The Chinese Register Act to BE Teste'

The Chinese Register Act to BE Tested
by Califor iia { hinamen.
New YoRr. March 20.-The dispatch
from San Francisco Saturday announc-
ing the intention of the Chinese six
companies to test in the courts the con-
stitutionality of the Garry act requiring
all Chinese to register, was confirmed
jby inquiries here. Plans have been
made to mako the test thorough one,
the six companies having engaged Jas.
C. Carter, Joseph H. Choate and
Maxwell Evars, of this city, and
j. Hubley Ashton, of Washing
ton, to join with the regular
attorneys of the companies in this
connection. Circulars have been sent
out requesting Chinese not to register
on the ground that the law is not con.
stitutional and can not be enforced.
The plans for the companies are to have
the Chinese arrested, and when the i'm.
mediate deportation of the offender
against the law shall have been or.
dered by the court, writ of habe az
corpus will be obtained and the case car.
ried to the supreme court of the United
States
Mr.. Choate said that he did not seq
how the constitutionality of a law to
label men like sheep could be main
tanned in this country and the attack
upon it as unconstitutional must prove
effective. He said ne had not consider
ed the point made by the six companies
that the law was in violation of treaty
rights While possibly it might in.
volve an infringement of the treaty
stipulations of 1882, the reliance of the
opponents of the law rested on much
| broader grounds.

A MOVEMENT
To Throw Mr.. Roach, the New Wes&.
ern Senator, Out of tho Senate.
A Great Many Republicans VIII Favor Pre-.
venting, II Possible, a Reorganization
Before the Regular Session Of Con-
gress-It is Unprecedented.

WASHINGTON, March 20.--The repub-
licans are to hold caucus Monday To
determine what shall be their course in
the matter OF the proposal of the demo
Gratis to proceed right away to reorgan-
ize the patronage of the senate, and
there will be good-sized proportion OF
the republicans whowill favor prevent
ing, if possible, reorganization before
the regular session Of congress. They
hold that such a course as that pro
posed by the democratic senators at
present would be contrary to the pre-
cedents of the last eighty or ninety
years, and that the present employees Of
the senate should be permitted TO re-
main until the senate meets in Decem-
ber next.
They argue that new force Of clerks
during the summer would be detri.
mental to the interests of the govern.
ment because they would not be COM
petent, and another argument strength
ening this feeling that the new force
would be incompetent is the great num-
ber of errors in the enrolment or en-.
grossment of bills by the enrolling
clerks of the house. Some of these er-
rors have been mentioned by the dis
patches from Washington, and some OF
them, notably that in the case Of the
bureau of engraving and printing,
where that bureau gets s37 instead OF
s37, 900. The enrolling clerks of the
senate seldom, if ever, make an error
and their efficiency is noteworthy.
1t is also possible at the republican
seaacus that some hing may be done in
the matter Of Roach, and it viii be de
termined that move be made to ge

NARROW ESCAPE
Secretary Carlisle Run Down BY
a Cable Car,
And is Pulled From the Track in Time
to Save Him
from Being Ground to Pieces by the
Nheeis-The Secretary Came as Near
Losing His Life AS Ever Man Did
without Receiving Bodily Injury.

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-It was only
by an inch that a vacancy in President
Cleveland's cabinet was averted Mon
day. Secretary Carlisle came as near
to losing his life as a man ever came
without receiving bodily injury. About
o'clock the secretary started from the
treasury department for his home,
three or four blocks distant for lunch
con. On his way he had to cross Fiji
tcenth street ut the intersection with.
New York avenue, which has long been
known as the most dangerous corner in
the city. Here the cable cars sweep
around the corner at rapid speed, and
many accidents have occurred there.
AS Secretary Carlisle started across the
track he was in brown study. His
eyes were on the ground, and he APP
peared to be entirely oblivious of his
surroundings, A cable train at that
moment was coming around the corner.
There was great danger that the secre-
tary could not get out of its way.
The gripman rang his bell violently, the
passengers in the grip-car stood up and
shouted, and the people on the street
set up a shout of warning. Secretary
Carlisle did not hear them, or he did
not seem to realize that they were en-
deavoring to attract his attention. just
IN the nick of time passer-by sprang
Mt Carlisle, seized him around the waist
and dragged him off the tracks. The
front end of the cable car brushed his
clothing in passing.

he chief commissioner fo.' the kingdom
Of Sweden to the Worlds Columbian ex.
hloition at Chicago, and Axel Welin,
assistant secretary to the royal Swedish
commission for the Chicago fair, are al
the Metropolitan hotel. They say the
Swedish exhibit will be one of the finest
at the fair Mr.. Leifler says that the
government has appropriated 35O,O0o
crowns, or about 100000, for the ex.i
hibit to be sent to Chicago, and that
amount, in proportion to the population
OF other countries, was the largest ap-
preparation made by any Europea'
country.
''The Swedish government is taking
more than ordinary interest in
the fair" said Mr.. Letter in the
course of his talk, "and it has done
something in the, way of appropriating
money that no other country has
thought Of In addition to the $50, 900
crowns for the exhibit the kingdom has
appropriated $4,000 crowns to be used
to send the mechanical engineers of
the country 10 the fair. Sweden re-
CARDS the exposition as great educa.
tional institution and it wants its me-
chanical engineers to get the benefits
of a visit to Chicago, and the so, 900
crowns is for the purpose of assisting
them to get there.
'The exhibit left Sweden or March
2 and was transferred to vessel that
sailed from Liverpool Thursday. The

BosToN, Mass, March a0.--At TAO
Sunday morning fire was discovered in
the fremont temple which is located
on fremont between School and Bloom
field streets. The fire was first seen by
the policeman on the beat who rushed
to the Parker house just adjoining and
turned in an alarm from private box
of the hotel. In less time than it takes
to tell the story the whole temple was
in flames. The temple is building Of
about the same proportions as Dr. Tai
mage's tabernacle in Brooklyn, N. Y.
1t will seat between 5000 and 5000
people.
The interior of the temple was soon
entirely in flames before the firemen
could reach the scene. general alarm
was turned in and all the fire engines
in the city quickly responded but It
was impossible to check the passage Of
the flames. in an hours time the mag.
nificent temple was inaruins The loss
to the building is estimated at $3.50. 900.
For time it was feared that the
Parker house, the once swell hotel OF
Boston would be destroyed. The Parker
house is an eight-story building cover
ing nearly an entire block.

SCIENCE oF ALL KINDS.

IT was Prof. Hufeland's opinion that
the limit of possible human life might
be set at two hundred years; this on the
general principle that the life of nearly
all living creatures is eight times the
years, months or weeks of its period OF
growth.
DIVERS in the clear waters OF the
tropical seas find that fish Of different
colors, when frightened, do not all dart
In the same direction, but that each
different kind takes shelter In that por-
ton of the submarine growth nearest
to its color.
MANY Of the stars are heavier than
our sun. For example, Mizar, the mid
die star in the tail Of the Great Bear, is
forty times as heavy as the sun. To the
naked eye there are five or six thou
sands of these heavenly bodies visible.
In all probability there are worlds re-
volving around them.

WASHINGTON, March H.-SENATE The SEN
ate discussed for nearly an hour, Monday, ths
resolution offered last week By Mr.. Manderson,
intended to limit the action Of the senate in tlie
present extraordinary session TO executive mat
tiers. or to matters not requiring cooperation on
the part OF the house. Mr.. German favored
that policy, but preferred to have 1t take the
form of unanimous consent rather than OF res.
olution. Objection TO the unanimous consent
came from the democratic side Of the chamber,
and the most strenuous opposition to the reso-
luton came also from that side. The question
finally went over without any decision, and the
senate adjourned till Wednesday.
WASHINGTON, March l6-The senate met at
noon In open session Wednesday and disposed

which lasted in all half an hour. Afterward re-

SECRETARY HERBERT

NEW YORK, March 21.-It is reported
IN navy circles in brooklyn that after
the review the custom of detailing YES.
sells to participate in celebrations in
harbors along the coast will be discon.
tinued, Secretary Herbert is reported
TO have told several friends during his
visit to Brooklyn that he was opposed
10 using U. $. vessels for the purpose of
display. One of Mr.. Herbert's chief
objections to harbor displays is the
great expense connected with them.
On such occasions it is usually neces.
sary to give the vessels thorough
overhauling and in addition to that
there is the cost of powder for firing
salutes.
Navy officers are generally well
pleased with the prospect of being re.
lieved from the task of being on exhibi.
'tlon and hope that the change of policy
will make it possible for them. to save
something from their salaries. Hereto.
fore the officers have been compelled to
pay SO much for entertaining guests
from places they visited that they have
had to shave their other expenses to
make both ends meet

Wild Waters OF Many Western Rivers

CHICAGO, March 18.-The situation in
the flooded districts of the west is prac-
tically unchanged Wednesday, except
in Michigan, where reports are OF
steadily rising streams and great dam
age. At Grand Rapids the river is still
rising and is now at the highest point
reached in forty-two years
Scores of factories and mills have
shut down, throwing large number Of
men out Of employment. On the west
side, 100 houses are surrounded by
water. A number of families have
moved out in boats, and much suffering
prevails, as the weather has changed
aud blizzard is blowing.
A special IRON Kalamazoo says; "fhe
rain of Tuesday niglhssr has has turned TO
snow, but the river continues u .slssA
1t is six inches higher than Tuesday
night, but has not yet reached the mark
caused by the ice gorge Of 1887. All
streams running into Kalamazoo river
In this vicinity are higher than for

mined"
In Illinois the Illinois river has been
rising until it is now nearly as high as
1t was during the big food Of last sea-
son. The damage done by the flood is
far greater than that Of last year
Great damage is also reported along the

THE PANAMA TRIALS,
An Eloquent Appeal Made In Behalf of NJ.
Beral.

PARIS, March 2l.--The arguments OF
counsel in the Panama trial were con.
tinued Monday. NJ. Rousset delivered
an eloquent plea in behalf of NJ. Beral
senator from the department of Lot,
who is accused of having received a
bribe of 10000 francs from the late
Baron Renach to vote for the lottery
bonds bill. M. Rousset maintained in
his argument that the money had been
paid to M. Beral for services as an en-
gineer in various railway and mining
enterprises, and for technical advice in
connection with such enterprises
The counsel for NJ. Gobron, deputy
for Ardennes from 1858 to 1889, charged
with receiving bribe of 10000 fruncs
from Baron Reinach to vote for the
Panama lottery bin argued that Cob
ron had received the 70, 600 francs aS
the price Of eighty shares III the tam
ming company which he had trans
ierred t9M. Boinach, and that the pay
ment had nothing to do with Gobron's
duties as deputy The trial was then
adjourned
