remarks, in the same strain as Colonel Lewls.
 The secrstary here offered to contrj- bute $I,ooo towards sending 1000 China men to Boston. He thought that was where they belonged.
 On motion of w. A. Nash, it was de. cided to form the Tombstone anti Chinese association and to open roll for signatures,
 A number of calls were made for Wardwell, but the War horse did not re- spond.
 MT, Reppy made a few remarks by request.
 w. R. Burke followed with an elo- quent appeal.
 ]. NJ. Nash came next, wi h short speech,
 J. P. Rafierty then told what he knew about former movement of similar character, which was started in Tomb stone Tn 1880 At that time, there were only fifteen Chnrmen in Tombstone. {. One Mcclellan had offered to get rid ol them for S25o, but the women had ob- jected on account of the washing The speaker said there were no Chinamen al Bisbee and people seemed 10 get theil washing done there, all right He thought that, with lttle energy on the part of our citizens, and by their all talk ing stock in the steam laundry enter prise, We could get rid of all the China men within ninety days,
 Mir Woods, who was called for, re- marked that we could not get the Chnamen to leave by talking. We must work, He had taken an interest in the steam laundry scheme, as business proposition About seven eighths ofthe Tombstone Chinamen were engaged Tn laundry work, the others being servants. There would be no trouble about dis charging the latter, at once, but he thought that before the other Chinamen were driven out, substitute for their work should be provided. He had agreed 10 take 1000 shares of steam laundry stock. Everyone should subscribe. If all present signed an agreement not to hire Chinamen, il would not amount to much There were probably not over a dozen Chinamen employed by those in the room. The steam laundry, was in his opinion, the best means to use.
 Mr. Weatherby moved that a com mittee of five be appointed, to draft re- solutions to present to future meeting.
 Mr. Rafferty seconded, if the mover would substitute an "hour" for future meeting"
 w. A. Nash thought three quarters of an hour would be sufficient.
 Mir. Wcatherly remarked that such time would be impossible. They didn't want to make a farce of this thing.
 Mir. Mellgren thought time should be 1, allowed to correspond with similar or ganizations in California.
