The Chinese Emigration Question.
New YORK, August 27.-John Russell
Young, ex-Minister TO China, in an inter-
view yesterday, said that the emigration
question is not understood in America.
| The immigration from China comes from
one point alone. Canton is q city Of q
million people and the center of q yast
province. Most of the southern portion Of
| China, within seven hours Of Canton by
the river, is Hongkong. Hongkong ID a
British settiement-ss much under the
British flag IS is Cork or Liverpool. All
traffic in the way Of emigration TO Amer
lea comes from Hongkong, mainly
through English houses. There is no
stipulation or treaty, and there can
DO none to justify us in asking the
Chinese to prevent Cinnamon from
going from Canton to Hongkong. Once
there they are free from Chinese influence.
II the American Government wishes to
reach the emigration question it will have
to 20 to Lord Salisbury, and ask him TO
instruct his Government in Hongkong 30
there may be no emigration. The British
Governor General st Hongkong, whom
know very well, and whose guest l have
been, said he was perfectly willing If the
American Government wished to stop i'm
migration, but / had no instructions
There is nothing on record to show that
China has ever endeavored to evade the
treaty. On the contrary, she has enforced
il ever more stringently than any requesI
Of ours calls for. The Chinese do moi
care for emigration. They would stop the
whole thing tomorrow. They do not, oil
course, like the idea of other nstiouali!ies
being accepted in America and they ex'
cluded, bus that is q question Of pride OF
their part.
