i Chinese revolt nanlnst the law re
quiring registration tbroatona serious ro-
ults on the coast. That vigorous resistance
* rlll bo made It certain , nnd o prolonged contest -
test In the courts Is about to begin. The
neact and front of the rebellion against the
law Is the ChlnosoSIx Compatriot , composed
Of n syndicate ot wealthy Chln'nmon In San
Francisco. The companies form a composite
emnoror of the Ohlnoso on the coast. A ma
jority of the latter are the slaves of the
former , nnd Its dictum Is oboyoa nt relig
< f iously at thati of the mopul of 1'okln. In
View of the power wloldad by this organiza
tion , its open proclamation of doflanco to
tinltcd States law and determination to ro-
1st it * enforcement , Justly excites alarm.
'J'ho proclamation , translated nnd published
by the Sun Francisco Call , It a romarltttblo
flocumont , addressed "To All Chlnoso in the
United StateV nna Is as follows :
Wo Klvoyou In this letter the Geary bill ,
a onlled , which Is about Chlnoso registering.
( t is nn unjust law nud no Chlnoso should
bboy It , , , .
The law degrades the Chlnesn nnd If
Obeyed \vlll put them lower than the meanest
Of pooplo.
Wo have got the Inw ns wo give u from
Mr. Qulnn. the man who is to enforce it In
Ban Francisco.
The low ns ho hat given It to us is as tne
Vrhito people made It.
H is a cruel low. It Is a b.td law.
Kead it and see how cruel the law Is to our
people.
See how moan and contemptible It wants
to malio the Chlnoso.
Wo do not want the Chinese to obey It.
We tin not hollevo the Chlnoso will obey It.
In miming this law the people of thoUmtod
Stntes have treated the sworn treaties mndo
Vrlth our rountry and our emperor with con
tempt.
They have disregarded our rights and paid
no attention to tholr promises , nnd made a
law to suit themselves , no matter how unjust
to us.
No Chi nose can road this law without n
( ocllntr of disgust.
] f nny of our people think they are wiser
thane nro and would obey Iho law , If any
would obuy It for the saUo of matting money ,
let thi'm ston. Do not do It. You will re
pent It If vou do.
Many white men sny this law is not rlcht ,
Bnd Ihoso who obey it are not wise , hut
Ignorant and foollnh.
I-ot us stand together.
Wo hope all will work with ua nnd then wo
Oan and will break this Infamous law.
.Let no whlto nian fool you nnd tell you tlio
low li different from wtiat u hero.
Aenln wo warn you not to obey this law. It
is not right , It Is not just.
Wo bavo given you the true law.

Irrigation In roar States.
A recent census bulletin gives a eompara
tlvo table of the cost of irrigation In the
tales ot Washington , Oregon , Idaho nni
Jilontann. In the first named state it tip
pears that the average first cost of construct
inp irrigating dltouos and bringlnc water t <
tbo land Is 51.03 to the acre , and the avoragi
oiling value of the water rights , if transferable
ferablo without the land , l.s $13.15 an ncro
Tlio avnrnga annual expenses of malntninlni
tbo ditches ii 75 cents an ncro , conslstini
" " merely of cleaning out the canals when
sediment may have been deposited and in re
pairing urcaUs.
The cost of preparing the ground for culti
vatlon , exclusive of bringing the water ti
the land , but Including such Items as cleat
Ing the land , where necessary , of trees nut
brush , and also of plowing and fencing , wn
$10.37 au acre. Adding to this the costo
brlneing water to the land , S1.03 an aero , am
the original cost of the laud nttto govern
Jiit'nt price of 31.25 per nero , the total cost c
cultivated land to the irrittator was 515.Mai
acre.
In comparison with this the estimated nvoi
niro value of the land upon which crops wor
raised by irrigation is placed nt $50 an acn
showing nn apparent prollt of S3i.-15 an ncn
" less cost of building. Deducting the avorap
annual expense of water. 75 cents an ncn
from the average annum value of the proi
nets , f 17.09 an acre , It appears that the nr

A Monitor Tunnel.
The tunnel on the Great Northern railroaa
under the summit of the Cascade mountains
will bo 13,000 fcot long Instead of 8,000 , nnd
will require three years to complete it Instead
of one. When completed It will be the
second longest tunnel in the United States ,
the first being the Hoosao.tunnel In Massa
chusetts , four and one-half miles long. The
final location of tbo tunnel is now being
made by A. M. Lupfor , resident engineer.
Great care and accuracy nro required In
establishing the alignment and ootalning
the correct measurements over the summit.
The tunnel will bo on a tangent , with
a curve at tbo east approach. No
work has been done toward starting tbo
tunnel nnd It is not llkoly that any will bo
done this year. The switchback over the
mountains has boon located and Is now under
construction. On tlio oust sldoitwlllbo
nearly finished by October 1 ; on the west
side it will take n little longer. The maxi
mum grade on the east side Is 3) per cent.
On the west sldo it is 4 per cent , tbo descent
being moro rapid and tbo obstacles greater.
At one point tbo line passes back and forth
six times on the same sldo hill. The differ
ence in oluvation between tbo summit und
the point where the switchback joins the
main line Is 1.000 feet. The maximum grade
on the mam lino" through the Cascades will
bo U.2 per cent , the same as on the Northern
Pacific.

An Indian named "Llmpy , " about 40
yeara old , was arraigned ID the superior
court of Fresno , Cal. , on the charge of kill
ing an Indian doctor on Augusts , tils da-
fcnso for killing the doctor Is that the
doctor was a witch. Llmpy is honest in
his conviction that witches should ba killed.
The paper mill at Lowell , Wash. , has
turned out the largest rolls of paper ever
manufacturad In thn world. Each roll
weighs ,1.000 pounds and if unrolled tbo
paper in each would make a strip thlrty-llvo
miles long. They were taken to Tncoma to
bo placed on exhibition and will bo sent to
the World's fair.
The Inquest has thrown no llcht on the
mysterious murder of Lawyer MoWhlrtor of
Fresno , Cal , , further than to provo that his
death was not suicide , as his enemies claim.
That tins crime was no ordinary ono Is
shown by the big reward of $ ' 25,000 offered
bv the dead man's relatives nnd friends.
Fresno has Bwnrmod with detectives ever
slnco the murder , but no clews have been
secured. The only hope of discovering the
porpetrntors is that the men hired to do the
bloody work may oetray themselves or their
principals when" liquor.
The killing of two moro oftlcors by the
fugitive train robbers in Fresno county has
oxcitca great indignation in the county as
well as throughout California. The scene of
the crime was Simpson's Flat , n notorious
rendezvous in early days for cattle thlovos
nnd other desporatoi characters. The men
who live in the Fresno mountains are not all
lawless , but they have curious notions of
property rights , and they nro so bitterly
hostile to the Southern Pacific company that
they will furnish no help to bunt down anyone
ono who robs the railroad or Wolls-Fargo
Express company. These twoiblooistained
desperadoes , Evans and Sontag , have oeen
shielded from capture bv minors nnd aheoo-
borders. and in return thov ambush and
murder two oQlcers qt n sheriff's posse that
was pursuing them. ( ( .The fugitives will now
bo shot on sight , as the railroad and express
companies will pay a reward of $10,000 for
tbo bodies dead or dlivo.

WASHINGTON , DI C. , Sept. 21. [ Special to
Tin : BISE. ] Tbo 6rdor which Postmaster
General Wanamakor has Just Issued doputlz
ing the postmasters In free delivery cities ,
towns and country > communities to uut uj
house letter boxes for collection , as well a
the dellteryj of mall , whenever two-thirds of
Iho hounohoidors on n given route dignify
tholr desire lo hrwo this now double servlco ,
nftoctlng nearly .T,000OuO residences. The
letter ooxes tested In St. Louis and Washing
ton were selected nftor two years of onamm-
atlon among some 1,000 mo Jots ; and In St.
Louis especially , where the practical test of
the collection and delivery box was tried un *
dor the most unfavorable conditions possible
In that or any other free deliver ? pi nee , have
the results boon especially gratifying to
Postmaster Harlow , nnd to the department.
The test shows that collections as wall ns
deliveries are possible without any loss of
time on the average , and that where clroum-
stance * nro favorable , ns on compactly set
tled routes , tlmo is actually saved which
may bo devoted , of course to putting on
extra deliveries at the proper tlmo. It Is a
roniarnaulothlnc ; to have discovered that this
now double service , that ot delivery without
delay to safe receptacles nt everybody's
door , und of collections without delay from
Rate places nnd unon all regular deliveries ,
at house * where iho lilllo disk Indicates
that mail Is to be collected , nro now possible ;
and all this Is without nuy appreciable
change of the currier force , and. hence with
. .ut expense HI tha department , except , ot
course , as ttmo enough Is Raved to permit
the putting on of moro deliveries and the
employment of moro carriers with the money
saved.
The department has not watched the
simple delivery to homo letter boxes with
much Interest , as it has ntwavs boon known
that persons could put Into their doors
simple slots for the reception of mail ; and ,
ns they never have done this , it has boon
assumed that it was n convenience not
gonornlly cared for , If It Involved any cost
nt all. A simple delivery box was tried In
St. Louts nnd a saving ot time on n whole
route was one hour nnd twonty-Hvo minutes
a day. Of course the chief season why iho
now double service will bo successful Is
that the householder has the ndvnntngo , as
never before , of dropping.mail nt his door.
It Is n question , ns formerly , whether per
sons would put In the simple delivery box ,
nnd it Is n question , even moro than form *
orly , because the simple dollvory box which
has boon tested and which It was proposed to
sell for 25 cnnts Is oxpooted now to cost $1.
Inasmuch ns the Inside delivery nnd collec
tion box is to cost only n dollar ( for the most
durable kind , of course , though , they can be
constructed and o rnamonted to cost sulm
much larger than that ) , these- boxes would
probably hnvo the call , and the reason , too ,
that the other collontlon and dollvory box
tested is to bo put upon tbo oulslilo of tbo
doors or doorposts , nnd in order to drop
Dij.ll into thorn one mint go out of doors ,
which means that tbo householder U really
not to have the advr.ntngo ot the chief
benefit of the system.
There nro important Incidental aavnntncos
in the houso-tonouso collection system. The
cblof ono Is , perhaps , that the safety of the
mull would bo much creator. The cbanca
of securing booty enough to pay for the risk
would bo to small for a mall robber , with
practically all the mall dropped at tbo bouso
doors , and the chance of detection would bo
practically suro. Street letter boxes would ,
of course , bo patronized Just the snmo , but
In a degree ono hundred times smaller , por-
hups , and the same reasons would prevail
why It would not he safe for robbers to
broalc thorn opan. Another incidental ad
vantage is that the revenues of the dopartr
mont would bo , in the iigpropate , very much
increased , ns the test in St. Lenis undoubt
edly shows ; nnd thorn would bo no letters
kept In coat , pockets for weeks nay
longer. A third advantage is that Iho
householder would bo able throned the
medium of the carrier directly to purchase
stamps.
The postmaster eonnral proposes to sup-
his first order to the postmasters
Clement
i free delivery places with moro detailed
directions for placing boxes , ns soon as the
boxes are ready to bo placed , nnd that will
bo very soon. An Important adjunct to the
success of the maltor will bo the onthuslam
of postmasters to make this great departure
In the free delivery service a success , and
also the efforts of the carriers , whoso work
will bo so much facilitated.
Tbo departure is also of the creates
significance to country districts. It Is wel
known that the country free delivery oxper
imcnt tried iu forty -slx communities fo/th
past year has been a complete success , an
that ills now continued for another year.
Tbo Postal Improvement company , the
owners of the St. Louis or insldo collection
and delivery box , have already proposed to
equip ono or moro of those country free delivery -
livery routes , free of cost to the department
and to the people served , BO that it mlcht
appear , from actual oxperlonco , just what
the increase of revenue and the Increase of
circulation of newspapers would bo.
May Be Old ,
but they don't show it
the clothes that are
washed with Pearline.
They .last just about
twice as long with
out showing signs of
wear. Why shouldn't
they ? They're spared the weekly rub , rub , rub over the
washboard. That's what wears out clothes. That's what
wears out women , too.
But , because Pearline makes easy work , don't think that
it must do harm. It's just as harmless as good soap and it
costs no more than the poorest.
