Ing. The statements made by Cinnamon
are somewhat conflicting, but work is un-
doubtedly to stop. There is a great tight
among the coolies. They say that several
hundred have gone this week to San Fran
CISCO and at many places there will not be
sufficient men to con tinue the work. They
are evidently awaiting orders, which will
arrive about the middle of the week from
the Six Companies. The bosses seem very
much depressed and say that all China
men are In mortal terror Of arrest; that no
time had been given them to register ande
that they did not know what to do. Many
OF the bosses have money out to collect, as
well as investments and property, and
they cannot leave without great sacrifice.
The vegetable men are undoubtedly

they were willing to go back to China, and

DANGER AHEAD
Markham Writes to
Gresham,
THE LAW is THE LAW
Whatever the President
rlay Think.
PEOPLE TRIED TOO FAR.
PEOPLE TRIED TOO FAR.
Many Chinese Should Already
Have Been Deported.
PRECAUTIONS WILL BE TAKEN.
But There Will Be an Outbreak I'm
less Positive Assurances Come
From Washington at
Once.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. s.-The following is
a copy of letter sent by Governor Mark
ham to-day to Secretary Gresham:
september 9. 1893.
"TO Secretary of State, Washington,
ID. CT have caused to be forwarded 20
your department copies of all communica-
tions to or from this Office pertaining to
Chinese difficulties In this State. / am
pleased to inform you that open hostilities
have ceased, and as far as can learn good
order has been restored. l deem it, how
ever, my duty to inform you that an out
break may occur at any moment unless as
surances in some form are given by the
authorities at Washington that the laws of
the United States regarding Chinese are
to be carried into effect within reasona BILE
time.
Whatever the authorities may think of
the wisdom of the Geary law, one fact,
that it is law, and the further fact that
it has not been enforced by those in au-
thority. furnishes an excuse for tn ose law
lessly inclined to break the laws of our
own State. and that. too, with the sanction
of many of our citizens.
81 shall do oil that / ought to protect
these people, but cannot be held respon-
sble beyond that point.
MANY Of cur good citizens believe a
positive message by the President TO Con-
grsss would result In an Immediate appro-
priation sufficient to remove the only
objection thus far made to complete the
enforcement OF this law.
"our people have great confidence in the
legal opinions of United States District
Judge Ross, and it is evident to all that
the gravest complications in this State
must ensue unless steps are at once taken
to harmonic and settle this important
State. national and International question.

ANARCHISTS AND MISSIONARIES
Tom Geary Has Some Views Pecul-
lar to Himself.

WASHINGTON, SeSt. 9.-Representa-
tive Geary says he is satisfied that the
provisions of the law will be- enforced by
the administration. Yesterday and to-
day he had interviews with President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle on the
subject and later he said to reporter:
"The law will be carried out. Assurances
have been given me on that point which
are thoroughly satisfactory.
Il understand that circular letter Of
instructions is now being prepared by the
Treasury Department and Will be issued
within short time. Inquiries Lave been
made of the steamship officers in Cali
fornia as to the rates which will be
charged for carrying the Chinese and the
answer has been received. upon the basis
of which the work will proceed. The
charge of transportation will be S35 a
head and 40 cents a day for subsistence
while the subjects of deportation are held
awaiting an opportunity to sail.''
"Hew many Chinese are there In Call
fornia liable to deportation ?" was asked.
About $4,000. We have nearly all there
are in the country, as the other States
have but few hundred in all. l be ieve

General Olney and Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Hamlin, who hail from the
same State. The plan seems to be to sus-
pend tie operations of the law until the
Chinese can have another opportunity to
register, and meanwhile to use the influ-
ence of the administration to bring about
the repeal of the Geary act
When told tonight of the report that the
administration had decided not 10 execute
the Chinese act on account of influence
brought to bear by the Chinese Minister,
Representative Mcguire said to THE CALL
correspondent: That is evidently fake.
1t is childish to think that any argument
Of the Chinese Minister. whether pacific or
threatening, could in the least Influence
Mr.. Cleveland. The truth is probably this:
The President has agreed to suspend the
enforcement of the law until the Chinese
Government can have time to enter its
formal protest. Any threat of the Chinese
Minister would only serve to strengthen
Cleveland's backbone. for he Is just that
sort of man. The Chinese Government
certainly would not attempt 10 take re-
venge upon our people in China. If it
does. however. we will show the Chinese
what our useless navy can do
Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury
Hamlin was asked by THE CALL CORE
sDondent whether there was any truth in
the report that the law would not be en-
forced. He said: 'If it were true, be-
lieve L would know of it, but l assure you
l have heard nothing that leads me to be-
lieve this report is true"
Nevertheless it seems generally believed
tonight that there will be a suspension of
the execution of the law to give the
Chinese Government more time in which
to be heard. and it seems quite probable
that strong effort will be made in the
meantime to either extend the time in
which the Chinese may register or else TO
repeal the Geary law in toto In short.
this is Chinese-loving administration.
Geary VIII try and have another inter-
view with the President tomorrow.

1T Is NOT A BOY.
There Was a Shade of Disappoint-
ment on CIeVeIand'S Face.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. - Mrs. Grover
Cleveland was safely delivered Of daugh-
ter at the White House to-day. The baby
was born at exactly high noon. just as the
ball on the flagstaff of the State, War and
Navy building opposite the White House
dropped from the top of its staff.
From time to time during the morning
the President was quietly advised as to the
condition of affairs in the sickroom, and
at exactly II o'clock DR.. Bryant summoned
him from the receptioD-room and made
the important announcement. The smile
on the doctors face and the reassurIng
pressure Of his hand told the President
that his wife was safe. and. without paus-
ing, he asked:
rs it boy or girl?"
Something like shadow of disappoint-
ment swept across Cieveland's face as the
physician told him the newborn babe was
a girl.
The fact of the birth was not made pub
lie until 2 O'Clock, when the news was
bulletined at the telegraph Office. Capitol
departments and prominent hotels, and 1t
formed almost the sole theme of conversa-
tlon during the remainder of the after
noon. Everywhere disappointment was
manifested that the baby was not boy.
but before o'clock a stream of messenger
boys began carving eongratulatory tele-
grams to the White House.
This is the first time in the history of
the republic that the wall of a newborn
infant of President of the United States
has been heard within the walls OF the
White House.
Though the press has iDtimated at times
that Mrs. Cleveland would become a
mother second time. the birth of the
baby to-day was somewhat of a surprise,
as Mrs. Cleveland was driving out last
evening. She bowed frequently to passing
friends and acquaintances and appeared in
excellent bealia and spirits. $780, .rsa

from Colorado, had been made the scape-
goat. There was cause for the difficulty.
and 1t was the course of wisdom for
Senators to address themselves to that
cause and not be carried off their feet by
public clamor, by the newspapers, by
gibes and threats, and be compelled to DO
that which they knew would not bring the
people that which they deserved and
which they desired.
To show the fallacy OF the opinion that
the Sherman act was responsible for the
distress, Teller cited trade reports to the
effect that the year 1892 had been one Of
the most prosperous in the history of the
nation.

adjourned.
The House held a short session to-day.

POISONED THE WELL.
Why the People of an Alabama Town
Lynchcd Negro,

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Sept. 9.-Benjamin
Jackson (colored) was lynched, near
Quincy. last night. About a year ago
jackson and Thomas Woodmeyer, a prom
inent citizen, quarreled, and the figh, so
frightened Mrs. Woodmeyer. who was In
delicate condition. that she died. jackson
swore he would ''fix" Woodmeyer. A few
days ago the negro threw rat poison into
WOodmeyer's well. and three of Wood
meyers children died from drinking the
poisoned water, while Woodmeyer himself
is dying. Thirty neighbors visited the
family and also drank of the water, and
many are not expected TO live. jackson
confessed his crime before being put to
death.
Four other negroes. thought to have been
implicated in the poisoning. were caught
to-day and are guarded by an armed mob
tonight. while the citizens are searching
for fifth negro. When he is found all
five will undoubtedly be lynched. To-
night the excitement is intense and lynch
ing is expected before morning.

THE BRITISH HAD TO FIGHT.
Mr.. Tupper Is Satisfied if the Cana
dian Fellows Are Not.

OTTAWA. Sept &C. II. Tupper said ::
"rhe British had to fight hard 10 secure
permission for pelagic sealing. and did well
to get the regulations they did. They are
not my idea of what the regulations
shoul be-" he added, "even as means of
preserving seal life.
"They are neither In the interest of the
United States nor OF Canada in that re-
specf, and mark my words. the next year s
catch of the British vessels will he the
largest in the history of peIagic sealing.
That this great slaughter will occur at a
time when il may be most destructive TO
the species Will be the fault Of the reguIa-
tions, not of our hun ters, who must take
when they can"
VICTORIA, Sept. 9.-Speaking of Sir
Charles Tupper's prophecy OF a largely
increased catch of seals next season Cap
tain Cox. president of the Sealers' Associ-
alton, says Tupper is 'babbling ass"
and that his prophecy is false b ocd pure
and simple. and calculated to injure the
prices of skins at the Octo her sales. ANY
one," says be, "who has read the regula-
tions knows that an increased catch is i'm
possible. but the result may be that Tup-
per's declarations may induce the Otiowa
Government TO. in their ignorance, bind
the British Columbia sealers hand and
foot by regulations they may adopt The
Japan seas will offer no relief, as only
about nine schooners made good catches
this season."
The work Of paying the money awarded
by the British Government TO seal-hunters
is progressing. Only about $4,000 has been
paid of the sum granted as an indemni ity
TO the seameD and hunters for interference
with their business. but about $4,000 out

ers has been maid

CHINESE CENSUS.
Mcguire Does Not Think 1t Will Be
Necessary.

Necessary.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Representative
Mcguire says he does not believe there
will be any special census of the Chinese
made. 1t would be very expensive if
undertaken by the Bureau of Statistics
and the regular census, while it may not
have been strictly accurate. will at least
be reliable enough to make an estimate as
to the amount of money that will be re-
Quired TO transport all the Chinese who
have not registered.
According to Collector Wise's estimate
of S35 per head it would take about
S4, 500. 900 TO transport all the unregistered
Chinese. including 81 .000. 900 for incidental
expenses, says Mcguire. but he believes
that By the time 500 or 1000 Chinese are
deported thousands of others will become
frightened and emigrate to Mexico and
British Columbia, for they certainly do
not wish 10 be sent back to China

author spoke on it.
The hour of o'clock having arrived. the
chair laid before the Senate the repeal bill
and PETERS resolution went over until
Monday.
Teller (Rep) OF Colorado was recognized
as entitled TO the floor. In the course of
his remarks he denied emphatically that
there was an attempt on the part OF the
Representatives of the silver States to have
the Government purchase the output OF
the mines.
He also denied most positively that the
public hac expressed an opinion upon the
subject and in favor of repeal. The great
metropolitan papers had spoken; the in
dustrial classes had not. They were not
in favor Of repeal. Industrial interest
has been tbrotled from expressions of
opinion by the threat that money neces-
sary to carry on their business would be
withheld. and that threat had been made
with an effrontery that would shame the
devil. As to what had induced the House
to vote for the bill, which the newspapers
said was public opinion. courtesies due to
the other body would prevent his stating
his opinion of what Influenced the vote.
He would leave that to some other place
where be would not bs trammeled by the
rules of the Senate
The Senator then went on to denounee
the newspapers, which he declared did not
represent the public. He said he repeated
the challenge made in recent speech for
anybody to show that the Sherman law
was responsible In any degree for the
present financial condition or the conli-
tion which existed when Congress assem-
bled. That act, said the senior Senator
