LONDON. Sept. 28-In an article pub
Iished to-day Mr.. Redmond, leader of the
Parnellite faction, approves the home rule
programme of Isaac Butt. Mr.. Redmond

nIa-New Exclusion Law.

WAsmNaToE, August 22.-Ten days from
now the internal revenue bureau will enter
upon its first experience in registering and
photographing all Chinese residents in this
country. With many misgivings and
doubts experienced officers of the depart
ment fear that the provisions of the latest
exclusion law will be found almost imprac-
ticable of exclusion. Commencing on the
1st of September every Chinese in the
United States, except the diplomatic corps
and a few recognized merchants, is required
to make application for residence certif-
cate TO the nearest internal revenue col
lector, describing himself, his age and
occupation, and proving his identity by
presenting and filing three proof-sheet pho
tographs Of his face. His statements Of
facts are to be supported by aflidaYits Of
two creditable witnesses, and upon APP
proval of these applications the collector
is authorized to issue to him a certificate
authorizing him to continue TO reside in
this country. Any Chinaman who fails TO
provide himself with such certificate Of
registration between now and the 1st Of May
next is liable to deportation back TO China.
There are I07 900 Chinese in the United
States over 10000 Of these are in CalifOr-
MIA and 5000 in Oregon, and there the
brunt Of the exclusion act will fall. But
there are nearly 1000 in New York over
1000 in Pennsylvania, and nearly 1000 In
Massachusetts,, besides 700 in Chicago and
500 in st. Louis, where no slight difficulty
is anticipated. Internal revenue people
quote an ancient saying about the differ
ence between leading horse to the water
and making him drink. They point out
that the obligations Of the law are discre-
/ tionary with the Chinese If they do not
choose to go themselves to the
| photographers and to make their ap-
! plications within the prescribed time,
the revenue officials have no power TO
compel them. The only penalty is deport-
alton, which falls under the domain Of the
attorney general and secretary of the treas.
ury. The anticipation of difficulty enter
tanned by the internal revenue officials
seem to be borne out by the fact that Of
the 100000 appropriated in the sundry
civil bill to carry out the law, only $4,000
has been allotted by the secretary of the
treasury TO the internal revenue bureau 10
provide the necessary deputies to execute
the law, while $40 900 has been returned by
the treasury department and the depart
ment Of justice to meet the cost Of depOrt-
ing recalcitrants.
