"Meiican man DO sabe. We stay light

| And stay he does. There might be q

tempted effect. 1t would make no differ
ence at present.
Yesterday the warrants against All
Wong. All Yin and All Toy. the shot-towrl
labOrers, were placed in the hands of Mar
shal Long for service.
1t took the arguments of three high
priced lawyers and a whole days time Ol
beth the Circuit and District courts to Sc
cure these warrants. More, it took much
legal learning and great clerical ability
not to mention twelve hours time-to Sc
carefully construct the verbiage of these
warrants that they might, perchance. hold
water against the legal acumen Of Attor-
ney Riordan.
And now they are worth pound rates for

Why?
Because there are no such Chinese as All

much less working at the shot tower. The
three Abs ceased to he three minutes after
Judge McKenna had concluded his de-
cisiOn granting the warrants.
And any one who doubts the statement
may search for themselves. Marshal
Long Is convinced. Early yes erday
morning he buckl-d on an extra revolver,
put three pairs of hand uffs in his pocket
and started out, accompanied by the COM
planning witness, 10 serve the warrants.
We've come for these Chinese" said
the Marshal when he reached the shot
tower.
There are no Chinese here" said the
superintendent
But there were some here"
~ es, last week there were some. Let
me see-they were down on the payroll as
Jim Blaine. Ben Harrison, Grover Cleve-
land and Tom Geary and such names
They have not been here since Monday"
Where have they gone?
All. who knows When the proverbia
needle can be found in the traditional hay
rick maybe these three Ans can be found
in Chinatown. Marshal Long is not going
10 make the search.
Thus endeth the history of the first
three warrants issued under section of
the Geary law, in this city. The waste
paper basket yeaTns for them.
I'VE will find some other Cinnamon" 1"

land will have new warrants issued on the
same ruling"
And straightway committee from the
Antl-ChlneSe League visited NpuStadter'S
shirt factory, on Cough street, near Hayes,
where it was known that a great many
Chinese have been employed.
Again defeat stared the anti-Chinese
men in the face. They found that all Of
the sixty or more MOngulians who had
worked there had abdIcated their places

But two Celestial shirtmakers were left

| Now to aDprehend these TWO shirt
makers, who may or may not have secured

swear out warrants against them in the
| United States court. then TO arrest them.
The last is the rub. is it probable that
/ these Chinese will wait patiently for the
arresting officer? Hardly. Before the
/ warrants shall have been secured these
| two Celestials will have merged their iden-
! titles in tie Asiatic conglOmerate of chi

And the committee of the Anti-Chinesa
/ League will be apt to tax cog iZance OF

! Thus endeth, for the time being, the at

! However, some of the Chinese are quite
/ alarmed still and there was a little exodus

more of them left the city between morn

will also go to South America, to Mexico
and to British and Central America.

claiming that as his clients were accused
OF nc heia0us crime they ought to be per-
mitted to enjoy the outside atmosphere for

Judge Morrow cogitated on the vexed
question all day and finally decided AT as

The anti Chinese convention which was

will probably be postponed, or at least
preparations for it will be held in abey
