Doc, BarbadOe. want to Come Imp


The correspondent OF the New York Times
at Bridgetown, in Barbados. gives very
interesting account Of the growing value
OF that island a. q port OF call aud coallng
station for American vessels, and finds that
among lts old residents our countrymen
are very popular. They spend more money
there he says, than other visitors. and
when an American war ship ls In port. there
ia general stirring up Of life at the hotel.
He has heard many leading young Bar
badians declare openly their dislike OF
English rule. and express the wish that
some day the island may come under
American control" One young man, In a
public place, and In the presence Of English
officials, exclaimed that the proudest mo-
mont OF life to him and other Barbadians
would be when they should lowe allie
glance only to the American flag"
II is further said that Barbados 10 con-
sldered by American war ships to be the
best coallng port in the windward Islands,
after St. Thomas and st. Lucia. Especially
when they are going to the South Atlantic
these vessels find that Barbados Is Just

The Newark and the Detroit touched at
Barbados on their last voyage to Rio, as
did the cutter Grant on her way to the Pa

manage to visit the island.
But we think that SO long as Great
Britain maintains st. Lucia as one OF her
great strategic outposts and fortified naval
stations for the watch and ward OF our At
lantic seaboard. Barbados. the near neigh
Dor OF st. Lucia, will be held also in tight
grasp. Besides. IL the young Barbadians
are looking forward with hope to casting in
their lot with the American Union, they
may as well keep quiet about 1t during Mr..
CLEvELAND's Administration. He does not
favor the annexation Of islands at a dis

ground for welcoming even those that do

How often VIII All Jim Register

The highbinders OF San Francisco have
improved the absence OF the Chinese Consul
on visit to Washington. to bulldoze their
eountrymen who may he inclined to reg
lister under the MCCREARY. or amended
GEARY, law. They have torn down the
posters that had been affixed through
Chinatown explaining the requirements Of
the new registration law. and have clrcu-
lated commands not to register.
This is fume aud folly on the part OF the
highbinders. since it is understood that
more potent authorities than they will
throw their influence in favor OF registra-
ton. In fact. the only fear Of some Califor-
mans is that the Chinese may register too
much. This notion. which is novel and
curious. was set forth In letter which Mr..
PERKINS received from II friend. and read
some time ago in Congress:
by the extension OF time for registration Afforded
by tho McoRzARv act every Chiuaman will register
doubt-it their companies permit them-but he will
not stop at registration; he will register half
dozen times For Instance. Al jim will register at San
Francisco to-day as An JIM lie will register the next
day at OAKLAND or MERGED as An Sis. His personal APP
peArancs may he different each time. As An Bun he
registers the following day at Fresno and An JouS tho
next day At san Francisco or some other city. A
Mr.. PERKINS remarked that rs no penalty
Is fixed upon All JIM for extra registration.
provided he does not represent his name as
All Sin. he can go through California pro-
curing certificates for cousins and the
cousins OF cousins. and then send the sur
plus certificates to China. where they will
have a market value. The way In which
tho multitudnous population OF the Flowery
Kingdom may then DO used by the ccrtiii-
cate broker In the second stage of tho sup
posed fraud. is thus set forth:
The broker will have 400 600 oo) to p,ck from, and
all the Chinese are smooth shaven ami IJok alike
anyhow. II will not be dihcut Tor the broker mud
NJ each certificate. BY the time the Eegstrs.
sion under the law cos.s will have issued possibly
half million certificates and will thereby legsIe t
presence in this country OF 10000 Cinnamon more
than are here now"
The third step wou! lie the smuggling in
OF the Cinnamon thus lifted out. by way OF
Canada. Mexico. or the West Indies.
We think. however. that needless cause
OF alarm has been raised in the minds
OF Congressman PERKINS, correspondent
and his friends as well MS in the minds
OF those who assign much Importance tn
tho Observation-Disclosures fury of the high
binders Until evidence to the contrary is
furnished. we shall expect our Chinese resi-
dents to register once. and once only. Long
before the period OF probation is ended. We
shall expect to SEQ them tiocking to the reg
istratun Offices To contribute llkenesses OF
their smiling faces To the national portrait
gallery. and TO secure. in return, certificates
of protection in the land where they are
living happily and amassing fortunes.

PRAYER MEETING FOR POLICEMEN.

First Service OF the Srries Conducted by
the Christian Police Association.
A prayer meeting for policemen was held In
the rooms of the New York Christian Police
Association at 235 West Thirtieth street at 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Two active and
two retired policemen and eight women were
present. and they prayed and sang for an hour.
One OF the retired policemen was James Brit
ton once the talest member OF the Broadway
squad. He Ia blind.
The meeting was the first of a series. which
will extend through the week. Secretary j. l..
Spicer. who conducted the meeting, said:
The object OF this organization 10 to spread
among policemen q desire TO worship God.
We afford them an opportunity Of coming here
at any time to pray or Join with us In singing
Every one OF our members takes pledge to
pray for the police every day."

We have law which provides for the
settlement OF the contention between Superin-
tcndent BLAKE OF the Department of Charities
and Commissioner OF linn lgration SESSER.
The Superintendent sent to the Com N lss ion or
seven paupers. recent immigrants that lie
might provide for their return to the countries
from which they came. The Com missoner
refused to accept the paupers. and the su-
perintendent was unwilling to pay their pas
sage to Europe as he has paid the passage OF
other paupera. The law on the subject Is ex-
plicit. 1t provides that any shipping company
which brings here "paupsrs or persons likely
to become public charge" shall be required
to return them. at its own cost. to the ports
whence they came and this requirement
holds good for one year after any such alien
may have entered tho United states The
responsibility. therefore, for the nAupers Of
recent immigration whom the Superintendent
sent to the Commissioner lies with the ship
ping company or companies which brought
them here. All companies must be held to
strict account in every ease In which they vio-
late our immigration laws. We admit that
they arc now more careful than they we're in
other times yet. beyond doubt. thousands
OF immigrants who are n public charge here
this winter were brought over last year. and
are liable 20 be sent back at the expense OF the
offending companies. II is wrong that the
people OF this country should be asked to sup
port the piupers shipped here from Europe. or
to pay their passage back there
