SICKNESS A
GOOD EXCUSE
Chinese Who Overstay Years
Leave May Reenter on Ger
tidcate Of Local Consul.

Assistant Caired States Attorney
Dunno received a very important rul-
Ing yesterday by Attorney General
Knox regarding TIE admission of Chi
nese who ove"stay their leave from the
United States, of one year. The at
torney general holds that sickness is
a sufficient excuse, and that a certifi-
cate from the United States consular
representative at the port of departure
is not necessary.
In the decision, which relates to a
San Francisco case, it is held that ar
ticle II of the treaty between the Unit
ed States and China, ratified Decem-
ber 5, 1894. sets aside section of the
act approved September 13, 1888, and
that Chinese laborers who have re-
manned absent from the United States
in excess of one year, and who are
otherwise lawfully entitled 70 readmis =
sion, and present certificate OF the Chi
nese consular officer in this country
showing that such excessive absence
was occasioned by sickness or other
cause of disability beyond control of
the applicant, are entitled to re-entry'
without furnishing certificate of the
United States consular representative
at the port of departure from China.
In conclusion it is said in the opin-
ion:
| do not undertake now TO say that
there are no portions of the act which
are not in force. but the current doubt
whether it is at all operative has an
important bearing upon the present in
quiry. For the language of section 4,
the act of 1888 is followed so substan-
TALLY in article of the treaty of 1894,
and yet with such express variation as
to the feature before US, that We are
impelled to conclude that Congress de-
liberated upon the very point, and
clearly determined it by establishing
that variation instead of the rule or
the act. l therefore hold that article
II of the treaty has thus far replaced
and abrogates section of the act, and
so answer your question. Very re-
spectfully, T. Z. hNC'A'
Attorney General.

Curious Actions of Two Sono-
ma Passengers Last Night
Excited Curiosity.

On board the Sonoma, from San
Francisco to the Colonies, were a man
and woman who on the trip to Homo
lulu attracted much attention The
lady was a tall stately brunette of per-
haps twenty-five years, and her com
panion, who passed as her brother,
looked a few years older and had a
distinguished bearing.
Last night about II o'clock the pair
were seen to pass down King street,
proceeding in a Waikiki directions The
man walked first, followed at an in
terval of about ten yards, by the WON
an. who acted as though she were in
a trance or under the influence of some
hypnotic power. Her body was held
rigidly, and one arm was carried in
fixed position at an angle OF about
thirty degrees from the body She
walked straight into posts and other
obstacles as though blind, and only
aVerted a collision when such seemed
inevitable. At the corner of Fort and
King streets the woman stopped and
her escort, evidently perceiving this,
told her in a rough tone of voice 10

parently try to escape from her COM
panicn on their way back to the YES
sci, but in vain. When the boat was
finally reached the man waited at the
foot of the gangplauk until the wom-
an was safely on board.
When next seen the woman was
frantically searching the ship for the
man. She explored each deck, even
going so far as to make an examina-
tion of the staterooms. At last she
gave up the search in despair and de-
scended to the wharf

edge of the wharf for a while she drew

slowly raised it to her head. Then
suddenly she flung it from her into
the water and returned to the ship,
where she entered her stateroom and
was no more seen.

sonoma from three months vacation
on the mainland. during which time
he visited washington, New York, Bos-
ton. Quebec, Montreal, Minneapolis, re
turning to the coast on the Canadian
Pacific railway. He was accompanied
by Mrs. LoWrie, Miss Clara Lowrie and
Master Lowrie. Miss Lowrie is much
improved in health. They are register

main here until next Tuesday when
| they will leave for Maui. While in
Washington he made a visit To secre-
tary Wilson and had a fifteen minutes
chat with him about Hawaiian affairs.
Secretary Wilson is very much in
favor of beet sugar" said Mr.. LoWrie
yesterday evening. HE thinks that
within a few years that the machin-
cry for the cultivation of beets, will be
so far improved that the beet sugar men
will be able to raise it as easily and as
cheaply as cane. With sugar coming
from the Philippines, Hawaii, Porto Ri
| o, Cuba, Louisiana and Texas and with
| the development in the production of
beet sugar, Mr.. Wilson thinks that the
| United States will be able to supply its
| own demands. without importing. He
! Is fostering the industry and will do all
he can to uphold 1t.
"E.. was under the impression from
! letters which had been sent him from
! here that the Hawaiian citizens and
| planters are opposed to the man he
sent out here to conduct the expert
nent station-Jared Smith hut 1 told
! him that was not so. told him the
| planters and agricultural men general
! ly, would be and were glad and willing
to assist Mr.. Smith in any way they
could. He was glad TO hear that his
impression was not correct. He is very
much In favor of diversified industries
in Hawaii, and he proposes to plant diff
ferent things and develop them--other
things besides sugar.
I'm San Francisco the only thing that
l found that was hurting the country
was the drouth on Hawaii and the labor
troubles we are having. The people
: were very eager to hear news Of an
abatement of the drouth. Hawaiian
stocks are down there, and nothing is
active on the market The knocking
off of the dividends had a bad effect on
the market there. and then the con
tinued news Of the drouth and the labor
troubles has caused buyers to be scary
Of our securities. l told the brokers the
drouth would not last and that In a
short time I believed the labor situation
would be improved.
There was a good deal Of talk about
the Chinese Exclusion Act Some said
1t would be re-enacted and soma said
it would not. All through California
they are in need of Iaborers. The far
mers would take Chinese, but the poll
tjcians are opposed to letting them in.
Il was told by Secretary Wilson that
the head of the Forestry division of the
Department of Agriculture was coming
to Hawaii shortly, to look over forest
matters. This is another feature in
which Mr.. Wilson is very much inter
ested, and he may come here next
spring to make a personal investiga-
ton"
