Washington Authorities and the
Registration Law.

Registration Law.
Collector Quinn received an answer yes
terday to the telegraphic inquiry that he
sent on Saturday to Washington about
Chinese registration, which is about as
non-commuDi cative on the question in
volved as response could possibly be. 1t
eyades the matter entirely, and betrays
the intention of the administration to do
nothing until its representative, Mr.. Well
born, is duly installed.
The Collectors query on the application
OF Dong All Wab's three children and 500
Ho Lai to register was as follows:
Hon. Commissioner Of Internal ReUeftte
Washington, ID. c.: Four applications for
registration have been made by Chinese who
wish 10 sail for China "Wednesday. We have
old blanks. Shall We accept IN applications
and hold them until certificates are received?
JOHN G. QUINN. Collector.
The reply came in the following:
John c. QUINN First District San FrdnciSco
Certihcates OF residence issued TO Chinese
about TO sail could not entitIe them TO return to
the United States. See first section, act of May
6, 1892.
G. w. WILSON. Acting Commissioner.
What makes it appear that politics has
more to do with the reimbursement of the
law than anything else is the fact that
copies OF the new law have been received
by the San Francisco end of the depart
ment of justice but none by the Internal
Revenue Office.
A desire TO register was made known by
Wong An Doom, merchant, yesterday.
Wong wants to sail for China and Will not
be back for year.

THE. CYCLING STOOP.

Medical men of eminence are forced to
give attention TO the infirmities which
creep over the physique as a consequence
of too furious bicycle riding in forward
stO0 ping posture. To attain speed on
journey the bicyclist. especially on the low
safety machines. gets into the habit of
crouching forward. This dminishes the
resistance of the air and offers less surface
to head wind. When the journey strains
the physique unduly by being too long and
wearing the ride is no longer exercise. ben
citing the constitution. but is exertion,
breaking it up. Diseases of the spine are
Inevitable, strong chests become weak
and weak chests collapse, and very often
tha heart is affected. The curves of the
spine. and especially the anterior one, are
modified badly by the ungainly forward
gait. and so the body loses strength of
support. This in turn precipitates chest
ailments and necessarily the circulation is
affected injuriously. All these evils of
bicycling were much less marked when
the great wheels, or bone shakers. as they
are irreverently styled, were in use, be-
cause the riders were more in the habit of
sitting uprightly, although the profess
slonal cyclers were exceptions. The rem-
edy is more to be sought in changes of
construction than in advice to riders. If
they can get more power out Of machine
by leaning forward, lean forward they
will. A change in mechanism might COM
rel them to sit upright, as on a horse.
But then the difficulty arises of altering
the constructing workshop machinery.
CompulsiOn can be brought to bear by
some new makers perfectiBg machines on
hygienic principles and advertising them
as such. But they will not succeed if they
sacrifice speed.

CHILDREN OF THE CHURCH.
Their Spiritual Culture and CONVEX

The Presbyterian Ministerial Union met
Yesterday morning in the Howard Church.
the president. Rev. G. d. B. Stewart, pre-
siding.
Among the ministers present were
Rev. w. B. Noble, DID,, of San Rafael /;
Rev. III. c. MInton, d. D., of the Theolog-
ical Seminary. near San Anselmo; Rev. E.
5. Burnett of Healdsburg; Rev. G. w.
Chalfant, DID,. of Pittsburg, and Rev. c..
U. Brown. DID,, of the Congregational
Club. all of whom were cordialy welcomed
as visitors.
The principal feature of the meeting was
a paper on THE Children of the Church,"
prepared and read by Rev. B. C. Meeker,
and discussed quite thoroughly by the
most of those present, including Rev.
Messrs. Noble. Chalfant. Nicholas, Ma
thena, Beyier, Ross. Berry. Burnett. Ellis,
Colver, Rboda and E. 3. Steuart.
Mr.. Meeker is strong believer in the
conversion of children, and thinks that
more attention should be given to their
spiritual culture ana to efforts at fitting
them for membership in the church, as
we'll as at bringing them into it as soon as
they become ready for it and develop suffi-
Client intelligence TO understand the nature
OF the step W hich they are taking.
He COZ ders this far better than to let
them grow up In spiritual neglect, wander
Ing off perhaps into the paths Of sin, and
afterward endeavor 10 bring them back by
the strenuous efforts often male use of
for such purpose, with only partial sue
cess even then. His illustrations consisted
chiefly of facts. including incidents of
striking character that had come under his
own observation. The relation of which
gave Increased weight to his opinions and
added greatly to the interest of the paper.
The description which followed showed
quite general agreement with the views of
Mr.. Meeker, but the process by which the
heart OF child is to be reached so as to in
sure the child's genuine conversion was
conceded To be delicate one, which should
be undertaken with great care and pur-
sued with the wisdom of the serpent, so as
to Insure the harmlessness of the dove.
At the meeting next Monday morning
Rev. DR.. Ellis Will read paper on PRO
posed overtures to the General Assembly
on important changes in the Book OF Dis

THE MCKINLEY THEORY.

In the state of unrest which the late
elections threw the free-traders into some
indifference of expression is pardonable.
But the line must be drawn somewhere.
The untamed colt who prauces in the COL
umns of our local free-trade contemporary
has passed the limit in the following:
The Mckinley theory is that one nation
grows rich out OF the misery of another. The
American protectionists gloated over every
rumor OF distress and starvation abroad. They
enjoyed the spectacle Of unemployed workmen
packing up and coming over here by hundreds
OF thousands TO take the places of our own at
any wages they could get.
Our contemporary must know that what
ever legislation is on the statute books to
restrain the immigration of Europeans
was enacted under Republican admins
trations or agreed to by a Republican
branch of the national Legislature. 1t is
true that the Democrats have hit upon a
more effective check upon immigration
than ever occurred to the Republicans
The Democratic method is to make this
country as hopeless to the workingmen as
Europe can possibly be. Immigrants are
not coming this way now for the excellent
reason that under the tariff the Democratic
platform calls for they are quite as well off
In their own homes.
The Mckinley theory is for each nation
to look out for its own. If general natural
conditions are more favorable to the wage
earners in the United States than in
Europe we have perfect right to legislate
TO preserve those conditions. The McKin-
ley tariff imposes duties on foreign prod
ucts to enable American manufacturers to
retain the American market while con-
forming TO the American standard of
wages. The average American does not
gloat over human misery. but he keeps
misery as far from his own peaceaple
shores as possible.

THE BUSH-STREET CAR.
How Pretty Scheme TO Overload 1t
Was Spoiled,

7 be action of the Mayor a little over a
week ago in ordering the streetcar tracks
on Bush street to be torn up spoiled good
story for the newspapers.
This Bush-street track problem has wor-
ried the residents along that thoroughfare
for several years, and frequent discussions
have been held among those interested
and various ways suggested in which it
was thought the Sutter-street company
could be placed at a disadvantage.
Finally one bright individual conceived
an original scheme and communicated it
to his fellow-con spirators. The plan pro-
posed was as follows: Between Stockton
and Grant avenue there is very heavy
grade on Bush street, in fact one of if n OF
the heaviest on the line. II was agreed
among the gentlemen concerned in the plot
that twenty or more heavy-weightS, none
of whom should tip the beam at less than
200 pounds, should board the car at the
foot of the hill. and after paying their
fares were to calmly sit down and await
developments.
The conspirators were aware that the
motive power which was used to pull the
solitary car on its single trip day would
never have been able to ascend the hill
with the load 1t was proposed to put be-
hind 1t, and in order that no little legal
technicalty might be overlooked couple
Of lawyers were to have been of the party
All in all it would have proven a very
attractiv theme for both the reporter and
the sketch artist, but the Mayors sudde
action spoiled the story

to get sack of sawdust. He paid cents
for his purchase and was then told to go
and gather up the sawdust under a bench
where a circular saw was fixed. While
gathering his sawdust the machinery of
the saw was started and the boy was so
severely injured that his arm had to be
amputated.
Pearce claims that he was assured that
the machinery would not be set in motion,
whereas the defense asserts that the boy
was wholly to blame and lost his arm by
his own carelessness.
