in front of the door at the time of the in
quiry. 1t was claimed that Yuen Sam did
not work there and that he was not known
to the proprietors.
Accord ing 10 the informant whence
comes the reNort there are st the present
time in Chinatown not less than 100 boys,
ran ging from 3 to 10 years of age, who are
held in houses OF i'll lame for the purpose
OF being educated into the mysteries of the
various high binder societies. In addition
10 these there are boy slaves in many of
the families of the merchants, where they
are detained until they serve on. The in
debtedness of the parent or the debt is
liquidated In some other way.
According to the peculiar code of morals
which govern Chinese in their bu>iness
transactions with each other these slaves
will never dream OF obtaining their liberty
by calling in the aid of the laws of the
land, for they look upon their servitude as
a debt of honor which is rigidly regarded.
The boys who become highbinders are
held as slaves until they reach an age
when they are fully versed in all the
secrets of the work and are then freed and
utilized by the societies IN their own pecu-
liar way.
The matter will be reported 10 Secretary
Holbrook to-day and will be sifted as
thoroughly questions pertaining 10
Chinese internal affairs Usually are.

HE ESCAPED DROWNING.
Captain Maize OF the Jeane d'Arc
Rescued by "Jlm" McCracken
of the MarIposa.A

Had it not been for the bravery OF
Jim" McCracken, one OF the sail
ors or the steamer Mariposa, Cap
tain Mahe of the French bark Jeane
d Arc would surely have succeeded in
taking his own life last Monday after
noon. As it is both he and his reecuer
are confined 10 their berths under care of
physicians. Captain Maize is seriously
i'll and il will be several days tefore Nc
Cracken Is able to be bout again.
The Jeane dare arrived from Cardiff
last Saturday and on Monday Cartain
Maize went ashore to Transact some busi-
ness At the agents he secured ali the
pa pers and parcels for the crew and
started Tor the ships boat. On the
way 10 the front ne mislaid his parcels
ard missing his way brought up at Pacific
street wharf. There he mt ditated for a
time and then jumped overheard.
McCracken jumped from the rail of the
Mariposa after him and had great strug-
gle to save the Frenchman. Captain
Mahe fought like tiger 10 get away and
the sailors lower linn bs are black and blue
from coming in contact with the captain s
feet and his arms are strained from the
struggle. He finally got the captain to
the ships side and a sailor named Con-
sidine ,hrew him a rome with which both
men were haul d aboard. McCracken was
pat to bed and Captain Mahe was attended
to, after which he was sent out to has own
ship. Yesterday a boat came ashore for a
doctor and mis- report is that thu captain
vii not be ashore for some time to come.
McCracken will be about to-day and says
he would never have gone TO bed had 1t
not been for the bruises on his legs.

Little Fellows Sold in Bondage
by Their Impecunious
Parents.
MISSIONARIES ASKED TO FREE THEN.
The Matter Will Be Placed in the
Hands of the Society for the
Protection of Children.

The ladies of the Methodist Mission
House at 9t6 Washington street were re-
quested to rescue two slave boys yesier-
day. Owing 10 the fact that the slaves
were boys the mission people could do
nothing and the case will be referred TO
the Eureka Society for the Protection of
Children.
An investigation of the case developed
the fact that there are fully one hundred
Save boys in Chinatown, notwithstand-
ing the assertions of the Chinese that
there are no male slaves in this country.
1t has been no secret that there are large
mum bers Of female slaves here, but here
tofore all Cinnamon have strenuously de-
MED the existence of males in bondage in
the United States.
The TWO boys in question are aged re-
spectively 3 and years, and it is claimed
by the men who made the complaint that
they were recently brought from China by
a woman who sold them to keepers Of
houses OF ili-'ame, where they Will he
raised up amid vile surroundings and
eventually become mem bers OF high binder
societies.
One of the boys is at a house on Bart.
lett alley, between Jackson and Pacific,
anu 10 SdIu 10 nave Ueen sou IOT the SUN
OF $36l The other is in a house on the
corner Of Dupont and Pacific and brought
1891. They were brought over from China
by a woman. who took her own boys there
and left them with relatives, and then
brought these as saves in order to make
her expenses. The certificates of her
children were used for the slave boys and
it is supposed that she will send The certi-
fcates back by mail when she desires to
have her children come over.
Chin Woy and Leong Ah Sing, who are
SAID to be the owners of the boys, were
seen yesterday regarding the report. and
both denied that the boys were slaves.
Both said that the children were their
boys and said that no male slaves we're
kept anywhere in this country. From
other sources. however, it was learned that
it is customary for the highlander So
cieties to buy little boys and place the NJ
in houses of evil repute where they are
kept and trained.
1t is claimed that Yuen Sam, clerk in
store on Jackson street, drew up the
bills of sale in the cases of the two boys,
but an inquiry at the store resulted in
nothing but scare for the people there.
