FOR WHAT 1T is WORTH.
Chinese labor 10 E5o Imported into
Mexico, S'T'I,ey Say.'

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct 3l-A curious
story is told here iii connection with the Mex
lean treaty. 1t is alleged that somo of the
most prominent promoters of the treaty are
using it as plan to utilize Chinese labor and
to nullify the anti-ChinGse laws. A number
of spectators have purchased large tracts of
land in the provinces adjacent to the Rio
Grande. These lands are adapted to the
cultivation of anything that can be grown in
the United States except wheat, including
corn, cotton, tobacco and sugar. Indian
labor is very cheap there, costing not over
50 to so cents per day, but, desiring to have
still cheaper labor, the Mexican gov
ernment has made a private conces-
sion to a steamboat company to run
from Guyamas to ports in China,
one of the conditions of the contract
being that 800 Cinnamon shall be
landed at Guyamas on each semi-monthly
trip. These laborers are intended for lands
purchased by this speculative syndicate who
intend to raise sugar and cotton to compete
with products Of American soil and labor,
and, under the provisions Of the Mexican
treaty, to bring them into the United States
duty free A private, confidential circular
is said to have been sent out to many infiu-
entail persons to secure their support for
this new steamship line upon this basis.
