officials at San Francisco. The girls
girls were told that the Americans
were doing their best to prevent Chin
csc girls and women from obtaining
husbands, and that if they made a mis-
take thew would be thrown into Jail: so
they must answer as directed. Thus
Kan Koo's daughter was told to pre-
Zoon Kay; that she was mar
ried at No.-Sunshine street in
April, 1898, & and that she had been
on a visit to her parents and was now
returning to her husband. The girl
was drilled over and over again until
she knew perfectly what she was to cay
and was thoroughly terrified at the
prospect of making mistake. Other
girls who have beeen trapped and dis
of the white devils to whom they will
be cast on arriving in An erica If they
make any mistake in their lesson, and
tears and bewailing have no effect.
Finally the vessel arrives ano the most
careful examination is made by the
yents of the law. The women pass
muster and are handed over to another
agent, who, is the transportation man
says, is friend of the coming hus-
band. The girl is now in the hands of
the direct agent of the society. He
takes her to q boarding house and pro-
vides her with fine clothes and en-
deavors to familiarize her with life
of ease and semi-dissipatien.
The husband is long time
in appearIng: the agent is
doing his best to find a buyer
who Is willing to invest 5000. The
girl is finally told that her husband is
going to meet her at certain place,
aud, making an elaborate toilet, she
goes forth. A few years ago all sucn
girls we're taken to what was
called the Queens Room, where they
were knocked down to the highest bid
der with little ceremony. Through
police intervention things are now car
ried on quietly; but the girl finds her
friends of her husband, as the ruse is
still kept up. Finally she is sold to a
Chinaman, who announces that he Is
her husband, and in this way the girl
Is deluded until the man places her in
some resort and she learns when too
late that she is entangled in a web
that binds her body and soul.
Hundreds of girls have been en-
trapped in this manner. Some make a
great and continued outcry and are
rescued after great difficulties by the
agents OF the various American mis-
siOnary societies who are engaged in
the work. The struggles to rescue
girls from their owners would not be
believed, perhaps, were it not for the
proof found on the pages of the court re-
cords and on the books of the Baptist
Methodist and Presbyterian missions
of California. The difficulty in stop
ping the traffic has been the complete
of the slave companies,
and when q woman is rescued she is
taken back and several per-
sons killed before the affair is settled. |
One of the most recent
cases illustrating the fact that
the parents of girls sell them comes |
from Vancouver, hotbed of Chinese
slavery. An old fellow named Quong |
had made come money In the mines In |
the early days and sent to China for
his wife. In the mean time he had |
Iormed another alliance, and when |

STEAMSHIP SUBSIDIES.
Details of the Bill Likely Soon to
Become a Law.

Become n Law.
CHICAGO. Jan. 1S.-A Record Wash
lngton special says: The steamship
subsidy bill. which is now attracting
so much attention IN congress and is
likely to become law. gives a bounty
to all vessels engaged in the foreign
trade, steam or sail, according to their
tonnage and speed, one and one-half
cents per gross ton for each hundred
nautical miles both outward and home
ward bound for the first 1900 miles,
and one cent for each 100 miles over
That distance. Steam vessels are to
receive bounties according to their ton
mage and speed Those over 1900 tons
making between fourteen and fifteen
knots, one cent per ton per 100 miles
sailed; those between fifteen and six
teen Knots, one and one-tenth cents;
those sailing sixteen knots and over,
one and two-tenths cents; vessels Of
over 5000 tons sailing between seven
teen and eighteen knots, one and four
-tenths; between eighteen and nineteen
knots, one and siX-tenths, and over
nineteen knots, one and eight-tenths;
vessels of over 5000 tons, sailing TWEEN
ty knots. are to have two cents a ton,
ana twenty-one knots and more, two
and three-tenths; vessels over 900
tons sailing more than twenty-five
knots and less than twenty three, two
and ;sSeVen-tenths cents per ton, and
over twenty three knots. three and two
tenths. All vessels accepting this
bounty are required to carry the mails
OF the United States without further
compensation.
Is is estimated that this bill, if it be-
comes a law. will encourage the con-
struction of a fleet of large vessels of
which the country will be proud, and
that the cost to the government for the
first year will be about $4,000, 900. OF
course the future increase depends
upon the number of new vessels that
are built. Last year the foreign mail
service cost the government 81, 563, 7S4,
and the estimate for the next year is
$2,154,00O. OF this sum $1,165, 765 was
paid under the subsidy law. The Ven
ezuela steamship line received sS1, 22S,
the Mexican service $3.50, 1914 the Cuban
service $73, 476, the transatlantic service
$757, 1920. and other lines $123, 569 The
Cunard company received $172,177, the
North German Lloyd $SS,029, the White
Star $53,535, the Hamburg-American
$27, 431, and the French line $31, 697
The Pacific Mail company does not re-
ce1ve a subsidy because it prefers to
accept the ordinary sea pay. which is
two cents letter. The cost Of the
trans-Pacific mail to Australia, Ha-
wall, Japan and China was $179,545.
The United States stands sixth in the
list Of nations paying subsidies to
steamships. Frances comes first and
pays s5,O3S, 525; Great Britain second,
SO, 534, AIS; Germany third, $3,127, 600,
which will be increased over a million
dollars during the next year for the
extension of the service to China and
Japan; Italy fourth, s1,S53,695, and
Spain comes close on the heels of the
United States. with 81, 044,556. Austria,
Russia, the Netherlands. the Austral-
ian colonies, British India and other
countries also pay large subsidies for
the encouragement of their mercantile
