rived at the cemetery the Superintendent re-
fused to allow all the bodies TO be taken IN
side until the permit was produced. The
Celestials in vain protested against che or
der excluding the last wagon, containing four
bodies, and by dint of argument were finally
allowed to convey the three prescribed corpses
within the limits OF the cemetery, the fourth
being excluded. A long argument followed,
without changing the determination of the
officials. Words finally led to blows. The
Superintendent was surrounded by yelling
heatheus, who crowded him to the wall. He
finally sent for the gravediggers, who put in
an appearance, armed with shovels. The
Celestials picked up stones, dirt and pieces Of
wood, and savagely commenced an attack on
the officials, who in turn charged the enemy
with force consisting Of grave-dggers,
hack. drivers and drivers of hearses. The
Cinnamon then began sounding one another
with their fists, but by clever movement
they were finally forced outside the gate,
which was barred. At last one Chinsman
cried out that he had found the missing per-
nit, the gates were unbsrred aud the excited
Celestials were readmitted. The burial then
proceeded without further disturbance. The
affair at one time locked very serious, and
had not the permit been discovered bloody
riot would certsinly have resulted, as the
Chinamen seemed determined to fight for
their claimed rights.
