WILL MAKE A TEST CASE.
Steamship Company Refuses to Pay
Tax on Aliens.

San Francisco, April 1.-THE new
immigration law, imposing head tax
of 50 on all aliens coming into this
country, is. causing trouble for the To-
cal immigration bureau. The Oceanic
Steamship company refuses point
blank to pay the tax and Commissioner
of immigration North thereupon made
a ruling that no alien passengers
should be landed from ship in this
port until the tax has been first paid
by the steamship company bringing
such aliens.
The steamship companies claim that
the new law is in conflict with the
regulation of the immigration bureau
requiring the payment of deposit on
aliens, which, they say, is virtually
paying the tax. A test case will prob
ably be made.

INVITE GOVERNOR DAVIS.

A petition to Governor Davis is being circulated for signatures asking his excellency to visit Newport in the very near future and deliver an ad- dress to the voters.
 The petition recites that the news papers of the state have given but one side of the legislative proceed ings and that the signers have noted the way in which the dear governor has been dealt with by the legislature, as we'll as by the attorney general and newspaper delegation.
 It is reflection upon the intelli- gence of the people to assert that but one side of the controversy has been printed and tends to create an unjust prejudice upon the part of the people toward the newspapers. The papers of the state have right to the ex- pression of their views just as the in- dividual does and the acts of any public official are very properly the subject of either adverse or favorable criticism.
 Seldom, however, does it fall to the province of newspaper to publish the facts of an investigation which shows up the character of one who has been honored with the governors chair of a great state. And because such a duty calls for the making pulp 1 lie of facts under which this high official winces, his ieutenants, not being able to throttle free press, seek to make it appear that the pa pers are one- sided.
 It is the truth which has hurt and because the facts as published cannot be controverted, the friends of Jeff seek to discredit the means through which the facts have been transmit- ted to the people.

ASSASSINATION RESULTS
 FROM ARKANSAS FEUD
Prominent Citizen of Union County Shot by Unknown Man Blood hounds Sent Reward to
 be Offered.

El Dorado, July 6.-The news reached here this morning about 9:30 of the assassination of w. H. Lee by an unknown party, at his home near Lisbon, twelve miles west of here, about sunrise. Mr. Holbert, his near neighbor, heard the report of rife and then the screams of Mrs. Lee, and rushed to the scene at once. He found Lee where he had fallen on his hands and knees, dead. He immedi- ately started for Fl Dorado and noti- fled the sheriff of the assassination.
 As soon as the news reached here the sheriff got in communication with the sheriff of Jefferson county, at Pine Bluff, and special train was se- cured, leaving Pine Bluff at 12 o'clock, bearing the sheriff and his posse, in charge of bloodhounds.
 It is thought that large reward will be offered by the citizens of the county, and the governor will be asked to offer reward for the cap ture of the assassin who committed the deed.
 MT. Lee leaves a wife and several children, as we'll as large circle of relatives and friends, to mourn his untimely end. He was good man, and by his death Union county loses one of her best citizens, one who has always been identified with the best interests of the county.
 It is believed the assassination was caused by the feud which has existed in this county for years and which has caused the death of many people.
