TO TEST THE CHINESE LAW.
Mr.. Choate Says Men Cannot BE Labele
Like Sheep.

MIR. Choate Says Men Cannot Be Labeled
Like Sheep.
Dispatches from San Francisco announcing
the intention of the Chinese Six Companies to
test in the courts the constitutionality of the
Geary act requiring all Chinese TO register has
been confirmed by inquiries in New York.
Plans have been made to make the test a
thorough one. the Six Companies having en-
gagged James c. Carter. Joseph II. Choate and
Maxwell Evarts of New York and j. Hubley
Ashton of this city to join with the regular at
torneys of the companies in this effort
Circulars have been sent out by the Six Com
panies advising Chinese laborers not to regis
ter, required under the Geary law, on the
ground that the law is unconstitutional and
cannot be enforced. The plan of the COM
panies is. as reported. to have an arrest made,
and. when the immediate deportation of the
offender against the law shall have been or
dered by the court writ of habeas corpus
will be obtained ard the case carried to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Mr.. Choate said in New York Saturday that
he did not see how the constitutionality of law
to label men like sheep could be maintained in
this country. and that the attack upon it as I'M
constitutional must in his opinion, prove
effective. He said he had not considered the
point made by the Six COMPANIES that the law
was in violation of treaty rights. While posi-
bly, it might involve infringement OF the
treaty stipulations OF 1882. the reliance OF the
opponents of the law rested on much broader
grounds.

Attack OF French Socialists Upon . Catholic
Meeting.

Attack OF French Socialists Upon q Catholic
Meeting.
Socialists at Roubsix. France, yesterday
stormed a hall in which Catholics were having Q
meeting. When the rioters had broken in the
doors several Catholics tried to bar their
progress into the meeting. The rioters threw
them down and forced their way to the platform,
where the priests had raised an altar and placed
a crucifix. They spit on the crucifix, broke it
into fragments and tossed the pieces into the
congregation. The priests, hoping to allay the
excitement, began to intone anthems. Their
calmness only aggravated the ugliness Of the
mob.
The priests were attacked, knocked down,
carried to the doors and thrown into the streets.
While some of the rioters drove out the mon.
women and children Of the congregation, others
smashed the furniture in the hall. Many wo-
men and several men were severely injured by
being knocked down and tramplsd while the
rioters were ejecting them.
The police did not arrive in sufficient force
to control the mob until after the hall had been
emptied Of the Catholics and all the furniture
had been destroyed. Numerous arrests have
been made, and more are expected to follow.
