CHINESE REGISTRATION.

Tho Celestials Beginning to Pay Some
Attention to tho Law.
Things have been very quiet around
the internal revenue Office lately. Every
one wears patient look, and is fully
resigned to the inevitable falling of the
Democratic ak.
"You will be surprised" remarked
Judge McKeeby, sat the way John
Chinaman is acting toward the registra-
ton acf. When we had large number
OF deputy collectors securing the country
for John. and trying to get him to regis
ter, he only remarked: All lite; by em
by Gomez and would pay no attention
to the collectors. But now that they
have been taken off, John begins to get
uneasy. Already large numbers OF
Cinnamon have called at the Office to
ascertain something in regard to the
new law. 1t seems probable that just
before the time for registering expires
in May all of them will make rush for
the office to get themselves in Uncle
Sans list of chinaware."

HAVE IT MEET HERE.
THE VALUE OF THE TRANs-MISsIs.
sIPPI CONGRESS.
What the Meeting Has Accomplished in
the Past-The Importance of Hav-
ing the Next Session In
Los Angeles.

DR.. and Mrs. M. N. Graves from Og-
den are in the city, stopping at the Hol-
lenbeck. The doctor is city physician
of the city of Ogden, and an all round
western man with broad views.
"Yes." said the doctor in answer to a
question of the reporter, 1--WE expect a
large attendance at the next session of
the trans-Mississippi congress to be
held in our city in May. You see it is
getting to be the mouthpiece of the
west in making our wants known to the
law makers at Washington, and has a
hreat influence in shaping and, in fact,
making prosperity for the great west.
Galveston got her deep water harbor
that way ,her $6,000,000 appropriation
and thousands of farmers in Kansas and
the southwest got cheap outlet for
their products to Europe and elsewhere
on the ocean, instead of paying tribu te
to railroads, all the way to New York.
While that harbor might have been
made some day. it was in this way that
it was given to the present generation,
and that is what the western man. if ne
knows himself, is working for. Up in
Ogden we take hand in all that is GO
ing on--like Chicago, nothing is too
good for us. So when it was decided to
bring the next session of this congress
west of the Rockies, some of our best
and brainiest men were there and cap
tured it,"
"You should have them select Los
Angeles for the next session."
us it not too far from the center of
the west?" asked the reporter
"That cuts no figure" was the reply.
"New Orleans had it once, and made
the most prominent question the i'm
provement of the Mississippi. New
Orleans is as far away from the center of
the west as Los Angeles is.
There are many reasons why this
city should meet with favor with the
delegates in selecting the place for the
next session. There would be no
trouble in having the time fixed for
January or February, if the congress
was favorable to this city. On account
of your climate and splendid city, dele
cations, it seems to me. would prefer to
come here. know would, and if this
city is selected there will be larger
delegation from Ogden to attend the
next congress here than would attend
at any other city know of.
Our national congress meets in a
city not as nice as Los Angeles and as
far from the center of the United States.
/ should think that there was consid-
erable number of representative people
there now from all the % transmits
sissippi states and territories. So you
see it would be natural for them to want
to come here to attend session of the
congress.
"From my experience on public COM
mittees in my city. want to say that
more is accomplished by enterprise than
many people think. See your own ad.
vantages, and other people will see
them; present them and promote them
that's the way to do business.

MAKING BooMERANGs.
King Bill and His Queen Hard at Work
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
"King Bil'' and his wife, otherwise
called "gin" in native dialect, were
engaged in making boomerangs when a
HERALD reporter visited these strange
people yesterday with Mr.. A. r. Cum
ningham, the proprietor of the show.
The troupe is quartered on San Pedro
street, and are objects of great curiosity
to the people of that neighborhood. One
of the aborigines was found lying upon
bed taking an afternoon map" He
had not removed even his shoes
or hat. They were all dressed
in cheap secondhand "hand me down
suits," which did not fit them like paper
on the wall nor in any other manner.
They did not seem at home in clothing,
and apparently longed for the costume
of their native jungles-next to nothing.
They relish American food, and say
that it is great improvement upon
that of their own wild country, espec-
tally over the snakes and lizards which
are eaten of necessity when they can
get neither fish or game and there are
no missionaries to roast.
Mr.. Cunningham spent considerable
time in Queensland before he could se-
cure these curious specimens of hu-
manity, which are of general interest,
scientifically and from an amusement
standpoint.
The troupe will exhibit at Athletic
park grounds this afternoon also to.

FOOTBALL.

All the Announced Games Temporarily
Abandoned.
There will be no game of football this
afternoon between the Olive and the
University elevens, owing to the latter
club having another game for today.
The double game OF football and Ia
crosse at Athletic park for February 22d
has been abandoned. The lacrosse men
refused to make such an agreement,
thinking, doubtless. that their game
would prove sufficient card to draw q
large crowd.

The Big Showcase Shipped. North by
Yesterdays Train.
The big plate-glass chow case was
shipped north by the chamber of COM
mercs yesterday, to the exhibition at
the Mechanics pavilion in San Fran
cisco. 1t is made of mahogany, with
plate-glass drawers. in such way that
the drawers can all be removed sepa-
Tately from their place in the frame and
filed with products Independent of one
another. T3eee drawers ere in two
tiers, IL in the lower tier and 16 in the
upper. 1t was made here under the
design of Frank Virgins, superinten-
dent of the chamber, and cost about
$3.50, which is very little money for 60
pretty bit of work. After the fair at
San Francisco is over the showcase will
be removed to the rooms of the state
board of trade, in the Crocker- Wool
worth bank building, and kept there
permanently. 1t is good bit Of adver-
tising for this county.
