WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-ActlnS Secretary
Of the Treasury French has decided not to
act upon the question whether a certificate
is required of Chinese travelling from one
point to another on a through ticket, and
who may stop over in Canada en- route,
but will leave all such questions to the
discretion Of the custom officers to act
according to law.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Ga special agent
Of the Treasury has made inquiry OF the
Department whether a Chinaman travelling
from one point to another in this country,
and passing through a foreign country on
a through ticket, is entitled to enter the
territory Of the United States without pro-
ducing the certificate required by law OF
Chinese seeking to land from q vessel at
one of our ports. No actual case of the
kind has been presented, and Acting Sec
Rotary French declines TO decide the ques-
ton until T. case actually arises. Section
II OF the Act relating to Chinese provides
that no Chinese person shall be permitted
to enter the United States by land without
producing to a proper officer Of customs 3
certificate. The Act further provides that a
certificate Of Identification, such as is given
to Chinese laborers residing in the United
States at the time of the passage Of the
Act, and who desire to return, or a certit-
cate by the Chinese Government that he ls
not a laborer, and therefore entitled to
enter the United States, must be produced,
1t is not easy to determine what, il any,
duties are imposed upon the Treasury De-
partnent with regard to Cinnamon coming

paftment TO decide such questions actually
arising in the course of its business.
