The morning call., 1893-09-10

and the Six Companies are preparing q
petition to send to President Cleveland.
The document will place the blame for
the Chinese not registering heretofore
upon the faith they gave their Caucasian
legal advisers. who assured them that the
Geary law could not stand. 1t will prom
ise allegiance in future and pray for an
extension of time in which to allow the
coolies to register. 1t will be signed by
every Mongoliau on the coast.
Jim Sing Toy, Chinese merchant who
claimed to speak knowingly on the SUBJ
iect. assured a CALL reporter yesterday
that in case the United States Government
undertook to carry out its present threat
of deportng all unregistered countrymen
of his the Imperial Government would
most assuredly adopt very stringent re-
taliation measures.
1t is possible that Jim does not speak by
the book, but he intimates that such has
been the Emperor's programme since the
Geary law first went into effect, and that
the Six Companies adopted their policy of
resistance to the Geary law only after
being assured that this programme would
be adhered to and that the native Govern
ment would sustain them in case the
United States Supreme Court upheld the
obnoxious. act.
He makes the declaration, too, though
rather in a guarded manner, that the
Chinese Minister gave the nsul-General
and the presidents of the Six Companies
in this city, during his recent stop here,
every assurance that China would not
hesitate to come to the rescue of her sub
jects in America.
Meanwhile the anti Inese feeling Is
running high here. The law-abiding ele-
meut afflicted with this intense race-hatred
is crystallizing and forming into solid
and compact body that promises to spread
its organization and its principles TO all
parts Of the State and possibly to the en- tire
coast
This is the Anti-Chinese Law and Order
League, led by such men as Denis Kear-
ney, j. Nj. Barry. Colonel G. w. Fox,
and Henry Warfeld.
For weeks past they have been holdin e
meetings ali over the city and have by
this time enrolled about 10000 members
September ii a monster anti Chinese mass
meeting and convention of the league will
be held at Metropolitan Temple for the
purpose of forming a permanent State
organization and passing suitable resolu-
tions and memorials.
Every Assembly district in the city Is

dent and secretary. its meeting place and

The convention to be held next Thurs
day will comprise two delegates from each
of the 277 precincts in the city, and every
Assembly district in the State has been
invited to send represen tatives.
These people say not only that John
should go, but that John shall go. They
claim That the laws or both the State OF
California and the United States are
stringent enough TO reduce the present
Chinese population to the minimum, pro-
vided they are vigorously enforced.
And to SEQ to it that these laws are en-
forced is the chief object of this Anti
Chinese Law and Order League. 1t Will
demand the strictest enforcement OF the
Geary law. and will not rest on its laurels
till every unregistered son of Confucius
shall have been driven from the State.
This Is the ay0wed purpose of the
league and il is not st all modest in making z
its intenis and purposes known to the
world. And the league Is already strong
