CHINESE WANT TO VOTE.
TO APPEAL TO CONGRESS FOR
RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.
Will Also Ask That Body to Repeal
the Geary Act-Mass Meeting
to Be Held at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Nov. %. Americanized
and native-born Chinese will appeal to
Congress for the right of suffrage and
ask that body to repeal the Geary anti
Chinese law passed in 1882. A public
mass meeting will be held at Central
Music Hall next Saturday and promi
nent Chinese from all over the United
States viii address the meeting. They
will declare that wrongs have been in
flicted upon them since they have been
refused the right of citizenship and
will ask the aid of the people of the
United States to help them in their
cause.
This it is said, will be the first time
that the Chinese shall have openly de-
clared themselves. They have organ
lied the Chinese Equal Rights League
of America with officers in this city.
Wong Choo Finn is President of the or
ganization. In an interview he said:
I'VE want Illinois, the place that Lin
coin, Grant and Logan called their
home, to do for the Chinese what the
North did for the negroes. Why should
we not have a voice in municipal ami
national affairs like other foreigners?
There are $4,000 Chinese in this
country who are desirous Of becoming
citizens. In 1882 an outrageous law
was passed by Congress. By that law
the rights and liberties of nearly 25O,-
600 lawful and industrious citizens
We're swept away We will now ask
Congress TO restore to us the sovereign
rights we once enjoyed, which are now
held by every other race who como
here. Those who wish to become
voters have been living in this city
from ten to forty years. Their finan
cial and social interests are all here.
and they have learned to love America
better than they did the old country.
They have acquired American habits,
which have rendered their residence in
China almost impossible The situation
has now come to a stage where we must
ask for our rights
Following the meeting at Central Mu-
sic Hall, meetings will be held over the
United States The Chinese Equal
Rights League of America is incor-
porated. Among those who will address
the meeting next Saturday are Wong
Chin Foo, Wong Ock of Massachusetts,
Sam Ping Lee of New York and Chin
10y of San Francisco.

sage had been repeated to Captain Low
ering he came to my cell and told me to
get out and walk. He gave the order,
'Yank that man out when / again re-
fused, and when I was part of the way
out of the cell door he prodded me
twice with his sword, and then stepped
past me into the cell and kicked me in
the shoulders. He stepped over me as
| lay on the floor, and gave me two
more orods in the left side. He also
gave me another order to walk, but
did not answer. Then the rope was
tied upon my feet, and was dragged
over the curbs, sidewalks and road and
up and down steps until 1 reached the
courtroom in the Adjutant's office"
When you refused to walk to the
court did anyone ask you for your rea-
sons?" was the next query of the court.
Members of the Suard asked me"
replied Hammond. ..and 1 told them
thought l ought to be tried for the first
offense before 1 was tried for the sec
ond. The first offense was that of leav-
ing my barracks at Plattsburg. n. Y,
without leave
You say you We're stabbed six times"
was asked. Were those stabs mere
pin scratches, or are you SCARED for
Iife?'
Il will bear the marks to my grave"
replied Hammond.
The attorney for the Captain express
ed desire to see the scars, and Ham
mond barred his limbs and exhibited four
marks, two on each thigh to the court
One of the others was on his right hand
and minor one is on the shoulder.
Private Snyder was called, and told
OF helping to drag the prisoner after the
procession had gone 100 yards, and as
sistance had been ordered. He said they
had been commanded to march in
double time, and that the prisoner was
covered with dust and his clothes torn
when the summary court was reached.
DO you think there was any other
way in which Hammond could have
been taken to the court?' was asked by
the Judge Advocate.
Yes" said the witness, there was
cart, and l think this could easily have
been drafted into service
Brigadier-General Wade then asked If
the witness had ever seen a prisoner
taken to court in a cart.
NO" Snyder answered, they are not
usually quite so kind as that.
He was then excused, and Lieutenant
Andrus, the prison officer, was called
His evidence was not important.
The prosecution has but one more
witness to call, Post Surgeon Llpplncott
and then the attorneys for the de1ense
will be given precedence. Captain Low
ering is expected to take the witness
stand.
