With the ultimate effects of the
Hagey treatment, The INDEPENDENT
has no views at present to express in
this column. That is a matter which
the future will decide for itself, and
for those who have honestly or dis
honestly passed, or will pass,
through the medical and social treat
ment presented by the Institute. 1t
may, however, be permmitted to ex-
tend few kindly words in the spirit
Of az revoir, or farewell to the gen
tlemen who introduced the "cure"
in our midst. They came to us as
business men with business VEN
ture, and they have so comported
themselves that they depart from
our city leaving behind them large
number Of very sincere friends, and
local SUCCESSORS of prominence to
carry ON the work they have so
thoroughly we'll initiated; to the
satisfaction OF those, at least, who
have placed themselves in their
hands. A spirit OF sterling friend
ship has been engendered between
Col Moore, Messrs. Cowart and
Kirkpatrick, and the members of
the Hagey Social Club, and the In
stitute, that must be equally graft
flying to both, and we feel assured
that the community at large will
join with us in wishing them, and
their local associates, Messrs. Ables
and Daniels, both eminently we'll

CHINESE BUREAU MATTERS.
More Frauds Detected in Chinese

Negligence.

Negligence.
Mr.. Girviu, Secretary OF the
Chinese Bureau, certainly has no
sinecure iu dealing with the crafty
agents who manipulate the Hong.
kong end of Chinese labor importa-
tions. Scarcely a mail goes out, or
comes in, but some tricky evasion of
the law is discovered calling for the
attention Of his bureau and the
Hawaiian Consulates in the Orient.
The latest is one OF the boldest
and cutest yet devised for it was cal
culAted to do exactly what it did, to
throw the Customs officials here off
their guard, and to obtain tho ad-
mission Of tho persons holding tho
fraudulent and forged permits into
the country,
Without unnecessarily entering
into details, the plan adopted was
somewhat like this. The permit
having been obtained for a contract
laborer in the usual manner aud
properly vised and registered by the
Consul. General at Hongkong and the
Bureau, the name was Ts-forwarded
to the Chinese Bureau here as
having embarked. SO far 50 good,
but some one got hold of that per-
NIT, and calmly committed a for
gerry by erasing the name OF the
original owner Of the permit and
other details and inserted another
name and details in red ink. AS the
registrations we're made in the ori-
ginal name iu the offices OF the
Consul General and the Chinese
Bureau, the trick could not be dis
covered until after the landing OF
the Chinese, and in checking the
register at the Chinese Bureau when
the dissimilarity OF names, numbers
and descriptions was detected
How it came about that the Gus
toms officials did not notice the
patent alterations in the permits and
challenge them is worthy of an ex-
planation on their part. The result
is that both the Government and
the Consul-General are out the
amount OF their legal fees.
Another delightful occupation ol
Mr.. Girvin's yesterday was to ap'
pend his name aud fill out the
blanks for no less than $50 Chinese
contract laborers, who are to arrive
in the course Of few weeks to assist
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald in

The Coptic only takes away 2;

al present owing to the fact tha
times are fairly prosperous will

ant one that since the Withdrawal

In the Democratic convention
that met at Columbus, Ohio, yes
terday, there were more than l4o
delegates who voted for Mckinley
last November. The chairman of
the delegation from the city of
Cleveland supported Mckinley.
Mr.. Virgil P. Kline, the leading
gold Democrat in Ohio, in an in
terview published in today's pa
per, declares that he will hereafter
prefer to support silver Demo-
craft to a Republican triumph that
means nothing but higher taxes.
The Chicago Chronicle, which
was established as a Democratic
daily in Chicago when the Times
Herald was purchased by the Re-
J publicans, seems to be ready to
get on Mr.. Kline's platform. In
recent issue it declared that sat
l this iuncture" gold Democrats
fought to welcome any possible

n Chronicle says that if Republicans
t say the silver Democrats may de-
t base the currency "the answer is

done nothing, though it promised
II much, to secure sound currency
