CAN TAKE THEIR CHOICE.

Chinese Must Either Register or Go
Back TO the FIowery Kingdom.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Internal Rev
enue Commissioner Mason's attention
was called to the reports in San Francisco
papers to the effect that the Chinese de-
clined TO register until they got word of
advice from the Chinese Minister. Mason
said he had also seen such reports
printed. but his department had not as
yet been advised by any of the Collectors
of Internal Revenue or by any Chinese
officials as to the intentions of the Chi
nese. "If they do not choose to register, !"
said Mr.. Mason, 'we will not quarrel
with them about it, for we will then be
spared a great deal Of trouble and ex-
pense. The Chinese well know the
penalty for their negligence to provide
themselves with certificates. All those
found without them at the date stipulated
will be sent to the Fiowery Kingdom.
There can be no doubt about that"
But would you have funds sufficient
to deport them by the wholesaler"
1--WE would doubtless find the way"
said the Commissioner. 1--WE could send
them in our naval ships or charter ships
especially for the purpose"
Pack them like sardines in box: they
are used to incommodious quarters any
how" said another treasury Official.

NEW YORK, Sept. "a Wall street
journal says: The reason why the Treas
ury thought it wise to transport $50, zoe. 900
in gold from California to New York has
transpired, 1t has been known that for
some time foreign buyers of gold were
willing to pay a premium for American
coin, partly because it had not been in
circulation and was full weight. 1t was
worth more to sell by weight than the
coins of Europe. 1t evidently occurred to
somebody at the Treasury Department.
that the disposition to take American
gold would be checked to some extent if
the coins were not quite as heavy. The
California coin, having been in circula-
ton, naturally suffered most by abrasion
and, therefore, was best TO tender to the
exporter. The result appeared in the
first shipment, which ranged from .07 to
% of an ounce light on each 5000 and on
