GEN. YO How's LETTER.



SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.-Consul Gen
eral Ho Vow. representing the imperial
government of China in this city. has sent
to the Chamber of Commerce communi-
cation expressive Of regret at the outbreak
in China, which has broken the cordial re-
lations existing between the two peoples.
He said the trouble was especially unfortu-
nate, coming at a time when the future
was big with promises for an immense busi-
ness between the coast and China, and
added: But in the turmoil II is comfort
ing to know that the imperial government
has at ali times been earnest in its desire
to suppress the assailants, and has shown
utterly sympathy with the mobs, Its
views and its purposes, and viii undoubt-
eddy, when order is again restored, punish
the offenders with the severity which is
their due.
"Tae government of China. as much as it
may be misrepresented in the West, Is IA
vorable to progress, and it is DESTROYS or
extending through the empire the light or
the Western knowledge. and adopting and
applying to the industrial and strategicai
advantages of the country those marvellous
benefits which Western thought has wrest-
ed from nature and brought under the
control of man.
THAT this development must go on, that
neither Boxers revolt. mob violence. nor
opposition by high misguided officials
can swerve or crush IL down, is truth
recognized on an instants reflection"
After speaking of the coming Importance
of China i'm the business world, and declar-
ing that the United States is the Nation
whose people are endowed with ability to
reap the benefits of China's trade, the con-
sui general says: "And as our government
and the influences which attend IL are, and
will hereafter be, alert to suppress anti
Caucasian bias, so must you here resist,
discountenance and denounce all anti-Non-
golian perjudice and feeling in order that
amity and comfy may prevail, which is a
condition absolutely necessary to precede
and abide with any volume of trade be-
tween people whatever"
