New YORK, May 6.-Three Cinnamon
Will be arraigued in the United States
Court tomorrow TO test the constitutions
ality OF the Chinese exclusion law. This
action is taken under an agreed case be-
tween the Chinese Six Companies of
California and the United States Govern
ment. In order that a quick determine
uon may be reached the United States
supreme Court will convene at WASH
lngton Wednesday for final argument.
Inc programme is that the United
States Marshal Will tomorrow arrest
three Cinnamon who have not registered.
These may be taken before Judge Brown
in the United States District Court. sit
ting as Circuit Court Judge, and the
United States District Attorney, on be-
nall OF the Government, will request an
order that they be deported. This order
VIII be granted, and the attorneys for the
Cinnamon will bring habeas corpus pro-
ceedings before Judge Lacombe in the
United States Circuit Court, who will dis
miss the habees corpus and remand the
States Marshal.
Inns applies to two prisoners only. TIE
third prisoners will be arraigned first be-
fore Judge Lacombe. AS there are two
avenues of procedure open, it has been
advisable to test both. At the end of this

be in readiness for the United States Su-
preme Court. 1t is expected its decision
will be rendered within one week or ten
days after the arguments have been
heard. The lawyers for the Chinese will
law much stress on the demonstrations
ality OF the entire Exclusion Act, and es-
pecially Section 6.
a GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY.
TACOMA (Wash.), May 5.-An investi-
CATION by the Ledger shows that a gil
gantic conspiracy exists to flood this
country with Chinese. Every Canadian
Pacific steamer for months past has
brought horde of Chinese. 1t is found
that the number publicly reported to be
on the steamers is less than half, prob
ably not more than third, of the num-
Der actually on board. The Empress of
Japan reported 400, and when she arrived
LOOP were on board. Of these, 657 were
destined for the United States. Twelve
of these came across from Victoria at
night in small skiff, the skipper receiv-
ing S25 a head for landing them. 4
dozen left in yawl on the 29th, to be
landed at Port Townsend. 1t is reported
that they were to pay SIPS to be landed
in the United States, $50 of which goes to
| somebody who keeps their eyes shut
when they are coming in.
Many small crafts ply between British
Columbia and the United States, whose
business is supposed to be entirely the
handling of Chinese. The Government
officials are said to have received a
monthly salary according to their station
for services. y large number of ranchers
in British Columbia, along the line of the
Canadian Pacific, employ Chinese while
they are preparing to get over the line.
When they are gone a new crowd takes
their positions.
NO THREATS IN WASHINGTON.
OLYMPIA tWash.), May 5.-Governor
McGraw, who received from Secretary of
State Gresham a dispatch similar to that
sent to other Governors of the Pacific
Coast, states that he replied as follows:
NO OHlcln or OIner information has
been received at this department as to
threatened danger to Chinese. Every
precautiou will be taken that their rights
may be carefully guarded"
