In no way during the fifty years he has resided in the United States has he ever shown a desire to be incorporated into our national life. He has maintained himself during all this time as a stranger in a strange land. whose one desire is to work for the accumulation of sufficient money to carry back to China. with which to maintain himself in ease and comfort there among the people of his own race. and. dying. to have his body buried with those of his ancestors whom he worships. So.great is his anxiety to be buried in Chinese soil that they tell me every contract made with those who advance money for his passage to this country contains the agreement that in case of death his body shall be deported to his home. The same contract is made with the steamship companies when he purchases a ticket for his return home. The reason that many die returning to China is because when they feel the approach of death they invariably take passage home. knowing that should they die on the way they will be buried there.
