Lack of unifonuity in ihv I-jij^HsIt spellino- of the names of Chinese ])ersi)ns has been a proHtic source of confusion to immit^Tation ot'ticers and Federal Court officials, and of injury to the Chinese ]^ersons themselves whose rights ha\-e been jeo])ardized in man\- instances because the name of the same persons hap]:)ened to be spelled in Kn^iish in different ways on the official recc:)rds. To remed\- this evil by introducino- a uniform system of Eng'lish spelling of such names, a system which will be ado])ted 1)\' the Unitd States Government has been the aim of the author of the present work. on The plan of the David Jones System is to follow as >r closely as possible the natural Eng"]ish method, dis])ensing cc o£ wdth diacritical marks which have been used heretofore to indicate the sounds of the vowels and dij^thonq's. In ^ this work will be found nearlv all the clan names repre- ss i sented by the Chinese ]ioj)ulation in the United States, and they are spelled according' to a uniform method. The bulk of the Chinamen in the United States and Canada are from a farming" section of the Ivwangtung' Province, about sixt\- to one htmdred miles southwest of Canton. They speak what is called the Sz Yi]) dialect. Most of the women and some of the merchants are from the city of Canton and immediate neig;hborhood. They speak what is called the Saani ^'u]) dialect. The names, s])elled according to both dialects, are g'iven in this work. 293028 INTRODUCTION. The earlier missionaries in Canton devised a Roman- ized system of writing Chinese, based on the alphabet of Continental Europe. Many of the vowel sounds differed materially from the sounds conveyed by the same vowels in the English language, and as each of these vowels had to represent more than one sound, diacritical marks were used to distinguish them. This system is the one used in dictionaries, and is sometimes employed by interpreters who have acquired the Chinese language by their use. When names Avritten in this system are transcribed intO' court records and other official documents, however, the diacritical marks are often omitted, and the non-use of such distinguishing signs brings about a change of pro- mmciation. When reading a Chinese name in an English record, the reader naturally gives the same phonetic value to the vowels in the Chinese name as he does to the vowels in the English. Another cause of confusion is the fact that attorneys and others who have occasion to write Chinese names give widely different forms in English to the same Chi- nese sound, according to the way they themselves pro- nounce the language. The Chinese generally give only their given names, preceded by the word "Ah," omitting the surname. The surname always comes first in Chinese, as for instance, "Chin Sin." Chin is the surname and Sin the given name. W'hen asked his name, the Chinaman would prol)a1)ly say "Ah Sin." 'idie full name should appear in all documents. The im])ortance of a miiform svstem of spelling is INTRODUCTION. readily seen in many cases. If a Chinaman should have had a certificate of residence issued to him in the name Tsam Gow, and should api)ly for a duplicate in the name Jaam Gow, which has nearl}- the same sound in English, the chances are that, hecause of the variance in spelling, his certificate would be overlooked in the Department, and a duplicate refused. Again, many Chinese mer- chants have their names misspelled in the partnership lists, and have considerable difficulty in returning to this country as merchants when the names given on their steamer tickets differ from the ones appearing on the partnership lists. In the probate of estates of Chinese, also, it is important that the name of the Chinese should appear in connection with all of his property, and in all contracts and leases spelled in only one way. In the preparation of this system the author here acknowledges the valuable assistance of Professor John E. Gardner and Mr. Carlton Rickards of the Chinese Bureau at vSan Francisco (who are experts on the Saam Yup dia- lect of Cantonese) ; also of Professor Marshall B. Wood- worth of Hastings College of the Law, United States Attorney ; also of Mr. Charles Mehan, Inspector-in-Chief of the Chinese Bureau, and of several other Federal officers. The author lived five years in the Sz Yip districts of China, as missionary, was interpreter for the Registra- tion Bureau of the Internal Revenue Department at San h^"ancisco during the Chinese registration period, and for the past eight }ears has l)een and is now official Chinese Interpreter of the United States Courts at San Francisco.

WILLMM H. c^VEI^Y, General cAgent 45 The right to return to the United States shall be ex- ercised within one year from the date of departure ; but such right to return may be extended for an additional period, not to exceed one year, in cases where, by reason of sickness or other cases of disability beyond his control, he has been unable sooner to return. These facts shall be fully reported to the Chinese Consul-General at the port of departure, and by him certified, to the satisfaction of the Connnissioner of Immigration of the port at which such laborer shall land, accompanied by a certificate and report from the United States Consular officer at the foreign jjort at which said laborer embarked for the United States. This certificate and report must state that the Consular officer has investigated the statements of said laborer, and believes that he was unavoidably de- tained for the reason stated, and must precede the certifi- cate and report of the Chinese Consul General. $i,ooo on -term deposit in a bank; $i,ooo worth of real or personal property ; debts due to the amount of $i,ooo and unsettled, and not promissory notes or other similar acknowledgment of ascertained liability, are just claims for a return certificate. Ordinary ascertained bank accounts are debts due and owing. Open and running book accounts are now con- sidered "pending settlement" and are held to be unascer- tained and unsettled, and both arc just claims for a return certificate. Chinese registered as merchants, and subsequently be- coming laborers, cannot secure a return certificate as a laborer. Chinese laborers who are visiting China may, not to exceed loo days prior to their return, file a request with the Commissioner of Immigration at the port of their departure from the United States, that his status be in- quired into. An investigation will be made, and if the status of his application remains the same as at the time of departure from the United States they will be notified and will be permitted to land immediately upon their return to the United States. 2. 1 III <^ * A *n El /L Kf A ^. ft B IP $ 85 ^ H ^ ^ ^ — a ?
