Seized with an Impression That All
Chinatown Is TO Be Deported
at an Early Date.

The Chinese residents OF this city are in
a state of great agitation. This condition
was brought about by the execution Of a
recent order by the District Commissioners
requiring the police 10 visit every house in
the city occupied by MongoIians aud report
the number of Cinnamon iu each, their CON
ton, the total number III the District and
other data.
Owing To the imperfect knowledge OF
the English language on the part OF many
OF the saffron faced dlaundrymen the police
experienced much difficulty in getting the
desired information or making themselves
understood.
The false impression finally dawned upon
the Ceestials that a movement nad been
started by the police To get their names
and addresses for the purpose of deport-
ing them back to China This news was
spread through Chinatown, ndfTom thence
il radiated with rapdity TO the laundries
scattered about the city
Great excitement resulted, and yesterday
several Cinnamon called upon lawyers about
the city hall 10 ask for relief from the be-
lieved forced exodus One dapper little
fellow said to Attorney O'Neil:
''MeicIan pleecemlan try send Chinamlen
black China an Chinamlen no wantee go.
Stay here an makee money
Detective Tom Hartigan, who canvassed
the Mongolans in the Sixth precinct, had
some funny adventures while trying TO
collect the desired information. He found
one Chnaman who has white wife, who
will soon become a mother. The husband
was greatly disturbed and declared in
strong pigeon English" that he would not
forsake the woman. He added that il nc
was deported he could not take his Cau-
casiau wife to China with him, as both
would be barred and the woman might he
murdered by fanatics.
Another Chfnaman was found with a
Chinese wife and several babies, while
there were any number of laundrymen W no
are counting their colored girl assistants
with the idea of combining matrimony with
business
1t was suggested yesterday that the Com
mIssioners issue a statement in the Chinese
language to allay the fears of the almost
anic-stricken Celestials.
