A is evinced by an editorial IN the
Chinese daily paper, Chung Sal

-Four persons will compose the party.
They are Ng PoOn Chew, the editor OF the
paper and a Presbyterian minister; Low
Choy and Low Chez, sons of a prominent
Chinese merchant and at present attend
ing school, and Brewer, a singer and In

Going Together to Lecture.
The vTao rs % w 9T GspTg States sR1t for h4S tbe 3

consequently they would not consent 10 a re-

Minister Wu and Consul General HO misfSt.r
L expe7d much LID and tongue energy or labogD
I much with pen and ink in answering their arr
/ suments the people in general and the schol-
/ ars of those cities might say These are Off
! and they are merely performing their duty in

\ can they dor? Even the best and most ex-

with this one saying We could no longer bear
/ looking upon these passing events and do
nothing
Thought Preacher the Best.
We desired some one thoroughly versed in
/ English and capable OF expressing himself TO
travel widely in the East, occurring every
chants of the different States and the people
of wealth that the exclusion act is exceedingly
| inimical to trade in order that they might
take the words Of Minister WI and Consul
General HO as statements Of fact, but it was
difficult to md such person and there was
! no fountain from which the money was TO
| come. Subsequently we thought Of the trans
!ator on our own paper, Ng room CheW, VINO
has been a preacher for many years, man
looked up to all along by Westerners. and
/ one who. because Of those qualities, had been
/ repeatedly and earnestly invited to lecture by
the people of the University of Southern Cali
fOrnia and at Stanford University and BY the
various associations at Alameda, Sacramento,
Oakland and this city, when they would in
variabIy listen with rapt attention This be-
of expenses incidental to travelling through the
different States presented us with difficulties.

to help, writing also beforehand to the people

tens of thousands of notices printed IN English

besides setting forth the dates when certain
cities would be reached In addition to this

city, but for the time being on leave of alb
sence in order to go along on the lecture tour.
AS to the American named Brewer. he has
been for some time past teaching English at
the Chinese Presbyterian Church of this city.
The Plans Proposed.
These three will go along and play and sing
| as means of enticing Americans to listen
| 1t is estimated that it will require several
| thousand dollars to cover the travelling ex-
penses and hotel fare for the four people. all
of which amount will be paid by the Ameri-
can Presbyterian church At every place they
| arrive a they viii set forth in general terms
the benefit that will come from mutual inter-
| course between the two nations using the
Boxer trouble Of the past year merely as an
| Introduction in order that the hearers may
! not be conscious of the fact that they have
come especially on account of the exclusion act.
| Later on in course of the lecture they will
say that with the vexatious Chinese exclusion s
! act i'm force the Americans are NOT dlrfsrsn+ Z
from the B0xers as the Poxers claim, ~ -
China, but a matter of fact injured China
so the exclusion act though claimed to beneat
the United States, as matter Of fact VIII
injure the United States; that should the
/ United States re-enact the exclusion act trade
can certainly not prosper; and that fuTthe~-
the benefit OF China's trade she must abolish
the exclusion act in order to satisfy US
Chinese.
