Duly sworn 10 before i. s. B. SAWYER,

AS though to emphasize at this critic al
time the great popular feeling against the
Chinese laborers who are now Ie.iding
here unlawfully. Market Inspector New
man yesterday unearthed stencil hole In
Chinatown that is a disgrace even to the
quarter in which it was found. aud that
is saying great deal.
OF late Newman has received complaints
of nuisance at the premises of Tuck
Hing & Co., Mongolian butchers at 746
Washington street. Yesterday be under
took to investigate.
Unexpectedly be swooped down on the
place and bade the proprietor open the
trapdoor that leads into the cellar. The
little yellow man demurred at first to the
order, but when the 1ns pector threatened
to tear open the trapdoor by main force
with the c!eaver the former yielded.
Below that trapdoor Newman found a
pesthole that stunk to heaven. In it he
found round dozen Chinese eating or
sleeping or smoking, twice as many live
goats, five dozen sickly looking ducks, and
enough filth of every kind Imaginable to
fertilize spectabie-sized wheat field.
The decomposing earcasses of three
calves was only an incident of the general
condition of place too foul and filthy to
describe accurately in print
An emaciated old Chinese, clothed in
filthy rags and almost helpless, was another
incident
The Chinese inhabitants slept in miser-
able hunks ranging on the side from floor
TO ceiling. while The goats and ducks were
huddled together in nolsome filth in the
center of the cellar.
The dimensions OF the cellar were Just
about large enough to accommodate one
white man who did not stand in mortal
dread of rheumatism.
Inspector Newman says he has never
seen or heard of so foul a place occupied
by animal life of any description, much
less by dozen animals formed some W hat
after the human breed.
he reported at once to DR.. Keeney, The
Health Officer. and that official has ordered
the nuisance abated forthwith.
And yet there are those WHO ask whether
the Chinese must go?
