WASHINGTON, Jan. s. - President
Hayes has definitely determined to
make the Chinese question the subject
of special message to Congress. In
this message he will call attention to
the present and prospective evils of un.
limited Chinese immigration to this
country, and will recommend congress
to take such action as in its wisdom it
may deem most proper aud effective
to restrict and regulate the immigra-
tion of Mongolians. The President has
not yet decided whether he will suggest
any particular manner for the attain
ment of these objects, but at present it
seems probable that he will confine
himself to forcible presentation of
the necessity for action and leave to the
two houses of Congress the task of de.
vising a proper remedy. 1t is also
quite probable he will direct the State
Department to notify the Chinese gov
erDment through the usual diplomatic
channels that some action on its part to
restrict the immigration of is subjects
to this country is likewise considered
desirable, but nothing positive in regard
to making such an invitation has yet
been determined. The President ex.
poets to have the message ready for
transmission to Congress soon after its
Resembling.
