SO That They Can Creep Into This Country.

B. e. Meredith, the chief Of the Chi
number Of Chinese in the State Is
rapidly decreasing. 1.-The annual de-
partures." he said, exceed the arrivals
by at least 1000. That is to say, Il 5000
Cinnamon leave in year, only 4O00 re-
turn. "A little over twenty years ago
In San Francisco alone. To-day there
are less than that number IN the whole
State"
Mr.. Meredith estimates the Chinese
population of California at about $500,
divided as follows: San francisco.
$4,000; Los Angeles, 1000: Sacramento,
5000; Stockton, 5000, and 10000 IN small
err towns and scattered over the coun-
try. The application Of the exclusion
law is now SO stringent that 1t is ex-
ceedingly difficult for a Chinaman TO
get in fraudulently. The old tricks
have long since been exposed and the
statute gives no opening for new ones.
Since 1882 a strict record has been kept
of every departing Chinaman, and his
photograph preserved IN the customY
archives. Consequently It is almoeS
impossible for substitute to CONS
back In his place. There is more trous
BILE, however, with the so-called native
sons, for they all claim to have been
born here before 1882, when there was
no registration of Chinese.
In these disputed cases the examine
ton may be long and tedious one,
and may end by resort to that ia
vorite legal device, habeas corpus

officers fight 1t out, and meanwhile the

to have succumbed to the tedium Of the

the luck turning" in his favor, he won
some $3.50, which in Mexican money
made a rather unhandy parcel to con-
ceal from his wife and two female CO.
workers who were voyaging with him.
He succeeded in doing so, however, IN
til he got the purser to give him gold
for his silver. He might have had the
gold instead Of silver at first If he had
not been too secretive to let any one
know what he had won. Through the
purser the story got about the ship.
Such things, even for missionaries, ex-

boys who went on the China to Manila

more or less pocket cash. The three

There are men In this place who have

In one instance the term of tmprison-

On the whole the Cinnamon seem
cheerful and happy. Their meal over,
they settle themselves down to gamble.
though heaven knows most of the poor
wretches have little enough to lose.
Dominoes, exactly like those used by
the Europeans, seem to be the favorite
