subject to ordinary taxation. 1t is doubt
less true that the Chinese Six Companies
have represented to the Chinese that reg
istration was an expensive ceremony. They
seem to have fixed upon six dollars as the
fee. This sum has been offered at the regis
tration Office on more than one occasion.
The statement that only few of the
Chinese fear the Six Companies is hardly
borne out by the known facts of the case
The secena circular of the Six Companies
threatening vengeance upon Chinese who
might register caused change of purpose
on the part OF the Chinese. While it is
doubtless true that a large proportion of
the Chinese now in the State have worked
out the claim the Six Companies once had
OIL them, the companies still have the power
to make the return of Chinese difficult and
veXatious. The Chinese who returns to

WETJEN ASSIGNS.

lie cannot Meet his Bills When They
Are Due.
The thousands Of friends of Cord Wetjen
will be both panied and surprised to hear
that he is in financial trouble. There are
but few more popular men in San Francisco
than Cord Wetjen. and this was demon
strated when Wetien ran on the Nom
Partisan ticket for the office of Tax COL
lectOr.
He had two very powerful candidates
against him and vet made splendid race
Wetien spent n good deal of money on the
election and was everywhere during the
campaign.
Since the election things have not gone
we'll with him in his business. He has for
years conducted a large groeery-store on
Howard street, between Sixth and Seventh,
and it was popularity supposed that his
business was both large and prosperous
Such, however. vas not the case, for on
Wednesday afternoon he made an assign
ment for the benefit of bis creditors.
William Cluif, Of Cluff 81 Co.. the whole

The largest creditors of Welien, said yesteI-
day when questioned on the subject:

but it is true that Wetjen has failed. His
liabilities do not amount to more than $4,000.

MIR. Wetjen has not only made an assign
ment for the benefit of his creditors, but
has also given an absolute bill of sale to
Mr.. Lnkenday."
Has this failure OF Mr.. Wetjen been
sudden?" was asked.
mo. | have known for almost two
years that Weijen was falling behind. hut
lie has managed to keep up all the time.
For tho last year and half he has had hard
work to prevent going under. If he had
not gone into politics lie would have been
able to pull through. but as things are now

ITO what do you attribute his failure ?"
was inquired.
ITO bad business" was the reply. His
business has been very poor for some time.

On Saturday morning definite news of
Wetien's financial condition can be OBJ
tanned after tue meeting of creditors.

Geography of the Moon.
London Telegraph.

Sir Robert Ballis reported to have said. In
ms lecture on tIe moon. tlat the geography
of our satellite was better known even than
that of the earth. There was not single
spot on the moon the size of an ordinary
parish in England that had not been fully
photographed and observed. or course this
remark can only relate TO the side of the
moon which is always turned toward ms.
Nearly one-half of her surface has never
been seen by mortal eye. and never will be.
unless the lunar globe should be tilted by
collision with comet or some such erratc
body. Otherwise il is fact that photogra-
ply has done more for the earth's attendants
than for itself. 1t is analogous to the fur
Their fact that the only things which man
can predict with certainty are not those that
happen ON the sphere he inhabits. but the
movement of worlds immensely distant.

ONE MORE DEAD.

Another boxing match has ended fatally,
this time in New York. II is not called
priZe-fght. Nothing so. brutal as that
Gloves are worn, with which the pum-
melting is pronounced softer than with bare
knuckles. Knockdown and knockout blows
are, however, as readily given with five
ounce gloves as with knuckles, and the
plea that gloves are q merciful restraint
upon brutality is not supported when a
c0mbatant is laid cut unconscious on the
floor aud does not awake 20 life. II was
the first professional hgh: of the man who
won; it is the last of the man who was
killed. After the evil is done good people
are saying that the Sheriff should have
iHterfered. AS the law of New York has
been laid down by Governor Flower, it was
the Sherff's duty to stop the encounter
But laxity in the enforcement of law is all
perva3ing in proceedings of the priZe ring.
The puglistie fraternity does not so much
admire few rounds with the gloves to test
skill as hard, slogging fight 10 a finish,
partly from enjoyment of the encounter,
but mainly to give betting peg. The vice
of betting will tolerate anything unfair or
horrible. II decent. reputable men, fond
Of athletics, would stay away from these
disgusting scenes, the rowdy, brutal ele-
ment would be compelled to deslst from
pugilsm. Il is the presence of the former
which gives a species of sanction to the
prize ring. They may deplore the excuses,
but they are not the masters when money
has been staked and conditions are signed.
The fact that they are onlookers does not
insure fair play. Passion is let loose in a
fight to a finish, just as in dog worrying
and bull-baiting, and the sordd interests of
k1rNE1 Al.
science. Twenty years ago pugilism was at
a low ebb. No decent man would allow his
name 10 be sullied by attending knuckIe
fight held clandestinely in tho fields. Now
with gloves, just as hard hitting as bare
fists, pugllism has been reinstated in good
opinion. Does it deserve it Not as long
as it is possible to kill man. Severe regn-
lation Of these contests there must be, or
they should be wholly suppressed,

converting either or both into harbors is
hardly worth a copper. Senator Frye does
not accept the report of engineers in favor
of San Pedro for some reason best known
TO himself. The fact that the Southern
Pacific Company has made extensive i'm
provements at Santa Monica is supposed TO
have some influence with him. He argues
that the Southern Pacific would not favor
Santa Monica If that was not the best loca-
tinn for a harbGr. And in making this
argument the Maine Senator shows how
little he knows of Southern Pacific methods,

TAX SHIRKERS.

The Chinese do not improve upon ac-

statement Of Chow Foo that the Chinese do
not register because if they do their names

not improve their standing as residents.

The new traffic arrangements by the Pan
ANA route have the requisite substantially
TO inspire confidence. There is every pros
pect that the Keweenaw, the third steamer
started, will leave port with full cargo of
1900 tons. AcOnsiderabe amount of freight
was left behind by the st. Paul and Mexico
and big rs abe is the Keweenaw may II OF
have space for all that offers. On the re-
turn voyage the st. Paul is loaded to her
utmost capacity with freight from New
York. All the subscriptions of $500 600
OF working capital for the North American
Navigation Company have been obtained,
and the money will be collected and depns-
tied in bank. The company and the Traffic
Association are working in harmony, and
assistance in traffic arrangements is now
available from Mr.. Z. II. Hinton, who has
arrived in San Francisco as agent of the
Panama Railroad Company. Mr.. Hinton
was formerly general freight agent Of the
Texas and Pacific Railroad.
The discussion of what the rivers can do
for shipments of freight continues to in
terest the interior of the State. Mr. George
Il. Tolman, engineer, has confidence that
the Sacramento, with the dis play of q little
enterprise, can be made naYigable up to
Redding, and is absolute ly certain no i'm
pediment stands in the way Of getting to
Red Bluff. a small canal q short distance
above the latter point would enable light
draught vessels TO 90 higher mp the river,
possibly above Redding Much lumber and
other freight would take this route. The
experiment of taking iron pipes by water to
Modesto has resulted in the steamer that
did the work being placed on that route
once week. Other places in the San
joaquin Valley are certain to agitate this
question OF water carriage. Fresno Is re-
ported to have on foot plan Of carving
freight by road fifteen miles to Lone Tree,
on the San Joaquin. which is accessible a
good part of the year by steamer. a light
railroad would De great advantage.
