Tue president's velg to tbe anti Chinese bill was ex-pacted ex-pacted at the capitol to-day, mad there was great disappointment when the president's private Eecretary arrived without it. The pressure brought to bear on tbe president to induce bim to sign the bill ia remarkable, but up to this time it is certain that be has not yielded bis convictions and will veto the measure. a chinaman's views. New York, 26. Moy Jin Koe, a Chinaman, who has been here for several years studying for tha ministry, minis-try, says the Cliinamen who come hero are not real Chinamen, but are Tartars and coolies. He speaka English fluently, and in an interview said congress might very properly have legislated against the semi slave trade carried on by the six coolie importing im-porting companies of California, and that tbe Chinese government would gladiy have cooperated wiih oura in suppressing that traffic. It ia true tbe Chinese and Japanese are the same race, and he wondeia why tbe latter are welcomed while the former are excluded. He declares that many of the better class of Chinamen would come here if they could be properly protected in their pernons aul prop erty. Well educated and prosperous, as he is, he cannot bring bis wifsj to Lhia country, and respectable Chinese women are kept away for fear of ihe treatment to wbicb they might be subjected here. In tbia city Beveral of bis countrymen desired to attend free night schools, but were utterly discouraged from the attempt by insults in-sults to which they were subjected, and Moy Jin Kee declares that there are as many as sixty Chinese in this city to bis personal knowledge who would like to attend thceescbools, but are deterred by fear of ridicule and indignity. The Tribune aska, while New York ib busy denouncing the proscriptive spirit of tbe Pacific coast, might not something be done to give those men an educaticn which would not be denied de-nied to them if they were in China or Africa, inetead ol in civilized New York? |
