At the Course Recently Taken
by the United States
In Again Putting Up the Bars to
Chinese Citizens.

The NIunG Gee. "a San Francisco Chinese
Newspaper, Says the Emperor Has Sig
nified His willingness to Prohibit Re-
IatIons of Any Kind Between 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 in this city and attended by hun
dreds of the more influential Celestials
Delegates attended from many cities,
but all the doiDgs are kept profound
secret. The convention adjourned Fri
day.
These meetings have been held in
Baltimore. but the fact leaked out and
was published i'll the Baltimore papers.
Thereupon GonS HOi, the Baltimore
magnate. who is also the grand master
of the Chinese Masons. issued an edlct,
transferring the meetings to Philadel-
phia. The main subjects discussed We're
the articles published in The Mung Gee,
the Chinese weekly published IN San
Francisco by War Kee, the editor, IN
which are detailed the public meetings
which have been held in China, partlcu-
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 un-
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. The 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 go forth
prohibiting relations of any kind be-
tween China and the United States.
American capital will be driven from our
native lands, ships will not be allowed
to land in our ports and in fact we Will
erect another wall in a commercial
sense. But then there are conditions
which must be abided. 1t 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 will be I'M
derstood by all that in case the action is
taken by our government and we ac-
Guiesce in all its provisions, he who dis
regards the order TO leave the country
eliminates himself in the eyes of the all
seeing ministry, and will in case he
treads the fowery walks later in life, do
SO at the risk of losing his head. bee
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 mnst
come to Our cause ami retaliation be the
watchword on our banners"
