the CHINESE QUESTION.

Chinese Cnnsuls Getting Evidence-rhe
Anti-Chinese Aovsment Breaking Out 1t
Butte. Mont.
Rock SPRINes, w. T., September ia
The Government Directors of the Union
Pacific, ON . tour of inspection, arrived
from the East yesterday morning and spent
the entire day here, looking into the causes
of the late riot. They were met by COM
mittee of citizens who presented over
twenty closely written pages Of evidence,
showing the anti Chinese demonstrations to
have been the OutgrOwth of an accunala-
ton of grievances under which the miners
had suffered for several years. Aside from
the facts already published regarding the
sale of the best places in the mines to
Chinese, whereby Superintendent and pet
bosses were enriched, it was shown by in
disputable evidence that short weights have
been used. In one case Of this nature
miners were defrauded out Of from 400 to
500 pounds Of coal per car mined.
The weigh boss who made the
discovery was discharged. The directors
will continue their investigation TO day,
leaving for the west this afternoon. Three
Chinese COnsuls arrived yesterday to in
qnire into the causes and effects Of the late
AlOts III VI ttC SutuCSC
They are General Bee, of San Francisco;
Using, of New York, accompanied by an
interpreter. They have been clOseted with
their own people most of the day, and it is
impossible to learn just now what
they have accomplished. They will remain
several days. Assistant General Superin-
tended Dickinson and Governor Warren
and Superintendent Wurtel are also here,
presumably to assist the Chinese officials in
their Investigation. They will begin taking
testimony to-day. All was quiet last night
The Chinese still refuse to 60 to work in
the mines. White miners still stand out
under instructions from the Knights Of La
Dor, consequently the mines are all Idle and
have been since the riot. A coal famine is
threatened along the road in consequence.
BUTTE, MONT, September 1S.--The
feeling against the Chinese, which culmi-
mated in Helena and Anaconda in orders
for the MOngOlians to leave. has broken out
in Butte and the following circular, signed
by the Knights of Labor, has been cir
culated:
Whereas, We view with CONSERVATION
the growing evil of having the Chinese in
our midst, and knowing them to be detri-
mental to the best interests Of the country,
and not having anything in common with
our interests, we, the working men, once
for ali have decided that we will 10 longer
tolerate them in our midst They have
come into our fair land with all the hellish
customs of their race and prostitute orr
children to all the evil habits and degrade
ton the human mind can conceive, and We
ask all good citizens to join US in Kidding

for the well being of the city that
they should be removed Immediately. We
do not desire to create any hardship to the
business men or the general public of the
city, therefore we give them Until the LIST
