DOMESTIC NEWS.
Chinese Minister and Commissioner
MongOiian Immigration.
Especial to the REcoRD-UNIoN.J
WASHINGTON, May 2d-Minister Angel
writes to Commissioner John f. Swift that
his Michigan engagements will not permit of
his coming to Washington before the middle |
of May. He has therefore invited Mr..
Swift to make him visit at Ann Arbor, for
the purpose of exchanging views as to their
prospective work together, and Swift will do
so en- route for California, leaving Washing
ton probably next Tuesday, and arriving at
San Francisco about the 20th instant. Min
lister Angel and Commissioner Trescott ex-
pect to reach San Francisco together between
the 1st and 9TH of June. Mr.. Swift has had
several long talks with the Secretary of State
during the past week; He finds that the va
rious aspects of the Chinese question as they
present themselves to the people of
the Pacific coast have been subjects
of careful consideration on the part
of Secretary Evarts, and that the
equity of the claims of our people for relief,
and the duty of the Federal Government to
give the question proper treatment, are un-
hesitatingly acknowledged. The Secretary,
while taking the ground that all the interests
of the country should be considered in the
proposed negotiations, does not anticipate
that there will be any serious obstacles in OBJ
tanning for the pre-eminently important topic
of Chinese immigration disposition by the
Chinese Government compatible with the
Just interests of the Pacific coast Mr. Swift
has also found the attitude and temper of
Secretary Evarts, in laying out the proposed
action of the Commission, acutely observant
of the serious present and prospective effects
of unrestricted Mongolian immigration upon
the social industries and other public in
terests of the people of California as under
stood by themselves, and he (Swift) has no
doubt that when the instructions are pre-
pared they will be such as will be entirely
satisfactory to the best opinion of the Judi
cious people of the Pacific coast, and that if
a satisfactory treaty is not made the fault
will be with the Chinese Government and
not with ours. 1t may be safely predicted,
from what is already intimated in offici i
quarters, that the instructions will clearly
and explicitly express the desire and purpose
of our Government to obtain such medifica-
tion of the Burlingame treaty as will prevent |
the immigration or importation of Cinnamon
to this country merely as laborers. The |
comparatively very small numbers of the |
better classes who may desire to come to the |
United States for purposes of trade, educa-
ton, curiosity or commerce, are not consid- |
erded inimical to our institutions, but the
Mongolian coolie class is to be excluded by
all the barriers that diplomacy can secure.
