Alterations Made, by the Senate Com mittee that Will Not Suit the Pacific Coast—Agitation Among the Celestials in New York. Washington, April I.—At a meeting of the Senate committee on census, the House bill providing for the furnishing of certificates to Chinese residents on the Ist of June, 1890, by the enumer ators of the census, with the view of prohibiting the further immigration of Chinese to the United States, was amended. As reported to the Senate, the bill, in addition to the provisions heretofore given, provides that Chinese children born in the United States subsequent to June 1, 1890, shall not be held to be Chinese within the meaning of the act. Another amendment makes the provi sions of the act apply only to Chinese who refuse to give the information re quired by the census enumerators, and who shall fail or refuse to obtain the certificate of identification provided for. By another amendment, Chinese mer chants are exempted from the operations of the act, provided they have certifi cates required by the act of July 5, 1884. An additional section enables a Chinese resident who fails to obtain the required certificate of identification, to prove by competent testimony that he has a right to one, which is his sole evidence of being lawfully in the United States. It is made a misdemeanor for a census enumerator to wilfully neglect or refuse to give the required certificate. In its present shape the bill is wholly unacceptable to the Pacific Coast. AFTER CITIZENSHIP. A New York Celestlnl Makes An Appeal to His Countrymen. New York, April 1. —A big poster on a bill-board, in front of 16 Mott street, contains the following in Chinese char acters : "We, the undersigned committee, re spectfully inform you that the principal cause of our continued persecution by the races who differ from us in civiliza tion and language, is the fact that we have no voting power, that power hav ing been unjustly denied us by reason of partisan legislation, through political rascality. ,This unjust legislation against us has been discovered by us recently to be unconstitutional, and it is our sin cere belief, also, that such unjust deal ings with the Chinese do not represent the true sentiments of the blue-blooded Americans. We now desire our fellow countrymen to unite with us in an effort to present our many grievances in a proper manner before the American people. This is an important move ment ; a movement that needs not only good words, but good money to back it. Let all those who wish to enter this matter with heart and money report at 9 Dover street." Wong Gong, the head of the committee which signs the document, said to a re porter: "I have been living here as an American citizen sixteen years, and lived like an alderman, too. When I went to get my full naturalization papers the other day, the officials at the court laughed at me, and told me that had I been born over again right here in New York, if my parents were Chinese, I could not become a citizen. I got mad, and have been working hard ever since to get vengeance. If all the Chinese whose rights are denied them will join me, we can obtain what we want." LABOR MATTERS.
