the Pacific to Work in Mexico.

Vancouver, B. c., January 15-The
steamship Empress of Japan, from
Hong Kong, brought 408 Asiatic steer
age passengers, many of whom were
low caste Chinese coolies. One hun
dred and ninety-one of the men were
destined for Tampico, Mexico. 1t is
stated that they have been engaged
under contract to work on plantations
and on railway construction by men
known as Ma Kuien and Ma Luke,
both of Hong Kong, for one Ma Cop,
of Mexico. According to the state
ments of Vancouver Cinnamon, their
wages are to be sent to their families
Guien, and they are to be permitted
to return to China after two years of
work. 1t is stated that Ma Cop is
arranging to import 1900 of these
coolies from Hong Kong.
While the first consignment for
Mexico were being loaded into a spe-
clal train OF cOacheS which were lined
up along the steamer dock, some San
Francisco Chinese residents of this
city created a panic among their new
ly arrived countrymen by telling them
they had been sold into slavery and
would never be permitted to return to
the Orient. A stampede Immediately
followed and the officials were obliged
to resort to violence in order to check
the rush of the men, which was in
the direction of the water. A score of
them were knocked down with clubs
and the crowd was only stopped in time
to prevent its plunging over the docks
