of that
Each day, / must confess,
She wears q different hat.
She never speaks or cries,
She's free from Sirlish guile:
To frcWn she never tries
Because she wears smile.
Perhaps you'd like to know
This perfect little miss.

And sweet as any kiss?

Until you're face 10 face

The present embarrassment is due
largely to the closing of the New Or

trade in New York. The fight between
the California Wine-M Makers Corpora
ton and the California Wine Associa-
ton, resulting in a depression of prices,
has also contributed to the failure.
