California the attidavits of Il. Otis Glib
son, f. l.. Simmons and Ira NJ. Con-
duit, nov engaged in Missionary work
among the Chinese in San Francisco,
positively certifying to their personal
knowiedy e of a system OF importation
of and traffic in Chinese women, for
the purposes of prostitution, in China
and California. Gibson furnishes an
original bill OF sale in one ri these
transactions, in the Chinese language,
and gives the English translation,
in which this lave traffic is conducted.
These affidavilS were furnished by
Estee, late Speaker Of the California
Assembly, to lie brought to the atten-
ton of Congress by Mr.. Page. with a
view t securing Federal legislation to
prevent further importation or tranSac,
tons in this trade, 1t having been held
by the courts i'll California that the
State law for the purpose is unconsti-
t%utional.
President Grant, in a recent CONVEX
sation on the subject, expressed the
opinion that such importations are in
violation of the treaty with China, but
he did not say he believed the treaty
directly violated thereby; o did he
give any assurance, as has been incor-
rectly stated, that he would call atten-
ton TO the subject in his forthcoming
message.
