A Disputed Question.

Disputed Question.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Some time ago
the treasury department was informed
that it was decided to take number of
Chinese laborers to the West Indies and
application had been made for permits
sion to take them through United States
territory in transit, provided bond is
given that none Of them would remain in
this country. The matter was referred
to the solicitor of the treasury and he
gave the opinion that there is nothing in
the law to prohibit the landing of Chi
nese for the mere purpose of passing
through the country. Secretary Win
dom, however, is not prepared to change
the existing regulations to this extent
and has directed the rejection of the ap-
plication until the question could be con-
sidered more thoroughly. No further
action on the subject Is at all likely.
However, it is understood that arrange
ments have been made since with the
Canadian Transportation Co. by which
the Chinese will be taken across the
continent without the necessity of enter
ing U. s. territory.
