Information has been received at the GUS
tom house that several hundred Chinese
are preparing to swarm from across the
British line into the United States ON
May 3. The present lew on that date is
supposed to become inoperative,
and the Chinese are preparing to
take advantage of the opportunity.
Collector Wasson tonight said: 81 have
ordered all customs off GERS on the bound
ary to be on the alert and arrest all
Chinese coming across from British terri
tory. From orders issued by the depart
ment it is evidently the object of the gov
ernment to prevent the immigration of
Chin Sc at all hazards. The law will be
thoroughly tested before we will give up
the battle and allow the entry of Chinese"
Officers are carefully noting the places
of encampment of the Chinese near the
frontier, and gathering evidence pertain
ing to their Chinese citizenship. An extra
force of inspectors will be assigned to duty
near Sumas.

tured near PortLudlow last night by Officers

from the United States stating that Eng
land had intimated a readiness for Joint
conference to bring about the enlarged use
OF silver has caused much surprise in city
circles. No belief is pat in that part of
the report which states that the basis of
the conference was formulated here. Many
kilograms of inquiry have been received
by the London Times, which today says it
Is not easy to see what enlarged use" can
mean. The Times adds: A decided ma
Jority of those competent to judge regard
the issue of notes based ON silver with
great disfavor. A certain amount of
silver could be employed to in
crease the intrinsic value of our
token currency, which at the present
price of metal is over-valued to an extent
considerably greater than is necessary or
desirable, but the general sense of the COM
munity is steadfastly opposed to anything
like an attempt to rehabilitate silver. The
result of the employment of the American
treasury as a pig-silver warrant storehouse
has not been so satisfactory as to encour-
age imitation.
The Daily Neus thinks that such con-
ference would not be likely to attain prac-
tical results. The English delegates, it
says. would have to go into it with their
hands tied. 1t further says that Goschen,
chancellor of the exehequer, cannot well
go beyond the plan already proposed to in
crease the proportion of silver held by the
Bank of England against the notes.

Chicago Blaine Men stiII Hopeful.

CHICAGO, April 23.-The Blaine Club to-
day commenced the circulation in printed
form of a set of resolutions which were
unanimously adopted by the club, reciting
that. while Blaine has declared he is not
candidate for the presidency, nevertheless
the people have rights paramount to
the individual, and that the office
should seek the man. 1t therefore be-
comes the duty of the individual to
ignore personal desires and bow to the
will of the majority. Blaine is extolled as
''the greatest American" and the resolu-
tions declare that there "e1ists wide
spread and universal desire that the stand
ard-bearer shall be the hero of reciproc-
ity." In conclusion the Chicago Blaine
Club urges upon similar clubs through
out the country and upon
citizens who sympathize with the
movement vigorous combined
effort which will result in the nomination
of Blaine, trusting to his loyalty 20 the
party which has honored hin in the past,
to regard for the wishes of faithful friends
and to sense of duty to the country, to
accept the nomination.

TACOMA, April 23.-[Special. THE new
city council met in regular session this
evening, and, owing to the fact that
Mayor Huson would send his first ap-

Mr.. Hill is the retiring president of the

Huson's assistant when he was principal
assistant engineer of the Northern Pacific,
