CHINESE IN NEW YORK.
Prsparing - Receive the San Fransisss
ExoAastsrs.


York Chinaman who has not friend o
relatives in California, and the action
the Frisco roughs, backed up bv tn
Mayor and Board Of Health, is looke'
upon as a serious bar to the progress
the Chinese in the West. The announce
ment that several hundred Of the latte
are on their way to New York hai
caused general satisfaction among thu
boarding-house keepers, who expect Z
reap a rich harvest. Extensive prepara
tions are being made TO welcome ths
refugees. Additional rooms have beer
engaged in anticipation OF general IN
fiux Of Celestials, and the prospect seems
bright for all who are disposed to quit
San Francisco and make their home IN
the metropolis. Yesterday Chinaman
and his wife arrived from the former
place and were driven from the railway
depot to the house Of Woo kee, No, "a
Mott street. Thery are the vanguard OF
the immense army OF almond eyed ex'
| lies who are about to pour into this city
| if the situation in the West continues TO
be serious. The Chinese lady was well
dressed and good looking. Her husband
feared that a general massacre was
about TO take place in San Francisco.
After relating the details Of the present
movement in San Francisco, the lady
requested TO be taken to Chm Lung Ping,
the Chinese Minister, who b at present
ir Washington. On being informed OF
his whereabouts she paid visit TO some
friends of the Minister who live in the
upper portion of the city. About three
weeks ago a Chinaman named Ah Hee
arrived there from China with his wife
and two children So o-ainocs we're the

rate of about twenty a day, and some
write back such favorable reports tina,
others are ready to follow. The batch
that passed through St. Lauis on Satur-
day are expected to arrive here to-day.
One-thiId will go to Philadelphia to set

In order to facilitate their reception
and installation in the Quaker City q
Chinese interpreter left Mott street for
Philadelphia yesterday. Those who
come to this city Will probably be taken
to No. "a Mott street, where consultation
will be held as to the best means of Sc
curing comfortable quarters and employ
ment for them. 1t is said that the Chi
nese lodge Of Free Masons, which or
ganiLed a few days ago, was started in
view Of the impending exodus from Cal
ifornia. The more intelligent Chinese
realize that there Is need Of fraternity
In order to resist any attempts TO modest
them. The only other organization
which exists is the Pslong Congsee, q
benevolent club, which is joined by
every new arrival. BY their united ef.
forts the Celestials have secured the
lease of nearly every store in the lower
end of Mott street. They asked the
Rutgers Fire Company to lease them a
dwelling house at No. 3, but the company
responded by saying that they would
sooner pull down the building than al
low a single Chinaman to live in it. Tom
Lee offered large advance on the pres
ent rent of the place, but was fatty re-
fused on the ground that the Chinese
are a nuisance. A determined effort is
being made by property owners in the
upper end of Mott street to prevent the
colony from spreading, and TO all offers
of high rents they give a stolid denial
They feel that if the Chinese get sufii'
cient headway they will take possession
of that quarter of the city. The tactics
employed by the Chinese to get posses
sion OF house next door is to disgust
the tenants, who leave, and then they
offer 10 pay a good sum in rent.

Talk about being disaereeable; why, il
