CHINESE CASES.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings of an Inter-
estipg Character.

eSt1Dg CharacCer.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 1.-THE
habeas corpus case of Lou En- Bew, one
of the Chinese passengers who arrived
here last week on the steamship
Oceanic, was postponed in the circuit
court today, for a week. The petitioner
was refused landing on his arrival here,
ON the strength Of decision of the
United States supreme court, rendered
by Judge Field, to the effect that all
Chinese returning to this country must
have certificates from the Chinese gov
ernment, establishing their identity as
merchants.
Collector of the Port Phelps
today received telegram from Acting
Secretary Nettleton of the treasury de-
partment, stating that Chinese who
may have gone from the United States
under instructions contained in the de-
partment's circular of July 3, 1890, may
be admitted on return to this country
under the conditions prescribed in said
circular, providing the collector is satis-
fed of the identity of the returning Chi
nese. 1t is believed under this modified
railing the majority of the 40 Chinese
brought here by the Oceanic will be
allowed to land.
The writ OF habeas corpus in
the case of William Maccabe,
charged with selling railway tickets to
Chinese who did not possess a
certificate showing prior residence
was dismissed in the United
States circuit court this morning, on
motion of General Hart, as
the law under which he was arrested
will not 60 into effect till March next
The case of Gee Chong Tone We. the
Southern Pacific company, which grew
ont of the above transaction, was post
poned until next Monday. McCabbe
was arrested for selling tickets to Chi
nese when they had no residence certifi-
cate. The Southern Pacific is sued for
$4,000 damages for refusing to sell a
ticket.

NEGROES VS.. COOLIES.
Shall We Have an influx OF Black
Laborers?

LabOrers?
New YORK, August IA Herald
editorial says: There is good deal of
sound horse sense in the plan for COL
onizing large number OF negroes on
the Pacific slope. Senator Stanford is
said to be interested, and it is predicted
that within the next twelve months
$4,000 or more colored people may find
employment and homes in California.
At any rate the scheme is under full
headway and will have a fair trial. The
climate out yonder is peculiarly genial
and adapted to the negro's constitution.
California is in need of laborers, and
can give them steady work and fair
living wages, as the Chinese are neither
liked nor trusted.
