NEVER WAS IN CHINA.
But the Exclusion Act Operates Just
the Same.

New York, Sept. 5.-Sam Honang, a
British subject. who is said to be one
of the wealthiest residents of the island
OF Deme-ara. 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 it 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
Europe. Letters of introduction to
prominent and wealthy persons all over
the world were forwarded by his CORE
sOondents. and he set out on his
voyage.
Honang never has been in China. He
was born in Demerara of Chinese par
ents. They were both British subjects.

figure in his plans.

THREATENS HAY.
A Man Tries to Hold Up Gov
eminent for Sal, 900.

New York, Sept. 5.-Francis Beuque,
46 years old, a photographer, was COM
mitted to Bellevue hospital today to be
examined as to his sanity Beuque has
been arrested for writing a letter to Sec
rotary of State John Hay, in which he
threatened the secretary if claim of
$41, 900 was not paid. Beuque has writ
ten letters on the subject to the various
presidents and secretaries of state since
the administration of Harrison, none,
however, threatening in tone until this
letter to Secretary Hay, in which he
declared that if Mr.. Hay did not attend
to his claim he, Beuque would attend to
Mr.. Hay. Magistrate Cornell declared
that he did not believe Beuque was in
In his right mind and committed him to
Bellevue for examination
The washington police state that the
amount demanded by Beuque from the
authorities of Hamburg, Germany, was
vested in 1899 in a photograph gallery in
that city and he claims to have lost 1t
when he was expelled because he refused
to perform military duty on the ground
that he was an American. He was given
three days to leave Germany, but
through Secretary of State Blaine had
the time extended to three months. The
alleged threat in his recent letter to Sec
rotary Hay was in the statement that
he had written eight letters to the gov
eminent to have his claim enforced and
the present one would be the last. He
said he would take up the matter then
himself and whatever he did would be in
"self-defense." The letter like its pre-
decessors, was long and rambling.

ATCHISON LOST 1T.
Defeated by the Topeka Ball Team in
Fridays Game.

The Atchison baseball team are no
longer invincible. The new Topeka team
defeated them easily on Washburn field
Friday by score of z to 4.
The game was thoroughly interesting
and was characterized by some snappy
ball playing but there were a few weak
spots in both teams that were painfully
evident at critical times. There was a
new man at third for Topeka. His name
is Curry and he gave an excellent &C
count of himself. Joe Ramsey caught a
good steady game but his throwing to
second was bad. The two pitchers, Nc
Campbell and jackson were hit hard
but the Topeka players had the better
of the stick work. Gill. who played
short for Topeka was hit in the eye with
a batted ball and his place was taken
by Halderman. who was in center field.
Slusser went to center but had little OPP
portunity to distinguish himself
Atchison is playing a second game this
afternoon and on Monday afternoon the
Topeka players will meet the strong
Nelson Morris team from St Joe on
Washburn field.
Topeka has the material for good
ball team and they deserve encourage
