CORBETT MAKES HIS DEBUT,
And Shows Signs of Becoming Something
of Actor.

And Shows Signs of Becoming Something
of an Actor.
James j. Corbett, champion of America,
began his career as dramatic star at EliZ-
abeth, n. J., last night. The play in which
he made his debut was a fve-act comedy
drama by Charles T. Vincent, entitled
"Gentleman Jack" The Temple opera
house was packed to the doors by the "bon
ton" of the town, and the champion received
a rousing reception. As an actor Corbett
is, considering his antecedents, fair sue
cess and credit to his tutor.
Play of Literary Merit.
The champion spoke his lines and made
his entrances and exits like old timer,
and with more coaching and experience,
will be able TO act well enough to satisfy
his patrons Unlike most pieces written
for pugilists the play of Gentleman Jack"
was not written around the champion, but
is of tolerable plot and some literary merit,
and bids fair to become financial success.

The Chinese Restriction Act.

1t would seem that the latest Chinese re-
strction act is a dead letter. The law was
passed on May last, and required that within
one year from that time all Chinese laborers
within the United States should take out regis
tration papers before the Collector of Internal
Revenue Of their respective districts, and fur
nish photographs of themselves for identifca-
ton. On the 9Th of July the Internal Revenue
Department issued its forms of application for
registry to all the officers having Chinese
laborers in their districts and distributed
warnings in Chinese throughout all the Chinese
quarters.
Up TO Nov. 81 only FIVE Cinnamon in the
whole country had registered, and they were
IN Oregon. According TO Census figures there
are over 10000 Chinese in the country, al
though it is believed that these figures fall far
short Of the truth. The only penalty for fail
ure TO comply with the law is deportation back
to China. At a very moderate estimate it
would cost the Government $I0,7500 900 to
transport them all. 1t is the duty of the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury and the Attorney GEN
erai TO carry out this program. There is $780,
900 set aside for the purpose. The additional
sum must be appropriated by the next Congress
If the law is 10 be carried out by the 5th of
May. for it is evident that the Chinese residents
Of the United States do not intend TO comply
with its provisions.

Hawaii and the United States.

At recent meeting the Cabinet of Hawaii
was asked a series of questions by the native
members of the Cabinet as to whether the Cab
met intended to negotiate new reciprocity
treaty with the United States; whether there
WAS any intention of making a disposition of
Pearl Harbor by the cession of the lease, and if
1t was proposed to send an envoy to Washing
ton in the negotiation of any new treaty.
Their questions were answered by Minister
Wilcox. who said it was the desire of the Cabi-
net to establish closer relations with the United
States, and that while no treaty or draft of a
treaty has yet been under consideration by the
new Cabinet, in negotiation of any treaty,
should the Government of the United States so
request the Hawaiian Cabinet would favor
granting to the United States the exclusive
right to enter the harbor of Pearl River, and
the right to establish and maintain there a
coaling and repair station for the use of YES
sells of the United States.
On the same day the Cabinet outlined their
policy, which they stated would be to main
tain the autonomy and independence of the
Kingdom; to promote closer commercial rela-
tions with the United States to assist in the
passage of the laws that will tend to relieve
the present need of labor to carry on SUCCESS
fully the agricultural interests of the King
dom; to administer the Government econom-
ically, and to promote the agriculture and
other interests with such legislation and Pc
cnniary assistance as possible.

ExterminatOr of the Da1tOns.

81 was in Coffeyvlle, Kan. the other day, y
said Travelling Salesman Will Prentiss, in Wash
ington. the other day, land found the sensa-
tional fight with the Dalton gang still occupy
ing the minds of the people to the exclusion OF
pretty much everything else.
The hero of that fight, who shot three of
the outlaws, and hit each Of them in the head,
has lost good deal of the credit due him on
account of an error in sending out his name.
The wires made out that the name Of the re-
markable manipulation of Winchester on that
occasion was John Speer, or Spear. Well it
amt. His name is John Kloehr, and he fairly
owns Coffeyvile at present.
At this safe distance | may say that Mr..
Kloehr is crank on ri file shooting and always
has been. Before the tragedy ho did little
else than practice and he used to delight in
looking out for rats and shooting their heads
off as they were running. Indeed Dr. Carver
can hardly surpass him in craftsmanship
Emmett Dalton, whose arm was shattered
by bullet, is rapidly getting well, and will
probably be able to stand trial at the next term
of the court. The impression exists in CofIey-
vile that powerful remnants of the gang still!
exist. and there is consequently quiet expec
tation of more trouble.
"A funny thing was told me while there
There is great deal of sympathy for the Dial
tons in most of the towns near Coffeyvile
These colonies put forward the remarkable
argument that the Daltons only robbed banks
while the banks rob everybody else. But you
can't be surprised at anything you meet in
Kansas, from its water to its politicians"

A Gcorcia Exodus.

great and sudden exodus of the white set
tiers of northwestern Georgia to Texas is now
in progress. The emigrants are in some in
stances old people, but most of them are young
and middle aged farmers with their families.
These are moving because for the last three or
four years their crops have been very bad, and
they could not meet their obligations. They
have had to mortgage what little they had as
security to landlords and merchants who fur
nished them with supplies. From many every
thing has been taken away; so they are all
going to Texas to better their condition,
