SARGENT OPPOSES RELAXING
OF EXCLUSION LAWS.
Does Not Look With
Favor Upon the
Foster Bill.
Says Mexico Is Filled
With Chinese Ready
to Cross Over.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Commis-
sioner General Sargent of the Immigra
ton service was heard today by the
House committee on foreign affairs
relative to the proposed amendments
to the Chinese exclusion act The Com
missioner reviewed at length the diff
cuIties in the way of enforcing the
present law.
The greatest cause of complaint
arose, in his opinion. from the fact
that what are known as section six
certificates" which are in reality pass
ports of Chinese privileged to land in
this country. were made out In blank
by United States Consular officers in
China and were sold for considera-
tion. The remedy, he suggested, was
TO have officers in China who should
investigate the certificate issued TO
every Chinese and who should send
with the steamship in which he sailed
proper papers TO the immigration au-
thorities at the port of destination,
the means of readily Identifying the
Chinese and the certificate.
Sargent declared that today Mexico
is flooded with Chinese who are school
ing themselves for fraudulent entry
into the United States. The situation
as to Canada is very much better than
IL was several years ago, becase of an
agreement with the Canadian railroads.
Sargent also advocated an amend
ment TO the present law requiring all
Chinese in this country to be re-regis-
tered. He said the country is full of
Chinese who are here in violation of
the law. After the re-registration, he
would then send out of the country all
Chinese who did not have proper GER
tihcates.
The difficulty of enforcing the
Chinese exclusion act, Sargent said. is
because of the dishonesty of American
attorneys. The Chinese Six Companies in
San Francisco, as well as other inter-
ested parties, he said are the interests
now actively engaged in efforts to get
the law broken down by lax amend
ments.
He denied that the immigration Bu
reau was responsible for the Chinese
boycott The committee had before it
the Foster bill, but Sargent did not
agree that this was the proper remedy.

Owners of Property on Montgomery Street Complain O.
the Wretched Condition Of the Thoroughfare

Market and Powell is attracting the
attention of retail merchants, as the
time is fast approaching when the
Southern Pacific and also the foreign
railroads will be occupying their Of
fees in the Flood building This will
naturally bring to that corner great
number of people, and consequently
there is a strong demand for locations
near the Flood building.
II was learned yesterday that the
firm of Pauson Company. who are
heavily interested in the Techau Ia
vern. have leased the site of the old
Columbia Theater and there intend to
open a restaurant.
Montgomery street at present holds
the public attention, and there is much
curiosity expressed as to the Russ
House site. Harrigap, Weidenmuller &
Rosenstirn, the agents who have had
the negotiations as to leasing in hand,
decline TO make any statement about
the property. though IL has been learn
ed from a reliable source that the lease
is about contaminated and is only
awaiting the search Of title.
The lease will run for fifty years
with an option to buy within twenty
years for the sum of 100000 The
total rent for the property will be of so
great an amount that it viii make the
lease the largest on record 1t is
known that the Russ estate asked $780,
600 q year, and figuring on that basis
II would bring the lease TO $4,000. 600
for the term, and with the building,
which will be a six-stOry one, the in
vestment will be valued at s4.500.o00.
II. c. Breeder, il is understood, is at
the head Of the local syndicate which
is carrying out the deal This shows
that our moneyed citizens have strong
faith in the city, and that it is not en-
tirely necessary to go to New York
10 get capital 10 do our rebuilding, as
some agents would have il inferred.
The statement that the Southern Pa
ciic viii occupy a part of the building
seems 70 be without foundation.
TO REBUILD MILLS BUILDING
A telegram was received by one of
the local agents during the week from
the New York office of D. o. Mills that
work was TO be commenced within the
next ten days on the rehabilitation of
the Mills building. The cost will be
enormous, as il is said that there are
a great number Of improvements con-
templated. This with the new struc-
ture on the Russ House site will give
two big ONCE buildings on Montgomery
street, from California south. The
realty men are full Of confidence about
Montgomery street, and the fact that

ing demand for outside properties and
several large sales have been made
within the week in San Mateo proper
ties. 1t would appear that great
many of the purchases have been made
for solely speculative reasons. but this
does not deter from the fact that lots
in the vicinity of Burlingame find ready
purchasers.
According to Cranston, Belvel &
Dwyer, the real estate market is in a
most fiourishing condition. They report
sales to the amount of S250,000. en-
bracing properties in the burned and
also in the unburned district. The sales
include large business holdings, resi-
dences and unimproved property in
many parts of town.
One of the most interesting of these
sales is that of the southwest corner
of Twenty-third and Mission streets,
which was sold for a price in the
neighborhood of $4,000. This prop
erty was purchased by John Rosen-
fields Sons shortly before the fire for
$4,000, so that a handsome profit has
been realized The lot is s5se feet by
l25, and is well improved with stores
and flats
The firm also reports the sale of the
southeast corner of Steiner and Eddy
streets, 1875 by S7:6 feet with improve
ments, from p. Lynch Ito client for

reasonable in their prices they have
no difficulty disposing of them. The

retail merchants who deal in mems
clothing are eager to get on that
thoroughfare is considered positive
proof as to its stability.
Downtown building is going ahead at
a wonderfully rapid rate. Men who
have been for a short trip to the East
are amazed at the wonderful progress
few weeks, but the complaint is that
the condition of the downtown streets
injuries business
The men who have opened stores on
Montgomery street are loud in their
condemnation of the evil condition of
that street. 1t is badly torn up and it
is common occurrence for teams to get
into chuck holes and be tied up for
hours. The merchants say that the
Board of Public Works should take
cognizance of this and have big force
Of men set to work to put the street
in order
Since the disaster Montgomery street
has been subjected to a severe strain
from the heavy trucking that has been
done, and the result is that it is in a
state OF collapse, and is said to be in a
worse condition than any other down
town thoroughfare.
WANT LINE REBUILT
The merchants on Van Ness avenue
who have been watching the work of
the United Railroads on Polk and Lar
kin streets are greatly dissatisfied at
the tslowness OF the progress in put
ting cars in operation on those high
ways. They say that if the railroad
people displayed as much energy as
they did when they rebuilt the Suffer
street line some appreciable showing
would have been made by this time.
The retail dealers on the avenue have
been looking forward to the early COM
pletion of that road, as 1T means much
TO them. Under present conditions,
they declare, they are entirely cut off
from the Mission trade. They affirm
that people living in the Mission dis
trict do not care to run the hazard of
coming to Van Ness avenue to do their
shopping via the Fillmore street car
line. The only way to get to the ave-
nue. is by transfer on. the Fillmore
street cars and that line is crowded
from morning till night. Women who
would like TO shop on the avenue will
not board a Fillmore street car If they
can possibly avoid it, as the struggle
to get on and off is ruinous TO their
dresses With the opening of a cross
street line the congestion on Fillmore
would be relieved, and the merchants
on Van Ness would get the benefit of
the Mission patronage.

may be reduced in the readjustment,
which should correspondingly strength
en- the hand of the California man in
its deliberations.
Englebright will undoubtedly get a
place at or near the foot of the ma
jority side of one good committee. The
patronage enjoyed by Gillett will, in
the natural order of things, go to the
reelected members of the delegation,
and this. with the reparceling of the
large number of the best places in the

Gently deposed leaders, should and
probably will result in from one to

gressional payroll for Californians
strong in the faith
In the natural order of things the
big men of the House have not alone
the best patronage. but the most With
their retirement their appointees have
to take TO the political woods. New
members are not permitted to share
generously in the redistribution, all of
which is fuH of promise for the Cali
fornia delegation and their followers
who may be willing to exchange their
time and modicum of effort for places
on the payroll and in the Congressional
directory.
The patronage melon to be cut IN
in the organization of the Sixtieth
Congress will be large and luscious
For example, Babcock has virtually all
the desirable places in the House
document room. where the pay is
rather above the Congressional aver
age and the duties of a character en-
abling the appointees to spend about
twelve out of each twenty four months

factors back in the home districts
Babcock is also numerously repre-
scented in the clerks offices, on the
Capitol police department and in the

Wadsworth, Dovenor. Lacey and Nc
Cleary have each a half-dozen of the
better places. and majority of the

or more terms have each one place
worth from s10S3 per annup up.
