NEW YORK, December S.-George OPP
dyke & Co., bankers and brokers, have
suspended. This is one of the best-known
firms in this city. The assignment was
made late this afternoon TO William Peet.
Opdyxe said the necessity Of suspension
was surprise TO them, lie estimated that
the assets would yield ultimately probably
fully as much as the liabilities. The failure
was caused by customers not paying up
ma, gins. The firm has not been prominent
since the death OF George Opdykc, Sr., and
the failure OF the New York and Oswego
Midland railroad, in which they were in-
teresied. The firm were also heavy lose,s
in the panic OF 1873.

NEW YORK, December s.-Ata MEETING
OF the Board Of Directors Of the American
Baptist Home Missionary Society to-day
the treasury report showed such a shortage
of funds that the appointments which were
made were for terms OF only six months in
stead Of year, as usual, in the apprehen-
sion that there might not be money enough
to pay salaries and expenses for the full
year. The Society's embarrassment is
largely due to Its having recently taken
complete charge Of the missionary work
among the Chinese on the Pacific coast aud
10 large sums expended in the church
edfce and educational departments.

nese laborer and subject OF the emperor OF
China. He was In the United states on
the 18th OF November, 1889, the ditc
OF The adoption OF the last treaty between
China and the United States. and he
remained therein until june, 1881. when
he went TO Honolulu, returning tnerefrom
TO San Francisco In September last. As the
restriction act OF 1892 bad not become a law
when be left the United States he did not, OF
course, provide himself with the certificate
which is prescribed as PREF requisite TO re-
entrance. and upon bis return TO San Fran
cisco In September, 1854, the c,istom-house
authorities refused 10 allow him TO land.
on the ground that TO penn him to do so
would be 10 violate the restriction acts. lie
thereupon sued out writ OF hdbeos corpus.
and brought the case beforcthe United States
Circuit Court. where 1t was heard by jus
tice Field and Judge Sawyer. The judges
were divided in their opinion, Justice
Field holding that Iaborer could not re-
enter the United States without the certi6-
cate prescribed by section 4 Of the amend
ed restriction acts. Judge Sawyer, on the
contrary. held that Chinese laborcr who
was In the United States on the 18th OF No
yember. 1880. ard departed there;rom prior
TO the passage OF the restriction acts. could
return without any certificate. The
judges thereupon certified the diyi-
sion Of opinion. Judgment was entered
in accordance with the decision OF Justice
Field, and the case was brought here by
writ OF error. This court holds that the
Chinese restriction act Of MAY G, 1882. as
amended, requiring collectors certificate
as the only evidence OF the right Of q Chinese
laborcr TO reenter the United States Is not
applicable 10 Chinese Iaborer who resided
in this country at the date OF the treaty Of
1880, but who left this country before the
act Of May @, 1882, was passed. and did not
seek TO reenter in until after the
act OF July 8, 1884. was passed.
The right Of such laborer 10 re-
enter was secured by the treaty OF 1850,
and the court holds that Congress did not
intend TO violate that right. Chinese labor
ers who were here at the date OF the treaty
can be admitted, the court holds, upon
such evidence as will be competent under
the general principles OF law. Opinion by
Justice Harlan, Justice Field dissenting.
