IN STATU QUO.
NO Action by the Administration On
the Chinese Question.

The Hawaiian Chinese question has
not yet been passed upon bv the adj
ministration at Washington.
Neither Mr.. Sewall nor Mr.. Brown
received any advices on the subject
from Washington. The only informa-
ton either of them have on the sub
Ject are the Washington dispatches in
the San Francisco papers. These
merely state that the Treasury De-
partment has received advices OF
Chief Justice Judd's habcas corpus de-
cision permitting the permit Chinese
to land, and that the subject has been
referred to the Department of Justice
for an opinion. upon which Attorney
General Griggs is at work. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Call. it is
true, says: lit is thought likely that
the Attorney General will uphold the
decision of the Hawaiian judge and
admit the Chinese" but this is So
clearly mere surmise that it cannot
be taken for anything else.

Author Of a Number of Libel
Letters

SANTA BARBARA. Dec. 1e.-Yda Ad-
dis Storke, whose charge OF attempting
10 murder was dismissed several days ago
and who is now serving a years sentence
in the County Jail, is again being care
fully watched by the jailer and the Sher-
iff's office. For some time complaints
have been made 10 the Sheriff by per-
sons who have received anonymous let
ters. charging them with the filthiest
things. Young girls have been accused
OF intimacy with men Of questionable
character, while heads Of families have
also received pretenses of warnings AL
most every one who has received one Of
these letters was in some way connected
directly or indirectly with the notorious
libelous letter case.
Mrs. Storke has been allowed TO send
and receive letters at will and none have
been tampered with by the Sherin's Of
flee. She has also written letters to per-
sons in this city. in which she accuses
the jailer and Sheriff with gross and Grim
inal negligence, stating that the male and
female prisoners have been allowed to re-
main in the same cell, and other offenses
These reports reached the Sherff's office
and a close watch has been kept on Mrs
Storke for some time. and it was I'm this
way that the officers were convinced that
she was again sending out hbelous let

filed against Ross Hansen by Hugh Glas-
sell was decided to-day by Judge Buck
les in favor OF the defendant The suit
involved the possession OF what is known
as Decker Island in the Sacramento
River.
The island has gradually been forming
IN the river since 1855. II is near the
west bank. and the property on that side
is owned by Glassell. the plaintiff in the
case. He never took direct possession of
the island. although he occasionally pas
tured some cattle on II and erected a few
wire fences. The island gradually in
creased I'm size until IL finally reached
the western shore and became apparently
a portion Of the plaintiffs property.
In lS77 the island was surveyed and sold
to Hansen as swamp or overflowed land
and for the last four or five years he has
regularly employed men 10 improve it,
On April 10 of this year Glassell filed an
custer and the case was bitterly fought
in the courts. with the result that the
decision was rendered in favor OF the de-
fendant The island now consists Of about
