as leader. She spoke of the unfin-

FORBIDDEN BY CHINA.
Opposition Of. Coolies Going to the
Isthmus

The emigration of Chinese coolies from
their own country to Panama and Colombia
as laborers is not desired by the Chinese
government, according to mail advices re-
ceived here. City Magistrate Wang at
Shanghai under the instruction OF the
viceroy of Marking, has issued a proclama-
ton forbidding natives from going to Pana-
ma or Colombia, because these countries
have no treaty with China. 1t is announced
that any native acting for a coolie con-
tractor will be severely dealt with If dis
covered. 1t is believed by officials here that
the action taken in China to discourage
coolies from going to the isthmus Is the re-
suit of advice from Chinese merchants on
the isthmus and in the United States that
the coolies would not be well treated as
canal laborers.
