branches Of the Cree Hing were being
oFgaCiZed all over China By way of
explanation, he said that the copy Of
the paper, which he held in his hand,
was special edition printed for ciTcu-
IatiOn in the United States If the
Chinese would come to the rescue
with a contribution OF pot less than

that would free China from the grind

despot.
Pong said the meeting of the Gee
Hing in Chicago next month would
adopt heroic measures. He said the
Manchoos, or Tartars, manifested the
greatest friendship for the foreigners,
while the Chinese, who were largely
in the majority, were opposed TO them.
The foreign emigration to China, he
said, If it were allowed to continue,
meant the extinction 0 the principles
for which Ming Sin Ton diet more
than two centuries ago.
