12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1898. ALL HAWA II'S CHINESE ARE ALSO ANNEXED Collector Jackson Says That He Must Admit Hordes of Coolies. There Is No Way to of Mongolian Laborers From Flood- ing Cal ion relative to the dvantages of an- During the disc advantages and di nexing Hawail to t United States The Call repeatedly pointed out the likelihood that in the event of annexa- tion the thousands of Chinese coolies in that country would be entitled to free and unrestricted immigration to California and other States of the United States. The Islands having been annexed, the problem is a new one and in a fair way for an immediate so- lution, for the first steamer-load of Chinese leaving the Sandwich Islands for California will throw upon the shoulders of Collector Jackson the re- sponsibility for the addition to the al- ready overcrowded laboring population of California of hordes of coolies. The Collector was asked yesterday what he would do should a boatload of coolies from the islands arrive here. He replied: ‘“Understanding that the Sandwich Islands are now a part of the T ed States, and that the laws of the United States, in so far as appli- cable, are in operation there, I do not see how, in the absence of instructions from Washington to the contrary, I would have the right to forbid their landing in this State. It is my opin- ion that I have no more right to ex- clude them than I would have to ex- clude Chinese coming from Arizona or Alaska. I shall have to admit them all. “The subject is one that will have to | receive the attention of the department at Washington and a construction by the Attorney General of the United | States of the laws bearing upon Chi- | e But until that time comes, iciple that being legally in one part of the country entitles them to go to another part of the country would seem to obtain as well | mitted. Stop the Thousands ifornia. in any other of our territorial posses- | | in the case of the Sandwich Islands as | | Hawali is in the same position | sions. | with reference to its government as | any one of our Territories not yet en- titled to statehood.” | The Collector was. asked whether the | fact that the Hawalian Chinese did not | possess certificates of registration as| required of all Chinese laborers in lhe; United States would not bar them from admission to the United States. | “If they were asked,” replied the Col- | lector, “whether they had certificates of | registration they would say ‘None was | required of us at the time the law went | into effect. We have complied with | all the laws in operation applicable to | us up to the present moment.” If the| government does not provide some way to stop them I don’t see that I can, under the law as it is at present.” The Collector then proceeded to speak | of the decislon of Assistant Secretary Howell to the effect that persons sub- | jects of China, and described as sales- men, clerks, buyers, bookkeepers, ac- | countants, managers, storekeepers, ap- | prentices, agents, cashiers, physicians, proprietors of restaurants, etc., shouldi be denied admission. | “The statute,” said the Collector, ‘‘provides that other than laborers may | be admitted, and the custom has been | up to the present day to admit Chinese | on certificates that they were other than laborers. But the treaty mentions | specifically the classes that may be ad- These are officials, teachers, | students. merchants, or travelers for curiosity or pleasure. Mr. Howell has ruled that only those persons shall be admitted. This decision means a loss | of hundreds of thousands of dollars an- | nually to the big steamship compantes, | for it will decrease Chinese immigra- tion very materially.” | APPREHENSIVE ; Wells-Fargo’s President‘ and the War Tax. HE FEARS LEGAL ACTIONSi MERCHANTS REQUESTED NOT TO | TAKE STEPS IN COURT. Calls Attention to Test Cases in the | East and Jollies Business Men With Soft Words. The stand taken by the Merchants’ As- | sociation in the matter of Wells, Fargo & | Co.’s Express Company, compelling its | patrons to pay the 1 cent stamp war tax | which the law says that the corporation should pay, has had some effect upon | the president of this transportation insti- tution. At the meeting of the assocla- | tion on Wednesday a number of the mem- | bers raised their voices and gave expres- | slon to complaints long and loud against | the injustice practiced by the company mentioned. They declared that they are paying their proportion of the tax that the Government requires to carry on the war, and they do not begrudge the little | 1 cent stamps that are stuck on all re-| ceipts and documents. .Some have said | that if the tax was twice as high they | would not complain, considering that the | cause s a just one. But on the other | hand if it was one-half of what it is they | would object to paying the other man's | share, ly where the other party v out of the affair and is | | conferred with the directors of the asso- | | clation with reference to the violations directly the little stamp, as has been done | in the matter of giving receipts. Notifica- tion was given that if such was required the patrons would pay the same only under protest, the shipper reserving the right to test the legality of the company's actions at any time. _Another communication was sent to United States Attorney Foote, in which | e was formally notified that the law Is being wolated by the company, and re- | questing _that he begin proceedings against the offenders. he services of the association were promised to the Fed- eral officlal, whose ignorance of the vio- | lation of the law is inferred by the fact that he has made no effort of his own volition to correct the offenders. So far it is not learned that Mr. Foote has taken | any steps in the matter or that he has of the law to which his attention has been called. However, the correspondence has had the effect of awakening President Valen- tine to the realization that something | might happen, and possibly the ‘“‘some- | thing” would be that the Government's | legal representative might be compeliad to take cognizance of the offenses com- | lained of by the angry merchants.

Valentine was at least apprehensive | fiwsh&mn“m-gt{mflcnnch;]d'n;lghsenéqnce in oW etter, whic stene: to send to the assoctation: - oorened SAN FRANCISCO, July 20, ();»;:rr;‘nms' {sscelation, Mills Bullding, City— Gent. en: am In receipt of the protest | adopted by the Merchante’ Assoctation bt San | Francisco of this date and wish to go beyond | the formality of a mere acknowledgment and | Teturn my thanks to the board of directors and members of the association for the conservative | —— (lne protest and objectlons. | cannot on this occasion announce defin: the future policy of express interests in ‘l‘;\‘lg matter, a8 that will be affected by the conclu- slons reached by the courts, to which numerous appeals have already been made, but I regret | 1o have to occupy an attitude toward the buei- mess interests of the country In general and the merchants of this city in partieular which has caused dissatisfaction and criticism.

V. Dodge; drill school of the battalion, First Battallon, F, Captain F. L. Reynolds, and the extended order The latter drill is in battle formation, and is a typical scene of mimic warfare. The men charged, rallled by squads, advanced and retreated, finally leaving the floor at double quick. The various numbers on the programme were loudly applauded, but this fairly took the house by storm. The reviewing stand was decorated with the flag of La Estrella Parlor. The flag was made entirely by hand, by Among the officers on the stand were: Brigadier General Harrison Gray Otls, Colonel Wililam Smith of Tennessee, Lieutenant Colonel Gracey Childers, Major A. P.

THEY TRIED-TO INJURE HER WOULD HAVE THROWN HER DOWNSTAIRS. Mrs. Marie Mangels, Keeper of a Confectionery Store, the Hero- ine of a Daylight Eacounter. A desperate attempt at robbery was | made shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday at | Market and Hermann streets. | Earller in the day a man scured from | Mrs. Marie Mangels, who conducts a confectionery store at the corner named. the key of an unoccupied flat above her | store. He returned the key, but did not | lock the door. He returned later with an express wagon from a second-hand furniture store at 1457 Market street and was accompanied by two companions. They went upstairs through the door that he had left open and made so much noise taking up a carpet and removing fittings as to attract the attention of Mrs. Mangels. 8he went upstairs, and no sooner did the men see her than they made a dash for the street. The leader of the two caught Mrs. Mangels by the throat, as she stood between him and lib- erty. He tried to throw her downstairs, but she caught the balustrade and saved herself. The men reached the street and at once ran down Elgin Park toward Thirteenth street. Mrs. Mangels blew a police whis- tle and cried ‘‘Stop, thief!” but to "no avall. There wers no police in the neigh- borhood, so the men escaped. The driver of the express wagon remained, but could throw no light on the identity of the men. The leader of the crowd was of medi- um height, wore a brown overcoat, white hat andvkid gloves. Detectives Wren and Gibson were de- talled on the case. Mrs. Mangels and her little daughter affirm that they can iden- tify the man wherever they see him. The affair created intense excitement in the neighborhood, attracting a great crowd. Taree Till Robbers. Arthur Mathews is behind the bars in the Seventeenth-street police station, and his two confederates will keep him com- pany if the police can find them. The trio stole a horse and buggy which they found on the San Bruno road during the afternoon, and started out to rob tills. Thelr first victim was A. Alseler, who keeps a grocery at Twenty-second and Dolores streets. Alseler has a watering trough in front of his store for the ac- commodation of passing teams. The trough was empty at the time the thieves drove up, and at the request of one of them the accommodating proprietor pro- ceeded to turn on the water. While he engaged in conversation with one of them the others went inslide and rifled the money drawer of its contents. John Riston's place at San Bruno road and Army street was the next place vis- ited, and the till was robbed. The till of Mrs. Heis' store at 3316 Twenty-second street was rifled next. Complaints were made to Lieutenant Price, and he detailed Detectives Fitz- gerald and Graham on the case. They were not long in landing Mathews be- hind the bars. —_—————————— PRIVATE POSTAL CARDS. They Have Been Authorized by a Recent Act of Congress. In accordance with an act recently passed by Congress it is now lawful to use private postal cards of any chosen design, provided they are of practically the same size and color as those author- ized by the International Postal Union. The cards must also bear these words in print on the address side: “Private mall card, authorized by act of Congress May 19, 1888.” ‘When prepared by printers or station- ers for sale they should also bear in the upper right hand corner of address side an oblong diagram with the words: “Place a l-cent stamp here,” and the lower left hand corner the words should be printed: “Thid side is exclusively for the address.” The messages on the cards may be elther written or printed and there may also appear on the message side adver- tisements, illustrations or other matter, printed efther in black or in colors. Another circular issued from headquar- ters calls the attention of Postmasters to the fact that in_cases where senders of second, third and fourth class matter ask that the matter be returned or for- warded it will be necessary for the send- ers to forward stamps for that purpose before their requests can be complied with. _————————— Committee of One Hundred Censured. At a meeting of the Thirty-first District Democratic Club last evening it was de- cided to make a strenuous opposition to the action of the Committee of One Hun- dred in appointing Joseph Gorman as one of the Committee of Eighteen to formu- late a plan for the selection of delegates to the State convention. The invitation from the Democratic Central Club requesting the attendance of the members of the Thirty-first District in the parade and reception that will be given in honor of the return of Congress- man Maguire to the city, was accepted and a committee appointed to co-operate with the various Democratic clubs in ar- ranging the necessary preliminaries. A vote of thanks was tendered J. E. Treacy for his efforts in behalf of the working classes at the last Legislature, After which the meeting was adjourned until August 4. e THE CRYSTAL SWIMMING BATHS.
