the Geary Bill.
SAN FHANcisco. March 17.-As the time ap-
proach.s for the enforcement OF the Genry
Chinese act there is much interest in the
course the seventy-lve thousand Chinese on
this coast will pursue. 1t has been assumed
TINT the Chinese would oppose registration. as
the Six Companies some time ago issued a
proclamation forbiddine any OF their mem.
bers to register and ordering each to pay one
dollar to fight the new law. which. it was de-
clared. was unconstitutional. The Companies
have obtained in this way 100000 which Is to
be given to Attorney Riorden OF San Francis
CO. who will go to New York. and with the aid
Of Joseph II. Choate and other prominent
Eastern lawyers will attempt to defeat the act
by appeal to the Supreme Conrt. The method
will DO to have Chinaman in New York ar
rested on May . and taken before Federal
Judge. who will be asked to deport him at

taken TO the United states supreme Court.
Collector Quinn gives some unpublished
facts in regard TO this uuestto which are in
terestlng as showing the di differences OF opin-
lon among Chinese Oh the Geary law. Quinn
Thus far tire registration OF Chinese has not

Quinn said he fslt confident that the act
would be declared constitutional. The action
OF the Chinese secret societies in oheying the
law is due largely to Lyman l. Mowry. who has
horn their attorney for years. Mowry has more
influence with these societies than any other
white man. He says that the act is constitu-
tional and that the Chinese must obey il or be
depGrted.
"Some have said" he added. that the act
Is unco Institutional. because il is violation OF
certain provisions OF the treaty now existing
between this Government and China. but that
is not so. A treaty and an act OF Congress are
OF the same force and effect. and us the Gearv
act was passed since the treaty was signed. II
Is in force. and provisions in the treaty con-
trary to IL are now null aud void. The Supreme
Court may hold. and / think 1t will. that tho

fraudulent elections have never taken
