CHINESE MERCHANTS.
No Cognizance to Be Taken Of Their
Alleged Ill-Treatment.

1t Is stated officially that there Is no in
tention of taking cognizance of the alleged
statements of Chinese officials in criticism
Of the methods of the United States respect
Ing the treatment of Chinese merchants ana
students In this country. The methods
adopted at San Francisco respecting Chi
nese are said to be the basis of the Chinese
boycott against United States goods, and,
although not indorsed by the Chinese gov
eminent the alleged statements Of the sec
rotary of the Chinese legation at Atlantic
City and of Wong Kali Kah, the commits
sioner who has just landed In this country
apparently confirm that theory.
AS to the alleged interview Of the secre-
tary of the legation 1t is said that unless 1t
can be shown that the utterances were In
writing it was useless to do anything. Usu-
ally in such cases the charge is met by
declaration that the publication was unau-
thorized. At the same time 1t Is asserted
that the complaints of the Chinese, that the
better class of their people are Ill treated
at San Francisco and elsewhere and are
compelled to herd with the coolies for sew
eral days pending their examination, are
confined to few Isolated cases, and that
the United States authorities are not always
to blame for these occurrences, as the
steamship companies have not provided sur
fcient accommodations. The docks and
other landing accommodations are under the
control OF the steamship companies. and the
neglect to provide sufficient accommoda-
lions for such Chinese as do not belong to
the coolie class. it Is said, should be charged
to the shipping companies.
