Difficulties in Interpreting the New Chi
nese Law.
WASHINGTON, August 18Th. = Judge
French, acting Secretary of the Treasury,
finds that the new law prohibiting Chinese
arriving in this country furnishes him great
deal OF work in the way of making decisions
interpreting the intention of Congress in con-
necti9n with the law. He is continually in
receipt of inquiries from Collectors of various
ports asking for instructions. The most in
teresting case of this kind came from Port
Townsend, w. T., to-day. The Collector
there asks what he shall do in the case where
some Cinnamon who had enlisted in an
American port as sailors, and who, having
served out their term of enlistment, want to
land where they enlisted. Under the pro-
visions of the new law the Collector says it
is clear that they shall not be allowed TO land,
but conflict arises in this case as between
the new and former law in regard to sailors
under shipping agreement with the China.
men. The Captain of the vessel bound him
self to land the Cinnamon in an American
port. II he failed to do so he is subject to q
fine under the maritime law; if he does land
the Cinnamon he will subject himself to q
heavy fine under the new law regarding the
Chinese. The Collector asks what shall be
done in the matter Judge French says these
cases are the most complex that have come
to him. aud difficulties are ariFing at every
port. He intends referring the matter to the
next session of Congress-. In the meantime
he is not exactly certain what shall be done
with the Cinnamon in this case.
