Young on Chinese Restric-
ton.
NEW YORK, July 10Th = The Herald
prints an interview with John Russell
Young in San Francisco, in which he is
reported as saying 81 think the appoint
ment of an Eastern man in preference TO a
Californian for the Chinese Mission was
very wise. If Californian had obtained
the place | am confident the Chinese au-
thOrities. knowing the feeling of the State
on the subject and its instrumentality in
the passage of the restriction LAWS,
would without doubt treat such Minister
with great coolness, and might perhaps
place stumbling blocks in his way in the
performance of his Ministerial duties. At
any rate Il great deal of unpleasantness
would certainly result. This is from nv
knowledge of the Chinese character" The
Herald editorially says of the interview 1t
is obscure in some points about the Chinese
question. For example, Young
says in one passage the Chinese authorities
look almost with Indifference on the pas
sage of the prohibition laws governing i'm
migration to this country, and in another
passage he impeaches this Indifference by
they are reserving the discussion
OF theGSSue as an offset to any demands our
Government would make upon them in the
future.
INDIFFERENCE OF THE CHINESE.
The Chinese Consul said to reporter
yesterday morning that the effect of any
Chinese legislation of the United States on
the position of Americans and American
interests in China had been not worth con-
sidering in any direction: that the total
result of Chinese immigration to this coun-
rry in the last thirty five years only
to 125,000 Resident Cinnamon
regard American legislation as dictated by
political exigencieS, and not by any wide
spread objection to the Chinese themselves.
The Chinese Government is without fault
in carrying out the provisions of the Re
striction Treaty. If the United States de
sire to eflectually stop the Chinese coming
here they should negotiate to that end with
Great Britain.
sMUGGLED MoNGoLIANs,
l.. c. Hazard, of San Francisco who was
seen by some reporter said: "A fact in
Chinese immigration which is not well
known even on the Pacific Coast is that the
Restriction law, while apparently enforced,
is violated constantly in the most open
manner by the Customs. Inspectors and
other officers whose duty it is to enforce
the law and who connive at regular traffic
in Cinnamon via Mexico San Francisco
deny all knowledge of it. but it
is practiced along the Mexican frontier
The Chinese are leaving for the East in
numbers but their places are
being rapidly filled by smugglers.

Montana, Wyoming, Dakota and Idaho,
against which arizona and New Mexico
may be claimed possibly as sympathizing
with the Southern sentiment There is no
present probability that Texas will avail
herself of the right of subdividing into four
States, as provided for in the Act of anneXa-
lion. Therefore without 4 change of pol
tics, not much is expected under the pres
eDt conditions The Senate will for years
to come be likely to have a Republican ma
ority. This sectional aspect of the case is
more Objectionable than the managers
seem to suppose, and if pressed would soon
put an end to the project The Admins
ration has given no sign of favor to this
huge job, and if it acts wisely the contrivers
and the hackers will get cold comfort at
the White House With the negroes, Nor
mons and the mixed blood in New Mexico
and Arizona we have sufficient load to
carry, without adding 10 its weight by an
acquisition from Mexico.
