EVADING TIE RESTRICTION ACT.

CHINESE MERCHANTS CERTIFICATES SAID TO
BE FRAUDULENTLY ISSUED IN SHANGHAI.
San Francisco July % CSpecaD. scandal in
regard TO the sale Of Chinese certificates has been
earthed by Collector Phelps, OF san Francisco He
has discovered that recently Chinese merchants cer-
Gates have been sale in Shanghai at 5000 each and
that no less than thirty Of these bogus certificates have
been presented here within ninety days. When the
Scott Exclusion Act passed In 1884 1t provided that
the only class Of Chinese to be admitted were scholars,
diplomats and merchants. All had 10 have certificates
approved by the Chinese Government and counter
signed by the American Consul at the port from which
they sailed. The Chinese Government never recognized
this rule in regard TO merchants, and until within
three months no regular merchant certificate issued
by the Chinese Government was ever received. All
merchants who entered provided with certificates
Issued by the consular authorities by order OF the
Chinese Minister at Washington.
Recently Chinese have appeared here with certif-
Gates purportng TO be issued by the Chinese ptendene
or port officer OF Shanghai, and approved by United
states ConsuGeneral Joseph A. Leonard Of shanghai.
Examination of these documents shows that the seal
is not genuine and there is proof that the Chinese
Government recognizes their issue.
From reputable Chinese who have recently
returned from Shanghai IL is learned that the Chinese
merchant who obtained large indemnity for his coun
Tymen who driven out Of Seattle Is carrying on
this business Of furnishing merchants certificates and
that he has either deceived Consul General Leonard
or IS in collusion with some In LeOnard's Office.
These Chinese say that il is notorious that such GER
hcaes may be bought in Shanghai for 1900, with the
guarantee that if the certificate is not approved the
passage money Will be returned. Collector Phelps
refused to recognize these merchants certificates and
the Chinese Consulate here protested. An order came
from the Secretary OF the Treasury instructng Mr
Phelps to recognize them but he has replied In long
letter giving the facts in the case. lie demands an
investigation OF the methods used In the shanghai
Consulate as he is assured that there is deliberate
attempt TO evade the restriction act.

The enthusiasm Of the French visitors has been
dampened by the absence in the speeches made by

Admiral Walker said to-day in speaking of
the fouling of the Newarks anchor-chains which
prevented her getting here before. that it was
nothing that could have been foreseen or avoided
She had two anchors down, the chain cables Of
which were held together close TO the stem above
water by a moving swivel. This moving swivel
was supposed to turn as the ship swung to the
tide, so as to prevent the fouling of the chain
cables. For some reason, probably owing TO the
ships swinging when tine moorings were slack,
the swivel failed to work, and the chain cables
became twisted under water. This could not be
discovered from the deck. II there had been
any necessity for her to have got out quickly, the
Admiral said she could have slipped her anchor
chains and gone to sea at once. 1t was an acci-
dent, he added, which would occur once in many
years but always liable to happen in place
like the North River.

New-London, July 27.-When the bugle sounded
reveiDe to-day Commander Millers flagship
StOnington the early morning sun showed another
ship added to the long white line of men-of.war
which stretched along The rocky shores of the west
end of Fishers Island. 1t was the Newark, which,
just as the sun rose out of the sea, had come up
and anchored ahead of the Chicago. The feet OF
warships anchored here now is an imposing one,
probably the strongest ever gathered in any one
harbor of the United States under the blue white
starred pennant of Admiral Walker. When the
revellle sounded officers and men turned out, and
the days routine OF duties was begun In that mat
ter-of-fact manner which comes from the long
usage Of everyday life. Scarcely less matt'r-of-
fact were the members of the Naval Reserve under
the great blue flag of Commander Miller when
they turned out TO the notes of the morning bl ge
1t is remarkable how the members of
the Reserve have become accustomed to
their new surroundings and their lew
mode of life. Now and then man
makes a mistake in nomenclature and calls a
line a rope deck floor and ladder stairs, but
they all grow saltier and saltier every day, and it
is feared that an able seaman who in civil life is a
member of the Stock Exchange will, when he re-
turns 10 Wall Street, be selling puts and
calls" on barnaces. 1t is not much wonder
that the members of the Reserve have learned so
rapidly, for they are men whose brains have made
them successful in other walks of life, and they
have, for the time being, completely forgotten
everything else and devoted all their ability to the
work in hand
On Wednesday Governor Hill, who has all along
been rather opposed to the Naval Reserve, Will
visit the Stonington with his staff Popular senti-
IN +,a Nav
ports of what it has so far accomplished unaided,
and in fact opposed by the Governor has forced
him to take cognizance of it and if possible iden-
tify himself with it, So he comes on wednesday
attended by his staff and will stay on board the
Stonington over night. This is one of the greatest
victories of the Reserve. 1t has absolutely forced
the Governor to come over to it's side.
