MONGOLIANS.

A New Phase of the Chinese Question. [Washington dispatch.] Another phase of the Chinese question has been presented to the Treasury Department. A few days ago a party of eighty-six Chinamen arrived at San Francisco. Some of them who had formerly resided in the United States were provided with certificates. prescribed by the act of 1882, but none of them had the certificates required by the supplementary act of 1884 They were not permitted to land, as the United States Courts in California recently decided Chinese can be allowed to land only on the production of evidence required by law, ana that secondary evidence can not be accepted in such cases. The Treasury Department was appealed to for relief. The Secretary has, however, decided not to interfere in the matter, on the ground that it is a question to be settled by the courts. The faculty of Cornell University and the authorities of the town of Ithaca, N. Y., have determined to suppress “canerushes,” and have read the riot act to the participators in the recent “rush.” Hank White, a funny and popular “endman” of a New England minstrel troupe, has been'elected to the Vermont Legislature from the town of Beading.
