In Again Putting Up the Bars to
Chinese Citizens.

The nIunE Gee. "A San Francisco Chinese
Newspaper, Says tho Emperor Has Sig
nihed His Willingness to Prohibit lse-
lations ofAny Kind Betreen China and
the United States.
PHILADELPHIA. Mayo "A movement
was recently begun to cause the return
of all the Chinese in the United States
to China in consequence of the exclusion
bill.
A few days ago conference of the
Chinese of Pennsylvania. Maryland and
several other neighboring states was
held III this city and attended by hun
dreds of the more Influential Celessials.
Delegates attended from many cities.
but all the doiDgs ara kept profound
secret. The convention adjourned Fri
day.
These meetings have been held in
Baltimore, bnt the fact leaked out and
was published in the Baltimore papers
Thereupon Gong Hoi. the Baltimore
nlagnate, who is also the grand master
of the Chinese Masons. issued an edict,
transferring the meetings to Philadel-
phia. The main subjects discussed were
the articles published in The Mung Gee.
Francisco by War Kee, the editor, in
which are detailed the public meetings
which have leen held if4&t1hina. particu.
lar attention being called to the one ad-
dressed by the emperor himself. The
article concludes as follows:
'.Our country has at last awakened to
the fact that its children and their pa
ternal and ancestral gods have been I'M
duly imposed upon. Why does not our
motherland DO likewise to the unbeliev-
ing American race? But the time is
coming when our rights must be re-
spected. Tho father has asserted his
Willingness to listen to the appeal of his
children and when we have all done our
duty properly the edict Will 90 forth
prohibiting relations of any kind be-
tween China and the United States.
American capitalwil be driven from our
native lands, ships Will not be allowed
to land in our ports and in fact we viii
erect another wall in a commercial
sense. But then there are conditions
which must be abided. if we ask our
home government to enforce these
restrictions, it is made impera-
tive upon every Chinese to return to
his native hearth. If anyone has not
the means, proper transportation Will
be provided for him, and it viii be I'M
derstood by all that IN case the action is
taken by our government and we ac-
quiesce in all its provisions, he who dis
regards the order to leave the country
seeing ministry. and viii in case he
treads the fiowery walks later in life, do
so at the risk of losing his head. See
that your thoughts and actions are well
weighed, have your meetings well at
tended and conducted with the utmost
secrecy, and in due time success must
come to our cause and retaliation be the
watchword ON our banners."
A monster meeting to be held in
Boston was proposed and it was sug-
gested that Tsui, minister at Washing
ton. be asked to attendi and give his
opinion on the movement in question,
but the wiser heads expressed grave
doubts of the invitation being accepted,
night, 10 Chung, one of the leading
lights, harangued the meeting for over
two hours. Gong Hoi also made an adj
dress.
