Chinese In Tacoma,

For little more than ten years Ia
coma, WASH, has enjoyed the distinc-
ton of being the only strictly anti
Chinese city in the union, On Novem-
Der G, 1855, the last of the Chinese were
forcibly driven from the city and the
city and county were tabooed to their
race. There was u lot of excitement
during the incidents Of the crusade,
and the troops were called out. Since
phcn. and until n few days ago, not a
Chinese laborer lived in Tacoma. A
few days ago the horrible discovery
was made that Thomas Riggs, Il
wealthy resident of the city, had hired
two Chinese servants to take the place
of two Jnps. The old committee Of
fifteen was called together and waited
ON Mr.. Riggs, Mr.. Riggs showed them
the door and declined to ndmit their
right to interfere in his domestic ar
Engagements. Next day the committee
called again, accompanied by the
mayor, who wanted to see that Mr.
Riggs wns protected, md consider
able crowd gathered. Mr. Riggs again
asserted his rights, and there the mat
ter rests. But the people of the place
urc wrought up, declare the Chinese
must go and threaten to make trouble
