For some months past secret service
agents have been on the northwest
coast to discover, II possible, the man
ner in which many Chinese fraudulen-
tly entered the country. The investi-
cations which have been carried on are
bearing fruit and at Seattle, Tuc sday
y clever scheme was unearthed, A
Chinaman who came over on a Pacific
liner produced certified copy of court
proceedings ordering his admission to
the country but II was proven that the
proceedings We're had in the case o, an
other man, Attorney Frye, who had
charge of the governments case, stat
cd that during the past six months the
Chinese inspectors had been convinced
that the practice Of equlpping appli-
eants for admission with certified cop
les OF court proceedings wherein other
Chinese ha1 been ordered admitted was
being resorted to all over the coast. 1t
Is simple matter, he said, to secure
q certified copy of any court proceeding
by paying for the transcript, and this.
to which is attached photograph Of
the bogus applicant, proves any Chi
nese who presents himself for admis-
sion with 9rlma facle proof Of his right
to land. The discovery of the sub
terfuge win doubtless have the effect
OF excluding many applicants.

the vessel Of her danger. The ship
was bound north. A fair southerly
breeze enabled her TO work off to the
open sea. When discovered by Surf
man StItt she vas inside the line OF the
outer reef that runs parallel with the
shore about half a mile out from the
breakers, and short distance above
the life saving station. The vessel
barely succeeded in clearing this point.
The ship was undoubtedly bound for

lost her reckoning. But for the time

The Retail Liquor Dealers union, at
present locai organization, will en-
deavor TO form n state association OF
the dealers, says the Oregonian, and
the ultimate aim will be TO join into the
national organization. the National Re
tail Dealers union. =. II. Dolan. one
Of the organizers Of the union, was in
the city last week. and at an open
meeting advocated the cause OF COM
pletc organization so strongly tha; lhe
Portland dealers believe IL Is to their
interest to combine with the other men
OF their business throughout the coun-
try. At present there are associations
OF the liquor men In almost every town
In Oregon, and the desire OF the deal
ers here is TO bring these together. with
the state hea iquarters In Portland.
while the. identity Of the various as
sociations Is preserved When this
Is accomplished The next move will be
to gather all the state unions into the
national organization. All the retail
liquor men OF California and Washing
ion are a part Of the central order. and
the Portland dealers think oregon
should be represented. A large part
of the work OF the national organiza-
ton Is TO prevent legislation injurious
to the liquor traffic. Some time ago
an effort vas made TO increase the in
ternal revenue tax, but partly through
the retail liquor org lnlzation the meas
ure was defeated. At another time
bill was introduced prohibiting the sale
OF liquor within 400 feet of postoffice,
Again the national organization was
in defeating the passage

Owing to his selection as the leader
of the democratic minority in the
house, Representative John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi has become
one of the most prominent figures in
the lower branch of congress, where
he has served his party for the last
ten years. He is fifty years old, u
lawyer by profession but he is exten.
sively engaged in cotton planting.
He WAS educated IL the University
of Virginia and in Heidelberg, Ger
many speaks several modern languages
is torceful speaker and logical debater
and one of the most learned men il
the hnnse. He entered political life
at the time of the Chicago convention
which nominated Cleveland and
Stevenson when he was member of
the Mississippi delegation. Since
that time he has always been elected
to succeed himself the last time get
ting every vote in his district. He
now occupies the highest position in
the house which is within the gift of
the democratic party.

The governor has stated that he
will not call AN extra session OF the
Colorado Legislature and in this action
he is to be commended. That GER
tain inufiences have been brought to
bear upon him to call and extra ses-
sion to pass an eight hour law is only
too plain. 1t is true that the people
voted last fall to have an eight hour
law passed but as it was killed by a
few friends and champions of the
bill and extra session would meet the
same fate. The extra session has
been dribbed up by the grafters to
give them chance to sell out again.
The only way to secure an eight hour
law in Colorado is by constitutional
amendment and when properly pre-.
sented to the people in that way can
be adopted and made to stand. No,

The G. Y. aud company yesterday

The g. +. and company yesterday
shipped about seventy-five negroes
from Pueblo to the southern coal
fields. These men have been em-
ployed as general hustlers about the
steel works but the plaut being shut
down Saturday night they were offer
ed the alternative of going to the
southern fields or remaining idle.
The company does not hope or expect
to break the strike with the negro
laborers. They have got to make
showing against the great demonstra
tion now going on in the southern
field by the Miners union The ex-
perlepce of the Chandler mine at this
place in the last two years with negro
labor has proved n boomerang to the
company and detriment to the com
munity. The operators still maintain
that there is no scarcity of coal but
outside OF some 300 or 400 men work
ing in three or four different mines
IN the southern field there is practi-
cally no coal mining in the state even
the small mines on the Western Slope
having closed in the last few days.
