Bee, Chinese vice consul. furnishe statis-
tics concerning arrivals and departures of
Chinese at this port, and said there were
over $1,000 certificates outstanding when
the Scott act passed, and they
were held by Chinese who had
never returned here since the passage
of the Scott act. The excess OF de-
partures over arrivals had been about
10000 When questioned by Congressman
stump as TO the discrepancy between his
figures and those of Collector Hogan. wit
ness stated that the consulate kept track
OF departures in transit. which he thought
was not done by the collector of customs.
and which would account for the excess of
his figures over those of the collector.
The returns made by the custom-house
were produced. however. and showed that
record of departures in transit had been
kept
Consul Bee said be had received his re-
turns for twelve years past from the agent
OF the steamship companies. Witness
said the Chinese Six Companies were
purely benevolent associations and never
brought out men from China or contracted
for labor The companies do arbitrate
Chinese cases but never use intimidation
or violence. He thought it likely that
debtors may have been held prisoners by
the Six Companies for payment of debts.

this system.

ers in this country who have no visible
means of support, and be believed their

FORT ANGELES NEWS.
Railroad Graders Strike-Provisions OF
Townsite Reserve Bill.

ioWusfte Reserve Bill.
PoRT ANGELES, Dec. o-[Special. The
men on the grade work stopped work yes
terday morning. They claim their wages
have been cut down to So per day, and that
they are locked for time lost, which brings
their wages to about $l.s5 per day; also
that they are compelled to board at the
company's eating house. which works
quite hardship to many who have built
homes on the reservation and. wish to live
there. E. c. Burlingame. of Tacoma, has
recently purchased an interest in the con-
tract, and these orders are from him. No
tees were put up around town yesterday
advising him to leave town. The workmen
are considerably worked up, and the situa-
ton is somewhaI serious.
The recent dispatch from Washington
Ciy to the PosT-ISTELLrsKNcER, relating
to Ithe Port Angeles townsite reservation,
is somewhat misleading. Itintimates that
the entire reserve of 5000 acres is involved
in the measure. whereas the bill introduced
by Senator Alien last June provides differ
entity. This bill was read twice and re-
ferred to the committee on public lands,
and in the nature of things 1t is the one
that has been called up and passed
at the request of Mr. Allen. 1t
appropriates a small portion only,
about 200 acres, of the reserve for public
buildings. leaving the balance in stdtu quo.
IL may be possible that the bill has been
so changed as TO include the whole, but it
is not practicable. In either event it will
be great thing for Claliam county If it
succeeds in running the gauntlet of the
House and becoming law. as it will give
her thousands OF dollars for use in the
construction of public buildings and the
payment of other lawful Indebtedness.
