bub Over the Matter.

SAN Francisco, Cal, Sept. 1.-THE
first Cinnamon to have their sentences
of deportation under the Geary regis
tration act executed arrived in San
Francisco from Los Angeles Saturday
and are now confined in the county
Jail, where they will be detained until
Tuesday, when they will be sent back
to the celestial kingdom on the steam
er China There are five Chinese in
the batch and they came here in charge
of United States Marshal Gard, who
will see them on board the steamer and
will not leave them until he has the
captains receipt for them.
The Chinese are all laborers, and
were arrested on warrants issued from
the United States court in Los Angeles.
They were taken before Judge Ross
and by him sentenced to be deported,
as they had not complied with the law
requiring all the Chinese in the
United States to be registered. Col
lector Wise was notified by telegram
that the Chinese were on their way to
San Francisco, and was requested by
Marshal Gard to have aproperly author
lied officer ready to receive the pris-
oners.
The collector telegraphed to WASH
ington for instructions, and the answer
came Saturday evening, instructing
him to notify the marshal in charge OF
the prisoners that he would have to
look out for them until they were on
board the steamer, as the entire matter
tnI xx-if ha ~ fha a u,-ch ha1
was the man properly authorized to
carry out it's order.
News that these Chinese had arrived
in the city and would be placed on the
steamer leaving Tuesday created a
sensation all through Chinatown here.
The matter was the only subject of
conversation among the Chinese of all
classes Saturday night The presidents
of the six companies held conference
Saturday afternoon at the CONSUL
generals Office, and not few dis
patches passed between them and the
Chinese legation at Washington Those
who profess to know what the local
Chinese are about to do declare that
the consul-general and the six COM
panies are preparing petition to
document will place blame for
Chinese not registering here
tofore upon the faith they gave
their American legal advisers who as
sured them that the Geary law could
not stand. 1t will promise allegiance
in future and pray for an extension of
time in which to allow them to regis
ter In view of the recent develop
ments the Chinese question is creating
much public interest here, though
there seems no proba bility of any vio-
lence ameng classes who are most hos
tile to the Chinese.
United States Judges McKenna and
Morrow are expected to decide i'm
portant cases Monday involving the
deportation of an unregistered China
man, and if they decide in favor of de-
portation it is proba BILE that an effort
will be made to have a number Of
Chinese in this city arrested. The or
ganization known as the antiChinese
Law and Order league, which is led oy
several local anti-Chinese agitators,
has arranged for large mass-meeting
Thursday, at which efforts will be made
to secure rigid enforcement of the
Geary act, and among other things
memorial will be addressed to congress
calling for appropriation of funds
necessary to enforce the law.
The situation in the interior of the
state does not seem to indicate any
probability of any very serious acts of
violence against Chinese laborers An
attack upon Chinese grape-pckers near
Fresno, Friday, seems to have been
made by a party of rough characters
more for purposes of robbery than any
thing else. One of the Cinnamon at.
tackled there is in dangerous condi-
ton, and may not recover.
A dispatch from Tulare announces
that an attack has been made upon
Chinese vegetable peddlers there. A
party of four men on horseback rode to
bunk-house at night, produced pis-
tolls, and demanded money from the
Chinese, who said there was none there.
The robbers said they wonld kill them,
so the Chinese brought out money
bag with $175.
+, After that the robbers went through
their pockets and extracted SIS more.
One Chinaman tried to get away, but
was knocked down with club. A
man named Clark has been arrested for
this offense and warrants have been
issued for the arrest OF others.
A dispatch from San Berrardino
states that 300 Chinese-cooks, walters
and other laborers-quit work Sunday
morning by order of the six compan-
les. The Southern hotel was forced to
close for lack of help. The Chinese say
they will return to China.
