EVILS OF CHINESE
IMMIGRATION.
More Testimony Adduced Before
the Committee.
The DistiEguiihrd Visitors and Party View
the Deportation cf Mcneo'.s and Alto In
eptCt the Union Ircn Wcrki.
Before resuming their investigation yes
terdny of the evils of Chinese immigration,
the members cf the stib-conimittee of the
Joint Congressional Committee on Immi
tra'.ion and Naturalization took a trip on
tlie bay aboard the revenue cutter Hartley.
In addition to Senator Squire and Con
gressmen Lchlbnch and Stump, there were
in the paity Captain Tattle of the reveuue
marine, Mrs. Senator Squire, Mrs. General
lic-nde, Mr. Stump, nephew of the Repre
sentative from Maryland, and representa
tives of the morning papers. The party
left the Palace Hotel bright and early and
proceeded to Jackson-street Wharf, where
. the trim little revenue steamer was boardid.
To tie Mail Dock the Hartley steamed
and landed its passengers. The big steam
ship Gaelic was about to depart for the
Orieiit, aud nearly a thousand Chinese were
on the wharf, all clamoring to be registered
before returning to the land of their birth,
sonic to spi-ud the New Year at home and
ot hers to live theie fcr the remainder of
their days on the little fortunes amassed in
the Golden State. The investigators were
much Interested in the proceedings con
nected with the departure of the Chinese
for the Flowery Kingdom, particularly
those who had been remanded by the Fed
eral courts.
From the Mail Dock the Hartley pro
ceedel to the Union Iron Works, where a
pleas. int hour was spent in examining the
immense ship-building plant, the dry-docks
and foundries. Irving M. and Henry T.
Scott n;et the visitors and escorted them
through the extensive establishment. The
Congressmen and their friends walked up
the ways and went over the massive steel
ti' i-Ls of the co;-st defense vessel Monterey,
whim is being constructed at a cost of
£1,628,000.
i he members of the party also saw 800
nion at work in the shopß on various por
tious of the war-vessel and expressed them
telveg as much pleased with the judicious
manner in irtaien tlie Government money
is being expended on the site where the first
Har-suiD of tl.e Pacific Coast was con
cluded. The oommitteenien were also
pleased with the workings of the ship-yards
find were of the opinion that they are as
effectively equipped as any iv the United
States.
AN AFTERNOON SESSION.
It was nearly noon when tlie committee
returned to Jaikson-street Wliaif, mid
although tired and hungry they went at once
to tlie Appraiser's Buildine and held a ses
b.on lasting about five hours.
Clement Bennett, United States official
stcnograi her of the Federal courts, was the
liist witness railed. He said he had taken
testimony in Chinese cases for eight years.
It whs his duty to take down the pieliniin
ury btaleiuents in Chinese habeas corpus
eases, the testimony before the Conimis
sioneri and before the appellate eouits.
Before the Government had provided means
for securing testimony, before T. G. I'helps
"us Collector of the I'ort, many Chinese st
cured a landing on false evidence. Before
the Government specially employed men to
collect teslimony to combat the evidence of
applicants for admission to the country on
writs, not hall as ninny Mongols were re
manded to the Flowery Kingdom.
District Judge Huffman nnd Circuit Judge
Sawyer had done all iv their power to check
the liauduleut aiiding ol Chinese. Judge
Hoffman mv the Brat Judge to cause checks
upon the Chinese communicating with the
shore before they weie examined. In ref
eience to Mr. Uiiddell's assertion that only
6 per cei.t of remanded Chinese were
shipped back lo China, Bennett referred
the epninuuee to the books in tlie clerks'
_ <flic.es of tlie Federal courts. Chinese
habeas corpus cases are now prosecuted
with great vigor, and it is not possible to do
.. more than is lione, since the increased ap
propriation to si-cure competent testimony
in behull of the Government. Fur further
information on the subject of shipping re
manded Chinese cut of the couu'ry lienmtt
relerrrd the investigators to the records of
the United States Marshal's office. When
men, he said, were remanded < r adniit'ed to
bail the duties of the United States District
Attorney's office ceases.
THEY AI!E A GREAT DETRIMENT.
Bnrnside Cromwell, aiiPwspp.per reporter,
testified that the methods of the Chinese are
entirely different from the motlKnte of white
men. lie recounted what he lias ascertained*
concerning trials conducted by the Chinese
Six Companies. He knew of one case where
a Chinaman had been held Imprisoned many
hours (ii a claim of debt under authority
of the Six Companies and had l»-en pre
vented bom leaving the country. He had
known of from six tv eight murders in Chi
natown during the last lew years committed
on account of feuds among rival liighbiuder
societies.
In concluding the witness said it was the
general sentiment that the presence of so
many Chinese in tbis country is a great det
riment in its development and advancement.
Perpetual exclusion would allow of the em
ployn.ent of thousands of white laborers,
who had been forced to the wall by unfair
competition on the part of the Asiatic in
truders. It was the opinion of the witness
that the Japanese nre regarded as a vastly
superior nice, to the Chinese.
Stephen Clia«e Houghton, Master in
Chancery of the United States Circuit Court,
aud a Coin uiissioner, corroborated the testi
mony aiven by Commissioner Ward McAl
lister Jr. on Friday. He also said that
upon leaving this country Chinese pay cer
tain dues to the Six Companies, in order to
be in good standing if they should return.
During his administration no two men were
ever landed under the same name. In
former years the Customs officials stopped
nil Chinese f loin landing unceremoniously,
and many merchants who were otherwise
entitled to enter the country had to resort
to a writ of habeas corpus. The Chinese
are neither moral nor scrupulous, and many
applicants for landing would readily swear
to an untruth if they thought it would help
their case.
VNJVSTLY CRITICIZED.
To trip them up an ever-varying cross
examination is necessary. Now to gain a
landing the Chinese claim they are mer
chants or native-born. Since the Exclusion
Act in a majority of habeas corpus cases
the report ol the Circuit Court Commis
sioner recommending a remand lias been
seldom overruled. Mr. Iloushion declared
that the Federal courts had been unjustly
criticized by the press, and that said courts
could not act otherwise than to issue rfll
writs of habeas corpus when application is
made for them. It was at the suggestion of
the witness, claimed he, that remanded
Chinese are ordered into the custody of the
Marshal and not admitted to bail. He did
not make the suggestion sooner than three
or four months ago because he considered it
was none of bis business; but when he saw
the order of the court was being tiilleu with
iie made the. recommendation.
During the last year he had heard 225
Chinese cases and of that number 153 of the
applicants were remanded. Mr. Houghton
nlso told of the trickery on the part of cer
tain attorneys iv taking appeals to the
United Slates Supreme Court, which al
lowed the Mongol to remain in the country
at least three years, at the end of which
time they are sent back to China at the. ex
pense of the Government. This practice is
now stopped by the order requiring the
Chinese to remain iv jail while an appeal to
the highest court is pending. So for as he
knew no suits had been commenced in the
Circuit Court to collect forfeited Chinese
bail bonds.
SLITS ON FORFEITED BONDS.
James S. Mauley. Deputy Clerk of the
United States District Court and a Com
missioner, testified that suits upun bail
bonds had been commenced — not more thnn
a dozen iv the last year— iv the District
Court. Xo further action had been taken
beyond the filing of the complaint, and the
cases had never come to trial. The sureties
could not be found and consequently no
papers were served upon the bondsmen.
Uiider the new orders it would be impossi
ble for Chinese now to escape after being
remanded. In the District Court there aie
about 800 habeas corpus cases pending on
the calendar. The applicants are all out on
bail, as they are not taken into custody until
after the order of remand.
The. bail in the cases foots up $1,200,000,
and there is no doubt that the same Chinese
are sureties on a creat many different bonds.
\\ leu sureties on these bonds .".re examined
they arc asked the value of their Property.
When askid if they wero on other bonds,
they generally say "yes, one or two," but it
was the private opinion of the witness that

often discovered a collation between Chi
nese witnesses and the Celestial interpre
ters. Mr. Manli'y couid not account fur Mr.
Kuddell's statement that only 5 per cent of
reinamled Chinese are sent unck. He
thought the interpreter was mistaken.
Commissioner McAllister was recalled and
cave p. i . • . 1 1 : ■ i.a! statistics iv reference to
Chinese habeas corpus cases. Binre March,
lb'M, ho tried 405 cases, of which fifty-four
were remanded. The last 200 cases, of
which twenty-nine were remanded, were
heard from .July 29th to date, an average of
fifty a month. Several hundred cases are
pending, of which about twenty-live will
prubably be remanded. The total number
of cases tried by him Is BGBL
KEGARDING TIIKSr. BONDS.
John T. Carry, ex-United States District
Attorney for the Northern District of Cali
fornia, gave interesting testimony iv refer
ence to forfeited Chinesn bonds. He did
not give personal attention to Chinese r a>es,
as that was atteuded to by Assistant Weller.
When Special Attorney Scliell was apiMiint
ed last February lie went through the rec
ords and brought to light all the forfeited
hail bonds. In fourteen cases, to collect
bail from sureties, service was made iv only
two cases.
In seventy-five cases in the Circuit Court
and twenty-six cases in the District Court,
Carey did not commence suit to make sure
ties settle because it would have put the
Government to a useless expense of $\m in
each suit, there being no hope of recovering
anything by tie action. Iv thirty-two cases
the interpreter was to blame for accepting
insufficient or worthless bonds. This inter
preter, who is i Chinaman, was iudicted and
is now in jail awaiting trial. It was inirxn
sible to mil a single bondsman in ail the 105
cafes referred to. Mr. Carey also explained
certain recent orders by the courts in refer
ence to protecting the Governuieut from
Chinese lrtuids.
Congressman Stump, who Is the only
Democrat on the sub-e. nmiittee, has a habit
of asking puzzling questions during his
regular cross-examination of witnesses, and
Carey did not escapo the ordeal. In answer
to the Marylander's questions Carey said
that Kuilde.ll liad testified iv good faith.
The records are so mixi-cl, however, that tun
Custom-house books do not show how many
appeals were taken from orders of remand.
The witness thought that remands were
made in about 26 or ao per cent of the
habeas corpus cases tried. There had been
three prosi culions under the Exclusion Act
and one offender Is now in San Quentiu.
l'oliee Officer Glenuon testified that he
had been on detective duty iv Chinatown
for live or six years. He said the Chinese
are a very undesirable class of residents.
The highbinders committed many crimes,
including open pel jury in court. There are
twelve highbinder societies iv this city with
a membership of about i!50O. Many shoot
ings and murders on the streets are there
suits of quarrels or feuds among the mem
bers of highbinder societies. There lire
merchants who join lliese societies for fear
of being blackmailed or murdered. The re
»peotabl»«t:iiine3e merchants complain that
the highbinders try to injure aud blackmail
them.
A VOLUNTEERED STATEMENT.
F. A. Bee, Consul of China, volunteered a
statement in reference to the functions of
liis office. His first connection with the
Cninese was when he defended them as an
attorney before the Congressional Investi
gation Couiniittec here in 187 U. "1 am the
only American," he said proudly, "iv the
Chinese Consular service. The Chluese in
this city are decreasing in numbers aud in
creasing iv cleanliness. The city, however,
does not spend a dollar in improving or
cleaning streets and sewers in Chinatown,
although the merchants pay §7000 a year
lor that purpose."
As to the Six Companies, Consul Bee said
this was the only country iv the world where
such organizations exist. Then he gave an
elaborate history of the foundation of these
companies. Originally the Mongols were
divldid into six clans for protection and mer
cantile purposes. That was the origin of
the Six Coiupauics. Consul .Bee explained
tlml the Presidents of the Six Companies
would not appear before the committee be
cause they knew nothing of the Chinese
question. There are now 75,000 Chinese in
the United Stales, 5."j,000 in California and
15,010 in San Fiane.isco.
Sergeaiit-aUArins Kendo was instructed to
summon the Presidents of the Six Chinese
Companies to appear before the. investiga
tors ti -morrow and the committee adjourned
until lu:;so o'clock in thu morning of that
day.
To-day the committee nnd nttnehes will
ninke a visit to Mare Island nud inspect the
navy-yard there. There will be ouly two
members of the committee us a <iu»rum
present, as Senator Squire departed for
Washington, D. C, last night
ITEMS FROM
SEA AND SHORE.
Two More Vessels Wrecked on Hie
Noillieru Coast.
The Criws Ccmc Dewn on (he Steamer Ccoj
Bay— Trial Trip of the New Steamer
Cuicutlan-Carlton Rickardi.
By the 6tf amer Coos Bay, which arrived
yesterday morning from Little liiver and
way ports news was received of two more
coasting vesfels that liave met with disaster
during the recent ?evere.«torni. The vessels
were the 6tcamer South Coast and the
schooner Abbie, and both will piobably be
total wrecks. The greater part of the crew
of each came down on the Coos Bay, and
from them the story of the wrecks was
learned.
It appears that on Tuesday last the
steamer Coos Bay was lying ou the north
side of (he dock at Fort Bragg and the
steamer South Coast en the south side.
There was a strong wind blowing from the
southeast and a heavy swell from the south
west, and the South Coast had the worst of
it. She broke her lines from the dock, but
tlie crew stayed by her all day on Wednes
day. The gule increased in violence, and
at 3 o'clock in the afternoon the crew all left
her and went asliore.
As the night wore on the storm increased
in viileuce and the wind veered around to the
northwest. The South Coast then parted
her m< orings and went on the rocks. Her
bottom Is all stove In, but she is hard and
fast snd not liable to be batteied more, and
may possibly be helped off. The second
mate and six of the crew ciuno down on
the Coos Bay. Captain Higgins, his mate,
and the cliirf engineer remained at the scene
of the wreck.
ASHORE BOTCH OF TIIK WHARF.
Tl.c schooner Abbie went ashore south of
the wharf »l Caspar on the 3d inst. at 3:30
o'cli ck in the afternoon. During the gale
she parted her moorings anu the captaiu at
tempted to beat out to sea. He was unsuc
cessful, however, and the vessel went broad
side ou the beach, -JOO feet south of Maxim's
ways. The Abbie lies on v sandy beach
ami is not much damaged.
The South Coast was a comparatively
new steamer, having been built in this city
in 1887. Her dimensions were: Length 131,
beam ;s, depth 10:5 feet; tonnage '2Hii net.
Shu wu owned and commanded by Captain
J. L. lliggius and was insured for Siftuo.
The schooner Abbie was built at Eureka
in 187(i, and was owned by the Caspar Lum
ber Company of tins city. The vessel had
only a .small portion of her cargo ol wood
and ties on btard when she whs driven
ashore. She is insured for SWGO, and the
captaiu and chief mate are staying by her to
do what they can to save her. When it was
seen that the vessel was doomed the crew
tried to rtacu the shore by means of the
shule, but it was carried away and they held
on until the vessel struck on a sandy beach
and then walked ashore. The vessel's rudder
is gone.
NEW BTEAMEK CUSCUTLAN.
The little Sim Salvadorean war-steamer
Cuscutlan, which has been under construc
tion at the ship-yards of Hay & Wright.
Alameda, for some time, was yesterday
afternoon sent on her initial trial trip on
the bay. She started from Alain-street
Wharf at 2 o'clock, and after throe hoars'
steaming leturued to her berth. Her
machinery, which was constructed by the
l'liltini Iron Works, consists of steel boilers
and triple expansion engines. The si ced
attained on the trip was over ten knots and
her action in the water was highly satisfac
tory to her builders. Besides the represen
tatives of the builders, Henry Lund, Con
sul o' Norway and Sweden; J. Mariano
Komn, Consul of Salvador, and General
Benjamin .Molina (iiiicola. Minister Pleni
potentiary of Salvador to the United States,
int-restml passengers. The Cusciulun will
leave for La Libertad on Thursday next.
Hit dimensions are b'(i feet keel, 18 feet
beam, and depth 7% leet. Hit tonnage is
7i erong, and her co.-t nbout $i r >,U)O. Sr.e
will be employed in the revenue survico of
liiu country, and is built witli a special pur-
pose of strength and speed. She is com
manded by Captain S. Simousen.
lIAII CONTINUAL GA.J.EP.
ThesliipKrio?son, Captain Itecd, arrived
yesterday, twelve days from Departure Hay,
with a cargo of ;:<.«) tons of coal for Jolin
Kosenfeld's Sous. Captain Kerd nporta
that he bad light breezes frcm the southeast
for the lir-t two days after leaving: after
ward had continual pales from southeast to
south-southwest with heavy sea. The baiom
eterfcll to 'Jli.OO. The gales continued until
December 3d, when the vessel was in lati
tude 42° W north, longitude 12t>° 49' west.
Thence to port had pleasant weather.
The recent -storm drovs thousands of
billyharts into the bay from outside and the
sealioiLs had a rnyal feast in coiifptjuence,
and fishermen along the front made good
catches. Thr billvhart is a fnt, oily fish.
Like l'rank Murphy's gonirs it only comes
inside when a storm is blowing.
The weather was cloudy aiid foggy at
Point Lobos yesterday, and the wind li^ht.

o'clock in the afternoon, when it fell calm.
The baiiiineter road: 8 o'clock in the morn

Jso further news was received yesterday
regarding tho missing crew of the wrecked
scluiutier Ma Florence. The chief officer of
the steamer Coos Bay says that It was im
possible for a boat to live in the sea that
was prevailing.
jBP\
CARLTOx kick .vnns.
Carlton Bickards, or as he is known to
the reading public throughout the whole
length and breadth of the Pacific Coast,
"Doe" Richards, is the interpreter of Chinese
for the Custom House in this port. "Iv
writing up his biography," said Sam Kud
dell, his colleague of the Chinese Bureau,
"say that he is an exemplary citizen, a truo
friend, a firm teetotaler, a fond husband and
father, n faithful worker and only takes a
holiday once a year, when he and 1 anil
Varney Uaskill go to a Sunday-school
picnic."
" Doc," or as the Chinese call him
"Bock Wr," was born in Portland, Oregon,
in 18t>4. Iv 1874 he came to this city with
his parents and attended the Fourth-street
Primary and afterward the Lincoln Gram
mar School. When sixteen years of age, he
left school and cnierfd the insurance busi
ness as a bioker. When thirteen years of
nge "Doc" commenced to 9tudy Chinese un
der Ching Hinn Fop, President of the Sam
Yup Company, w ho was formerly a college
professor in China, and in 18H4 he was ap
pointed by Collector Sears Interpreter of
Chinese of the Custom House, which posi
tion lie still holds.
In 1887 ho whs again appointed to the
sarce position under Civil Service rules as
Inspector to carry out the provisions of the
Exclusion Act. ltickards has not an enemy
in the Custom House or 011 the front; and
he lias one peculiarity, that when he meets
a friend he asks attrr bis health in a way
that carries the conviction that he lias been
thinking all day and kept awake nights,
wondering how that particular friend Is
getting along.
