The ease with which the Chinese
women are landed was we'll illustrated
in the United States appraisers office
the other day. A reporter walked into
the rooms where the United States dis
ining horde of Chinese who were de-
sirous of landing. The purpose of this
examination is to secure their state
ments before the cases have been heard
in court, and to investigate and find out
their truthfulness. The horde was there
all right, and the mills of examination
were grinding rapidly. The work was
being done by two men. One was a
shorthand reporter, and the other was
Loui, q well-known Chinese interpre-
ter. Loui was run Mig the whole ma
chine, and taking evidene to be pre-
sented to the court when necessary. 1t
is notorious fact that the evidence
taken in this manner never interferes
with the landing of any one. The two
men strongly objected to the presence
of an outsider, and could only be molli-
fled by his departure.
Senator William Stewart, of Nevada,
appeared in Judge Hoge's court the
other day on an order to show cause
why he should not be punished for con-
tempt OF court. The order grew out
of the sensational divorce suit of
Annie M. Fox against A. w. Fox,
which occupied the attention of Judge
Maguire's court IN August, 1884. Mrs.
Fox, who is the daughter of Senator
Stewart, instituted the action on the
ground of cruelty. Her husband filed
q cross-complaint, charging his wife
with desertion, and alleging that as his
wife was an unfit person to have charge
that their custody should be awarded to
him. The trial resulted in the hus-
band securing a divorce and also de-
cree awarding the exclusive custody of
the children.
When Mr.. Fox made an effort to OBJ
tain the children, however, he found
that Senator Stewart had taken them
east beyond his reach. He heard no
word from them. His letters, he al
leges, were unanswered, and he was not
even informed that one of the children
had died. During the present year
when Mr.. Stewart returned to his Ne
vada home Mr.. Fox states that he APP
piled for the children, but was refused
them. He therefore applied for the Or
der to show cause, which came up be-
was present in the court room with the
three children, two interesting boys
and little girl, and evidently fearing
that an attempt would be made by the
father to take them, the party was pro-
vided with police escort. In order
that the necessary witnesses might be
obtained, 1T was ordered that the hear
idg of the cause should go over. COun-
sci for Mr.. Fox requested that an ar
rangement should be made whereby
the father might be permitted to see
his children, but Judge Hoge declined
to make any order until the final dispo-
sition of the case, and ordered that the
children should continue in the posses
sion of the mother and grandfather un-
til an order to the contrary should be
issued.
