Resolved, That the members OF Richardson

OF The DAILY MORNING CALL for commencing
ON the 22d inst. an antlcigarette crusade for the
purpose OF calling the attention OF the community
and OF tile Chief OF Police TO The open violation,
by nearly all The retail tobacco. dealers In San

10, 1891 which forDids the sale of OF the giving
or furnishing 10 person under the age OF 10
years tobacco IN any form.
ResotUed, That we heartily congratulate them
upon lie great success which has crowned their
uisinierested efforts during the past few days in
Inducing so many retail tobaccodealers To con-
splcuousy display in their stores In large letters
The following sign: mo Cigarettes Sold 10
Boys Under tile Age OF 16 Years"
hesotUed, That we earnestly aud respectfully
suggest that as The CALL is read Ia so many
thousand homes series OF articles be prepared
and published forefbly presenting the evil eff
feets OF the tobacco habit on the mental and
bodily condition OF all youth.
Reso{ced, That We believe the publication of
such articles will dissuade very many boys here,
and throughout the other portions OF the State
from further indulgence, and prevent large num-
bers OF boys from ever contracting so disagree
able and banelul u habit.

CHINESE BRITISHERS.
Collector Phelps Says He Will Refuse
Them Landing.

Them Landing.
EITHER the writer Of this dispatch has
erred or the Eastern customs officers have
in admitting those Chinese" declared Col
leetor Phelps yesterday. after reading
dispatch from Montreal to the effect that
three Cinnamon had been admitted into the
United States after becoming British citi-
zens. The dispatch stated that the Chinese
had been admitted as British subjects, in the
requirements OF the treaty between Canada
and the United States, that provides that all
British subjects, regardl ess OF race, creed
and color. may have free access into the
United States, and that American citizens
shall have the same privilege in Canada. 1t
also came TO the mournful conclusion that,
as British subjects, the Chinese can flood
America
No Chinese can gain admission here on
showing their British citizenship. Chinese
are Chinese always. whether they are Brit
lsh or Mexican subjects, and the law of
May, 1882, as amended July ), 1854 provides
In Its fifteenth section that the Scott ex-
clusion act shall be In force for ten years
against all subjects Of China and Chinese,
whether subjects OF China or any other for
eign power. and IL that Is not conclusive
enough would like to know what is
mo Chinese can come here and demand
strength alone of his being British subject
or any other subject. without being refused
landing without Quibblipg. AMI if Canada
naturallZes Chinese. they do IL In defiance of
our laws and after the treaty was passed,
and we cannot be expected to pass Chinese
on account OF a treaty when we have
especially leglslated against them"

WILSON WAS ABSOLVED.
The Senator VIII EetaIn the EIwert
Retaining Fee.

The Senator VIII Retain the Elwerts'
Retaining Fee.
1T appears 10 me that the plaintiffs be-
lleye themselves 10 have been injured by
the defendant somehow, but they are not
advised exactly how"
So said Justice of the Peace Cook yester-
day, and as anticipated he gave Judgment
for the defendant in the case of Mrs. +. and
Miss Carrie Elwert against Senator j. y. L.
Wilson to recover $3.50. which they claimed
he should notil equity and conscience retain.
His Honor was Of opinion that the case
turned on the construction to be given to
the writing on which the suit Is based and
which he construed 10 declare that the
money was received as general retainer
Said he:
Il understand a retainer to be fee paid
an attorney in advance by the litigants. not
only TO secure the attorneys services in the
future In behalf Of the litigantS, but also
and principally to prevent him being en-
gagged on the opposite side. IL this be so,
II Is obvious that this retainer or retaining
fee having been paid once cannot be recov-
cred back; not only on the ground that il is
voluntary payment, but also principally
on the ground that the consideration is per-
feeted and the contract performed by the
acceptance OF the fee. There is nothing
further to be done except TO attend to the
clients business as il comes up
This case might end here but am not
inclined to eoDfne my decision to such a
narrow compass. / iud that the plaintiffs
have failed to make out any case against
the defendant alleged in either complaint"
On the contrary. thought the Justice, the
services rendered are reasonably worth
$500, and were cross-complaint on file he
would have deemed il his duty to have
given judgment for an additional $3.50, but
as Mr.. Wilson merely set up his services by
way of cOunter-ciaim his whole claim nf
$500 was set off against theirs for $3.50.
Moreover. the Elwerts repudiated the
agreement sued on and thus absolved him
from any further obligation under IT,
