MORE TROUBLE FOR CHINESE.
Restriction Act Bar. Them Out a.
HRwuii

Honolulu, Jan. :, via San Francisco, IAN.
1s.-Chinese cannot land in Hawaii eX
cept under the conditions of the United
States restriction act. This decision was
handed down yesterday by the Supreme
Court in the second Chinese habeas corpus
case and is a reversal OF the decision of
Chief Justice Judd in the case heard three
weeks ago.
Previous to July last. many Chinese
labOrers and others obtained permission
from the Hawaiian government authorizing
them to leave the islands and return with
in q certain time. About December ! GER
tain OF them returned and were refused
landing under instructions from the Treas
ury Department, the permits being ignored.
4 writ of habeas corpus was sued out on
behalf OF the Chinese and Chief Justice
Judd held that the permits being acts Of
the sovereignty existing at the time they
were issued, must be binding on the SOW
ereignty that succeeded it. Accordingly,
the petitioners were allowed TO land. On
December another lot arrived on the
Gaelic and, being refused a landing, an
appeal was taken TO the Supreme Court
with the result that the United States re-
striction act Is held TO be operative against
Chinese immigration.

WANTS TO COMPROMISE.


Senator Hoar yesterday introduced
resolution in the Senate by which he hopes
TO affect a compromise on the Philippine
question between the eXpansionists and the
ants, by injecting a declaration some
where in the proceedings that the United
States does not intend 10 keep the islands,
but simply 10 guarantee their independ-
ence. The resolution reads as follows:
Resolved, That the people OF the Philippine
Islands OF right ought be free and independent;
that they absOlvcd from all allegiance to the
Spanish crown, and that all political connection
between them and Spain l. and ought 10 be
totally dissolved, and that they have, therefore,
full power do all acts and things which indie
pendent states may OF right do; that II Is their
right institute government for them
selves laying its foundation such principles
and organizing its powers in such form as TO them
shall seem most likely to effect their safety and
happiness; and that with these rights the people
OF the United States do not propose 10 Interfere
After the resolution had been read by
the clerk, Mr.. Hoar asked for its imme-
diate consideration. Mr.. Davis, Chairman
of the Foreign Relations Committee, i'm
mediately arose and settled the fate of
the resolution until Monday, at least, by
simply saying Mr. President, ! object

NEW YORK POLICE AFFAIRS.
General Andrews, 1t Is Said, VIII BE
Placed in Charge.

New York, Jan. 14.-Legislators just
back from Albany and politicians generally
are talking of mooted changes in police
affairs in this city. 1t is almost certain
that the bipartisan police act will be
amended so that the department will have
but one head. Gen. A. ID. Andrews. now
on Governor Roosevelt's staff, is slated for
this position. John McCullagh. former
chief OF police, will, in all probability, be
returned to his old post, succeeding
Chief Devery.
The Tammany administration under
Mayor Van Wyck is not so popular just
now as ii has been. Re;S estate assess
ments have been enormously increased
the tax rate has jumped from S2.01 to 81 &C
and meantime wholesale raise of salaries
IN city departments has been made. This
increase 10 date aggregates 1875 900. There
is talk of legislative inquiry.

CIVIL SERVICE REFoRMERs.
Pleading to Have the Census Bureau
Free From Politics.


Several representatives of the National
Civil Service Reform League appeared be-
fore the House Committee on Census yes
terday to explain to that body the reasons
why they wished the rules of the classified
service extended over the Twelfth Gen.
sus, bill for the taking OF which is now
being prepared by the committee.
All the members of the committee were
present except Mr.. Babcock, who is away
from the city. The reform delegates were
from this city, from Baltimore and from
Philadelphia.
f. L. Siddons. of Washington, was the
first TO address the committee. He said
that the league recognized the practical
difficulty of applying the civil service
rules TO the selection of enumerators who
were employed only for a, short time at
small salary. He thought, however, that
if the supervisors were appointed by civil
service they might appoint the enumera-
tors under them without examination,
but with the advice of the director. he
urged that the clerks and special agents
be selected from the lists Of eligibles nov
existing in the civil service commission in
this city, and objected strongly to an in
dependent bureau. Further, he wished
the bureau made permanent.
William Reynolds, of Baltimore, said
that he thought that it was necessary TO
have the census under the civil service
rules in order TO have II secure the conf
dence OF the country. If this were not
done the best results could be secured by
letting one party appoint everybody and
holding that party responsible. Bi-par-
tisanship simply meant division of the
spoils.
R. F. Wood, of Philadelphia, reiterated
the statements Of the two preceding wit
nesses, except that he said that he had
. not considered the question Of an indie
pendent bureau.
II is possible, though hardly probable,
that the suggestions of the delegation
will be adopted. The methods employed
in selecting clerks for taking the last
census was a crying shame to the coun-
try and to Washington, and was always
on the verge of scandal. K. =. Porter, its
director. said afterward that civil service
rules would have caused great improve
ment. So many mistakes were made that
! bureau of errors with seventy clerks had
! to be organized to correct it, only leaving
/ it to be discovered that many of the
! clerks on this bureau were themselves
4 incompetent.
1t is not believed that Congress is like
! ly to concede anything to the civil service
! that II can retain.

A Musical Treat.

St. Anne's p. L. Church was we'll fill
ed last night with lovers Of good music
Among the audience were a number OF
professional musicians of the town Pre-
vious to the organ recital, short service
of PRAYER was conducted and an ofertory
taken to promote the mission work of the
Bishops Guild, under whose auspices,
the musical entertainments will be offer
ed to the citizens of Annapolis during the
winter.
The initial entertainment last night was
a great success. The organist was Mr..
Wolfe, OF Grace Church, Baltimore.
whose selections for the evening we're of
a classical order. and showed off the
strength and sweetness OF ST. Anne's
organ to the best advantage. Mr..
Wolfe is a skilled musician and an artist.
Miss Snyder, one of the vocalsts OF the
evening, was unable to be present be-
cause of illness. Miss Combs, the vo-
calist of the evening sang in charming
manner, rendering with Verdure Clad"
from the creation. with much sweetness,
and expression. Miss Combs has a we'll
trained voice, and knows how to use il.
Her tones are round and clear, and her
high tones are as sweet and well modulat-
ed as her low ones.
The organ recital was quite success
and it is hoped the Bishops Guild will
soon give the second Of these recitals.
