CELESTIALS ARE BARRED.
Gen. Otis Applies the Chinese Exclu.
sion Act 10 the Philippine Islands.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The state de-
partment has been informed through
n diplomatic channel that Gen. Otis
has applied the Chinese exclusion laws
to the Philippines. The information
was a surprise to the authorities here,
both state and military. as the matter
has been under consideration for some
time and it was not known that Gen.
Otis had put the exclusion law into
force.
The first intimation in that dircc
ton came in a diSDatch received Il few
days ago from the Chinese consul at
Manila, telling the Chinese legation
here that the exclusion law against
Chinese had been applied to the Philip
pines.
The state department knew nothing
Of such an exclusion, and made in
Ouiry of the war department. The
military authorities. however, We're
equally without information as to
Gen. Otis course. Accordingly the
Chinese officials We're advised that any
action taken by Gen. Otis in applying
the exclusion laws to the Philippines
was not the result of instructions sent
from here. but was doubtless due to
an exercise of his authority as cover
nor general of the Philippines. What
further step the Chinese authorities
will take has not been determined.
In this connection the state depart
ment has received an important letter
from Mr.. Williams. our former cOnSrl
at Manila, who still remains there in
a confidential capacity. II" says the
native Filipinos are strongly opposed
to Chinese labor. and in .tis opinion
the exclusion of the Chinese from the
islands would aid in bringing the wal
to Il close. He places the Chinese
population at $1,000. which is cOnsid-
erably more than other estimates from
official sources.
The Chinese government has shown
more anxiety as to the course OF This
government toward the Chinese in the
Philippines than towards those in
Cuba or other parts of the world,
mainly because the Philippines are SC

A REMARKABLE REPORT.
Medical Director Of n State Insane
Asylum IL Alleged 40 Have Led a
Life Of Crime and immortality.

San Francisco, Aug. 24.-The state
board of lunacy commissioners met
here Wednesday to hear the report Of
Gov. Gage on the result of the iuvesti-
gItfons of the board into the condi
f1ons existing at the Agnew asylum
for the insane. situated near San Jose,
Santa Clara county. Gov. Cages re.
port is doubtless one of the most start
lEg papers of its kind ever presented
to a similar board for its considera-
ton. 1t is based principally on the
career of DR.. Sponagle, medical direc-
tor of the asylum, previous to his in
stallation as such. AS a result of the
investigation DR.. Sponagle and two as
sistants, Drs. Stocking and CRYSTAL,
have been removed, the assistants not
being charged with anything more
grave than incompetency.
The investigation of affairs at Ag
new was the direct result of the birth
of child to one of the patients. SEN
sational charges were made and the
investigation followed. Gov. Gage in
cluded in his report the testimony of
reputable people tending to show that
Sponagle's career was one of gross
immortality and crime. Gov. Gage as
serts that in 1892, while Sponagle was
q resident of Fresno, in this state. he
was accused of trying to defraud a
Philadelphia insurance company,
whose medical examiner he was. out
of 10000, with the assistance of
Mrs. Skinner. whose husband was dy-
ing of consumption. The consump-
tive's life was insured and shortly
a tat thn fret 1,,aiIa1 To
Philadelphia he died. Suspicion arose.
The insurance company made an in
vcstigation and succeeded in getting
confession from Mrs. Skinner showing
that a conspiracy existed. The mat
ter was dropped on Mrs. Sl<inner's
promise to turn states evidence if
necessary.
The governor SAYS that Sponagle
was accused of criminally assaulting
a woman patient. The charges, while
almost conclusive. did not result in
anything and Sponagle left Fresno the
night after the charges had been dis
missed. Gov. Gage further asserts
that DR., Sponagle was also accused, at
one time, of having murdered a Mr..
Thurman, to whom he owed money,
and that several women patients of
DR.. Sponagle have made charges of
serious nature against Sponagle. who
was attending them professionally.
The report of the governor is of such
n character that it is unprintable. but
shows Sponagle up in even II worse
light than the foregoing. The lunacX
commissioners adopted the report and
ordered the dismissal of Sponagle.
Stocking and CRYSTAL. DR.. j. II. Crane,
of Santa Ana, Cal. was appointed tn
succeed Sponagle as medical director
of the asylum.

FLOOD OF PROSPERITY.
The Good Times Have Made the DE M
ocrnts Cease Their Calamity
HOwIinK.

Among the many indications of pros
perity none are more remarkable than
the car famine on the eastern and mid
western railroads. For two years the
output of new cars has been prodigious,
and yet there are not nearly enough
to handle the freight. The sumner
wheat crop, it should be understood
has not yet begun to move, nor are
corn, potatoes, apples, hops and the
other staple crops of the area mentioned
ready for shipment. So the glut of
traffic is mainly caused by shipments
of manufactured articles. The call for
these is larger than has ever before
been the case in the history of the coun-
try, particularly for manufactures nf
iron, and despite an increase of price
along some lines we cannot see any
signs of an abatement in the volume
of demand. People who have lately
visited the east speak of the condition
of business there as surprising any
thing that was promised even in the
most sanguinc speeches of the Mckin-
ley orators three years ago. The strikes
that are happening among railroad men
are none of them against reduction
of wages, but are carried on either for
the sake of a fairer ratio of pay toward
the new business done or in protest
against the overwork which follows an
effort to keep up with orders or to get
relief from a congested demand upon
manufacturing facilities. They do not
alter the fact that money was never
H., Il do
mand so great. On the contrary, they
emphasize it.
When the commercial uplift first
brought the country out of the slough
of despond into whieh the German
Wilson bill had plunged it the demo-
cratic fashion was to account for pros
perity by the prices realized for wheat
owing to the failure of the crop in
India and other places on the globe.
No such explanation is possible now,
and that is the reason the democratic
journals have dropped the prosperity
discussion. They never allude to bet
ter times, except in their atfidavits of
circulation and advertising, but are do
ing their best to raise issues against the
administration which will cause the
people to forget what they owe to it.
But the task is bound to prove too
great for partisan ingenuity. What
ever views the workingman may hold
on the subject of imperialism" he
knows when he is well off and is quite
capable of voting to keep himself in
that comfortable situation as long as
he can.-San Francisco Chronicle.
