SCOULER TURNED BACK.
Hard Luck OF San Franciscan,
Who Could Not Pay Customs
Duties at Victoria

PORTLAND, Or. Aug. T. = w. ].
ScouIer of SIS Greenwich street, San
Francisco, passed through Portland last
evening on his way home from a Yukon
trip. That is, ne got as far as Victoria,
B. c., where he was held up by the Cana
dian customs officials, and not having the
necessary funds to pay both the customs
duties levied and his packing expenses
across the Chilkoo: Pass was obliged to
sacr flee his outfit and return home.
1T is damnable outrage" exclaimed
Mr.. Scouler, the manner in which we
Americans were treated. by not only the
customs officials at Victoria, but by the
booking agents of the Islander.
81 arrived in Seattle on July 25, having
been unable to secure through passage
from San Francisco. At Seattle l met a
party of four men from Fresno, Cal, in
the same fix as myself, but who were
about making arrange ments to sail on The
Canadian steamer Islander. Along with
them l secured a steerage passage On the
Islander, and together we started to pur-
chase our outfit. / went deeper into an
outfit than my funds should have lowed
never dreaming but what when placed
aboard the Islander the supplies were TO
go through without further expense than
the freight In fact, had but an even
$50 left when we reached Victoria. I'm
aglne my dismay therefore when l was
coolly informed by BRASS buttoned Ca
muck that 1 must pay $50 80 duty on my
outfit or l would not be allowed to pro-
ceed aboard the steamer. Ny only friends
were those of the Fresno party, and so
short were they of money that one of
their number was OBJ iged to turn back
the same as myself. While there were
but eight of the 800 passengers who had
secured passage on the Islander that were
forced to abandon the trip north, still the
unexpected demand for customs duties is
certain to have worked great hardship

WANT CONGRESS TO INTERFERE.
A Special Committee Asked
For to Investigate China
town.
An OUTRAGE ON CIVILIZATION.
Public Opinion Finally Aroused to
Such an Extent That the Govern
ment Must Take Action.

The exposures which have been made
by THE CALL during the past three weeks
of horrible cruelties among the Chinese
slave-owners In Chinatown and the open
and notorious violations OF the law and
insoent defiance Of authority by the men
engaged IN the traffic in human beings as
chattels has finally aroused public opinion
to such an extent that petition is being
circulated for signatures, which will be
sent TO President Mckinley, asking him
to EN- body some recommendation in his
coming message to Congress which will
have for its object the suppression of
slavery and the subsequent prevention of
illegal importations Of Chinese.
This petition is now being extensively
circulated among the ministers of the City
and will then be sent to all prominent
citizens and officials i'll order to give a
full expression of public opinion on this
subject As the conditions which now
obtain in Chinatown are well known to
every person IN this City and as these
conditions have long been of such nature
as to call for constant police interference
The San Francisco call., 1897-08-08

and necessitate heavy outlay of nunlcl-
pal funds to maintain peace between the
warning actions in Chinatown the gen.
eral sentiment evidently needed but
some fresh incentive to crystalline it into
something definite, and the publication Of
the burnings, II cutting with knives the
lashing the confinement in that horrible
place, the chamber OF tranquility, served
to bring the matter before the people in
such form that now determined effort
will be made to put stop to these con-
slant violations OF the law.
The petition recites these outrages
against humanity It length, and then
calls upon the President to have such an
inves tigation made as will give the people
of the whole Nation full and complete
idea of what is being done on the west
ern coast of the United States. If the
President EN- bodies the recommendations
asked for III his message. which he un-
doubtedly will, 1T Will mean that a COM
mittee from Congress will come to San
Francisco and make a careful investiga-
ton of affairs in Chinatown and at the
same time look INTO the actions of the
Federal officials, whose duty it IS to put a
stop 10 this illicit traffic. Just where the
fault lies and just what officials are to
blame Tor this constant violation OF the
law will be discovered, and such action
will be taken that there will be no further
slave dealing in California.
While the people of San Francisco have
become accustomed to the existence of
isuch slavery, ana while they are prone TO
ook upon these matters as a part and
parcel of Chinatown which is deemed a
necessary evil, the iull extent of this ter
rib.e traffic, so lar as nan bers are con-
cerned and so far as the condi ton of the
poor unfortunates is affected, has scarcely
been realized except by the noble band of
Christrian Workers whose duties take
them constantly into the dens of iniquity,
in the alleys and bvways of Chinatown
These devoted people have long urged
upon the churches of which they are
mem bers to take active measures to put a
stop to the terrible outrages which are
daily being enacted in that part of the
City.
Every street from Pacific to Sacramento
ard every alley between Dupont and Pow
ell in that district are lined with houses of
evil rspute. and In each Of these houses

City That Hundreds Of Pounds of
Yellow Meta Are Brought In.

TACOMA, WASH, Aug. IA breezy
letter just received from Mrs. Chester C.
Adams of Dawson City, who went north
last April from Winlock, this State, was
made public to-day. Writing the last of
June, she says that the miners were then
coming into Dawson City daily with all
the gold dust they could carry. 1t was
considered nothing for a man to have 100
pounds. Many were bringing that in as
the result of seven or eight months work
ing OF claims OF shares. Other men
brought to Dawson 200 to 500 pounds of
gold dust, and she makes the startling

are from four to seven slaves who are Kept
in close confinement and used in vile
ways. In addition to these there is not
family house in the whole of Chinatown,
except few of the Christianized Chinese,
where there is not one or two slaves. All
OF these human beings, ranging in age
from infancy to the gray-haired old
women who have never known day of
liberty since they were sold by their in
human parents, are held in closer bond
age than was ever known anywhere else
in any civilized community.
The most conservative estimates that
can be made of the number of slaves held
in this City to-day places it at 600, while
many who are fully conversant with the
facts put it as high as 800. Nor is it alone
in San Francisco that this traffic is being
carried on, for all over the State are the
ramificatiors of the slave-dealers' asso-
ciation, and there is not a city or town in
the whole of California where Chinese live
but there also are to be found slaves who
are held against their will and their rights
under the constitution of the United
States.
These barterers of humanity have had
immunity so long and have had so little
opposition in their vile work that they
have grown so bold that all who attempt
to thwart them In their trade are put un-
der a ban, and open threats of death are
sent 10 men who have been instrumental
in checking in some small measure their
unhoy traffic. Not content with the
financial results from their illicit traffic in

have been rescued show that there is a

and the United States, and that it has for
its object the supplying of slaves to the
keepers Of houses of evil repute.
Girls are brought to this country and

blocked Spring street sidewalk so that the
police were called upon to make them
move on. In the show window of an op-
tician, who may have had an interest in
putting peoples eyes to such severestraln
were exhibited some of the golden treas
ures of J. l. Clements, the Los Angeles

away from the Klondike $3.50, 600. In the

Mr.. Adams estimates that the steamer
then loading at Dawson would take over
$1,000 600 10 81. Michaels, whence it will
be brought out by the Portland and Ex-
ceisior on their next trips down. Mrs
Adams declares the whole truth regarding

not be because the people would not be-

Adams went to work at dressmaking. She
has more than she can do at these prices:
Plain calico Mother Hubbard dress, ST.

her $45. Her bus sband has leased part of

tomorrow night. She is loading very
slowly, having been from $3.50 A. NJ to s
P. NJ. in taking on 200 men, 200 tons of
outfits and sixty horses here. Checking
over the outfits piece by piece in ware
houses is what delays. The big San
Francisco contingent aboard the VILLAIN
cite is beginning to think it will never
get to Alaska. Captain Edwards, pilot of
the Willamette and formerly OF the Al-Ki,
says the Willamette will be able to land
at the new Skagaway dock and discharge
freight very rapidly. When he left the
passes ten days ago there was no blockade,
AMI he believes the miners will get

MORE SNOW FOR WHEAT.
The Second Fine Moistening Of the
Season.

Following a fine rain there came
another blanket of snow over Dickin-
son county last night. 1t was in
many respects the best moistening of
the season and the wheat is getting
an improvement that makes the
farmers happy. Dealers in threshers
say that so certain are many that
there will be big wheat crop next
season that orders are being received
for machinery. There is many slip
between a Kansas seed time and har-
vest but the prospect now is very
bright.
The cattlemen do not like this
weather because it is compelling ex-
ira feeding early in the season, but
thus far there is plenty of grain and
roughness for all, though the supply
is not equal to that of last winter.

the wonderful foreign demand for
