customs, attention Is called to an opinion
Of the Acting Attorney General, in which
1t is held that there is nc authority in ex-
listing laws under which Consular officers
of China in foreign countries may issue
to Chinese subjects of exempt classes the
certificates prescribed by section of the
act approved July 8, 1894, relating to the
exclusion of Chinese.
Customs officers are instructed as fol-
lows: THE practice which has heretofore
obtained of accepting such Consular certi-
ficates will be discontinued and Chinese
subjects of the permitted classes coming
into the United States from China must
produce certificates from the government
of China and those coming from other for
eign countries, in which they are residents,
must produce. under the treaty of 1894, the
certificates of the governments OF such
countries and not certificates of Consular
and other subordinate officers of China.
All rules heretofore made in conflict with
the foregoing are hereby revoked"
The effect of this ruling will be to pro-
hibit the entry into this country OF tho
privileged classes except upon presentation
Of certificates issued by the imperial Chi
nese government. In view of the fact that
the government has never issued certif-
Gates of this character. 1t is believed that
comparatively few Chinese, even of the
exempt classes, will apply hereafter for
admission.

More Porto Rico Soldiers Set Sail for

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. 22.-(De-

There was a repetition of yesterdays
scene when the Asturias battalion of Span
ish troops marched to the wharf for en-
barkation. Captain-General Macias and
his staff reviewed the departing soldiers,
who babe a farewell to their sweethearts
and wives. Some of the soldiers wept pro-

pect to the affair AS the ship swung away
from the pier, the soldiers on board of her
raised a faint cheer and the women pro-
ceeded to the seawall where they stood for
hours waving their handkerchiefs until the
San Francisco was only spech on the
horizon.
The Spaniards, at the meetings Of tina
military commission. are raising many
| questions regarding the civil administra-
ton of the island and the disposition Of
public property, but the American commits
sioners refuse to discuss them as being be-
yond their jurisdiction. Our commissioners
are disposed to allow the Spaniards to car
ry off lot of useless old material rather

1t Is we'll known that 1t is the desire of the

and the information which Mr.. Angel will
be able 10 impart to the government would
be extremely valuable in an effort to COM

suit Of a mob riot and that. therefore, he Is
not responsible. Indeed, he has actually
told the European powers that instead of
making claims against him, he is entitled
to indemnity from them, because Europeans
shot at and killed Turkish soldiers from
their houses. One thing l would like to lay
stress on, and that is that our claims are
different from the European demands. The
Europeans suffered their damag es in mob
riot, but our claims for damages rest upon
a much stronger basis. The property of the
Americans was destroyed mot In general
riot, but by soldiers who We're put to guard

marked an old-time railroad man to a
reporter for the Topeka state Journal.
In the old days, say % years ago. all
the passenger conductor was required
to do was to place a rubber band around
"A bundle Of tickets he had collected and
send them to the Office. The cash col
lections on an average night run in
those days were large. because no tick
cts were sold after 6 o'clock y. m. the
hour when all ticket offices closed. The
cash collection on a train often amount
ed To 5000 in ms night. The conductor,
at the end of a round trip. would taxi
this money to the cashiers window, and
would write a report on a sheet of pa
per that would read something like
this: Dear sir: Please find inclosed
$500 for cash collections on trains Nos. 5
and 8, December IS. 1860 The con-
ductor did not even take a receipt from
the cashier. All the cashier did war to
smile and say. Good morning
But a passenger conductor to-day
has more trouble sometimes than a boy
fighting a yellow Jackets nest. Red
tape has been piling around him for
years, until to-day ne spends about all
his time in punching mysterious holes
in tickets, writing duplicate checks and
making out tedious reports. The cou-
pom tickets are all bound around with
red tape. Cash collections cause an i'm
mense moun of tedious work to-day.
The conductor must now recount for
every cash fare collected by giving the
passenger a drawback, or else a dupli-
cate check in the presence of other pas
sengers at the time the fare is taken.
Then, too. the conductor has to sort all
kinds of tickets in station order and re-
turn them in hat manner fill out a
blank giving the umbe of each kind
of ticket lifted on the train. This re-
port must he sent in by the conductor
before going out on his next run There
fore, he is compelled to make out his re-
port as he goes from station to station,
and this means from one to two or more
hours hard work or the report alone
on a rum. 1t would take half a day for
me to give all the details of this red
tape. For instance. a certain number
of punches must be in a tickle of one
kind and a certain humble in another
style of ticket. If one punch mark is
not made the conductor receives a let
ter calling his attention to the discrep-
ancy n he is liable to be suspended If
IL occurs again."
