ACTION BY SAN FRANCISCO CHINESE
STRONG PROTEST AGAINST BOXERS AND
APPEAL TO UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT.
GOVERNMENT.

San Francisco July IS (SpeciaD.-Fully two
hundred of the most prominent Chinese mer-
chants of San Francisco met in mass meeting
this afternoon and passed strong resolutions de-
nouncing the Boxers and the outrages which
they have committed on foreigners. and pointing
out clearly the antagenisTn which the Cantonese
have for everything which is Manchu. They
also sent a cable dispatch to Ii Hung Chang
urging him to do everything possible to protect
foreigners.
Ho Vow Chinese ConsuI-GeneraI. presided
and addressed the meeting. He said he had
called the meeting mainly TO convince Eastern
people that there was no danger of any dem
onstration against the San Francisco Chinese
and also TO show that the local Chinese. who are
Cantonese, have no sympathy with the Boxer
movement. After addresses by presidents Of
several Chinese societies, the See Yup and Ming
Yang associations adopted resolutions. Here
are extracts from .he See Yup resolutions:
We declare our utter detestation of the Boxers
and all their sympathZers. and assert that the
greatest harm ever inflicted upon China has
been produced by their acts. We express the
profound hope that the reports of the deaths of
Ministers in Peking may be untrue. The open
ing up OF China cannot be too quickly done. The
country must be threaded with railroads. and
human life conserved in every way. We feel
that with the help of the West, millions of the
progressive people who have come under West
ern influences, subjects Of China. will be able
to effect this, and express the hope that
Irritation, such seizure of new
territory by foreign nations viii be effected, -
the lasting disturbance OF the peace of the
country. We commend in every respect the
wise policy pursued by the United States in
China and in reference to China. and implore
the Government of the United States TO pro-
ceed in its policy already mapped out. 10 hold
the Chinese Empire intact, to invest 1T with
strong, progressive native government, and by
force of arms, with the aid of the enlightened
native element, to insure peace and the develop
