THE CHINESE IN NEW YORk.

However a reputable citizen the cheerful
Monaghan may lc Oh the Pacific coast, he Is
proving himself by no means desirable
member of society at the East. Our telegraph
ic despa,c hcs have reported that nearly ali
the opium shops in New York have been al
least temporarily closed, IN consequence of
the war that is being waged upon them. THIS
war" was inaugurated by the clergy of the
Roman Catholic church of the Tfans6gura-
ton whose edlfcc is located in the very heart
of the Chinese colony. Rev. Father Barry,
one of the priests of the church, says that it
is within his knowledge that in the neighbor-
hood of hundred little girls have been ruin
ed in the Mott street opium dcns within n
year. Some of these girls are mere chill
dren, and they are nearly all of rcspec-
table parents, who seem to know moth
ing of what is going on. Father
Barry also says: 81 know many Of III
women who persuade young girls into thc'l
dens. The girls are induced to visit the
opium shops, partly through curiosity anu
partly through promises of large amouns oI
money which they are told can easily be
made. Once in the deus they are coaxcd into
trying pipe or two of opium. A few repe.
titions of this are sufficient to make the girls
victims to the opium habit, and then theiI
self respect, moral courage and will disap
pear. They then become regular habitues oil
the houses and ruin is the natural result
Pale, haggard and trembling after their de
bauchery, they hurry around the corners anc
into the alleys, afraid 10 face any one they
know. The Cinnamon have become aggres
sive in their iniquity and sometimes they &C
cost girls while am talking to them. Why
next door to the associations rooms the most
horrible practices are carried on, and the PEG
pie who live on the opposite side OF the stree
are compelled 10 witness scenes from thei
windows which are disgrace to our civiza
ton. A few days ago our association rescued
young girl from one Of the Chinese dcns
but we had hard work to do it,"
The investigations of the reporters proved
tina, Father Barry's statements fell short o
the dreadful truth, rather than exceeded it
An appeal for aid 10 the suppression of lh'
dens of infamy was made to the Police Com
missioners, the Society for the Repression o
Crime and the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children and a
result vigorous warfare has beer
inauguratcd. 1t may be added that The
| testimony as to the general character of TIL
Chinese in New York is very unfavorablc
They are quarrclsome, vindictive aud dan
gerous they carry knives and revolvers
which they do not hesitate to use upon tn
slightest provocation in short, to the wors
vices of our own civilization they add tn
most degrading bestiality of the East. \

WRECKED nY a SEA MONSTER.
The strange Experience OF the BarQ
luln In MId.OCean.

Captain Cornclicssen, late master of the
Norwegian barque lnga, in company with
his wife and twelve men, arrived at New
York. Sunday, on the steamship Leerdam,
which had rescued the party from their sink.
ing vessel. The captain told the following
story to Herald reporter: The Inga lei,
Greenock on the 10Th of April for Quebec.
Before daylight on the morning of April 3Oth,
when in mid-ocean, all on board were sud.
denly startled by violent shock, followed
almost Immediately by the crash of breaking
timhers. Those on deck saw a huge mass
loom up over the bows. The captain was on
deck almost Immediately after the shock and
ordered the vessel TO be laid to that he might
ascertain the amount of damage done. lie
found it to be most serious The cutwater
had been carried away and bad hole had
been stove in the barque's PROV. A canvas
wa. stretched across The hole, but the pumps
indicated that the vessel was making wa
ter through her seams. When day
ligAt appeared the captain found
the water stained with blood for n
mile from the scene Of the collision. This
fact dissolved any doubts which might have
troubled him as TO the character of the object
bio Nto'Si iiah ~ was
ice nor floating wreck, but come kind of
marine monster. Whatever it was the OBJ
ject had disappeared, leaving no trace behind
but the blood upon the water.
During the week following the collision
the bark's crew abored hard to save them
selves and their vessel. On the 9Th aud 9th
of May violent gale was blowing from the
northwest and southwest and high cross
seas placed the crippled vessels In a pelilous
position. On the morning OF the 9th the
Leerdam was sighted. The bark hoisted a
signal OF distress, ip response to which Cap
Tain SlIerenircgt. OF the Lecrdsm, ordered
the steamer to run down 10 the disabled bark
lie sgualled her captain to come on board,
but the Inga was pitching so violently that
it was impossible TO lower her boats. At
length Captain Slierendrcgt ordered one Of
his own boats to he lowered, with instruc
tons to the men to save the crew of the bark
at all hazards The men performed this task
with great difficulty, Mrs. Cornclicsscn was
lowered to the lifeboat with ropes and raised
to the steamer by the same means. Several
of the crew fell INTO the water while trying
to get into the small boat, but were picked
mp, and oil OF them were finally put on board
of the steamer"
