PERMITTED TO LAND.
Judge Bellinger Rules in Favor of
Gin Euug.

PORTLAND (Or), Aug. 13.-In the
United States District Court to-day
Judge Bellinger confirmed the report
Of Referee Deady in the case of Gin
Fung, who was not allowed to land by
Collector Black, holding that the court
has the right 20 go behind the decis-
ion of the Collector of Customs in a
Chinese deportation case to ascertain
if the Collector has conducted proper
inquiry regarding the right of the per-
son to land
1t was determined that the examina-
ton by Collector Black was not con-
Quoted according to law, and Gin Flung
was therefore permitted to land
The decision in this case is new pro-
ceeding, and the first one brought un-
der the Act of Congress approved Au-
gust Is, 1894 which made Collectors
of Customs the sole judge of the right
of a Chinese or alien to enter the United
States, cutting off the right of revenue
by the courts.

PHILIPPINE EXPEDITIONS.
Gen. Merriam Ccuntermands Order
for Embarkation of Troops.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.-Unwill-
ing TO assume the responsibility of send
ing more men to the Philippines, in
view Of the signing Of the protocol,
General Merriam tonight indefinitely
suspended his order for the embarka
ton of troops on the steamer Arizona
tomorrow. He has notified the War
Department of the position he has TAX
en-, and has asked that his attitude be
Immediately approved or disapprOved.
The absence of definite instructions
from Washington is construed to mean
that the War Department is in doubt
about the propriety of sending more
troops to Manila at this time.
Six hundred Of the New York Regi-
ment will proceed to Honolulu, as ar
ranged, but neither the 1,636 who were
to have gone on board the Arizona to-
morrow, nor the Seventh California,
which was to have embarked on the
Scandia on Thursday, will leave camp
