were rushed through the British terri
tory without having the advantage Of
the 80 day clause. This arrangement,
however, did not hold with certain
smaller railroads which carried pas
sengers to Newfoundland. The United
States Chinese inspectors have ne
gotiated an arrangement within the
last few weeks under which Chinese
supposed to be on their way to the
United States must be bonded.
There are now said to be hundreds
Of Chinese In Newfoundland who have
for months been waiting their chance
to attain their ultimate goal, the
United States.

Many Cross Border
Disguised as Nuns.

Some OF the Chinese under the d.
rection of shrewd agents have even
passed over both the Canadian and
Rio Grande borders CARRIED as nuns.
Most OF them are born imitators, and
once they have seen their instructor
In familiar poses they follow his d.
rections TO the letter.
Little is heard these days OF the
spectacular methods of running the
blockade which were once employed
by eager Chinese and have dropped In
to disuse. Chinese no longer have
themselves packed up In boxes or
chests and sent by express; neither
do they go in vans, which are likely to
be suddenly tipped into rivers. There
are seldom wild chases across the
snow from Canada to the United
States, with Accomplishments OF bay
ing hounds and barking revolvers.
Such methods are irregular and unre-
liable and they have been supplanted
by those which are esteemed as more
buslnessllke.
Chinese are not welcomed In Can
ada any more than they are here and
head tax of $500 each Is placed up
on them. 1t Is regarded as, In fact,
prohibltive. Until three months ago,
when a law was passed assessing
them at $500 head, no such tax was
exacted in Newfoundland.
Chinese could be carried In bond
from Vancouver without having to
pay the impost demanded Of them In
the Dominion, and the result has been
that many of them ayailed themselves
of those conditions. 1t was until
quite recently the custom to permit

to that privilege under the law. The

however, is the best means by which
the average Chinaman may find life
smooth and profitable.

the large farms. They are disguised
as immigrants OF other nationalities.
Many OF them have essayed the roles
OF Italians. after incasing themselves
in corduroy Jackets and trousers and
tying gayly colored silken handker-
chiefs about their necks.
II is along the Rio Grande border,
however. that the smuggling OF dis
guised Chinese Is conducted with con-
summate finesse. The scheme in
use there, II followed by really cap
able Chinaman, are usually effective.
Hundreds of the more Intelligent are
landed In Havana and at Mexican
ports. whence they can make their
way to this country.
Chinese immigration Is welcomed in
Mexico. There Is a tradition pre-
served In the old histories OF the Ce-
lestial empire that centuries ago
trading junks from China landed on
the western coast Of Mexico and
opened up commercial relations with
the subjects OF Montezuma. The chi
nese often have In mind this ancient
relation when they go TO the country
over which rules President Diaz. The
Chiese learn Spanish, adopt the Mex
lean dress and manners, learn to wear
a sombrero with grace and often, az
ter waiting for two years to perfect
themselves in being imitation Mexi-
cans, they bodily cross the southern
border and make their way to the
nearest Chinatown.

Officers Fooled by
Ingenious Makeup.

Although smuggling them across
the Canadian border Is now almost
stopped, some of the most ingenious
schemes are employed with success.
1t Is popular fallacy that all Chinese
look alike and that no matter how
they are arrayed they will betray at
glance their oriental origin. There
are white men in Vancouver, b. c.,
who do not accept that theory, for
by shrewd manipulation they are able
to convert the most thoroughgolng
Chinese into an American or Canadian
farmer.
A coarse shirt, pair of blue over
alls and straw hat will work won
ders m the hands of an expert. Par
ties of Chinese going across the Do
mlnion in bond not infrequently leave
the trains 40 or so miles before reach
ing the boundaries of the United
States. Here they are taken In hand
by one who understands something of
theatrical makeup and converted into
tramps, farmers or whatever he thinks
would be best suited to their talents.
After that 1t is walk to the border,
and in many cases 1t is possible for
the coolies to gain their destination.
Once within the borders of this coun-
try they usually prowl 40 or so miles
farther before they think it safe to
board train and proceed In more
conventional manner.

Remember that if you should vote straight party ticket that the cross under the party emblem will not be counted for or against the statehood proposition. To register your vote on the measure you must also place your cross in the square preceding "yes" or "no".
