Chinese RESIDENTS
Want THEIR MONEY

A poster signed by Lin Chin Chow,
Lee Din Sing and Poon Kwai Lung
was generally circulated about the
streets of Chinatown yesterday asking
all Chinese to meet with these three
men for the purpose Of afflXing their
names to a petition for presentation to
the new Foreign Office of the Chinese
Empire. The petition will ask for dip
lomatic action to secure aid for the
sufferers who are greatly in need Of
the money and who, 1t is believed. will
have certificates of the findings of the
first claim court.
The poster referred to runs as fol-
lows:
Notice is hereby given, that, where
as the Board of Health in taking ac-
ton to suppress the bubonlc plague
started fires which led to the destruc-
ton of a great deal Of the property OF
certain Chinese, which is now a mat
ter of more than two years; and as
there was formed a court OF claims, to
which all claims have been submitted,
yet although our consul has communi-
Gated with the government Of the Ter
ritory and the Minister OF China at
Washington has made representations
to the Secretary of State, we have not
received any definite information as to
when these claims will be paid.
mot wishing that the people should
wait for a long time, certain persons
have met together and decided that II
would be wise to petition the Foreign
Office of the Chinese Governmental set
Office of the Chinese Government, set.
ting forth the facts OF the case, and
showing the sufferings Of the people,
Also 1t is proposed to petition the home
government, asking that 1t use its in
fiuence with the United States Minister
at Picking, either to deduct the sum
which Is due for the fire claim losses
out of the total Of the indemnity which
is due fSom China to the United States
or to use his influence to see that there
is speedy settlement made, and fur
ther to memorable our minister al
Washington to press for payment a
an ea/y time.
I'VE therefore have decided to mSe
at the See Yup Society rooms, on Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday, the 4th

petition. Those who wish to sign will
please call at the rooms at the tim,
