cannery in this town yesterday after

hustled her rather roughly, and becom-
ing angered she cut at him with her
fruit knife, intiieting severe wound in

Not satisfied with this, she reached
for more vital part, and planted her
knife in his left side a little below the
heart, making an ugly wound which

NO sBARY VICTIMS HERE.
Every wilmington Chinaman Has Con-
formed with the Requirements of the
Government and There is No Room fol-
Federal Prosecution.

Every Wilmington Chinaman Has Con-
formed with the Requirements of the
Government and There is No Room for
Federal Prosecution.
The first case under the Chinese ex-
clusion act affecting the district Of
which Delaware forms part arose in
Baltimore on Saturday when Celestial
named Charlie Wing was prosecuted for
being Illegally in this country. He had
lust come back from China after visit
to his home of 19 months. His papers
claimed for him registration under the
Geary act as q merchant selling Chinese
curios. The charge is that he is not q
merchant, but laborer. The informa-
tion was sworn out by fellow country
man.
Col. Marion 9. Leitch of the revenue
office here was seen Tuesday in regard
TO the status of the Chinese in this city.
He said that every one Of them are reg
istered.
Have you in view action against
any of the Wilmington Chinese for
false registration ~ reporter asked.
II do not know one," Colonel Leitch
replied, "that has not been properly
registered. They have been very well
looked after in regard 10 the law. A
lady who is greatly interested in the
Chinese residents of Wilmington had at
least two-thirds of them brought here.
The landlords of the Cinnamon also saw
that they came here and qualified under
the Geary law.
"There is no likelihood of any prose-
cutions in this district. Then this office
has taken special care in regard to the
Celestials for the past six months that
am pretty positive there will be nc
| trouble here"
1t is stated that Chinese laundryman
doing business on Seventh street between
