Hor the Heat,.en Gets In.

During the past eight months Of this
year 5000 Chinese arrived at this port
and 1884 more touched here " in tran
sit" In transit" means that they are
on their way to British Columbia tc
sneak back across the. border or on
coasting vessels, and become perma
nent residents of the United States.
During the past eight months, there
fore, some 10000 Chinese have found
their way into the United States. This
is thousand more than came to Am
erica in the three preceding years.
The cause of this influx is the we'll
known fact that not one Chinaman in
a hundred who arrives here without a
certificate will be sent back to China.
The barriers against Monaghan immi-
grafton have been practically removed
for the following reasons.
Chinese laborers may land without
certificates on the plea of former resi-
cence, such plea being proved by Chi
nese affidavits, the books of the Chinese
six companies specially fixed up for the
Federal courts and never supervised by
any one but Chinese interpreters.
Chinese laborers may land in transit,
the only guarantee of their return to
the ship being bond satisfactory to
the Chinese Consulate.
Chinese laborers may land with fraud
ulent certificates purchased in China,
unless they happen to be three or four
feet shorter or longer than the rightful
owner, and of different SEX Slighter
differences are rarely taken into ac-
count
Any Chinaman able to prove by
sturdy Chinese swearers that he is a
merchant, or something other than a
laborer, may land without any certif-
cate.
Chinese immigrants who, with the
foregoing facilities, have failed to OBJ
tain landing, have the following ad-
ditional advantages
Their cases are continued on bail
until they can study up the locality
sufficiently to prove case of prior resi-
dence
They can be remanded by the United
States District Court to return to China
and take an appeal to the United States
Circuit Court
From returning, if remanded, they
may still escape by one ofseveral ways,
as follows
Appeal to the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
Remain ashore under stay Of pro-
ceedings.
Furnish evidence that they have de-
parted for some foreign port.
These are a few Of the recognized
methods in vogue with the attorneys of
Chinese merchants, and every day the
list is being extended as legal ingenuity
finds out weak spots in the restriction
act and drives gangway through them.

Owing to the spread of Cholera in
France, M. Paul Bert, a member of the
Senate, urges the stringent enforcement
Of the Epidemic Law of 1872. He
deprecated both panic and ostrich-like
blindness and pointed out that though
the present epidemic resembled, thus
far, the beginning Of that Of 1865, the
visitations had steadily increased in In
tensity. In his opinion the scattering
of carbolic and other acids to prevent
the spread of cholera was costly and
futile, and that only rational measures
would be TO watch the movement OF
persons coming from infected districts,
and if necessary, isolate them. After
commenting on the simgularity Of some
municipal measures adopted in France,
M. Paul Bert urged that action should
be taken by the Government, other
wise the Cabinet would be morally re-
sponsible for the rayages Of a scourge
which there really was a chance o.
arresting.
