SAM HONANG. TOO.

New York, Sept 5.--Sam Honang a
British subject, who Ia said to be one of
the wealthiest residents of the Island
of Demerara, Is held aboard the steam
ship Grenada of the Trinidad line, and
denied landing in this country by the
immigration inspectors, on the ground
that II would be violation OF the Chi
nese exclusion act,
Honang, who owns one OF the largest
cocoa plantations on the island, decided
a few weeks ago that he would take a
trip through the United States and Eu-
rope. Letters of Introduction to pom
inent and wealthy persons all over the
world were forwarded by his cores
pondents and he set out on his voyage.
Honang never has been In China. He
was born In Demerara of Chinese pa
rents They were both British sub
jects, so that the Chinese exclusion act
did not figure I'm his plans.
When the ship reached her dock at
Long Island City, the immigration in
spectors held up the traveller, who fin
ally called upon friends In New York
for aid. The inspectors would not re-
lease him, however, and the papers to-
gether with Honang's passport, were
forwarded To the authorities at Wash
ington.
The vessel soon will be ready for her
return passage. and IL is a question
whether the planter will be landed on
Ellis Island pending the decision from
Washington or whether the captain of
the Grenada, who II responsible for his
passenger under the terms OF the ex-
clusion act, win have to take him back
TO Demerara.

made IN reporting social functions to
which no representative of the paper

such unjust criticism are timely and we'll
taken. 1t Ia not to be expected that .
representative Of the newspaper shall be
invited to every social function. When
the paper is represented, there ia gener-
ally no good excuse for mistakes and
when the paper IL not represented, in
justice to the paper and to insuiea cor.

quick to criticise mistakes IN the paper
should not be so very modest a. to hesi-

flee ut least statement of the facts
from which report is to be written. II
no aid ;s volunteered the paper IN sscur-

be passed upon 1t for mistakes. A coun
try editor is generally supposed to be
quite skillful in guessing at the inior-
nation which he fails to secure for re-
port OF social function but 1t is not al
ways safe to bank on that proposition
