cording to Charlie Wing, would fill a
obliging, however. aud told the reporter
enough of its meaning to make it read
about as follows:
Notice is hereby given to all Chinese
| laborers who desire to remain in this
country, and who are legally entitled to
remain, to call at this office as early as
possible and procure certificates of resi-
dence. Each applicant for suct certificate
must be accompanied by at least one
credible witness and must present two uu-
mounted photo otographs of himself or..hers-lf
and One-half inches from base of hair to
base of chin. By the terms of tn.
| act OF May ). 1892. as amended
| by act approved Nov. 3, 1898, all
persons falling to make application
and secure certificate of residence
on or before May 3. 1894 and so adjudged
after that date, shall be imprisoned at
hard labor for period not exceeding one
| year and thereafter removed from the
| United States. All Chinese laborers who
| made application aud received certificates
under the act of May ), 1892, shall again
| make application and receive certificates
| of residence under the present act. All
Chinese persons not laborers may also
procure certificate OF residence upon ap-
plicailon as Indicated.
The notice was sent out by Collector
Morris through Deputy Collector HUT
| man OF this city.
care you going to register according to
law" be was asked.
Yes" was his reply, in very coed En-
glish ''Ail the Chinese will obey 4 ne law
to the letter. The six California COM
panies have sent out instructions to us
to register according to law. and every
Chinaman will obey the orders of the
company"
1t seem that there are six big companies
in California that control the entire
Chinese population OF the United States.
Every Chipaman belongs to one of these
companies the same as indians belong to
tribes. These companies bring Chinamen
from the fowery kingdom and after get
ting them here they distribute them
throughout the United States in almost
the same manner that officers Of the Sal
vation Army are Observation-Disclosures
there is room for them. When a China
man dies his company sees to it that his
bones are transported back to the land
of his birth: and if he becomes sick or
crippled his company also takes care
of him. He owes aliegisnce to this COM
pany as much as a soldier would TO his
regiment or au Irdian to his tribe.
The reason the Chinese did not obey the
Geary law before 1t was amended is be-
cause the Six Companies advised them
not to register and they needed the
orders Of the Six Companies
in preference 10 the supreme
law OF this land. 1t was through the in
fiuence OF the Six Companies that tie
amendment of Nov. 8, les3. WAS made TO
the Gesry law, under which they are all
willing TO register now.
