Assistant Secretary Maynard has written a let- Yer to the collector of customs at Port Townsend, ‘Washington Territory, in regard to certain ques- tions growing out of section 9 of the Chinese act of May 6, 1882, in controveisy between the collec- Vor on one side and the U. 8. attorney for that dis- trict and the special agent of the Department on the other. Judge Maynard says taut upon consul: tation with the Solicitor of tne Treasury tue fol- Jowing conclusion in regard to the questions pre- sented appears to be most consistent with ‘the interpr tation of the law: ‘vessel Driuging Chinese found not entitled to land cannot be required to revurn the same a8 to a foreign port before being allowed to Proceed on ts voyage vo other ports or places within the jurisdiction of ‘the United States, but in such cue tne collector should endorse the descriptive certificate, if any, und the steamer’s Dyers, Uist oF manifest, With a statement of his action 80 that the offiders of the customs at other ports where the steamer touches may be warned ‘against permitting such Chinese passengers to leave the vessel. No Chinese pasvengers should be permitted to come on shore unull they have been examined on board the vessel by the collector or is deputy ana found to be entitled to land and Temain in the Unit d States No objection is per- celved vo conducting such examination by artifical ght it the same can be done satisfactortiy., You ‘Will please adjust your practice accoruingly.” Shutting Out the Chinese, ‘THE BILL INTRODUCED BY SENATOR STEWART TO-DAY. A bill introduced by Senator Stewart to-day di- rects the President to inform the Chinese govern- ment that te maintenance of peace and good Order of the people of the United States requires the abrogation of the treaty stipulations between China and the United States so far ag they relate to the entry or residence in the United states of Chinese subjects, ‘The bill prohibits the entry of any Chinese into the United States, except diplomatic and consular officers (Who shall not be detained at any port at ‘which they may land), and Chinese officiais, stu- dents, merchants, ahd travelers for curiosity. Students, merchants and travelers shall only be allowed to enter at designated points, ‘and shall be required to bring with them the per~ mis.ion of thelr government to come here. ‘This permission and their personal identity shall be evidenced by a duplicate certificate made out by the representative of the United States at the port trom which they gall, One of these certin- cates shall be kept by the Chinaman and one by ‘Uhe master of the vessel on which he sails. Both certificates shall be surrendered to the collector of customs before the Chinaman fs landed and a cer- tiflcate of identification issued in their place. Dis- putes a8 to the right of Chinese to land are to be settled by the collector of customs, subject to Teview by the Secretary of tue Treasury. All Chinese now in the United States shall be re- Quired within six months to secure certificates of registration, and all Chinese found in this country after that period without certificates of fdentification or registration, shall ‘be. deported from the United Stutes to the country whence they came. All Chinese leaving the United States shall be required to surrender any certificates they may hold _ berore sailing. The Secretary of the Treasury is given authority to appoint ‘oMicers to execute the pro- visions Of this act, and also to probibit Chinese settling within @ certain (not naineu) distance of the borders of the United States. Provision 1s made for the punishment of persons found violat- ing any clause of the act, The District in Congress. LEAVES OF GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE EMPLOYES. ‘The First Controller of the Treasury has ren- dered a decision to the effect that employes of the Government Printing Office cannot get the Deneftt of the thirty days’ annual leave authorized by. until the expiration of a year, ‘that meanume the employe must have served the Year. ‘The decision contravenes the will or which was that the thirty-day leave should take the place of the fifteen days, and that all employes entitled to the latter should have the former. In order that they might get the benefit. of the ‘longer leave the appropriation to pay for Uume consumed by leave of absence Was doubled. Under the Mfteen-day law $00,000 was appro- Priated, but us soon as the thirty-day law was assed the appropriation was increased 10 $180,000. Capitol Topics. PAY OF ELECTORAL MESSENGERS. An estimate for $9,000 to pay the expenses of ‘the electoral messengers at the rate of 25 cents per mile one way for bringing the votes of the electors for President and Vice-President at the coming election to the seat of Government, was ‘sent to Cor to-day by the Acting Secretary ofthe Treasury. ‘The messenger trom Annapol. ‘Ma., will receive the smallest amount, $10.50, an the messenger from Salem, Ore., the largest, $988.
