WESTERN ATHLETICS.
Prospects for Hight Glass Inter Cole
giate Athletics Never Brighter.

| The Chicago Times raid OF Monday
morning speaks as follows of the pros
poets Of Western intercollegiate Ath-
letics.
Prospects for high-class interco,-
legiate athletics were never brighter
in the west than at present Already
the colleges and universities composing
the membership of the Western Inter-
collegiate Amateur Athletic association
are getting last years men out for
training, while their coaches and ply
| steal directors are critically examining
the men new this year for promising
material. Unless all signs fail the
track and field meet to be held in this
city In June will surpass all previous
events in the history of the association
One encouraging feature of the situa-
ton is the determination of the young
athletes to put the affairs of the as
sociation on methodical and business
like basis. The recommendations sub
mltted by the games committee were
drawn up for that purpose. There
seems to be little opposition to the
feature calling for graduate committee
to decide all protests involving profess
sionalism and such disputes Sentiment
is not so unanimous, however, on the
subject Of the graduate committee con-
Quoting the annual games. Several of
the colleges, notably Wisconsin, are said
to regard the division of the work
among several men as lessening the re-
sponsibility and therefore undesirable
Concentration Of the executive power
and work In one man, who should de-
vote his whole time to the work, is
the substitute suggested.
Dual and triangular meets IN this
city between certain universities no
doubt initiates somewhat against the
big affair, and this year the dates will
be arranged to prevent any such possible
conflicts. j. Harlan Rush, captain Of
the Grinnell College track 'eam, was in
the city last week and had talk with
Secretary Coulter regarding the new
recommendations He reports every
thing booming in the hawkeye state.
The team loses the services Of Palmer,
! its distance man, who has gone to
Princeton. but has other men who are
expected to turn out well.
Ed Moulton will have charge OF the
cardinal squad at Madison. The Wis
consin men have done little practice as
yet, but may be expected to do good
work under the efficient trainer. Most
of the championship 1896 team are back
including the point-gaining trio, May
bury. Richards and Cochems.
The temperance Of Michigan in the
intercollegiate fold with its large fol
lowing of alumni will do much for the
west. both from a financial and athletic
standpoint. The early enthusiasm al
Ann Arbor augurs well for good train
Northwestern, under the new trainer
Bryan, and the University Of Chicago
under Stagg, possess the advantage OF
proximity, being able to enter a large
number OF men and gaining points for
seconds and thirds. Illinois, Minnesota
State University OF Iowa, De PAW, Be-
lott, Lake Forest Oberlin. Purdue and
Center College are also confident OF
sending a few Joint winners to the
Chicago meet

Washington, March Monday the
house galleries were thronged with WIS.,
itors all day, but The crowds witnessed
nothing beyond the dullest of routine
matters until the las half hour of the
session, when the bill TO prohibit the
prize-fights by mail or telegraph was
brought up. This led to a very lively
skirmish in which prize-fghting was
denounced on all sizes and the advo-
Gates of the bill insisted that the sick
ening details should be suppressed in
the interest of good morals, But the
bill met with the most strenuous oppo-
sition on the ground that It would tend
to establish censorship Of the press
AT the end of the debate, participated
in by Messrs. Aldrich rep, ND, Gros-
venor rep, o. and Morse rep,
Mass in favor Of the bill, and by
Messrs. Dockery dem, Mo- and
Cummings (dem., N. Y.) in opposition,
the adversaries of the measure out
voted the friends of the bill on several
filibustering motions, but an agreement
for a recess until 10 o'clock today put
an end to the hostilities. The bill
now becomes unfinished business when
ever the call OF committees is reached,
but as the conference reports have the
right of way, it is doubtful whether thai
order of busin ass will again be
reached at his session.
The senate bill to test the merits Of
the patent postal card of the Economic

SENATE.

Washington March 2-Monday the
senate pressed steadily forward on the
appropriation bills, making such pro-
gress that no further apprehension is
felt as to the passage of these great ifs
cal measures. The District of Columbia
bill was passed early in the day. The
navel bill brought out hot contest
on the price of armor plate and the es-
adjustment Of government armor
factory. The senate committee had
recommended maximum price of $500
per ton for armor. Mr. Chandler en-
deavored to have the p'ice fixed at $500.
Senator Tillman dem, s. CO. pro-
voked a turbulent scene during the even
ing session when he charged that the
plate manufacturers had their paid
agents in the body who were robbng
the government. The charge was re-
scented by Senator Hawley rep, Conn }
whereupon Mr.. Tillman replied that
"the CALLED jade winces," and it looked
for a time as though a personal con-
flict was imminent, until Mr.. Hawley
was escorted to a cloakroom. Mr.. Quay
followed Mr.. Tillman's speech to lay
Mr.. Chambers motion on the table.
The Chandler motion was lost by vote
Of ~ to 36.

CHINESE EXCLUSION LAWS,
GAGE AND M'KENNA ISSUE A
JOINT CIRCULAR.
New Scheme to be Followed Which it
Is Believed Will be More Effect
i've Than the Plans Now In Vogue.

Washington, Aug. 30.-secretary Gage
and Attorney General McKenna issued
Z joint circular today to collectors and
customs officers and United States at
torneys and marshals relative to the
enforcement of the Chinese exclusion
laws. The circular says:
In order more effectively to prevent
the irregular admission to this country
OF Chinese persons claiming to be of
American BIRTH through the submission
of testimony believed to be fraudulent.
1T has been decided to allow such per-
sons, upon The admission ait the port
OF first arrival to proceed to their des-
tinations. where they may be arrested
and more Vigo4 ously prosecuted than
appears to be at present practicable.
Collectors of customs at ports where
the Chinese of alleged American birth
apply for admission TO this country,
should, after such examination as may
be required to secure their identity,
destination, etc, of such Chinese per-
sons, and allow them to proceed on
their journey, but in each instance
measures should be taken to arrest
them again and deliver them to the
proper authorities for the institution
of legal proceedings to determine their
riSnt TO remain IN the country. Inc
department. attention has been called
to instances where Chinese persons sus-
pected of being irregularly in the Unit
ed States, upon being interrogated have
produced certificates signed by a Unit
ed States commissioner stating that
the persons had appeared before him
and had been adJudged to be lawfully
in the United States as they were cfti
zens. BY the provisions of the act of
May 6, 1882, state and federal courts
are prohibited from admitting Chinese
to citizenship, and the question whether
children of Chinese parents born in
the United States are citizens is now
pending in the supreme court Until
otherwise ordered, all Chinese found in
this country who are unable to produce
laborers' certificates of registration or
evidence of their status as bona f1de
merchants or Iaborers in transit to
other countries, should be arrested by
Chinese immigrant inspectors and
delivered to the proper legal authorf-
ties fer the determination of their iigh.
to remain in the country"

tons to customs officials, and fnstructs

1t is estimated that no less than 500
people have visited Ensign peak since
the hosting of the memorial flag. The
staff is covered for distance of sew
eral feet from the ground with the in
itials and names of those who have
made the trip. In this connection, it
might be as well to call the attention
of the proper authorities to the fact
that there are several dangerous pros
poet holes near the road leading to the
peak. and some of them must be at
least 80 feet deep. 1t would take but
a few dollars to make them secure and
these few dollars might save several
lives.
