SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.-The first
Cinnamon to have their sentences of de-
portatiOn under the Geary registration
act executed arrived in San Francisco
from Los Angeles yesterday. and are
now confined in the county jail, where
they will be detained until Tuesday,
when they will be sent back to the Ce-
leStial kingdom on the steamer China.
There are five Chinese in the batch, and
they came here in charge of United
States Marshal Gard, who will see them
on board the steamer, and will not leave
them until he has the captains receipt
for them. The Chinese are all labOrers,
and were arrested OH warrants issued
from the United States court in Los
Angeles. They were taken before
Judge Ross and by him sentenced to be
deported, as they had not complied with
the law requiring Chinese in the United
States to be registered. Collector Wise
was notified by telephone that the Chi
nese were on their way to San Fran
cisco, and was requested by Marshal
Gard to have
PROPERLY AUTHORIZED OFFICER
ready to receive the prisoners. The
collector telegraphed to Washington for
instructions, and the answer came last
evening instructlng him to notify the
marshal in charge of the prisoners that
he would have to look out for them
until they were on board the steamer. las
the entire matter rests with the courts.
and the marshal was the man properly
authorized to carry out its order. News
that these Chinese had arrived in the
scity and would he placed on the steamer
leaving Tuesday. created sensation all
through Chinatown here. The act was
the only matter of conversation among
the Chinese of all classes last night.
The presidents of the Six Companies
held conference yesterday afternoon
at the consul generals Office, and not
few dispatches passed between them
and the Chinese legation at Washing
ton. Those who profess to know what
the local Chinese are about to do de-
clare that the consul general and the
Six Companies are
PREPARING A PETITION
to send to President Cleveland. The
document will place the blame for
Chinese not registering heretofore upon
the faith they gave their American
segal advisers, who assured them that
tine Geary law could not stand. 1t will
promise allegiance in future and pray
for an extension of time in which to al
low them to register. In view of the re-
cent developments the Chinese question
is creating much public interest here.
though there seems no probability of
any violence among classes who are
most hostile to the Chinese. United
states Judges McKenna and Morrow
are expected to decide important cases
tomorrow involving the deportation of
All unregistered Chinaufan, and If they
decide in favor of deportation it is prob
able that an effort will be made to
have number of Chinese in this
city arrested. The organization known
as the Anti-Chlnese Law and Order
league, which is led by several local
anti-Chinese agitatOrs, has signed for a
large mass meeting Thursday, at which
efforts will be made to secure the rigid
enforcement Of the Geary act, and,
among other things, memorial will be
addressed to congress calling for an ap-
preparation OF funds necessary to
ENFORCE THE LAW.
The situation in the interior of the
state does not seem to indicate any
probability of any very serious acts of
violence against Chinese laborers. An
attack upon Chinese grape pickers near
Fresno Friday seems to have been made
by party of rough characters, more
for the purpose of robbery than any
thing else. One of the Cinnamon at
tackled there is IN dangerous condition,
and may not recover. A dispatch from
Tulare announces that an attack has
been made upon Chinese vegetable ped
dlers there. A party of four men on
horseback rode to bunk house at night,
produced pistols and demanded money
from the Chinese. who said there was
not any. The robbers said they would
kill them, so the Chinese brought out
money bag with S175. After that the
robbers went through their pockets,
and extracted SIS more. One Chinaman
tried to get away. but was knocked
down with club. A man named Clark
has. been arrested for this offense, and
warrants have been issued for the arrest
;Of others. A dispatch from San Ber.
aardino states that 800 Chinese cooks,
walters and other laborers quit work
this morning by order of the Six Com ]
