exU United States mi mister to China, arrived here
yesterday on the steamer Oceanica from Yoko-

Chinese restriction act: 1T merely offends
Chinas pride, government opposed to the
emigration of their subjects In diplomacy, the
fact that America had Disseminated against
China often has Teen used as foil when
America seeks any advantage in China, or when
treaty of revision has been suggested. The
Chinese emigrate from Hong Kong. an English
port, not from a Chinese city. The British
Governor Of Hongkong could enforce the United
States restriction treaty if he were required to
do so by his government The Chinese govern
ment have done all in their power to prevent
immigration of Chinese to the United States,
but there no restrictions to their going from
Hong Kong. To completely carry out the re-
striction act, the Unitod States should negotiate
a treaty with England by which coolies from
Hong Kong would be prohibited from sailing to
this country"
