The Passage of CeiestiaIs Across the Con-
GiBent.
WAsHINGroN, Jaousry 26th.-Ths Treas.
ury Department has sent Collectors of Gus
toms the regulations recently framed in &C.
cordance with the opinion of the Attorney
General TO regulate the passage Of Chinese
lsborsrs across the continent, en- route from
foreign countries to China. Senator Miller
says he has made special inquiry into the sub
iect. and he does not think any apprehension
need be felt that the Law regulating Chinese
immigration will be violated. Miller regards
the granting of permission to Chinese labor
ers to enter the country only for the purpose
of travelling homewsrd as contrary TO the let
ter Of the law, but he grants it may not be
opposed to the Stats Department. interpreta-
ton Of the spirit of the treaty. In a>con-
versation with your correspondent, Miller
said u do not think there are so many
Chinese in Cuba to-day as il commonly re-
ported. About 10000 Chinese lsborers
originally went there, but numbers of
them who emigrated under old contracts
have either returned TO their homes or
have come to the United States. The agi
tation for permission to allow them to enter
the country was begun by the railroad com
panies, which expected to make profitable
transportation contracts. So far as | can
learn, no contracts for sending these laborers
through the United States have been made.
I am Informed that the Chinese can be taken
in sailing vessels around Cape Horn to China
for $50 apiece 1t would cost in the neigh.
borhood of 500 apiece TO bring them from
Cuba to New York, send them TO San Fran
cisco, and take them thence to HongkoDg.
Possibly the rate might be little less via
New Orleans or Galveston, but not enough to
compete with tbs direct water route. The
railroads were led to believe that they could
get business by letters written to them by
agents in Cuba asking terms for transporta-
tion. If any attempt should be made to
evade the law detection will be certain. The
Treasury Department has informed me il any
considerable number of Chinese are landed
here, an inspector VIII be sent with them to
see that the law ia not violated. OF course.
upon the first detection, the question of the
validity of the Attorney. Generals opinion
will be raised and decided in the Courts"
