Minor Children of a deceased Chinese
Merchant Apply for Admis-

PORT TOWNSEND, Oct 2S.-A new
and novel question arose to-day in the
Custom-house over the admission of two
minor sons of a Chinese merchant. 1t
probably will be referred to the Treasury
Department.
Eng Go, Chinese merchant of Walla
Walla, Wash, with his two sons, sailed
from the Orient on the steamship Olym-
pia, which arrived here on Sunday. Two
days before the vessel arrived Eng Go
died and yesterday the two sons made ap-
plication for admission as minor sons of
a merchant. The law says that minor
children of resident Chinese merchants
can be admitted under the exempt class;
but, the father of these two children
died while returning, Collector Heustis
is at loss as to the status of the de-
ceased father.
