Carven in dome and minaret,

Rich tones of blue and violet.
And then in olive jewel burns
And sparkles in the liquid light,
And suddenly 10 torquoise turns
Upon the chill unbroken light.

Wind polished as its light il throws,
And bright amid the lively sheen
Flash beryl chrysoprase and rose.

MONEY IS SCARCE.
$4,000 to Enforce the
Exclusion Act.
The Habeas Corpus Mill Closed.
Chinese VIII Now Come as Ma
tive Sons and Daughters.

Congress appropriated only $50, 900 for
the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion
act. The customs and revenue officers
whose duty IL is TO arrest and cause the
deportation OF Chinese who did not regis
ter and of Chinese who enter the country
unlawfully learned yesterday bow small q
sum Congress deemed sufficient for the
work. The information came in the form
of an official circular from the Secretary
OF the Treasury and was as follows:
To prevent unlawful entry OF Chinese into the
United States by the appointment Of suitable
officers TO enforce the laws 10 relation thet o
ana Tor the expenses OF returning 10 China all
Chinese persons found 10 be unlawfully in the
United States, including the cost of imprtsOn-
ment and the actual expense OF conveyance OF
Chinese persons to the frontier or seaboard for
deportation and for enforcing the provisions of
the act OF Nav 8, 1892 entitled IAN act to pro-
hibit the coming OF Chinese persons into the
United States,' $4,000 is Appropriated
In every case where an alien Is excluded from
admission into the United States under any law
or treaty now existing or hereafter under the
decision of The appropriate immigration or Gus
toms Officers, II adverse 10 the admission of
such alien. shall be nDal unless reversed on ap-
peal to the Secretary of the Treasury.
The last paragraph winds up the habeas
corpus mill. 1t means that when China
man comes TO this country and is forbidden
10 land by the Collector of the Port he
cannot petition the court for a writ of
habeas corpus on the ground that be is en-
titled to land. If the ruling is constitu-
tional, which is doubted. the income of the
United States District Attorneys office and
the United States Commissioner will be
greatly diminished. The District Attor-
ney has been paid a stated amount for
every habeas corpus case tried by him and
for every such case Commissioner Heacock
has received S. Collector Wise, Senator
White aud Congressman Mcguire are re-
spOnsible for the rule that places so much
power in the Collectors hands and cuts
off the revenues of the attorney and com
missioner.

AUSTRALIAN AFFAIRS.
Bryce of Brisbane on Affairs in the
AntipOdeS.


r. Lee Bryce, one of the passengers on
the steamer Monowai. which arrived yes
terday, spoke OF affairs in Samoa, whence
he comes Immediately. He said:
Il found that the natives detested the
Germans, who have been carrying things
with a high hand. They did not speak
over-kindly of the English. All their syu-
pathies are with America. They regard
Americans as their friends and have very
little use for any other nationality"
Mr.. Bryce is the CITY Inspector Of Bris-
bane, tie capital of Queensland, and is the
grand district secretary for the Scottish
Rite Of Mas0ns' in the colony. Masonry,
he declared, had a very firm footing ia
Australia aud the membership was grow
ing rapidly.
In speaking of the business situation of
the colonies Mr.. Bryce said:
"Australia has suffered from a frIghtful
crisis Tie bank failures have been heavy
and business has been greatly depressed
Victoria has felt the depression more Sc
verely than the other colonies and In spite
of measures Of economy has been unable
to keep within its income. Queensland is
better of than the other colonies. Busi-
ness is improving. There is a boom
among the sugar-planters and | think
within two years the colony will have re-
gained nearly all that was lost
Queensland desires Australian fedora
ton to a maD," continued Mr.. Bryce
New South Wales has been the stumbling
block, but the Government recently elected
favors the idea and l think we are on the
eve of Its accomplishment.
The commonwealth Of Australia will
include the colonies of Queensland, New
South Wales. Victoria, South Australia
and West Australia. l hardly think that
Tasmania and New ZEALAND viii come in
just now"
The gold discoveries in West Australia,
Mr. Bryce thought, mad not been exagger-
a,ed. and he thought the new fields would
prove a great aid in reviving business
throughout all Of the colonies.

THE VALLEY ROAD.
Why 1t Can Easily Be
Made to Pay.
Traffic Manager Leeds Gives Figures
Showing the Southern Pacific
Disadvantages.

Traffic Manager Leeds declares that the
valley road for which subscriptions are
now being taken can be made to pay from
the start. To Illustrate his point he gives
some Southern Pacific statistics.
'Forty-five per cent of the mileage of
the Southern Pacific system is within the
limits of the State of California. This 45
per cent Of mileage earns 5515 per cent of
the gross earnings OF the entire Southern
Pacific lines, Which include both the Pa,
cifc and Atlantic systems, taking in, oi
course. the Central Pacific and Oregon
lines, and IN ia CT all lines OF the Southern
Pacific wherever they are.
Now" said Mr.. Leeds, Gin view of thi:
ii cannot be q uestiOned that road wholly
within the valleys of California must carr
lots of money. Practically 10 per cent o
the Southern Pacific system in the Sar
Joaquin Valley earns 16 per cent of the
gross revenue Of the whole system"
There would be no tax on the valley
road, Mr.. Leeds added, to keep unproduc.
tive lines, so that it would not be difficult
10 maintain the projected road at rate,
greatly less than those now charged by the
Southern Pacific.
An informal meeting of the Traffic As
ISOLATION will be held tomorrow morning
W poIIcct arrangements IOT securing sup
scriptions for the valley road. The asso-
citation has posted the sign: POSITIVELY no
employment for any one in any capaci y"

il IS necessary 10 hire help.

WET AND SUDDEN
Heavy Rain in a General
DoWnpour.
Forecast Officials Do Not Consider
That the Storm Will Prove of
Much Damage.

quite unexpected was the rain which
visited the city yesterday and still more
unexpected was the heavy gale which &C.
companied it during the early morniUg
hours. The weather bureau officials had
Oeen laboring under a presentiment fol-
several days past, but after keeping the
s'rlctest of watches on the movement of the
elements and the workings of the deli ats
1orecasing instruments, the best they
were able to do was 10 predict rain as fan
south as Eureka. But shortly before s
O'Clock Yesterday morning Weather Oh
server Hammon became convinced that a
big storm was pending, aud accordingly
warnings were sent out TO all the raisin
and fruit-drying districts of the State as
far south as Tehachapi Pass. 1t was moi
deemed necessary to send warnings aDy
farther south than the point named, and
Los Angeles, for the time being, was
omitted.
Hardly had the warnings been sent and
the signals hOiSted than the downpour
commenced, catching pedestrians un-
awares, and in few hours choking up
sewers and flooding crossings in all parts
of the city. The dOWnpOur continued
without interruption throughout the day,
and late in the afternoon the gauge regis
tered quarter Of an inch. Special reports
were called for ut noon from outside Sta
tioCs, and it was learned that rain CON-
menced falling at Point Reyes at 6 80 A. NJ.
and at Red Bluff at $40 A NJ. No rain
was reported at Fresno or Los Angeles,
but San Luis ObispO was visited at IL
O'Clock. Sacramento experienced a slight
shower, and from al indications it is pre-
sumed that the rainfall will be general
throughout the State.
The weather observer states that storm
of unusual severity is central at sea off the
Oregon coast, and the Storm center is
moving south and east at very rapid
pace. The wind is blowing at the rate of
forty miles an hour off the Columbia
River and viii probably change 10 the
southwest during the next twelve hours.
The red flag displayed on the signal sta
ton yesterday indicates a storm on the
northern coast from Point Reyes to Puget
Sound.
1t Is hot thought probable that the pres
ent rainfall will be produc i've of much
damage TO the raisin and fruit-drying H.
dustries, and on the contrary it NAV prove
beneficial 10 pasturage and farms. Owing
to the pro liability OF the movement of the
storm center southwark Observer Ham.
mon does not look for any particular clear
