They Discover a New Method of Breaking
Into This Country.
The United States will have to amend its
laws restricting Chinese immigration, or
tho whole force at the command of Marshal
Fnray WILL be powerless to keep tho Ceies-
t1als from crossing the border. The cum
ming Cinnamon, aided by Montreal law
yer. have at last devised scheme by which
they think to evads tho exclusion act. As
matters stood until Tuesday last, it was
generally supposed that it only required
the vigilance of the United States treasury
agents to prevent the advent of Mongolians
into the country, but now all this hna been
changed and the Chinaman can ride across
the line secure in the new scheme which has
enabled him to defeat American legislation.
Under the provisions of the treaty between
Ireat Britain and the United States the
latter is compelled to admit within it's
border. with the right of residence, any
bfitlsh citizen, irrespective of race, creed
or color. Tho Chinaman has taken
advantage Of this clause in the
treaty. On Thnrsday six of the pig
tails presented themselves before ths
superior court at Montreal, and after de-
clarlnR Intentions to beco1pe subjects of
ner most gracious maj jesty. Queen Victoria,
thsy were duly naturAlizsd and admitted to
the i.tl free rights Of Canadian citizenship.
l ms vas but the first step in the game.
Next evening three OF these Chinese British
subjects took tho Canadian Pacific train
Tor Boston. The United States officials
stopped them on the border but they showed
their British naturalization papers and the
of1loiala we're coinpslled to allow them to
PASS on unmolested. A pl ointment United
states treasury official says: Yes unfort-
unatsly, Cinnamon seem to have knocked
out our legislation. In point Of fact, they
nave driven coach and four through it.
Nov what is to prevent our being flooded
with British Mongolians BY tens Of thou
sands before we can find some method Of
oheok1ng them? The authorities i'll Wash
lngton are in consultation over the matter
and it i probable it will be the oause OF
correspondence between the two countries.
u appears that Just now the Canadian gov
srnment is in for soft thing. First, they
collect the $50 psr capita poll tar, and
then, BY making them do a little swearing,
gss r1d OF their very undesirable presence
~ passing them over to as. 10 my mind,
there are worse complications in this thing
than the Boring sea trouble.''

mons Edward Gourlev asked whether the
government, before refusing tho request of
the United States for tho renewal of the
modns vivendi. had under consideration
the dispatch of Sir Badeu- Powell, the Brit
ish commissioner stating that a renewal of
the prohibition against indiscriminats seal
ing and limiting tho catch to 1850 yearly
would be beneficial, and If so, why the
policy thus indicated had not been followed,
Jamas W. Lowther. parliamentary secre-
tary of tho foreign office, replied that it was
incorrect to say that the governments had
refused to consent to renewal OF tho
modua vivendi. Sir Baden Powell had
said, in his opinion, that taking a years
limited crop could not injure the seal
herds. but that renewal of last years pro
hibition and 1900 limit would be hens
