FOR SMUGGLING CHINESE.
Government Officials Mt Malone. \.
v Are Under Arrest.

w S. Chance, supervising special agent
of the Treasury Department, VIII arrive
In Washington this morning from Malone,
n. Y. where he Syent a few days ago to
look into an alleged violation OF the
Chinese exclusion law by the customs
officials at that place.
As the result OF Mr.. Chances investi-
cations. Deputy Collector y. W. Porter
Chinese Inspector Cleminshire, and Chi
nese Interpreter Moy 10y, all officials
OF the custom house at Malone, are under
arrest, and four Cinnamon brought into
the country in violation of the law are
held as evidence against them
Mr.. Porter, who has been deputy col
lector at that place for number of
wears. was arrested during Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration on the same charge
but was acquitted. the evidence not be-
ing sufficient to convict him
IL Is thought at the Treasury Depart
ment that the operations of this combi-
nation have BEEN very extensive. and 1t
is declared to be one of the boldest at
tempts TO defraud the Government in
this way that has ever been brought to
light.
Under the Chinese exclusion law. China
men who are entitled to come into the
country are required to provide them
selves with papers duly acknowledged by
the Chinese government officials. setting
forth the necessary information as TO
their property and intentions in coming
into the country. In previous cases where
fraud mas been attempted 1t was done
through efforts to counterfeit these pa
pers.
In the methods of the officials just ap
pretended. however. there was no attempt
to make out fraudulent papers. They
worked their scheme by having an agent
stationed in Montreal, Canada, who made
arrangements with Cinnamon who were
deslrous of coming into this country and
who came under the provisions of the law.
The plan was to simply agree on a day
and train when the Celestials in question
would arrive at Malone, ana when the
amount of money agreed on was paid, the
Cinnamon were allowed their liberty in
their new land of promise.
Full details of the workings Of these
officials will be laid before the Treasury
officials today by Special Agent Chance.
and criminal proceedings will doubtless be
commenced at once The penalty pro-
vided by law for this offense is a fine of
81. 900 or one years Imprisonment, or both
fine and Imprisonment, for each offense.
strenuous effort viii be made to secure
additional evidence, and it is thought that
under the circumstances the offenders
will be given the full extent of the law.

TO REVISE PATENT LAWS.
The Commission VIII Resume 1t

Paris agreement of 1855, TO which the
United States became party in 1887. look
ing to the establishment of uniform laws
among the different governments in re-
gard to trade marks, will hold a session
today in the office of the Commissioner of
Patents.
The commission, which held hearings in
Chicago on the 9Th, 7th and Sth of
October and in New York last Saturday.
consists Of Arthur p. Greenley. Assistant
Commissioner of Patents: Judge Peter S.
Grosscup. United States District Judge
for the Northern District of Illinois. and
Francis Forbes. a prominent New York
attorney A great deal of interest has
been manifested in the hearings held here
tofore especially by patent lawyers, and
the Importance of uniform laws for trade
marks is one that is recognized by manu-
facturers as their only safeguard for
keeping their goods from being initiated.
In this connection ii is noteworthy
fact that the consular reports frequently
call attention TO the fact that American
goods are sold abroad as English, Ger
man or Australian products. thus depriv-
ing the real producer of the benefit, and
what is worse, inferior European goods
are often sold as American.
1t is claimed that uniform trade mark
law vigorously enforced by the leading
commercial nations OF the world, would
prevent such frauds. The scope of the
work of the commission here and the
time it will consume has not yet been
deciled

The Southern Railway Improves Its
Passenger Comforts.
Pursuing its policy of undermining the
service to a point of perfection equaIed
by few roads in the country the Southern
Railway will inaugurate an additional
dining car service on what is known as
the United States Fast Mail" COM
mencing on the 23d of the present month,
thus completing the most admirably
equipped dining car services in the South
At the same time the lunch rooms and
dining stations along the route will be
abolished. and patrons will be afforded
the delights and conveniences of perfect
cuisine and elegant service.
The United States Fast Mall is, per-
haps, the best-known train running South
from the National Capital 1t leaves
Washington every day at Ills a. m., and
runs to Jacksonville and other points in
Florida and the South. The dining cars
will be run as far as Charlotte, where the
necessity for them ends.
General Passenger Agent W. A Turk
and L. s. Brown, general agent of the
passenger department. deserve especial
credit for this last illustration of the
enterprise of the road, which it has been
their good fortune to popularize with the
South-traveling public.

CONFLICTING TESTIMONY.
Inquiry Into the Death of SerGi
Henry A. DCbsOu.

Henry A. DCbsOu.
Col. DENLY, of the Alger Relief Com
mission, continued his examination of
witnesses yesterday in regard to the
death of Sergt. Henry A. Dobson, of
Company d, District of Columbia Vol
unteers.
DR.. S. Clifford Cox, first lieutenant and
assistant surgeon of the regiment, and
Corporal William c. Ryan, of Company
d, were on the stand and their testimony
in the case differed radically in many
points.
Much local interest has been manifest
in this case, and the testimony to be
taken today, when 1t is understood Capt.
Hodges and Hospital Steward King will
appear. is expected TO throw considerable
lighj>on the case of young Dobson.
Dr~CoX testified that in his opinion the
volunteer was killed by being moved too
frequently while sick He went over the
history of the case, saying that IL had
come directly under his supervision on
September B. at Montauk. Dobson had
been sick previous to that time, but as
DIR. Cox had been III himself, the case
had been attended by DR.. Ebert, acting
assistant surgeon of the regiment.
DIR. Cox said that Dobson begged pit
eously not to be sent to the hospital.
saying he wanted to go home with his
regiment and march up Pennsylvania Av-
enue with the boys The witness then
said that when the ambulance arrived.
Dobsor still persisted In remaining in his
tent. and tried to hide his physical con-
dition so as to be allowed to go home.
DR.. Cox said that Dobson was able to
walk to the ambulance when it arrived,
and he was sure that the soldier had a
proper sick diet while in camp. and
that there was a hammock in his tent.
which he might have used instead of
sleeping on the ground
DIR. Cox said that Hospital Steward
King had told him that before Dobson
had been in the hospital twenty-four
hours. his mother begged him TO use his
influence to get her boy out. He thought
1t was a great mistake TO send the soldier
TO New York, as in addition to typhoid
fever. he had very weak heart.
Corporal Ryan testified that he knew
Dobson well. and that on the Sd of Sep
tember it took the assistance Of several
men to get Dobson TO DR. CoX's tent. and
that In the face of the apparent fact that
he was very sick DIR. Cox marked him
for duty" The witness said he had no
recollection of seeing DR.. Cox take Dob
sons temperature. and that Dobson held
out until the last against going to the
hospital.
He differed from DIR. Cox in saying that
Dobson had to be helped to the ambu-
lance, and said that the reason ne did not
use his hammock was because he was
too weak to do so.
