DENIES CHINESE

Treasury Department Refuses
to Interfere in the
Matter.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-In the cases
of eighty or more Chinese who recently
arrived at San Francisco en- route to Mex
leo, and who were refused permission TO
proceed by the immigration authorities at
San Francisco on the ground that their
ultimate purpose was to cross the MeXi-
can frontier into the United States con-
trary to law, the Treasury Department
will instruct the Collector that the So
licitor of the Treasury has held that there
is no appeal to the department in such
cases, and therefore his adverse action
will stand. The matter was referred to
the Attorney General, who declines to
give an opinion, on the ground that the
cases are now before the courts. The de-
partment has taken a firm stand against
permitting Cinnamon to cross the United
States into Mexico, as investigation has
disclosed the fact that nearly all of them
recross the border into this country. The
long border line makes it almost impossi-
BILE to so patrol the territory as to pre-
vent this, and the officials purpose to see
what virtue there may be in refusing
them permission to land on American soil

Last week there were two attempts to set

Last night, while Newell and two others
were keeping watch, the flrebug sneaked
up and started a fire under the kitchen.
Some old pieces of carpet and two or
three night robes saturated with coal oil
had been placed under the woodwork and
set ablaze. The flames were quickly eX-
tinguished. The firebug was not seen

VICIOUS BUCK
HOLDS BRIDGE
Escaped PetDeer Creates
Excitement in
SonOma.
Man Attacked by the Animal
Escapes by Leaping
Into a Boat.
Special plspatch to The can.

SANTA ROSA, Nov. 16.-A vicious buck
took possession of the drawbridge at
Sonoma yesterday and when the bridge
tender attempted to raise the draw the
animal decided to dispute his right. For
a time the deer had everything his own
way and supplied considerable excitement.
The bridge is across Sonoma creek and
is owned by the California Northwestern
railroad. The buck was a four-pointer
and had escaped from Victor Sartori'S $
place in Fairville. Bridge Tender Peter
Helm was called upon to raise the draw to
enable schooner to pass, but the buck
was in the middle of the structure. When
Helm approached, the animal charged him
with lowered antlers. BY dropping into
boat under the bridge Helm escaped the
deer.
The owner of the buck arrived later and
after an exciting time the animal was re-
captured. 1t is an extremely vicious buck
and two men have been badly injured by
it, one being nearly killed.

Strength of the Army.

The total enlistment in the continental
or so-callcd regular forces amounted from
ITS to 1888 to total of 231. 791 The aver
age enlistments were about 25 900 per an
mum, as the service of each man was
usually less than year. The army was
discharged and renewed nine times over
during the progress of the struggle. In
addition to the continentals there was a
force of militia variously estimated al
from $4,000 to 100000.
1t is curious fact that we owe the es-
tablishment of a regular army, which
Washington was powerless to accomplish
to that hater OF military establishments,
Thomas Jefferson. Events forced him to
this, as it did to the establishment of the
military academy. No doubt his sympa-
thy with the popular hostility to per-
manent army made it easier for him to
obtain from Congress what he found him.
