JUSTICE FOR THE CHINESE.
Wu Ting Fang Asks That Some Dis
tinction be Made Between the
Treatment of Chinese
Gentleman and the
Low Caste
Coolies.
nv the Associated Press.)

Pekin. Aug. 9.-Wu Ting Fang
former Chinese minister at Washing
ton, and now vice president of the
Board of Foreign Affairs, interviewed
by the Associated Press today sald
that the existing regulations for the
exclusion of Chinese from the United
States were unsatisfactory from the
Chinese standpoint, and hence it was
desired that they should be modified
bv the new convention. The Chinese
he said, agreed to the exclusion of
coolies and this point presented no
difficulties, but the existing regula-
tions pressed with severity on other
classes.
"A superior Chinaman arriving in
San Francisco, for example SAID MI
Wu, "is detained by the authorities
while his credentials are being eX-
amined, and this detention frequently
involving contacts with lower class of
coolies is common. He is unable TO
communicate with friends, and is sub
jected to inconveniences and indigni-
ties to which Americans would refuse
to submit. Moreover, he is not al
lowed to retain the service of any one
to protect his interests, and if the i'm
migration authorities decide against
him there is no possibility of appeal
That these grievances are we'll found
eQ Is demonstrated DN llle lltCGSoltS
for President Roosevelts stringent or
der that courtesy be shown the Chi
nese by the immigration officials under
pain of dismissal"
The Chinese government, he said,
agreed to the exclusion of coolies, but
it urged as the main points of new
convention that the better classes of
Chinese be treated on an equal footing
with other aliens, with the right to
retain counsel. and the right to appeal
if necessary, and the admission of
coolies in Hawaii, which he regarded
as of the utmost Importance. Hawaii
was greatly in need of laborers, Mr.
WI said and since the Chinese were
excluded the industries of the islands
had suffered. At all events. the Chi
nese there could not compete with
American labor. The Philippines had
long been a natural field for Chinese
industry, but the application of the
exclusion act to the islands had
changed this.
Mr.. Wu expressed himself as great
ly regretting the Chinese boycott of
American goods and steamship and in
Surance companies, as it might
estrange the good will of Americans
which he highly priced.
