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.

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.

Bakeh City Dst'OT. Within the last few
days the O. R. tc N. Co. have surveyed and
staked off tho grounds for a depot in Stewart's
addition to Baker City. 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.

our farmers shoultl let their juneluets g'i when

ELGCTBir LIGHT tl POItTLAND.
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.

Vakcouvfr BooMiNd. 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. The Towrx of
