DO Insist that those who do not belong to
the coolie class shall hereafter be treated
precisely as corresponding classes of other
nations are treated upon entering the
United States.
His Plan of Restriction.
MY plan of restriction is simple" ex-
planned Mr.. WI. Define those who are
laborers within the meaning of the term
and restrict them alone. All who are not
thus defined or restricted should be free to
come and go, provided they pass the regula-
lions of the general immigration law. The
registration law should be abolished, SO that
those Chinese who are In the country may
not be hunted. Swallowed and under con-
slant surveillance. The exclusion law was
effectively enforced from 1882 until 1892
when the registration law was not in ex-
istence
Chinese students consider the ITnited
States al the most up-to-date country in the
world for the study of applied sciences and
arts, ana the country where they can get
the best practical educa ton There are
today great number of these students who
would come to the United States If they did
not have to go through all the huniIia-
1oI ana ihdlsnitles which await them here
ha1her than submit to such treatment they
are gong TO other countries to pursue their
studies. In hindering the coming OF the
STUDENTS to this country the United States Is
aolnS herself a great injustice. She is deny.
Ing herself the goodwill of the future I'll
ers OF China. The students of TODAY are the
rulers OF tomorrow. The destiny Of tbe f,.
lure OF China Is in the hands of the stu
Preparing for the Future.
rive years ago there were only four
Chinese students in Japan; today there
are S'ooo official and several thousand nm
ornclai students there, and the number is
steadily increasing. There are about a
thousand Chinese students scattered over
europe today. By the number OF Chinese
students who are studying abroad uya can
see that the future of the old an,nfre is
exceedingly bright. New ideas new ambI
uohs' new impulses and new strength have
.I I nod upon China. and now she has
almost freed herself from the o,S restrain
Ing conditions and has started on - nam
career or progress and power
IN the next ten years. concluded Mr..
Ns room Chew, Il expect to see wonders
IN CHINA in the form Of material sdvanca
ment which will startle the whole uro,Id
as Japan has recently done. China In the
future Will not be unmindful of the need
6t a strong army to command respect to
her rights by other nations With this end
in view she Is industriousJv traintna eu
army or more than a million men to be
equipped with modern arms accouter-
hehts, etc The national spirit of the Chi
nese is awakened, and in any oues+ion Of
protecting the nation this spirit will here
AFTER assert itself in an unmisto kahIe man
ner The days of the imposition and bull
oozing of China are over Tor good. No
more does she intend to willingly submit
to the injustice and unenu1l treatyt,art
winch the nations of the world have hit h.
erto been forcing upon her"
Demanded by China.
Mr. Ng Poon Chew stands on the Mat
form recently adopted by the merchants of
canton, which is the most important COM
mercial city in China and has become the
headquarters Of the boycotters. They
threaten that they will not sell or hermit
10 be sold any American product or ner-
chandlse OF any kind unless our govern
ment shall make certain modification
milch they describe, in the exclusion laws
The Viceroy of Canton by an edfct for
mally proclaimed and circulated throue hout
ms jurisdiction, urged the mercantile class
not TO take any radical steps until the
congress OF the United States had an on
portunity to make these concessions. and
the boycott will not go into force until the
adjournment of the present session
The most important of the concessions
demanded by China are as follows.
me word 1aborer shall be dfstinotIy
defined according to the standard English
dictionary, and shall be limited to such per-
sons ana classes as it was originally in
tended TO designate by both governments
under the exclusion treaty of 1880 as la
borers.
All regulations and legislative meas
ures affecting the Chinese coming into the
Onlteu states should be communicated TO

should not thereafter be altered or varied
without the consent of the Chinese gov
eminent first had and obtained.

in no case should be subjected to any spe-
ciai laws and regulations other than those
made for the government of subjects of

should have the right to demand and claim,
either by action or otherwise IN any court
Of justice in the United States, such relief
and damages as the justice of the case
may require.

States en- route to other countries should
not be subjected to harsh treatment or
unnecessary hindrances, but should only be
subject to such laws and regulations as
may be made for regulating the transit of
subjects of the most favored nation through
the territories of the United States.
5.-"An Chinese residents of the United
States should no longer be required to
register, unless and until subjects of the
most favored nation be required to do so.
6-"Chinese laborers should be admitted
by the United States government into the
lands, provided that the legislature or local
authorities of such islands are willing to
