A gigantic scheme to issue forged cer tificates of residence to Chinese h;is been frustrated at San Francisco by the arrest of the five principals. The band had already established agencies at Van couver, Boise City, Helena, Lincoln, Denver, Chicago, Philadelphia, Xew Y'crk and Victoria, and had laid plans to uo business not only witli Chinese they intended to import bnt with as many as possible of the 80,000 unregis tered Chinese supposed to be in the United States. Estimating that they helieved that their fabulous profits would soon be enough to enable them to bribe officials, buy juries, influence politics and otherwise escape the penal ties of their crimes. Seven Chinese firms at San Francisco were in partnership with the forgers and they had agreed to take 15,000 of the certificates without much delay. The band is supposed to have begun its operations in Philadel phia, where there is a large paper fac tory and printing office, the proprietors of which are believed to have under taken the contract of making the paper. The signatures of Collector Wellburn and Deputy Cusick were cleverly forged and would readily pass for genuine, and the paper nsed was almost exactly tho same as that used by the government. The men arrested are H. L. Foss, F. D. Ciprics, D. J.. Sullivan, Max Katzauer and Moses Greenwald. Leon Devereaux, a sailor, was the forger. could have reache-l per cent of the ing to this collection will be recognized i wro js :v spark in some of them, in unregistered residents, or 10,000, they : forining an important item in his lit' el 'w ...ii ,! ,11 beheld the prohts of their enterprise work. it is much desired that Ameri- i .

This decision is of great importance to salmon canners in that province, as the disposal of salmon offal has been a vexed question for many years. The case will be appealed, but unless the decision is reversed it will necessitate the erection of costly works for the destruction of salmon offal, aud this the canners claim they can not well afford, owing to the depressed condi tion of the salmon market.
