planned that it provided that the act of
May ., 1882, be so amended as to ex-
tend the time to six months in which
Chinese persons may register and OBJ
tain certificates of residence; and so
amend said act as to require on cred
IDLE witness other than Chinese that an
applicant for a certificate was a resident
OF the United States on the 5th of Nav,
1899, instead Of lone credible white
Witness"
Referring to the decision of the SUI
preme court affirming the constitution
atty OF the Geary law, he said that the
decision had not been rendered until
ten days after the time had expired in
which Chinese persons could register
and obtain certificates of residence. It
seemed just and fair that the Chinese
should have additional time to register
and obtain certificates Of residence. II
all the Chinese persons who were not
now registered should be transported
to China the cost to the government
would be about $1,000, 900.
Gerry (Dem., CALI, in opposing the
bill, said he was as humane as the gen
tleman who had just taken his seat. II
he believed that the Chinese would com
ply with the law he would vote for the
measure but he did not so believe. He
denied that the bill which bore his
name was any violation Of treaty stipu-
lations. Within the past thirty years
$500, 100000 had been taken from the
Pacific coast to foreign lands. He ridi-
culed the statement that it would take
S7,0o0,oOo to deport the unregistered
Chinese. 1t would not, he declared, in
volve an expenditure OF 81, 900, 900.
He criticised the action Of the
administration in not enforcing the
law and said that Democrats owed it to
their party that public officer who re.
fused to enforce the laws should not es-
cape denunciation. The President did
not escape his (Geary's) criticism and he
raised laugh when he said that the
Chinese minister, Secretary of the
Treasury and the Attorney General had
put their heads together in order to got
up the McCreary bill. At the close OF
Geary's speech the House at o'clock
adjourned

JAILED FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT

Reporter Locked UP for Refusing to An
swer Certain Questions Before the Grand
Jury.
Harry A Colmap, reporter on a local
paper, was, on the order of Judge Woods,
placed in jail and remained an hour and
a half for contempt of court in refusing
to answer questions asked by the special
grand jury several days ago. Mr.. Colman
wrote and published an article purport.
ing to be true story of the recent
lynching and on Tuesday he was sum
moned before the grand jury and asked
to give his authority for his statements.
This he refused to do, as he stated
that he had pledged his word not to re-
veal the name Of his informer. Yester-
DAY morning he was again summoned
pe!ore the court to show cause why he
did not answer the questions of the
jury. He still refused to answer and
was ordered to Jail.
The story written by Mr.. Colman
stated that on the night of the riot
Smith was taken out of Jail by q pris-
oner named Gordon, who was serving a
term of six months for perjury, who
returned to the Jail to inform the police
where the prisoner had been taken, and
that it was stated that he gave the same
information to some other parties.
When Mr. Colman was ordered to Jail
he was locked in by this same Gordon,
who, IT seems, had been entrusted with
some duties by the jailer. A numbe
OF people think that Gordon was the
cause OF the mob finding Smith and Of
the lynching.
After Mr.. Colman had been in Jail
some time his informers heard of the
matter and came forward and released
him from his promise in open court.
Judge Woods then ordered his discharge
from custody.

ACTIVITY IN LOCAL POLITICS.
Meeting of the Central Demo
cratic Club Tonight.
1t VIII Be Made Interesting BY Some or
the Local Politicians Who VIII Speak.
PopulIsts May Meet To-day and Nomi-
nate a Candidate For Senator.

Pursuant to adjournment and in &C
cordance with call issued by the Sec
rotary, Edward II. Donnelly, the Cen
trail Democratic Club will hold meet
ing tonight in the Hastings Court
room for the transaction of any business
that may come before the club. A
considerable amount of enthusiasm is
beginning to be aroused among the
voters in the campaign and the great
mass meeting IN the Opera House which
was addressed by General Lee will be
followed by others, and the meetings of
the Central Club, which have done so
much for Democracy in past campaigns,
Will be no unimportant factors.
Inc meeting tonight promises to be
especially interesting and addresses
Will be made TO the members by promi-
nent local speakers. 1t is hoped by the
leaders of the party that there will DO
large attendance of tho old members
Of the club as we'll as other Democrats
who may be on hand to unite in the
membership
Gentlemen from the county, who
were in the city yesterday, say that
the interests of Watts, Logan and
Thomas in the county are being we'll
looked after, and there Is little to fear
from the unholy alliance between the
rsbid hard money Republicans and the
very soft money Democrats and the
Third party. There is no question, how
ever, but that the Populists are hard at
work, and it will be serious mistake
for Democrat to lose sight OF the
gravity Of the situation.
The disciples Of MARY Yellin" Lease,
from BLEEDING Kansas" will in ali
probability hold their convention in
Roanoke to-day to nominate a man to
make the race for Senator against j j..
Allen Watts, the Democratic nominee.
1t Cannot be definitely determined,
though, whether the convention will be
held to-day or Saturday.
One thing is certain, they will not be
likely to have their deliberations in the
hall of the Junior Order Of United
American Mechanics without having a
lively tussle with the officials of that
organization.
1t was reported on the streets yester-
lay that gentleman named John
Altizer, of Montgomery county, would
be likely to receive the nomination, as
the Populists of that county favored
him. 1t may be, however, that by this
time the news OF the intended conven-
tion may have reached Craig and that
county have contingent present
strong enough to carry off the honors,
thus leaving Montgomery county and
this city out in the cold. If the con
vention is held to day it will doubtless
be rigidly and strictly private.

JUDGE OLDS RESIGNS.
He Will Go TO Chicago 20 Practice
His Profession.

Walter Olds, chief justice of the su-
preme court, has rendered his resignation.
to take effect June l, when be will enter
into partnership with ex-Secretary of
State Charles f. Griffin at Chicago.
About one year ago Mr.. Griffin offered
Judge Olds q partnership in the same
business. but under the circumstances he
thought IL best 10 decline the offer. A
few weeks ago the offer was renewed. and
is so fiattering that il was accepted. Since
Mr.. Griffin went to Chicago be has built
up very lucrative practice, amounting
TO some $4,000 a year. He offered
Judge Olds an equal partnership and the
firm name will be 0lds d Griffin. The
intention of Judge Odds is TO move his
family TO Chicago and settle there, begin
ming business as soon as his resignation
goes into effect. The change is made in
view of the right which every American
citizen has of lettering himself If be has
an opportunity The offer is very tempt
ing and amounts to twice over what he
gets on the bench. His term expires In
year or so, and the probability Is that no
such opportunity Will open at the expira-
ton. After considering the question for
some time and consulting with friends,
the Judge finally decided to accept.

STORM IN The WEST.
Kansas and Missouri the Objective
Points OF the Elements.

Kansas CRY, Nav 25.-Dispatches re-
ceived from several towns in Missouri and
from one point III Kansas report the oc-
currence this afternoon of a Sc
we're wind storm. The storm was
accompanied by hail or a downpouc
OF water amounting to almost a cloud
burst. No loss or severe injure was re-
ported to human life, but the telegraph
wires are down on the country
surrounding the towns that the
storm struck and when Geographic
communication is re-established il is not
unlikely it will be discovered that the
storm caused fatality. Much damage of
minor importance was wrought TO barns
and buildings and In Missouri the crops
suffered severely.
At Soda ia. Mo-, the wind attained
terrible velocity. Ii sufged under the

pipe stems The tent coming down with a
crash burying 1000 people beneath it.
They screamed and struggled and several
women tainted but all were finally safely
removed from beneath the canvass. Sew

presence OF mind of the employees of the
circus that panic did not result after the
catastrophe had occurred, in which case
the loss of life would have been appall-
ing.

WASHINGTON. May 24.-Foreign mis-
sions is q work which is not likely to
evoke any heretical utterances, so the
general spectators were not so much in
terested IN the mornings session OF the
general assembly as those in the after
noon session, when the assembly sat as a
high court to con slider the appeal in the
Briggs case. Still the members of the as
sembly seemed to have deep interest IN
the subject Of foreign missions. the work
in which the church has spent over
100000 during the psst year. Close at
tention was paid to the reports as they
were read, and the stirring speeches that
followed were applauded. The assembly
got though a good deal of work in the
morning. The peremptory order for the
afternoon was the Briggs case, aud the as
sembly is now TO devote itself to that, If it
abides bv its decision OF yesterday, until
II is finished.
The second days proceedings in the
consideration of the case passed off
quietly An audience that tested the
capacity of the church, gathered to hear
the arguments, many OF the ladies remain
ing in the galleries from early morning
throughout the day. The full member
ship of the prosecuting committee of the
New York presbytery was present and
Prof Briggs was sustained by the immedi-
ate presence of DR.. ID. b. Frazier of New
ark, trustee OF Union seminary: Prof.
Francis Brown. OF the faculty of the SEM
mary. and Judge 5. NJ. Cutcheon Of
Detroit. Before the afternoon session
closed, DR.. Birch had concluded his open
ing address in support OF the report OF the
judicial committee, recommending that
the appeal be entertained and Prof.
Briggs had occupied one and-a-half of the
five hours which he said was necessary in
which to make his reply and protest
against entertaining the appeal.
The pulpit and space in front were re-
served for the officers of the assembly,
parties to the case, chairmen of the vari-
Gus committees In connection with the
meeting of the assembly, ex-mOderators
and elders over eighty years of age. The
last five pews in the body of the church
were given over to visitors, clergymen
