CONSUL BARRED OUT.

The enforcement of Chinese rostrlc.

unpleasant and it may be, serious com.
piications.
Yesterday, the Chinese Consul, ac-
Companied by two yice-consuls, was re-
fused admittanco TO the dock, of which
the $ ). Gaelic was anchored Late
yesterday afternoon an Advertiser re-
porter called on NiCe-Consul Goo Kim
at his residence on upper LIliha street.
Mr. Goo Kim stated that he, the Chi
nese Consul and the yiU consul, as Is
customary when any ship arrives in
port With their oountrymen on board
went down TO the ship Gaelic yester-
day forenoon for the purpose Of inter
viewing and securing names Of Chinese
passengers, that proper consular re-
ports might be filed.
Mr. Goo Kim and friends. finding the
gate open. walked through on to the
docks and were intending 10 pass up
the gang plank to the ship, when they
were stopped by Customs officer and
a man unknown TO him Goo KIM de-
scribed as wearing a heavy beard.
when asked why or by what author
ity they stopped Chinese officials in the
discharge of their official duties. the
guards stated that they must obey or
ders, admitting no one without pass
a.. fv., 4 a.,
cd that they had been given cards by
Collector-General McStocker, which
would admit them to all ships as the
constant making out of passes was
troublesome and unnecessary in the
case OF the present gentlemen.
Then Mr. Goo Kim and friends asked
for permission TO visit on the ship a
first-class passenger. who. with his
sons, was on his way to the United
States TO assume the duties of secre.
tary OF the Chinese Legation. This
was not allowed, but the distinguished
passengers were permitted to leave the
ship and were entertained by the Chi
nese Consul.
Not satisfied with the explanation
which they had received from the of
ficials at the docks, Mr.. Goo Kim call
ed on Mr.. McStocker.
Mr.. McStoCker in a very courteous
manner, informed Mr.. Goo Kim thai
ne was unable to grant the vlce-consu
pass, before the status OF the passen'
gers was established.
Early in the afternoon, the Chinese
Consul. the yice-Consul and Mr. Goo
Kim accompanied their guest, the dis
tinguished passenger from China to Hi'
ship. At the eu'"anoH to tn docs. -
Hawaiian guard s.lprrl them, claim
ing to have orders denying them ad
mittanCe.
Mr.. Goo Kim attempted in no way t
force an entrance, but explained rha
they were not come to speak with III,
Chinese passengers. merely desiring tC
accompany their departing friend tC
his state room and there bid him 6
final aloha. Admittance was granted
only to the departing guest and his
sons.
Mr.. Goo Kim, while at the docks yes
terday says he saw a fellow country
man, the president Of the United Chi
nese Society, forcibly elected through
the gate way by the Customs guards
Mr.. Goo Kim adds that the end Is not
yet, for full and satisfactory eXplana.
tions must be given him.
Collector General McStocker, when
called upon yesterday afternoon, was
reading the papers in second habea!
corpus case. This suit touched on tn,
rights or privileges Of a number o
Chinese who came by the Gaelic. Ma
soon 4 Silliman had filed the wri
early in the day. The Chinese wer,
sent to quarantine. 1t had been tn,
intention OF Mr.. McStocker and In
spector Brown to keep aboard the shil
strictly all Chinese passengers consid
cred to come within the provisions o
the exclusion act. The Chinese wer,
taken off the Gaelic only after tn,
papers were served. The Collecto,
General will today inform the steam
ship companies that hereafter all Chin
Csc coming to this port and wlthou
their documents in the form that will
permit a landing under the laws o
the United States, will be held on tn
ships and must be carried on to Sal
Francisco and back to China. Thi
means, in effect, that the first case O
taking the Chinese into quarantine I
await a return ship was not a preca
dent.
Speaking Of the positive refusal I
permit the Chinese Consul or the Vic
Consuls communication with the Chi
nese on the ships, Mr.. McStocker mad
statement that Is entirely clear. TIL
Collector General and the Inspecto
from the Treasury Department q
Washington came TO a conclusion 4
the matter and decided to enforce thei
decision. This was simply that IN
persons whose cases We're bending q
under investigation should not be ne,
mitted to have any communicate
