Schemes Resorted to by Cinnamon to Get
Into America.

SAN FRANcIsoo, Oct. 24-Addltional in
stances of frauds perpetrated by the Chinese
government officials to evade the restriction
act has been brought to light to-day. The
steamer Rio Janeiro, which arrived on the
18th, brought seventy-seven Chinese holding
traders certificates" issued them by the
Chinese government which, under the treaty,
entitled them to land in the United States.
In the majority of cases it was evident the
holders of these certificates were nothing but
common iaborers, but the custom inspectors
said they were bound to recognize the Chi
nese government certificates, so, with the
excep ton of five, all came ashore.
The City of Toxic, which arrived yester-
day, brings Ill more Cinnamon all holding
TRADERS certificates" They were questioned
as to their occupation, before being landed,
but so long as they stuck to the assertion
they are traders the authorities had no alter
native but to let them land. BY their an
swer it is apparent that most of them have
been coached as to what they must reply.
To-day they let slip something which con-
demns them. Among to-day's arrivals are
boys eight years of age, holding students
certificates" They could not remember the
names of the college that they proposed at
tending. More women claimed by resident
Chinese as their wives are also among the ar
rivals.

BRIEF SPEECHES.

In response to calls, General Rosecrans
made Jew remarks favoring reunions, say
ing that unless the soldiers stuck together
the wise provision of the statutes giving pre-
ference to soldiers in the public service was
in danger OF being forgotten. He regarded
also, the encouragement of devotion to the
country as ample reason for keeping alive
interest in the great deeds accomplished by
the volunteer army during the war.
General John A. Logan was also
called out. He said he was not a mem
ber of the Army of the Cumberland
but felt like he was part of
it, owing to the close relationship of the
Army of the Tennessee and the mberland
in many trying times He commended the
plan of the society permitting all soldiers to
become members, and closed with warm
enlogy of General Steedman.
General Hazen also made a few remarks,
while Generals Noyes and Pope merely bowed
