WON'T STOP JOHN CHINAMAN.

SEATTLE, Wash. May 8, 1s93.-Andrew
WATSON, of Port Townsend, Collector of
Customs for Puget Sound ports, made a
startling statement in Seattle last even
ing. He said that after careful considera-
ton he has concluded that after May 6
neither he nor his deputies will make an
attempt to enforce the Geary law in re
lation to registration of Chinese.
Not since the famous act was passed
has there been such a sensation among the
Chinese at that created by Collector
Wasson's statement. The latter's reasons
for making the statement is this:
Section six OF the Geary act says that
after May g any Chinese laborer found in 2
be deemed and adjudged to- be unlawfully
within the United States, and may be ar
rested by any United States customs
official. You will see by that" said Col
lector WATSON to a reporter, that Gus
toms officials are not compelled to arrest
Chinese, but may do so. Now, it will be a
big Job for us, and really it is not a part
of our business. If the law read that we
shall arrest then it would be different, but
the law does not say any such thing

By Gable to the United Press.
BERLIN, May 8. 1S93.-The members of
the Centre party held an uprcarious
meeting today to consider the proposition
supported by Freiher Won Huene rs to
the terms on which the Centre should
support the Army bill in the
Reichstag. The meeting was of
a most exciting character, and re-
suited in the rejection of Freinerr von
Huene's proposition by an enormous ma
jority. Count Won Ballestretn thereupon
resigned his place as the leader OF the
Centre, and Count Won Preysing-Lichten-
egg-Moos of Straubling was elected to
succeed Ballastrem in the leadership. 1t
was afterwards decided that the MEM
bers should vote according to their indI-
vidual convictions.
In the Reichatag today, Chancellor
Capriyi declared that the Government
would endeavor by every constitutional
lei to secure the passage of the Army
bill. The German Army. the Chancellor
said. as at present constituted. was not
equal in quantity n quality to any
emergency that might arise. He re-
minded the members OF the Reichstag
that the ablest diplomacy was not always
an efficient substitute for military
strength, and in support of this assertion
he cited the experience of Frederick the
Great of Pru ssia.
