TO REGISTER BY PHOTOGRAPHY.
In very few days now the Internal Revenu,

In q very few days now the Internal Revenue
Bureau will enter upon its first experience in
registering and photographing all the Chinese
residents of this country, with considerable
misgivings and doubts. Experienced officers
of the Bureau fear that the provisions Of the
latest Chinese exclusion law will be found Al
most impracticable OF execution.
Commencing on Thursday, Sept. 1, every
Chinese in the United States, except the reti-
nue. of the Diplomatic Corps and few recog-
nized merchants. is required to mako an appli-
cation for residence certificate to the nearest
Internal Revenue Collector, describing him
self, his age and occupation, aud proving his
identity by presenting and filing three proof
sheet photographs Of his face. His statements
of fact are to be supported by the afidavits
of two credible witnesses, and upon approval
of this application the Collector is authorized
to issue him certificate emitting him to con-
tinue to reside in this country. Any China
a certificate Of residence between now and the
5th of May next is liable to deportation back to
China
There are 100000 Chinese in the United
States Over 20 900 of these are in California and
5000 in Oregon, and there tho blunt of the en-
forcement of the exclusion act will fall. But
there arc nearly 5000 in New York, 100 in
Pennsylvania. and nearly 1000 in Massachu-
SETS besides 700 in Chicago and nearly 500 in st.
pated. The Internal Revenue people quote tho
ancient saying about the difference between
leading horse to the water and making him
drink. They point out that the obligations Of the
law are discretionary with the Chinese. If they
do not choose to get themselves photog raphed
aud to make their applications within the time
specified the Revenue officials have no power
to compel them. The only penalty is deporta-
ton, which falls under the domain of the At
torney General and the Secretary of the Treas-
ury.
The anticipations of difficulty entertained
BY the Internal Revenue officials seem to be
borne out by the fact that of the $780, 900 appro-
priated in the sundry civil bill to carry out
the law, only 10000 has been allotted by the
Secretary Of the Treasury to the Internal
Revenue Bureau to provide the necessary
deputies to execute the law, while $4,000 has
been retained by the Treasury Department
and Department OF Justice to meet the cost OF
deporting the recalcitrants.

ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND.
Their Coming Reunion at Chickamauga WI
be Largely Attended.

Their Coming Reunion at Chickamauga VIII
be Largely Attended.
The preparations which are being made by
the members of the Army of the Cumberland
who are residents of Washington, to Eeune on
Sept Is, 16, and II, have brought ont some in
formation which will be Of interest to all veter-
ans who served i'm that gallant army. One exam
pie shows that there are 81 900 surviving officers
and non commissioned officers of the 265 regi-
ments and batteries which served in that army.
The names and present postofice addresses of this
whole number have been secured and invita-
tions to the Reunions sent to each. Besides
these, several thousand invitations have been
sent out under the direction of Gen. Rosecrans,
the President of the Society. The list Of OFF,
GERS and n-commissioned officers is accepted
as showing that about $4,000 private soldiers
who served in the Army of the Cumberland, Or
about 100000 in ALL still survive.
The information received by Gen. Rosecrans
indicates that the Chattanooga Reunion will be
one Of the largest army gatherings OF recent
years The brigade of Gen. Wilder alone will
have 200 Of its former mem bers in attendance
to lay the cornerstone of its monument in the
Chickamauga National Park. Gen. Grant, the
Acting Secretary of War, has approved as the
location of this monument point so feet south
of the Widow Glenn's House. which was Gen.
Rosecrans's headquarters on the field. This
imposing structure will be ITO feet high, and
will cost $35, 900.
I All public organizations in Chattanooga have
united to assist in receiving the veterans.
These include the city authorities, the Cham
Der of Commerce, the Board of Trade, the Con-
federate Veterans and a large and influential
local committee. Most desirable hotel. lodg-
ing, and boarding rates have been obtained.
Gen. Alger, the regular orator. being unexpect-
eddy prevented from attending, the annual
Grafton will be delivered by his alternate. Gen.
II. V. Boynton.
The Reunion will close in ample time to al
low the large number who have expressed q
desire to attend the GAR. Encampment at
Washington to do so. Halffare arrangements
have been secured from all directions.

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

The question as to the place of holding the
international Monetary Conferences and the
time the meeting will be called to assemble is
NIL befogged by the cholera news received every
day from Europe. Brussels and Dresden, two
OF the cities suggested for the meeting of the
Conference have probably been placed out of
the question by the outbreak of cholera at Ger
man ports, and Berne, the Swiss Capital, Paris
or London now seem to be the only cities left
90 chose from. Consequently delay beyond
the originally suggested month Of October is a
possibility.
The discrimination by Costa Rica against
vessels and trade of the United States, arising
from rebate allowed heretofore by that country
of five per centum customs duties in favor Of
certain foreign vessels. has at last been re-
pealed through the vigorous action of Secretary
of State Foster. The ground of complaint of
the United States Government having been
removed, the vessels of Costa Rica will here
after be admitted to United States ports with
out the exaction of discriminating duties The
trade between this country and Costa Rica is
quite extensive, and will be considerably in
creased by this action of the Costa Rican Gov
eminent.
Information has been received In Washington
10 the effect that Senior Don Antonio NJ Flores,
recently President of the Republic of Ecuador,

dent OF the Republic. he was at one time
Minister to the United States. and is well
known by the older people Of Washington.
He also represented Ecuador at Paris.

In the PENNSYLVANIA Shops, indianapolis,
Endorsed by the Executive Board OF the
international Machinists.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 12 Tho
executive board of the International
Association of Machinists, indorsed
Friday, the strike of the local lodge
against piece work in the Pennsylvania
railroad shops. This lifts the strike to
the level of the line west of Altoona to
this city and Chicago. If work ordi-
narily beloging to this shop is sent
elsewhere, the machinists there will
refuse to do it. and will walk out If it is
insisted. The national organizations of
the blacksmiths and boiler-makers have
promised to walk out II non-union men
are placed in the shops The reserve
fund of the machinists, amounting to
SOS, 600, has been placed at the disposal
of tho grand officers to sustain the
strike. The idle members draw eight
dollars per week for married, and Eve
dollars per week for single men. The
organized labor of this city has offered
moral and financial aid, if necessary.
The board says every machinist, boiler
maker and blacksmith on the entire
Pennsylvania system will be ordered
out
The Federated Order of the Train
Service have indorsed the strike, and it
is possible they, too, may become in
volved and walk out This would call
out engineers, firemen, conductors,
brakemen and switchmen. 1T is n

FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.

An Outbreak of the Disease in Great Bril-
tain That May NeoeHsitato Prohibition of
Cattle Importation Into This Country by
U. e Authorities.
WAsHINGToN, March 12.-Much un-
easiness is felt by American stock own
ers, and particularly by Secretary
Ruslk, on account of q serious outbreak
of foot and mouth disease in Great
Britain. Many sheep are imported into
the United States from Great Britain,
and as those animals are very SUBJ
ject to the contagion of foot and mouth
disease, it is feared that it will be intro
duced by them into the United States in
spite of quarantine now enforced. If
the disease continues to prevail in Great
Britain 1t will, no doubt, be necessary,
it is said, for the government of the
United States to entirely prohibit the
introduction of cattle, sheep, goats and
swine until the outbreak has been com.
pletely suppressed, The disease does
not exist on the American continent,
and 1t would be national calamity TO
have it introduced, as every animal
that is the least exposed to it becomes
diseased

DEAD MINERS.
The Polico at Anderlues Compelled
to Use Force.
Two Hundred WIN Hardly Cover the AVE-
fui List Of the Dcnd-.Tha Shuclt OF
tho Explosion Was Terriilc-- Many
ritinbio Scenes Witnessed.

BRUSSELS, March Ia. There has been
little if any abatement in the excite.
ment in and about Charlerot, near
which place the appalling explosion oc-
Cured Thurs day morning in the Andcr-
lues colHery. All night long hundreds
of men, women and children have kept
their dreary watch Mt the pit mouth,
hoping for the best, yet almost know
ing their hope was without reason.
Many pitiablc scenes have been wit
messed as wives and children have rec
ognized among the bodies the features
of some dear one, distorted and black
cned by the sheet of scorching flame
that had enveloped them.
The fire caused by the explosion is
still burning in the lower gallery where
the accident occurred. The shock of
the explosion detached huge masses of
wreck and earth aud the galleries are
so blocked with the debris that IL is
impossible to approach nearer than 100
yards to the place whore the great body
of the miners were working Besides
the dirt and rock, the carcasses of forty
horses block the approach to the lower
gallery and these will have to be cut up
and removed before the rescuers can
proceed any further in the direction of
the gallery, where the bodies arc
known to be.
The gendarmes have great difficulty
in preserving even the sem mblancc of
order in the vicinity of the pit mouth.
The crowd of relatives of the miners
are so distracted with grief that the
orders of the gendarmes fall upon deaf
cars, and the latter are compelled to use
gentle force to compel obedience. The
police stationed at tho Office of the min
ing company, which has been transform.
ed into temporary morgue, were not SO
gentle in their dealings with tho crowd.
Many of the mourning relatives made
an attempt to enter the Office and were
forciOly repulsed. Some Of the more
determined in the crowd insisted on be-
ing admitted, and the result was that
several scufles occurred between them
and the pelice Finally, as it was feared
that serious trouble might follow if the
police persisted in refusing admittance
to the building, the doors of the Office
were barricaded to prevent ingress.
The bodies that have been recovered
were covered with a thick, black dust,
which in some instances had been
blown deep in the skin. AS they were
tnlien into the Office they were placed
upon straw that had been spread on
the floor, and tho faces were then clean
ed as far MS possible TO allow of identi-
fication. Many OF the fnces, however.
were entirely unrccognizable-
The fact that some, If not all, Of the
women employed in the mine have met
their death by the explosion will afford
an almost unanswerable argument for
those who oppose female labor in un-
derground employments. Among the
bodies recovered is that of fourteen
ycar-old girl. That she suffered indie
scribahle agony is shown by the young
face. which is so horribly distorted that
it cannot be recognized. The black
ened features are swollen almost be-
yond all semblance to humanity.

AN INFERNO.
Poor Afflicted in the North Brother
Pest House, New York,
Dying for the Lack of Decent Attention
Typhus Patients Dellrious and Tied
Down to Their Cots-Thlrty-two Pa
tients to n Single Attendant.

New York, March 11.-A startling
condition of affairs at the city's pest
house on North Brother island is set
forth by the World with much display.
Two World reporters landed on North
Brother island at midnight Tuesday
night and visited the smallpox hospital,
the typhus fever pavilions the scarlet
fever and measles wards and the lepers'
tent. The reporters went into pavilion
after pavilion and found neither at
tcndants nor doctors, and we're ap-
pealed to for water and assistance by
the neglected patients.
One attendant was found who had
thirty-two typhus fever patients in his
care. Twenty-six of them were in pa
vilion No. 2, four in pavilion No. and
two outside in tent Six of the ty-
phus patients were delirious and were
tied to their cots This attendant very
frankly said that he had more to do
than ten men could attend 20 in the pa
vilion where twenty-six of his patients
lay. If anything went wrong in pavil-
ion No. or in the tent he could not
help it.
A thick fog was blowing over the ISL
and and an intermittent drizzle was
falling. But the windows of the pa
vilions were open and tho wind and
fog swept down on the cots where the
afflicted wretches tossed in feverish de-
lirium. In the quarantine tent for
men fifteen cots had no mattresses
Tho men were lying on the canvas COW
erings with one thin blanket to each
cot for bed clothes In this quarantine
tent there were five persons who did
not even have cots. They made their
beds on chairs and benches.
AS the reporters peered into the lit
tie overflow tent where two patients
lay they stretched out their arms and
cried: Give us something to drink.
For Gods sake get us some water. No
body is looking after u.s." The atten-
ton of the attendant in Pavilion No 8
was called to the sufferers and he said
despairingly: ~ know it. I know it.
But tive of the people in here have just
died and I've got another ono dying. Z
can't be in three places at once"
What do you do with the bodies?"
was asked. "Who helps you remove
them?"
II wake up some of the convalescents
and make them help me-" he replied.
The reporters then discovered by exam
ination OF the dining-room the extraor-
dinary fact that all the attendants in
the various infectious wards and pavil-
ions eat their meals together. Side by
side at the table sit attendants from the
smallpox, typhus, measles and scarlet
fever wards They step from the bed
side of their patients to the common
dining table without fumigation or
change Of clothing.
The reporters asked what was to pre-
vent general spreading and inter
mingling of all the contagious diseases,
and the attendant admitted that there
were no safeguards. He had sat at the
table with q smallpox nurse at his
right and a scarlet fever attendant on
his left and an orderly from the measles
ward across the table. If he carried
germs of these diseases to his typhus
patients ne could not be held RESPONSE.
BILE, he said.
