discussion. Mr.. Scharf in his report
charged that the whole proceeding
of examining Chinese for admission
at this port was u farce, and that
bribery was resorted to in order 70
effect an entrance for such a. had
no legal right to land. He believed that
many Chinese had been smuggIed into the

he read the allegations against the char

gathered in the collectors room TO-DAY To
talk things over and il was thought bex,
that the collector should summon Mr..
