the Southern Pacific system. 1t is
also reported that they will move
with all haste in carrying out the
plans of the late c. P. Huntington

some. Work on the c. P division,
in the way of repairs, cutting out
curves, grades, ETC., is progressing
as rapidly as possible, and in a
couple of years this line may be
double-tracked. Larger cars and
engines will be used, ninety pound
steel rails put down, and the road
made to compare in the way of
easy running and fast time with
the eastern roads. All this will be
good for Nevada, and the chances
are good for the main line to cut
through Lyon County, which will

TREASURY Department officials
are astounded at the news from
Philadelphia that the Sugar Trust,
importing sugar at that port, had
defrauded the Government during
the last four years of duties on its
importations amounting to $1,000,
900. So far as the officials at
Washington are informed, this
stupendous fraudulent transaction
appears to be local to Philadelphia,
The trusts do not seem to have
protection enough yet.

THE Democratic and Silver
Party State Central Committees
denounce as false, exaggerated and
malicious the article published by
P. L. Flanagan in supplement to
the Reno Gazette of Wednesday,
October 31st, and characterize it
as one of those eleventh hour pro-
auctions gotten out in the last days
of the campaign to influence voters
in remote parts of the State who
cannot be reached with a reply
before election day. This is an
old trick of the opposition forces.
1t was tried two years ago under
their direction. More of these cir
culars may be looked for as one of
the combine stated in Elko last
week that one would be issued in
the closing hours of the campaign
with the purpose of injuring Mr..
Newlands. Voters are warned
against placing any reliance in
such canards, as their intent is
obvious. ...

the CHINESE PERIL AGAIN CLOSE AT HAND

The Chinese Exclusion Act will
expire by limitation on May S,
1902.
1t is vital to the interests of the
Pacific Coast that the Act should
be renewed by Congress.
The Administration is seemingly
not in favor of its re-enactment.
In fact, the leaders of the Han
Mates evidently want the Chinese
to continue to come, as they think
the East is in favor thereof.
1t was but the other day that
one of Harper's publications edi-
torially glorifed in the approach
ing expiration of the Act, as then
the East could get plenty of cheap
labor and good servants.
When questioned as to what the
Republican party would do on this
subject in case it got into power
again, Hanna said:
lido NOT REGARD 1T AS MATERI-
AL TO THIS CAMPAIGN, AND DON'T
CARE TO SAY ANYTHING UPON THE
SUBJECT.
The laborers of the Pacific Coast
should remember that remark and
vote accordingly. . ~
If of no consequence to Mark A.
Hanna, the question is one of life
and death to the laboring classes
of the Pacific Coast.-Sae. Bee.

With Fruitless Balloting.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
PORT TOWNSEND, Aug. H--After ad-
journing over Sunday from being in ses-
sion since Monday of last week. the Re-
publican joint judicial convention of JEFF
ferson, Island and Clallam reconvened here
yesterday morning and resumed the diff
cult task of trying to agree upon a candi-
date for that place on the Republican
ticket. No result was attained. nor was
conclusion reached. even today, when
the entire time was put IN balloting. The
total OF ballots taken Is Sos, without any
final change from the first.
The only thing 10 relieve the monotony
Is the scheme adopted by the outside dele
cations of switching every third ballot
from McClinton to Hatch. The Clallam
vote is represented by Mr.. Burnside and
Mr.. Church, the latter secretary Of the
convention. Island county has two prox-
les present, represented by Mr.. Coates. a
Coupeville merchant, who is the third re-
lay sent from there.
Clallam has one proxy from Island. and
Mr.. Gnagey, of the Felger forces, sup
porting the Jefferson county, candidate,
has the other. The Clallam delegation Is
here with the avowed intention Of remain
ing all summer. II that time is necessary
to land their candidate. .The delegation
from Jefferson, being instructed from a
convention, cannot possibly change. so
there is no conclusion but that the dead
lock will be interminable.
