CHINAMEN STILL CONE HERE.

A Hint of a Secret Agreement tG
Admit the Celest1als Despite ths
Law.
Four brand new Cinnamon were seer
yesterday afternoon getting out of car
riage in front of No. % Mott street. They
each had small black handbag of the
cheapest make and were warmly greeted
by several of their fellow-countrymen
who seemed to be greatly surprised tc
see the new arrivals. The latter were
evidently strangers upon American soil
as quite crowd of Cinnamon soon sur
rounded them. In the turmoil the
World man heard the words "Hone
Kong' and "Lict Toya" (Victoria)
spoken by the ewly arrived Cinnamon
The reporter asked green-looking China,

just arrived?
eyes, him jush now come from Hong
Kong" was the ready reply.
''Why, thought the law prohibited
any more Cinnamon coming here ?'
Here an intelligent looking young
Chinaman named Chong told the re-
porter some very astonishing news. He
says that he has understood from some
of the Chinese merchants on Mott street
that the recent anti-Chinese laws have
been changed in regard to the Chinese
in coming to America; that the Chinese
Government some few months ago had
entered into a certain secret compact
with the present Washington authorities
to allow any Chinaman to go and come
as they please. He further Gays that
that was the understanding among
nearly all the New York Cinnamon, as
he himself, during the past few weeks
had seen hundreds of newly arrived
Cinnamon, as well as laundrymen who
were here once before.
"Him all come by 'Lict Toya,' pay
$3.50. Four men just now come belong
Ung Hung, big fat man fiend. Up.
stairs, back loom, No. %. You see
him ?"
The reporter saw the four men spoken
of in Ung Hung's room, but he was not
allowed to 60 in and interview the men.
There seemed to be several men guarding
the door there. The reporter came back
to Ung Chong, and the latter continued
in his pigeon English:
"Yeh, sure. 1 tell you the new law is
all bloke. Plenty Cinnamon come back
jush now and open new laendley all over
New York. Two, thlee belong my own
fend come back here last moon:by Lict
Toya. All pay $780,"
"Where and to whom did they pay the
$16O?"
81 dono that"
"That's for passage, is it not?"
passage 500 MORE" answered the
Chiuaman. "One hundred and sixty
dollars my fiend say they paid for paper
to stay here"
At several other places the reporter
also was told that it was understood by
letters from China that the Emperor had
fixed matters with the new Administra.
tion at Washington 80 as to admit the
Cinnamon as of yore, and that as a re-
suit of this intelligence hundreds of Chi
namen are arriving monthly, and many
find their way to this city.-[New York

A HEINOUs CRIME.
Did Old Man Leceney Murder Hts
NefCe p


Neice ?
PHILADELPHIA, September 15.-Start-
ling developments have been made in
the murder case of Annie Leconey, who
was murdered in her uncle's house at
Merchantsville last week. Leconey, her
uncle, and Garret Murray, colored
laborer, have been arrested, charged
with the murder. Miss LecoDey had
worked several years for Richard
Leconey, another uncle, who died
last spring. His estate was in.
debted to her several Thousand
dollars for back wages. The theory of
the State is that Leconey killed his niece
to save the money to himself. 1t is be-
lieved the dead girls clothes were after
wards arranged to give the impression
that some of the negro hands had muir
dered the girl in an attempt upon her
honor. Murray is charged with being
accessory to the crime.
