Superintendent Of Schools A. J. MouIder
has ordered the census of Chinese children
to be taReu again. He gives as his reason
for so doing that there has been a falling
off of 200 in the census of the native-horn
Chinese this year, which he thinks is due
TO the fact that the Chinese houses, having
been several times searched by the police
for white children, the Celestials thought
the Census Marshal was on the same
erran@s and have tried every means to de-
ceive-him.
1t appears from Customs records, relating
to Chinese immigration, that there have
been issued at this port 1884 return certi-
fcates to Chinese laborers and 600 to Chi
nese merchants-a total of A, ,530-and that
II ,563 certificates have been returned and
cancelled. There are therefore outstanding
Customs certificates to the number of 26,-
967 from this port alone. The interesting
question concerning this great number of
certificates is whether they are in the hands
of persons entitled to them. or whether
they are to be presented by substitutes here
as evidence emitting them to landing in the
United States.
