An Important Ruling by the Secretary
of the Treasury.

The Secretary Of the Treasury today
made an important ruling. in which he
holds that Chinese consuls in foreign coun-
tries are not authorized to issue certificates
to privileged classes of Chinese entering
TINS country. In a circular issued to all
officers of the customs attention is called to
an opinion of the acting attorney general,
in which it is held that there is no author
ity in existing laws under which consular
officers of China In foreign countries may
issue to Chinese subjects of the exempt
classes the certificates prescribed by section
OF the act approved July 3. 1894. relating
TO the exclusion of Chinese" Customs Of
hcefS are instructed as follows:
Ihe practice which has heretofore OBJ
tanned of accepting such consular certifi-
Gates will be discontinued and Chinese sub
1ects OF the permitted classes coming into
the United States from China, and those
coming from other foreign countries, in
winch they are residents must produce
under the treaty of 1894, the certificates
OF the governments of such countries and
rot the certificates of consular, customs or
other subordinate officers of China
All rulings heretofore made in conflict
Win the foregoing are hereby revoked"
Inc effect of this ruling will be to pro-
hlDlt the entry into this country of the
privileged classes except upon presentation
on certihcates issued by the imperial Chin
eSe government, and in view of the fact
that the government has never issued GER
uflcates of this character it is believed
that comparatively few Chinese even of
the exempt classes, will apply hereafter for
admission
