About 400 Chinese laborers have been landed in thl city during tiie last five months and have been given free entry in the guise of "'merchants and They are now working in the orchards in various parts of the state, in the saicioa canneries ou the Columbia river and in dozens of small China-town facto' ies of various kinds. Yes-j terday 41 of tiiein were allowed to pass through the custom house and an additional 100 went into quarters on Wednesday night from the steamer Doric and are expected to be released to-day.

These laborers have nearly all come in on certificates issued in Macao, a dependency of Portugal, and which, under an opin-i ion of the attorney-general of the United States, delivered May '20, lSOIi. must be recognized as prima facie evidence as the right of their bearers to land. The opinion was in effcet that the Uritish registrar-general at Hong Kong, the commissioner of customs at Canton, and the officer of any other foreign country possessing depend-j encies in China should be recognized as competent to sign such documents. No such identification at this port is called for, no previous residence here is called for, and, in short, it seems as though a simple means has been found to successfully evade the Chinese restriction acts. 1'ullntiin Streets I'lnimeil.

Chicago, Oct. 2. Corporation Counsel Thornton has decided that the public has the same risrht in, ou and under the streets of Pullman that it has of the other nublie thoroughfares in the city. This decision is expected to give Chicago possession of betweeu ten and 15 miles of improved streets iu Pullman. A legal tight with Pullman's Palace Car Co.

and the Pullman Land association, both of which are interested, may ensue. The company officials claim the sole jurisdiction over the streets and up to the present have not had their rights disputed seriously. Commissioner a few weeks ago took up the question and it was on his request that the opinion was given. Jurisdiction over the streets includes the right of the city to grant privileges for gas, electric light, street railways, almig and under them. On these points the clash between the city and the Pullman authorities will iine when an attempt is made to assume the rights declared to belong to the city.

Davis, industrial commissioner of the Santa Fe road, who has been in this city for several days endeavoring to interest the business people in Pooth-Tucker's colonization plan, left in his private car for Los Angeles, Cal. He said just before leaving that the Santa Fe road had agreed to do all in its power to make the scheme a success and had already given more money toward it than any individual. A Rich Oolil Strike.

Li A. M. MASON, P5fctbcrKt Km. The Murderers of Frank Galbreath Face His Parents and Little Brother In Ft. Scott.

"Columbus, Kansas, Oot.l. --To-day was sentence ju court, aim rstvithnoj'e aiinouneeJ tae penally on t.he largest lot, oiei'imiualsevei-senten-ecci at one time in this state. George as si-nteinred tohitii, and Naney moth'-r, to twenty years iinprisoutuettt, which i. praetif- allv for life, in the case of Ed Maille back, his attorney procured a writ of habeas corpus and had him before Probate Jimo Sapp to test his sanity. He had bi-eu com ict -d of murder in the tirst degree and before Skid-more v.

O'llu sentence him he called in three physicians to obtain tin ir opinion upon tiie question of the sanity of the prisoner. Their decision was that he was insane. Ft. Scott. Oct.

3. A pathetic scene was enactedat the Memphis depot platform this afternoon when the notorious emaculators of the Benders were taken through this city on their way to the penitentary. Judge Skidmorethis morning decided that the Stallleback brother who seemed to be insane was simply feigning insanity and sentenced him to be hung also. Two of the brothers were handcuffed together, the one pretending to be insane as in charge of an officer who held him constantly by the collar, and the mother, a little emaciated old woman, cheaply dressed in bright new clothes, was in charge of another officer. There were eight other convicts in charge of deputy sheriffs, and County Attorney Charles Stevens, formerly of this city, was in company with them.

A crowd of two hundred people had gathered at the depot to seethe Staflle-backs. Many of them were ladies. Among the crowd were Mr. and Mrs. Galbreath, parents of the man whom the Stalllebacks murdered, and their two sons.

The Staflleback's sat and looked ou at the people that seemed almost to crowd the car off the track, and presently the old lady asked an officer to raise the window. She then thrust her head out and addressed the people, de claring that she was going to thepeni-itentary with a clear conscience; that she had never done anything wrong, etc. She talked rapidly and incessantly. Finally a tall manstaudiiig in the outer of the crowd with a bright little boy by his side, raised the boy to his shoulder and called: Auntie! Auntie! look here. She did not hear Mr Galbreath for it was he.

Finally her attention was attracted and he said: "Here, this is Frank Galbreath's little brother; this is the boy whom you robbed of a brother, does he look anything like FrankV and the tears came to the old man's eyes. 1 neversaw Frank Galbreath, the old woman ejaculated I never saw him. He was never at my house." A moment of silence followed and then the officer pulled the window down. While his mother was speaking Ed. Stallleback.

one of the principals in the murder, and who was sentenced to be hung, sat directly in front of her and nervously picked his teeth. The crowd remained around the car until the train pulled out.

The coal miners' strike brought to the public attention some interesting aDd important facts as to the effect of the Wilson Tariff law upon this industry, and upon the miners themselves. The Wilson law reduced the rates of duty on coal front 7o cents per ton to 40 cents per ton. This is just about the amount of reduction in miners' waires, of which complaint was made and emphasized by the strike. President Katchford, of the United Mine Workers' Association, in a communication to the "New York Herald" indicates- that the wages of miners have been reduced since 1893 an average of 30 cents per ton, which is just about the amount of the reduction in duties made by the Wilson law. Curiously this reduction in wages is thus coincident as to time and amount ith the reduction in tariff.

That the reduction in wages was a direct result of the tariff is, however, accurately shown in another equally striking series of facts. Prior to the enactment of the Wilson law. the eastern cities and manufacturing establishments were supplied with coal largely from the Virginia and West Virginia mines. As soon as the Wilson law was enacted, however, coal from Nova Scotia invaded the eastern market, driving out the Virginia and West Virginia product, and compelled the mines of that section to find a market elsewhere. The result was that their coal went west instead of eastas itformerly had done, and with reduced railroad rates was laid down in the markets of Cincinnati, Chicago, and other western cities at such low rates that a coal war, followed by a railroad rate war, was precipitated.

The natural result of this and the reductions in prices which followed was a reduction in the wages of the coal miners, all of which is thus clearly traceable to the Wilson law and its reduction in duties on coal. Happily the new tariff bill restores practically the McKinley law rates, and there is good reason to believe that the miners, as well as other labor-ingmen, are feeling the effects of restored protection and restored prosperity. Zinc The demand for zinc ore increased the price on a few choice lots a half dollar, and the lead went up a dollar and a half. The shipment of lead ore was an increase of cars; but the tine ore shipment was cars less than the prjeedeing week. Compared with the corresponding week of the sales were an increase of 2.1 cars of zinc ore and 22 cars of lead ore.
