 NEW YORK, May IA The Rev. Dr. J. s. Baldwin, for twenty-two years a Methodist missionary in China, and for nearly e quarter of a century secretary of the mis- sionsry board of the Methodist Episcopal church, which has large moneyed interests in China, said to-day, that he had positive information from dIgnitaries of the Chinese government and from his own Chinese missionaries that, if the Chinese exclusion act is carried into effect, and Chinese are shipped from this country to China, de. parted simply because they are here with out having taken out certificates, Ameri- cans in China will likewise be deported from that country to the United States. elf the law is declared constitutional by the supreme court," he said, 'I anticipate that there will be a speedy exodus both of missionaries and merchants from China in retaliation for our sending home Chinese from the United States. Several years ago this course was urged upon the Chinese government by one of the eensors. who was supported in his memorial by 8 num- Der of prominent officials.

The Chinese government replied that the treaty with the United otates WAS no IonSer III existence, naVlng been so repeatedly violated by the United States that no claim could be set up to its observance on the part of China, and no rights could be, claimed under 1t. This is the most perilous time in the relation of China to the United States that has yet been en- countered. The Chinese are a forbearing quietly endured a series of oppressive en- actments against its people here, content ing itself with continued and earnest re- monstrances, by its ministers at Washing ton.
 "These iremonstrances have been un- needed, and the last enactment exceeds all others in its severity in dealing with the Chinese.
