California and Nevada Guardsmen to
Compete on Sunday.
SAN FRANCISCO, May A rifle contest
of unusual interest to National Guards
men of California and Nevada teams will
be held between representatives ofservice
in both States on Sunday. The match
will be photographic one," and will de-
termine in great measure what title
Company 3 of the First California In
fantry has to the worlds record and the
honor of the championship by teams of
thirty men.
In order that Company f of the First
Infantry of the Nevada National Guard
might have an opportunity to test the
excellence Of BIS score, an invitation was
sept to Nevada from this city some
months ago, requesting au interstate com
petition. Arrangements have since been
Inade and two of the foremost rifle teams
on the coast will do battle on Sunday for
the championship, priced above all others
in National Guard circles.
In all the history of Pacific Coast
craftsmanship there have very rarely
been contests in which more than twenty
men participated on each side. The re-
1narkable Improvement recently made
by military companies in rifle-firing
science has rendered it possible to bring
larger teams together. Honors in such
matches are more eagerly sought for, as
indicating not only team superiority, but
also supremacy among entire companies
OF rifiemen.
In the match announced for Sunday
Company b will shoot at Shell Mound,
and the Nevada company on its own
range in Carson City. Immediately as
firing ceases at each range the results will
be exchanged by telegraph. The targets
of the teams will be exchanged later by
express. Proceedings will be directed
by representatives of the two companies

CHINESE REGISTRATION ACT.
General Compliance With the Law
All Parts of the Country.

General Compliance With the Law In
All Parts of the Country.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Yesterday was
the last day for registration under the
McCreary Act. 1t is learned that there
has been a general compliance with the
law in all parts of the country. The only
notable exception to the rule, as far as
learned. has been in the mountainous
districts of Montana, where deep SHOWS
and the rigors of winter have prevented
those living in the interior from reaching
points where registration books were
open. In these sections the deputies have
been obliged TO travel on snowshoes and
endure hardships which the Chinese
would hardly be expected to undergo.
According to the census returns of 1890
there was approximately 107, 800 Chinese
In this country, and it is believed about
this number have registered. Under a
recent opinion of the AttorneyGeneral,
Chinese merchants who left the United
States temporarily prior to Novem ber 3,
1898, will be permitted to return within a
reasonable time, providing their individ-
ual names appear in the firm designated.
Members of the firms whose individual
names do not appear. except in the gen.
eral designation OF the company, will not
be permitted to return. While no ruling
has yet been made on the point, it is be-
lieved that firm members who left the
United States prior to November Sd
without knowing that as the law then
stood they would not be permitted to re-
turn will be allowed to prove that they
are bona fide members of firms, pro-
vided, however, that the firm name be at
once changed SO as to include their sew
eral names. 1t is the opinion of some of
the officials that if this restriction is
literally and rigidly enforced, fully 90 per
cent. of all the merchants who left this
country prior to November Sd will be de-
barred from returning.

Capitol Grounds Act Declared Con.

Disheartened.

Special to the REcoRD-UNroN.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Coxey and his
Lieutenants. Brown and Jones, were ar
raigned in the District Police Court to- day
for violation of the Capitol Grounds Act
The courtroom was filled, the Populist
members of Congress constituting a
notable part of the assemblage. Attor-
neys Hyman and Lipscomb, for defend
ants, raised the issue of the constitutional
ity of the law under which their clients
are arrested.
The point was argued by Senator Allen
of Nebraska. Congress-" he said, 'had
no power to confer upon the Vice Presi-
dent and Speaker the right to suspend
the enforcement of an Act any more than
it had any right to confer power upon the
Car of Russia" He denounced the
courts tor assuming legislative functions.
This case, the Senator declared, would
assume national importance. He quoted
magma charta and American revolution
ary history, and declared the arrest of
defendants implied the denial of the
rights of peaceable assemblage and petit
ton. Those rights were guaranteed in the
Constitution, and covered every spot in
the District of Columbia just as much as
| in California, Texas or Florida.
| Judge Miller, after the arguments were
closed, overruled the objections of coun-
sci, holding the Capitol Grounds Act con-
stitutional. He also denied Coxey spe-
| cial trial.
| The impanelling Of a jury occupied two
| hours. The Secretary of the Board of
Trade was peremptorily challenged by
the defense. Maloney made an opening
statement for the prosecution.
The trial will be continued tomorrow,
and the attorneys stated to the Court to-
day that they expected to conclude then.
UNoRGANIzRD BODY OF TRAMPs.
TACOMA (Wash.), May 4.-The North
western Industrial Army has degen
Grated into an unorganized body of
tramps. No freight trains were sent out
to-day eastbound, and the men will have
no chance to steal rides until the overland
train leaving here at IL P. NJ. passes.
They are scattered to the number of
about 500 between Puyallup and the
summit of the Cascades waiting for a
chance to sneak on to the blind baggage

KELLy's MEN STARVING.
DEs MONIES. May 4.-Kelly's Indus
trials are disheartened. At break fast
| time the commissary officers reported
! 900 loaves of bread on hand. but scarcely
enough meat and coffee to supply the
officers mess. Kelly drew on the treas
ury for money to buy meat and coffee
and Governor Jackson is endeavoring to
procure cheap rates to the river, bat is
not confident of success. To carry the
| men to the Mississippi at full fare would
cost Sc, 500 and the railroads will accept
nothing less.
1t is the general impression that Kelly
will be starved out and the army dwindle
to corporars guard before the river is

Judge Scott Talks Regarding His Be-
ing a Candidate for President.
PORT TOWNSEND (Wash.), May A.
Judge Scott, brother-in-law of ex-Presi-
dent Harrison, with whom he spent sew
eral weeks in California, says: 1.-THE ex-
President himself is not a candidate for
reelection in 1896 on the Republican
ticket. Mr.. Harrison said the Republi-
eau nomination was equivalent to an
election, but on account of family afflic-
ton he was not anxious to enter the con-
test for another term, although I believe
if the nomination was rendered him he
would accept and make the campaign.
But he is too shrewd and reserved and
calculating to his friends to announce his
candidacy two years in advance OF the
assembling of the nominating conven-
tion, even if he wanted the nomination.
He is very well satisfied with his admin
istration, and believes in letting well
enough alone. General Harrison does
not consider it dignifying or proper for
an ex-President TO engage in a wild
scramble for office.o
New YORK, May 4. Ex-President
Harrison arrived in New York tonight,
and was driven to the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel. He says his visit to the city is on
private business, and disclaims any idea
of becoming a candidate for the Presi-
Cency in 1885,

Representatives Docked for the Days
They We're Absent From the House.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Congressional
salaries for the month of April became
due to-day, so members had their first
experience with the new procedure of
docking for absenteeism. Up to last
night 213 members had filed their certif-
Gates showing the number of days, if any,
they had been absent. To-day about
fifty certificates were put in, leaving
about 100 unaccounted for. The great
majority of the members certify that they
have not been absent all, and the most of
them that certify to absence limit the
period to one or two days. At this rate
the total deductions will be small. The
Congressman are showing an uneasiness
in making out the certificates, as there is
nothing behind their word of honor to
show how many days they have been
absent. They feel reluctant to surrender
a part of their salary, and yet are bound
in honor to report the days for which the
deductions should be made.
A Bishop Joins the Salvation Army.
ST.. LOUIS, May 4.-The announcements
by Mrs. Ballington Booth at the Midland
Congress of the Salvation Army, that
Bishop d. S. Tuttle of the Missouri do
cese of the Protestant Episcopal Church

erable excitement. 1t was further an
nounced that he is the first Bishop in the

thirty-five and forty-five feet away from
the platform on which the contestants
stood.

tackle for distance, was won by old John
Beun. "Boys." he said, as he walked to
the casting-stage and peeled off his coat

I've handled pole like this, but haven't
