TEST OF EXCLUSION LAWS.
Involved In Case of Hong Wing Asfnst
 The United Stafes..


 Cincinnati. O.. Dec. 5.-The Chinese exclusion laws are involved in the case of Hong Wing versus the United States, which came up for hearing be- fore the United States court of ap- peals In this city today The case Is one of half dozen of identical fea- ture, this having been advanced by the court and tho others being held to stand or fall. according to the results in this Chinese case.
 The case came from the northern district of Ohio and was presented to the court of appeals by former Judge Francis Wing on behalf of the China man and District Attorney J. J. Sul- lfvan on behalf of the government.
 Judge Wing argued that the phrase ology of existing statutes was con- flicting and that such laws should be declared vitiated. that there was actu- ally no constitutional law in force and that further the appellant came into the court legally and should not be deported as had been ordered by the lower court. For the government it was claimed the appellant entered the 6otifts Under false presenses, nominal ly as a student, but that he had since been engaged in business and was therefore subject to the exclusion laws.
 When the court adjourned for the day Judge Wing had just completed his presentation of the case. Tomor- row the side of the government will be presented by District Attorney Sui- HvAn

 The bone was crushed at one point and several teeth were missing. Fur their search was made and a hammer which the police say has stains upon 1t such as might have been made by blood, was found. When additional detectives were summoned the floor of the cellar was torn up and twenty human bones were found. The police discovered also a pail which they de- clare bears evidence of having con tained uuieklime.
 The mystery of the finding of the skull and bones is heightened by the testimony of a tailor whose shop is op- posite the house. He told the police that last Christmas evening he heard shots in front of his place and upon Ro- ing out saw two men carrying . third man into the basement of the house numbered 112. Recently, he add ed. woman and her daughter had been In the neighborhood inqulrlng for a relative who taey said had been miss ing since last December.

THE MOROCCO QUESTION.
Why Does the United States Participate
 In the Imbr0gliOS

Hartford Courant.
 The people of this country have been informed that their Ambassador at Rome, Mir Henry White, for many years Secretary of the legation and embassay at London and an uncommon Iy capable, accomplished gentleman, is to be one of their representatives in the approaching international confer ence at iAlgeciras about Moroccan af- fairs. They know that a difference of opinion as to the future of Morocco arose some months ago between France and Great Britain on the one side, and Germany on the other. and that thls conference is the result. But 1t hasn't been clearly explained to the people as yet by anybody why Mir. Henry White and his colleague are going to Alge- cirds, or what they are to do there.
 Certainly this country has no poIiti- cal interests in that part of the world. 1t has trade interests Gnere, as it mas everywhere else It had trade inter- ests in Turkey twenty-seven years ago, but 1t did not send delegates to tne congress of Berlin. It has much larg- CT trade interests in Turkey now than 1t had then. Suppose-thIs naval de- monstration fallIng to accomplish all that is hoped from it--the great Euro pean powers presently conclude that another congress of Berlin tor Par.s. or Vienna) to discuss the future of Macedonia and the adjacent res slons IS advisaDIe. Would President I.oUsevelt, in behalf of the United States, accept au invitation to take part Tn that Eu- rohean deiiDeration? E
 Six years ago, at The Hague, the American delegates to une Czar peace .conterence thought II necessary to make two distinct reservations before signing an agreement with regard to the peaceabie settlement of interna- tIonal dispute, and the first was tnIs: "Nothing contained in this convention shall be so construed as to require the United States of America to depart from it's traditional policy of not en- tering upon. interfering with, or en- tangling itself in the political ques- tons or internal administration of any foreign state"
 Why are Ambassador White and his colleague going to the intevna tional conference at Algeciras? WhAI are they to do there? What has become of the traditional policy" and how does it happen that this country is abous to confer with sundry European coun- trise as to the affairs of a North Airi- can country?

Kentucky Cannot Tax Property Not i,
 the cfate.


 Louisville. Ky. Dec. 5.--The claim of the county Of Jefferson and State of Kentucky for five years back taxes against the Southerns Pacific Railroad Company. on a valuation of $500, ,00G,- 900. has been compromised.
 This morning in the county court an order was entered wherby, the com- pany agrees to pay a total of $54,0oo in settlement of all back taxes and agrees hereafter to pay the county and state taxes each year on an assessed valuation of s2,700. .o00
 The Southern Pacific Railroad Com pany is holding concern, having no possessions in Kentucky. Only an of- nee Is located here.

ORDERED TO BOHEMIA.
Twelve Infantry BattaIions VIII March

Vienna. Dec 5.--The Neue Freie Press says that twelve infantry battal- ions stationed at Linz. Cracow and oimuetz and dragons stationed. at Nustadt have been ordered to march to Bohemia.
 Serious disorders are anticipated in Bohemia in connection with the suf- frage agitation. The governor of Bo. hemia has notified the government that the garrisons there are not sufficient to cope with the threatened disorders.
 1t appears, according to the Neue Freie Press that the movement is not confined to an agitation for an exten. sion of the suffrage, but is tInged with anti-Semttism which makes the out look more threatening.
