cannot enter the United States: Bankers,
lawyers, journalists, priests and the clergy,
brokers and travelling commercial agents.
Nothing was farther than this from the
thought of the original negotiators.
"In fact the laws on the subject seem
to be in such a state of hopeless confusion
that different attorneys general have rend-
cred conflicting opinions to the mean
ing of certain vital requirements, with the
result that the regulations. which should
be intended merely to carry into erect the
provisions Of the laws. impose conditions
additional to the laws and unwarranted re-
quirements which have the force of legal
enactmentS.
In consequence Chinese subjects have
been made to suffer great hardshlDs IN

and after being admitted, they have
been incessantly harassed by immigration
agents. Any new settlement of the eNclu-
sion question, therefore, in order to satisfy
the Chinese government, and to be In ac-
ccrd with the dignity and sense OF justice
of this great American republic, must nave
regard to the unsatisfactory manner III
which the laws and regulations relating TO
Chinese immigration. made in pursuance
of treaty stipulations. have been admins
tered, and should correct the abuses that
have gradually sprung up. which the pres
ept state of affairs makes intolerable.
What China asks is only fair play ana
due consideration, and she can well rely on
the justice of the American people and on
the wisdom of their lawmakers, headed by
their illustrious President, who is the
champion Of peace, of humanity, of just
dealings. to bring this important question
to a successful settlement, and remove the
only serious obstacle to the freer develop
ment of our commercial relations
In conclusion, Sir Chentung referred TO
the "lamentable events of the murder or
several American missionaries, saying that
under imperial edicts foreign missionaries
were lawfully in China, and that the cause
of the mob violence had not yet been dell-
nitely ascertained, but prompt punishment
would be inflicted upon the murderers ana
full indemnity made for the injuries ana
losses sustained.
Let us hope he said that better
day IS coming for our respective peoples,
and that the civilization and humanity Oh
both nations will prevail over barbarlsm

Does Not Think Troops Needed.

ALBANY. November 11.-Referring TO the
ordering out OF troops to guard the ballots,
the governor says:
Ample provision is made IN the election
law for a recanvass, through the machinery
of local courts of the vote cast in any cleo
ton district In the state This is purely
a judicial proceeding. 1t does not appear to
me that a condition of insurrection, inva-
sion, tumult, riot or breach of the peace
exists in the city of New York, which is a
condition which must precede the active
interference by the governor with the local
authorities In the administration of law in
the various localities of the state: espe-
cialIy in view of the fact that section 50
of the military code makes ample provi-
sion, in case OF any breach OF the peace or
resistance to process of this state, or immi-
nent danger thereof, for a justice of the
supreme court or other local judicial au-
thority to call for aid upon the commando
ing officer of the national guard or naval
militia stationed therein or adjacent there
to. Proceedings of this character should
always be conducted by the courts, espe-
cially when ample provision is made for
every emergency that may arise in the pro-
ceedings."
