CHINESE DAY.
The Appraisers Building Over

Habeas Corpus Writs Galore-The Pietails

Big Batch Coming

There is always tendency to set apart
certain days for certain special work.
Courts have their law and motion days,
women their wash days and merchants
their collection days.
There are market days, rent days, holt
days. and even days for starving the
stomach. but the newest thing in special
days is the Chinese day in the Appraisers
Building 1t has become one of the recog-
nized institutions of the place. like the
serio-comic playfulness of Deputy Collector
Jerome. The day is always the one pre-
ceding the sailing day of steamer to
China, and is caused by the rush to the
habeas corpus mill and the justification of
b0ndsmen.
Yesterday was Chinese day in the APP
praisers' Building. Its slaomy old corri-
doris were lighted up by the moving. many
hued garments of innumerable Celestials.
They marched upstairs and marched down,
swarmed in the cOurt-rooms and clerks Of
fees. and kept an incessant babbling of gut
tural sounds to cOnfound the usual echoes Of
the place.
FIFTY-Two BROUGHT ASHORE.
Fifty-two of the Gaelic's Chinese were
taken from the steamer by United States
Marshal Long and marched up into his Of
leased on bail or taken to the County Jail.
The sight of his numerous charges, of whom
he taxes custody at so much per head,
aroused the latent playfulness dwelling
deep in the good Marshaps bosom.
Il never would have supposed in
the old days. he said. "when L
was fiercely agitating for the exclu-
sion of Chinese that l should come to
regard their invasion as good thing. Per-
haps Commissioner McAllister and L, and,
indeed, few Others ought to feel kindly
toward the invading horde. They make
business for us. 1t is singular that have
only just discovered the good that is in
Chinaman. 1t is rather expensive fun for
them, but we can stand it all right"
THOSE FELLOWS FROM MEXICO.
The remanded twenty-four Cinnamon
from over the Mexican border are making
another ts hit for admission to the land Of
the free. writ of habeas corpus was yes
terday sued out in the Circuit Court, alleg-
ing that three Of them had gone from the
United States into Mexico, and from there
back again, and hence deporting them to
China is not sending them to the country
from whence they came. The writ was di-
rected TO Captain Pearn of the Gaelic, who
made return that the men were not in his
custody, but in the custody of the Collector
of the Port. A new writ will be served on
Collector Phelps this morning.
1t has long been known that the singular

Chinese at their examination were the re-
suit OF careful drilling before arrival. Ex-
cept IN the cases OF the Chinese women
Nah All Wah and Chin All Toy no direct
evidence has ever been obtained as to how
this was done, but the following letter,
seized by Collector Phelps watchers, as it
was about to be delivered to Chinaman
on the Gaelic, throws some light on this
matter. The letter has been translated by
Chinaman and hence its faulty English:
"ENGIISH AS SHE Is WROTE"

HIN: All OF your letters had received. But You

Another letter to Chong Lung and Win

Answer all TO me. Answer all to me SO / may

your papers the Custom ofhcer refuse to landed.
A BIG BATCH COMING.
The Chinese day of yesterday will be of
small moment to the Chinese day Of next
week. Information was received yester-
day that the steamer China from Hong
Kong would shortly arrive with 233 Chinese
on board. This is the largest number lately
carried by any incoming ship.
1t is not known if the significant Chinese
agitation in the East has any bearing upon
this fresh impetus to invading monaghan
ism. but Collector Phelps will use all due
diligence to prevent any illegal landings.
1t is expected that many of them will have
hard time in setting foot on shore.
