Highbinders on the Warpath
in San Francisco.
They Warn All Chinese Not to
Register.
Convicted Felons Assist in the Work

Rumored Resignation of A. N. Towne
The Atchison Receivers to Take
Charge OF the Southern
California.

BY the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6.-The high
binders and keepers of disreptuable re-
sorts in Chinatown are up in arms
against the law calling for the regia-
trstion of Chinese residing in the
United States. Assisting these are
Chinese convicted of felony, who can
not register and are subject to deporta-
ton. Last night general raid was
made on all the circulars of information
posted in Chinatown and they were torn
down. A proclamation was issued by
the highbinders warning all Chinese
not to register. This proclamation has
served to carry fear into the ranks OF
the more reputable Chinese. who are
willing to register under the new
law. According to reports given out
it is apparent that the registration of
Chinese is going to be conducted under
diffienltias The situation has narrowed
down to a war between the reputable
and the di0reputable Chinese, in which
the latter have the advantage of num-
bers. Just what will follow in the event
of the reputable Chinese registering is
hard to predict, but open war is threat
ened. Every facility is offered Chinese
to register, but few are availing them
selves of the privilege.

DEMocRArIo oBJEoroRs.

The Entire California Delegation Op-
posed to the Wilson Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Sperry of Con-
necticut, who represents the Demo-
cratic objectors to the Wilson bill, says
1.-THE committee on ways and means has
reported tariff bill, showing $75,000.-
600 deficiency, and has agreed on an in
come tax. Every one is able to act in
teiiiyentiy On tho tariff e bill bill, Sss the in
ternal revenue bill has not yet been re-
ported, and nobody knows what it will
contain. 1t is understood the internal
revenue bill will be attached to the tariff
bill as an amendment, and yet the rules
committee propose to limit debate on a
matter on which no member of congress
has authentic information. Every con-
gressman is entitled to have intended
legislation put into print, with majority
and minority reports, before voting a
cloture on bill not in existence. Until
the ways and means committee decide
what they want to do, they can hardly
object if we delay further proceedings in
the house until the committee decide
what course of action they expect to
pursue"
Geary of California says he is opposed
to the Wilson bill, and shall continue to
refuse to vote. 1.-THE bill was not taken
into caucus; has not been amended to
suit Democrats, and will not pass.
think the entire California Democratic
delegation will be with me in opposing
the bill. The rates on wines and fruits
are extremely unjust. The tariff on still
wines will permit the country to be
flooded with cheap foreign wines, and
California will not be able to place q
gallon in the eastern market. We will
protest until this is changed"

pany. organized for the purpose of obtain
ing united action on the reorganization
have issued strong protest against the
plan OF reorganization recently submit
ted, OF which the most conspicuous feat
urea say there is an entire absence of
any definite statement of aHsets and
value, or the actual condition of the
company, and exorbitant assessments
are demanded to keep it alive until
some further plan is devised, which fur
ther plan would probably be an appeal

terms OF the agreement, are relieved
from any responsibility except for
the grossest maladminstration, and
who, in the main, are those
under whose management the
property reached the hands OF q re-
ceiver. The preliminary committee
submits that reorganization should be
a benefit to all the stockholders. A
plan of reorganization or adjustment is
being prepared which will be fuller,
franker and more eqitable than the one
now asked assent to, and in short time
this will be submitted to the stockhold-
ers, and they be invited to join the ap-
pointment of committee composed of
men Of national reputation, strict integ-
rity and ability to reorganize the COM
pany or adjust affairs in the best inter-

Banker Woodward OF Fresno In Serious
Trouble.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 6.-The Ex-
aminer says in few days suit of a
sensational character will be brought
against o. j. Woodward, president ol
the First National bank OF Fresno. The
action is the outgrowth of wholesale
iorgeries perpetrated by W. F. Baird
when cashier OF the Bank of MADEIRA.
Il involves $4,000, the value OF
12O shares of capital stock OF
the bank of Esinore, which Baird
hau forged and sold to Woodward, and
which Woodward sold to D. M. Tom
blin. agent of the Pacific bank. knowing
the same to be forged and worthless
paper. The Examiner prints CORE
spondence between Woodward and the
cashier of the bank of Elsinore, tending
TO prove that Woodward knew the Elsi-
more bank stock sold by him was worth
less before he sold it.

FEELING IN BRAZIL.

Ready to Revolt.

Ready to Revolt.
ST.. VINCENT, w. T.. Jan. GA dis
patch from the Associated Press corre-
spondent at Pernan.buco, dated Decem-
Der 9th, ssys: After most careful
non-psrtiean investigation, ne has been
forced to the conclusion that feeling in
favor OF the revolution is constantly
spreading in the north, and that the
presence Of government soldiers would
not be enough to restrain it, but for the
presence OF the Nictheroy and America.
If they should depart. rebellion
would break out in the south.
Even the government troops sym
pathize with the rebellion and would
not be very severe with the rebels in
case of an uprising. The crews of the
Nictheroy and America are reported to
be much dissatisfied at not receiving the
wages promised them, and it ia believed
unless paid it will be very difficult to
get them to fight. The rebellion feeling
in the north is solely against Peixoto's
military dictatorship, not in favor OF
monarchy, as they unanimously favor
the republic.
It is stated here that the Niotheroy
and her consort have been instructed
not to engage the Aquidsban and Re-
publica even should those vessela arrive
off this port. 1t is said, should the rebel
admiral be signalled, the gov
ernment vessels will put to sea
and trust to their superior speed
to escape being sheIIed by the
rebel cruisers. As already stated,
should this be the case, revolution in
Pernambuco. which will declare itself in
favor of Admiral Mello. may be expected
as soon as the government ships are out
OF sight of land. In fact, it is reported
that steps have already been taken look
ing to popular uprising in favor of the
insurgents. and the conspiretors are
only awaiting the signal to declare them
selves against Piexoto and openly fur
nish the insurgents assistance, which
they have previously been extending III
secret to the adherents OF Mello.
Should Pernambuco revolt, it is added,
it is probable that other cities and states
in the northern part Of Brazil will follow
the example.
