the country protection from the Gem
efal Government; recommending that
a delegation be sent to Washington to
procure the abrogation or modifica-
ton of the treaty and the making Of a
new one of a strictly commercial char
acter, all other remedies having been
tried and falling; the recognizing OF
the rights of the Chinese now in the

be countenanced, but redress must be
sought by legal means at the hands of
the supreme law-making powers. The

and 0. N. Wosencroft. The speeches
were all of the same general tenor,
moderate in tone and deprecating all
attempts at a violent solution of the
problem, but urging united, continuous
and conservative legal action to attain
the desired end, the principal argu-
ment being directed to the necessity of
action on the part OF the treaty making
power to modify the Burlingame treaty.
MIR. W~osencraft took different grounds
and struck the key note by advocating
recourse to legal tribunals to do away
with future immigration by attacking
the system of contract by which
coolies are brought to the country in
contravention of the treaty spipnlations
and the laws of the land, which, he
claimed, was the most direct, feasible
and proper course to be pursued. The
remarks of the various speakers were
well received and elected frequent APP
plause. The street meeting vas also
addressed by a number Of speakers to
the same general effect. At about ii
o'clock the assembly quietly dispersed.
Perfect quiet reigned throughout the
city during the evening. Ample pre-
cautions had been taken to prevent any
breach of the peace but M occasion
arose for the interference of the author
tiles.
