Chinese Marriage piffoulties.

WATERLOO, Sept. 5.-Fong Wing,
a Chinese landryman of this city, who
made application to become citizen a
few days ago in order that he might go
back to China, to get married and re-
turn to America, will probably fail to
secure his papers. The application
came before Judge Linehan yesterday
and although he has not yet decided it,
it is understood that he holds that the
Burlingame treaty act of 1882, forbid
ding the Importation of Chinese labor
ers, prohibits their becoming citizens.
Fong Wing. who has become quite
wealthy, vows that he will go back to
China and get married in spite of the
laws against his return to America.

A Bill Forbidding Chinese savir G
the U S. to Return.
Certificates of Identity Cancelled anC
No More to be Issued.
Penalties Provided in a Former Act
Attached to The Supplement-.
The Bill Passes the Lower House
Without Division.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Sin the hou Sc
to-day Scott of Pennsylvania asked
unanimous consent to introduce for
present consideration the bill supple
mentary to an act to execute certain
treaty stipulatiOns relating to the
Chinese, approved 1888.
Section provides that from and after
the massage of this act il shall be I'M
lawful for any Chinese laborer who
shall at any time heretofore have been,
or who may now or hereafter be, res
ident within the United States and VINO
shall have departed or shall depart
therefrom and shall not have returned
before the passage of this act, to return
to the United States.
Section 2 provides that no certlh-
Gates of identity provided for in the
4th and 5th sections of the act tC
which this is supplemental shall here
after be issued and every certificate
heretofore issued in pursuance thereof
is hereby declared void and of no
effect and the Chinese laborer claim
ing admittance by virtue thereof shall
not be permitted to the United States.
Section 3 provides that all the duties
and penalties prescribed by the I'd
10th, 18th and 18th sections of the act
to which this is a supplement are
u6ICOI anu llduO
to the provisions of this act.
Section provides that all such part
OF the act to which this is a supple
ment as are INCONSISTENT herewith arr
hereby repealed.
Scott stated that the proposed legis
lation was the only means by which
the Chinese laborers could be kept oui
of the country.
Payson of Illinois inquired whethe
the bill had been submitted to the re
publican members from California.
Scott replied that 1t had not, but
was submitted to them now. If tn
report as to the rejection OF the Chimes
treaty was correct, or II the treaty wa
hereafter ratified, there was nothing Il
the bill in violation of the treaty.
Morrow of California said the bil
was directed to the revocation OF Gel
tificates of Identification. The Cal
fornia delegation were unanimously i
favor of any measure which would cur
the evil existing on the Pacific coast
but the pending bill, as he had hear
read, did not cover the point at issue
1t provided for the repeal of that prC
vision OF the act of May g, 1882, whic
provided for the issuance of certificate
of identity. The trouble was that tn
treaty of 1880 provided that Chimes
who were in the United States coul
go and come of their own free will an
accord.
The house passed the bill without oil
lection or division.
