WASHINGTON, May 25.-The Secretary of
the Treasury has published a circular in
relation to the enforcement Of the Chinese
law, to be delivered to customs officers.
The form of the certificate to be given the
Chinese has been prepared by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and been sent to the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, to be
engraved in a manner that will prevent
counterfeiting. The circular directs the
attention of Collectors Of Customs to the
Act of May 6, which is inclosed, to pre-
vent any cause of complaint as regards the
administration Of the law. Says the Cir
cular: Collectors and all other officers
will take pains to carefully carry out the
provisions Of the Act, so far as it devolves
duties upon them. The certificate must
conform in all particulars to the list en-
tered in the registry books, and kept in
accordance with the requirements of said
Act. The names entered in the registry
books should be numbered c~onsecutively,
and the certificate so numbered as to cor
respond with the form of the certificate.
The certificate reads as follows: This GER
~tifcate is furnished to the following Chi
nese laborer, departing from the United
States, for production to a custom officer
on his return. To knowingly and falsely
alter this certificate, or to substitute any
name for that written in the certificate, or
to falsely personate any person named
| herein, is to be guilty of a misdemeanor,

Imprisonment. Here follows the descrip-
ton; name, age, occupation, last place OF
residence, hight, complexion, color OF the
eyes, physical marks, or peculiarities, and
facts of Identification. The Chinese laborer
to whom this certificate is issued is en-
titled, in accordance with sections three,
four and five OF the Act Of Congress APP
proved May 6, 1882, to return to and to
re-enter the United States, upon produc-
ing and delivering the same at the time Of
re-entry aforesaid to the Collector of Gus
toms of the district at which he shall seek
to re-enter. Witness my hand and official

Representative Page said this afternoon
that he should see the Secretary of the
Treasury and request him to call the par
ticular attention Of customs officials to the
fact that whenever the word laborer &C.
ours in the Act it means skilled, as well as
unskilled laborers.
Standing in for the Chinese.
New YORK, May 25.-At to-day's ses-
sion of the Chinese Missionary Society,
the Committee on Chinese Missions pre-
sented their report, which caused a gen.
eral debate on the Chinese question. The
committee believe that. the passage by
Congress of the bill prohibiting Chinese
immigration was not demanded by any
actual peril to our institutions or our in
dustries. The number of Chinese immi-
grants in this country is insignificant in
comparison with other immigrant popula-
ton, and in the nature of things must re-
main insignificant. The Chinese are not a
migratory people, and if they leave their
native land it is with the expectation of a
speedy return. The report concludes by
advising the society to help Christianize
the Chinese now in this country, so that
when they return to their native land they
may carry with them to their benighted
countrymen the great blessing of a belief
in the BaDtist creed
