CHINAMEN TO COME EAST.
 A Plan To Scatter Them In Colonies
 Through The Centers of Industry At
 8 Dollar a Day..
 PITTsBURG, Oct. 6.-There arrived in this city to-day a particularly respectable and well dressed Chinaman giving the name of Lee Wah, who addressed citizen in excel lent English, making inquiries for a laun- dryman of his own nationality. His busi- ness manner and appearan ce caused the gen tleman through curiosity to engage him in conversation, during which Lee Wah took from his pocket paper, reading from it the following na mes, inquiring from it their To- cality, viz; American Iron Works, Black Diamond Steel Works, Carnegie Brothers 6 Co.,, and also the names of several other prominent manufacturing firms of the city, particularly enouiring for Booth 6 Flynn, contractors. To the question as to whether he intended to locate here he piled: 'tNo, but some of my people may. am en route to Washington from San Francisco. Ihave been in the country il years and have been engaged in real es- tate business in Frisco and accumulated considerable property. After the massacre of my people in Wyoming largely attended and secret meeting of Chinamen was held in San Francisco at which resolutions were passed, the object being to better the condi- tion of Chinamen in this country. It was decided to scatter more widely over the United States, freeing ourselves from con tinued prosecutions and cruel treatment such as is experience west of the Rockies. A resolution was unanimously adopted by which six English-speaking members were authorized to proceed east, visit manufac- turing cities and ascertain what could be done toward securing employment for limited number. Each member of this district on reaching Chicago was assigned to different districts. I am known as No. 3. My district is Cincinnati, Youngstown, Alliance, Wheeling, Pittsburg, Connellsville, the coke regions and thence to Washington where I am to report to the Chi nese embassy the result of my labors. Other members of the committee visit Boston, New York, Philadelphia and other cities. Each member is authorized to negotiate for pur- chase or rental of a certain quarter in each city to be colonized by my countrymen. Each agent is empowered to enter into tracts with mill owners and general contrac tors. My visit to Pittsburg is for that pur- pose. I have been fairly successful in Gin cinnati and Wheeling, but accomplished but little in Youngstown. I intend to use every effort in this city and have reason to believe 1 can establish colony of at least five hundred here. Understand me do not mean to say that these men are to work at reduced wages to the injury of other work ingmen. I consider one dollar per day ex- cellent wages and am led to believe that manufacturers think the same and for that reason can negotiate with the latter to em- pley my people," Lee Wah said that he had finally determined to visit the Connellsville coke fields first ard he has left for that local ity tonight with the intention to return to this city later in the week.
