OCCIDENTAL MELANGE
Judge Shattuck Oppsed to the
Chinese Exclusion Act.
AN APPOINTMENT BY GOV. MARKHAM.
British Seal Poachers Threaten to Sail
Under the German and Other
Flags Other News.
A large colony of Japanese propose to
emigrate to Sonora, Mexico, locate along
the Yaqul river and cultivate silk, tea
and rice.
Chinese are getting into San Diego
from Mexico with but little trouble.
Eighteen were smuggled in at one time
a few days ago.
There is a protest against the manner
In which the voting booths are being
constructed at Los Angeles. It is claimed
they will permit of fraud.
Charles' Taylor, the man who
"peached" on Frank Hen ton, bis pal, in
the robbing of the Boise City postothce,
now says his story was false, but that
statement is not credited.
The Chinese of Portland are exercised
over the death of one of their country
men while in the jail. They claim the
police used undue violence, and are de
termined to have the case thoroughly
investigated. -
The Palm Valley Water Company in
San Diego county, Cat., has ordered In
dian Agent KuBt to reopen the ditch
which he recently closed. The Indians
are overjoyed at their ditch being given
back to them.
The State Supreme Court of Idaho has
held valid what is called the high-iicense
law in Idaho. Tbe court sustains the
law at every point. The measure pro
vides that the license shall vary in towns
of different population.
The seal poachers of British Columbia
threaten to sail under German and other
flags and look toother governments than
Great Britain for protection. Many of
tbe sealers have invested all their money
in these piratical ventures, and are now
bemoaning the probable loss of their in
vestments.
Astoria's railroad excitement has taken
to that city a gang of burglars, who are
irighU'niag lone women in their houses
in the early part of the evening. A
number of- petty thefts are reported, but
no large "haul" bas yet been made.
Judge Catltn at Sacramento has de
cided that the election to provide a spe
cial tax to pay special policemen was
illegal and the tax not collectable, owing
to a fatal feature in the tickets voted,
which had the allirmative printed on
them and not the negative, the law re
quiring both, so that the voter could
scratch the one lie did not wish to in
dorse. Chances are favorable for tbe estab
lishment of the proposed telephone line
from Pendleton to Long Creek and Can
yon City, and it is probable that ork
will begin very soon. As soon as roads
are easily passible W. D. Fletcher, man
ager of the Pendleton Exchange, and
others interested will go over the route
and perfect arrangements. The building
of the line will be a great advantage to
Pendleton and to places all along the
route.
Hopmen of Lane county. Or., report
that up to within a couple of weeks ago
hops made a rapid and hardy growth,
but the past two weeka ago they have
grown very slowly, owing to the damp,
cold weather. They expect them to
come out all right, however, and the
prospects at present are that hops will
command a good price next fall. Tbey
are now quoted as being worth 35 cents.
Most hop raisers believe that the hop
lice are going to be unmerous this sum
mer, and many of them are already pre
paring to do a large amount of spraying.
Judge Shattuck refused a writ of ha
beas corpus in the cane of thirteen Chi
nese, who came to Portland on the
steamer Batavia and were denied land
ing by the Federal authorities. Judge
Shattuck gave his decision in accordance
with United States law, and then pro
ceeded to declare the law excluding the
Chinese obnoxious and iniquitous. "We
must alter our attitude toward the Chi
nese," said he, "or war will be the re
suit. China is getting to be a ve-2
wealthy and powerful nation, as the
French found after a vain struggle of
three or lour years to get posaesston of a
little piece of her."

The Treasury Department has decided
that customs officers are not authorized
to permit the original entry of Chinese
persons on the submission of naturaliza
tion papers issued by another govern
ment. The United States Court of Claims has
rendered a judgment under the Hermann

Bailey of Douglas county, Or., for $2,50
for property destroyed in the Oregon In
dian wars.
The annual fortifications bill has been
practically agreed on by the fortifications
subcommittee of the House Committee
on Appropriations. A cut amounting to

The Senate has adopted the resolution
offered by Stewart several weeks ago,
calling upon the Secretary of the Treas
ury for information as to the purchase
of silver bullion and the coinage of sil
ver under the act of 1SU0.
Bland bas introduced a resolution in
the House instructing the Committee on
Ways and Means to report a bill impos
ing an income tax sufficient to meet the
expenditures for pensions; also a bill to
repeal all taxes imposed upon currency
issued by authority of the States.
The House Committee on Agriculture
has decided to report a bill providing for
agricultural colleges for experiments in
silk culture. Representative Caminetti
says one of them will go to California
under the bill's provisions. It will be
under the supervision of the University
of California.
Senator Allen has submitted to the
Indian Committee what he thinks is
about the fair thing for a report on the
ruyaiiup Indian reservation; but, as
before stated, the committee does not
take the same view 01 tbe situation as
the VVashinsrton delegation, and is liable
to make a different report.
After havinz considered the attention
of constitutionality for a loug time the
House Judiciary committee has decided
to report a resolution directing an iaves
tigation to be made into the Pinkerton
system. The committee came to the
conclusion because of the alleged use of
Pinkerton men by interstate commerce
carriers and also because it was alleged
tneir employment resulted in violence to
persons and property.
Secretary Blaine appeared the other
day before the Senate Committee on
Commerce and made a strong argument
nposiiiL' the pending resolution author
izing the landing of the French cable on
the shores of Virginia and South Caro
lina. His objection was because the
trench Cable Company, co-operating
with the Brazilian government, had an
absolute monopoly of the cable privi
leges between the United btates and
Brazil, and if tbe resolutions paseed. tbe
negotiations looking to the procurement
of a concession to the American Cable
Company would come to naught. The
Secretary appeared to be in excellent
health, and made bis argument with
spirit and emphasis.
Senator Squire says he is not sure that
he will be able to secure the passage of
the bill for the gun factory on the Pacific
Coast, and he is now looking with some
favor upon the proposition from the War
Department, which suggests that the
Pacitic Coast should, pending legisla
tion on this latter, accept about fiity
mortars, to be situated at important
points for the protection of the river and
harbor property. Even if the bill should
pass lor a government factory, H could
not be buiit and turn out guns until at
least two years. During that, time it is
t bought by some of the War Department
officials that it would be well to send
tbe mortars to the coast.
Mr. Mason, Commissioner of the In
ternal Revenue, said the other day that
t he recent decision ot the Supreme Court
of the United States in the case of George
u. &aton is liaDie to be misunderstood
by persons not familiar with the facts.
That particular case, he explained, arose
under tne original oleomargarine act,
which did not prescribe a penalty in
case wholesale dealers failed to report to
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
The law, however, was subsequentlv
amended to cover this omission. It
should be understood therefore it is no
longer a mere department regulation,
but a provision of the law.
John Joy Edson, Chairman of the
Citiiens' Committee of the Twenty
sixth National Encampment of the
Grand Army, to be held at Washington
in September, has written a letter to
Commander-in-Chief Palmer, stating the
committee has asked Congress to appro
priate $100,000 from the funds of the
District of Columbia to assist in paying
the expenses of the encampment, and
that in consequence of the erroneous
belief that the appropriation was asked
from the fund of the general govern
ment, members of the Grand Army sent
protests to Congress aeainst the appro
priation. Edson sys the misapprehen
sion is embarrassing to the committee,
and asks the appropriation may be re
quested so far as possible.
Economist Holman is determined to
make a very strong fight against the
river and harbor bill when it comes up
in the House, He thinks he will have
strength enough to defeat it. Chairman
Blanchard, however, says he sees no
reason why it should not pass. The
Senate Committee on Commerce is goinu'
ahead with the consideration of the biii
and the amendments which that com
mittee proposes to make to it when the
bill comes over. They have gone about
half way through the bill, but have not
yet touched the Pacific Coast improve
ments either on rjversor harbors. There
is no doubt Senator Dolph will secure
some amendments for increases in Ore
gon, and the present action which Sena
tor Squire made for Washington will s
cbt aoma inereasM for that itat.
