Bureau:
"As to the charge that l allowed to be

there Is no law providing for anything TO be

decided some time ago by Judge Lacomb

China's Representative Will Try to Quiet
EEis Countrymen-3.444R Registered.
WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE Chinese min.
lister, accompanied by his English speaking
secretary of legation. called at the State
Department this afternoon and had oon-
ference with fscretary Gresham in regard
to the Supreme Courts decision affirming
the constitutignality of the Geary act. He
gave no initiation whatever of an inten.
tioD to suspend diplomatic relations with
the United States, but. on the contrary,
indicated his pcrpose of quietlnG affairs in
China as much Is possible.
Congressman Caminetti, of California,
had q short conference with the President
this morning. eind left the White House
feeling assured it was the intention
of the President to see that the
Chinese restriction act was enforced. Mr..
CamInetti denied that it wonld take any
thing like the sum of money that had been
mentioned 70 enforce the act. for the req
son that those Cinnamon eatitled TO remain
would have to secure taeir certificates at
their own ex pcnse, and that those at whom
the law is really aimed would be fright
ened out OF the country the rnOment en-
honeet attempt is made to enforce 1t. Mr..
Caminetti is OF the opinion that what addi-
tional money may oe needed will be voted
at the next session of Congress. and he
fears repeal of the law.
Reports from forty OF the siXty-three In.
ternai revenue districts show that 3,4i4
Chinese have registered. No reports have
yet been received from the Pacific coast
districts.
The SIX Companies Collecting Money
NEW YORK. May ia morning paper
has received authoritative information
that the Six Companies have had and still
have their agents at work through the
country collecting S5 from every Chinaman
on American soil. This collection is inde-
pendent from one recently made openly.
whose ostepsibls purpose was the raising
CT funds TO defray the expenses of counsel
in fighting the Geary act IN the court. The
latter collection netted about sixty thou.
sand dollars. The present collection is be-
ing secretly made. The contributors are
not told to what ends the money is to be

Fears of Terre Haute Democrats.

Special TO me Indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May 1.-THE report
In this mornings Journal that Postmaster
general Bissell had been unable to resist
the Voorhees, influence and would stand
by the burRlarious postmaster, recalled to
the minds of many persons the fact that
the Senator recently gave fish dinner to
BisseiL. Democrats are much alarmed lest
the Postmaster general should refuse to
consider the names of the new letter
carriers recommended by Donham after he
found he could not appoint. This may be
the compromise action on Bisselps part.
and if so it leaves the new carriers, now
following the old men. without any hope
of appoin tment. They had made applica-
tion for the oivil-seryloe examinat tion. but
Saturday Donham had them follow the
carriers. If the eligible list is to be de-
pended on. the men chosen by Donham
and his boss are not In it at all.
There Is another phase of the patronage
system here that has not been mentioned,
his chances for the collectorship are great
ly endangered by the postofice episode. in
asmuch as it tends to weaken Mr.. Voor-
hees's intiuence. Congressman Brookshire
was already making strong claim for this
appointments Another source OF weakness
is the appearance of Crawford Fairbanks
in the postoffice case. He is shown to have
offered money TO a government official. He
is a relative of Judge Jump. Indeed, that
relationship, in connection with the fact
that Fairbanks has been prominently ell
gagged in the distillery business has been
the chief objection to the Judge. when no
other is raised. Fairbankss own state
ment about the attempt TO buy Postmaster
Greiner's esianation has gone to the Presi-
dent in the civil-service reformers' report.
It Is understood tonight that q special
agent of the Postoffice Department Is eX-
peoted here and that the DOnham people
are TO do what they can TO make cases
against the letter carriers or q charge of
insu bor0 aflon.

How Young Chinese Arc Educated.

The Chinese school children have instilled
into them ut an early age habits Of hard,
steady study.
AT the age Of S q boy begins his schooling.
At daylight he rises, and after dressing as
quickly US possible he starts breakfastless
to school.
He is given a task, and after it is COM
pleted he is allowed an hour for breakfast.
Again later he has an hour for luncheon,
but he is at his study nearly IL hours a day,
seven days q week. All this time when he
is not reciting his lessons he is studying
aloud at the top Of his voice. He is under
the eye of his master, both in school and
on his way to and from school.
The lad is taught rudimental astronomy,
physics and natural history, but greater
stress is put upon writing and his literary
studies.
"A Thousand Letters" a poem, is the
study that forms the back zone of his liter
airy education. In it are taught the duties
of children to parents and all such matters.
Whatever the study may be-history,
classics or ~science-every lesson is learned
and repeated word for word.-Chicago In

When Queen Victoria Was u Little Girl.
Among the many stories told of the child
hood of Queen Victoria is one Of n visit
made with her mother at Wentworth House
in Yorkshire. Will there the princess de-
lighted in running about by herself in the
gardens and strawberries.
One wet morning soon after her arrival
the old gardener, who did not then know
her, saw her about to descend a treacherous
bit Of ground from the terrace and called
out:
"Be careful, miss, it's slape!" a Yorkshire
word for slippery.
The ever curious princess, turning her
head, asked, Whats slape'" and ut the
same instant her feet flew from under her
and she came down.
The old gardener ran to lift her, saying as
he did so, THAT'S Shape, miss ."-Youth's

just then she heard the rumble OF ''29''
tearing along on the other side of the curve
with tho long train Of coal cars. When
Diddy turned round, she never came so near
fninting in her whole life as she did then.
For what she saw was Tom on the track,
with his back to the engine, Juggling away
ut II wild flower which grew between the
tics. 1t had caught his eye, and he had
made for it while Biddy was tying her shoe.
Engine go was rounding the curve. The
distance between the curve and the small
boy with his red dress on the track was not
great enough to bring the engine to q stand
still, and Biddy knew she couldn't get there
in time to snatch him away, md then she
saw the old limp cloth cat lying in front OF
her, where Tom had dropped it to go for the
flower.
She grasped it. and shrieking, tom, kit
ty, poor kitty" threw it toward him. He
heard her, and he saw the darling old cat
drop some yards away, and he uttered u
cackle of delight and ran for it. just as he
clutched it in his hands engine 90 tore by,
and the wind of it rolled Tom over.
Daddy had seen that red spot on the
track, and he had nearly dropped out Of
the cab as he had realized it all. AS soon
as he could he rushed back, and there was
poor Biddy all of a heap on the ground, her
face as white as a sheet, and SO weak she
could not stir.
But Tom, who had not been hurt at all
by his roll, was on his feet holding out the
darling old cat to his father. The way
daddy whipped him up into his arms and
kissed him was a great surprise to Tom.
And then daddy kissed the cat that had
saved his boys life.-New York Press.

Tom StrAhan was nm infant Of W y0krs

Tom a beautiful cat which couldn't scratch.

But it's sides and face were painted SO like
the real cat that Tommy hardly felt that 1t
was only a rag cat.
He became fond Of It.
