The Times-Mountaineer SATURDAY... r.. SEPTEMBER 19, 1S91 DEMOCRATIC LOGIC. Tho aggregate cost, in round num bers, of - the United States army and navy last year was $05,000,000. This . is one dollar for every man, woman , and child in the United States. A hard-working day laborer, owing to the indirect way of collecting govern- ' merit revenues through a protective . tariff,' with a family of five persons, paid during the past twelve months $G toward the" support of the army and navy, while Jay Gould, owing to the same robber principle of collecting taxes, paid no more than this amount. But still the army and navy gave Mr. Gould's millions protection while' the laboring man received barely any pro tection because he had nothing to pro tect. Armies and navies are for the nrntpfir.inn nf" t-.liA rrnnprtv nf tha rich. I 1 j . ' while the laborers of the land sustain them.

Benlon Leader. - This is the most approved Demo: cratic logic, and by such sophistry that ; party attempts to make votes from the laboring poor. While we may anx iously look forward to the time when nations shall learn war no more, . yet that time has not arrived; and un r til it does it is absolutely necessary for self-protection that - the United States have an army and navy. Taxes - for the support of this necessary arm- - ament come from the wealthy in many more different ways than it does from the poor. The principal sources of . revenue are from the consumption of liquors and tobacco, and perhaps the rich pay as much for these as the poor. These articles may be considered not necessaries, and he who uses them nit 1 si lira arillimf tn nnn ! 1 i r rt OUVUIU , WllllUg UV f J VU AMaBSJg price, isus tne wearer or toreign suits and other imported goods pays into . the trpftsnrv of the United States in . v -i -e j a.: i i Li.ji .

The amount these rich men pay for. imported wines at a single dinner and . every gallon or . bottle pays a tax to the government for a year. He or Bhe who is satis fied with home made articles lives oheaper and pays less for the support of the government than he or she who ' buys imported fabrics or clothes. The ' tariff is not a tax on the consumer, i i : i n i. the product of the pauper labor of Europe. ; " ' - Europe is intensely excited over the British taking possession of Sigri, on the island of Mitylene, and strongly fortifying the position. This is a commanding point in the commerce of the Dardanelles, and, it is very evi - dent, England will not allow Russia to gain a foothold on the isospnorua.

With her immense uwn way in naval matters; but, on . - land, the czar could quickly call into action double the number of land forces.' A auick movement like this frequently prevents a conflict, and this - audacious action on the part of the -. British fleet may call a halt to Rus- - sian aggression. The Republican campaign in the November states' this year is being fought on the principles of the party, and not on local issues. ' Protection stands on its merits, and, notwith standing it has been the point of at ; tack of the Democracy, it - is on as solid a basis ad ever. It has been the policy of the nation for long decades, and the people will not change it for any foreign economic policy. And the party is solid no break or defec tion - in the ranks, except regarding the Alliance followers, and very many of these will vote right when they cast the elective franchise. - All signs in dicate victory, and it . will not be sur prising if the ticket in all these states is elected by .a larger majority than ever before. Every city in the northwest has ex J it l i i- i nt Dalles eventually rebuilding in a more : substantial manner than ever, and our business - men and capitalists should - see that these Kind and encouraging . words are not wasted. J here is an opposition boat on the middle river, . and the freight problem is about to be solved in favor of the producer. The Queen City of - the Inland Empire, with all its natural advantages, should development is placed in opera- . tion, and that its growth in the fu ture shall be fully commensurate with the great advantages it enjoys -regarding geographical location. . President James J. Hill, of the Great Northern, has been in the Bel- l?n.f.nm la nttioa n r rl tflA naftnla n wa . -6"- J r f"- not satisfied where that transconti- nental line will pass through the Cas cades. Fsir haven and New Whatcom are cities with many factors of devel opment; bat they must wait patiently, and not be in too great hurry. Rail roads will come to them when it is to their advantage, and the Great North era would leave them "out in the cold" if by so doing it could secure the least oenenc ..The milk of human kindness is a constant stream in the benevolent breast of our evening cotemporary, for which we accord him our gracious and heartfelt thanks. All the time he has to spare from adding names to his subscription list he devotes to the personal benefit of the editor of this paper, and we can assure him these acts are duly appreciate!. Last Sat urday's issue, editorially, was almost completely devoted to proving that the reservoir was full of water, and yet we cau gut a dozen men to say that at the East End, at the beginning of the fire, tho, water soon gave out Sunday nicht, at the Peters fire, from some cause, the water was not sufficient, on two occasions, for the hose to throw a stream. We are thankful to our co temporary for this indisputable proof that, even with a full reservoir, the present system is inadequate for pro tection against fire, and,, with the sys tem enlarged, there trill be no better protection. The organ appears to be terribly exercised because the press of the state thoroughly understand the water ques tiODj 'bntthe fact is as apparent as sunlight, that the pumping system would have saved The Dalles on Wednesday, Sept. 2d, and that the present system would not baye fur nished one inch more water than there was; for the reason that, according to theestiroate adopted by the city coun cil, the new reservoir would only have been connected by a single main, while the pipes in the city north of the bluff would remain the same as they now are. We reason thus: If the reservoir was full during the .fire on Wednesday, no receptacle can be fuller than full. If the new reservoir was in operation, no more water could have been crowded into the old reser voir. Experience proves that there was not enough water to subdue the flames, and therefore the system . was inadequate. If the Chronicle, the ring organ, desires to assign the caue to any other source, the editor is wel come to do it for his own satisfaction. The people know the whole history of the water fight, and know what could have beer accomplished with the pumping system on Wednesday, Sept. 2d, when the flames were asserting autocratic sway over our homes. With the pumpinz system it would have beep confined to one or two b!ocks,and to-day we would not have been forced to stand, weepine over the grave of poor, honest, generous, open hearted Joe FitzGerald or industrious Mike Diamond, or sit amid the ashes of the burned homes and hearthstones of our relatives and friends. The ring organ first excused the progress of the fire on some flimsy reason, now it says the "pump -gave out" he means the hand engine and in the same article says the pipe that conducts the water into the cis tern was so full of rust that the aper ture was "scarcely large enough to ad mit i lead pencil." This pipe had been in the ground only four years, and what may be the condition of some of the pipes that have been laid sinco 1863! We make the statement, and challenge contradiction, the present system is inadequate for fire protec tion this has been proved on several occasions, and the experiments have cost the city millions of dollars. The great sensation in Xacoma is the Fidelity bank robbery by the sec retary E. A. Albertson, who ab- soonded with about $20,000 in money and $600,000 in securitiea By a scheme concocted ou the part of the thief and his accomplice to save de tection.accepted as a last resort by the president, the securities and the com bination to the vault were procured. If it bad not been the bank would have lost the amount and would have been powerless to transact business for some time. Albertson is still at large and may find his way to that paradise of "good men .gone wrong," Canada, where he may live happy and grow up with the country. Undoubtedly Washington is a progressive state, and this gigantic bank defalcation is another evidence tbat there is nothing fossilized or retrogressive about the new' commonwealth. Hon. James G. Blaine is the only prominent Republican looming up for 1892. He is thoroughly American, in its significance of being in .harmony with the institutions of the republic in the United States. His policy re garding the Mafia in New Orleans and reciprocity with South American coun tries have proved him a statesman and a friend to the best interests of the country, and if he heads the ticket in 1892 he will undoubtedly be success ful. The watchword .for the next campaign should be James G. Blaine and the supremacy . of the United States. ' The daughter of Col. Visscher, of Fairhaven, is an artist in the delinea tion of animals, such as jackasses and mules, and the colonel positively states he did not sit for either of the pict ures; but bis precocious daughter must have seen him while, he was asleep and transferred the picture to canvas, We do not honor Visscher less on ac count of this accident; but the genius of his daughter more. It is very evi dent that the colonel should eat more fish, and his brain power would be re cuperative, and he would not follow in the old time-worn groove of years be fore. ' ' - The statement we published regard ing the.number of families left desti tute by the late fire was from inform' ation derived directly from the relief committee. We have always consid ered this committee the most compe tent persons to judge of the number of destitute people, as they have carefully examined the matter and know every person who is in need or desires relief. It is a complimentary acknowledg ment on the part of the ring or- a " m r . gan . mat tne j. imes-jm.ountaineer controls the sentiment of the press of (he state on the water question. The influence of an established paper, like the old, reliable Mountaineer, is something wonderful. -. A FREE TRADE INDORSEMENT. Among all the newspapers of the United States, says the Chicago Inter- Ocean, none is more intensely free- trade and anti protection than the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. It long ago severed its connection with the Republican party on that ground. But in an editorial on the tobacco crop of the Connecticut . valley, and the prices the farmers are getting, it makes an argument for protection which is complete m itself as an argu ment in refutation of its pet ideas on political economy. The market price for the new crop is 27 per cent, in advance of Inst year and 35 in advance of two years ago. It is estimated that the cigar leaf crop of the entire United States will com mand a total of $8,000,000, instead of 5,000,000, as in 1890, or $4,000,000, as in 1889. To this is added the re mark: "The increased price of Auieri can leaf will not enhance the cost of cigars, as manufacturers will simply use domestic leaf, instead of Sumatra." And this statement, be it remembered, comes from a newspaper which is never weary of ringing the changes on the free-trade maxim, "a tariff is a tax." The Republican's confession that the McKinley bill has greatly bene fitted the growers of cigar leaf tobacco must not be taken as any Mgn of a change of heart. The tariff, said the late Gen. Hancock, is a local issue. Springfield is in the Connecticut val ley, and may be said to be the very heart of the limited area of New England adapted to tobacco-raisin. That valley and the Houbatonic are dependent upon tobacco, especially ci gar leaf tobacco, for their most valua ble agricultural products. Under the tariff reduction of 18S3 tho duties were reduced so low that, as the Re publican puts it, the enormous import ations of Sumatra stifled the produc tion of tnose valleys. The production of this year was largely increased, but fell far short of the maximum capacity of those valleys. If prices fall, the cause, as the law now stands, will be over-production, and not Sumatran competition. This is only one of' many practical illustrations of the beneficent results of the McKinley bilL Here and there all over the country demonstrations are being furnished that it is entirely practicable to levy prohibitive duties without any burden upon the con Burner. It may be a little hard on the Sumatrans or rather on the DiHcb who own the island. The poor natives who do all the work will never know the difference. It may be tbat the thrifty proprietors will simply raise more coffee and less tobacco, experien cing no net loss. Be that as it may. the higher duties under the McKinley act must be set down, from. the stand point of those for whom congress was bound to legislate, as an unmixed good DEMOCRACY. The great Democratic party of the great United States eonvened in great council at Saratoga, N. Y., and after great deliberation renewed its pledges of fidelity to the faith. As re gards national issues, it reaffirmed the doctrine of the platforms 1884 and 1888, aad solemnly stated that it was against the coinage of any dollar which is not of the .intrinsic yalue of every other dollar of the United States. To be orthodox in the faith it denounced the silver bill the Republican congress as a "false pretense," the appropriations granted to public works and bounties to old war yeterans . as "the subsidy and bounty swindle," the McKinley bill as "worse than a war tariff," and reci procity as "the Blaine humbug," etc, Democracy, to be consistent, ccnld not do otherwise than denounce in un qualified terms every act of the pres ent Republican administration, and as it has not, for the past quarter of a century, evolved a single new idea in the art or science of government, the representatives of corrupt Tammany in convention assembled could not be expected to make any move in that di rection. To read the platform from beginning to end proves conclusiyely, as a very intelligent Democrat frankly acknowledged to us to-day, the only object is to defeat the Republican party by any and all methods, and to accomplish this purpose "the end jus tifies the means." The demagogy contained in these enunciations of a great national party is apparent to the most casual ob server. On the silver question the piank is as equivocal as it possibly could be, and the sentence that the Democracy "is against the coinage of any dollar which is not of the intrinsic value of eyery other dollar of the United States," simply means that silver dollar should be worth a silver dollar in this - country, and nothing more, for there are no other dollars coined in any of the mints. The mem bers of the Saratoga convention knew perfectly well that our present dollar is only worth 80 cents in gold; but they were afraid to pats a resolution that this coin should be up to the gold standard because they might be con sidered in harmony with Wall street; and dared not say that our silver dol lar should pass on a gold basis for fear they might antagonize the moneyed interest of the country; therefore they couched their doctrines on the silver question, the most important one now agitating the country, in the most equivocal manner. The - simple opposition to the Mc Kinley tariff bill, the silver legislation, reciprocity and the appropriations of the last congress, carry little weight with the thinking portion of - our population, and until arguments are produced against them, or time has proved them not for the best interests of" the country, they will be consid ered wise legislation. Of course, a party, which for ' twenty-five years 1 past has simply followed a policy of obstruction, cannot be expected to pledge ' itself to any plan of national government. The success of our financial system, which has reduced our national debt without crippling the resources of the country; of our industrial economy, which has paid our bread-winners higher woges than any country in the world; of our in ternational policy, which has made the United States the foremost repub lic of modern times, and insured peace and harmony with all foreign nations, have all been the result of the wisdom and statesmanship of Republican ad ministrations. Each of the measures, looking to these ends, has been op posed by the Democratic party, and the same demagogical tactics will be followed in. the future. The Republi can party has merited its place in the history of the country as one of prin ciple and progression, and Democracy, however much its rough surface may be smoothed and polished, can only be known to intelligent 'readers as the party of obstruction and retrogression. We received a registered letter to day, containing circulars from the Or egon Press Association, and a blank form of contract donating the first $24 worth of advertising submitted to it at usual rates bv E. C. Pentland, as compensation for his services as secre tary; and that on all advertising sub mitted by E. C. Pentland after the said $24 worth, a commission of 15 per cent, be allowed. The editor of this paper, with all due considera tion for all Mr. Pentland has done to wards building up a press association in this state, does not believe in a sal aried secretary, being persuaded that emoluments attached to the office would make it too eagerly sought for, and would tend to change this frater nal gathering of hard literary workers into a money making scheme rather than one for the mutual benefit of the profession. As regards appropriating the first $24 to Mr. Pentland and a commission of 15 per cent, on all sub sequent advertisements, we most posi tively and respectfully decline, with many regrets. For several years past we have attended to this matter per sonally, and have perfect confidence in our ability in the future. During the conflagrations which have visited the city for the past twenty years our fire departments have worked most heroically, and, without remuneration of any kind, have used their best endeavors to save ;he city from destruction. The citi zens feel thankful to them for the ef forts they put forth, and it is most un grateful for them to be criticised by persons who never used the least ex ertion on that terrible September 2d to save The Dalles from devastation; but kept a safe distance from the flames, and, like bar-room politicians, or parlor generals, would map out a campaign in the policy of government or the conduct of war, according to their own opinionbetter than those who were actively engaged in the field, Lieut. Governor Jones, of New York, comes out boldly and opposes the nominees of the Saratoga conven tion, and says that not only the inter ests of the people have been sacrificed. but the existence of the Democratic party has been jeopardized. We are glad to hear such bold words from one who knows that he is sacrificing every selfish end when he opposes the dictates of bis party; and leads a per son tc believe that some good still'ex ists in the ranks of Democracy, While voters are led captive at the behests of conventions all manner. of fraud can go unchallenged and be sue cessful; but when a manly independ ence actuates citizens that will even oppose the party of their choice, free institutions may be considered safe and solid in the keeping of the sev ereign people. The little town of Union, in th Grande Ronde valley, is rejoicing in the encouraging prospects of witness ing soon a woolen factory in full ope ration. This industry would have been established in The Dalles long since if the least encouragement had been extended to the enterprise; but our business men were slow in consid ering the proiect. and it went else where. . Union has good water power, but not equal to The Dalles, and the wool market does not nearly approxi mate to that of this city. We have all the advantages for manufacturing industries of all kinds, and we should be energetic and alert to reap every advantage from them. Affairs are quieting down in Chili, and it may be expected very soon that that prosperous country will be on its usual solid basis. Already vessels are loading lumber at Sound ports for this hitherto distracted country, and in a little while the northwest may expect her usual lucrative trade with South American republics. As far as can be learned at this distance, the congressional party represented the better financial interests of Chili, and it is not to be expected thai the - men who composed the congress will allow business to lag or industries to be crippled. - The Pacific coast will soon be del uged by the doctrines of Democracy, as several prominent Democrats have begun the .tour' of the coast. Our people need expect nothing new in' a political line fro:u these gifted orators, as the party they represent has not evolved a new idea in government for the past quarter of a century. A million . dollars' loss in The Dalles, and the city has the best pros pects for growth of any in the north west. Pluck and energy will build the town better than ever before, and this disaster will demonstrate whether we have the grit and enterprise to profit by our situation and wealth.. EDITORIAL NOTES. We challenge our evening contem porary to prove a small false state ment on the pumping system published ia the columns of the Times Mount aineer for the past four years. Our files are bouud in book form and are accessible to anyone. In the United States the Republi can party will not retrench . upon a singla principle. By the financial doctrine carried out by the leaders the country has been prosperous, and the best monetary policy has been car ried into operation that has been adopted by any nation. The representative of the leading cigar manufactory of New York states that "there is an unprecedented de mand for the highest grade of domes tic leaf, resulting in an advance in price of 30 to 40 per cent., whuh the tobacco growers themselves profit by." The fad for foreign goods appears to be subsiding, which must be encourag ing t o the home market. Of all the places on the Sound, Bel lingham bay appears the most prom ising. Iq this place there is anchorage for the commercial fleets cf the world, and timber, iron, coal and vegetable products that cannot be equalled on the coast. The Sound country is not half developed, and the possibilities cf the future c:tinot be determined. Oregon and Washington are two grand states, and their possibilities cannot be determined f.t this stage cf settlement in this couutry. TELEGBAPHI0. The I"faa ltcr Arrestee. Marsufield, Oregon, Sept. 17 Fred Chandler and Edward A'liertp.oo, the Tacoma bank robbers, were arrested four miles below Gardiner last night by Chas. A. Lamkins, deputy sheriff of Tacoma, assisted by W. W. Cochrane, ot Eugene, E. H. Moore, of Gardiner, and J. T. thomson, of Florence. The arrest was effected by a well arranged' pltn, slnll f ally carried into execution. Albertson and Chandler were completely taken by surprise. Being ordered to throw up their bands, tbey were slow to comply, Chandler's hands finally went up, while Albertson reachvd for hi revolver. Cochrane was as quick, however, and shot simply to wouud the now desperate defaulter, making only a flesh wound. They were easily captured then, and taken to Gardiner, where medical aid was immediately summoned. Albertson has the bust of care and 19 resting easy. Chandler talks freely, and exonerates all others than himself and Albertson fro.n-complicity in the robbery, but will cot give any details leading up to the robbery of the bank. Lampkins will take Chandler tint by the way of liraine to-morrow. Albertson will be left in charge of Deputy Sheriff Cochrane until be is abte to be removed. The (Sequel of a Crime. Milwaukee, Wis., Sept, 17 Walter F. Horton, of St. Paul, and Miss Yanwie, of Trempeau. Wis., were married at Mastin, Wis., the residence of Miss Yaowie's brother. The groom is the man who was tried a year ago for the murder ol bis wife and child, and was acquitted. It was said at the time that .Horton had put bis wife out of the way so that be might marry Miss Yanwie. Horton was quite talkative lo Minneapo lis reporters before bis departure from that city yesterday, and seemed to want bis friends to know just what he was about. "I do not wish to keep any part of the matter a secret," he said, "consid ering the circumstances with which the public is already acquainted. After the wedding we sijall come to St. Paul where we shall take up our residence. I have informed my employers and all my friends, and those of the br.de, and they don't seem to censure me, but there are doubtless a great many people who be licye that I murdered my wife in ordei to marry Miss Yawme, in spite of the tact that 1 was acquitted. The marriage now will probably serve to confirm the be lef in the minds of some, and bring forth remarks irom them. 1 shall strive, however, to so live io the community tbat those about me will know that I am no criminal, but an honest man," A Thieving Merretary. Elizabeth. N. J., Sept. 17. Cbarleg Barhold, secretary of the German ma chinists' union branch in this city, was arrested yesterday at his home for em bezzlement. He is charged with forging names of members to blank certificates of sickness and forwarding them to the treasurer of the union, Henry Barkou, of New York, for payment, Barhold con fessed his guilt to Chief Tenny, and said his specuiations extended over a period of over ve yean. He forged the names of dead members ot the society to the applications for benefits. Up . to last evening it was found that money had been drawn by him for thirty-four mem bers on bogus orders, and there are twenty more complaints to be made.

Galavotti superintendent of the Derlec Drift minei was murdered by highwaymen this morn ing while coming to the ctty with $5000 in gold bars, just cleaned up at the mine. ttaiavotti anl J. u. Ustrom were in a two horse buggy ascending the South Yuba river grade, six miles from the city, when a rifle shot was tired from the bank above. The ball entered the back of Galavottl's bead and emerged from the mouth, causing instant death. Ostrom struck the horses with the whin, urging them into a run up tne steep gradeiust as the second snot was nrea. lne bullet entered the neck of one of the horses. but a turn in the road soon took the team out of range of- the shooters. Os trom continued to force the team up the grade, holding bis companion's dead body in the vehicle with one arm, and being soaked from head to foot with blood. To Smuggle Opium. San Francisco, Sept. 17. Customs Inspector McGinnis made a uery pecul lar seizure on tne racinc Mail com pany s steamer uoina this morning, Two ordinary looking planks were lying on the between decks, and Jucuinnis passed tbem a dozen times in making his rounds. He accidentally kicked one of tbem and it moved easily. The plank was 10 feet long, 12 inches broad and 4 inches thick. This arroused McGinnis1 suspicions, and he picked the ptank up only to find it very light. A rigid exam ination followed, which showed that each plank was hollow and bad been prepared for the smuggling' of opium. The work had been done most skillfully and three five tael tins of "dope" fitted the hollow space to a hair's breadth. JSacb plank would hold thirty pounds of the drug. The planks bad evidently been in use as flooring for a wnart, ana naa tney been rushed ashore on the shoulder of a long shoreman, would be above suspicion. Tbey had just been prepared and would probably have done doty before the China sailed. - - 1 County Court. The bids for wood were opened and it was ordered that these be not made public, aod that the sheriff and county judge be authorized to do the best they can in the matter. ftoad 207 Bond approved and ordered that E F Sharp be appointed surveyor and Geo Herbert, C R Bone and Jos H Wilson viewers to meet at beginning of said road on a day to be mentioned. It was ordered that the county clerk and assessor make the report requested by com munication. Resignation of C W Freeman, justice of the peace for Deschutes precinct, accepted and A S Roberts appointed to fill the vacancy. Clerk ordered to advertise for bids for keeping the county sick.

TELEGRAPHIC. The nitylene Affair. London, Sept. 16. The intimate rela tions between - the British and Italian cabinets, Itisly being in closer relations with England cither than Austria and Germany, so far as informal official inter course is concerned, lend gravity to au thentic reports fiom Rome of Italy's na val preparations. In this connection attention has been called to the exist ence of an agreement entirely distinct from the triple alliance between Italy and Great Britian to maintain the exist ing s'atus in the Mediterranean. The presence of a Russian fleet at Constanti nople might be regarded as disturbing the status, aud Great Britian, in repell ing the Russians frorr the Dardanelles, might feel justified in calling in the assistance of Italy. It is noted tbat nei ther Austria nor Germany have taken such energetic steps as those of Italy to place their navies on a war footing; and they apparently look upon the Darda nelles question, as an is ue to be settled by England, Italy and Russia. The question ot the occupation of Mitylene is still a mystery, although the island is within easy distance of Constan tinople, Smyrna and Athens. The gen eral belief is that an occupation has taken place, and that a few days will witness an explanation of the reasons tbat influenced Great Britain in the matter. A Vienna dispatch says tbat the seiz ure of Mitylene has botched matters and discomfited Russia, and that proba 1)1 y another attempt will bo made by Russia to send war transports into the Mediterranean. The correspondent adde that Russia's plan probably included the sudden seizure of Constantinople, and that the French fleet would have come to the aid of the Russians in a conflict.

July 13, the United States commissioner at Detroit, in the case of a Chinaman found unlaw fully in the United States, ordered him to return to China as being the country whence be came. The case was appealed to the district court, and yesterday the treasury department received a dispatch that Judge Swan had reversed the de cision of the commissioner, and found that Canada was the country from which the man came, and bad directed his re turn there. Acting Secretaiy Spaulding teiegrapDea tne deputy collector at De troit that in case the Chinaman came be' fore the court on habeas corpus proceed ings, to request tbe district attorney to take an appeal. If the proceedings were under tbo exclusion act ot 1883, tbe de cision will Le regarded as final. At tbe treasury department with the informa tion now before it. the decision is re garded as one of great importance, and it is said tbe practical effect, if tne proceed ings at Detroit were under the exclusion act, will be to render inoperative tbe pro visions of tbat act. The attorney gen eral has heretofore decided that under tbe " provisions of tbe act tbe country whence Chinamen came means "Chios," and tbe department has been sending all Chinamen convicted of being unlawfully in tbe tnited States back to tbat countiy.
