Chinese Law,

Washington, Got. 12.-The collector
OF customs at San Francisco has lnform-
ed the treasury department. OF the diff
%culties encountered in the enforcement
of the Chinese restriction law. 1t ap-
pears that seveu Chinese in transit from
New York to Hong Kong, and three
others from Hong Kong to Honululu,
have not yet departed from San Francis
co, although they have had ample time.
The cs.aeStsoT expresses apprehension
that these persons do not intend leaving
the country, and that even If they do it
is their purpose to ~fraudulently obtain
return certificates in order to establish
the right to come and go ut will. The
collector also calls attention to the
practice Of the federal courts in landing
Chinese laborers on writs OF habeas
corpus and releasing them on bail after
the collector has axamined into their
cases and refused to allow them to land.
This practice. hs says, is a~nhstantia!ly &c
abrogation of the law. Acting Secretary
Faircliild advises him to bring the facts
stated by him to the notice of the United
States attorneys for the respective
districts wherein such facts occur.
