THREE COURSES ARE OPEN TO
THEM.
Writ of Error From the United States
Supreme Court, Appeal to Congress
and the Treasury.

There will be an appeal from yes
terday's decision of the supreme court
in the Chinese habeas corpus cases.
The Chinese who are interested in it
have been in consultation with their
attorneys this morning.
Three methods of procedure are
open. One is by writ of error to the
supreme court of the United States to
review the decision of the supreme
court of Hawaii The success of this
method depends on whether the su-
preme court will take jurisdiction. 1t
has jurisdiction to review the decisi-
ons of territorial courts. Whether the
supreme court of Hawaii would be
considered a territorial court in suf-
ficient sense to bring il within this
jurisdiction is question.
\ second method is by an appeal to
the secretary of the treasury.
The third method is by an appeal
to Congress.
Attorney Silliman said this morn
ing that all three methods might be
tried. However, a final determination
will be reached in time to forward the
necessary papers and petitions by the
Rio week hence. Meanwhile a peti-
tion for a rehearing before the Ha-
waiian court will be made.
There are eight more petitions for
habeas corpus pending in behalf of
Chinese refused "a landing. All are
returnable before the supreme court.
The instructions under which Col
lector General McStocker and Special
Agent Brown are acting, are explicit
and are as follows:

and having departed therefrom have
not complied with the provisions of
Act 2, etc, they cannot be allowed to
