DEFEAT ADMITTED.
The Six Companies New
Circular.
Advice to Chinese to Comply With
the Law and Register if They
Want to Remain.

There Will be issued from the Offices of the
Six Companies to-day a circular addressed 10
all Chinese laborers in the United States recall
ing all previous recommendations made by the
Six Companies in regard to registration under
The GearyIact, and advising all Chinese who
want TO remain in this country to comply at
once with the provisions OF the McCreary law
and register. The circular VIII set forth in de
tail the efforts made to have the registration
law declared unconstitutional and the failure.
The Six Companies VIII say that the advice
now given is that suggested by T. d. Riordan
and other or their most trusted attorneys
Up 10 the present time The greatest apathy
has been shown by the Chinese in complying
with the registration law not only in this city
but elsewhere in the State, but Collector Wei
burn expects that as soon as the Six Com
panles circular reaches the masses of the Chi
neSe his deputies will be kept busy. So far
there have been almost as many inquiries by
Chinese as 10 what they shall DO 10 be deported
as there has been requests as 10 how they may
properly register. From San Francisco alone
there Will undoubtedly be upward OF 5000
candidates for deportation, and other parts of
the state will furnish corresponding quotas.
The full text OF the Six Companies circular
Will be published in THE CALL.

EXCELLENT MUSIC

playing a graceful "Adaglo Cantabile," by

however, proved herself quite equal 10 the task

Her second aria LET the Instrument Re-

although the music that BiZeI put into the
mouth OF Merrimes heroine always sounds
more acceptable when sung by mezZo-soprano,
and Mrs. Lewis voice was scarcely heavy
enough TO do thorough justice 10 Let the Iu-
strument Resound"; her rendering of IL, how.
ever. was good.
Miss Blanche HOLSTERS singing gave great
satisfaction. She was described IN the pro-
gramme as a contraito. although her organ has
more tie quality OF a low meZzO. That Is only
a detail, however,; her voice was we'll placed
moreover with taste and expression. Once
indeed in her first song LAS at Dawn" there
