They have determined to work ghrough members now in China to oust the Empress and place the young and de- posed Emperor, little Quong Suey, on the throne. The Emperor can be easily influenced, if this transpires, by the or- ganization, which will then use him as a figurehead and a tool, while Yip Yin, the head of the association, who is in Vancouver, B.

Vigilance of Association Unearths Scheme to Stuff Barbary Coast Precincts The Merchants’ Association of San Francisco, in its com= mendable work to promote the purity of elections by exposing false registration, repeating and ballot-box stuffing, has placed im- portant information in the hands of the Election Commissioners and Registrar of Voters. The association has given to the Commis- sioners and the Registrar lists of men who are improperly regis- tered. The names of the falsely registered are noted and the places of alleged residence are designated. A list of Chinese registered from the Chinatown precincts is embodied in the elaborate communication to the board. It is shown that 135 Chinamen registered this year. Hitherto the average number was about 23. It is presumed that the Election Commissioners and the Reg- istrar of Voters will promptly act on the suggestion of the Mer- chants’ Asscciation and cause a thorough investigation to be made, to the end that all false registration may be canceled at once. Hon. George P. Adams, Registrar of Voters of the City and County of San_Francisco: Dear Sir—We are credibly informed that there have been certain people registered from four lodging-houses in this city who do not reside there and who are, therefore, improperly on the great register as qualified voters and whose names should therefore be canceled therefrom. There were ten men registered from a certain lodging-house at 54 Sacra- mento street of whom only two resided there. There' were twenty-three men registered as residing at 641 Commercial street, whereas only ten resided there. There were twenty-six men registered from 631 whereas only fifteen resided there. There were seventy-two men registered whereas only fifty-six resided there. The lists of men who are improperly registered because they do not re- side at these various lodging-houses are appended to this letter. Our in- formation comes from the keepers of these lodging-houses. Wd would, there- fore, request you to cite all of those persons whose names appear in these lists appended to this letter to appear before the Board of Election Commis~ sioners to show cause why you should not cancel their respective names from thé great register in accordance with the usual practice iu such casés. We would also call your attention to the fact that this year there are one hundred and thirty-five Chinese registered from the Chinatown pre- cincts and that heretofore the average number of Chinese registered from these precincts has been about twenty-five. We are credibly informed of one instance where a Chinese twenty-nine years of age was permitted to be registered, though he could not read the comstitution in the English lan- guage without prompting and to whom the word “voted” proved an insur- mountable stumbling block. ‘We also append to this letter a list of the Chinese who are registered from the Chinatown precincts and would request that you summon them before you and question such of them as are under thirty-one years of age upon their ability to read the constitution in the English language and write their names. If one Chinese be illegally registered who is unable to write his name or read the constitution in English, it is probable that there have been many more illegally admitted to registration. A duplicate of this letter has been sent to the Board of Election Com- missioners. Yours respectfully, THE MERCHANTS" ASSOCIATION OF SAN FRANCISCO. ANDREW M. DAVIS, Vice President. L. M.
