TWENTY ONE HUNDRED PAID

The Chinese Bureau Is supposed to be engaged in hunting for nearly two hum dred Chinese men and women who were allowed to land at this port recently for the purpose of proceeding to the ex- position at Omaha, where they were to take part as actors and exhibitors in the Chinese Village, owned by the Nee Lee Village Company. About week ago one of them, a chair-mender, was arrested in Chinatown for being illegally in the United States.
 Chinese who pretend to be well-inform- ed on the subject say that 200 of the pretended Omaha exhibitors have left that place and are now scattered all oyer the United States, principally in California. They say also that the bond given to the Secretary of the Treasury by the Nee Lee Village Company as a guarantee that they will return all the exhibitors to China will not be binding If that company should fail and the vil- lage shouti be attached by the Sheriff, as was the case with the Chinese ex- hibit at the Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1894.
 of the women have come to this city from Omaha, and are now occupants of disreputable houses here. Eight of them are said to have been located in houses occupied by the following Chinese: Kim Gu, So Hoo Vow, Chang Won Tuck, Leong Sing, Chin Woy and Wong King. It is said that they have been offered for Leong Sings house was bought by a Chinese syndicate for $2160.
