The treasury department for some
time has believed that Chinese
were using afidayits Of authenti-
cation for ilIegitihats purposes. Some
taken out here were sent abroad aud
sold to Cinnamon: in other cases China
men would dispose Of them after reaching
China. and in both casss the law vas vio-
lated. Under the Law, Chinese merchants
who desire to leave this country 10 visit
China heretofore have been furnished
with papers which, when Endorsed by the
United States consul at the port Of de-
barkation entitled them to rs-entsr the
United States. Acting Secretary Ham!in
thinks the abuse should be stopped. and
has addressed 70 the collectors At Boston
the following letter oa ,he subject:

consul at Hongkong transmitted 10 the depart
rent OF state afidayits subnittsd to him for

The state department will probably not
interfere in the case of the steamship

captain appealed 10 the British legation
for relief from the order of the court.
which required him 10 bring $50 Chinese
Passengers before the court to answer 70

at the department that there will be no
