In response to a letter ot tho collector of customs at San Fran cisco, Assistant Secretary French, of tho treasury department, has addrcised that offi cial the following reply : Tkbasukv Depaiitment, Oct. 20. Sin: Thetjucstion is presented whether a Chineso laborer who resided in this country at tho date of tho confirmation eff tho treaty of November, 18SU, and who went to Uhma be fore the passage of tho act of May 0, 1882, and who has icturncd to San Francisco, is en titled to land without producing the certifi cate ptescribed by said act, and whether a ceitificatu of tho consulato of China at Sin Francisco issued before the passage of Baiil act may bo received ns proof of his identity and fonn'r residence in this country. It was manifotly not the intention of Congress to take away from the C nnese laborer residing in this country at tho date of the confirmation of the treaty of 1880 his light to goaneiie turn, and as it is impossible for a Chinese la borer departing from the country before the passage ol the act ot 1882 to obtain tho certifi cate rcijuin d by that act of Congress, it could not have inteuifed to deprive him of thu right u return lor not doing what was impoisibln.

J WILLAMETTE FARMER: PORTLAND, nuEfiONr NOVEMBER I.IIITV Alt IIIAKOKI). The Jury In Hie Case or Ibe Slale vs. tan Damme Flml a trrdlet or fKulllr. The case ot the State vs Wm, Van Damme, charged with attempt to kill hiswifo by (-hooting her with a gun charged with grael stones and powder, was concluded yesterday. The jury were out an hour when they returned a verdict of "guilty ns charged in the indict ment." Mr. Van Damme, shortly after the cidict was announced, was interviewed by a Stammiid lcroiter who found him in a ad state, crvmc amt bwailinjhis fate and assev erating his innocence. Tho evidence against him was altogether circumstantial but was so conclusive that on the first ballot tho jury stool eleven to one for conviction. On the sixth ballot they were unanimous. It is diffi cult for anv one to enncehe what Van Damme's object could be in trying to kill hii wife. They are from Ghent and neither of them havo any relatives in this country, came here from Kanfas several years since and have worked anel lived happily together up to the time of tho attempted murder, ilrs Van Damme's testimony was as f ivnrahle for her huMiiml as she could make it. but they cntrjelicted ench other on some points. There is something at tho bottom of all thii which has not been tirought to light. The intimacy of the couple with the notnriousMrs. Klkins, whose child the) had in charge, an 1 their frequent Msits to her. and a uunrrel which occurred between these parties on ac count of something saiel liv van Dainmo.have something to do with the'mattcr which will probably never come to light. The riixeiic llomlelilc. The evidence in tho Brown-Burneson homi cide case1, is substantially, that they had had several disputes heretofore about different matters. Mr. Burneron had Biown's hop yard leased, and it appers that on account ef bad feeling on both sidoi, Burneson had moved off thn promises, but returned to the place Monday morning with two men and com menced digging potatoes he had planted, Brown appeared on the scene and claimed part.of the potatoes, but Burneson ordered him to leave, which Brown refuieel to do. Burneson grabbed a combination rifle and shotgun and drow it on him, still warning him to leave. After parleying awhile, ilurne Bon keeping tho gun at his shoulder, Brown pulled a self-cocking six-shooter, then Burne son fired the shotgun, misnng Brown, but immediately after fired the rifle barrel, which took effect about three inches below tho right ear and passed out just under the cheek bone on the left side. Brown lived about soven hours after the shot was fired, hut made no statement of the case, being unable to speak. Brown was formerly night watchman here anel had recently gone into the hop business rather extensively. Burneson has ho name of being a ejuiet and peaceable citizen.

Tho grounds lie in the midst of Stewart's cat eighty aero tract, Kit feet from his door, and hu wants $1,500 for them and the right of way. The right of way agent says ho will not give anything for the Inn's, os Mr. Stewart promised a year or more ago, that he would give the lands to the compmy, and further, that the company own lands a milo or mire from town that they will build tho dot ot eteiwn there. Mr S. sa8 he is etill willing to donate the depot lands to tho company, provided they will build it on the north end of his land, which, as he al leges, was tho part originally selecteel. hut if thov build where the stakes are now driven he inu-t have tho sum above named fur the rea sons above given. A subscription paper has been circulated for the purpose of raising funds wherewith to purchase tho grounds the company havo selected, but with what suc cess wo are irnt informed. If the depot shouUt lio built on the lands of the company, which are between one and two miles north of town, it will inflict a very sovere blow on Baker City Wo trust such a calamity will in some proper way bo averted.

The Portland Electric Light Company, which has been in working order for Borne time, extended its service yesterday by put- . .,n in l.mni in business places. The company has hat ten double lamps in open ton at the O. R. & N. Co.'s atoamihip dock for Bever.il month, and barring a utile sput tering, appear to give satisfaction. The new lamp-are at the following places: on front street, at tho Ksmond, on the rorner of the street, and in Mucssdorffcr's store; on Morn son street, in front of Louis Eppin;er a sa loon; on First street, in the Holton House, two in Ackerman's store, Penny s saloon, in front of Keith's restauiant, in the Merclants Exchange saloon, and in front of Hohin saloon. Tho new lmnpswere put up by Deni mer & McIIugh, ar d for the first experiment showed upvery well. Thev were extinguished at 12 o'clock last night, audthatwill ba thear rangement for the present until switches can be attached, so as to make each lamp inde pendent of the other. For a time they will need especial supervision until they get to working smooth. The system cmplovcd by the company is the Weston. The Ednon sys tem is to be tested bv the 0. R. & N. to. on the Ainsworth dock before long. The eh c trio lamps can only be handled by persons who are well informed about them, as there is more or less danger connected therewith to other persons. Accidentally tshot. Word was brought tu Coroner Cooko last evening that Andrew Befgendde, a Swede re siding six miles fre in Eist Portland, on the Foster road, had shot himself while out hunt ing. He at ( uce proceeded to the place and held an inejuest on the remains. It appears that Bergendde was hunting deer with a neighbor, who was about 50 feet distant when the accident took place. He had jut seen a deer run by, and heard an exclamation from Bergenddo and then a shot, and suppos ng that he had fired at the deer, rati to htm and found him gasping in tho agonies of death. He had evidently stepped upcm a log near bv and lost his balance, and his gun slipping off tho log the hammer had struck against it, dicharging tho piece, the load of buckshot hitting him in the abdomen. Tho jury re turned a verdict of accidental death. Till: TAV KOLL.

A gentleman who returned from Vancouver yesterday, states that the citizens of that usually quiet burg, are greatly excited over the future prospects of their city. Keal estaro has increased in price to an astonishing extent, and all are convinced that lightning is to strike in that vicinity soon. Just what foundation exists for their expectations he could not ascertain, but the idea that a hridge acros the Willam ette below Portland is to bo built and destroy the commerce of Portland, seems to pravail there, and it is supposed that this fact will build up Vancouver at the expense of Port land. It is time Vancouver had a boom, and it is to be hoped that it may be kept up to tho benefit of the town. Fatal Aixiient. Mr. John Croyle, who came down on tho S. G. Reed, last evening, says the Aetorian, informs us that yesterday John Roycroft was drowned in the Columbia, whilo crossing in a boat. He had started from a point on tho Oregon side about three miles below Rattier, and nearly rcacheel the Washington Territory side, just below the n'outh of tho Cowlitz, when he appeared to run into a floating tree, his boat immediately upsetting and throwing the unfortunate man into the water, where, after a few ineffective struggles, he sank to death. Ho was a mar ried man, aged 40 years, living near Kalama. Gavk HmstLF Up. Last Monday Mr. Nimchick, the German who was accused of murdering Thos. Rsy, the young man who disappeared last week from the Forks of the Sintiam, came to this city, says tho Albany Vrmocrat, and give himself up. Such was tho feeling in the vicinity of Rav's home that he feared mob violence, and took this course to protect himself, although he claims to he innocent. The clothes of Ray have been found, with several shot holes through his hat. As he had a rifle he could not have made them" himself. Who did it is a mys tery, although many in the Forks Beem to think Nimchick is the guilty one. Certainly it looks more) and more as if some one had killed him, and that it is not a case of drown ing.
