And stiii more significant is the fact
that all of these frauds obtained

That hundreds ot similar cases will

here. Judge l.ochren is of thcopin

without depriving any man of what

A number of prominpt.t democrats,
headed by lleprescntalivo Hyuum,
ot Indiana, are endeavoring to per
siiado President Cleveland to call
ho extra r-tssion in June, instead of
September. I'hc argument ot these
gentlemen is that September is the
most unhealthy month of the year
in Washington, 111ah1riabei.1gwor.se
than at any other time. They iay
that if (.'.ingress comes together in
June the House can crlect its or
g.iniz .tion and the committees gel
down to work before tho hottest
weather of the summer comes and
then a recess can be taken to the
lirsl ol ( etober, escaping tho mala
ria! season.
Tho coiistitt.lionalit y of the Geary
Chinese exclusion act is now before
tho Supremo Court, which heard tho
arguments this week und will prob

He finds that about 5.000 crates of

from these have been about ill per
