THE CHINESE PERMITS.

The difficulty with regard to conflict
ing orders from the Treasury Depart
ment. which was alluded to in The
Star some days ago, has occurred.
Chinese who returned by the China are
held in quarantine though each has a
permit from the Federal Government
to land. They have. however, return
ed too late to register and in conse-
quence the internal revenue officials
are ordered to deport them. Mean
while while the customs officials and
the internal revenue officials disagree,
the unfortunate Chinese remain on
Quarantine Island. and it is a far cry
to Washington. If we only had a cable
a decision might be reached in a couple
of days or so.
The point made by the Treasury De-
partment that if the Chinese were not
the consequences. Says the Treasury,
any Chinese returning now to the Ter
ritory of Hawaii must have left after
June IA. 1900. This of course is true.
Then says the Treasury they had am
pie time to register. But they had not.
The registering outfit did not make its
appearance in the Territory before
February or March. Therefore be-
tween June Ia and the arrival of the
registering officers there was no oppOr-
tunity to register, and there is a neat
case for the courts. The weak point in
the Chinese case. according to the
Treasury, is that the Chinese should
have applied for registration, but it is
very doubtful if any Chinese who OBJ
tanned his permit knew anything about
the necessity of applying for registra-
| ton.
The position of Chinese is unfortun-
ate. They have no strong government
to take up their cause. The courts.
however, are open to them and there
will be quite an interesting series of
cases coming out of their compiled
ton.

Benjamin Adams of Yonkers, N. Y,

audibly when he heard the following
verdict; "The jury in the case of people

defendant Adams is not guilty and is
acquitted, and recommends that the
existing law in regard to the observ-
ance of the first day of the week (com-

amended that it will not interfere or
prohibit the innocent recreation of the
people on that day" This is a knock
for the Sunday law.

If there are to be two railroad lines
to the volcano, the volcano trip ought
to become more popular than ever. The
long drive deters many people still and
especially is this so from the Kau side,
where the road is very rough. If pas
sengers could be landed at Kailua, and
then taken by rail through Kona and
Kau to the Volcano, the route would
become very popular, for it would give
great variety of scenery and would
pass through some fine tracts of forest.

SUNDAY GOLFERS GO TO JAIL
Yonkers Blue Laws Enforced to the

New York, June 2.-The police Of Yonk-
ers, N. Y, have arrested Benjs-1in
Adams, member of the board of edu-
cation OF that place, on the charge Of
playing golf on Sunday.
The Sunday blue law crusade began
several weeks ago and has been pushed
by one side and opposed by another with
fierce energy. 1T was originally started
to stop Sunday base ball playing. pc

by Yonkers clergymen calling for strict
enforcement of the Sunday laws were re-
Gently presented
The commissioners ordered the police
to enforce the laws impartially, declaring
that golf playing on Sunday was as much
a crime as base ball. Fearing trouble,
the members of the golf club, posted
lookouts about their grounds, but as no
efforts were made by the police to inter-
fere with them, they supposed that they
would be exempt from arrest.
The signing of the petition by the min
listers provoked storm of Indignation
in many congregations Many church
members prominent in the affairs of the
city, served notice on their pastors that
they would sever their connection with
the churches unless ministers. withdrew
their signatures.

report that negotiations are being car

tween Gen. William Booth, founder of the
Salvation Army and his son Ballington,
who Is at the head Of the Volunteers Of
America, said:
THE information that comes from
Cleveland Is all news to me. I have heard
absolutely nothing about it before. It
may be possible that reconciliation is
about to be brought about between Bal

would be an entirely personal matter and
1t could happen without my knowledge.

American institution, the Volunteers be-

Commander Booth Tucker of the Sal

about discussing the negotiations for
reconciliation. He would neither affirm
nor deny the probability of reconcilia-

remarks indicated that he was familiar
with the efforts to patch up the
difficulties between the two organiza-

Washington, June 3.-Neither Russia
nor the United States will detail troops
to garrison the posts to be established by
the powers between Taku and Pekin.
Russia's determination to refrain from
maintaining troops upon the territory Of
a ne;ghboring empire is another indica-
ton other purpose to pursue to the end
the policy which she originally adopted.
The policy is absolutely in line with
that Of the United States, and in fact
from what can be learned it is the in
tention of Russia to act with this gov
eminent in future questions discussed
in Pekin. This attitude has given the
administration much satisfaction.
The points between Taku and Pekin
which will be garrisoned by the pow
ers, ostensibly to maintain safe egress
for the foreign misinsters in the capi-
tai, have not been finally determined.
though 1t seems to be understood that
troops will be stationed at Yang Tsung
and at one ether point near Tien Tsin.
The size of the garrisons also remain to
be established.
From what is known, 1t is the purpose
of Germany to distribute the brigade of
4OOO men now in Pekin among the Legal
lions in Pekin and the two posts which
will be established.
Great Britain and France, the latter
of which originally made the proposal
for the garrison, will also have troops in
the garrisons. Whether the Japanese
will be represented in the forces to stay
in China is not known.

The rare merits of Sag Harbor' as
an American play of the best type have
been SO widely celebra ted that it woulo
be superfluous to tell of them here or
enter at length into description of the
play. 1t is perhaps enough to say for
the benefit of those who have not kept
in touch with the career of this great
American play, that it has the charm
ing atmosphere of Shore Acres and
perhaps an even more interesting series
Of character pictures. The play is bright
with the sunny humor particular to Mr.
Herne's dramatic work and despite its
vein of serious and pathetic feeling,
proves a brilliant, effective comedy.
The main story involves the love Of two
brothers for an orphan girl, Martha
r 4ese. This compI cation IS developed
to a dramatic climax in the third act
sWnen Captain Dams timely intervention
ave-ts an imminent tragedy and turns
the current of aroused passion into
calmer channels.
