WASHINGTON, June 9.--rhe Treasury
Department IL informed that in some
instances certificates, M provided by
section of the Act of May 9Th, have
been granted Chiaese laborers at points
other than of exit of laborers from the

Gates may sometimes be granted--one

exit--and one at least OF these has been
fraudulent and used to obtain admis-
Sou in the United States of Chi
nese laborers not entitled to the priyi-
lege. Customs officers, therefore, have
been instructed to confine the issue OF
such documents to Chinese iaborers who
depart directly for foreign ports, and to
restrain from issuing the same TO la
barers who intend going to China, or
any other foreign land, by some other
phrt of the United States, or to China
men who are not laborers.
