that the recent publication in the

give his views on the Chinese
question. gives II very imperfect
description of the tenor of his re-
marks during the private conversa-

opinion of his own and though he
informed his interloeutor that the
California employers of Chinese
spoke we'll of them, he did not
intimate that the opposition to
Chinese immigration was confined
to politicians or the lower classes OF
the community. He says that he
thinks some of the arguments
against the Chinese are not very
strong, but he 10 by no means will
