CHINA HAS ISSUED HER HAT In Consequence of the Jmporor's Alllorie the Government will Attempt Some Means of Conciliating Illm. Associated Press. Washington, Sept. 11. In the senate today, Dolph presented a printed peti tion of a conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Oregon, for the repeal ot the Geary act. The petition alleged such' a state of affairs as to that law, that Dolph sold the petition showed that much of the opposition to the law was the result of ignorance as to Its provisions and effect. Referring to the bill recently Introduced Into the house extending the time for register ing to another year, he said he would have no objection to its enactment into law if such extension were requested by the Chinese government, or if there were any assurance that the six com panies would permit the Chinese labor ers to register. Pugh and Teller spoke In opposition to the repeal of the bill. Attorney General Olney has instruct ed the United States marshals to take no further stops for the enforcement of I he Geary ltiw pending sperlflc Instruc tions to the contrary from Washing ton. These Instructions do not apply, however, to Chinese already In progress of deportation by due process of law. The new Chinese minister to'thls coun try, Jang Yu, was at the state depart ment today and it is understood was informed by Secretary Gresham of the Intention of the administration to sus pend further action under the exclu sion act pending the action of congress on the bill Introduced by Itepresenla- tive Everett, extending to September 1st, 1894, the time to. which the Chi nese may ' register. The change In the attitude of the treasury department, which last week was contemplating In structions for the enforcement of the Geary law, is, it is believed, due to strong protests from the Chinese gov ernment, coupled with the Intimation that in the event of such action, that the government would no longer as sume the responsibility for the future safety of Americans in Chinese terri tory. Santa Monica, Cal., Sept. U. There was a complete abandonment of the town this morning by all the Chinese lnvndrymon and vegetable venders. STATE FAIR OPENED. Salem, Or., Sept. 11.

Impressive Funeral Services Over the ' Body of Lieut. Sydenham. Lieutenant Alvln H. Sydenham of the Plfth Artillery, died at Fort Canby on Sunday morning at 1 o'clock, after a brief Illness. The news of the sad af fair was a severe shock to the many friends the popular young officer had made In this city and was received with feelings of the most profound re gret. UutH Friday last, it was not rup posed that his illness would prove of a serious, much lees a fatal character. About ten day3 ago an eruption of a carbunculous nature appeared on his nose, but he attached no significance to it at the time. On Sunday, the 3d, he went to the beach, accompanied by Mrs. Sydenham, and dined with Mr. Knapp. The following day he com plained of feeling unwell and waa re ported as "sick In quarters" by Post Surgeon Dr. Raymond. The disease did not develop until Friday, when It was seen to be erysipelas. For the lost twelve hours before death ensued, he was unconscious almost constantly, and at intervals for the forty-eight hours preceding his death. It was not till Friday that Dr. Raymond became un easy, and on Saturday he concluded to telegraph Dr. Walker to come over and consult with him. Dr. Walker went to the Fort on the Ocean Wave, arriving there at 8 p. my but the end had al most come, and at 1 o'clock on Sunday morning, ' the bright younng officer passed away. Lieutenant Sydenham's , heart was never in good condition physically, and his sudden death waa due, in a large measure to that fact. The funeral services were conducted yesterday afternoon at his late resi dence by Rev. W. S. Short of the Epis copal church of this city. Mr.' Short read the service for the burial of the dead in a most impressive manner nad with deep feeling, for he as much as anybody present had known and loved the young officer. Ae the conclusion of the prayers a quartette consisting of Mr. Short, Mrs. C. H. Page, Mrs. J. E. Thomas, and Mr. S. Elmore, all of whom had been asked to assist, sang "Asleep In Jesus," and then the mourn ful procession was formed under com mand of Captain Thorpe. Slowly, and with heartfelt grief, twelve non-commissioned officers shouldered the cof fin, and, preceded by the minister, car ried It towards the Fort burial ground. Behind them came two squads of the dead lieutenant's regiment, followed by Mrs. Sydenham and Major Brinkle, commandant, and followed In turn by a large number of friends and soldiers. Near Ocean Beach, Jjst In the center of the little graveyard, the cortege stopped and the body wns lowered Into the grave. The day was glorious. Be yond the" knot of mourners lay the ocean, calm and beautiful, and the sound of the waves plashing against the shore came up from below throwing a quieting and soothing Influence over the hearts of the afflicted group. The minister in a clear voice, breathing hope and resignation, read the last prayers, pronounced the last benedic tion, and then the beautiful "Art Thou Weary,"' was sung sweetly over the dead. The firing squad ranged up be side the heaped-up mound, fired three quick, ringing volleys, and, as their echoes died away, the bugles rang out clear and strong "taps" the soldier's last farewell over the soldier's grave. Then dozens of hands deposited beau tiful wreaths over the coffin and the procession wended Its way back to the Fort, leaving its dead with God. No body who waa present at the scene will ever be able to forget Ha deep peace ond solemnity least of all will they forget the remembrance of him to whose memory they paid the last sor rowful tribute of respect. Lieutenant Sydenham was born in Iowa twenty-six years ago, and was appointed to West Point Military Acad emy from Nebraska, In September, 1885. He graduated In June, 1889; was assigned to the Eighth Cavalry, and In May, 1891, wag transferred to the Fifth Artillery. He waa with the Eighth Cav alry in the field In the Pine Ridge Ag ency during the winter of 1890-1, and served at Fort Keogh, Montana, Alca traz Island, Cal., before coming to Fort Canby, to which post he. waa assigned in June, 1892, Immediately after his as signment to Fort Canby, he spent six months on recruiting service at Salem. Lieutenant Sydenham waa posseseed of fine military attainments, and had also achieved some fame In the literary field, ia a writer for magazines, aeveral of his stories having been, published In Llppincott'a and other magazines. Three years ago he married Miss Gas trn of Philadelphia, then a young lady of eighteen, and with her leaves two children, the youngest of whom la but two months old.
