WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-THE collector Of
customs at Port Townsend, W. r., yester.
day telegraphed the secretary of the treasury
that "a number of Chinese laborers from
Alaska We're en- route TO that port, by the
American steamer Ancon, and that the vesse.
had touched at Victoria, b. c., but that non,
Of the Chinese had landed.n He asked what
action he should take in the premises.
Assistant Secretary Maynard telegraphed
that they could not land under the terms Of
the Chinese exclusion bill. The matter may
assume international Importance, as Alaska
is an American territory, and the transit
hither over the high seas, ON an American
ship, is construed in certain diplomatic
quarters not to take the vessel out Of Ameri-
can territory. The fact that the vessel
touched at a British port will also enter into
