THE PAGAN'S LAST DAY
IN WHICH TO REGISTER I'm OBEDr.

Is the Act OF Congress Stronger Thar

a Farce3

Yesterday was the last day on which
the Chinese were given time to register
themselves in obedience to the Geary act
or else be deported back to the fiowarv
land at the expense OF the Unitsd
States. One would suppose that, with
such fate hanging over them, they
would have rushed up in black and
solid mass to perfect their registration.
but such was not the case. Mr.. Max
well, the collector OF internal revenue.
was prepared for rush but it never
came. He had big pile of blanks for
that purpose at his elbow and several
deputies ready TO I'll them out, but the
jabberinR Johns were very backward
about coming forward, ifeuch an Hibern-
cism may be tolerated.
There are something less than 5000.
Chinese in this county, of whom there
are at least 1000 within the city limits.
but the total number registered up to
p. m. was only lib. The cause of this
deficiency in registration is said to be
ascribable to circular letter of the Sir
companies, to the effect that the Geary
act is palpable violation of our treaty
with China.

les, and it is,said that the circular letter
of the Six companies ID piece OF work
drawn up by him in that capacity.
Some Of tie Chinese who have been 60
far willing to obey the laws Of the United
States, as to register, are reported to
have been threatened with violence by
the Six companies.
Most OF the parties who have regis
tered are retail merchants and dealers
in Chinese goods, while the others are
either farm laborers or houee servants.
The collector thinks there will be
good many arrests made today, as he
will stand ready to issue warrants to
that effect whenever Commissioner Van
Dyke issues the necessary complaints.
George J. Denis, the United States dis
trict attorney, stands ready to prosecute
all such cases.
Yesterday afternoon Collector Max
well was kept busy from 2 O'Clock till
late in the evening registering Chinese,

WORLDS COLUMBIAN FAIR
A Great Change Noted Since
the Opening Day.
The Work of Installation Rapidly
Going Forward.
Charges of Restaurants to BE Regulated.
The Music Middle and Sunday
closing Questions still
Unsettled.

By the Associated Press.l
CHICAGO, May 5.-The work OF install.
lation at the worlds fair ia progressing
with such marvellous rapidity that a
great change lie to be noted even since
the opening day.
The council OF administration today
took action on the exorbitant restaurant
charges, adopting resolution instruct
ing all restaurant managers in the fair
grounds to formulate full and complete
schedule of prices and submit the same
to the executive committee for approval
The Sunday opening question con-
tinues to excite the officials at the fair,
but no one yet appears able to presage
what the outcome will be. The national
commission today adopted the Eiboeck
resolution declaring the commission
could not refer the Sunday closing PROB
lem to the local directory.
The Investigation OF the piano and
harp affair 10 now in progress. Commits
sioners Lannon, Beckwith, Burton,
Simons, Clendenning and Harris con-
shutting the committee.
A local paper declares positively that
the worlds fair will be open Sunday.
1t will be open without formal action or
formal announcement. 1t has been the
rule to have 1t open Sunday and
Chief Tucker OF the bureau OF admission,
receiving no ordeA to the contrary, will
continue the custom. He has made ar
rangements accordingly, ordering ell
ticket-takers and guards on duty.
The first public view OF the French
section in the art building at the worlds
fair was given this afternoon. M. Roger
Ballu, French mmissoner.general OF
fine arts, says never since the division
among the society OF French artists has
80 perfect an exhibition been made
In France or elsewhere. Neither OF the
French salons, he declared, can be COM
pared with il In beauty. There are 500
pictures in this exhibit, selected out OF
1000 offered.
Lowering clouds, presaging rain and
bleak wind from the north made the at
tendance at the worlds fair very light
