THE GOVERNMENT CIRCUMVENTED.
The time (or the registration of Chi
nese will expire tomorrow. Not one in
a hundred—nay, not one in a thousand—
lias complied with the law. The Chi
nese Six Companies, who seem to be
above the law, and hare provsd them
selves in this instance stronger than an'
uct cf congress, ordered their country
men to psy no atttntion to it, and these
have dutifully obeyed. Instead of going
after and pnnishing the contemptuous
companies for their rebellious attitude,
the government has not only condoned
their offense, but has actually co oper
ated with them to secure the nul
lification of the law, by suspending
it until adecision on itsconstitntionality
can be obtained by tho supreme court.
This is an entire reversal of the principle
of Jedburg justice, which provided for
the hanging ol the prisoner first and
then investigating Into his guilt. The
inhibited people are allowed to defeat
tho possibility of registration, and then
we are to find oat whether registration
is legal or not.
The Geary law plainly provides that
all Chinese shall register, and with the
certificate in tt «ir possession they would
have the evidence of their right to re
main in tho country. But they must do
this on or before the sth of May, 189.T
If they have not registered by that date
it 1b ipso facto evidence that they have
no right to domicile in the country, and
the penalty Is deportation. Now, if the
supreme court, decides the law to be con
stitutional there is nothing left for the
government to do but to deport those
who come under its ban. There is no
way in which tho latter can purge them
selves of the oirense; for the time will
havo passed when they can legally regis
ter themselves.
But will the government have the
nerve to carry ont what the law makes
it its plain duty to do? No one believes
it will. The same spirit ol lorbearance
and of deference to the defiant attitude
of the Chinese will operate to make the
government hesitate to forcibly extrude
the several huudred thousand Chinese
who have defied registration. The su
preme court may not render its decision
for months after a case has been made
up, argued and submitted, and the gov
ernment will doubtless in the meantime
look for an escape from the dilemma in
which it has p'lseed itself by a uew act
oi congress which will cure tho difficulty
tbat has been permitted to o-riße.
All this honeyfugling and temporizing
on the part of our government will con
firm the wily Ohinaae in their ahilitv m
circumvent any law we may enact
against their coming here. In 1882 a
law waa passed to restrict Chinese im
migration, through which they passed as
water runs through an open gate. The
act was amended in ' K4, but it still
failed to perform the function for which
it was designed. Then came ths exclu
sion act itself, in 1888. That act denied
the Chinese privileges which the treaty
had granted them, but the supreme
court held it to he constitutional as a
later expression of the will of tbe peo
ple than the treaty, which holdn the
ssme place under the constitution as an
act of congress. In practire it was found
that the exclusion act did not exclude,
but tbat the Chinese came in as numor
onsly as ever over tho boundary lines of
our country at the north and at the
south. It was found that the only way
to make the exclusion law effective was
to require the Chinese already in the
country to register, and the Geary bill
provided that this «hould be done.
lint now, aftor all this legislation, cul
minating in an act to make exclusion
elective, we are to be treated w.th an
other huge failure. Chinese cunning
and preßiimrJtioi) have proved tpo much
for us, and it is no wonder tbat tho>
hold us ar.d onr laws in contempt. Tbe |
Chinese «ix oompanibs, who are all j
powerful with the Mongolians, seem a;eo
to he all powerful with our own govern
ment, as far as Chinese questions are
conoerned. Heretofore they ha coined
money out of their countrymen by
smuggling them into the Hoi ted States.
Tney were not willing to fore*;;' this
great source of revenue, bo thm set
themselves to the task to out/..' our
government, and they I.aye done sim a
manner so thorough and complete as to
place us in a most ridiculous light ba
fo-e the Chinese and everybody else.
The government at Washington may
rule Americans; but the Chinese six
compnnins rnle their own people in deti
auce of all we may do to the contrary.

] JcnoK Ross refused yesterday to grant
an injunction to restrain parties from
nutting timber on lands which were
claimed by the' Southern Pacific to come
under their grant, and which it was un
derstood a late decision of the supreme
court of the United States restored to
the publio domain. These lands, it
ceems, were originally withdrawn from
pre-emption or sale for the benefit of
the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad com
pany, bnt as that corporation never
complied with the conditions of the
grant by building their railway, the
Southern Pacific company, which did
hnitd their road, treated them as public
lands to which they were entitled under
their grant. The supreme court held
that these lands could not bs taken by
.another railway corporation whilst they
were reserved for tho benefit of the At
lantic and Pacific company, whose right
to them must be duly declared forfeited
by the granting power before they
could be restored to the pub
lio domain. Judge Ross evidently
has his doubts as to whether the
scope of the supremo court decision is
sufficiently broad and sweeping to defeat
the claim Of the Southern Pacific com
pany. At least Judge Boss's decision
Would imply that certain points which
militate against the construction that,
uider the supreme court's decision, tbe
lands in question are now public landß,
must be made more clear. The infer
ence from the attitude taken by Judge
Ross is that the right of tbe Southern
Pacific to the lands listed for the Atlan
tic and Pacific company is not ret arlju
dirala.
AMUSEMENTS
Los Anoemis Thkatir—Tonight the
Prodigal Father company will' begin the
engagement which will laet through the
week. The company is composed of ex
cellent artists and the play is described
as being funny to a degree.
Accompany ing theaflair is Carmencita,
tho noted Spanish dancer, who will give
a number of the dances which have
made her famous the worid over. She
carries a moat elaborate wardrobe.
Oarmsncita will not only dance the
Oachnca, but will also give her other two
beautiful dances, Sandiago and the' Vol
unteers. In the performance of the El
Vieto she presents a luxurious picture,
a picture which the New York Herald
bss described as being equal to the
daintiest painting of the world-famed
artist, Gautier. What a magnificent
acknowledgment from so great a jour
nal. The comedy, The Prodigal Fatiior,
which has met with Buch enormous suc
cess at the Broadway theater, New York,
and during which Oarmencita appears,
in intensely funny. The author, Mr.
(il«n ' MmMV" . v -- > ••- 1"4 —,
larly happy in weaving out an original
plot while his dialogue and situations
are of the jolliest description. The play
is in three acts, and deals chiefly with
the humoroaa predicaments into which
a rakish old gentleman entwines himself
through his becoming enamored of a
serio comic singer. In the company are
Messrs. George Den ham, George C. Bin
iface jr., Walter Thomas, George Gas
ton, Frank Caldwell, Cecil Kingstone,
the Misses Blanche-Chapman Ford, Cora
Macy, Marguerite Franklin and Little
Irene Franklin.
The Creation was a gem and its per
formance last night at the Los Angeles
theater was one that would have done
credit to New York or to London, which
is the city of oratorios. The orchestra
tion was perfect and the choruses had
been so thoroughly drilled that there
was not a single mistake perceptible.
The solos were finely rendered and al
though Mr. to whom had been
entrusted the lenor role of Uriel, is only
an amateur, he suffered but little by
com pari son with Signers Bianchi-Sobri
and Signer Hujio, the latter of whom
has n»ver heen heaid to greater advan
tage than in tne manly role of Adam.
Bnt Signora Bianchi-Sobii's rendition of
Eve wits indeed a revelation and her
puro bell-like Boprano voice literally re
velled in that exquisite duet, Spopee
Adored, by I'hy Bide. It will be a long
time, beforo the lovers of classical mnsic
will be permitted to listen to another
such intellectual treat.

EAST SIDE.
Kswi Hotel from Tbat Thriving See-
It was my good fortune yesterday to
escort a party of gentlemen over the
East Side, who are seriously contem
plating the erection of a fine hotel on
this side of the river. They represent
a wealthy eastern syndicate, who, if
tbey determine npon building here, will
canse the East Side to have a hotel com
mensurate with her needs, and one an
honor to any place. They mean busi
ness, and are intending to have a fine
tourist house some where. At the pres
ent writing I am not at liberty to give
their names to tbe public, tbey rot
wishing to be overrun by tbe active real
estate agent.
Since my last letter I have found a
number of complaints about tbe way
letters for East Siaers have been de
layed, even when marked "important."
It is to be hoped the postmaster will
five the matter his moat earnest consid
eration.
Mr. D. K. Trask has gone gunning
after Mr. Abbott Kinney in yesterday's
Times abom ths Bine-line service mat
ter. Several Eatt-Siders would like some
one to go a gunning about the Kuhrts
street line service. They do not want to
hurt anyone's feelings, neither their
property, but a few sharp mods might
make the muler to by tbe residences on
the line a trifle more frequently. We
have not any Mr. Kinneys in our midst,
but the receiver does live on this side.
Mr. Henry 11am, who broke his collar
bone some time ago, waa compelled to
have it reset on Monday last. At the
present tims he is resting easier.
Mr. A. D. Ransom formerly of Chica
tro but now a Southern Californian, was
looking over the east side yesterday with
the intention of starting a factory for a
number of novelties, the patents on
Which he controls. Mr. Rausou, if he
concludes to build on this side, will add
considerable business to East Los Ange

Danger of an Uprising; Against Chrls-

Washwgton, May 3.—The danger of
an uprising in Corea against the Chris
tian missionaries in that country is
passed. News tbat mobs of • natives in
Seoul threatened to exterminate the
whites, was received by the state de
partment some weeks ago by cable.
Protection from the TJnfted States
government was requested, and ac
cordingly the navy department sent
the United States steamer Alert from
Shanghai to Corea with orders to re
main until affairs assumed a peaceful
aspect. Admiral Harmony cabled tbe
department that he arrived at his desti
nation April 24th. Today another dis
patch wr.s received from him stating the
Alert has returned to Shanghai. While
nothing concerning the condition of
affairs is contained in the dispatch, it is
certain the Alert would not have left
Corea if any serious trouble existed.
REPUBLICAN PROF AO AND A.
A New Party Organ to Be Started In
Washington.
New York, May 3.—The Poat'g Wash
ington special says: Preparations are all
in order for starting a Republican week
ly newspaper in Washington just as soon
as the president calls an extra session of
congress. The idea is to keep a sharp
eye out for ad dissensions between the
Dejnocratic leadero and seize every pro
aiso to pick flaws in the Democratic
work on tbe tariff and silver legislation,
and send out colored versions of all that
goes on In congress and at the White
House. It is not definitely known who
is to be in charge, but the signs point
to Thomas H. McKee, the veteran com
piler of protectionist statistics and the
author of some of the most widely
spread campaign documents used by
the Republican committees in tbe past
canvasses.

A RUSE THAT FAILED.
Assemblyman Lynch and Bit Dance
'With a Homely Girl.
This is a tale which dropped from the
lips of a lobbyist at the Grand hotel last
evening, says the San Francisco Exam
iner:
"At the legislature of two yeara ago
Assemblyman Lynch of San Bernardino
upheld the integrity of the connty
against the assaults of the Riverside
divisioniets. As soon as he took his
seat, knowing that he had a hard fight
before him, he began casting about for
support.
"At that session the member from
Yolo was a weird old chap, who waded
»over out of the tnles with his pantaloons
so reefed that a wag said tbat he was
looking for tbe chairmanship of the com
mittee on swamp and overflowed lands.
He bad tbe gift of tongues after a fash
ion, snd Lynch picked him out aa a
member who waa worth winning.
"The old fellow had a daughter just
one remove more weird and unlovely
than himself.
'"I will reaoh him through hia daugh
ter,' said the far-seeing Lynch.
"The governor's ball filled the thoughts
of all the dancing statesmen at this
time. Lynch, tvho is blithe and debo
nair, sidled up to the Yolo mosaback
and said:
'"I should lfke your permission to es
cort your daughter to the Inaugural ball.'
"Tbe tule-puller was only too glad to
have his daughter off his hands so he
could play pedro at tbe hotel that even
ing, so he gave a beaming consent.
"Qn the night of the ball Lynch, at
tired as faultlessly as Ward McAllister,
called for his carriage and went for his
ladylove. She appeared in corkscrew
curta, freshly anointed, and a decollete
gown apparently made from a Yolo
window curtain. She had red shoes
and a gorgeous necklace of atage dia
monds.
"At the capitol the member from San
Bernardino and his partner were 'the
observed of all observers.' They 'filled
the public eye.' They 'created a social
sensation.' Lynch stood the guying
of the divisionists with a quiet, self
satisfied smile. He danced with his
partner until every bone ached. He fed
the waiters with a princely- largess
to make sure that ber plate and glass
were kept full of the best. He was
Prince Charming throughout the entire
evening, keeping his social gorge down
with splendid heroism.
'"And then, what do you think,' he
says, in telling his experiences, 'the old
man voted against me!' "
KIBBEY LEAVES HIS WIFE.
A Railroad Man Disappears from
M odssto.
Mr. C. E. Kibbey was until a year ago
the agent in this city for the Texas Pa
cific railway. The Examiner of Tues
day prints a dispatch from Modesto
under date of May Ist, which reads oh
follows 1 :
0. £. Kibbey, station agent for the'
Southern Pacific company at Modesto,
boarded the north-bonnd train this
morning for parts unknown. Shortly
after the departure of the train a sealed
letter left by him was.handed to Mrs.
Kibboy at the Ross house. He informed
the recipient that he had departed.
The causes which led to bis disappear
ance are his wife's alleged harsh and
cruel treatment and vicious treatment.
Since his departure it has been learned
that he instructed his attorney to draw
up a document for her signature agree
ing to a legal separation. It further
provides that he will contribute $40 per
month to the support of herself and
children, and give them transportation
he stated that Tie would absent himself
until such time as the docament was
signed. Mrs. Kibbey went into hyster
ica uoon receipt of the letter. She says
she will not sign the document.
Red Hair and Freckles.
Science explains the phenomenon of
red hair thus: "It is caused by a super
abundance of iron in the blood. This it
is that imparts the vigor, the elasticity,
the great vitality, the overflowing,
thoroughly healthy animal life which
runs riot through the veins of the rnddy
haired, and this strong, sentient an
imal life is what renders them
more intense in all their emo
tions than tiieir more languid fellow
creatures. The excess of iron is also
the cause of freckles en the peculiarly
clear, white Bkin which always accom
panies red hair. This Bkin is abnor
mally sensitive to the action of the sun's
rays, which not only bring out the little
brown spots in abundance, but also
burn like a mustard plaster, producing a
queer creepy sensation, rb if the skin
was wrinkling up."—[New York World.

Deals with
Nature.
In extracting fruit flavors, Dr.
Price deals directly with nature
and leaves the use of artificial ex-,

chemical knowledge to extract
from the true fruit, and who cara

The excellent quality of this CREAM is the result of expert
merits extending over several years. It is an unsweetened cream.
It is SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHER BRANDS in every
element that makes it desirable as a substitute for pure cream or
milk, being entirely free from the objectionable color and flavor
of other brands. As a food for infants it has no equal. It is a
perfect substitute for mothers' milk. A trial of a single can will
convince the most skeptical of its superiority. Ask for th©
COLUMBIAN BRAND. For sale by the best grocers.

THE AUCTIONEER SAYS
"The Last Call!"
So we say, THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE this season to secure*
5 or 10 acre tract at East Whittier in time to put it out in lemons, and
have them growing while you are at the World's Fair, and in another
year begin bearing, and the third bring you an income. One hundred
acres of lemons going in on the East Whittier tract this month. Se
cure your tract before it is too iate. We are still selling at |200 per
the improvements now being made will make it worth that. We de
cided not to raise the price this season, but next up she goes, sure;
and land in the froßtless foothill lemon belt is none too plenty now.
At present we can supply you with choice lots; next season we may
not be able to do so, so secure them now while you can. Finest land,
finest water, finest location! Cheapest price, best schools, churches.
New cannery and all that go to make up an ideal location. Again we
say, don't delay! For full information, folders, etc., call on
