Mrs. Townsend Will Make Wer Perma- nent Residence in Washington. Mrs. Townsend, the daughter of the late Representative Scott of Pennsylvania, intends to continue Ker permanent home in this city, and has been looking at the residence of the late Gen. Myer, Farragut Square and I street, with tho view of buying it. . ‘There are some changes which she wonld Iike to have made in the interior and she bas plans under consideration. It is understood that the price asked for the property is $200,000. The agent of the conclusive arrangements have been reached in regard to the sale of the property. SSE GETTING THINGS IN ORDER. Putting the New York Avenue Charch in Readiness for the Assembly. Today the workmen took possession of the New York avenue church, and began to prepare the building for the great meeting of ministers and laymen which will begin there on Thuraday. The general assembly of the Presbyterian churh is to be in session thero for ten or twelve dnys and as it is to be a business sion which will be participated in by some 600 men it is necessary that proper facilities should be provided. An ordinary church ix de- signed for another purpose and the New York Avenue is no exception to the rule. However, the trasiees, who ars a vom- mittee appointed for this purpose, propose to provide all needed conveniences. In the first ace ali the carpets will be covered with linen, both upstairs and down stairs, The will be for the use of the commissioners when they are not attending the sessions. Here will be iocated the telegraph and telephone offices, the post office, information bureau and every- thing of that character. A frame strucure has | been built on the south side of the church | where toilet rooms ure located. In the nudi- |torinm the two front rows of pews are to ke taken out to allow space for the clerks, the re- porters, &e. The exterior of the church has ‘been freshened up with new paint, and the old ebarch looks as if it was prepared for the gala occasion. ALL THE COMMITTEES AT WORK. All the various committees are completing the odds and euds of their work; at least, all that can be done before the commissioners arrive. It is expected that the commissioners will begin to come in on Wednesday. The clerk of the assembly, Rev. Dr. Robert, will reach here tomorrow and have everything in readi- ness by the time the assembly meets. In ad- dition to the position which he holds, Dr. Koberts is spoken of in connection with the nomination for moderator, which will be the first business that will come before the assem- bly. The rear! session on Thursday morning will be devoted to religious services and the sermon of the moderator. In the afternoon the | assembly will hear the roll of those entitled | ator will be in order. Of course it is not | known exactiy who will be named for this | honor, but among those whom it is thought will be nominated are Rev. Dr. Willis G. Craig of Chicago, Dr. Roberts, the stated clerk, and .Rev. Dr.’ Charles A. | Dickey of Philadelphia. There is a ‘certain advantage in for this pinee for like those who run for the speakership of the House of Hepresentatives the defeated ones are considered when the | elected moderator. appoint the retiring moderator chairman of the It has been the custom to mittee. The committee on bills and overtures probably ranks next in importance to \the judiciary committee. Then comes the committee that have to do with the various boards of the church, and they ranked in ac- cordance with the standing of the board. The Doard of foreign missions stands first, then the home mission board. &c. After the commit- | tees are appointed the assembly is ready for | business. a Charges Denied. In the case of W. Danerhower et al. agt. W. L.

Se Any man who saw the crowd around Secre- | tary Hoke Smith's office today could not wonder that the Secretary had been driven to horveback riding to escape his pursuers. | On the contrary it would seem a wonder | that he has not chosen a balloon or eallei upon ~? Langley for his flying machine. There in the Secret y, | crowd was eager, intense and perspiring. Secretary Smith is probably in a position now to feel with the man who sighed for a lodge House earlier in the season ubout the crowds that beset the President and laugh at his predicament, But he knows what it is himself | now. . ‘THE PRESSURE For orrrcr. The pressure for o'tice is always heavy on the Seerétary of the Interior because he con- trols so many desirable ‘appointments in the Indian service, the general lund oitice, the geo- ological survey'and the pension bureau, ‘Luere is great scramble for these places and each of fice has many applicants. It would be hard to find, however, a man who ix more good natured ‘or more accessible to the crowd of office seekers than Secretary Smith and he bears his burden with patience. Yet there isa limit to endurince and Score. tary Smith has renched it, He bas found that the publis service is_liabie to suffer by reason of the demands made upon his time by oftice procedure which was promulgated today and will go into effect immediately. THE NEW PLAN OF PHOCEDURI Hereafter applicants for appointment to places above the classified service’ will be re- ferred first to the head of the bu- reau under which the office ta located, as the Secretary will not make the appointment without consulting the commissioner of that particular bureau, Ap- plicanta for positions below the classified ser- vice will consult the chief of the appointment division, This division of labor witl not only relieve the secretary of a great deal of uanecessary interruption from the daily duties of his of but will give the Indian ioners, the laud commissioners, the comm: | pension commissioners and the heads et other ureaus an opportunity to take a part in the seléttion of their subordinates, for whom they will be reaponsible. Secretary Smith thinks this plan will not | only expedite the public business, but will be | of benefit to the applicants themselves by bringing their cases toa head quicker. It is not proposed to shut the Secretary's door in the face of official callers, for they will be received from 10 to 12 o'clock. LIEUT. LEMLY’S CASE. The Order for Him to Join Hie Battery Re- voked. Before leaving for New York Saturday even- ing Secretary Lamont revoked the order pre- viously issued by him ordering Licut. Henry R. Lemly, third —_ artillery, to rejoin his battery. Lieutenant Lemly will therefore remain on leave of absence in the service of the Columbian gov- |ernment. The Secretary's action is based on the belief that there is nothing in the case of Lieut. Lemly in violation of the spirit, or letter of +~—the _ statutes | prohibiting the employment of army officers outside of the service. Ho ie supported | in this belief by the fact that the contract en- tered into by Lemly with the Coiumbian govern- ment received the sanction of Congress and Otherwise it would be of no eifect whatever. Lieut. Lemir, who is now in _ this city, will return to Chicago and re- sume his duties for the Columbian | governmert in connection with the construc- | tion of their building and the preparation of their exbibit. No action has yet been taken in the ca: | Capt. Rossell, but the impression is growing that nis leave of absence will be revoked on the ground that it was granted in violation of the spirit of the law regulating such matters, See SECLUSION AND WORK. ‘What the President Devoted Himself to To- day. ‘The President devoted himself today to se- | clusion and to work. The only visitor he saw was ment and who was alone with him for some time. Even the members of the cabinet refrained from calling. At 1 o'clock the President went to the east room to shake hands with the visitors who assembled on ublic reception day to pay their respects. Fhere wore several hundreds there to sbaks hands with him, among them a large party of Associations of Maryiand. Before going down to have his hand shaken the eight applications for pardon which he bad ex~ amined during the morning and passed upon. Two of these pardon cases were in the District of Columbia, ‘The first, that of Henry Hurley, senteuced for ninety days on February 25 last for gambling, was denied. 4 PARDON GRANTED. The other case, that of Henry Johnson, sen- tenced in the District of Columbia February 2, 1893, to 180 day for carrying concealed weapons, the pardon was granted. ‘This was a case of a man employed as watchman at the tank of the Washington Gas- light Company, who of plead guilty to th in ignorance of the defence which that he is not disposed, as a rule, to interfere in such cases, He save that be is in entire sympathy with all efforts to enforce th law against ‘the carrying of concealed weapons, and does not intend often to | interfere with the punishment inflicted for that offense, but that the circumstances in this particular case lead him to graut the pardon. For the time being the new country house will be the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland and the President will be there except during office hours during the day. He will drive in to the White House every morning and at the end of | the day's work will retarn to his country resi- dence. MRS.

Ragland, against |S.

The grounds upon which the suit was based were explained tothe jury by Mr. George E, Hamilton, Mrs, f Ragland, to be 20," 1891, the plain- tiff, who was then Miss Fannie C. O'Hare, | Was making prenarations for her mar- |riage, which occurred the 2nd of the [following month. ‘To ake some purchases | she had made an appointment with her eister to | meet her in the reception room of the Boston House. She met ber sister and they went | over to the silver counter. While they wero |looking at articles on that counter, they were ;tudely taken by Charles E. Flinders, a private | detective in the employ of the firm, to | small room, whore he accused ‘her of stealing a diamond ring and passing it to her sister, In their room they were called thieves and rudely searched, first by Flinder and then by the matron of the place. Her dress was opened at the bosom, and Flinders inserted his hand in a pretended seareb for the missing artigley. ‘Tho man also attempted to search hor underclothing. Mr. Hendricks, the superintendent, was called in, He told them he had nothing to do j1n the matter, und then the matron was called in, Mr, Hendricks left, but Flinders remained | while the matron made a more thorough search of them. MUS. RAGLAND'S -TEBTIMONY. Mrs, Ragland, who was the first witness eatlod, | made a statement substantially like that of Mr. | | Hamilton in opening the case, She said that | | the missing arucles were not found |upon either witness or upan her sis- ter, and after being detained in the room for 13¢ hours they were allowed to go. ‘They wére ‘told that the affair would not be | made peblic, but that they must never enter the store again. Witness und her husband now resided in Richmond, and once #ho was addressed on the street there by Flinders, who told her he was sorry for the trouble ‘that be had caused | her. She, of course, never tock the alleged missing ‘articles, ‘She had been made ivery nervons, accounts of the affair} [had been published, and the mutter (had been disonsed by ‘her friends and ac- | quaintances and by the public, greatly to her | annoyance, While deained tn the room they | | were not allowed to communicate with any of their relatives or friends, ‘To Mr. H.

Miss O'MARE's TESTIMONY. ‘Miss O'Hare resumed the stand after recess and gave testimony like her sister, After the matron had searched them to the skin Flinders left the room, and the matron said a mistake | bad been made. After that Flinders and Hendricks came back ‘and the room was searched, ‘The rackages she and her sister had with them were also searched, Both Mr, Hendricks and Flinders said the affair wonld not be made public, Hor sister on reaching home, she said, was extremely ner- yous and almost prostrated, She had since remained in a nervous state. Whenever the subject was mentioned her sister was made very nervons, She did not \CHINESE EXCLUSION al anything, nor did she see her sister take anything. a ICE AND CO-OPERATION, A Movement on Foot to Start a Co-Opera- Company. The recent communications which have ep- peared in Tux Stax, urging the establishment of a co-operative ice company to oppose the alleged trust which the old companies are said to have made to keep up prices, have borne fruit in the shape of actual steps for | the starting of such a company. A New York capitalist has agreed to organize such @ com- | pany at once, with the pledge that a good qual | ity of ice shall be furnisned subscribers seven |days in the week at a price not | to exceed twenty-five cents per hundred. | The provision on which he agrees to do this is | that 3,000 citizens shall have previously obli- | gated themselves to take each a share of the stock at 5 per share. A paper to thia ef-| fect is now being signed at Thompson's drag | store, on 15th street. The paper reads: | "To all whom it taay concern: ‘Bo it known, that if any responsible party will organize a co-operative ice company in Washington, that will give the necessary awurance that it will furnish to it* shureholders on each and jevery day during tne en-ning six months | |a good guality of iceata charge not over 25/ cents per 100 pounds, then we, the subscribers, do hereby ol e and bind ourselves that we will each one of us purchase one share of the | stock of said eompany and pay therefore the | | While this plan seems to have made a practi- | Jeal start toward accomplishment, there are | | many who look on the suggestion with coldly critical eye.

At Was Read for the United States Supreme Court by Justice Gray —A Dissenting Opinion by Justice Brewer—Many Distin- guished Persons Present in the Court Room. pemicee me The Chinese exclusion, cares that came up before the Supreme Court on an appeal from the decision of the circuit court of the south- ern district of the state of New York were de- | cided today. ‘The decision in these cases, which involved primarily the question of the’ coustitationality of the Geary ect, sustained tho action of the New York court und consequently affirmed the constitutionality of the act. The cnses were those of three New York Chinamen two ofwhom had failed to apply to the collector of internal revenue for the necessary certifi- cates which would allow them to remain in this country, ‘The third Chinaman applied for his certificate, but he failed to bring forward ‘one credible white | witness,” as the law demanded. Hin witnesses were of his own nattonailty, and the co! refused to accept their story of the facts in con- nection with the man’s residence fu this eoun- ry. A chown oF srzcratons. With the knowledge that the decision in these very important oases would probably be rendered today the court wus filled with interested spectators when the mom- bers of the court filed into their sents at noon, The Attorney General, ex-Justice Strong, Solicitor General Aldrich, Senator Dolph, Senator Pagh, Seuator Cock- Tell, geverat members of the diplomatic corpsand many other well-known gentiemen were in tho ‘crowd and waited patiently for the decision, A number of other cases were tirst disposed of, some of them quite im- Portant and with lengthy decistons, so that {t was about 12:30 when the Chinese cases were renched, ‘The decision was rendered by Justice Gray, who took rather more than a half hour im the delivery, He stated that as & result of the tremendous pressure of mutter attendant upon the last days of the sessions of the Supreme Court the de- clston as rendered might possibly fail to touch Upon all the steps involved, although the cases had received the closest attention from the court, He would, at @ later date, fle with the court a written and more extensive decision going over all the points in more detail, Ina general way the decision as % the constitutionatity of the Geary act was based ou the {uberent right of an independent, sovereign power, in time of as well ae in time of war, to exclude ite territory Whomeoever it might deem fit aud proper, At the conclusion of the reading of the de- cision, Justice Brewer read « lengthy statement of the reasons that led him to dissent from the decision. ‘ MAIN POINTS oF THE DECIRION, Justice Gray said in announcing the judg- ‘ment of the comrt that the power of this nation to restrict or probibit the immigration of any aliens into the country or to require such aliens already im the country to removehere from ware well settled of international Iaw and was confirmed by an unbroken line of decisions in this court, ‘The legislative power of the gov- ernment hed not transcended any of {1s consti- tutional limitations in the act under consideration. It was within its power to determine the regulations under which these alfens should be permitted to remain in the United States or failing to observe there regulations, they should be reqaired to leave the 3 country, visions of Bec tion @ of the act which are the part of the law particularly at {esue, were not inconsistent with the reiations and dutios of the legisintive and judicial departments of the government, The mode of paocedure sot forth in the section ure similar to that in other well-established proceedings such asthe habeas ments of citizenship and the like, in which the judicial branch of ihe government ac- cepted the determination of the executive upon the questions involved. As to the requirements that the Chinese remain in this country should establish that Tight by the evidence of one credib!o white witness, Justice Gray enid that it was within the power of the legislature to de- termine the charcter of evidence that might be received in a caso at law, and what force abouid be given to the testi- mony so offered. Not discussing the wisdom nor the Justice of the act in question, which was beyond the province bf the judi branch of the government, it mained only to say that of the circu re- the judgment it court for the southern district of New York in refusing togrant writs of habeas corpus to the several petitioners was affirmed. Mr. Justice Gray stated that it bad been im- Porsibie in the brief time elapsing sines the ring of the argument upor the petitions to prepare in writing the opinion of the court, it would be filed as soon ns it was possible. Mr. Justice Brewer disrented. THREE DISKENTING VIEWS, At the conclusion of Justice Gray's opinion, Justice Brewer announced that he felt co: pelled to dissent from the view of the majori of the court. He read his views at some length, declaring in substance that the act of 1892 was unconstitutional, and that if it were upheld there was no guarantee that similar treatment might not be accorded to other { classes of our population than the Chinese. Justice Field, who delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States in the first case under the exclu- sion act, also read w dissenting opinion. He held that there was a wide difference be- tween exclusion cf immigrants and the tion of alien residents, and he characterized the act in the strongest language as inhuman and bratal; and as violative of the constitution in every section. He regret the decision of the court was to his mind franght wit gravest dangers to the price- less constitutional liberties of the peopie. Chiet Justice Fuller also diseented from the opinion of the court. What Trensury Officials Say. Ths first information that the Supreme | Court hnd decided the Geary law to be constitutional was carried to most of the offi- Treasury Department by a re- to say that | = | ever, hands of the ‘Treasury Department of 216,806. On the lst of Jaly there will, how- be an additional $50,000 available, but 8 only 140 Chinese were Geported after an expenditure of 253,806, it will be eeen how totally inadequate the appropriation was to carry the law into effect. Of the sixty-six districts in which the regis tration of the Chinese was possible, thirty-fi have made returns, showing a total regi: tration of 8.169, bat as some of the districts in which there is the greatest number of Chinese have not as yet been heard from it would hot be safe to estimate the total num- ber of Chinese who have registered on this basis. The last returns which the Treas uury officials bave indicated thet the total num- ber of Chinese in the United States is 110,000. Delay in Nominating a Chinese Minister, It is said that the delay of President Cleve- land to nominate « minister to China in due to the fact that he Probable | rupture in diplomatic relations ween this country and China which would result, if an attempt was made to carry theGeary law into eifect. Itis understood that Gen. Bragg of Wisconsin is slated for the piace, but owing to the condition that exists | since the decision of the Supreme Court, it is doubtful whether Chine would accept a re) sentative from the United States. i According to the inst statistics of the bureau of statistics, the imports from China during the year ending June 30, 1892 were $4,551,560 of dutiable goods and 815,936,431 of goods entitled to entry free of duty, or a total of $20,435,291. The exports during the same pertod amounted to 85,663,471.
