nese persons which is more comprehen-
siVe in its restrictions than any hitherto
made since the passage of the Chinese
exclusion act. This action was in ac-
cOrdance with an opinion of the Attorney
General, who holds, in effect, that the
exclusion act applies to all classes Of
Chinese persons other than those specifi-
CalIy named in the act. The only excep-
tiOns, therefore, are officials, teachers,
students, merchants or travellers for cur
iosity or pleasure 1t is estimated that
the number of persons hitherto admitted
but hereafter to be excluded will aggre-
gate several thousand year. The fol-
lowing letter of instructions, based upon
the Attorney Generals opinion, has been
sent to the Collector of Customs at San

Sir: Referring to your communication OF
the 14th ult., in relation to the appeal
from your decision rejecting the applica-
ton of Wong YOok Sun, a Chinese per-
son, seeking admission to this country as
a trader and confirming the telegram sent
by YOU on the 18th inst, you are informed
that in opinion, dated the 18th inst,
the Honorable Attorney General holds
that Chinese persons known as tradeFs
should not be allowed to land IN TINS
country even though they submit the GER
tifiCate prescribed by the act approved
July ), 1884. relating to the admission OF
Chinese. I enclose herewith, for your in
formation a copy of the opinion OF the
Attorney General and invite your par
ticular attention TO that pOfton OF II III
which he says:
eft NAV be stated cOmprehensively that
the result of the whole body of these laws
and decision thereon is to determine that
the true theory is not that all Chinese
persons may enter TINS country VINO are
not forbidden. but that only those are
entitled to enter who are expressly al
lowed"
You are therefore directed to hereafter
refuse admission TO al tnlnes5 persOiI9 r,I9
whose occupation or station does not
clearly indicate that they are members
of the exempt class of Chinese as defined
by the law. and applications for admls-
clerks. buyers. bookkeepers accountants,
managers, stOrekeepers, apprentices,
agents. cashiers, physicians, prOprletorS
Of restaurants. etc. should be rejected
by you. Respectfully yours.
