the Committee Of Commerce yesterday, A.
a. Low submitted q letter from Olyphant
Il Co., of China, regarding the outrages
committed on Chinaman ut Los Angeles,
California, with extracts from certain
newspapers on the same subject. They
suggested that such outrages will tend to
render the lives and property Of all Amer.
! leans in China unsafe.
Low hoped the Chamber of Commerce
| would take action on the matter. The
| Chinese in California have been subjected
! from the first to attacts from the lower
/ classes. In that State there is antagonism
between the labor Of Chinamau aud whites,
and this letter sets forth the danger that
constantly besets the Chinese. He thought
it worthy Of action on the part of our Gov
ernment; that the character Of the nation
in its treatment of these people way be
sustained. The letter and accompanying
newspaper accounts were referred to
standing committee with instructions to
report thereon yesterday.
