A NEW VIEW OF CHINESE EMIGaArIoN.-The
San Francisco Bulletin publishes an Interview
with General c. w. Legendre, formerly U. S.
ground. that most OF the Chinese entrants to
the United States come under contracts, made
with the emigration brokers, In evasion Of the
regulations OF the Chinese authorities for the
such immigration, which comes almost entirely
through Hong Kong, 1t Is necessary simply ID
contract the operations OF the Chinese eInigra-
ton houses therein, to which the British au-
thorities would undoubtedly be ready to lend
their aid, and that revision OF the Burlingame
treaty Is not necessarily involved In stopping
such emigration. He draws a strong picture OF
the nefalious practice Of the Chinese emigra-
ton brokers, whom he considers practically
little better than kidnappers
