A recent dispatch from Topeka says
that Judge Lobdell will hold court in
January in this district no matter
what Judge Andrews may do. This
would seem to indicate that Lobdell
expects Judge Andrews to endeavOrtO
hold on until the courts have decided
as to who is entitled to act. Judge
Thon,pson also says that he proposes
to hold on to his job until his success sor
is elected. This would all seem to In
dictate that the death like stiffness that
has pervaded the political atmosphere
since the republicans sandbaged US
was to receive a rude shock and that
the worm was about to turn having
been trOd on once too often. Our no.
tiOn is that the republican end OF the
supreme court has already passed on
this questi on and that the verdict of
the court is a foree one conclusion.
We hope the matter will be threshed
out in court even though this is the
case as it will give the people more
complete idea of just what partisan
court means and will incidently show
up some Of the rottouness of the last
Legislature. Things are in shape here
for d very interesting scraL if both
judges shOnldcOm for Judge Andrews
would naturally be supported by the
| fusion district clerk and Judge Lob
dell by the republican sheriff. Neither
Judge would be able to do business
and things would come to deadlock.
The probabilities are that court will
adjourn until after the decision of the
court as litigants will hardly care to
| jeopordize their cases by trying them
| in court where it is undecided who
| is Judge

CHINESE STRUGGLED IN.
Said to Be Brought bv Wholesale From
British Columbia.

San Francisco, Aug. 15.-Discov-
cries have just been made which are
believed to establish conclusively that
wholesale smuggling Of Chinese from
British Columbia into the United
States through Santa Barbara has
been carried on. The revenue officials
were notified several weeks ago, and
for three weeks the revenue cutter
McCulloch has been cruising in the
waters OF Santa Barbara channel in
search of evidence.
The smuggling scheme is outlined
as follows: Lumber laden vessels
leave Puget sound for Southern Cali
fornia points, and after getting we'll
out to sea run over to Vancouver
island and pick up Chinese, who are
ostensibly shipped as part OF the crew.
Some of these vessels put in at Port
Hartford, San Pedro and other points
with crews more than twice as large
as necessary. When sailing for the
north the crews consist almost ex.
clusively OF white sailors.
Another method adopted is the
landing of Chinese on one of the
islands. in the channel, and they are
then brought into Santa Barbara as
abalone fishermen. Just what dis
coveries have been made by the off,
GERS Of the revenl cutter are not
known, but they have been placed
in the possession OF important in
formation by the local officers and
are now following up clews fur
nished by secret service agents. 1t is
said that the evidence has been OBJ
tanned that opium has also been
struggled into Southern California.
