On the Chinese Treaty.


NEW YORK, Dec. 3l.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent, speaking of the
Trescott treaty, says: The question of Chi
nese immigration to the United States has not
probably been difficult to settle in such terms
as will leave it for us to deal with it as we
choose. Very few Chinese ever Gene to this
country direct from Chinese ports. The great
bulk Of the emigration has come from the
British port Of Hong Kong, over which the
Chinese have no jurisdiction, and an agree
nent by the Chinese government that it will
not hereafter grant passports or give permits
sion to leave China for the United States to
any Of its subjects with the exception of such
as may be coming over here for the purpose
Of study, travel or would cover the
whole ground with the Chinese who come
from British ports, such as Hong Kong or
Sydney, Or Spanish ports such as Havana or
other ports. The Chinese government can
not of course interfere with those. 1t is we'll
known that the government of China has
never encouraged the immigration of its peo-
pie to other countries, and it was understood
L oClolC IuC AuiCllCou COulhlloolOu q
for Pekln that its members would discover
when they got there that the Chinese ques
ton so-called concerned less the Chinese
than the British authorities and the American
consul at Hong Kong. 1t is now already
known that in the commercial treaty the
United States agree to forbid their citizens to
import opium and nicotine into China, or to
engage in any way in trade in those articles
under severe penalties. In return for this,
the Chinese government, it is believed, has
granted to the United States very favorable
tariff rates on imports of cotton goods and
some other manufactures, with the condition
that other nations in like manner prohibiting
TO their people the importation of opium and
nicotine into China, and the traffic in them
shall be placed on the same footing. A favor,
ter of a good deal of Importance to the man
ufacturers of the United States. The com.
merce of this country with China has rapidly
increased for some years past, and while oul
exports thither of breadstuffs has more i'm
p%ortance to California, the trade in cotton
goods and other manufactures is important tc
the whole country. A single steamship frou
San Francisco this year carried l,400 tons o.
-four to China, which scarcely as yet know:
the use Of wheat and flour, but the Chinese
