In connection with this subje l call the
attention OF Congress to generally conceded
tact, that the great proportion Of Chinese
immigrants who come to our shores, do not
come, voluntarily to make their homes with
US, and their labor productive of general
prosperity, but come under contract with
head men who own them almost absolutely.
Ina worse form does it apply to Chinese wo-
men. Hardly a perceptible per cent of them
perform any honorable labor; they are
brought for shameful purposes to the dis
grace to the communities where settled and

Loss OF THE DIANA.-From the engi-
neer of the steamer Diana, who arrived
here this (Monday) morning, we learn
the particulars of tie wreck of that ves-
sci. When near Gray's Harbor she en-
countered very heavy weather, and the
seas breaking over her soon demolished
her pilot house. After this accident the
crew we're unable to keep the water out
of her, and in short time her fires were
put out. They then beached her and
all the crew reached the land IN safety,
but the force of the waves soon broke
mp the wreck. 1t is thought that the
machinery can be saved.
This craft was lately bought in San
Francisco for the mail line between Port
Townsend and the Islands. Captain
Britain, her owner, we understand is
yet in San Francisco.
