cH.Nsse coNsuL oN CHINESE rREATlEs

!, CHINESE CONSUL ON CHINESE TREATIES
Stephen w. Nickerson, imperial
Chinese consul at Boston, contributes
to the September number of the North
/, American Review valuable article on
i"Our Chinese Treaties and Legislation,
and Their Enforcement" Mr.. Nicker-
son recites the provisions Of the trea-
ties made between China and the
United States in 1874, 1853, 1868, 1880.
! 1891 and 1903. He describes also the
status of the. Chinese in the United
States arising out Of these treaties,
and he passes in review the legislative
measures enacted to make these trea-
ties effective, the regulations framed
by administrative officers and the de-
iclsions of the supreme court In cases
brought before 1t affecting Chinese.
He claims that by the Burlingame
treaty OF 1868 the United States gov
eminent virtually invited the Chinese
to come to this country; that the in
vitation may be said to have been re-
called by the treaty of 1880; that all
subsequent legislation has been in de-
rogation Of Chinese treaty rights, and
that the decisions of the supreme court
have progressed in their harsh inter-
probation Of the rights Of persons of
Chinese descent. Mr.. Nickerson re-
lates an incident illustrating the treat
ment sometimes melted out to Chinese
in the United States:
"On a Sunday evening in October,
1903, about three hundred Cinnamon
were dra gged from their homes, res
taurants, club rooms and shops, In the
city Of Boston, Massachusetts,, by po-
lice under the control of United States
Chinese inspectors under the orders of
the immigration commissioner Of the
port, arrested and imprisoned in the
federal building-and all without any
warrant at all, unless one or two war;
rants first issued can be said to have
Justified the proceeding. The next day
warrants were sworn out for the men
the officials dared to hold-about one
hundred In number. A United States
district Judge surprised the able coun-
sci who took the matter before him
on behalf of the Chinese by deciding
that the raid was lawful and that the
arrests were lawful, though without
warrants for all but possibly two Of
the arrested persons, although article
Nv Of the treaty Of 1894 was then still
in force. Let 1t be remembered that
Chinese persons were at the time en-
titled by treaty to the protection OF
the United States; and that section
1877 OF the United States revised stat
utes said that all persons within the
jurisdiction Of the United States shall
have the same right to the
full and equal benefit Of all laws and
proceedings for the security Of persons
and property, as Is enjoyed by white
citizens and shall be subject to like
punishments, pains, penalties, taxes,
licenses and executions of every kind.
