Should Pass the Order Instantly and I'm
animously.
SAN FRANCIsco, January 4th.-The Citv
Council tonight passed to print an order
introduced by Supervisor Farwell, author
of the work, Chinese at Home and
Abroad, making it misdemeanor with a
heavy penalty attached, to continue hold
ing sandlot meetings, which have done so
much to create false impression in the
East, by making it appear that the only
persons in this city opposed TO the Chinese
were sandlotters. Farwell read a letter
from Congressman Morrow, in which the
latter indicates the difficulties he has to
encounter in making the Eastern people
comprehend that the real and substantial
sentiment is anti-Chinese and that the
efforts of the people of the coast to settle
this question are neither incendiarv nor
violent. Morrow points out that it will be
a hard matter TO amend the existing Re-
striction Act unless the Pacific coast Con-
gressional delegates are able to give an
assurance that the people engaged in this
agitation will be content with legal methods
in the settlement of the Chinese question.
