The Chinese Passive.
The Chinese at The Dalles have re
fused to register, without exception.
Wednesday a red button magnate was in
the city, who communicated to them
something of the reasons why they
should not do so and the wishes of the
Chinese government in the matter.
That they are fully and generally in
formed is not a matter of doubt. Presi
dent Cleveland has given it out that he
believes the law unconstitutional. It
will be as well, perhaps, that the Geary
act sink into oblivion, the sooner the
better. Until the time under which the
treaty now in force expires or a mutual
agreement is made between the two
nations, prohibition against the Chinese
cannot be legally enforced.
Fiske Wins.
The board of examiners for the West
Point cadetship composed of Hon. W.

Shelley, school superintendent, and H.
S. Wilson, attorney, finished their labors
at 10 o'clock this morning, resulting in
the selection of Harold B. Fiske, a son
of the late Dr. Fiske, who was a member

is 21 years of agS: He was one of the
applicants for the cadetship three years
ago at Salem, and scored second in that
contest. His alternate is E. Neele
Johnston who is a son of Col. W. H
Johnston, formerly a pay-master in the
U. S. army. Both young men are fine
scholars and very bright young men.

Poisoned Dough.
A rumor reached this office last week
that an attempt had been made to poison
Wm. Gibson, who lives in the Gorman
utte neighborhood, on the John Day
iver. Mr. (jibson Jives alone and does
is own cooking, and before going out
ror the day he prepared some dough so
as to have it ready for baking in the
evening on his return. The same even
ing when he came home he commenced
preparations for supper, but not liking
the appearance of the dough, he threw
it outdoors, and prepared some fresh
dough. Shortly afterwards a dog which
ate some of the dough that had been
thrown out died from the effects of it,
and several mice and rats also died after
partaking of the dough. It is therefore
surmised that there must have been
poison in the dough, but how it came
there unless by criminal means, has not
yet been made clear. This is a very
serious matter and it is to be hoped that
more light will be thrown upon it.-r-Moro

The Pish Exhibit..
The closed salmon season has some
what delayed the work of preparing the
fish exhibit to be made by this state at
the world's fair, but three carloads will
go forward within a few days. Presi
dent George T. Myers, of the Oregon
world's fair commission, is hard at work
on this exhibit, with the assistance of
Captain S. S. Douglas, the taxidermist,
who is preparing the exhibit of aquatic
animals. The collection includes a
monster fur-bearing seal, weighing 1,500
pounds, which was caught at Tilla
mook. There is also a live crocodile
and a hair seal. The preserved salmon
are the largest that could be secured in
the United States, being as long as three
feet and nine inches in diameter. There
will be about 50 or 60 salmon in all.

Pleasures of Life In India.
A band of poisoners is believed to be
t work on the railways in the ?.orth-
est Provinces, says a Bombay paper.
There have been during' the past few
months a large number of deaths in
carriages among- the native third-class
passengers traveling on the East Indian
railway. The bodies are handed over
by the railway authorities to the police;
who dispose of them as expeditiously as
possible. In most cases there is little or
no property found on the bodies, not
even railway tickets, and generally
they are found in an empty carriage
These facts do not appear to have
av
or
n
Vt-
awakened the suspicions of the police,
or perhaps they have recognized their
competence to prevent or detect such
rimes. As, however, the native passen
bers contribute over ninety per cent, of
fcoaching receipts, it is high time some
efforts were made to afford them pro
tection for their life and property.

The Chinese Advised.
A Telegram reporter in an interview
with Col. Weidler, collector of internal
revenue, asked :
"What is the circular of the Six Com
panies?" "It is a circular ordering them to
ignore the law entirely. A translation
of it is as follows :
From the Six Companies to our Chi
nese Brethren in Astoria : You are for
bidden to register with the white offi
cials, or to have anything to do with
them. Our imperial government is
watching this matter and protecting our
people. We have engaged Mr. Riordan,
the San Francisco lawyer, and another
in San Francisco.one in Washington, the
United States capital, and one in New
York. May 5th four prominent Chi
nese brothers in New York are to be ar
rested by the government for not regis
tering, and their case will be tried
by one of the high courts in the country
May 12th. Our minister has asked the
president of the United States not to
arrest any other Chinamen in this coun
try because they do not register until
this case is tried. The American presi
dent has graciously said: "Let this be
so." You will, therefore, not register
under the heaviest penalties if you dis
obey.

AXES UNDER THEIR COATS.
San Francisco Police Carry Them to
Smash the Doors of Pan-Tan Dens.
The policemen's sledge hammers and
axes have recently been busy in China
town among the fan-tan gambling
houses, and the Chinese gamblers are in
a state of demoralization, says the San
Francisco Examiner. Nothing remains
of twenty gambling dens but a vast
wreck of doors and furniture. Inside
the Mongolians sit most of the time in
gloomy silence, contemplating the
wreckage about them and occasionally
heaping all imaginable anathemas upon
the head of Chief Crowley and his men.
This onslaught of the officers has
caused consternation throughout the
Chinese quarters and what may come of
it is considered a grave question. The
Chinese hint darkly at revenge, but on
whom or how it can be wreaked is
not mentioned. Sergt. Gillin and his
squad have made kindling wood of
gambling tables and apparatus and
have chopped down dozens of massive
iron-bolted oak and Australian iron
wood doors. At present they carry
axes under their coats, always ready
fof an emergency in case they should
find fan-tan doors closed against them.
But there is not a game in operation,
according to reports. A tour of inspec
tion through the gambling alleys and
houses of Chinatown will yield sur
prises, and the strange sights and cun
ning devices met at every turn are interesting-.
Side doors and trap doors,
passages and halls interminable make
the strongest impression, but the po
liceman's work of destruction is too
striking a reality to be missed. The
doors, although constructed of double
planking studded with bolts, have been
hevvn in parts or torn from their fasten
ings by crowbars. All that remains of
the interior furnishings are piles of
broken lumber on the floor. Before
(raining an entrance into many places
the police had to cut through three of
these barricades. There was never be
fore such a condition of affairs in the
Chinese quarters are now. The Chinese
who conduct these games live and sleep
in back rooms that open on passages
leading to the gambling -rooms. As the
policemen will cut down any door
locked against them in the approaches,
all gambling places must be left open
at night as well as by day, and the re
sult is clocks and other portable arti
cles have been stolen. The Chinese,
however, are- now keeping watchmen
on the doors all night long, not as look
outs, but to protect the property.

It is a well-deserved victory for them.
The way they throw their entire stock
